篇1:GRE写作之IssueOG学习心得
GRE写作--Issue OG学习心得
Analyze an Issue Task(下文简称Issue写作)永远都是大家考GRE时遇到的第一个任务。30分钟的时间,围绕给出的话题独立完成一篇文章 。OG上面给出的官方定义是这样的:
The Issue task presents an opinion on an issue of broad interest followed by specific instructions on how to respond to that issue. You are required to evaluate the issue, considering its complexities, and develop an argument with reasons and examples to support your views.
(Issue写作任务会给出一个对大众息息相关的话题的一个观点和具体的写作指导,来告诉大家应该怎样对这个话题进行回答。你们需要评价这个话题,考虑其复杂性,并且写出一段有理论、例子支撑你观点的论证)(OG P11)
用一个大家可能会熟悉的考试来进行比较的话,和Analyze an Issue Task最接近大概就是托福考试的最后一项--独立写作了。也是三十分钟的时间,也是与生活相关的话题、差不多的出题形式,但是两种考试考察目的却有本质的不同。如果说托福更注重的是语言的表达,那么GRE的Issue更注重的就是逻辑。毕竟,托福考试考察的是外国留学生在美国学习、生活的能力,而GRE考察的则是想要念美国研究生的本科生/本科毕业生是否具有符合研究生学术层次的分析性思考和写作能力,也正是GRE写作的官方定位--Analytical Writing (分析性写作)。这种分析性写作的根本则在于critical thinking,也就是我们所谓的“辩证思考”或者“批判性思考”,而它在题目中最明显的体现,就在于话题的“complexities”(复杂性)。话题的complexities在于它不只是回答绝对的“对”、“错”或者“同意”和“不同意”就可以的,而是无论自己的观点如何,都需要考虑正方和反方从多角度考量的利弊--这也就是我们称为“complexities ”的地方,这一点从题目本身就足以得到印证。我们会在下文举例讨论。
怎么想、怎么写,相辅相成。只有想法和内容足够清晰、有深度、广度,才能写出具有“clear and insightful”观点的文章(ETS官方对于满分6分作文的评分标准,OG P37);而只有结构清晰、表达形式丰富的语言,才能够把内容清晰、有深度、广度的想法化成一篇优秀的analytical writing。
所以归根到底,GRE的写作,尤其是个人发挥的自由度比较大的Issue写作,只用研究透两件事情--怎么想,怎么写。我们接下来就从这两个角度分别来分析,以便于了解在备考时应该怎样提高自己的思考和写作能力,才能够在GRE写作中拿到理想的分数。
怎么想?
在学会“怎么想”之前,我们首先得了解题目。题目一般是由两部分组成的:题干(issue)和写作指令(writing instruction)。题干是供讨论的话题本身,而写作指令则是告诉你怎样去写。根据官方网站给出的题库显示,话题一共有152道,范围涉及学习教育、政治社会、思想行为、科技生活、历史文化这五个类别。而写作指令一共有如下6种(OG P13):
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take.
In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which
the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations
shape your position.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论你在什么程度上同意或者不同意上述观点。在发展和支持你自己观点的过程中,需要考虑使得该陈述可能正确或者可能不正确的情况,并且解释这些考虑是怎样形成你的观点的)
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position
you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances
in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be
advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论你在什么程度上同意或者不同意上述观点。在发展和支持你自己观点的过程中,需要考虑使得该建议有利或者有弊的具体情况,并且解释这些例子是怎样形成你的观点的)
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to
address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to
challenge your position.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论你在什么程度上同意或者不同意上述观点。在发展和支持你自己观点的过程中,请确保提到一个最能够挑战你的论证/例证)
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with
your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In
developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views
presented.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论上述哪一个观点更接近你的观点,并解释你支持你方观点的原因。在发展和支持你自己观点的过程中,你应该提及两种观点)
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论你在什么程度上同意或者不同意上述原因和结论)
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain
your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your
position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the
policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
(写一个作答,在作答中讨论你对于上述政策的看法并且解释你支持你方观点的原因。在发展和支持你自己观点的过程中,你应该考虑实施这个政策可能的后果,并且解释这些后果怎样形成了你的观点)
我们可以看到,无论怎么问,这6种写作指令都要求考生:1有自己的观点并解释论证 2从多种角度(甚至从与你观点相悖的角度)来论证。而这6种写作指令所要求的,实质上就是critical thinking--从多个角度、甚至是违背你观点的角度来论证。换句话来说,当你不仅仅从你的观点出发进行思考,还能考虑到相反观点各个角度的利弊,并且通过道理论证(或者举例论证)进行更深入的阐述,最终通过各方面的权衡才得到你的观点,那么这个观点一定是经过缜密思考、经得起推敲的。而GRE考察的就是这种多方位、多角度的分析能力。
比如这道题(来自ETS官方网站题库第四题):
Scandals are useful because they focus our attention on problems in ways that no
speaker or reformer ever could.
(丑闻是有用的,因为它们会让我们看到?些演说者、改?家?法展?给我们看的东西)
对于这道例题来说,不论你的观点如何,我们都从同意和反对题目观点的两个角度来分析一下:
如果同意:丑闻有用,因为它让我们看到不为大众所知的社会阴暗面,而大众知道后,所制造的舆论影响和压力可能会有助于推动社会某方面的改革。比如三鹿奶粉事件之后,食品安全监管部门就加大了对食品安全的监督力度,这一改革首先对政府部门是一个促进,其次对相关企业也是一个有力的警示和监督,最后对人民的食品安全也会产生非常积极而久远影响。
如果不同意:丑闻没用,因为它往往把大众的注意力集中到一些戏剧性但无用的细节上,成为喜闻乐见的饭后谈资,而没有关注和利用丑闻背后可能会给社会带来益处的方面。它也很有可能给丑闻当事人造成毁灭性的人身伤害。比如克林顿的性丑闻,大家可能更多地把兴趣集中到办公室性丑闻的故事情节/克林顿和莱温斯基的人肉搜索上,并没有过多地关注其背后可能牵扯的办公室性骚扰/政府职能部门监管相关的相关问题和改革。并且大家无止境的网络暴力给当事人(尤其是莱温斯基)造成了毁灭性的打击。
如上,我把这道题从正反两方、每一方都从多角度(对社会、政府部门、人民、当事人)进行了思考分析。这就是我们每一道题需要做的思考。而思考过后,我们再去选择自己善于展开的一方当作自己的观点来进行全文的写作。
怎么写?
从官方给出的评分标准(OG P37),我们可以明确地看到ETS对于一篇文章评价的角度有三:信息(内容),逻辑,语言。
对于信息(内容)的要求又包含position和reasons and/or examples这两个部分,也就是我们的观点和论证。有清晰的观点是形成一篇文章的前提,对于题干中的话题可持同意、反对、中立的态度。论证可以只有道理论证,也可以道理论证加上例证。考虑到GRE写作题库里有很多形而上、距离生活比较远的题目,考生不一定能够举出例子,因此只有道理论证在GRE考试中也是行得通的。
逻辑分为内容逻辑和形式逻辑。内容逻辑即我们的行文结构,而形式结构则是体现出我们行文结构的承上启下的语句。行文结构来讲,我们用五段论来举例:开头段阐述题目、明确观点,三个主体段落,结尾段总结、重申观点。三个主体段落,按照我们刚才在“怎么想”中已经提到的,要从我方和反方观点分别考量,最终得到我们的观点。那么我们建议这三个主体段落可以依次是:1我方观点的分论点及其论证2反方观点及其论证3综合考量后还是得出支持我方观点的分论点及其论证,在观点的分析角度和深度上这一段需要有一个区别于第一段的升华。这样写出的就是一篇思维缜密、经多方考量的议论文了。有了内容逻辑,形式逻辑也就应运而生了,毕竟这些包含不同观点、角度和深度的段落,是需要恰当的词汇连接在一起的。比如该转折时用however,while,unlike,in contrast等等,该总结时用in short, to put it in a nutshell, all in all等等,该体现段落层次时用furthermore,additionally,building upon the above argument等等的词汇短语,就能够让我们的文章的逻辑看上去清晰明了,同时对我们行文时的内容逻辑也是一个很好的督促和梳理。
对于语言来说,前面已经说到,并不是GRE的重点考察对象,因此语言不要盲目追求复杂化,词汇也不是越生僻越好。GRE的写作并不需要用到为GRE考试所背的很多长难词,而是掌握四、六级和托福的差不多7000词就足够了。虽说语言不是重点考察对象,但它应该足以表达我们的逻辑思考,毕竟,对于Issue来说,很多形而上、离生活较远的话题,是需要比较有积累的语言来驾驭的。另外,毕竟考试只有三十分钟,ETS也考虑到短时内对于思考和打字也可能是一个考验,因此少量的表达错误和错字情况是基本不影响分数的。
怎么备考?
ETS官方在他们的网站上公开了题库,这152道题目,就是在考场上所有可能遇到的Issue写作的题目。ETS官方也知道,由于话题涉及的面极广,有些确实是需要知识面的广度和思考的深度作为基础的,而我们每个人接触到的知识面有限,未必可以在短时间内有思路、写文章。因此他们把这一百多道题全都公布出来,就是供考生提前准备用的。这些题目在考场上都是随机拿到的,因此考生在练习时也可以随机选择题目。
如果备考时间充裕,练习的时候可以分思考练习和写作练习两个方面。思考练习就是拿到一道题,正反两方面分别考虑,看看自己能够站在两方立场上思考出多少角度和怎样的深度,也就是我们平常说的brainstorm,头脑风暴。思路都有了,就从中提出自己认为比较好写的分论点来进行写作练习。写作可以先从不限时、一心一意把文章写精、写好,再到逐渐限时。如果备考时间有限,不妨一开始就限时练习,看看自己在三十分钟内思考的限度是多少。不论是哪一种练法,只要勤练习,都可以提高。一般来说,考生一般没有时间在备考时练完所有的题目,那么就可以利用零散的时间,随机拿到一道题去全面思考。这种思考的训练不但对写作思路的拓展有益,万一在考试时真的遇到思考过的题目,对于时间来说也是一个很大的节省。
希望此篇对大家有益,祝大家备考顺利!
GRE Issue写作思路讲解之大城市
例题讲解
To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities.为了了解一个社会/一个群体的重要特点,我们要去研究这个社会的大城市。
大城市=好
例子: 什么social groups?哪个大城市? Chinese social groups = Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong(Canton groups) = Beijing as an example = political center, powerful city = city layout = Chinese respect authority and hierarchy; Hong Kong = communicative: information hub: transportation, human labor force = mobility
大城市=好
道理论证:大城市的研究可以帮助我们更好地了解这个社会人的一些重要特点。WHY?因为人都会从各个地方去到大城市? WHY?因为大城市发展比较好,各项生活services以及机会都比较多。 WHY?因为地理位置比较好或者国家的政策扶植。原因说清楚了,那 结果呢? 所以我们研究大城市,可以更好的了解每个地区的人又特点 .为人都是从不同的地方聚集到大城市的,所以他们会不可避免的带 有属于自己local的特点。所以我们可以很轻易地在大城市实现一个 cross regional / national的研究,而不用travel many miles。.态特点 + 动态融合 . original + dynamic
GRE issue写作优秀实例:政府资助艺术问题
题目:
Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.
正文:
When it comes to government subsides, such questions arise: Do the Arts actually need government funding? Does the national endowment for the arts really threaten the integrity of the arts? The debate on the merits of government funding of the arts is a hot issue. As far as I concerned, Government funding is hazardous to artistic health and integrity.
Before discussion, we must define the integrity of the arts. I think it has two-fold meanings: First, it refers to the diversity of the arts. Second, it means that artists should have the independence and free creativity.
Government support for the arts is inherently problematic. It breeds passivity,undermines the independent creative spirit. It makes artists shift the focus from creativity towards pleasing funding bodies. The importance of individual passion and creativity are undercut by the funding regime. And much more! It raises the question of official art, whether that art be the standard of the public, government officials, or a largely self-chosen art establishment. In the Netherlands, for example, the government guaranteed a market for the works of professional artists. If no one else would buy their work, the government paid them for it. This was commonly referred to as the “Dutch treat”. They had a huge warehouse full of art that wouldn't sell. This assured the survival of artists, but it also assured the creation of a lot of bad art.
Also, The process of official encouragement of some kinds of art and official discouragement of others will have begun to influence artistic directions. It must cause the imbalance of the development of the arts. For example, vast investment in the Beijing opera would hurt other local operas. As a result, some kinds of small operas might become extinct.
Furthermore, limited resources mean decisions have to be made to fund or not to fund.The criteria ultimately include an aesthetic judgment that necessarily select the relative worth of one artistic entity (be it an organization, project or individual) among all participating in competition for the same dollars. Questions arise: What resources should be committed to supporting art that is not popular? Does art deserve to be supported if there are not sufficient patronage for it to survive on its own merits?
What's more, funding agencies take efforts to assure a diverse and objective mix of panelists. But no panel is qualified to evaluate every application. If a representative of some art form have no strong support, there must be an imbalance in arts diversity.What shall we do to ensure the diversity of the arts? There is no easy answer to this.The only obvious solution is to have sufficient public funding available to ensure the survival of all the arts in a community so that the hard decisions don't have to be made.Private patronage on the whole is a far better protection for diversity and independence than any governmental program can be. Without government direction and intervention, the arts can avoid being byproducts of government and freely create what artists want to express.Private patronage has its randomicity; therefore any art form has equal chance to be funded. Meanwhile, through free competition excellent artists have the freest space to display their creativity.
In sum, despite opposing views, I believe that the arts are an important area in our society, which should be given freedom. Without the help of the government, we could be doing some useful things to our nation's creative future.
GRE写作之Issue OG学习心得
篇2:GRE写作之评分须知
GRE写作:评分须知
(1) complexity:事物的两面性(同一事物有优点就有缺点,相比较的事物有各自的优缺点),从多角度分析事物(分析不同领域中,不同情况下)。论点一边倒的文章论述得再好也只能得5分。
(2) insightful position:在有全面深刻理解的基础上,观点最好新颖独到(对ets来说),但必须保证能自圆其说。
(3) conveys meaning skillfully:可用于论证的一切技巧(估计老美自己用起来也得费点心思)。比如文章的行文方向,起承转合不用明显的标志词(first, second, however, on the other hand, the second example illustrating my point),而是依靠论述的内在脉络(只可意会不可言传)自然而然的引到下一块内容。

(4) compelling reasons(reason就已经够令人头疼的了,有加了个compelling):这是最重要的一个得分点。
(5) persuasive examples:用来支持reason的,使抽象的reason更具体,更易被读者理解,从而产生共鸣,或使其更可信,更有说服力。可用的例子有自己的经历,引言。
(6) well-focused:简单说就是不跑题。中心论点明确,全文不跑题;各段主题句明确,围绕主题句论述。
(7) well-organized:文章采用的论述结构,分几个部分论述,每部分有几段,各部分、各段间的关系是什么。
(8) connecting ideas logically:using transitional phrases起承转合词,过渡句,或有此种作用的句子,总之起到help organize the ideas and move the argument forward。
(9) 跟着感觉走没错。
(10) 不要罗嗦,表达简洁。但如果以上几点做得好,这缺点可以忽略不计。
(11) 基本上挺难,但不影响大局,为避免重复大胆的用你想用的词,阅卷人能理解。
(12) sentence variety:最好长短句结合,ets藐视总用短句的人:Since most of the sentences are short and choppy, the ideas they try to communicate are also choppy.
(13) 还有语法错误等等,小毛病,先把上面的问题解决好在理它吧。
其他问题:
.没有十分地把握,不要乱下定义,严重的损害议论文严谨的文风。
.ets讨厌重复:不论是内容上还是形式上,总结也要做到避免重复有层次,先表面后深刻,先分段后整体。
GRE写作满分范文赏析
Six months ago the region of Forestville increased the speed limit for vehicles traveling on the region's highways by ten miles per hour. Since that change took effect, the number of automobile accidents in that region has increased by 15 percent. But the speed limit in Elmsford, a region neighboring Forestville, remained unchanged, and automobile accidents declined slightly during the same six-month period. Therefore, if the citizens of Forestville want to reduce the number of automobile accidents on the region's highways, they should campaign to reduce Forestville's speed limit to what it was before the increase.
When we compare two things, we like to put them on the same background. same condition.
For the fact given above, in the same time, foundmentally, the two region have the same traffic condition, except, the speedlimit is improved in one, and the other keep the same. So we can get the result that the reason of the difference is that the improved speed limit. And also the change will give some other inconvinent to the people there. For example, the people will not familiar with the change, have some problem in handle the speed.
So, what I think is that the citizen should show the government the statistic number of the difference. Argue with them. Comments:
This response is fundamentally deficient as a critique for two reasons:
-- although the writer has relied heavily on the language of the topic, it is clear that the writer has no real control of language, and -- there is little or no evidence of the writer's ability to develop an organized response.

Six months ago the region of Forestville increased the speed limit for vehicles traveling on the region's highways by ten miles per hour. Since that change took effect, the number of automobile accidents in that region has increased by 15 percent. But the speed limit in Elmsford, a region neighboring Forestville, remained unchanged, and automobile accidents declined slightly during the same six-month period. Therefore, if the citizens of Forestville want to reduce the number of automobile accidents on the region's highways, they should campaign to reduce Forestville's speed limit to what it was before the increase.
The argument gives statistics of increases in automobile accidents since the speed limit increased six months ago on the highways of Forestville. The argument also gives a statement of how the neighboring region of Forestville, did not increase or decrease the speed limit. It remained unchanged and automobile accidents declined slightly during the same six-month period. The argument may appeal to those who have been effected by the increase in accidents, but it does not give an emotional appeal overall. We are relying on the authors statistics but we don't know where they came from and if they are reliable. The argument needs more examples and illustrations to get his point across to more people. It is suggested that the citizens of Forestville campaign to reduce Forestville's speed limit to what it was before the increase, but it is usually hard to start a campaign. One person needs to take action. If the author is a citizen of Forestville, maybe he should take the initiative. Comments:
This seriously flawed critique presents only one idea relevant to an analysis of the argument: “The argument needs more examples and illustrations to get his point across to more people.” Everything else in the essay is either summarizing the argument, speculating, or offering advice. The result is a response that is clearly on topic but that provides no analysis of the line of reasoning in the argument.
In addition to the lack of analysis, the writing is weak. The organization is loose, although not illogical, and intended meaning is sometimes unclear (e.g., “but it does not give an emotional appeal overall.”). For these reasons, the response deserves a score of 2 according to the scoring guide.
篇3:gre写作之作文怎么改呢
gre写作之作文怎么改
1、积累足够多的形容词,辨析他们之间的不同,vocabulary.com是个很棒的网站。里面有近义词的辨析。比如significant, vital, crucial, critical, indispensable都是重要,那具体有什么区别呢?
2、不要放过英语场景,那是学习形容词准确意思的非常好的机会。比如某期美国好声音里shakira在形容一个歌手声音的时候用的词是otherworldly,那么因为我们实际的听到了那个声音,所有会真正的理解在老外眼里什么声音是“空灵的”。
3、在写作过程中觉得有个词不好,又没有积累的情况下,可以找相关的可能出现这个词的英语场景。比如我写了a good job, 但是不知道还能用什么词来替代good, 那我认为在wikipedia上搜索“the pursuit of happiness”《当幸福来敲门》应该会找到答案。
gre作文修改的过程就是一个提高的过程,绝对不能写完了不改就扔在一边,那样只能停留在原来的水平。推荐大家先不限时写几篇,写完一篇就立刻打印出来逐字逐句修改,把过于简单的词和句子一一替换,注意别用太难的词和没把握的词,能用到6级词汇就差不多了,如果想要添加一下较难的词汇建议大家用词典将相应单词查找出来,用进文章里,并且将这个词的含义,词性,用法以及搭配都摘抄到笔记本上。久而久之,你便会形成自己的单词库,还能在无意识间扩大词汇量。
gre作文修改还需要做的一点就是找到自己认为漂亮实用的句式,往自己的gre独立写作里套。尤其开头段,结尾段以及中间各段的衔接,找到了漂亮的句式就从此永远用这个不要再改了,这就是自己独家的写作模板。
GRE作文高分句式参考
GRE常用作文例子借鉴,下面是常见的写作的三个部分,开头、正文以及结尾部分,分别有相应的句型介绍,希望可以供大家参考。

48天GRE写作备考规划
大家都是为了梦想才来考G,于是坚持是最要紧的!我想,不要有依赖心理,朋友都是好人,家人也会帮你,但是要想成功什么的只能靠你自己。心里想着不允许自己给自己找借口就对了。最后就是努力的目标了,如果你不是一个超级坚强而有毅力的人(也许所谓牛人就是指这些人),那么对你而言,法乎其上仅得其中,每天的计划都要多订一些,比如订40个提纲也许你只列得到10个但是订10个你恐怕就只有完成8个了,一定要告诉自己我需要十二万分的努力,即使世上有很多幸运儿,幸运也只是一时的,永远幸运的人绝对是一直努力的人。这样去朝每天的目标奋斗直到解脱为止。
我ARGUMENT写了有三十几篇吧,不算重写的话,不过喜剧的是考的I是我写过的,A却是没有写过的,只是认真看了几遍总结了一些提纲而已。不过,幸运的是,基本上每篇写了的ISSUE我都有认真的修改过很多遍,后来冲刺列提纲的时候还进行了复习,现在考试居然考到了写过的题,虽然我还是完全重新写的,但自己感觉对这个题的认识已经是另一种境界了。我以前自己写文是从来都不注意改的,后来经过这些修改和总结真的是进步了很多,看看最早写的文我自己都想大笑怎么写成这种的。当然很多情况是考不到你写过的,我考试前也为这个很慌,后来重看了imong特训里面的总是新题那一节,就觉得无所谓了。而且,我想如果你考到了没写过的没写好,绝对比考到了你写过却还是没有写好的心情好受的。所以写一篇一定要写好,改好复习,这是为了不让自己遗憾。你不知道机会会不会来但是你要保证如果它来你是准备好了的。这是通过准备AW我学到的东西。当然看见是你写过的也不要紧张,按总是新题的想法走,不要想要写成和原来一样,抱定一个决心就是一定要写出我自己最深刻的认识就可以了。其他的如语言啊,到你考试的时候已经是改变不了的事了,只有拿不准的坚决不用,实在不行保持用的最少。
我想每个经历了AW的人都会有很多的经验啊,总结啊的,考过的同学大家都会介绍很多很好的经验,只要你认真找认真看,就会有很大的收获。推荐一个大牛silentwings的blog,里面有很多好东西尤其是语法和句子的练习。真的很好,特别适合时间比较充裕(比如还有一个月左右)并且在写一段时间作文后发现自己的语法句法等等糟糕得不行而郁闷万分的同学。还有就是苏明明的写作综述那一系列的都很好。关于作文的资料可以说是浩如烟海了,要把它看完是相当艰巨的。推荐一个方法,在看的初期把觉得有用的东西自己做个索引,我是因为我的explore收藏夹是空的就利用了那个。先看看标题啊什么的,把你觉得好的网站和网页先飞快的浏览一遍,几十秒钟就可以看一个了,然后自己另外给那个网页取个名字收藏起来,这样在后来需要的时候可以节约很多时间。
我的目标一直都是四分,最高的梦想是4。5,最初定的计划是把A和I的提纲全列完……后来可想而知的是全盘失败……这个就不提了……不过我把ARGUMENT的提纲还是有过过的。我开始过得很慢,一般看十篇就是三、四个小时了。一直到今天早上还有四十篇没有看,才开始发慌。但是我还是镇定的把高频的中文分析全部再看了一次然后才再看的那些没有看过的,这时候的速度简直是行云流水啊,是根本连单词都不看了只看中文的提纲分析。到早上10:11分才全部搞定。汗死了…其实这样也不失为一个办法,大家可以在初期试用,然后你以后写文的时候很多单词就不用再查了,因为你对全文的大意是有印象的,我分析了ARGUMENT的题库发现很多单词其实并不会阻碍你的理解和写作的,主要是你开始不知道全篇的中文大意所以才会慌乱。看过中文提纲及分析以后,写文时就相对更不容易发慌,很多单词有时都可以猜出来。
最后实现了从英语文盲到半文盲的转变……第一次写文我是限了时间的,I写了三百多字A写了接近三百吧,当时巨傻,对AW是没有什么概念的,我都不知道有北美范文这本书的存在,后来是在教室遇见一个也考这个的同学热心的告诉我可以看北美……然后我决心写一篇就对到北美改一篇直到我也写成那种为止…坚持了五天以后…我到gter上发了第一篇文。其实当时是没有指望有人给我改的,虽然之前给别人改过,不过那是很久前的事情了,而且我又写的很烂。结果当天一位叫hp314的G友就帮我改了,从中学到了很多东西,可以说是打破了某种错误观念吧,认识到很多不足。感动ing~~~
到了三月中旬,发现还有官方范文的存在,第一次看了官方以后我郁闷非常,感觉是和北美完全就不是一回事情嘛!郁闷之中发现了imong关于的ARGUMENT的几篇文,看这个系列,我是很仔细的,起码看了一周多,每篇基本都看了四遍以上,在看完了这些以后我遇见了瓶颈,持续时间之长简直无法形容……不过当时还是多坚强的,心想还早噻,不用紧张,就一直无所谓的继续写文。当时字数达到了前所未有的低谷啊,我记得最少的一篇A写了200词左右……到了四月了我开始着急,觉得作文没有提高啊什么的,后来就一直研究官方范文,直到有一天再看了一遍imong的特训,然后想原来是这样的啊。再继续研究官方,到考前六天的时候完全的限时成功。自己感受到的是,官方范文绝对是重要的东西,要好好去琢磨,不论看了多少大牛的总结,没有自己研究是感受不来别人感受到的东西的,盲目的模仿只有邯郸学步。无论多么痛苦了还是要坚持自己去找答案,别人的东西无论怎么样都是引导性的作用,因为没人可以代替你思考。总的来说四月我是很颓废的,即使是以前帮了我很多的东西都不想再去看。跑去堕落的整msn.space和Q-ZONE啊什么的,这个其实是很不对的,对我是自身意志力的原因,比照以前我的毅力已经是突破极限了,但是大家能够不要酱紫还是千万不要啊。如果万一成了我这种,那也一定不要放弃,一直坚持到最后,不停的鼓励自己,到无能为力。
最后说下突击吧,我ISSUE突击的方式是提纲还是分类列。只是只列每类的高频就是了。ARGUMENT我基本没有突击还是像以前一样慢慢在看,还好没抽到诡异的题。考前几天的时候,我本来想放弃了,黄瓜帮我改的文起到了醍醐灌顶的作用,突然就振作起来了,写了作文,开始奋力列提纲,告诉自己不要放弃!后来她也一直鼓励我,很温暖很感动! 昨天的时候,突然觉得像是永远也走不到头了样的郁闷,但是小竹子给我说简单,还鼓励了我,今天带着信心和平常心去考试,感觉真的很好!然后是打字我的经验是,我平时是用了个极其恶劣的键盘在打,就是半天敲不动一个字那种,而且经常你按了他还是不反应……结果今天去写文打了好多字出来绝对比平时多多了……两篇写完居然都有时间检查!I还留了五分钟。body写了四段,有两段超级长。I和A平均应该可以到四分吧,我很满足。
总的来说,物品从这个考试中学会了很多事,也想了很多事,以前做事经常就凭直觉啊什么什么的,很多东西没有去想它,因为也用不着。也看了很多书,都是那种被动的接受的很少去挑错啊什么的,现在我随便看什么都会从正反两面去看啊,去想它逻辑何在啊什么的,批判的接受一些东西。突然之间打破了以为会永远套在身上的枷锁,再也不像应试教育时一样的茫茫然,又痛苦着觉得到处受压迫。所以,我觉GRE作文考试真的很不错,即使我没有得什么高分,我也觉得钱花得值得。
篇4:GRE出国考试写作之GRE出国考试作文
GRE出国考试写作之GRE出国考试作文范例
The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of possible harmful effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near the sites. A total of five sites and 300 people were examined. The study revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation between the proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes, there was otherwise no correlation between the size of the garbage sites and peoples health. Therefore, the council is pleased to announce that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard. We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites.
Sample Essay
In this argument, the council comes to the conclusion that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard and that therefore, there is no need to restrict the size of the garbage sites or the number of homes built near the site. To support this conclusion, the council cites a study of five garbage sites and three hundred people that showed only a small correlation between the closeness of the homes to the sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes among those people living there. Additionally, the council came to this conclusion despite the fact that people living near the largest such site had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes. This argument suffers from several critical weaknesses in logic and information presented.
篇5:GRE作文之错误写作思路
GRE作文之错误写作思路
论述流于表面不够深入
中国考生经历了中考高考等考试,习惯了八股文式的作文写作方式,容易泛泛而谈,常缺少对题目本身的复杂性理解。大家在审题时往往容易流于表面,只根据材料给出的内容做一些浅显表层的论述,而很少发现题目的本质并从更深层次展开讨论。想要取得作文高分,考生就应注意作文题目的隐含意义,避开简单的非对即错的思想,对题目进行辩证地分析与思考,从多维度进行解读,从而写出更有深度的文章。
老掉牙的案例还在用
不少同学在GRE写作中阐述一个观点时,缺乏充分的、确切的例证,用来用去都是一些家喻户晓、乏善可陈的例子,例如最典型的比尔盖茨和爱迪生,而有些同学甚至会出现例子本身和观点关联甚微,牵强附会的情况,这样的作文自然会让考官看起来味同爵蜡,不知所云,分数被扣在所难免。其实这个问题与考生的知识面狭窄、视野不够开阔、思维不够跳跃等等都有很大的关系。小编建议大家平时要多注意对写作素材的积累,比如看每日经济学人,扩大自己的知识面。
写作速度太慢没写完
考生平时缺少打字练习或者思维活动太慢,导致写作速度一直提不上去,首先表现在字数不够上,其次字数不够也直接导致了内容的不充分,自己的思想无法完全展开。GRE写作一般分为5段,开头结尾及中间3段,一篇好的GRE作文一般字数在450-600字,字数多虽然不能说一定是篇佳作,但最起码会让你的内容略显丰富。
开头结尾缺乏吸引力
中国古时形容一篇佳作通常用凤头豹尾,形容其精彩,GRE作文高分的关键也切不可忽视开头和结尾,在时间匆忙的情况下,这两段直接影响了考官对你的第一印象,第一段点明自己的观点和立场,结尾总结,全篇结构完整,条理清晰,再加之充分的例证,是获得高分的关键。开头如果无法吸引考官,结尾又写得草草了事,这样的文章想必很难给人留下好印象。
GRE写作高分范文:如何避免偏激
GRE作文题目:
Most people often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms: we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.
人们总是在寻找相同点,即使是在非常不同的事物间也不例外,甚至有时候这样做是无用乃至有害的。实际上,我们应该具体问题具体分析;我们应该尽量避免比较的倾向。
GRE写作正文:
In the age of accelerating changes, the eagerness to understand things in an effective and equally efficient way is more than ever. Although all kinds of complex techniques, skills and equipments helpful for understanding and studying the objects are easily accessible to people, the basic strategies stay the same as before: one is starting from similarities and the other from distinction. From my personal point of view, only by using the two in proper proportion and order can one achieve his/her goal to understand a thing.
Looking for similarities is a proper starting point. When we first meet something new,we need to clarify its basic attributes, finding similarites with other familiar things and classify it according to those attributes. Classification according to similaties is of great assistance to provide us with an outline, basic knowledge which we can base further investigation upon. Although things in contemporary age represent themselves in various forms and styles, similarities exist in any pair as long as certain perspective can be found. For instance, Bookcase and window are so different that at first glance, one
may not be able to find the similarities, or even such an effort seems to be meaningless. Yet, they are both part of a house, something that must be taken into consideration when decorating or refurnishing the house. Such a comparison would be helpful for us to realize that “buy” and “sell” are two basic operation we can have upon window even though we have no idea what window is made of, how it is produced or what its function is.What’s more, looking for similarities not only refer to the object itself, but the relationship with others. Similar relationships helps people understand things in groups or pairs using the strategy: analogy. Analogy is especially useful when the charactertistics of a relationship rather than the objects themselves are the focus of understanding and when similar relationships are known and objects unknown. For example, if told that the relationship between window and ASVE is similar to that between book and read, one can safely guess that ASVE is the operation people can take on window although ASVE stays an unknown action.
Definitely, mere similarity usually exclude the distinctive characteristics of a thing. We need to investigate its own terms for deeper understanding. Within the rough outline sketched by similarity, a more detailed and well-articulated picture can be drawn by grasping own terms of a thing. Still take window as an example. From careful observation, we know that it is transparent, it consists of different chemical materials, it performs the function as to protect privacy, to preserve desirable temperature indoor, and sometimes to prevent rains and snows from going inside. Deeper and further understanding of window can only be gained when we take its own terms besides those it shares with bookcase into consideration.
In the newly development software engineering model named Object-oriented model,the strategy “similarity first and differences later” functions as the core and focus of the whole model. Objects sharing common points are put into same “classes” and common points are processed together, later they are defined, discussed and processed respectively according to their own characteristics. This method greatly reduces the repetive time and energy spent over and over again on similar, if not utterly same, terms. Translated into daily life, starting from similarites for a quick outline and transferring to grasp distinctive characteristics for deeper understanding isthe approach we should always bear in mind when hoping to understand a thing with effectiveness and efficiency.
GRE写作高分范文:法律的灵活性
Laws should not be stationary and fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times, and places.
法律不应该是僵化或固定的,而应该根据不同的环境、时期和地点而足够灵活。
GRE写作范文:
Should laws be stable and fixed or be flexible in taking consideration of various factors such as circumstances, times and places? The speaker concludes that instead of being stationary, laws should be constantly changing. The speaker’s claim have merits in declaring that law should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances since adaptation to changing social environment is how the law properly guard the function of social engine and the general welfare of people as a whole. But to some extent, we would not go too much in neglecting to importance of the stability of laws because they are the principles we adhere to in our daily life, if changed too abruptly and constantly, will result in egregious chaos and confusion.
Keeping stability, consistency of laws is indispensable in helping people to make prediction of the consequence of their behaviors and figure out the legal obligation and rights exerted upon them by the legal system. In the personal level, consistency of laws defines the properness and legality of their doings and thus endows people with sense of security and good citizenship. If as the speaker claimed that laws should never be stationary or fixed, people face the threat of being constantly threw into turbid mud of bewilderment and insecurity and finally lose their sight in how to adapt to sudden alternation of in this aspect or another.
Another example that aptly illustrates this is in the field of business. As we know, the ultimate goal of a business is to maximize its profit of shareholders within the framework of laws to define that a enterprises function within this framework, obey its obligation and hamper no interest of the general welfare of the society. In order for a enterprises to thrive, it must carefully study the relevant business laws, including anti-dumping law and torts, etc.Given the choice, most leaders are unwilling to see the prospect that laws are constantly changing since it takes time and effort to build a well-defined frames within companies and overthrow established practice and code would demand another round of revising and reevaluation....

篇6:新GRE写作之个人责任
题目:
The concept of ’individual responsibility’ is a necessary fiction. Although societies musthold individuals accountable for their own actions, people’s behavior is largely determined byforces not of their own making.
个人责任的概念是一种很必要的虚构。尽管社会必须让个人对他们自己的.行为负责,但是人们的行为很大程度上不是自己能够左右的。
正文:
Admittedly it is true that forces play a vital role in determining people’s behavior, but oneshould not go too far to deny the equal importance of individual responsibility. In many cases, itis individual responsibility that is at stake, far over the use of forces.
In the first place, forces are not omnipotent and there are many occasions on which forcesfail to take effect and therefore must resort to individual responsibility to regulate people’sbehavior. Take marital infidelity for example. Undoubtedly, this behavior is immoral and shouldbe condemned because it severely harms the stability of family and thus impacts negativeeffects on the development of children. However,hardly can the use of compulsory forces suchas laws take effect in preventing the occurrence of this disloyal behavior. The reason forimpotency of forces on this occasion is that any attempt to prevent marital infidelity has agreat possibility to unduly interfere with individual affairs and seriously violate individualfreedom.Therefore, the society has no choice but to turn to individual responsibility for maritalloyalty and stability of family.
Also there are many cases where only combined with the use of individual responsibility canforces exert their power to the utmost. Laws can require corporations to be responsible fortheir consumers and thus can partly ensure the legitimate rights of consumers, but whetherconsumers can enjoy the best products or services primarily depends on the socialresponsibility of those corporations rather than the use of laws; likewise, laws require individualsto comply with public morality and even set up some regulations to punish behaviors ofviolating public morality, but without individuals’ identification with these laws and thus theshape of individual responsibility, can hardly these compulsory measures work well. This is whythe state of public morality is still very bad in many developing countries although they haveset up numerous regulations and laws to punish violation of public morality.
Last but not the least, even under the circumstances where forces play a dominant role inregulating the behavior of people, the society must try its best to cultivate individualresponsibility to substitute for the use of forces more or less, because forces are alwaysassociated with high social cost and negative effects on the society. If all corporations canfollow laws and behave accountable for their consumers, all citizens can act in the interests ofnation, all political figures can work for the public benefit automatically, there would be nonecessity to maintain such a large-scale compulsory forces―police, army, prison, judge and soon--in the society and as a result, all the social members will greatly benefit from thereduction in social cost.
In conclusion, the above analysis is not intended to deny the role of forces indetermining people’s behavior, but to point out that individual responsibility is irreplaceable toensure the stability and development of any society. Only combined with the use of individualresponsibility can the society as a whole will benefit most.
