首先，知己知彼，才能百戰不殆。在託福寫作語言的運用上，明確規定語言的運用要達到熟練，那麼，就需要考生多多掌握寫作中的亮點句型句式，體現出句法的多樣性，以及詞彙選擇的恰當性。大家要注重句型句式的積累，但是，很多備戰的考生往往特別容易忽視寫作中的小詞。妙用小詞短句，才是應付托福考試，取得高分的關鍵。例如，Thus， rather than making progress， people star to wind down since they’ve lost their motivation for working; so would the teachers.
學生們從事兼職工作不是為了賺錢，而是為了更好地瞭解社會。
College students take up part-time jobs not for making more money， but for an opportunity to understand the society.
其次，細化列舉是對主題句中的關鍵詞或關鍵情節的細化。表示細化列舉的'小詞很有表現力，可以直接給出託福寫作中的核心部分：舉例子。這正是很多考生最需要加強的環節。靈活運用這類小詞，句法上看起來更為靈活，同時，句意表達起來也更生動，這樣，才有可能得取高分。這裡我們給出部分加分詞的用法和例子，供大家參考。
