對于很多TOEFLer來說，托福獨立寫作最讓人惆悵的并不是不會寫，而是不知道該寫啥?托福獨立寫作部分話題涉及各類領域，考察考生對特定話題的獨立觀點闡述， 而讓很多考生感到頭疼的恰恰不是語言表達本身，而是拿到題目不知從何寫起，遇到自己之前不熟悉不了解的話題，往往大腦一片空白。還有些同學因此走極端開始進行各類素材的瘋狂記憶積累，背到最后舌頭打結卻并不能清楚明晰自己到底都背了啥。

其實，托福獨立寫作的思路拓展我們完全可以“功夫在平時”，通過日常閱讀和聽力材料積累必要的話題素材，不求字字句句銘記只需大概了解特定范疇，再在日常托福備考中注意練習應用，學會觸類旁通融會貫通，考場上自然可以心中有數。下面我們來看一些和價值有關的話題素材拓展。

Sample Question：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People buy things not because they need them but because others have them.

“價值”是一個很寬泛的概念，針對上述題目，我們應該從對于一個人而言，影響一樣物品到底有沒有價值的因素有哪些這樣的角度來思考。

factor 1: Inclination(傾向)

傾向也就是一個人的偏好(preference or propensity)，付費購買任何物品的最大影響因素就是個人是否喜歡該物品。

Sample sentences:

1. For most people, the preference is the key factor which influences their decision of purchase, especially when the product costs a lot.

2. Sometimes, when people don’t need to concern about the price, then the factor of propensity may have a lower priority.

Factor 2: Criteria(標準)

對不同的人來說，衡量一個物品是否值得的標準是不一樣的，這跟人的視角(perspective)經歷都有關系。

Sample sentences:

1. For different people, whether something is worth to buy depends on his or her perspective.

2. Even gender makes a difference. For female, a 100 dollar fashion bag maybe much worthier than a 100 dollar computer, however, for male, it’s just the reverse.

Factor 3: Environment(環境)

如果一個人生長的環境是理性(rational)或者節儉的(frugal)，那么周圍人對他(她)的影響是甚微的。

Sample sentences:

1. If someone was cultivated in a frugal family, it’s hard for him or her to buy something unworthy even others purchase.

2. Compared with female, males are much more rational, so they are less inclined to purchase things not wanted only because others have them.

以上就是關于“value價值”相關的托福獨立寫作素材，希望大家在之后的托福備考中注意練習，寫作素材切忌死記硬背，只有融會貫通進行理解與應用才能收獲最佳備考效果。
