托福写作有一些常见的误区，考生可能在日常练习中没有发现，如果托福写作考试中真的出现这些误区，就很容易扣分失分。为了帮助大家避免这些问题，小编特地将这些问题一一整理出来，望采纳呀。
误区一、字数超出会扣分
很多同学在综合写作部分都会紧扣200词这一数字，认为超出这一数字会导致扣分。其实不然，在托福官方指南中，关于综合写作的字数要求描述如下：Suggested length is between 150 and 225 words. You will not be penalized if you write more, so long as what you write answers the question.根据以上文字描述，我们不难发现，字数并不是综合写作当中的扣分项，重要的是根据两段材料把问题阐释清楚。
误区二、套用模板
模板是中国考生在备考托福中不可避免接触到的一大内容，不可否认，模板在初学阶段可以让我们迅速地了解文章结构，引导我们学习如何去写一篇托福综合写作。但是，托福的综合写作只有区区两百个词左右，大家不妨回头看看自己的模板，一旦套用模板，真正需要你自己书写的内容就相当有限了。在规定的时间内，如果把大量的时间花在回忆模板、书写模板上，势必会导致文章质量的下降。这样的文章，与其说是综合写作，不如说是对两份材料的一个固定套路总结，是十分不可取的做法。
除了上面的正文容易出现的误区，审题也经常会出现误区。
例如：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Advertising is the only main cause for people's unhealthy eating habits.
看到这个题目，同学们立刻会开始想，有没有other reasons for unhealthy habits，想出三条如：1. People's tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on "endless diets"; 3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effective stress reliever. 综上所述，advertising is not the only cause.
这个写法看起来非常完备，但其实犯了一个不起眼却严重的错误--题目不是要我们证明it is not the only cause，而是要我们去证明it is not the only main cause。多一个"main"，意思是很不一样的。如果我们只需要证明it is not the only cause，那么找出other causes即可即例1中的写法。但是，如果我们要证明it is not the only main cause，就需要证明other causes that we mentioned are also main causes，这就需要在每一段中加上一些专门的说明。或者，更简单的办法是去证明advertising is not even a cause, 直接在每段的末尾加上advertising与该段所论述的unhealthy eating habit无关的论述即可。If it is not a cause, how can it be the onlymain cause? 这样一来，就不用通过证明还有其他main cause来反驳了，事实上，证明某种cause是main cause还是挺有难度的，因此笔者推荐同学们用后一种方式进行论述。因此，文章还是disagree，而三段的主题句分别应该是：1、1. People's tight schedules do not allow them to eat at regular hours, and it is obvious that they are too busy to be influenced by advertising; 2. Sometimes people are eager to lose weight or to keep fit so that they go on "endless diets", and this is more like a result of human nature, the pursuit of beauty, but not advertising; 3. Bearing heavy burden both physically and mentally, some consider eating constantly as their most effective stress reliever, and it is quite clear that no advertising encourages them to do so.
