很多考生認(rèn)為獨(dú)立寫作不容易寫，主要原因是因?yàn)闆]有想法或語言不好表達(dá)。其實(shí)，思路和表達(dá)是由邏輯決定的。而所有文章的邏輯都可以通過一種“自問自答”的方式展開。這樣，你的思路如同行云流水一般流暢，而你的語言也會(huì)隨著思路從容地表達(dá)出來。

下面以2011年05月13日北美新托福獨(dú)立寫作真題為例，題目為：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better for parents to encourage their children to take a part-time job.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

題目：父母該不該鼓勵(lì)孩子做兼職工作？
破題思路：
1）問：不做兼職會(huì)怎樣？答：有可能無所事事而招惹麻煩，受到周圍人的影響沾染上壞習(xí)性。
2）問：做兼職會(huì)怎樣？答：學(xué)會(huì)管理時(shí)間、培養(yǎng)責(zé)任心、珍惜閑暇時(shí)光和辛苦賺到的錢（全文中心論點(diǎn)）。

因此，開頭可以這樣展開。
第一句，不做兼職可能會(huì)怎樣：
Children with too much free time are more likely to get themselves in trouble because teenagers tend to develop bad behavior from the influence of their friends and peers.

第二句，還是做兼職好（引出中心論點(diǎn)）：
I think that a parent should encourage his or her children to do a part-time job to instill in them the value of time management, a sense of personal responsibility, and also to help them to learn the value of money.

中間段落的邏輯展開也可以如法炮制，如Paragraph 1：
問：做兼職有何好處？答：學(xué)會(huì)管理時(shí)間（本段論點(diǎn)）。
While a part-time job sometimes conflicts with studies, this experience can help young people acquire important time management skills that will help them succeed in college.
問：具體而言，管理時(shí)間有何意義？答：拖延時(shí)間會(huì)拉低學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)（舉例論證）。
If students begin learning to manage a tight schedule in high school, they will soon understand that procrastination can be detrimental to their grade point average.
得出結(jié)論，點(diǎn)題：

A part-time job makes them block off more time each day for work, school and homework.
反問：如果不做兼職可能會(huì)怎樣？答：時(shí)間觀念差（再次強(qiáng)調(diào)論點(diǎn)）。

Without a part-time job, their schedules are more likely to be unstructured.
后面的段落與之相仿，也是通過自問自答將行文邏輯展開，層層遞進(jìn)、環(huán)環(huán)相扣。這樣的文章思路清晰、邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、可操作性強(qiáng)，便于模仿和記憶（本題范文請(qǐng)參考《常遠(yuǎn)新托福寫作真經(jīng)》第205頁）。
