本篇文章帶來的是托福口語巧用數(shù)字作為細節(jié)來有效的論證觀點。這個技巧適合的話題關(guān)鍵詞包括但卻不只是局限于money, score, time，people等。

　　Do you agree or disagree the statement? Athlete do not deserve the high salaries they are paid?

　　首先通過審題我們確定這是一道觀點題而不是喜好選擇題，然后迅速回憶評論觀點題的答題框架OREO， 即

　　Opinion

　　Reason

　　Elaboration

　　Opinion

　　同時對于discourse markers這些語言表達也要非常熟悉，做到脫口而出。口語化且不復(fù)雜的表示“我同意或不贊同”，“原因是”，“另外“，”“所以我認為”的語言表達如下：

　　That’s exactly how I feel.

　　I’d say the exact opposite.

　　It’s due to that…

　　On top of that,

　　That’s why I deem …

　　除了使用以上語言構(gòu)建出基本的答題框架，回答好這題還需要合適的理由和具體的事例來對觀點進行有效的解釋。將題干再次審閱發(fā)現(xiàn)他需要你討論的是“Do athlete deserve the high salaries or not? ”題干關(guān)鍵詞是high salaries，討論對象是athlete，我可能會聯(lián)想到一些收入過億的體育明星比如泰格伍茲過著紙醉金迷的奢靡生活，而蕓蕓大眾只有羨慕不已，我第一反應(yīng)是這不公平，所以我贊同。這僅僅是基于我對職業(yè)運動員收入現(xiàn)狀的匱乏的了解而作出的判斷，是不準確不令人信服的。不如我們先看下一組數(shù)字來了解一下到底有多少位運動員在職業(yè)生涯里獲得特別高的年收入。

　　According to the statistics, top athletes who play basketball, football, American football and Formula One earn almost 30 million dollars yearly. Among all the professional players, only 7 athletes’ total earnings exceed one billion dollars, which means that only one in 1.5 billion people has earned over 1 billion from sport career. They’re Michael Jordon, who tops this list making a total of $1.85 billion from his sports career, followed by Tiger Woods at &1.7 billion.

　　People can tell that with the exception of a few athletes get high salaries, in fact the rest of them earn as much salaries as average people.

　　了解了這些數(shù)據(jù)我感到不那么嫉妒了，原來15億人里才有1人從運動領(lǐng)域獲得超過10億美金的收入，他們是頂級職業(yè)運動員邁克爾喬丹和泰格伍茲。而非頂級運動員的年收入和其他行業(yè)的人也差不多。

　　看下面兩組數(shù)據(jù)的對比并得出如下結(jié)論：

　　There’re totally 55 million people who completed a Marathon race every year, while there were only 79 people who ran 200 meters in under 20 seconds. Those numbers can prove one fact, that unlike average people, successful athletes are extremely capable humans who were born with amazing athletic talent.

　　Therefore, I’m convinced that athletes do deserve the high salaries they’re paid.

　　對于不熟悉的話題我們?nèi)菀赘鶕?jù)主觀臆斷來潦草下結(jié)論，缺乏說服力的論證，而今天我教給考生們的是利用數(shù)字上的差異來進行比較對比并添加具體人物和數(shù)據(jù)，使得內(nèi)容更加具體豐滿，避免空洞無物的回答。
