戴爾美語TOEFL托福試題與解題示範教學 2025年10月14日

Professor’s Prompt:
Some argue that raising teacher pay would attract more qualified professionals to education. Others suggest that funding should instead go toward improving school facilities and tools like books and technology.
Which side do you support?

Student A:
Raising teacher salaries would improve education quality.
Higher pay could attract top talent who might otherwise choose corporate careers.
We need our most capable individuals in classrooms shaping young minds.

Student B:
I think teacher salaries are already fair, and further increases may not lead to major improvements.
Instead, schools should invest in updated learning tools.
Technology and information evolve fast, so students need modern resources to stay competitive.

範文


In terms of advancing the quality of education on the campus, a measure with more promising prospect is to use funding to buy more resources and equipment instead of raising teachers’ salaries.

這段開頭句 “In terms of advancing the quality of education on the campus, a measure with
more promising prospect is to use funding to buy more resources and equipment instead of
raising teachers’ salaries.”
是一個典型的「立場型開場句」(thesis-type opening sentence)。

它做了三件關鍵的事:

1. 
明確設定主題範圍:以 advancing the quality of education on the campus 為討論核心,點出作文主題。
2. 直接表明作者立場:使用 a measure with more promising prospect is... 宣告「購置設備」比「提高薪資」更有效。
3. 暗示雙方論點結構:句中 instead of raising teachers’ salaries 表示即將討論對立觀點(支薪 vs. 購置資源),為下一段「讓步轉折」作鋪陳。


Kelly argues that more funding should spent on increasing teachers’ salaries to enhance the quality of education.
However, it must be pointed out that the beneficiaries of such policy are mostly the teachers
themselves only, while all the raises on a regular basis could amount to a handsome fees that could saddle the school with financial stress and undermine the quality of education.

本段第二句:
“Kelly argues that more funding should be spent on increasing teachers’ salaries to enhance the quality of education.
However, it must be pointed out that the beneficiaries of such policy are mostly the teachers themselves only, while all the raises on a regular basis could amount to a handsome fees that could saddle the school with financial stress and undermine the quality of education.”

這一段運用了 典型的讓步—反駁結構(concession + rebuttal),其技巧如下:


一、讓步(Concession):“Kelly argues that…”
→ 先「誠懇陳述對方論點」:提高薪水有助教育品質,營造公正辯證的姿態。

二、轉折標誌(However):
→ 明確標誌論證方向的轉變,是 IELTS 寫作中常見的「立場回歸」信號詞。

三、反駁(Rebuttal):
→ “it must be pointed out that…” 轉入主張缺陷說明。


指出問題兩層:
• 受益者偏狹(只有教師得利)
• 長期財務壓力導致反效果(undermine quality)

 
主論段
Differently, dedicating more money to supplying libraries with more books and labs with high-tech
gadgets are more advantageous.
For one thing, such resources offer sustained benefits given their extended life span.
For another, computers and academic publications are used by both teachers and students instead of being occupied exclusively.
In addition, equipment can carry an exorbitant price, so the departments in a dire need of equipment update can be better benefited since they may not be able to purchase the equipment by themselves. Most importantly, as soon as the campus is equipped with state-of-the-art machines and a rich collection of books, such assets will prove a plus and produce a magnetic pull for teachers, scholars, and young talents to contribute their learning back to the school.


一、本段以 “Differently” 開頭,明確標誌出與前一段(討論加薪)相反的立場,轉向作者的主要論點——「投資於設備與資源更具長遠效益」。

二、全段以三組層層遞進的理由支撐主張:
• 第一層:「資源具長期效益」——書籍與儀器可長期使用,延展教育成果。
• 第二層:「共享性強」——不同於薪水僅惠及教師,設備與書籍惠及全體師生。
第三層:「成本高但可集中投資」——能幫助經費不足的系所改善基礎設施。

三、最終以 “Most importantly…” 的句子作為主論收結,將物質投資轉化為學術吸引力與人
才磁場,從實質(設備)推向象徵(聲望),論點完成層級提升。
