个人角度通常会涉及到个人的身体和心理的健康，个人的动机，梦想，兴趣爱好，职业和学业，家庭背景，个人生活方式以及个人的能力。

社会角度一般包括政府税收，教育，民族文化，经济，能源环境以及社会秩序。

在考生拿到一个托福作文题目后，无论对这个题目持有什么样的立场，都可以按照以上两个方面来构思。接下来我们可以通过分析两个例题来感受上述方法。

1. Government should be responsible for the tuition fee of university students. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

题目的意思是政府该不该支付大学生的学费，针对这个题目，无论是同意还是不同意，我们都按个人和社会两个角度来看一下。

同意

个人：For those students who are with great intelligence but from poor families, government surely should be responsible for their tuition fee and provide them opportunities to go to school and then release pressure for their families. 因为此题讨论的是大学生的学费，正如前面所提到的，个人的构思角度包括"个人家庭经济背景"。

社会：As we all know, economy is a master key to a country's development and it is undeniable that students who finish their education are the main force pushing forward social and economic development, for which government should encourage education for the benefits of the whole society. 既然从社会角度出发，就要试着往这方面靠拢，首先想想学生接受教育对社会的益处是什么?上文提到，社会角度包括"经济"，所以政府支持教育必然对推进社会经济发展有好处。

不同意

个人：Paying tuition fee for university students can make them access to education easier, therefore, some students may lose motivation without financial pressure and will not cherish the studying opportunities. As a consequence, it is hard to guarantee the quality of university education. 个人的角度包括"学习动机"，政府给大学生支付学费可能会让他们丧失学习动机，从而影响教学质量。

社会：Due to the limited financial budget, government is likely to suffer a great pressure if spending too much money on education; as a result, our government will not have extra energy to develop in other fields, such as science and technology, as well as the medical advances, which are also with great significance to society。
