GRE寫作:必備的高分技巧

gre作文評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(重要性依次遞減)

A 6 paper presents a cogent, well-articulated analysis of the complexities of the issue and conveys meaning skillfully.

A typical paper in this category:

presents an insightful position on the issue;

develops the position with compelling reasons and/or persuasive examples;

sustains a well-focused, well-organized analysis, connecting ideas logically;

expresses ideas fluently and precisely, using effective vocabulary and sentence variety;

demonstrates facility with the conventions(i.e., grammar, usage, and mechanics) of standard written English but may have minor errors.

1. complexity:事物的兩面性(同一事物有優(yōu)點(diǎn)就有缺點(diǎn),相比較的事物有各自的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)),從多角度分析事物(分析不同領(lǐng)域中,不同情況下)。論點(diǎn)一邊倒的文章論述得再好也只能得5分。

2.insightful position:在有全面深刻理解的基礎(chǔ)上,觀點(diǎn)最好新穎獨(dú)到(對ets來說),但必須保證能自圓其說。5分文的要求是well-considered position,因此只要求多論述幾個理由,多考慮幾個方面,表明你確實(shí)好好思考過,而不強(qiáng)求對論述題目有全面深刻的認(rèn)識??纯磂ts范文的3篇5分文,你就能感覺的它們和6分文在思考深刻全面上的差距。

所以,若對某方面論題不了解,還有一個月就要上考場的話,就不必花大時間餓補(bǔ)相關(guān)知識,只需看看別人的提綱,結(jié)合自己肚里的東西(足夠),整理出自己的提綱,考場上有條理性的加以論證。但切記,既然在這個給分點(diǎn)上你已經(jīng)失去了優(yōu)勢,就應(yīng)該在其他給分點(diǎn)下功夫:論述結(jié)構(gòu),論證技巧以及語言運(yùn)用(參看本文其他部分的分析)。

3. conveys meaning skillfully:可用于論證的一切技巧(估計(jì)老美自己用起來也得費(fèi)點(diǎn)心思)。比如文章的行文方向,起承轉(zhuǎn)合不用明顯的標(biāo)志詞(first, second, however, on the other hand, the second example illustrating my point),而是依靠論述的內(nèi)在脈絡(luò)(只可意會不可言傳)自然而然的引到下一塊內(nèi)容。總之是看不到transitional phrases確能明顯感覺到論述的方向及其改變(例ets范文2, 6分文的第二段首句的作用)。

再比如巧妙地運(yùn)用引言代替自己的reason(如ets范文1的As the head once said)。再有一個深受老美喜愛的論證技巧:vivid metaphor(如ets范文1的to inspect only one's toenails is to ignore the whole body),使枯燥的reason生動形象??傊?,此點(diǎn)是用來篩選6分文的,故對5分文作者不要求。5分文的要求是conveys meaning clearly,所以把話說清楚別詞不達(dá)意,茶壺煮餃子倒不出來就行。

4. compelling reasons(reason就已經(jīng)夠令人頭疼的了,有加了個compelling):這是最重要的一個得分點(diǎn)。就是你的理由及其論證,目的是讓讀者認(rèn)可你的理由,從而接受論點(diǎn)。5分文要求logically sound reasons,結(jié)合ets范文可看出6分文要求理由非常有說服力,而5分文要求理由合常理,讀者認(rèn)為沒錯即可。

5.persuasive examples:用來支持reason的,使抽象的reason更具體,更易被讀者理解,從而產(chǎn)生共鳴,或使其更可信,更有說服力??捎玫睦佑凶约旱慕?jīng)歷,引言。在范文里Ets重點(diǎn)表揚(yáng)過兩種舉例方式:1). extended examples(見范文1, 6分文),敘述例子的過程就是reason的過程;2). examples are varied(見反問2,6分文),舉各個領(lǐng)域的例子或例子涉及的范圍很廣。

恰切的例子一定要論述充分(不然ets都替你可惜)。5分文要求well- chosen examples, 4分要求是relevant examples,因此我個人認(rèn)為,要達(dá)到5分要求,例子一定得典型,多少有點(diǎn)說服力。個人經(jīng)歷是最好的例子,但不能是特例。

6. well-focused:簡單說就是不跑題。中心論點(diǎn)明確,全文不跑題;各段主題句明確,圍繞主題句論述。使讀者讀完后對行文脈絡(luò),各段段意有清晰的印象。5分的要求是:is focused,內(nèi)容上不如6分文聯(lián)系那么緊密,但也應(yīng)給讀者留下同樣的印象

7.well-organized:文章采用的論述結(jié)構(gòu),分幾個部分論述,每部分有幾段,各部分、各段間的關(guān)系是什么。切記,每個大的論述單元后要小結(jié);全文結(jié)尾(最后一段)要對全文進(jìn)行總結(jié)延伸:不能單純的重復(fù)羅列各分論點(diǎn),要根據(jù)全文的論證脈絡(luò),把論述過的分論點(diǎn)有機(jī)的結(jié)合起來(可用一些起承轉(zhuǎn)合詞),起到深化主題的作用。

全文結(jié)尾的總結(jié)很重要,運(yùn)用好了能鬼使神差的把跑題的文章變成考慮全面,論述充分的好文(例ets范文2,6分文)。相比較下,許多人提倡的文章開頭的提綱挈領(lǐng)反倒只有壞處沒有好處:一是很容易弄的文章頭重腳輕;二是這樣做束縛了作者的手腳,后面的每一步論證都要考慮是否回應(yīng)了文首的概括,反而不能reason fluently。

三是容易弄巧成拙,本來是想讓閱卷人清晰地把握文章內(nèi)容,可他很可能會覺得你的reason不夠skillfully,而且在文章結(jié)尾的時候,得再一次總結(jié)全文(必不可少),若對英語的駕馭不是很好,很可能重復(fù)文首的那句話,這恰巧是閱卷人最善于揪的一個小辮子(可從ets范文評語中出現(xiàn)的頻率看出)。再說,能夠在開頭把文章就概括得很好對我們來說也不容易。所以,還是把精彩的放到后頭,前面簡單的表明立場即可。

8.connecting ideas logically:using transitional phrases起承轉(zhuǎn)合詞,過渡句,或有此種作用的句子,總之起到help organize the ideas and move the argument forward(摘自ets范文評語)。5分作文要求connecting ideas appropriately,個人認(rèn)為就是ets可以容忍用transitional phrases把不logical的ideas強(qiáng)行聯(lián)系到一起,起碼表面上過得去。所以,當(dāng)你覺得段與段間的內(nèi)容銜接得不順,就干脆加個明顯的起承轉(zhuǎn)合詞。

9. precisely:不要羅嗦,表達(dá)簡潔。但如果以上幾點(diǎn)做得好,這缺點(diǎn)可以忽略不計(jì)。

10. effective vocabulary:基本上挺難,但不影響大局,為避免重復(fù)大膽的用你想用的詞,閱卷人能理解。

11. sentence variety:最好長短句結(jié)合,ets藐視總用短句的人:Since most of the sentences are short and choppy, the ideas they try to communicate are also choppy(摘自ets范文1,1分文評語)。

12.還有語法錯誤等等,小毛病,先把上面的問題解決好在理它吧。

最后在gre作文評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)上再提醒大家注意幾點(diǎn):沒有十分地把握,不要亂下定義,嚴(yán)重的損害議論文嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)奈娘L(fēng)。ets討厭重復(fù),不論是內(nèi)容上還是形式上,總結(jié)也要做到避免重復(fù)有層次,先表面后深刻,先分段后整體。

GRE寫作滿分范文賞析

"Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."

This statement is stating. The more advance in tecnology that society becomes, the more we depend on technology to live our everyday lives. Society as a whole will out do daily tasks and depend more on machines and computers to accomplish those tasks for them. For example; I was told that the younger generations use caclators in classes on a everday level. We counld'nt do that. We had to resolve a problem on our own. Because caculators are being used, math problems are being adjusted around the caculators. If I didnt know how to use a caculator today then I most likely woulnd't know how to attempt to tackle the math of today. Computers of today are another example. Writing a essay took a lot of thought and hard work in past. Today, I can type some words in the computer and that computer will spell, make grammer correction, and dictate a right form to use in my essay. In the past we had to all these things on our own. I'm not putting down modern technology totally. I just want to state that if we take away people's ability to think then we will slowly loose our ability to function with out modern technology.

Comments:

This response is fundamentally deficient because it does not discuss the issue. Instead, it briefly discusses the drawbacks of specific types of technology (e.g., calculators and computers) in terms of the effect they have on an individual's ability to function without them.

Furthermore, the awkward and imprecise phrasing often interferes with meaning (e.g., "Society as a whole will out do daily tasks???").

GRE寫作滿分范文賞析

"Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."

Computers of all shapes and sizes, p.c.'s, laptops, faxes, phones, the list never ends. All considered by our society as great technological advances. Not many would argue that the development of these tools has not advanced our world in some ways. However they certainly seem to be making our world one in which contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary. Though some may be more comfortable not having to engage in direct contact, it is questionable whether this is beneficial to society as a whole. The very least result could in fact be a very lonely world, but it may result in more significant problems.

Comments:

This response is seriously flawed. The analysis of the issue is extremely limited, and there are serious problems in sentence structure. The writer's position, never clearly stated, seems to be that as a result of technological developments, "contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary." However, the implications of this statement (and others) are never explored or developed. Furthermore, the list of technological advancements does not support or clarify the writer's already tenuously held position. Each new sentence could serve as a springboard to a thoughtful analysis but instead takes the response further from the apparent premise.

This response received a score of 2, not because of language problems, but because reasoning, analysis, and development are extremely thin and insubstantial.
