Rhetorical Strategies
For TOEFL, you need to learn the following eight rhetorical strategies: narration, process, description, illustration, compare-and-contrast, cause-and-effect, definition, classification.
Narration describes the passing of time. When we arrange events according to time, we put them in chronological or time order. for example:
Yesterday, Fatima got up at seven o’clock and took a shower. After that she had breakfast, then rode the bus to work. When she got to work, she checked her email, then discussed the new business plan with her colleagues.
Process means putting events in sequential or step-by-step order.
a. When making tea, first boil water. Next, put a tea bag into a cup. When the water is boiling, pour the water into the cup. Finally, add milk and sugar as you prefer. b. Titanic hit an iceberg, broke in two, then sank.
Description creates pictures of people, places and things using adjectives and adverbs. Description appeals to the senses: smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch.
a. Alexander, the keyboard player in the band, is wearing a black leather jacket, faded jeans and red cowboy boots. b. The old man lived alone in an old house high on a rugged cliff overlooking a stormy sea.
Illustration means example or supporting illustration, for example:
a. There are many places to go for a honeymoon. For example, many newlyweds go to Hawaii. b. When you visit Manhattan, I suggest you visit Times Square and Central Park.
Compare-and-contrast describes the differences and similarities between two or more objects, people or ideas. Compare-and-contrast also describes differences in opinion, for example:
a. Raquel tried the apple pie and decided the cherry pie was sweeter. b.Ivan believes that all high school students should wear school uniforms; however, Paula believes that students should have the right to choose what they want to wear.
Cause-and-effect means action and result. We use cause-and-effect to describe an action and the results, or consequences, of that action, for example:
a. Mohammed studied hard and got a high TOEFL score. b. Global warming is melting the ice at the North Pole.
A definition is a detailed description of a person, place, object or idea. The purpose of a definition is to give meaning, for example:
a. The dodo was a flightless bird native to New Zealand. b.TOEFL is an English language proficiency test developed and implemented by Educational Testing Services (ETS) located in Princeton, New Jersey.
To classify means to put people, things or ideas into sub groups under a main topic, for example:
a. There are three kinds of wine: red, white and rosé. b. TOEFL, TOEIC and IELTS are English language proficiency tests.
In this example, notice how the conclusion（结尾点题） confirms the premise(前提，开头总结), and takes us right back to the start. The speaking and writing raters will look for this closed or formal structure. Why? Because it means that you are using deduction as a method of organizing a fact-based argument, be it written or verbal.
When you start a fact-based argument with examples—then make conclusion based on your examples—you are using induction as the method of organizing your argument.
Coherence = A High Score
If you want high speaking and writing scores, your personal-opinion arguments and fact-based arguments must demonstrate coherence. Coherence means that the individual parts of your argument are working together proficiently to deliver a clear and logical message. An example is Mary’s personal-opinion argument about California and the fact-based argument about rice. The message in both the deductive and inductive responses is clear: Mary had a fabulous time in California and rice is classified according to grain size. How can you make sure that your verbal and written arguments demonstrate coherence on test day? By using the strategy called argument mapping.
Argument mapping is a graphics-based strategy designed to help you map out the structure of personal-opinion and fact-based arguments quickly and proficiently. By doing so, both essay types will demonstrate coherence.
An understanding of argument mapping begins with the paragraph map G+TiC. Translated, G+TiC means:
General statement + Transition + illustration + Conclusion
G+TiC describes the three-parts of a paragraph.(总分总结构)
- General statement(topic sentence)
- Transition + illustration(example)
- Conclusion(conclusion)
Details = greater topic development = a higher score.（Write subjectively. Write about yourself. Also, be specific. Include as many details as possible. ）

Although there are plenty of public places I usually visit in my town, the city library always pops into my mind and stands at the first position of my bucket list for the following reasons.
Firstly, reading is my cup of tea. Every time I get there, I would feel that I am like a drifting boat returned to the harbor. When I am tired, bored or frustrated, spending a few hours reading in the library can’t be more fantastic.
Besides, the city library seems like a bridge to me. I am on one side while the greatest minds are on the other. It tightly connects us together.
Finally, it’s like a beacon to me. Whenever I am puzzled, desperate or hopeless, I’d like to talk to my friends in the city library and in most cases I got indeed brilliant advice, they inspired me with wisdom and power.
In a nutshell, that’s why I like the city library.

Being Open-Minded
I recommend that my friend takes the job because working far away from his hometown will provide him with the opportunity to visit different places, which will benefit him for the following reasons.
First, living far away from his hometown can help broaden his perspective as he will have the chance to interact with people from diverse cultures. Embracing these differences, such as values, beliefs, ideas, and lifestyles, can make him more tolerant and enable him to lead a more fulfilling life.
Furthermore, visiting different places can enrich his experiences, as he will encounter new and diverse aspects of society. This will enable him to connect and share his experiences with others, making him more outgoing and friendly, and helping him to make new friends.
Sports Activites
Engaging in outdoor activities during the holidays is important to me because maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a priority. For instance, exercising is crucial for my overall well-being, helping me stay fit and ward off illnesses, which allows me to concentrate better on my studies for longer periods. Although prolonged hours of work can negatively impact my physical health, instead of spending extended periods indoors, I prefer participating in sports to stretch my muscles, boost my energy, and clear my mind. Upon returning, I find that I can better focus on my tasks.
Study Independently
I prefer to study in a quiet place, such as a library or a study room, for better learning efficiency. There are no distractions or noise, allowing me to concentrate fully on my studies and work without any disturbances. Working alone in a quiet environment helps me focus, work efficiently, and finish things quickly. On the other hand, working with friends or classmates in a group setting can be distracting due to noise and various activities. Therefore, I believe that working alone in a quiet place is the better option for me.
Environment issues
There are many ways to reduce air pollution, such as planting trees and encouraging people to use their cars less. First, planting trees can help absorb carbon dioxide from car emissions and waste gases, create sufficient oxygen, and remove harmful chemicals from the soil, benefiting our environment. Secondly, we should also raise people’s environmental awareness by promoting the use of public transportation, such as subways, buses, or carpooling with others. For shorter distances, people can walk or ride their bikes. If people use cars less, air pollution will be greatly reduced, and the environment will improve.
Technology Online Study
As a student, I’d love to choose the computer because it dramatically impacts my studies. I have the following reasons. First, online study is convenient. Since it doesn’t require a fixed location, students don’t need to travel to schools or libraries to study. They can study anywhere and anytime they want, like in a cafe. They can also make their schedule. Learning in this way is very easy and comfortable. Also, browsing online is an effective way to search for information. Since plenty of information is available online, students can find the necessary resources in a few minutes. Therefore, they don’t need to make appointments or wait until office hours to meet their teachers, and the time saved can enable them to get more work done.
Historical Relics/ Museum
I believe that protecting all buildings is crucial. First, all buildings remind people of their country’s history and culture. When tourists visit a city, they want to explore historical sites to learn about local traditions, lifestyles, and food. Without old buildings and historical artifacts, people cannot truly understand their history. Additionally, visiting old buildings allows tourists to experience unique masterpieces and art, enabling them to connect with the emotions of the artists in a way that isn’t possible through TV or the Internet. Therefore, all buildings serve as a bridge between people and a place.
