如何攻克GRE写作难关

GRE写作备考经验:模仿别人的优秀文章

他山之玉,可以攻石。模仿是最好的快速提升进步的学习方法。从别人的文章中了解写作思路,学习写作技巧,发现一些精彩的好词好句,对于提高自身水平会有很大帮助。

模仿需要注意以下几点

1.要有可以模仿的文章(最好是带有说理性的文章)

2.要理解这篇文章,理解它的用词、句子结构、段落结构

3.这些文章最好具备正确的中文翻译和适当的文章长度

具体做法:首先分析文章,分析每一句和上一句的关系。美国人写作文的一个特点是,通常每段的第一句就包含整段文字的内容,也就是我们常说的topic sentence。另一个特点是当你写完一个句子后,你要多问为什么。提出一个问题,然后给出一个圆满的回答,这就是一篇优秀的作文。太傻教育助您突破GRE考试瓶颈,短期备考拿高分!

GRE写作备考经验:提高逻辑思维能力

逻辑思维能力是GRE写作考察的重点,清晰的文章结构框架,合理严密的论述,都能看出考生的逻辑思维能力。所以,真正写的时候,先把第一段和最后一段都写了,然后每段写个第一句,列出框架。最好能在第一段把你要写的内容都先简要概括一下。最后自己再总结一下这个框架的逻辑结构,看看有没有什么问题。这样可以让自己的作文体现出较为清晰的结构框架,展现你的逻辑思维能力。

关于ISSUE,方法也差不多,需要注意写提纲时的仔细性,建议大家把对问题的观点和引用的例子都写出来,准备好写作提纲。写的例子要放在提纲里,ISSUE跟A也一样,写完一遍提纲,自己重新看,到最后就是训练自己看到一个题,在2分钟以内迅速组织出一个比较详细的提纲。这样ISSUE的准备也就差不多了。太傻教育助力GRE考试高分!

GRE写作备考经验:自我修改

练习作文不能写过就算,经常性的回顾并修改一下自己以前写过的文章,可以帮助自己发现以前没注意到的各种漏洞和不足。埋头狂写,只能导致lose the stake! 在认真学习一段时间的写作后,再回头修改自己最初的作文,肯定会发现很多的毛病,在巩固学习的同时也能够看到自己的进步,建立起足够的自信和心理优势!

GRE写作备考经验:研究范文

无论哪种作文考试,参考范文永远都是最权威可靠的辅导参考资料。所以,对于范文,不要简单熟读和背诵就草草了事,而要逐字逐句体会作者意思及修辞,才能发挥出范文最好的效果。ETS出品的各种官方指南,对于范文的点评都是非常精辟到位的,强烈推荐大家参考一下!钻研透彻会非常有利于理解考试所考的重点和难点。

GRE写作备考经验:熟能生巧

练习的最终目的是为了形成惯性思维,条件反射。因为实际考试的时间真的是非常紧张。要想克服心理压力,现场思考每句话的调理性绝非易事。特别是下笔的时候十指纷飞,远远超过大脑的运转速度。这种时候只有思维上做好充分准备的人,才能驾轻就熟,运用自如。题目中提到politics,大脑中就应当出现Franklin Roosevelt, Lincoln, Gerhard Shroeder, Gandhi……; 提到ART,脑海中就应该条件反射的立刻想到Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Starry night, night watch, Henmingway, the old man and the sea等内容。提到Scandal,就该想到Nixon,watergate,bill clinton,sex sandal,Enran等内容。总之,熟练很重要,熟能生巧才是王道。太傻教育助您突破GRE考试瓶颈,短期备考拿高分。

GRE写作:有用的关键词汇及短语汇总

很多同学即便单词都会记住了,依然不知道用什么词,至少不能短期反应过来,因为你脑中有太浩瀚的非应用性词汇,一定要在脑子里还要有一个写作词库。下面列举一部分,很适合各个梯度的考试的写作用词,第一,直接面向常用的高频意思表达,第二,更加地道。

我平时仍然坚持读报纸或者书籍时刻积累我将来自己写作时可以用到的词汇,这个建议希望大家不光是在应试英语的时候很应试的去这样做,应当养成一种习惯,你会发现,几乎所有同学的写作或者口语问题,都是不知道用哪个词,不知道用什么词,并不是语法问题,逻辑问题,那么把那些浩瀚的词库(例如四级要求4500,考研要求6500,托福要求8000,GRE要求12000)加以应用化,精简化,因为很多同学即便单词都会记住了,依然不知道用什么词,至少不能短期反应过来,因为你脑中有太浩瀚的非应用性词汇,一定要在脑子里还要有一个写作词库。下面列举一部分,很适合各个梯度的考试的写作用词,第一,直接面向常用的高频意思表达,第二,更加地道。

GRE写作官方题库高频ARGUMENT题目满分范文分享:install low-flow showerheads

GRE作文官方题库ARGUMENT题目:

The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment building to its manager:

"One month ago, all the showerheads on the first five floors of Sunnyside Towers were modified to restrict the water flow to approximately 1/3 of its original force. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. Clearly, restricting water flow throughout all the 20 floors of Sunnyside Towers will increase our profits further."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

【满分范文赏析】

In this letter, the owner of an apartment building concludes that low-flow showerheads should be installed in showers on all 20 floors of the building in order to increase profits. To support this conclusion, the owner cites the fact that since installing low-flow heads in showers on the bottom five floors only a few tenants have complained about low water pressure, and that no other problems with showers have been reported. However, this evidence provides little credible support for the owner's argument.

【本段结构】

本文采用了标准的Argument开头段结构,即C—A—F的开头结构。本段首先概括原文的Conclusion,之后简要提及原文为支持其结论所引用的一系列Assumption及细节,最后给出开头段到正文段的过渡句,指出原文的Flaw,即这些Assumption无法让原文逻辑上没有问题。

【本段功能】

作为Argument开头段,本段具体功能就在于发起攻击并概括原文的结论,即为了提高利润,公寓楼所有的水龙头都应该采用节水淋浴喷头。本段接下来提到了原文中为支持之前的Conclusion所提供的证据,包括在安装了这些淋浴喷头之后仅有很少的房客抱怨,同时这些淋浴喷头没有出现问题。文章提及这些信息,为是在正文段中对这些Assumption即将进行的具体攻击做铺垫。

In the first place, the argument depends on the assumption that installation of low-flow heads on the first five floors has resulted in lower water costs for the owner. However, this need not be the case. It is equally possible that tenants on these floors compensate for lower flow by either taking longer showers, which would cause the overall water use to stay the same, or even increase. It is even possible that during the month since installation many of the tenants on the bottom five floors have been absent from the building. This could explain why, if it is true, that less water has been used over this brief period. And it would also explain why few tenants have complained.

【本段结构】

本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即先是提及原文的第一个逻辑错误,之后分析该逻辑错误的原因,接下来,进一步分析这样的错误为什么让原文的Conclusion不成立。

【本段功能】

作为正文第一段,本段攻击原文所犯的第一个重要逻辑错误——因果类错误。原文当中假设,得益于这些节水淋浴喷头,用水量能够减少。但是,可能存在其他因素使得这一结果不会发生,甚至用水量会上升。或者,即便用水量的确下降了,这也可能是因为其他因素而非节水淋浴喷头所导致。因此原文的这个假设是不成立的。

In the second place, the owner ignores possible indirect consequences of installing low-flow showerheads on all 20 floors. For example, the more low-flow installations there are, the more likely that one or more tenants will become disgruntled and vacate as a result. In fact, the owner has admitted that at least a few tenants have complained about these new showerheads. High tenant turnover might very well serve to increase the owner's overall operating costs.

【本段结构】

本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即先是提及原文的第二个逻辑错误,之后分析该逻辑错误的原因,接下来,进一步分析这样的错误为什么让原文的Conclusion不成立。

【本段功能】

作为正文第二段,本段攻击原文所犯的第二个重要逻辑错误——类比类错误。原文假设目前为止很少有人抱怨,这代表在今后所有的楼层都安装了这种淋浴喷头后,也会很少有人抱怨,然而事实可能恰好相反。因此,原文的这个假设是没有说服力的。

In the third place, in order to reasonably conclude that low-flow heads will reduce total water usage in the building the owner must assume that other water uses will remain constant in the future. However, this will not necessarily be the case. Perhaps the water supplier will raise rates, or perhaps other tenants who use more water will replace current tenants. Without ruling out such possibilities the owner cannot justifiably conclude that his total water costs will decrease after installing low-flow heads in every shower.

【本段结构】

本段采用了标准的Argument正文段结构,即先是提及原文的第三个逻辑错误,之后分析该逻辑错误的原因,接下来,进一步分析这样的错误为什么让原文的Conclusion不成立。

【本段功能】

作为正文第三段,本段攻击原文所犯的第三个重要逻辑错误——因果类错误。原文假设因为这种淋浴喷头能够节省用水,将所有的楼层都更换了这种喷头后,整个楼层的用水量就会下降。但是,原文作者忽略了其他的可能导致用水量上升的因素。所以,原文的这个观点是不能让人信服的。
