看過官網(wǎng)歷年考試真題的，自然明白AP語言Q1Q2作文和托福寫作沒關(guān)系

Q1 Synthesis Question考對復(fù)雜信息的快速判斷和評估能力；Q2 Rhetorical Analysis 考分析文本時的咬文嚼字能力。這些在托福寫作都不涉及

能對比的也就是Q3 Argument Question。和托福獨立寫作一樣，這兩項作文看起來都要考生輸出觀點。但底層邏輯完全不同

托福寫作獨立項是考學(xué)生論述能力——用英語講理和辯護(hù)立場——故評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)明確要求有 appropriate explanations

那些編故事編數(shù)據(jù)論證的，想想「電視電影對年輕人行為有害，因年輕人會模仿暴力鏡頭做壞事蠢事，比如我的朋友Jason追了劇，想象自己也有超能力，然后跳樓摔死了」這種論述，是否算 appropriate explanations

Hint: 以上論述中 seriously?inappropriate 地方最少5處

而AP語言Q3 Argument Question, explanations 依然要足夠合理，但要求反而沒托福獨立寫作高。Q3更在意考生在一年的備考期間，是否充實了知識，是否在考試的40分鐘時限內(nèi)，能旁征博引地給出對陌生（但不偏不怪）話題的具體論據(jù)

換言之，有扣題的素材很重要。不過，全世界也只有中國考生在背（和老師在鼓勵學(xué)生背）

他們想必都沒聽過喬納森名言：Those who can, create; those who can't, copy.

在此贈送想背誦的同行以下一段我隨手寫的2011 Q3爆難題示范段

Paine’s characterization that "nothing" could "engender riots and tumults"?is also belied by present day realities. Look no further than how Black Lives Matter?(BLM) has divided the country. In the wake of George Floyd’s death in May 2020, the country has been in a constant state of heightened racial tension. On one hand are BLM protestors and sympathizers convinced that America?is systemically racist and in need of a racial awakening—hence the push for Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools and equity initiatives in the workforce. Not everyone is on board, however, with critics correctly highlighting that BLM and antifa protestors, however just their cause, have?resorted to criminal damage as a matter of course. Acts of looting, rioting, and other misdemeanors under the guise of civil protest have long endangered the lives and businesses of law-abiding citizens. When a complicit mainstream media failed to even report these riots and tumults—headlined by one CNN presenter?euphemistically calling?them "mostly peaceful protest"?despite buildings burning in the background—it is clear evidence that racial division is now an enabler of social unrest.
