GRE写作:分类解析

篇1:GRE写作:分类解析

准备时,最重要的一个步骤在于熟悉题库和认真准备提纲。对于立论文(Issue)而言,自己动手拟一份完整的提纲是很有必要的,当然可以参考各种资料,但必须勤动脑,想一想提纲的逻辑连续性。实际上,有偏向性、但又不要绝对化的思路才是最易上手的。

对于驳论文(Argument)而言,熟悉题库更为重要。很多人觉得一个题目拿过来随便就能挑出五六个错误。正常情况下是这样的,但的确有些难题若不事先好好准备,五分钟之内能找出两个错误就不错了。在第一次考试时,我正是因为在准备时放掉了一道我只找出两个错误的题目,而在正式考试时恰恰碰到了这道题目,所以写得很不好。

虽然逻辑作文满分只有6分,可千万别小看了它的重要性。从某种程度上来说,它是GRE作文的精华——因为GRE考试的就是逻辑,用英语写两篇作文只是形式而已,主要目的就是考察你的逻辑分析水平。

写驳论文有很多小窍门,如需要锻炼出区别“事实”和“观点”的能力,不论题目中所给的事实有多夸张都需认为它是对的,不能攻击,只能攻击观点中的逻辑漏洞;凡是跟统计数字、统计方法有关的逻辑错误都尽量不要攻击,最多只能一笔带过等等。

篇2:GRE写作:分类解析

Hospital statistics regarding people who go to the emergency room after roller-skating accidents indicate the need for more protective equipment.  Within this group of people, 75 percent of those who had

accidents in streets or parking lots were not wearing any protective clothing (helmets, knee pads, etc.) or any light-reflecting material (clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.).  Clearly, these statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality protective gear and reflective equipment, roller skaters will greatly reduce their risk of being severely injured in an accident.

The notion that protective gear reduces the injuries suffered in accidents seems at first glance to be an obvious conclusion.  After all, it is the intent of these products to either provent accidents from occuring  in the first place or to reduce the injuries suffered by the wearer should an accident occur.  However, the conclusion that investing in high quality protective gear greatly reduces the risk of being severely injured in an accident may mask other (and potentially more significant) causes of injuries and may inspire people to over invest financially and psychologically in protective gear.

First of all, as mentioned in the argument, there are two distinct kinds of gear - preventative gear (such as light reflecting material) and protective gear (such as helmets).  Preventative gear is intended to warn others, presumably for the most part motorists, of the presence of the roller skater.  It works only if the “other” is a responsible and caring individual who will afford the skater the necessary space and attention.  Protective gear is intended to reduce the effect of any accident, whether it is caused by an other, the skater or some force of nature.  Protective gear does little, if anything, to prevent accidents but is presumed to reduce the injuries that occur in an accident.  The statistics on injuries suffered by skaters would be more interesting if the skaters were grouped into those wearing no gear at all, those wearing protective gear only, those wearing preventative gear only and those wearing both.  These statistics could provide skaters with a clearer understanding of which kinds of gear are more beneficial.

The argument above is weakened by the fact that it does not take into account the inherent differences between skaters who wear gear and those who do not.  If is at least likely that those who wear gear may be generally more responsible and/or safety conscious individuals.  The skaters who wear gear may be less likely to cause accidents through careless or dangerous behavior.  It may, in fact, be their natural caution and repsonsibility that keeps them out of the emergency room rather than the gear itself.  Also, the statistic above is based entirely on those who are skating in streets and parking lots which are relatively dangerous places to skate in the first place.  People who are generally more safety conscious (and therefore more likely to wear gear) may choose to skate in safer areas such as parks or back yards.

The statistic also goes not differentiate between severity of injuries.  The conclusion that safety gear prevents severe injuries suggests that it is presumed that people come to the emergency room only with severe injuries.  This is certainly not the case.  Also, given that skating is a recreational activity that may be primarily engaged in during evenings and weekends (when doctors' offices are closed), skater with less severe injuries may be especially likely to come to the emergency room for treatment.

Finally, there is absolutely no evidence provided that high quality (and presumably more expensive) gear is any more beneficial than other kinds of gear.  For example, a simple white t-shirt may provide the same preventative benefit as a higher quality, more expensive, shirt designed only for skating.  Before skaters are encouraged to invest heavily in gear, a more complete understanding of the benefit provided by individual pieces of gear would be helpful.

The argument for safety gear based on emergency room statistics could provide important information and potentially saves lives.  Before conclusions about the amount and kinds of investments that should be made in gear are reached, however, a more complete understanding of the benefits are needed.  After all, a false confidence in ineffective gear could be just as dangerous as no gear at all.

Commentary

This outstanding response demonstrates the writer's insightful analytical skills.  The introduction, which notes that adopting the topic's fallacious reasoning could “.??爄nspire people to over invest financially and psychologically in protective gear,” is followed by a comprehensive examination of each of the argument's root flaws.  Specifically, the writer exposes several points that undermine the argument:

-- that preventive and protective gear are not the same

-- that skaters who wear gear may be less prone to accidents because    they are, by nature, more responsible and cautious

-- that the statistics do not differentiate by the severity of the    injuries

-- that gear may not need to be high-quality to be beneficial

The discussion is smoothly and logically organized, and each point is thoroughly and cogently developed.  In addition, the writing is succinct, economical, and generally error-free.  Sentences are varied and complex, and diction is expressive and precise.

In sum, this response exemplifies the very top of the 6 range described in the scoring guide.  If the writer had been less eloquent or provided fewer reasons to refute the argument, the paper could still have received a 6.

篇3:GRE写作:分类解析

Hospital statistics regarding people who go to the emergency room after roller-skating accidents indicate the need for more protective equipment.  Within this group of people, 75 percent of those who had accidents in streets or parking lots were not wearing any protective clothing (helmets, knee pads, etc.) or any light-reflecting material (clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.).  Clearly, these statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality protective gear and reflective equipment, roller skaters will greatly reduce their risk of being severely injured in an accident.

The argument presented is limited but useful.  It indicates a possible relationship between a high percentage of accidents and a lack of protective equipment.  The statistics cited compel a further investigation of the usefulness of protective gear in preventing or mitigating roller-skating related injuries.  However, the conclusion that protective gear and reflective equipment would “greatly reduce.risk of being severely injured” is premature.  Data is lacking with reference to the total population of skaters and the relative levels of experience, skill and physical coordination of that population.  It is entirely possible that further research would indicate that most serious injury is averted by the skater's ability to react quickly and skillfully in emergency situations.

Another area of investigation necessary before conclusions can be reached is identification of the types of injuries that occur and the various causes of those injuries.  The article fails to identify the most prevalent types of roller-skating related injuries.  It also fails to correlate the absence of protective gear and reflective equipment to those injuries.  For example, if the majority of injuries are skin abrasions and closed-head injuries, then a case can be made for the usefulness of protective clothing mentioned.  Likewise, if injuries are caused by collision with vehicles (e.g. bicycles, cars) or pedestrians, then light-reflective equipment might mitigate the occurences.  However, if the primary types of injuries are soft-tissue injuries such as torn ligaments and muscles, back injuries and the like, then a greater case could be made for training and experience as preventative measures.

Commentary

This strong response gets right to the work of critiquing the argument, observing that it “indicates a possible relationship” but that its conclusion “is premature.”  It raises three central questions that, if answered, might undermine the soundness of the argument:

-- What are the characteristics of the total population of skaters? -- What is the usefulness of protective or reflective gear in    preventing or mitigating rollerskating-related injuries? -- What are the types of injuries sustained and their causes?

The writer develops each of these questions by considering possible answers that would either strengthen or weaken the argument.  The paper does not analyze the argument as insightfully or develop the critique as fully as required for a 6 paper, but the clear organization, strong control of language, and substantial degree of development warrant more than a score of 4.

篇4:GRE写作:具体分类

GRE写作:具体分类

1. 只分了大类,可操作性差。比如XDF的分类,总共就只有8个,但是光写8篇作文又肯定是不够的。这就需要我们每一类下面还要根据写法和内容而具体分成各种小类,以达到一个小分类只写一篇的目的。笔者在手头资料的基础上,总结出涵盖了ISSUE全部题库的23个小类。在复习的时候,大家最少只要写20-23篇作文就可以完成ISSUE作文题库全覆盖的复习任务了,既放心又省力。

2. 分类中的题目描述过于啰嗦,不便于一眼看出题目的联系。市面上GRE的复习材料已经这么多,在复习的时候我们应该更多地做减法。比如作文这里,既然在网上就能很方便地找到翻译好的题库,又何苦在每个分类里把双语题目都打进去?但是只放题目,不放题号的话,又容易漏题出错,更不利于复习。笔者的解决方案,是在大类上体现出这一类的共性,题号后面则用中文简练地总结这一道题目的特性。

3. 分类不完整,或者题号有错误。这是最致命的错误。我最初在练习的时候,就随便选了一个题库,开始准备提纲。结果准备到一半,忽然发现分类题库里有很重要的几道高频没包括进来,又有几道题由于题号错误而分错了类。一怒之下,笔者对着ETS官网上的作文题库编号一道一道地把手里的作文题号和题目对清楚。这绝对是市面上最完整的ISSUE作文分类,没有之一!

“It is unfortunate that today's educators place so much emphasis on finding out what students want to include in the curriculum and then giving it to them.  It is the educators' duty to determine the curriculum and the students' duty to study what is presented to them.”

In today's society, there is too much emphasis placed on students desires rather than their needs.  The students of today should have to study what is presented to them, rather than what is desired by them.  Students are searching for the easy way out, and educators' are supplying them with that.  Students should not only be presented with mandatory curriculum, but the educators should strive to insure that each individual student truly gains from their education, rather than just breezing through it.

It is vital to the continued success and expansion of the United States, that the young people be challenged in their curriculum and be encouraged to succeed in all that they do.  The educators should determine a more strenuous curriculum, and enforce it at an earlier age.  Thus, the young people of today will expect to be challenged, rather than avoiding it.  Students have the easy way out, and they are not truly giving all that they can.  There is so much potential that is just waiting to flourish, but it is the educators' reponsibility to tap into that potential.

In conclusion, it is the educators responsibility to enforce curriculum and than raquesting it.  Students should be challenged and expect curriculum that will eventually lead them to a path of success.

COMMENTARY

This brief essay is flawed by its generalities, repetition, and limited development.  The central thesis -- that it is the burden of educators to teach what they believe is necessary and that our educational system should not allow students to “breeze through” the educational system -- is not adequately supported.  The middle of the essay merely repeats much of what was said in the introduction.  The writer discusses the concepts of students' potential and educators' responsibilities in only the most general terms.

The two-sentence conclusion simply repeats earlier discussion and does not sufficiently tie together and comment upon the earlier discussion.  To earn a score of 4, this essay would need to provide specific reasons and examples that more adequately develop its main points.

Also, the phrasing is often vague (“giving all that they can” and “path of success”), and the syntax is at times poorly controlled (“young people of today will expect to be challenged, rather than avoiding it.”)  Still, the problems are not severe or frequent.  For all of these reasons, this essay received a 3.

“It is unfortunate that today's educators place so much emphasis on finding out what students want to include in the curriculum and then giving it to them.  It is the educators' duty to determine the curriculum and the students' duty to study what is presented to them.”

The statement above conceals intesting connotations far above curriculum development.  Issues of classroom control and development of scholarly talents are at stake, not simply a debate over which books are acceptable or over revisionist histories.

The statement itself is a bit misleading in that in my experience, student control over curriculum hardly existed.  Each year, there were certain course offerings made available, and students were to choose from those offerings, of course bearing in mind requirements for graduation set forth by the administration.  On a classroom level, the immediate, initial material may have  been somewhat directed by the students, but this was a part of the process allowed by the teacher/professor in order to gain the interest and attention of the students.  However, too much of any one thing becomes problematic; letting students set the curriculum, as with letting students choose and design their own major in college, serves ultimately to dilute the quality of the educational experience unless a single advisor can devote significant amounts of time to the individual student.  This amount of time, or even  the expense to the student of this individual attention, seem to indicate that resources would be better allocated elsewhere.

Of course, any school in which the students decide “what goes” is bound to have problems controlling students.  Once the educators, be they administrators or teachers, are under the control of students, even a democratic situation would be like holding royalty acountable to the mob. Presently, students hear for hours that they should not forget to use a condom in the heat of the moment, and educators think the message gets through,  while half the kids can't even remember to bring a pencil to class.   Students go to school not to simply learn the Pythagorean theorem, but to learn direction and receive guidance. This cannot occur when students are  in charge, and standards, already hard to find in America's contemporary public schools,  will become unenforceable.  If students dictate and administrators do, students will never learn academic responsibility, and if they can't be held accountable for homework, what other responsibilities will they avoid when they get older?

But in another sense, teachers and students do exist in a partnership of sorts.  Teachers are there to satisfy the needs of the student, and the student, while perhaps not being the most experienced/ knowledgeable person  on what his/her needs actually are (versus wants), at least should be afforded some say.   In addition, we must remember what the purpose of education is, and that there are different levels of education.

In high school, the focus is not so much on learning actual material.  The focus is on developing study habits, and on social interaction.  The best secondary schools promote an environment in which individual creativity and pacing can be developed, where students are taught to thinkon their own, and learn to debate and argue in a scholarly way, through writing and other formal methods of discourse.  Group collaboration and interpersonal skills are developed and honed.  The actual details of what is studied and tested is of less importance.  Whether a student reads Maya Angelou, or Yeats, or Euripides essentially is beside the point as long as a student's mind is cultivated, not just their ability to record and recite.  What is important is that secondary students develop and grow in the hands of the professionals.

The secondary educational experience is designed to prepare a student for college.  It is in college where the individual learns to examine the world and how it works, and the individual's place in it.

As for duty, it is the educators' duty not simply to determine the curriculum, but to present it effectively.  They cannot half-heartedly paint it on the blackboard, they must enliven it and actually teach.  Hard work must be lauded, while freeloaders are punished.  These are the duties of teachers, and the duty of the students is not just to learn or study, but to grow. An independent mind is what students need, and that mind has to be in a position to want and be able to question beyond the material presented, not simply to question its legitimacy. That distinction, though subtle, is the difference between letting the students follow a self-destructive course of premature self-determination on the one hand , and permitting on the other hand the fostering of great talents through a cooperative, mentoring relationship

COMMENTARY

This is an insightful, well-articulated discussion of curricular responsibility and the larger issue of academic responsibility.  After a brief introduction examining assumptions implied by the topic, the writer skillfully develops the position that letting students dictate the curriculum could dilute the educational experience.  Allowing students to determine the curriculum, the writer claims, will deny them the guidance and direction they need to learn academic responsibility.

The line of reasoning is strengthened by the discussion of how teachers and students can work in partnership to satisfy the needs of students.  The argument is further advanced with concrete examples from high school courses showing how teachers provide guidance for students through group collaboration, development of interpersonal skills, and preparation for college.  The examples are varied (from condom use to reading Angelou, Yeats, or Euripedes) and used effectively to further support the writer's position.

In the conclusion, the writer thoughtfully discusses how educators should not only determine the curriculum but present it in an enlivened and appropriate manner.  The final sentence, contrasting a “self-destructive course of premature self-determination” and “a cooperative, mentoring relationship,” ties the essay together.

The essay is clearly organized, although the writer does not rely on conventional phrases (such as “first,” “second,” etc.) to signal the organizational structure.  Instead, the organization and focus progress through the line of reasoning that moves fluently and coherently from one paragraph to the next.

Language use is generally precise and effective (e.g., “holding royalty accountable to the mob”), and sentence structure is well controlled (e.g., “hard work must be lauded, while freeloaders are punished”).  The few errors are minor, the kind that can easily be made -- and forgiven -- under testing conditions.

This outstanding response received a score of 6.

篇5:GRE写作思路名师解析

GRE写作思路名师解析

大体上来说,同学们在GRE作文中逻辑问题是最多的。逻辑问题有三种,通篇逻辑,段落之间,段落之中。

要记住一点,GRE文章是一个整体,你的开篇结尾和中部内容都是应该有关联的。也就是说,在开头提到的,文中应该有展开,同时在结尾有总结。中文里不也要求行文流畅么,这至少得要求逻辑是通顺的。

很多同学都很喜欢写中立观点“A不错,但不够好”,这虽然看起来很客观,但实际上对逻辑的要求非常高,要怎样去组织语言,组织相应的论据论点,非常考验人。

有同学想说A事件要瑕疵互见,但是写着写着就乱七八糟,东一块西一块,不知道在讲点什么了。更有厉害的索性冗长的来词,讲了个空话。所以建议刚上手的同学,还是选择一边倒,站定脚跟不放松。即便是真的要写中立观点,实际上也都在A和B之间有所偏好。

此外,现在很多人会要求练writing的时候先写提纲。于是同学们们就只写一个观点,然后后面的例子乱用,或者根本没有弄清楚什么是例子。事实上,这种展开,可以是实例,也可以是虚拟的假设。实例中往往分自己的经验和他人的经验。那么怎样的例子有说服力呢?

一般来说是:名人名事(知名度大)> 众人众事(样本大)>自己经历(体会深)>他人经历。假设往往不够有说服力,因为很难涉及到每一个变量。但是假设在有的时候可以行得通,就是在很难说清楚步骤和因果关系的时候,用一个假设场景来推导会让文章变得浅显易懂。

所以建议,在刚开始上手写toefl作文的时候,先不要给自己30分钟的压力,先列出提纲(10分钟),再用30分钟去写,看能写多少。

记住你的举例一定要死死扣住你的观点,不要是和观点打擦边球的。比如我改过之前一个小朋友的文章,她的大观点是电脑对学生来说是有益的,小观点是,可以查到很多资料,然后例子是可以用google查到很多资料,很快捷。

ok,乍一看这个没有问题。但是实际上问题大了,用goole查到很多资料,是因为电脑还是internet?这很容易就偏题了,变成 internet对学生来说是有益的。例子一定要从论点出发,再回到论点。不要将你的论点发散,后果很可能就是越写越跑题。所以每次写好一篇文章,都看看,论据里的key words是不是和论点里的key words 一样,论点里的key words又是不是和题目里的key words一样。你的key words 可以比大题里的key words更加narrow,但是千万不要更加广泛。

最后说的逻辑错误,是段落中逻辑比较容易错的。一般是对接续词的运用。如However, thus, therefore,他们决定了上下文之间的关系,但是很多读起来就很奇怪,两者完全不是转折的关系,用了however,就会让人觉得有些无厘头。

或者就是上下文之间完全没有逻辑联系,就是两个单句凑在了一起。还是这句话,一篇文章和流水似的,不能断。中间断了那就不叫好文章了。即使前一句与有一句没有接续词,它们在逻辑上也是要能承接的。

GRE考试作文:丑闻

Scandals-whether in politics, academia, or other areas-can be useful.They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.

丑闻――无论是政治、学术还是其他领域――可能会是有用的。丑闻可以用演说家或者改革家无法使用的手段让我们注意到某些问题。

GRE写作范文:

Scandals occur in nearly every field that human set foot in, both revealed and incubative.Once people recognize that the person they adored yesterday is actually a liar by the exposednesses of his scandal, the first reaction may be anger, sorrow and depression.However, if rational rethinking and remediation have been taken after the reports of scandals, actually greater progresses can always be achieved compared with the efforts made by the daily boring speeches made by speakers and reformers.

Scandals can clearly show us the hidden unreasonable and unjust regulations, therefore administers or the public can adjust or even correct those errors. After the Watergate Event, not only President Nixon lost his job, but further influence was conducted by the public and medium. They realized that the problem of the abuse of power which was neglected in the past. As a result, a closer scrutiny upon the high officials of government prevents them from abusing their power any longer. Recently, the filthy relationship between Juventus Club and several references was publicized by medium, which shocked the football circle by those large holes in the institutions of football league and thus forced the Italia Football Association to take actions towards Juventus, references and the ill institutions. While Juventus has been deprived the former championship, a series of more appropriate regulations have at last been added into the football systems. There is no denying that those scandals indeed prohibit the daily operations and developments of certain fields to some extent, but these deleterious effects can be temporary, if proper measures have been done immediately. In this case, scandals may become stimulations that can provoke the awareness of the emergency of the scandals, which is necessary for establishment of an ultimate solutions to the present problems.

Furthermore, compared with the accomplishments endowed by the professional speakers and reformers, the progresses made by the aftereffects of scandals are often more significant and fast. A scandal maker usually has his position in high status, which grants him power great enough to make his underground and illegal behavior so harmful and astonishing that it can be called a scandal. Before their scandals have been known to the public, they are generally admired and trusted by their superiors and inferiors, as well as the medium and public. Therefore, it is difficult or even impossible for speakers and reformers to win the battle against those scandal makers and their inequitable laws or regulations without the support of anyone. No one believes or even pays attention on whatever the speakers and reformers assert, if the scandal makers are trying to cover up those events by their power and trust they gained at the same time. Consequently those errors remain forever. Once the secrets of the scandal makers give away, however, their aura fades, legends evaporate, so does the trust and power endued. Under such circumstances that all sides feel unsatisfied and disappointed, it is much easier for reformers to draw the focus on their ameliorative allegations towards the long existed problems, and thus, the improvements can be made. Perhaps it may be strange to accept the ironic conclusion that scandals do play a more vital role in healing the morbid system of a certain realm than those reformers do sometimes, but oftentimes it is scandal that helps the reformers a lot to strike their targets, which leads to a future primary achievements for society.

Despite the forgoing contributions of scandals, they are not without its apparent problems. Hypersensitive worries may lead serious disorders or even disasters. A threshold trouble is about the excessive revealment of privacies of the officials, stars, or other persons who were doubted to have scandals. This was often done by some so-called responsible mediums in the name of observation the social problems. As a result, the bothered officials or the stars can hardly utilize their full abilities to fulfill their tasks or jobs. Just to meet the curiosity of the public so that they can bolster their sales and profits, these mediums' detective behaviors will inevitably bring about disorders to those who in charge in some areas. Secondly, overstatements of the grave effects of scandals may shadow the contributions of the scandal makers unfairly. Although Clinton was accused by his rose event, his dedication towards the resuscitation and prosperity of America's economy during his term of office cannot be denied. If his fault was overemphasized present, he may have to resign immediately, and his economic ability can no longer serve the society,which is an obvious loss of the society.

To be just, I acknowledge that most people hate to witness scandals happening around them. What is more, recessions and the private violations always come along with scandals.Nevertheless, seeing from another angle, if the scandals are in fact ineluctable, it may be wiser to bravely face with the extant problems. We should find them out and then correct them rather than simply denying their existence.

GRE写作官方题库高频ARGUMENT题目满分范文分享:student evaluation of professors

GRE作文官方题库ARGUMENT题目:

The following appeared in a memorandum from a dean at Omega University.

“Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors. Since that time, Omega professors have begun to assign higher grades in their classes, and overall student grade averages at Omega have risen by thirty percent. Potential employers apparently believe the grades at Omega are inflated; this would explain why Omega graduates have not been as successful at getting jobs as have graduates from nearby Alpha University. To enable its graduates to secure better jobs, Omega University should now terminate student evaluation of professors.”

【满分范文赏析】

In this memo Omega University’s dean points out that Omega graduates are less successful in getting jobs than Alpha University graduates, despite the fact that during the past 15 years the overall grade average of Omega students has risen by 30%. The dean indicates that during the past 15 years Omega has encouraged its studentsto evaluate the effectiveness of their professors. The dean reasons that student evaluations led professors to increase grades, which has, in turn, created a perception among employers that the grades of Omega graduates are not actually representative of their real quality. The dean concludes that to enable Omega graduates enjoy better job placement, the university must terminate its professor-evaluation procedure. This argument is unconvincing because it contains several flaws in logic.

【本段结构】本段采用了标准的Argument开头段结构,即C—E—F的开头结构。段落首先概括原文的Conclusion,接下来概括原文为支持其结论所引用的一系列evidence,最后给出开头段到正文段的过渡句,指出原文在逻辑上含有多处Flaw。

【本段功能】本段作为Argument开头段,具体功能就在于发起攻击并概括原文的结论,即:为了让其毕业生获得更好的工作,Omega大学应该现在停止学生评估教授的程序。本段分布列举了原文为支持其结论所引用的证据——尽管在过去内Omega学生的总平均成绩提高了30%,Omega大学的毕业生在就业时不如Alpha大学的毕业生成功、学生对教授的评估导致教授提高成绩,进而使雇主们产生Omega毕业生的成绩不能代表他们的真实品质这一印象等等。这些信息的归纳为正文段中即将进行的具体攻击作铺垫。

One problem with the argument is that the current evaluation process is not a mandatory one and the deandoesn’t state how many people participated. The dean provides no evidence about the number of students or percentage of the study body who participate in the procedure. Without such evidence,drawing a link between the evaluation of professors and their grading trends is not possible. Without such a link, an audience cannot be expected to accept that the termination of the above-mentioned evaluation would, in fact, have any effect on grading.

【本段结构】本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即:概括第一个逻辑错误的错误类型和其在原文中出现的位置,接下来给出合理的理由和他因来反驳原文。

【本段功能】本段作为正文第一段,攻击原文中出现的第一个重要逻辑错误——调查类错误。本段指出学校现有的评估过程不是强制性的,院长也没有说明有多少人参与了调查。院长没有对参与这一程序的学生人数或在学生群体中所占的百分比提供证据。如果没有这样的证据,是不可能建立学生对教授的评估和教授的评分趋势之间的联系的。如果没有如此联系,不能指望观众接受学生对教授的评估的终止将对教授的评分产生任何影响这一论断。

The argument is based on the assumption that the grade-average increase is somehow related to the evaluation procedurerather than some other phenomenon. The dean ignores a host of other possible explanations for the increase. For example, a trend at Omega toward higher admission standards, or higher quality instruction or facilities could have produced the increased grades. Without ruling out this or other possible explanations for the grade-average increase, the dean cannot expect to convince an audience that by terminating the evaluation procedure Omega would curb its perceived grade inflation, let alone help its graduates get jobs.

【本段结构】本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即:概括第二个逻辑错误的错误类型和其在原文中出现的位置,接下来给出合理的理由和他因来反驳原文。

【本段功能】本段作为正文第二段,攻击原文中出现的第二个重要逻辑错误——忽略他因。原文假设平均成绩的提升是以某种方式和评估的程序而不是某种其它的现象联系起来的。院长忽视了诸多于这一成绩提升的其它可能解释。例如,Omega录取学生标准提高的趋势或高质量的教学和设施均可能导致了成绩的提升。本段最后指出:院长在没有排除这些其它可能导致平均成绩提升的解释之前,是不能指望说服观众Omega大学停止其评估程序将抑制其成绩通胀,更不用提将帮助其毕业生找到工作了。

Even if the evaluation procedure has resulted in grade inflation at Omega, the dean’s claim that grade inflation explains why Omega graduates are less successful than Alpha graduates in getting jobs is unjustified. The dean overlooks a myriad of other possible reasons for Omega’s comparatively poor job-placement record. Perhaps Omega’s career services are inadequate.Perhaps Omega’s curriculum does not prepare students for the job market as effectively as Alpha’s. In short, without the true results of a comparative analysis, there is no way we can determine that this is why graduates have been less successfully placed.

【本段结构】本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即:概括第三个逻辑错误的错误类型和其在原文中出现的位置,接下来给出合理的理由和他因来反驳原文。

【本段功能】本段作为正文第三段,攻击原文中出现的第三个重要逻辑错误——忽略他因。即使评估程序导致了Omega学生的成绩通胀,院长关于为什么Omega的毕业生在就业时没有Alpha的毕业生成功的论断也不能被证明正确。院长忽视了种.种其它可能导致Omega就业情况记录较差的原因。或许Omega的职业服务不适当,或许Omega的课程不能像Alpha的课程那样有效地为学生们的就业做准备。本段最后指出:如果没有一个比较分析的真实结果,我们无从决定这就是毕业生就业并不成功的理由。

Even if the dean can prove the assumptions, his assertion that Omega must terminate its evaluation procedure to enable its graduates to find better jobs is still unwarranted. First, the dean ignores other ways that Omega could potentially increase its job-placement record. For example, by improving its public relations or career-counseling services, the university may be able to gain a better reputation and deliver better potential employees. Second, the dean seems to equate “more” jobs with “better” jobs—there is no analysis of the jobs that Alpha graduates were placed in. In other words, even if more Omega graduates were able to find jobs as a result of the dean’s recommended course of action, the kinds of jobs Omega graduates find would not necessarily be better ones.

【本段结构】本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即:概括第四个逻辑错误的错误类型和其在原文中出现的位置,接下来给出合理的理由和他因来反驳原文。

【本段功能】本段作为正文第四段,攻击原文中出现的第四个重要逻辑错误——因果类错误。即使院长能够证实前述假设,他关于Omega必须停止其评估程序以使其毕业生找到更好的工作的断言依然是无根据的。首先,院长忽视了Omega可以潜在地提高其就业记录的方式,例如改善其公共关系或职业咨询服务等。其次,院长似乎将“更多的”工作和“更好的”工作划等号,也没有对Alpha的毕业生所处的工作进行分析。换而言之,即使院长所建议的行动促使更多的Omega毕业生能够找到工作,他们所找到的工作的种类也并不一定是更好的。

篇6:解析GRE考试写作复习

解析GRE考试写作复习

1)新GRE作文的基本情况:

新GRE写作要求考生在30分钟+30分钟内分别完成两篇文章,它是美国所有作文考试中时间最长而质量要求最高的一类作文考试。此外,GRE考试作文不仅是普林斯顿的教授给个分就算,它还要我们花钱将其寄到我们申请的学校,然后由这帮决定我们命运的委员会的委员们严格把关,看你是否在科研文章的写作方面具备一定的水准,因为你们将来的老板对写作的要求是比较高的,所以这自然是构成了你能不能得到奖学金的重要标准之一。

当然大家也不要怕,新GRE写作的题目是全世界公开的,有点像我们的开卷考试,只要花一定的精力准备,再加上临危不惧的心态,一般的中国考生基本都能考到4.5分以上,所以请大家在准备新GRE写作的第一天开始就要具备这种必胜的心态。天道六步曲体系 TSSS源于经验、责任、使命、灵感和天才,充分凝聚每一个天道人的智慧以及数千个名校成功录取案例的经验。天道引进世界顶级咨询公司先进咨询服务模型和西方职业评估体系基础上,结合申请人在海外求学路上的切实困惑和需求,开创出来的全新留学服务体系。“天道六步曲”的宗旨是打破传统留学中介代理的服务模式,关注就业,重视科学职业规划,强调授人以“渔”。协助申请人创建自己从未意识到的申请名校的竞争优势(Create your own edge)。天道旨在成为中国留学行业的改革者和新规则的制定者。我们要破除已有的习惯性思维,推行同样的变革和创新。

2)新GRE作文从特点上论述:

1. 新GRE写作考试有练习题:

为了达到公平,公布了它考试的所有写作练习题,那么为了达到能和native speaker一起竞争,考生应该在考前对所有题目都进行预习(节约考试时的审题时间),并通过100-150个提纲的写作了解新GRE写作的一般结构,通过30-50篇写作来练习自己的写作思路和表达。对练习题中的题目越熟练,对考试越有利。

2. 新GRE写作考试的评阅是计件工作制的:

每个评卷人对你文章的评阅非常快,不可能对每个细节都很仔细地去看。考生应该迎合评卷人的评卷思路,用最规范的结构和最清晰的表达来体现自己的思路:首段要鲜明地提出观点,中间段落层次要拉开,每段的开始应该就是该段的topic sentence。

3. 新GRE写作的评分是整体评分(holistic scoring):

首先,从公布的各分数段评分标准看,其评分主要注重以下三个方面:

①逻辑分析能力,要求insightful;

②文章的组织,要求well-organized;

③语言能力,要求standard written English; concise; varied structure等。

但是也强调,评分是整体的,而不是各个角度分别评分。这就说明,虽然中国考生的语言能力偏弱,但是只要能在其他两个角度上给评卷人非常impressive的感觉,一样可以拿到6分。

因此,在短期内尽力提高语言能力的同时(语言能力的培养不是一天两天可以完成的),考生在复习时应该尽可能地对题目进行深入的分析,学习高分作文的文章结构,通过这两个方面的突破来迅速提高作文整体的分数。

当然,练习这么多的文章需要考生付出相当大的代价。大部分考生都没有这么充裕的时间。一般来说,针对不同类型的Issue题目,要练习50篇左右。

如Argument。Argument练习题内容虽然很大,但就题目中出错的逻辑类型来说,就显得较为单一了。

比如:第2题---由于Brookville采用了景观限制措施,我们Deerhaven Ares也应采用。 第16题---邻省Lucria开设了彩票业务,我们Impecunia也应效仿。第18题---改良了道路并维持55mph的速度限制,我们Prunty County也应保持55mph的速度限制。

再如:第8题---Mesa Food的食品在一个小地区获得了成功,我们在全国范围内推广其产品的销售。第19题---Ad Lib在Megalopolis推销摇滚乐队的演出门票很成功,因此在全国的巡回演出中也应使用Ad Lib来做门票销售代理。

这5道题目都有共同的逻辑错误,“在另外一个地点发生的情况,在本地也必然发生“。考生可以用完全一致的驳斥方法,来驳斥。

另外,Argument题目中大都提供了相当丰富的背景信息,所以考生总不至于无话可说。

总而言之,Argument的难度要比Issue低一些,只要考生把各种逻辑错误熟练的掌握,并能清楚明白的表述出来,成绩一般不会低于4分。

新GRE Argument练习题中的逻辑错误,修文粗略的统计了一下,大概有8、9种,如果考生想要在Argument部分拿到4.5以上的成绩,那么针对每种错误类型练习至少要练习3篇,总数在30左右就可以了。

GRE写作高分范文:知识让事情变得神秘

As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious.

当我们获得越来越多的知识,事情并没有变的更加透彻,相反是变的更复杂更神秘。

GRE写作范文:

With the development of the society, natural science and social science help people learn more about the world and the things seems to be clear, actually, under some circumstance, in-depth researches on things cause three consequences at the some time: comprehensible, complex and mysterious rather than merely understand.

Accumulated knowledge helps problems or theories to be expressed clearly and lucidly so that people feel easy to understand the issues. For example, Galileo, who was a famous Italian astronomer who despise the prejudices and book learning of the Aristotelians, who put his question to the nature instead of the ancient, and who drew his conclusion fearlessly. Eventually, his experiment and observation established a new theory and overthrew the old one from Aristotle. Because of his success and theories,people learn how to observe the sky with telescope and begin to understand another space, which is far from the earth. Obviously, without knowledge from Galileo’s theory, universe might also be a inspiration and even a vacancy. Take another scientist for example, Edison, who invented electric bulb by making thousand experiment and brought the society into a brilliant century. Recently, people live in a society which full of light and help them to learn what they can see and observe. With the revolution of human beings, knowledge solves various problems and creates a more comprehensible and comfortable life to the people.

However, those knowledge makes us to considered the reason and origin for human nature of curiosity, as a result, the world become increasingly complex. Take the same instance what have pointed above, although people learn to use telescope to observe the sky, people unsatisfied with such a “observation” and desire to touch with the outer space and understand other planets. In this case, scientists invented the spacecraft which have successfully landed on the Moon and Mars, after these experiments, people know that there are no water and few gravitation in Moon, and the Mas might have the similar condition of the earth. however, the complex problems come out, because people feel difficulty to explain the phenomena in the outer space.

Therefore, the research on astronomy becomes complex and involved. Not only this field, but also all scientific area becomes complicate. When people understand a surface of things, they will feel anxious to learn the core of them, however, the deeper people do researches, the more complications exist.

Additionally, in-depth learning causes desire of researching for mystery, which follows the existence of complication. Indeed, there are many uncanny problems in process of doing research when people hope to point out the reason of complex issue. For example, the construction of pyramid has been an enigma for a long time, because people fail to imagine that the ancient people can construct such a palatial with old and traditional method. Moreover, “black hole” would be a mysterious place that astronomers desire to touch and understand because no one know a little about this untouched field. Faced with these things, human nature motivates and stimulates people to purchase the reason and the secret.

In sum, people learn more about things by accumulating knowledge and then establish new theory and system, and at the same time, complex and mysterious problems exist simultaneously for the desire of exploring secret and untouched field-all of these constitute a process of learning and researching.

GRE写作高分范文:竞争利弊问题

题目:

“Competition is ultimately more beneficial than detrimental to society.”

归根结底,竞争对于社会是利多弊少。

正文:

Darwin suggested that the process of evolution is one based on competition. This deadly competition weeds out the weak and only the fittest of the species survives. Humans, being the product of millions of years of evolution, are by nature, competitive beings. Yet, humans are also social beings. Like the bees in the hive, we are not very successful living completely on our own. We need to cooperate with other individuals for our survival. Thus, a conflict ensues, between our innate competitiveness, and our need to cooperate. There are pros and cons associated with both. However, it is my belief that overall, competition, is more detrimental than beneficial to human society.

First, let us try to identify why there is competition in the first place. In an environment abundant with resources, where supply outstrips demand, there is very little need for the inhabitants to fight with each other over them. This is not the case on planet earth. Resources are limited, and there is constant jostling to get to the front of the queue to get acquire them. For example, thousands of prospective students apply to gain entrance to top universities around the world, but there are only a handful of places in those

universities. Thus, there is competition to get into to these hallowed institutions of higher learning.From a utilitarian perspective, competition is a good thing. In evolution it is responsible for the elimination of “weak” genes. In the business environment, it gets rid of the weaker players. In politics, it weeds out unpopular candidates. In academia, it gets rid of weak students.

Furthermore, competition leads to self improvement. Businesses will strive to offer better products and services at lesser prices. The consumer reaps rich rewards from this competitive spirit. Politicians strive to do the utmost for the people, so they would get reelected. Students excel in there studies, trying to outdo each other.

Thus, ostensibly, competition is responsible for the betterment of the society as a whole. However, this is just the superficial view. Underneath the surface, competition, in every aspect, is slowly eating away at the very fabric of the society.

While it is true to say that competition in corporate world has brought great benefits to the consumer, the society as “Missed A here”whole is playing a great price for it. Most businesses are exploiting cheap labour in the third world to maximise their profits. There are thousands of sweatshops run by well known western corporations in countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh and China. People are forced to work in squalid conditions, often 16 hours a day. They are lucky to receive a dollar a day for there labours. The moment a government in any of these countries try to improve the working conditions of the employees, these multinational giants flee the country, often leaving whole communities facing financial ruin. The corporations are aware that there are plenty of other labour markets that could be exploited with gay abandon.

That is just the human cost. What about the environmental costs? Competition has forced many corporations to “stream line” their operations. Environmental standards are normally the first victims of this “stream line” process. A significant amount of environmental pollution and land degradation has been blamed on industry, yet the factories keep producing more and more. Thousands of items go unsold each year due to competition. Only a fraction of this merchandise is recycled. The rest goes to the already overflowing landfills.

篇7:GRE备考Issue写作详细解析

Issue

“The purpose of many advertisements is to make consumers want to buy a product so that they will 'be like' the person in the ad. This practice is effective because it not only sells products but also helps people feel better about themselves.”

Sample Essay

Many advertisements do indeed use attractive models or celebrities to entice consumers into buying the products that are being promoted. Who would not like to look like the beautiful models that are depicted enjoying the product? Who would not like to be like a Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods? To a certain extent, buying products to emulate the persons shown in the advertisements can make a person feel better about him or herself. But this type of advertisement can be a double-edged sword - when the product does not make the person “be like” the person in the advertisement, there can be disappointment and disillusionment with the product.

Marketing departments have long known that using attractive models and celebrity endorsers can help to persuade consumers to buy a product. Some customers may actually believe that buying and using the product will make them “be like” the people featured in the ad. For other consumers, there is probably at least some subconscious reaction that causes them to believe that they will in fact assume some of the characteristics of the person depicted in the advertisement. Consumers with a lower sense of self-esteem are more likely to buy a product based on the motivation that they will become like someone else.

Proof of this marketing axiom can be found by simply looking at advertisements from around the world. People featured in advertisements are almost always good-looking, healthy and physically fit. Marketers are savvy enough, and enough market research has proven that, consumers are motivated to buy by advertisements featuring attractive models. Even advertisements that are aimed at the older people of a population will feature attractive older people. Although there has been some criticism about the effect of showing only “beautiful people” on the general population, particularly on young women, advertisers know that beauty sells. But whether this practice makes people feel better about themselves depends on the individual and is certainly open to debate.

Some individuals with a low sense of self-esteem, especially younger people, may purchase products in an attempt to make themselves be like the person featured in the advertisement. Young women in particular may buy cosmetics or clothing advertised by beautiful models in an attempt to look the same as them. Young men may buy athletic shoes or apparel in an attempt to perform athletically in the same way that the person featured in the advertisement plays. These people may then become further discouraged when they use or wear the product and find out that they are the same person that they were before. Buying the product hasn't changed anything.

There are others that may derive a certain sense of satisfaction over the fact that they wear the same underwear as some beautiful models or that they drink the same soft drink as Britney Spears. These people in general already have a good sense of who they are and don't expect a particular product to perform miracles for them. For these people, the purchase of the product is not so much as an image enhancer; it is more of a form of self-expression. Perhaps drinking a Pepsi-Cola makes them feel younger or wearing Nike shoes makes them feel more athletic, no matter how old or inactive they may be in reality. In this manner, it is possible that advertising can make people feel better about themselves.

Marketing and advertising absolutely must appeal to people in one way or another to be successful. Research has shown that using celebrities and attractive people can motivate consumers to purchase a product. In whatever manner, advertisers hope that they actually can make people feel better about themselves, because that can help foster repeat purchases of a product. Ultimately, whether an advertisement makes a person feel better about him or herself depends on the individual and how they perceive themselves as compared to the particular advertisement in question.

观点陈述型作文[题目]

“许多广告的目的在于,通过使顾客购买某种商品,从而让他们觉得他们将会和广告中的那个人'相差无几'.这一做法甚为有效,因为它不仅能售出产品,而且也帮助人们有更好的自我感觉。”

[范文正文]

许多广告确实使用迷人的模特或名人来诱使顾客购买所推销的产品。试想,谁不想看上去像广告所描绘的那个正在享受该产品的漂亮模特呢?谁不喜欢成为麦克尔·乔丹或泰格·伍兹呢?在某种程度上,通过购买产品从而去模仿广告中所表现的人物可以使人产生较好的自我感觉。但这类广告却是一把双刃剑——当产品不能使购买者与广告人物“相差无几”时,人们就会对产品产生失落感和幻灭感。

营销部门早就深知,使用迷人的模特和名流有助于说服顾客顾买某一产品。某些顾客可能实际上相信购买和使用该产品会使自己与广告中描绘的人物“相仿”.对某一些顾客来说,至少有可能存在某种潜意识的反应,使他们相信他们在实际上可以获取广告中所表现的人物的某些特征。自尊感较低的顾客更有可能购买某一产品,其动机便是他们将能变得类似于另一个人。

要证明这一营销公理,我们仅须审视一下世界各地的广告。广告所刻划的人物几乎总是漂亮,健康,精力充沛。营销人员个个老谋深算,有足够的市场研究已证明,有迷人模特的广告可激发起顾客的购买欲望。即使是面向老年人的广告也会展示迷人的老年人形象。尽管只展示“漂亮脸蛋”对普通民众,尤其是对年轻妇女姓,所产生的影响已遭到某些批评,但广告商深知,美能带来商业效益。但该做法是否真能使人有更好的自我感觉,这因人而异,且值得商榷。

某些自尊感低的个人,尤其是年轻人,他们购买产品有可能是试图让自己类似于广告中所表现的人物。特别是年轻女性,她们购买那些漂亮模特作广告宣传的化妆品或服饰,可能是为了能和广告人物显得一模一样。年轻男性购买运动鞋或服装,试图能在运动方面与广告中的人物相媲美。然而,当这些人使用或穿上广告中的产品,却发现他们还是他们以前的那个样子时,他们会倍受打击。购买广告产品并没有改变什么。

另外有一些人可能会从这样的事实中获得某种满足感,即他们穿着和漂亮模特一样的内衣或喝着与Britney Spears一样的饮料。这些人普遍而言早已清楚自己是什么样的人,并不希望某一特定产品为他们创造奇迹。对这些人来说,购买产品与其说是在提升自己的形象,还不如说是一种自我表现。或许,喝百事可乐使他们觉得年轻,或穿上耐克鞋使他们觉得更象一个运动员,不管他们实际上年龄有多大或多么的不爱运动。广告有可能以这样的方式使人们有更好的自我感觉。

市场营销和广告绝对应该以一种方式或另一种方式来打动人们,以便取得成功。研究表明,应用名人或迷人的人物可以促使消费者购买某一产品。无论用何种手法,广告商们希望,他们能够使人们实际上形成更好的自我感觉,因为这样有助于培养人们反复购买某一产品的习惯。最终来说,广告是否能使人们有更好的自我感觉取决于个人,取决于他们将自己与某一特定广告联系起来时是如何看待他们自己的。
