在托福独立写作部分，我们会针对题目的类型进行审题。然后找到更有利于我们拓展写作思路的方向。一般来说，托福独立写作会有三种写作方式：让步法、折中法、一边倒。从字面就能够看出这三种方式的侧重点。一边倒式适用于观点明确的题目，折中式适用于对于题目中的观点没有明显的选择;而让步式的写作方法则适用于选择一方的观点，却为了完善观点或者是照顾全局，在第三个分论点的时候会做一个让步(提一下未选择的观点)。接下来，我们从范文中了解一下什么是托福写作让步法，让步法应该如何使用。
这是2011年7月31日托福考试中出现的一道托福写作题目：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Physical exercises are much more important for elderly people than for young people.这道题目主要是“体育锻炼对于老年人比年轻人更重要”，问是否同意这个观点。下面是考生写作的一篇范文的文章的一个整体框架，这里是从反对题目的观点来论述的(这里只摘录了中间主体段的内容)：
First of all, little kids are more vulnerable to diseases such as flues and doing physical exercises can equip kids with stronger. My friend told me that he used to be very weak. However, after participating in some clubs like swimming club, his muscle got strengthened and compared with other kids, he seldom caught cold.
In addition, for kids, physical exercise can facilitate the growth of body Control. However, elder people can no longer grow taller. So, doing physical exercises make more sense for kids in this aspect. For instance, my nephew used to be a fat boy, by playing basketball every day; he grew into a big tall guy.
Admittedly, doing exercise can enable elderly people to strengthen their body and maybe extend their life. However, from the facts above, it is clearly that doing exercises bring more benefits to kids than elderly people.
从这篇文章的主题段我们能够看出，作者虽然是从反对题目的观点。也就是说，文章主要是从“体育锻炼对年轻人比老年人更重要”这个方面来论述。
提取主体段的一个框架：
1、Little kids are more vulnerable to diseases such as flues and doing physical exercises can equip kids with stronger body to fight against bacteria
2、For kids, physical exercise can facilitate the growth of body in some aspect like gathering information; Young people today are less dependent on their parents.
3、Doing exercise can enable elderly people to strengthen their body and maybe extend their life.
从提取的文章的分论点中我们能够看出，前两个分论点都是从支持观点的角度出发，论述“为什么体育锻炼对年轻人重要”;而第三个分论点则转而从老年人出发，说体育锻炼对于老年人同样重要。
其实，这篇文章就是采用了让步法的写作方式。也就是说，在论述的时候，前两个分论点是从支持观点的角度出发论述，而第三个分论点则提到反对观点的优势，从而起到让步的作用。
以上就是托福写作让步法的概念和使用方法。对于考生来说，如果在论述一个观点的时候，正方观点不足，或者觉得只从正方论述过于狭隘的话，就可以采用让步的方法。
