逻辑思维能力的第二步就是怎么写好中间这部分。开头挺好写的,好多同学直接照着题目抄,这大可不必,也挺愚蠢的。GRE作文题目也是可以抄的,但是你最好还是自己写。千篇一律只有几种开头的方法:1。说大话开头法:开头就是一个宏伟的概括;2。幽默一点的开头法。3。从自我经历写起。. check 1point3acres for more.
下面我们来具体讲一下中间应该怎么写。.
首先来讲一下,写这三个理由要避免的几点:. 1point 3 acres
* 避免观点重复;不要讲了几遍其实都是一个理由。当你一点就能说明的时候,非要讲三遍就显的有点STUPID了。你要从多个方面来讲道理,而且要尽量把问题具体化。.1point3acres
* 避免观点的庸俗化,并考虑美国人能否接受的问题。比如说要避免对任何宗教词批判太多。因为你永远搞不懂给你判分的是信什么教的。不能批判任何政治理想。不能贬低自己所在的国家。美国人最讨厌不爱自己国家的人。避免观点的庸俗化,就是我们说的有些东西可以想,但是不能写出来GRE作文逻辑思路分为两种。一种是问题发挥型,一种是argument/争论型。
对于问题发挥型题目,你怎么发挥,怎么犯逻辑错误都没有问题,只要你能保证你观点的正确,并能用具体的事实证明你的观点。而对于 argument/争论 型题目就不同了。它的出题方式是给你一段话,这段话后再给出一个总结。然后让你挑出它的逻辑错误。需要你作的是**它的结论或者对其加以补充。你只要拿出三点理由把它**就行了。这三点理由从哪里找呢,从文章里面找,从文章的周边关系找,从文章的背后找。
下面举一个例子:现在有一种计算机仪表设备,把它安在商用飞机上之后就必然能避免飞机在空中的碰撞。因为一架飞机发出碰撞信号后,另一架飞机就能接收这个信号并及时采取行动,从而避免飞机碰撞。.
这里结论就是飞机必然能避免碰撞。你要做的就是**这个结论。它的因果关系是因为安装了仪表所以能够避免碰撞。你要说的是安装了仪表不一定能避免碰撞。现在你就要找出3点理由来。
1. 文章中没有任何统计数据告诉我们飞机的碰撞百分之百是商用飞机,因此如果避免碰撞,就要在所有飞行物上安装这种仪表。
2. 安装了仪表后,是否需要人来操作。如果是,那么因为有人的原因,就不能避免碰撞。
3. 要是这个仪表系统坏了。
4. 也没有谈到气候问题,卫星干扰问题等干扰因素……
所以Argument文章不需要你有文采,也不需要你有多么好的句子结构,它只是要求你的逻辑没有漏洞。
大家有时间的话务必把AI的提纲都列掉,然后挑重复率高的写。比如ISSUE里面有一道The greatest indicator of a nation....。另外有一点很重要的是,特别是对于A大家在写完几篇文章以后,尽快归纳出针对每一个instruction的模板,question这种可以写成一类,然后背出来。其实老G和新G的区别就在于,老G是一套模板走天下,新G准备4个模板,就这么简单。以后自己联系的时候,就根据模板来套,写到后来你会发现,你写出来的文章,不管题目怎么换,写出来的东西看起来都一样,这样Argument算基本练成了。模板最好自己写,根据头几篇写的文章来归纳,比如说我关于specific evidence这种题型,自己归纳的模板就是:6 k2 P1 W2 }% N& h! _
The argument is well presented and appears to be relatively sound at the first glance,the author concludes that__________. However, a close scrutiny about the argument will reveal that several specific evidences should be added in order to make the argument to be more cogent and convincing, for example:_________

Secondly, in order to______, we should also be informed that_______. In the argument, the author only said that__________. It may undermine the argument that if-_______. Without knowing_______, we can hardly accept the conclusion that______
Third, the author should eliminate the disturbance of other factors, for example, he should provide evidences that _______. Perhaps_____ or perhaps________. Either of these scenarios, if true, would cast serious doubt on the author’s claim. Without accounting for all other explanations, the arguer can’t reasonably conclude that___________1 o# z; y4 m" l+ O; E2 D6 e . 1point 3 acres
To sum up, the argument is far from powerful enough to substantiate that______________ Before any final decisions are made about_____________, much more specific evidences are to be put forward to make the author’s argument more forceful and cogent.( A/ g$ r( r- ?$ V0 A
0 V/ S' G& T& F7 O) I2 V; L
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
话题还是回到准备A的过程上,当你归纳出模板以后,接下来要做的事情就很简单了,找到新老题库的对应表,然后自己照着新题库一题一题地把提纲列出来,不会的看一下老题是怎么写的。这个时候不需要写很多文章,只是归纳提纲就行,记住归纳的时候要把可能发生的情况写出来,因为到了考试的时候想不出可以rival的情况那不是悲剧了,比如这个题中的一个evidence:8 X5 u0 ^+ t t: o9 \
The reason why students choose Buckingham College.
Perhaps it has qualified teachers.
Perhaps tuition fee is lower than colleges at the same level.
等你把这两件事情都做完,A的准备就差不多了,以后就是每天花半个小时左右的时间一遍遍熟悉题库。
按照这种方法,我真正准备A的时间只有5天,后来的那段时间都只是每天花半个小时写3篇作文的提纲写的话不用太多,3-4天写一篇保持手感就行了。3 P. e5 s- v# ]2 E0 P
关于ISSUE,方法也差不多,主要的问题就是写提纲一定要仔细,把你对这个问题的观点,和引用的例子都写出来,不要想着自己能套一些Roosevelt, King什么的,想想就可以了,没有那么多例子让你套,还是要老老实实准备提纲。我写过一套完整的issue和argument的提纲,写的时候例子也放在提纲里,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。5 P/ ?% e% b: g

三.修辞学的能力
修辞学的能力也是非常重要的。比如比喻、排比等等,他们能带来力量和说服力。.google и
下面也是一些我写过的博文,希望大家支持
作文:
Argument
8. The following appeared in a memo from the director of student housing at Buckingham College. ..
To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham.". 1point3acres.com
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.
Issue
108. Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value unless it comes from someone who is an expert in that field.
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.
作文两篇感觉都不难,特别是A写的比较顺,估计可以上700字了,呵呵
关于Argument的准备我还是有一点心得的,跟大家分享一下:
大家有时间的话务必把AI的提纲都列掉,然后挑重复率高的写。比如ISSUE里面有一道The greatest indicator of a nation....。另外有一点很重要的是,特别是对于A大家在写完几篇文章以后,尽快归纳出针对每一个instruction的模板,question这种可以写成一类,然后背出来。其实老G和新G的区别就在于,老G是一套模板走天下,新G准备4个模板,就这么简单。以后自己联系的时候,就根据模板来套,写到后来你会发现,你写出来的文章,不管题目怎么换,写出来的东西看起来都一样,这样Argument算基本练成了。模板最好自己写,根据头几篇写的文章来归纳,比如说我关于specific evidence这种题型,自己归纳的模板就是:

To sum up, the argument is far from powerful enough to substantiate that______________ Before any final decisions are made about_____________, much more specific evidences are to be put forward to make the author’s argument more forceful and cogent.
.1point3acres
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,比如就今天考试这个题,我第一段大概是这么写的,因为是套的模板,所以比较好回忆:
The argument is well presented and appears to be relatively sound at the first glance; the author concludes that we should build new dormitories to satisfy the need of increasing amount of students. However, a close scrutiny about the argument will reveal that several specific evidences should be added in order to make the argument to be more cogent and convincing, for example: the proportion of the students living outside the campus, the price of living in dormitory and apartment, and the main reason why perspective students choose to apply for the Buckingham College.Then I will discuss about them one by one.
把需要增加的evidence在第一段写一下,一来是个很好的凑字数的方法,二来可以让考官在看你第一段以后就知道你要讲什么,要知道老外不像中国人喜欢弯弯绕绕,他们更喜欢开门见山的直白方式。. 1point3acres.com
按照这种写法,我在前10分钟内打出了三分之二屏的东西,估计也有快300字了吧。有了大致的框架,写下去就比较顺手了,考试的时候写完文章时间还有5分钟,我又加了一个逻辑错误:作者并没有给出证据说在接下来的50年里人数一直会增加,近期的申请者剧增的理由可能是因为周围学校的学费涨了,而一旦BC的学费也涨价,申请者可能会仍然跟往年持平。在第一段里先说一句总结,然后再加上一段就可以了。由于只有5分钟,因此写得比较简单,也就100个字左右了吧。
话题还是回到准备A的过程上,当你归纳出模板以后,接下来要做的事情就很简单了,找到新老题库的对应表,然后自己照着新题库一题一题地把提纲列出来,不会的看一下老题是怎么写的。这个时候不需要写很多文章,只是归纳提纲就行,记住归纳的时候要把可能发生的情况写出来,因为到了考试的时候想不出可以rival的情况那不是悲剧了,比如这个题中的一个evidence:
The reason why students choose Buckingham College. . 1point 3 acres
Perhaps it has qualified teachers.
Perhaps tuition fee is lower than colleges at the same level.
等你把这两件事情都做完,A的准备就差不多了,以后就是每天花半个小时左右的时间一遍遍熟悉题库。
按着这种方法,我是7.10开始准备A的,当时真正全力准备Argument的时间只用了5天,5天里面每天写3-4篇A,然后归纳模板,改正模板。到了7.15,我写出来的东西就跟刚才贴的差不多了,从7.15到昨天,我做的仅仅就是每天半小时写提纲,一天大概写个3篇左右吧,写完一遍之后又花了二十天左右的时间重新看了一遍。写的话不用太多,3-4天写一篇保持手感就行了。. .и
关于ISSUE,方法也差不多,主要的问题就是写提纲一定要仔细,把你对这个问题的观点,和引用的例子都写出来,不要想着自己能套一些Roosevelt, King什么的,想想就可以了,没有那么多例子让你套,还是要老老实实准备提纲。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。
(在准备过程中我写出了整套详细的中文GRE issue和argument的提纲,现在考完了开了家小店,低价出售之。各位别见怪,毕竟这也是我的心血。 ..

Verbal:
其实前面做下来都比较顺,做倒长阅读。。悲剧了。。花了5分钟看文章,但是完全没看懂在讲什么,最后蒙了4个题,8分钟啊。。就蒙了4个题上面了。。。然后严重影响后面的心情。我想说文学评论的文章对于工科学生来说实在难度比较大。另外想提一点的就是6选2,做模考的时候那几个题基本没错过,但是考试时候就不行,感觉单词不难,但是逻辑比较复杂。大家不要轻视了才好。整场考试中我没有遇到一个句子点选题和单词解释题,不知道怎么回事。还有逻辑题,感觉比PP2简单不少,至少题目比较容易理解了。
最后想提一点的就是,考新G的孩纸们千万不要轻视单词的背诵。从开始准备GRE到昨天,我估计刷了有40遍红宝吧,有些人说新3000很好用,其实推荐大家可以再背红宝之前背3000,因为老的红宝好多意思都是错误的或者不全面,以至于当背到以前背过的单词,但是新3000给的意思完全不同的时候,不会感觉是当做新词来背。VERBAL要取得好成绩,6选2的题绝对要拿下。.google и
Q:我加试的是Q,感觉Q做得比较顺手吧。新G的Q真的不难,没必要害怕。只不过第一个Q有个题,是9行4列36entry,电脑随机在每行抽一个,第一列最多,问第一列最少是几。看了半天没看懂问题啥意思,别的挺简单,也没有考到排列组合或者正态分布,百分位的题。另外想提一点就是大家不要忽视了数学词汇的积累,比如今天出现一个单词reciproical,考完跟大家交流的时候发现很多人就没理解这个单词是倒数的意思。还有range这个词,今年6G也出现过吧,意思是值域。
