托福独立写作的题目形式虽然大同小异，但是话题内容却千差万别。在托福独立写作中，有一类今昔对比类的题目，也就是把话题的中心根据时间的不同进行比较。在遇到这类题目的时候，考生应该如何应对呢?本文和大家介绍托福独立写作今昔对比类题目的解题方法。
TPO28题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents today are more involved in their children's education than parents were in the past. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.这道题目是关于“父母现在比过去对孩子的教育更多”。首先这是一道今昔对比类的题目，而针对今昔对比的题目一定要注意对比的双方是以对象为中心，以时间为衡量标准。也就是说，在比较的时候，应该突出人物在不同社会背景下的状态和处境。一般来说，在今昔对比类的题目比较时，应该注意比较不同的经济、教育、文化、科技水平、通信、医疗等社会各个层面去比较。
而针对题目中的教育问题，尤其是家庭教育问题，考生还要从教育水平、社会需求、对待教育的态度等方面来论述。接下来，介绍一下本文的思路拓展内容：
1)现代社会父母面对的压力和责任更多，当然也会付出更多的努力和关注度;
2)都说父母是孩子的第一任老师，孩子获得的家庭教育也是至关重要的;
3)现在人们把更多的精力放在孩子教育问题上，也会在考虑问题的时候结合孩子的教育。
下面结合范文的结构和内容，看一下如何在文章中运用到以上写作思路。
开头段：交代题目背景和内容，从而围绕着话题中心关键词，转到要讨论的题目，从而确定观点。
(直入主题，引到本文的核心内容)The involvement of parents in their children’s education has been acknowledged to include not only the exact knowledge and values they would tell their children but also the attention they would pay to their children’s educational process as well as the role they would play during the decision-making process. (确定观点)From my perspective, modern parents are more related to their children’s educational aspects than parents are in the past.
中间段：运用2-3个分论点阐释和论述作者观点
分论点1：It could not be denied that parents in the modern society would bear much more responsibilities and burdens as well than those in the past such as the financial pressure to support the family, due to the increasing desire of individuals and the economic reality in the present society. 现代社会父母面对的压力和责任更多，当然也会付出更多的努力和关注度。
分论点2：Moreover, the emphasis children would receive on their education from the parents has been increased significantly in the contemporary society, because of the fact that individuals now have generally believed in the essential influence of the education on people especially the younger generation. 都说父母是孩子的第一任老师，孩子获得的家庭教育也是至关重要的
分论点3：Furthermore, it has been proposed that current parents have been more active during the process of making decisions related to their children's educational choices than the past. 在人们把更多的精力放在孩子教育问题上，也会在考虑问题的时候结合孩子的教育
结尾段：总结上文中间部分的内容，然后重申题目观点。
(总结提示词)In conclusion, (运用转折的方式，使得自身的观点更突出)although modern parents might have less time with their children than those in the past during their educational period, they definitely could be regarded as more active in the participation in their children's educational activities in terms of the attention they might pay and the positive effort they might provide to help their children to make educational decisions due to the fact that they perceive the importance.
上文是以TPO28的题目内容为例和大家介绍的今昔对比类的题目的特点以及解题方法。考生在遇到这类题目的时候，可以根据话题双方在不同社会背景下的区别来写。应该细化到经济、教育、医疗、通信等方面。当然具体的内容，还是要以题目的内容为基准。
