最新GRE写作4大入门级技巧常识讲解 打好基础比直接动笔更重要

新GRE写作考试时间分配

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。

新GRE写作考试如何算分策略

首先GRE写作两个部分在总分中的权重是一样的。新GRE作文中有两个项目,最后出的GRE作文分数是一个,所以如何进行GRE作文算分呢?

由于AA的写作不牵涉自己观点的展开,只须指出作者逻辑上的漏洞,因此在经过训练以后,写起来并不困难;而AI的写作需要自己展开自己设立的观点,不但需要逻辑上的洞察能力,还需要论证观点的能力,语言组织的能力,因此对于中国考生来讲比较困难,难以短期内有较大提高。

但是这两个部分在总分中的权重是一样的,因此考生的策略应该是尽量提高AI部分的写作能力而力保AA部分满分(或高分)。因为如果AA部分满分的话,AI部分只需争取在4分以上就可以保证整体作文分数在5分以上。

新GRE写作考试ETS的评分标准

参照ETS评过分的范文,我们不难发现:无论是ISSUE还是ARGUMENT在评分标准上都有共同之处,即:

第一,观点要有深度,论证要有说服力;

第二,组织要有条理,表达清晰准确;

第三,语言流利,句式复杂,词汇丰富。

这三条分别说的是行文的“思想性”、“结构性”和“表达性”,众多高分作文的考生大凡都在这三个方面做得很好,我们理所当然也要从这里入手,采取“各个击破”的方法解剖GRE作文的本质,从而得到一个理想分数。

GRE写作的记分方式

GRE写作记分方式是这样的,两篇作文总分都是六分,计算公式为你的得分=(Issue的得分 Argument的得分)/2,最终的计分是以0.5分为一个格。

来自feeble的法语拼写变体。

3.indolent /‘?nd?l?nt/ adj. 懒惰的, 懒散的, 不活跃的

in=not,dol=悲伤,字面意思是没有悲伤的,懒惰之人安于闲适,不愿经受痛苦。

源自拉丁语,limpa 泉水。

5.assiduous /??s?d?u?s/ adj. 专心致志的, 勤勉的

6.recant /r??k?nt/ vi. 宣布放弃;公开认错;撤回声明

re=向后;cant=sing,song,和日耳曼语言的“hen(母鸡)”同源。因此recant表示把自己之前说过的话“喊”回来,即“宣布放弃,公开认错”。

篇2:公文写作入门技巧

公文写作入门技巧

一、循序渐进

学习公文写作不可能一蹴而就。一是可以先从通知、公告、大事记等相对来说内容单一、结构简单、篇幅短小的文体学起,逐步向工作意见、工作规划、工作汇报等相对复杂的文体拓展。二是可以先从办法、规定、条例等相对来说规范性较强、模式化程度较高的文体学起,逐步向领导讲话、调查报告、经验材料等非规范化、非模式化的文体拓展。三是可以先从自己熟悉的领域写起,逐步向其他领域拓展。

二、照猫画虎

所谓照猫画虎,就是套写和模仿。套写和模仿主要适用于三种情况:一是适用于相对简单和模式化程度较高的文体。二是适用于相同的文体。三是适用于相同或相近内容的文稿。套用和模仿,通常情况下主要着眼于文章的体例和结构,有时也套用文中的一些观点、素材和语言。但这种方法只能作为初学者的入门之道或特殊情况下的应急写作。

三、熟中取巧

俗话说:“一回生、两回熟”“熟能生巧”。就公文写作而言,由生而熟、由熟而巧的媒介和桥梁就是多写多练。为此,要注意四点:一要有计划地练,不要盲目地练。对先练什么文体、后练什么文体,什么时候练什么文体,要有安排、有路数,不能随心所欲。二要集中地练,不要分散地练。采取各个击破的策略,力求在较短时间内实现突破,然后再转入新的文体。三要思考着练,不要无所用心地练。每篇文章,从立意到结构,从选材到语言,都要认真思考,反复斟酌,力求最佳,不能胡乱挥洒,潦草从事。四要有目标地练,不要单纯地为练而练。比如,信息类、经验类、调研类的材料,可以把目标定在供内部刊物选用或向新闻媒体投稿上。文稿一旦被选用,会进一步激发学习写作的热情。这比漫无目的的练习,效果往往会好得多。

四、改中求精

修改,改什么?如果用一句话概括,就是构成一篇文章的所有要素都在修改的范围之内。重点有四个方面:一是斟酌主题,看是否正确、深刻和突出;二是研究结构,看前后是否衔接,整体是否协调,层次是否清楚,段落是否分明,照应是否紧密,过渡是否自然;三是检查素材,看是否真实、典型、新鲜、生动,是否恰到好处地说明了主题;四是推敲文字,看每个段落、每句话、每个词、每个标点是否得当。

修改的方法大致有三种:一是静思默改法。就是初稿写成后,自己平心静气地坐下来,让整个文稿从头至尾、从大到小在头脑中过过“电影”,细细品味,从中发现毛病。二是边读边改法。就是对写成的文稿,从头至尾读上一遍甚至几遍,边读边思考,边读边修改。这对发现不妥当的词、不通顺的句子极其有效。三是冷却修改法。就是把写成的文稿先放一放,自己则先读一些有关的文章,翻一些相关的资料,开阔一下思路,冷静一下头脑,然后回过头来再对文稿进行思考和修改。这样,即使比较成熟的文稿,也会发现毛病。

五、比较鉴别

比较,是知好坏、晓优劣、见长短的有效方法。一是拿自己写的'初稿同领导修改后或报刊发表后的定稿进行比较,看一看领导和编辑都做了哪些修改,琢磨一下为什么这样修改,修改后的高明之处在哪儿,从中体会出—些门道,以供今后借鉴。二是拿自己的习作同别人起草的大家公认比较成熟的相同主题、相同体裁的文稿进行比较,看一看人家高明在什么地方、为什么高明,自己的差距在哪里,为什么有这样的差距,思考一下怎样学习人家的长处,弥补自己的短处。三是找一些不同人起草的主题和体裁相同的文稿进行比较,看一看各有什么特色和长短,找出哪些是可供自己学习借鉴的,哪些是自己应该注意避免的,以博采众家之长。四是把自己所在单位的文稿同上级单位的同类文稿进行比较,看一看上级的文稿在站位上、在角度选择上、在问题的阐述上有什么高明之处,以便从中受益。

六、虚心请教

虚心请教可以有多个层面、多种方式。一是带着问题求解。在同事们你一言、我一语的讨论中,也常会受到深刻的启发。正所谓“听君一席话,胜读十年书”,千万不要把自己封闭起来。二是带着文章求改。就是自己写了文章以后,要多请高手帮助修改。除此以外,也可以向同事们征求修改意见;如果是以基层工作情况为素材的文章,还可以再回到基层,听听一线干部和群众的反映。三是向书本求知。书本是知识的载体,是无言的老师。有些文章甚至会使你眼前一亮、茅塞顿开。

七、参与其中

在党政机关和企事业单位,有时重要的文稿并不只交给一人起草,而是成立一个写作班子来集体起草。一要参与正式起草前的集体讨论。这时的讨论一般侧重于研究写作背景、弄清领导意图、确定文章主题、理顺文章思路、搭起文章框架、选好文章角度。二要参与文章的写作。在这一过程中,要尽可能全程、深入地参与其中。即使不承担正式的写作任务,自己也要选择其中的一部分或几部分写一写,用以同其他人员起草的文稿相比较,看人家好在哪里,自己差在何处,以便有针对性地学习和提高。三要参与集体修改。集体讨论修改既有助于提高发现问题的能力,又有助于提高解决问题的能力;既有助于丰富知识,又有助于活跃思维。千万不要轻易放过。

八、勤于总结

无论在语言和素材的运用上,还是在整体结构和格式上,公文都有自己显著的特点和规律,同时,不同体裁的公文还有各自不同的特点和规律,讲话与条例、通知与总结、决议与大事记、批复与调查报告,差别很大。只有掌握了这些规律,写起公文来才能得心应手,至少可以做到写什么像什么。而要真正掌握这些规律,就要勤于实践,勤于总结。每写一篇文章要总结,每看一篇文章也要总结,还要经常把一些相同体裁的文章收集起来进行集中研究和总结。只有不断研究,不断总结,日积月累,孜孜以求,才能逐步把感性认识上升到理性认识,透过现象看到本质。

篇3:通用英语写作高分4大技巧

通用英语写作高分4大技巧

技巧1:扩充词汇量,避免重复使用同一词语

英语作文主要看文章的连贯度,而词汇量的多少很大程度上决定着考生能否将文章写下去。很多时候考生想到一个很好的句子或文字,但一下子词汇不记得了,便写不下去或者用一些老生常谈的词语代替。如此一来,文章便失去了表现力,显得死板、单调。因此,考生要不断扩充词汇量,在写作时尽量避免使用同一词语来表示同一意思。

技巧2:适当使用短语代替单词

很多考生在英文写作中只习惯使用一些很简单的单词,尽管他们知道有很多类似的短语,但就是懒得花时间去想。其实,这种做法是很划不来的,为了节约那一点点的`时间,写的都是些很简单、很基础的词汇,让人一看就没有水平。要想获得更高的分数,就需要变换使用短语,增加作文质量。

技巧3:多使用高级句型

英语写作时多采用一些高级词汇或者句型,可以使文章增添文采,给阅卷老师留下深刻的印象。有些考生因怕出错而只写短句或简单句,写出的文章过于幼稚、空洞乏味。要使文章有血有肉就要把平时学的知识用进去,如:定语从句、宾语从句、非谓语动词和比较等句型,关键时用上一、二个,就能使文章不同凡响,更有文采,特别是对关联词的使用,会使文章逻辑结构紧密、层次鲜明、条理清楚,更能显示出你的英文功底,但要做到这些并非一日之功,要靠平时的不断训练和积累。

技巧4:适当使用名言警句点缀

在英文写作时根据实际情况恰当地用上一两句名言警句来点缀文章,不仅使文章显得有深度、有智慧,而且会让文章在评分中上一个“得分档次”。天天象上名师提醒考生,可以背诵阅读优秀的中学生的作文集,把精彩的段落和句子抄下来并仿写。

面面俱到:精讲英语不同文体的写作

从英文写作文体来看,文章可分为四类:记叙文、描写文、说明文和议论文。在实际写作中,这四种文体往往互相渗透,交织在一起。但就一篇文章的主题和风格来看,仍然可以把它归类为某一文体。天天象上的名师分别对不同文体的特点、结构及其写作方法作出剖析。

此外,提高英文写作水平最重要的一点是坚持。坚持写下去,写一篇改一篇,通过不断地积累和学习,写作水平肯定会不断提升的。

篇4:GRE写作:高分技巧

GRE写作:高分必备技巧

一、找准主题,集中突破

一个好的主题,通常都是采用滴水映海洋,粒沙藏世界的手法。从一滴水里能看到大海的样子,从一粒沙中能展现整个世界,这是多么地不容易呀!但是,好主题通常就是这样表达出来的。每位GRE作文考友专业背景、准备时间与英语基础各不一样,在作文中面临的问题当然也不一样:有些是语言和思想都很出色,有些是有思想但表达不出来,有些是英语好但思路打不开,一个作文小组只有几个人或者十几个人,就能够看出这些差别来,用一种统一的方法来进行准备,未必对每个人都意味着高效率。

二、避免低效率低水平

写作能力很强的同学,通常的一件事会把握怎样写,如何写,哪些该祥,哪些该略,哪些该修饰,哪些该平白,驾驭文字的功夫很是了得。文采不是每个人天生就有的,它是一个逐步积累、逐步升华、逐步成熟的过程,需要去大量阅读、长期积累、心灵感悟、凝练提取的再创造本领,这要在日常学习中逐步提高,很多GRE作文考友干劲十足,一天一篇issue或者argument,但如果基本问题不解决而沉溺于题海战术中,往往是事倍功半。即使GRE作文考友帮助你修改得很好,但你并不能透彻了解自己语法或者思维方式错误的根源在哪里,那就只能寄希望于把每一篇改过的都背下来然后在考试时碰上。如果记得不牢或者根本没碰上,问题就大了。我喜欢实践-理论-实践这种螺旋式的进步方法,先找到问题,然后有针对性地进行系统性的学习,打好基础;感觉有提高了再来实践,再发现问题再提高。

三、重点准备GRE作文提纲

这一点是承接第二点的。题海战术有两个问题:一是没有解决根本问题,二是机会成本过高。所谓机会成本,就是你花的时间过多,而这些时间本来可以用来做更有意义的事情,比如说记单词,学习语法或者看书开拓思路。设想你英文很差,但你写作很努力,在考试时又碰上了写过的题目,你的作文得了5分以上,但verbal只有300多分,人家一眼就能看出你的真实水平。所以我觉得在打基础的同时,要把重点放在提纲也就是思路的准备上。

四、选择性地练习实战写作

试想一下,如果你在考试时面对题目,最可能使你心慌的是什么?那可能就是这道题没见过,不知从哪下手;如果你想过了,即使你没写过,你也不会太紧张。我备考时只写了两篇issue和两篇argument,时间主要花在熟悉题目上,argument看得少一些,issue看了一半左右,有点轻敌了,如果全看的话就会更沉着。

GRE写作满分范文赏析

“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.”

Today some educators place much emphasis on what students want,there is a conflict about what is the educator's duty for what  educatee should get.

Normally, the college or university in our country ,students just study what they are tought,it is the professor's duty to dermine what should appear in the classroom.Nowday china has taken the polices of opening reforming,every thing chang vastly.Students can't get the job position from goverment authority but must look for the work chance by themself ,so students have taken great care to what they learn int the college and what kind of knowlege does the job market need.If our high education institute ignore this chang and keep the tranditional teaching method,it will seem as wast student's time and money and the colleges will lost  their student.

It may be the best way for the developing country to reform their high education system, especially with those majors that closely connected with market or industry application.we must give our student  most upcoming technolegy or skill to meet the need of outdoor of our college,the information from students may be the best reference for the educator to determine what they should take to the classroom.

COMMENTARY

This essay displays little ability to develop and organize a coherent response to the topic.

The essay takes the position that China needs to reform its traditional approach to curriculum by becoming more student centered and technologically current.  However, the reader has to work hard to decipher the generally confusing line of reasoning, which does not obviously address the central issue presented in the topic.

There is an attempt to organize the argument into a three-paragraph essay, but the one-sentence introduction is simply a variation of the topic statement.  The brief body of the essay does not advance an opinion in a coherent manner, and the final paragraph shifts the focus to the need for technology in the curriculum.

The errors (comma splices, misspellings, verb problems, etc.) are so intrusive that coherence remains a problem.

This essay would need considerable rewriting in order to earn a higher score than 1.

“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.”

There are many school violences in each school.  Those are big problems to our govenment and social.  School violences effect the studying of students.  This is very serious, even some students are nervious to go school.  In fact, the government must give students a clean place to study.  Teachers should help students know it is a duty to study.  So, everyone should face those big problems.

Do we know what are students' ideas?  Do the educators try to know?  Most educators hope the govenment can give students more and help them more.  These are people's hope.  But it is so unfortunate that students can't have a good place to study.  Also, teachers have to teach the students.  Not that students can know what to study by themself.  In the compus, there are many guys sell the drugs and acohol to younger students.  Why those guys can go into the school?  That is also the main problem.

When we were little, we didn't know what is correct and what is wrong.  So we lose ourself easily.  At the same time, we need much care from parents and teachers.  So our teachers and parents play the important roles and they own must do better.  Because some students learn some bad habits from their teachers and parents.

If we want to resolve all the problems, we must face the problems and find out the reasons, then try to resolve them.  We also must care all students.  If we can help them, tring to do our best.  Then, the problems will become less and less.

COMMENTARY

This is a seriously flawed response to the topic.  The writer begins by discussing school violence and the need for a good place to study, parental and teacher influence, and resolution of school problems.  The issue of who should determine the curriculum, teachers or students, is implied but not addressed directly.  In fact, teacher-directed learning seems to be a small point in a series of concerns related to school violence.  The development of a position on the issue is unfocused and disorganized.  Even the example, drug selling, relates to school violence and not to curricular responsibility.

Language errors are numerous.  Problems with correct use of tense, diction, word order, sentence structure, and subject-verb agreement also interfere with meaning.  Had the writer not included references to teachers helping students know what to study, the essay would probably have received a score of 1 instead of a 2.

篇5:GRE写作:写作的技巧

GRE写作:写作模板的技巧

针对ISSUE,不用说太多,和托福的AGREE OR DISAGREE差不多,到时候随便说说就可以弄到相当可观的字数,而且,45分钟,绰绰有余。当然,如果想拿高分,就要在这个基础上,积累一点词汇和好的句子,其实也不难,多准备2天我觉得就可以了。

针对ARGU,这个开始我觉得很难,大家不要害怕,其实,这个比上一个要简单很多,只要你熟悉了路子。ETS出题很有限,我建议大家不要盲目先写,看看题目,自己想一想,然后找相对应的范文,在没有时间的情况下,认真看10篇就可以了,最多用2个小时。

剩下的工作,就是练习GRE作文模板,我考试之前用了3个小时练习,反复敲,因为我打字不快,所以要反复练习,事实证明,这样子比仅仅用脑子背的效果好,第一个我练习了10遍,第二个没有时间了,就练习了5遍。我建议大家至少练习10遍,然后就可以信心十足去考试了。

总结一下,有关于作文,是一个长期提高的过程,临时抱佛脚是很无奈的,不过,确实事半功倍,希望对大家短期准备或者长期准备的,都有帮助,大家也可以自己制作自己的模版,那样子更加深刻。

GRE写作满分范文赏析

“The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.”

There are some who would say that the media reflects the values of society. I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society. The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace. I offer two examples that serve well to illistrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral fibers in our society.

The first medium that comes to mind is music. Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, and express new attiudes. Music is widely available to almost everyone in our society. To see how music has changed the values of our society, one needs only to look to the urban sprawl. Rap and gangsta styles of music reach millions of city teens and young adults. It's message is quite simple- violence, drugs, and sex . Young people are constantly bombarded with the message that if you want something all you have to do is to take it. The values of human life, respect for elders and children have been lost. We have gangs and random killings in the streets of most cities in our country. Are these my values? They are most certainly not. This music does not reflect the values of this society. This music is the very core of this degradation of our values. How many tricked out gang cars to you see that don't have the annoying bass rumble of Rap music vibrating out of them? This music is part of the persona of a whole generation of people. It is just as much a part of their ego as the guns, drugs, and abuse of women. Another medium that is shaping the values of our society is advertising.

Advertising is everywhere, on T.V., billboards, radio, even at the ballpark. Through advertising some vendors can create “values”. To illuminate my point I will use tobacco companies as an example. Joe Camel has convinced millions of young people that it is cool to smoke. The Marlboro man has done the same. The audience is always the same. These ads are targeting young people. They have created the “value” among children that it is ok for kids to smoke. Again the values of society have been changed by a powerful media. I'm sure there are not too many parents out there who would want their children to start smoking. Another advertising media that will surely change the values of ous society is the Internet.

The internet is really just the world's largest commercial launched under the veil of access of useful information. It will be interesting to see just how this new network that has brought the world together will affect our values. These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illistrate that the media can in fact change our values. As for me, I'll be out back smoking a Don Lino, on a beautiful trout stream while sipping a cold beer, waiting for the trout to rise and hoping a couple of those girls from the Coors commercial show up.

This is a well-developed response. The four-paragraph organizational structure serves as a useful framework for the writer to develop a position on the issue.

The opening paragraph presents the writer's position (“media in fact tend to create values in a society”) and announces the plan to present two examples to support that position.

“The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.”

For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. For the baby boomers it was a result of television and revolutionary music. No matter how the impact took place, it is clear that since its very advent, the media have played a crucial role in not simply being representative of the values of our society but creating them as well.

During the roaring twenties Americans found themselves in a struggle between the old ways of their ancestors and the new ways of the future. The once steadfast beliefs that men and women should not touch while dancing, and that ladies should not drink or smoke were suddenly being challenged. From where was all this rebellion stemming? Partly it was due to the returning doughboys from the shores of Europe bringing home revolutionary ideas they had encountered while at war. Nonetheless, returning soldiers could not be held responsible for the social upheaval that America experienced. There had to be another cause, and there was, the media. Although the films of the era were silent they spoke volumes to the society for which they were created. Women in these movies wore their hemlines a few inches shorter than the decade before them and they wore cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts. The movies, as well as the books of that era, demonstrated a new materialistic attitude that America had never before experienced. Films portrayed every character as having the money to buy a new car, drink, smoke and partake in the leisures of life, a philosophy that was soon adopted by the youth of the decade. The use of the media in the twenties was to serve as a catalyst for the revolutionary ideas that were circulating. The films and books of that era sped America along its path of change that eventually led to the greatest social unrest that the United States had ever known.

Unlike the twenties, the sixties and seventies utalized the media in a way that appealed to those searching for truth in a lost and confused world. Martin Luther King Jr. realized the impact of the media on society during his campaign for civil rights. King urged his followers to withstand any abuse that they might encounter because the media will take their peacefulness into the homes of their society. By doing so, King sucessfully began to change the traditional view of race. Americans began to sympathize with the protesters because of the undeserved turmoil they faced at the hands of the government. As a result, America relinquished the Jim Crow laws and saw many other groups press for their individual rights as well. Television cameras rolled as Cesar Chavez organized the migrant workers in California and as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinham linked arms to protest the lack of women's rights.

While the media helped to shape some attitudes about racism and gender it also helped to uncover the truth behind government lies. During the Nixon

Comments:

This is an outstanding response, even though it is not quite finished. The writer's views on the issue are so cogent, well articulated, and well developed that the writer was not penalized for failing to provide a conclusion. What matters is the quality of thinking and writing displayed, not whether a paper is totally finished or has a certain number of words.

The writer's skill is apparent in the opening lines. The first words, “For our grandparents it occurred,” immediately spark the reader's interest.

GRE写作:高分技巧

1. 熟练掌握新GRE写作题库:

为了达到公平,ETS公布了它考试的所有写作题库,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。对题库中的题目越熟练,对考试越有利。

2. 新GRE写作迎合评卷人的评卷思路:

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写作的评分注重三方面

首先,从ETS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)。

4. 尽量提高AI部分的写作能力而力保AA部分满分

由于AA的写作不牵涉自己观点的展开,只须指出作者逻辑上的漏洞,因此在经过训练以后,写起来并不困难;而AI的写作需要自己展开自己设立的观点,不但需要逻辑上的洞察能力,还需要论证观点的能力,语言组织的能力,因此对于中国考生来讲比较困难,难以短期内有较大提高。

GRE写作满分范文赏析

The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.

“Five years ago, we residents of Morganton voted to keep the publicly owned piece of land known as Scott Woods in a natural, undeveloped state. Our thinking was that, if no shopping centers or houses were built there, Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as a natural parkland. But now that our town planning committee wants to purchase the land and build a school there, we should reconsider this issue. If the land becomes a school site, no shopping centers or houses can be built there, and substantial acreage英亩数,面积would probably be devoted to athletic fields. There would be no better use of land in our community than this, since a large majority of our children participate in sports, and Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as natural parkland.”

This letter to the editor begins by stating the reasons the residents of Morganton voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state. The letter states that the entire community could benefit from an undeveloped parkland. The residents of the town wanted to ensure that no shopping centers or houses would be built there. This, in turn, would provide everyone in the community with a valuable resource, a natural park.

The letter then continues by addressing the issue of building a school on the land. The author reasons that this would also benefit the entire community as a natural parkland since much of the land would be devoted to athletic fields. The author of the letter comes to the conclusion that building a school on the land would be the best thing for everyone in the community.

This letter is a one-sided argument about the best use of the land known as Scott Woods. The author may be a parent whose child would benefit from a new school, a teacher who thinks a school would boost the community, or just a resident of Morganton. Regardless of who the author is, there are many aspects of this plan that he or she has overlooked or chosen to ignore.

Using a piece of land to build a school is not the same thing as using it for a natural parkland. While all the members of the community could potentially benefit from a parkland, only a percentage of the population would realistically benefit from a new school. The author fails to recognize people like the senior citizens of the community. What interest do they have in a new school? It only means higher taxes for them to pay. They will likely never to and utilize the school for anything. On the other hand, anyone can go to a park and enjoy the natural beauty and peacefulness. The use of the land for a school would destroy the benefit of a park for everyone. In turn, it would supply a school only to groups of people in exactly the right age range, not too young or too old, to reap the benefits.

Another point the author stresses is that the use of the land for things like athletic fields somehow rationalizes the destruction of the park. What about children who don't play sports? Without the school, they could enjoy the land for anything. A playing field is a playing field. Children are not going to go out there unless they are into sports. There are many children in schools who are not interested in or are not able to play sports. This is yet another group who will be left out of the grand benefits of a school that the author talks about.

The author's conclusion that “there would be no better use of land in our community than this...”“is easily arguable. The destruction of Scott Woods for the purpose of building a school would not only affect the ambience of Morganton, it would affect who would and would not be able to utilize the space. If the residents as a whole voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state, this argument will not sway their decision. The use of the land for a school will probably benefit even less people than a shopping center would. The whole purpose of the vote was to keep the land as an asset for everyone. The only way to do this is to keep it in an undeveloped state. Using the land for a school does not accomplish this.

Comments:

This outstanding response begins somewhat hesitantly; the opening paragraphs summarize but do not immediately engage the argument. However, the subsequent paragraphs target the central flaws in the argument and analyze them in almost microscopic detail.

The writer's main rebuttal points out that ”using a piece of land to build a school is not the same thing as using it for natural parkland.“ Several subpoints develop this critique, offering perceptive reasons to counter the argument's unsubstantiated assumptions. This is linked to a related discussion that pointedly exposes another piece of faulty reasoning: that using land for athletic fields ”rationalizes the destruction of the park.“

The extensively developed and organically organized analysis continues into a final paragraph that takes issue with the argument's conclusion that ”there would be no better use of land in our community than this.“

Diction and syntax are varied and sophisticated, and the writer is fully in control of the standard conventions. While there may be stronger papers that merit a score of 6, this response demonstrates insightful analysis, cogent development, and mastery of writing. It clearly earns a 6.

”The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.“

The media is important and there are commercials for business reasons and news and entertainment.

For media to become mainstream, it must appeal to many people. The values expressed must be attractive to the audience, otherwise it will not sell. Example of specific media - Televison:

Television rates each show by the number of viewers. Shows that do not have a large audience are usually cancelled and then they can allow time for a new show. Successful shows are duplicated. For example, Star Trek was successful so it is the creation of many new Star Trek shows (Deep Space Nine, Voyager). Veiwers decide which shows stay or leave. What makes a successful or unsuccessful show? Usually if the audience can identify with an actor, or situation, etc. the show will gain popularity. Special effects make shows more interesting; but, if the plot is not acceptable, the show is usually doomed.

Comments:

This response does not analyze the issue. Unlike many other essays at the 1 score level, this response is fairly easy to read and has, more or less, an overall coherence. The writer's position is that media have to ”appeal to many people“ in order ”to become mainstream,\" and the brief discussion supports that position. This response was scored a 1 because it does not address the basic issue presented in the topic: do the media create or reflect the values of a society?

篇7:GRE写作issue技巧

GRE写作issue技巧分享

1. 写作宗旨

“老美是一个崇尚自由,个性,创造力,个人能力的国家,所以我们的立题最后也是偏向这一方面。从的出题倾向中可以很明显的感觉到这种偏好。对于很肯定的题目,不要脚踩两只船,要有自己鲜明的观点!(我觉得凭自己的水平是写不好两边都讨好的题目的,所以与其攻其十指,不如伤其一指。)

论点不要重复题目。由于我有时候找不出什么论点了,会把题目的再重复一遍,所以也想提醒一下和自己有相同毛病的g友,不要犯同样的错误。其实有时候可以把题目再读一遍,你就会有新的发现。”

2. 如何审题

“题目中的话说到绝对的,就diagree。比如题目中有这些词的as long as,anything,everything,all,only,我们可以把它们作为一个论点进行攻击,这是很容易找到反例的。我考试的时候就遇到了这样的情况:题目是:Practicality is now our GREat idol,which all powers and talents must serve. Anything that is not obviously practical has little value in today s world.可以看到题目中有三处很绝对的地方(all,anything,little ),一一反驳就是三个论点了。

题目对X.X不满,就agree。这种题目一般很明显的可以察觉到出题者的意图,所以你就跟着他不满。

若有比较,就顺着agree。题目中会出现诸如as...more...than...这样的词,看到了,你也可以顺着他的意思同意。

题目会很明显的提示你从哪些方面来写,比如说:In any realm of life--whether academic,social,business, or political--the only way to succeed is to take a practical,rather than an idealistic,point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival,whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler,more immediate options.你可以看到破折号里面的academic,social,business,or political,所以你就跟着他一个个举例子。”

3. 例子

“第一种是经典型:比如说Einstein,Newton,Galileo,Edison这些科学家的例子被用的烂了,不过也不失为好东西。the earth orbiting around the sun;Copernicus,Bruno等等。Picasso,Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky,Nixon Watergate等。

第二种是时尚型:为了与众不同,胜人一筹可以找一些新的例子。比如文艺类的,电影Matrix,可以用于arts;the project of Three gorges;High speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai;可以用于政治类的政府决策方面。以及写道Scandal时,Tony Blair和那个倒霉的武器核查专家也可以用。还有Iraq和USA的战争,朝鲜的核弹问题,都可以从不同侧面来分析。

我在准备过程中,每天看看yahoo网站的英语新闻,这样,不但可以了解最新的实事,练练泛读,还可以看到很多现代美语的用法以及一些不知道怎么表达的专业词汇,得益非浅。”

作文引用注意要点

1. 内容与GRE作文范文高度相似

官方说明:“text that is substantially similar to that found in one or more other GRE essay responses.”

每年的GRE考生们,为了更好的准备作文部分,会背诵大量的范围,学习和借鉴其中出彩的表达,但是千万注意,学习好词好句,不代表整段直接照搬到考卷上。

2. 部分句子来源于出版或未出版资料

官方说明:“quoting or paraphrasing,without attribution,language or ideas that appear in published or unpublished sources.”

大家若在一些材料中看到了一些词句并且想要在考试的时候引用,一定要正确的做注释,这一点非常的重要。

3. 观点来自他人

官方说明:“essays that are submitted as work of the examinee when the ideas or words have,in fact,been borrowed from elsewhere or prepared by another person.”

写作时的观点,一定要注意不能是与已存在的论点十分相似的,要基于自己的理解,给出和论点紧密联系的论据以支撑。

GRE写作如何运用简约的方法

(一)举例论证法举例论证法:

简称例证法,是根据需要例举一定的事实来证明观点正确的方法。事实要求充分、确凿、有代表根据性。

例1:(2006南京艺术学院附属中学有删改)资讯时代是为能运用资讯的人而预备的。那些把一切资料的碎片都当做资讯的人不可能正确的运用资讯;那些把一切有用和无用的东西都往脑袋里塞的人也不可能成功运用资讯。只有对你真正有意义的资料才称得上资其他的都是垃圾,只会让你更加无知。也许我们都有过这样的“超载健忘症”,听完一场毫无意义的演讲,我们不仅没有记住一个字,反而连车停在什么地方都忘了。

问题:文中运用了什么论证方法?起到了怎样的作用?

参考答案:举例论证法。举到了“超载健忘症”的例子。其作用是:证明了滥取资讯的严重后果(危害)

例2、(2006海南省课改试验区有删改)歌德用了差不多半生的精力学画无成,面对人生的不断碰壁,及时调整了人生目标,在文学道路上做出一番成就。孙中山青年时悬壶行医,最后发现治一人并不能救社会,于是转而投身革命,终于成就了令世人敬佩的伟业。无数成功的例子告诉我们,成功者是在不断的实践中发现了成功的道路,并不是一开始就站到了正确的起点上。因此,我们不要盲目地相信自己的兴趣,不要绝对依赖自己的感觉,而要尽可能多地尝试各种各样的发展道路,与时俱进地调整自己的努力方向。(的中心论点是发现自己才能选择正确的道路,才能实现个人的最大价值)

问题:本段用了什么论证方法,作用是什么?

参考答案:举例论证法(例证法)。作用是用该事例论证了成功者是在不断实践的过程中发现成功的道路的,因此我们要在实践中学会尝试各种发展道路,并与时俱进的调整自己的努力方向。举例论证法的作用:事实胜于雄辩,用确凿、典型的事实来证明观点,会增强文章的说服力。

(二)引用论证法引用论证法:

简称引证法,是引用正确的科学原理,马克思主义经典著作中的精辟见解、古今中外的名言警句以及人们认定的定理公式来证明论点。

例1、(2006 随州市有删改)古人说:“尽信书,不如无书”。读书的终极目的,是要把“死”书读活,让书发挥作用。“死”“活”之间,相互为用,相互补充。我们强调读“死” 书,但又不拘泥于读“死”书。“死”与“活”,都是对人而言的。人要书“死”,书就“死”;人要书“活”,书就“活”。这就叫“运用之妙,存乎一心”。善读书者,手中都有一把打开书籍奥秘的金钥匙。书籍是死的,金钥匙却是活的。“死”与“活”的关系,大概有如书籍与金钥匙的关系,我们先要有书籍,然后金钥匙才能发挥作用。只有漂亮的金钥匙,又有什么用处?因此,谈读书,就得先读书。

题目:语段使用了引用论证法,请你把它找出来,并说明它的作用。

参考答案:古人说:“尽信书,不如无书”,作用是引用古语阐明了“死”,“活”之间,不是绝对孤立的,有相互为用,相互补充的关系。作用:用权威性的话语,使说理更加深刻、透彻、具有说服力,着力体现理论的力量和文章的思想深度。

(三)比喻论证法比喻论证法:

简称喻证法,用人们熟知的事物来作比喻证明观点。

(2006年百色市)人生什么事最苦呢?贫吗?不是。失意吗?不是。老吗?死吗?都不是。我说人生最苦的事,莫若身上背着一种未了的责任。人若能知足,虽贫不苦;若能安分(不多作分外希望),虽失意不苦;老、死乃是人生难免的事,达观的人看得很平常,也不算什么苦。独是凡人生在世间一天,便有应该做的事。该做的事没有做完,便像是有几千斤重担压在肩头,再苦是没有的了。为什么呢?因为受那良心责备不过,要逃躲也没处逃躲呀!(这篇文章的中心论点是人生最苦的事,莫若身上背着一种未了的责任。)

问题:这段文字运用了什么论证方法来证明中心论点的?其作用是什么?

参考答案:比喻论证法(喻证法)

“该做的事没有做完,便像是有几千斤重担压在肩头”生动形象地表现出人生最苦的事,莫若身上背着一种未了的责任。比喻论证法的作用:深入浅出,生动形象地证明观点,使观点更为清晰,读者更易理解。

(四)、对比论证法对比论证法:

将一个事物的正反意见或优劣情况进行对照分析来证明论点的方法。

例:(2006江苏省盐城市有删改)陶渊明不为五斗米折腰,李白不摧眉折腰事权贵,顾炎武不做清朝的高官,……古今有志气、有骨气的人,都不以高官厚禄为荣,居下有节,自强不息。他们的高尚品质永远为后世传诵。相反,那些曾荣耀一时、富贵一生的人,现在却早已被时间的长河冲刷得无影无踪了。

问题:这一段除了运用举例论证法之外,还运用了哪种论证方法?其作用是什么?

参考答案:对比论证法,作用是:通过正反对比使论证更加周密,更加深刻。对比论证法的作用:可以使正确与错误对比分明,是非曲直更加明确,给人以鲜明深刻的印象。
