托福写作虽然对作文篇幅字数有一定要求，但如果只是单纯灌水凑够字数，文章的质量势必会受到影响，得分当然也不容乐观。想要避免作文水分太多，考生需要学会避免使用空洞的单词和词组。下面朗欧教育就来讲解具体方法技巧。
1. 缺乏信息内容的单词词组请删除
一些空洞的单词或词组根本不能为句子带来任何相关的或重要的信息，完全可以被删掉。比如下面的句子：
When all things are considered, young adults of today live more satisfying lives than those of their parents, in my opinion.
这句话当中的“when all things are considered”和“in my opinion“都显得多余。完全可以去掉。改为：
Young adults of today live more satisfying lives than their parents.
2. 空洞繁琐表达可替换
有些空洞和繁琐的表达方式可以进行替换，例如：
Due to the fact that our grandparents were under an obligation to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have at this point in time.
“due to the fact that”就是一个很典型的繁琐的表达方式的例子，可以替换，简化为下面的表达方式：
Because our grandparents were obligated to help their parents, they did not have the options that young people have now.
通过以上方式消除托福作文中的注水内容，用更有价值和干货的内容填充文章，这样的托福作文才能拿到较为理想的分数。
