所谓美文，血之灵动，肉之丰腴、骨之刚健！
好文章要同时满足有血有肉，但基础是要有骨骼，就是清晰的思路和模板，论据让文章充实，优美的词藻就是血让文章灵动的血。
建议：
1.前期先多欣赏如孙远之文，思路流畅、辞藻华美，境界较高，是国外学生写的用词地道，关键是对前期思维训练很有用，看看美国人针对问题是怎么想的，在此过程中可以提高阅读和收集自己的词汇，为自己提供充足的血库。欣赏的同时把优美的转折副词、警句等划出来欣赏，不用过于关注，重点是整个浏览一遍，为第二阶段做准备。孙远的缺点是无固定的模板，不利于中国学生为己所用。（如果时间不多不提倡）
2.中期看前辈的提纲，重点是整理自己的提纲，看155，遇到好的论据抄、搬、挪、背，先把肉养肥了再说。推荐eihpos和reddrgon的提纲总结，CD有下载。在这个过程中总结自己的模板，适当的用模板来“填空作文”，就是用自己的模板抄别人的论据，然后比较、整理模板。
3.临考前多写，保持思维通畅性，并详尽研究6分模板，练就坚硬的骨骼。机考作文是电脑和人一起评分，也就是说有几种欺诈手段综合使用可以让你骗到5分以上。
手段一：字数400以上：TOEFL系统是参照GMAT系统做的，字数上到一定标准会有加分（孙远言）。换句话说打字很重要。
手段二：6分模板：电脑的评分标准是，每个分数段都有一个样板题库，然后进行比较，仔细分析6分模板，大家可以看出是由固定套路的。
5段式作文：
第一段 陈述论点
第二段 重点论据段
第三段 次重点论据段
第四段 分析段（支持性保留）
第五段 重述论点
手段三：出彩，即用6分词库中的辞藻和警句，前者在机考中更为实用，因为ETS的评分系统中专门有高分词库。例如在最容易出彩的分析段中，一般要说你同意观点的不足，即要转折，大多数人都会用however，但在孙远作文第一篇中就教会了我们一个经典单词paradoxically，第一阶段中的积累工作就体现出来了。但一篇文章中仅仅使用一两个出彩词作用并不大，重点还是要保持文章整体的流畅性，结构完整有逻辑性、例证具体论证有力、用信号词表明起承转合、多变的句式这是高分的关键。
手段四：检查错误。最容易忽视、失分的原因，一定留2－3分钟重点检查明显的标点错误、拼写错误、大小写错误和语法错误（主谓一致、时态、单复数、词性）。这是致命伤，TWE中唯一的硬性标准。TOEFL评分标准对于语法错误的定义如下：
六分 个别语法和拼写错误，但不影响内容表达；
五分 少量语法、少量用词不当和拼写错误，与六分相比，文章错误略多；
四分 部分句法错误、用词不得体（大小写无区分，缺少文体意识）、词性区分和拼写有若干错误，总体影响是文章框架结构与连贯较好，个方面的错误都有一些。
说了怎么多，其实万变不离其宗，能用出来的才是你自己的。古镯之拙见如有所失，望大家给予指正。
【附 1】高分词汇示例
when people succeed, it is because of hard work, luck has nothing to do with success. Do you agree or disagree with the above quotation?
There is a humorous saying in English – “There grass is always greener on the other said of the valley”. The saying is used ironically to point out that there is a temptation in us all to insist that others are more fortunate than ourselves. This is nowhere more true than on the question of luck and hard work. When faced with the ‘bad times’, we often find comfort in the idea that we are special in our degree of misfortune. I feel that such an attitude is negative, and that it can bring only further misfortune.（注意作者在表述观点时的陈述）
Many famously successful people have begun from small origins. Mao was the son of a (modestly prosperous) peasant; the explorer Captain Cook was so poor that, as a child, he had to work by day and study by night; many of the affluent Americans of today are the children of the poor immigrants of yesterday. Beethoven, it should be remembered, became deaf before the end of his career.(三个排比的例子做为illustration)
There are many, many more people who have also made genuine, thought less spectacular, successes against the odds. Within his own terms, a person who is born into poverty in India is a great success if he manages to own a house in later life. Poverty cannot be reduced by merely complaining and blaming others ; no matter how guilty other people are, each individual must reach out to success for himself. Indeed, some economists believe that the world operates by what they call “the rule of the jungle”. They believe that in economics a person always attempts to gain profit from his neighbor: that given the chance the poor man would quickly make himself rich by trading to his own advantage.
Also, it is presumptuous to judge another according to his or her apparent fortune. No man can ever truly understand the sufferings of his neighbor. A man who appears comfortably rich may have suffered elsewhere in his life – through the death of a love one, for example. Retired businessmen have often worked long hours in their youth. Surely, it must be wiser to respect achievement than to deny that anyone has achieved good in the world.
To rely on notions of luck – to believe that life is a kind of lottery – is an attempt to escape reality. Paradoxically, the only time a person can claim that luck is more important than work is when he reflects on his own success. Because of that modesty, the great man then becomes even greater.
