在托福写作中，开头段是一篇文章的开始，是给读者的第一印象。虽然，开头段只是对于文章内容的简单介绍，不过考生如果能够使用合理的方法，就能够增加文章的可读性。接下来，前程百利小编和大家分享托福写作开头段的写作方法，帮助考生更好地规划文章的内容。
这里主要和大家介绍托福写作开头段常用的背景引入法和故事介绍法。背景引入法主要指提出一种普遍的或值得关注的现象作为背景，从而从小话题开始讨论，最后引出题目中介绍的关键词，从而紧扣主题。而故事介绍法，则是从身边或者是大家比较熟知的故事入手，把故事和题目主题结合起来，能够带给读者更加真实的感受。
1、一般说来，背景引入法开头段的结构通常如下：
背景话题的引入(大概需要2-3句话);然后是和论题结合，引出题目话题;接下来是针对正反两方的观点，给出简单的理由;最后就是提出自身观点。
以TPO8中独立写作试题为例：Television advertising directed towards young children (aged two to five) should not be allowed. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.题目涉及广告对儿童的影响。
这样，我们就可以以这种社会比较关注的现象作为我们作文的开头背景。因此这个题目的首段就可以这样开始：(提出观点)Coincident with most people's notion is my heartfelt belief that television advertising directed toward young children should not be allowed. (背景引入)Since the advent of television, advertising has permeated every corner and every minute of our life. It is not uncommon to observe the large amounts of television advertising aiming at innocent young children. (重申观点，引出原因)My reasons for opposing advertising directed toward young children are as follows.
文章开头段落第二句话紧贴社会的背景，这样写不但很容易打开考生自己的思路，抓住作文的焦点，还能引起读者的共鸣。
2、故事介绍法的开头段的结构和背景很相似(如下)：
介绍身边或者是大家熟知的一些故事;然后讲故事内容和题目结合(扣题)：最后就是表达自己的观点。
以TPO18的独立写作题目为例：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Students are more influenced by their teachers than by their friends. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.(文章比较父母和老师哪一个对学生的影响更大)。
这样的话题对于考生再熟悉不过，所以考生从自己或者身边的事情来引出，更能够增加读者的真实感受，也比较好引入。因此，这道题目的开头段可以这样引入：
(故事引入)All of us are surrounded by different kinds of people every day. For students, when they are at school, they are mainly surrounded by teachers and their friends. (扣题)Both of these two kinds of people have great influence on students. (提出自己观点)However, I still believe that friends have greater influence on students than teachers do.
从开头段可以看出，文章首先引入故事情节;后来讲故事内容和题目联系起来，紧扣主题;最后，作者提出自己的观点。
以上就是前程百利小编针对托福写作开头段写作方法的简单介绍。希望考生能够从背景引入和故事介绍这两种方法中学习到一些开头段的写作方法，从而更好地备考托福写作。
