想要讓自己的托福獨立寫作內容更加充實，通常我們都會在文章中引用各種各樣的例證。但是，我們在使用例證時候，如果只能想到 "for example" 這樣簡單的表達方法又該怎么辦呢?下面我們就為大家介紹一下托福寫作巧用例證表達法，希望能為大家的托福寫作帶來幫助。

在托福例證使用時候，大家最熟悉的當然是 "for example" 和 "for instance" 了。這兩個表達法后面可以接名詞性成分或者句子。還可以說 "take … for example" ，比如： "Let's take an extreme case for example. …"用來修飾 "example" 的形容詞很多， 應該熟練掌握：

characteristic; classic; prime; representative; typical | excellent; fine;

good; impressive; magnificent; outstanding; perfect; superb; wonderful

| fascinating; interesting; intriguing; notable; remarkable; striking;

graphic; vivid; dramatic; extreme; spectacular; clear; obvious; simple;

straightforward; blatant; flagrant; glaring | familiar; famous;

well-known; notorious; common; rare; much-quoted; oft-quoted;

often-quoted | illustrative; helpful; illuminating; instructive; useful;

practical | concrete; hypothetical

這里面要是你有哪個詞不認識， 那就一定要背下來， 然后寫作文的時候用上，這樣你就用了一些“別人可能不用的詞匯”，顯得稍微superior 了一點。能夠對 "example" 發出的動作有 : give; provide; contain; include; cite;draw; take (sth. a s ) ; f i n d 。而 "example" 能夠發出的動作有 : abound;demonstrate; illustrate; show 等等。

也可以直接讓“ 例子” 發出動作， 比如這樣的情況： The behavior of　Meerkats giving alarm calls clearly/well exemplifies the existence of　altruism.

有很多個例子的時候， 用這樣的表達法： "A, B, C, and so on." 或者 "A,B, C, and etc.." 如果是口語表達， 比較常用的有"..., and something like that."或者" . . . a n d s t u f f l i ke that."

有的時候， 你可能在舉了很多個例子之后想說“ ... 就更不用提了。” 或者“ 更不消說… … ” ， 那用的表達法是： " not to men t i o n . . . " 或者 "let alone..." 。

舉例子的時候， 可以先舉幾個例子然后再概括一下; 或者反過來， 先概括之后列舉幾個實例。所使用的結構分別是： "A such (B) as X, Y and Z" ;或者 "X, Y, Z, and other A" 。例如：History , philosophy, fundamental mathematics, and other abstract　subjects can be learnt mainly from books.Some subjects , such abstract ones as history, philosophy, and　fundamental mathematics, can be learnt mainly from books.

有的時候， 舉例子可能需要做出限定或者指定， 那可以用 "as" 這個詞，例如： " A narrow, confining room, as in a prison or convent, would　make anyone nuts. "

能夠用豐富的例子說明問題其實是一種能力， 關鍵在于平時的刻意積累。

如果你有能力舉出很多例子， 那就需要這樣的句型：

Examples abound in history/our daily life that…

Examples /instances are countless/innumerable/numerous

Stories abound of alcoho l i c s who flush their daily pill down the t o i l e t　or "cheek" it, only to dispose of it later.

Similar examples of "nuptial gifts" abound throughout the anima l　world.

History/Our daily life/This world abounds in examples which　demonstrate…

The list will go on.

The list would be endless if we try to make an inventory of such　examples.The litany of drug damage goes on and on.

The list of profit-making, instinct-exploiting products is long.　Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident,　pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a　few personality traits.

如果你舉的例子非常經典， 又顯而易見， 不妨使用這個句型：

Remember that... ( 相當于“ 記得… … 吧? ” )

If we want to predict how aggressively a man will guard his wife, we need look no further than age. ( … 想想 / 看看就可以了)

Success requires a tenacious spirit and a drive to achieve. Nowhere is　this more apparent in the entertainment business. Thousands of　actors and actresses work tenaciously to have a career in the movies.　But without beauty or talent, tenacity i s n ' t always rewarded, and only a　few become stars.

用最近發生的事情做例子：

An instance occurred recently in which…如果舉的例子是“ 軼事” 、“ 傳說” 、“ 某個學說” 之類的， 那可以用這　樣的句型： Legend/Gossip/Rumor/Words/A theory/A saying has it　that. . . ; As story goes: . . . ; That's how the story goes.; 或者Story　goes. . . ( g o e s 后面接完整的句子。例如： Story Goes Viral Alex Jones　appears on CNN, poll says three-quarters plus support Sheen. )

有的時候要用一些想象出來的例子說明問題， 那用這些詞開頭：

Consider ; Imagine; Suppose; Say; Assume; 或者在這些詞后面直接　加上一個賓語或者一個賓語從句， 比如 "Imagine a person who is　worrying about his future." 或者 "Suppose a person is worrying about his future."

這樣想象出來的 case ， 還可以用 sometimes , in some cases, in some specific cases 開頭開始講述。也可以用條件句型， "If…, …." 或者 "When…, …." 以及， There are many cases in which… ( 有些情況下… … ); There are moments when … ( 有些時候… … ); We all have　met the cases in which… ( 我們都會遇到… … 的情況) ; We all have　moments when… ( 有些時候我們都會… … ) … …
