很多备考托福的同学，对于写作部分挺头疼的，自己写有困难，背范文又苦于找不到地道的素材。其实，就算看不懂艰涩难懂的科普稿和文风肆意的新闻稿，别忘了，美国还有个自带演讲技能的前总统呢!
奥巴马擅长演讲，他的演讲稿也可以称得上是英语考试的范文。今天要和大家分享的，就是取材于奥巴马早年关于财政政策的演讲，我们逐段来分析下。
以下每一段的分析分三部分，第一部分都是原文，第二部分是根据原文制作的范文，第三部分是该段落的用途。为了保证大家不会有理解错误，力劝大家首先研究原文的含义，然后再使用修改后的范文，绝对能做到事半功倍哦!

What we’ve been debating here in Washington over the last few weeks will affect the lives of the students here and families all across America in potentially profound ways. This debate over budgets and deficits is about more than just numbers on a page; it’s about more than just cutting and spending. It’s about the kind of future that we want. It’s about the kind of country that we believe in. And that’s what I want to spend some time talking about today.
