托福独立写作思路：
1. 家长会给我们提一些建议，他们教我们如何选择朋友，发现我们潜在的能力;
2. 老师会给我们提一些建议，帮助我们解决学习上的问题，指导我们进行职业规划;
3. 导师会给我们提一些建议，帮助我们培养工作技能，管理人际关系。
Getting advice from friends who are older than you is more valuable than getting advice from friends your same age. Do you agree or disagree ?从年长的朋友处得到的建议比从同龄的朋友处得到的建议更加有价值?
点睛：
题目大意：从年长的人获得建议要比从同龄人获得建议更有价值。此题目重复2014年11月8日B卷原题，解题思路和老年人的建议有没有价值是一样的。波波建议选择同意，对advice 进行拆分，拆分成工作和教育两个角度，分别证明年长人的意见的价值。
托福写作范文参考一:
【首段】 背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场
A close friend is what every individual longs after. After all, a day without friendship is like a day without sunshine. A true friend should be one from who we can resort to for help or get valuable suggestions when we are in time of adversity. People differ greatly in their views as to whether or not guidance and advice from older friends is superior to the counterparts from peers. As I see it, advice from elderly friends deserves more praises, although suggestions from our peers are never without their merits.
【二段】年长的朋友的建议的利好
For a start，rich life experience could be seen as a sort of precious wealth, including those bitter or frustrating experiences. Every individual grows up via experiencing failure or dilemma, one might，at times，feel puzzled，thereby，he or she needs advice and guidance from friends.
Under such circumstances, older friends could be our best teachers because they have accumulated a pool of life wisdom, thus, their advice could be precious life guidance. A survey is persuasive enough to justify my stand, the survey conducted by Vista, after consulting many people have found that most respondents claimed that compared with communicating with peers, they prefer to get advice from elderly friends, for their suggestions could help to diminish the likelihood of failure and avoid detours
【三段】年长的朋友的建议的利好
This debate reminds me of my Uncle Paul, who is a successful business leader. My uncle had studied in New Zealand for more than five years, so, he strongly recommended me to study abroad when facing with the option of studying at home or furthering my study in a foreign country. His suggestion was that a young man could become mature, tenacious and confident by personal struggle in an unfamiliar environment.
After listening to my uncle’s advice, I studied even harder during the process of self-improvement, I happily found that I can be more attentive and have more self-discipline. More importantly, I had a clear goal to fight for. It was the suggestion form my uncle that helps me to hardened my heart to study overseas. I had deliberately chosen to lead the life I desire, for the life wisdom learning from my uncle could be considered as a shortcut to success.
【四段】年轻朋友的建议也有利好
Indeed, I have to concede that suggestions from peers might still their merits to some extent. An argument hold by some people is that people of the similar age have a lot in common such as growth environment or educational background, in this sense, their communication could be more convincing.
Furthermore, some people might argue that the experiences of past bear little relevance to today’s life. What I want to rebut，however，is that youngster’s understanding about life is far from mature compared with those from older friends, after all, older friends are more far-sighted and wise.
【尾段】再次亮明观点
In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that guidance and suggestions from mature friends expert a far more profound and beneficial effect on one’s action.
