托福写作如何举例说明？如何进行故事举例呢？故事一般可由以下两类词汇引入，现在我们来逐一讨论。
一、illustrate与exemplify，这两个词是大多数考生所不熟悉的，如果能将它们用好，必定会使文章增色不少，这两个词通常用来引人一个真实发生的事件，使用时需要注意以下几点(illustrate与exemplify同义，可互换)：
1. illustrate 与exemplify都是及物动词，它们的宾语都是表“观点”的词，如point等。
2. 为了体现句法多样性，with可用by替换，the case of可用the example of与the story about等表达进行替换，但要注意它们所用介词的不同。
3. exemplify被很多的考生拼错，写成examplify——它与example不同，是以exe-开头的，而不是exa-。偶尔的拼写错误不伤大雅，但是很多的拼写错误很有可能导致失分。
【参考例句】
Tourists are likely to be taken by tour guides to stores where souvenirs are extremely expensive. I will illustrate/exemplify this point with the case of my cousin Joseph, who last year went on a guided tour with a group of approximately 20 people to France. When they finished visiting the Eiffel Tower, the tour guide took them to a souvenir store nearby. Joseph bought a miniature Eiffel Tower there for 100 dollars, which was too expensive.
当然，也可以选择被动语态，主动被动换着使用，写成：
Tourists are likely to be taken by tour guides to stores where souvenirs are extremely expensive. This point can be illustrated/exemplified with the case ofmy cousin Joseph, who last year went on a guided tour with a group of approximately 20 people to France. When they finished visiting the Eiffel Tower, the tour guide took them to a souvenir store nearby. Joseph bought a miniature Eiffel Tower there for 500 dollars, which was too expensive.
二、…deserves a special mention，这个表达也是大多数考生所不熟悉的，如果能用好它，文章一定会显得高大上，这个表达通常也用来引人一个真实发生的事件，使用时需要注意以下几点：
1. 在…deserves a special mention中，a可以省略，写成…deserves special mention。
2. 为了体现句法多样性，when it comes to…可用speaking of…等表达进行替换。
3. 也可结合上面提到的语言点，写成The case of…/The example of…/The story about…deserves a special mention，后跟具体的事件即可;由于主语是第三人称单数，因此deserve也要相应地使用第三人称单数，这是非常简单的问题，但往往被相当一部分考生所忽略，因此造成失分，非常可惜。
【参考例句】
When it comes to being taken by tour guides to stores where souvenirs are extremely expensive, my cousin Joseph deserves a special mention. He last year went on a guided tour with a group of approximately 20 people to France. When they finished visiting the Eiffel Tower, the tour guide took them to a souvenir store nearby. Joseph bought a miniature Eiffel Tower there for 500 dollars, which was too expensive.
