GRE考试写作高分技巧
GRE作文难不难?确实难。GRE作文水平能提高不?废话,当然能提高。GRE作文分数能不能快速提高?小西用人格保证,绝对可以,只要大家按照我下面介绍的方法,真的去努力了去奋斗了,甩手抛掉无谓的恐惧和害怕,一脚踹开对GRE无聊的敬畏,那么你肯定能够成功,而且很可能是你自己都意料不到的成功。
GRE作文战略级别指导
第一核心思想:最短的时间获得最多的分数
有一个思想绝对是准备GRE机考也好笔考也好还是其他任何考试的核心:最短的时间内获得最多的分数。这句话大家都懂,关键是做起来很多人就蒙了,怎么在最短的时间内获得最多的分数,有一个基本思路就是:我们不做没有效率的事情,不做比较有效率的事情,我们只做最有效率的事情。一个成功的人往往可以把一件事情做得很有效率,比别人快速而且质量还高,但是这还仅仅是停留在战术层面上的东西,真正想获得GRE作文高分的同学一定要学会一样本领——选择,选择最有效率的事情来做即便你做的不是很好,那也比你选择一个没有效率的事情然后做得死去活来要来的好。讲到这边,大家可能还是不大明白什么叫更有效率、最有效率,好,我给大家举几个例子:有人说要读北美范文,小西从来只建议读10篇以内即可,因为北美范文对你的帮助是让你对GRE作文整体有个基本认识和感受,但是有些人却开始犯傻了,要通读北美范文,把好词好句摘出,更有甚者还想把每篇的提纲整理出来,简直不可理喻!可能你也有这么做,那我也要说你,真的,赶紧停止犯傻!你这么做,一直坚持下去,对你的作文水平可能真的有很大很大的帮助,可是在一个月甚至更短的准备时间里面想获得GRE作文的高分,无疑是自掘坟墓。那么G亲们,我们要做的是什么——站在巨人的肩膀上,严重拒绝原创!GRE从开始到现在,作文题库几乎就没有变过,北美范文问世也有好多年头了,大家好好想想就应该知道,我们了不起的前人肯定已经有人做过这件事情了,所以我们不做比较有效率的事情,只做最有效率的事情,把人家摘抄出来的好词好句直接拿来,再在别人的精华里边提取精华,事半功倍!
第二核心思想:装作有实力 > 真正有实力
大家一定要搞清楚一个概念:英语作文水平和GRE作文高分之间并不存在必然直接的联系,作文水平高的人很可能得不到高分,但是作文水平明明很低的人却能一鸣惊人,这又是为什么呢?原因其实很简单,ETS的考官不会看你以前的习作,也不会看你平时的水平,他只看什么?没错,就是你在考场上写出来的文章。所以小西在这边很严肃的告诉可爱的G亲们,尤其是那些作文很不错的,千万要小心了,如果今天GRE作文上来是好几篇连题目事先都不知道的让你临场发挥的,又或者是同一篇让你多写几次让你写出不同神韵的,那么无疑作文水平决定了分数。但是GRE作文并非如此,他只要求你写一次,写一篇Issue,一篇Argu,甚至所有的题目都已经事先告诉你了,那这时候我们要获得高分,其实并不一定要真有很强的实力,关键是要在考官面前显现的很有实力,记住:装作有实力比本身有实力更容易获得高分。根据这个核心思想,我们马上会明白我们平时复习时候的基本思路:不求多变,因为ETS的考官不会再看你的文章,所以你的文采斐然,每每创新,对不起,不好使!我们要做的是把一个套路,一种思路,自己写得好的话语不断的重复,再不断的重复,重复到我们在能用的时候能够马上快速使用,而且还用的好。有些人是不是听得头大了,好,小西就直接来好了:
比如大家在写历史相关主题的文章的时候,都会写历史的真正作用是什么?那这时候,按照上面的原则,我们永远不要写一次一个样,也拒绝差不多就行的态度,我们要做的事情:就是精炼语句,把这句一定会写到的句子做到最好,然后背下,到了考场上一写就是点睛之笔,当时小西就是这么写的:
History is an elder who keep telling many vivid stories about humanity to hone the sense of pride, dignity and self-worth while promoting the thoughts about values, humanity and morality. In my view, the genuine purpose of study on history is rooted not in reconstructing the past completely and accurately by the mere sifting of evidence for facts but rather delivering the eternal values and humanity which can illustrate the present as a light and bend the arc of future toward the hope of a better day.
具体如何精炼和提升句子,小西会在后面倾囊相授,不用着急,这边是重点,一定要领会精神,很多小西的战友就是当初没弄明白,走了很多很多弯路,费了力还得不到高分。我们面对同一种话题我们的观点、思想、逻辑得一样,我们面对同一个观点和思想我们的语言和辞藻得一样。如果同一个意思,你写出了两个版本,那么你就是失败者,小西没开玩笑,我们就是要事先准备,然后重复熟悉,考场应用,拿到高分!
第三核心思想:GRE作文= 逻辑+思想+文采
我们要获得GRE高分的前提和根本是我们要知道ETS的考官想看到的是什么,根据小西还有小西众多战友的经验:GRE作文= 逻辑+思想+文采 ,重要性是依次排序的,逻辑是根本,思想很重要,文采是其次,但是获得高分却又缺一不可,他们三者基本上就是这么个关系。知道了这个思路,那我们准备的时候的战略部署和层次把握就明确多了,逻辑不行的G亲们,那你什么都不要做,就是赶紧练好如何迅速的形成严密的整体行文逻辑和分论点的展开逻辑,不会练习的人不用担心,小西在下边的战术指导中会详尽的为大家解决这个问题。思想不深的同学,就得赶紧开始准备每个题的点睛的思想,也就是作文的魂,你最重要的观点。文采不好的人,那就得赶紧搜罗资料,整理好词好句,修改提炼然后背诵。每个部分的解决方案小西下面都会有讲解,大家只要记住一点:GRE作文每个人都可以克服,按照小西的方法去努力和挥洒,让我们一起化腐朽为神奇!
GRE准备战术级别指导
在这个部分,小西重点帮助G亲们解决好常见的几大问题,告诉大家要获得GRE作文高分,需要做好哪些事情,好,深呼吸,GRE作文来了!
G亲们经常遇见的几大头疼难题及其解决方法
第一大问题:如何快速的形成严密完整的整体行文逻辑
其实我们中国学生的逻辑思维真的都很厉害,所以本来我们面对GRE作文的行为逻辑是一点困难都不会有的,但是事实上呢有很多G亲们在这点上却做得很不理想,究其根本原因是大家在打字都不够的时间里很少有人能够快速地形成自己的整体行文逻辑。其实大部分人解决这个问题的方法都很有效果,那就是背诵提纲,但是毕竟我们准备作文的时间有限,我们还得准备更重要的笔考,不可能花太多的时间在整理所有题目的提纲并且全部背诵下来,这样做性价比实在是太不高了。那么怎么办呢?别着急,小西给大家的建议是大家准备作文的时候整体就要分为两个战略层次:求高分和保低分。根据自己的时间制定,高频前50或者前80作为自己的求高分的题目,就是考试的时候碰到必须高分拿下;后面的那些低频题出现的话保证拿到自己理想中的基本分。而这个第一大问题的核心其实就是保证大家在考场上碰到自己不熟悉的低频题的时候能够在最短的时间里形成尽可能严密和完整的逻辑思路。
那好了,废话不说,怎么形成呢?其实很简单,快速的秘密就在于两个字——“重复”,重复同一种思路,同一种思维方式,让自己不断的熟悉和重复同一种逻辑形成模式和思维展开方式,这样你在考场上就肯定能达到小西所说的快速形成行文逻辑的要求。说空话不是小西风格,我们来实战:
首先,你得确定自己的大方向,就是你对很多题目的态度,这个很重要,因为态度基本上都一致的话你的行文逻辑就会很模式化,这就会带来两个好处,一个是你形成逻辑快,二是在你形成逻辑的时候其实你的模板也已经形成了,这会给你的速度带来很大的提升。小西当时确定的就是所有的题目我全部都反对,除了极个别的反对实在是很难写的几道题目。
其次,你要确立自己的思维方式,或者我们可以叫它公式化解题步骤,每个人都可以有所不同,这里小西讲下自己的步骤来启发下大家。小西的行文逻辑其实很简单:第一意群:支持并证明作者观点的正确性,第二意群:反驳作者并指出作者观点的缺陷,第三意群:点出话题的本质并给出自己的建议。那话到这边之后,很多人马上不屑地骂小西,你这超级普通嘛,什么公式化解题步骤嘛,故弄玄虚。好吧,我承认刚才讲的三大意群是有点扯淡,因为几乎所有人都是这么做的,但是小西接下来要讲的真的是重头戏:所谓的公式化解题步骤的核心是层次化布局和展开。什么叫层次化呢,其实说白了就是每一个大意群下都有分层观点,千万别小看这个哦,分层的好处可多了去,不过等会儿再说,我们先看看如何去分层,小西在这边举两个例子:
Issue 138 “Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress.”
1+错误的确能给人带来发现与进步
1.1+在个人层面,程序员就是在不断错误、不断调试的过程中进步的
1.2+在社会层面,一个国家也是在不断的犯错中成长历练,最终成为一个伟大的国家的
2-但是,错误与进步、发现之间并没有直接、必然的联系
2.1-错误并不一定带来进步,错误越多也并不意味着进步越大,发现越多。e.g.有人犯了错顽固不化,有人犯了错还浑然不知,有了知道错了下次接着犯
2.2-进步并不一定建立在错误的基础上,e.g.有些事情不用也不能建立在错误的基础上,比如说造桥、医学手术等等
3-事实上,真正决定是否进步的不是错误本身,而是人面对错误的态度与克服错误的勇气
面对错误,不高傲不顽固,冷静谦卑地分析错误的原因
面对错误,不气馁不后悔,勇敢无谓地克服错误战胜错误
好,这个就是一个典型的层次化布局后的详细提纲,我们要做到的是在考场上尽量去做到这样完整的逻辑,平时准备高频提纲的时候更应该这么准备。层次化布局战术的有几大好处:
(1)
第一大好处:让你有内容可写,事实上一个分支如果你写不多,那么两句话也够了,因为两、三个分支一组合就足够形成一个完整详细的大段了,所以分论点就可以保证你写的东西是详细的,分论点写详细了那么就单独成为一段,写的少了就合到一起。其实很多同学都缺乏一种将一个观点说透说详细的能力,如果这种能力实在不强,用分论点组合真的是一种非常不错的解决方法,因为分论点之间其实都是为了一个中心观点服务的,所以放到一段里的感觉就是作者通过不同视角和不同层次去分析同一个观点,这是ETS考官很喜欢的,也是拿高分的关键所在。
(2)
第二大好处:你的逻辑层次布局特别特别的清晰,原先我们高中写作文的时候追求的作文的最高境界叫做:形散神不散,可是今天换到GRE上,对不起,您这套还是放起来吧,因为像小西在上文中讲的那样,ETS最注重的是考生的逻辑思维能力。所以GRE作文其实是有点像八股文,特别注重布局和层次,特别注重框架和结构,你也不用气恼,我们想拿高分,没法子就得按照人家的套路来。所以,层次化布局一个非常大的好处就是考官对你的行文逻辑一目了然,可了心就随便地给了个5分什么的高分了。哈哈, b' ?4 d+ v# W& p: N8 V( W
(3)
第三大好处:层次化布局有利于我们的思路模式化更有利于我们形成自己的模板,思路模式化指的是什么,好好想想小西上面举的那个例子中的第一意群中的两个分支其实就是典型:个人层面和社会层面,第二个意群也是典型:充分条件不成立和必要条件也不成立。像这种典型的意群展开成分论点的模式(意群展开模式),大家平时一定一定要多注意积累和形成。这非常有利于你形成固定的话语来描述,于是就诞生了你个性的模板,大大提高了你写作文的速度。考场上遇到不熟悉的题目依样画葫芦,很快就能形成别人在之前想很久都想不出来的多层次多角度的整体行文逻辑。
为了加强这种感受,小西在这边给大家再举两个例子:
Issue51 “Education will be truly effective only when it is specially designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student”
1+教育考虑到学生的需求和兴趣真的非常重要
2-但是教育不能也不应该考虑到每个学生的兴趣和需求
2.1 -可行性:教育资源有限,不可能照顾到所有的孩子
2.2-不利性,过分强调个体差异需求有可能会对基础教育产生负面的影响
3.真正的教育是什么?balablablablabla,然后给出我们的建议
Issue147 “Tradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them.”
1+传统与现代化之间的确存在着冲突,这也是必然的
1.1+客观事物上的冲突与改变,高楼大厦的林立必然是在古老房子的坍塌下建立
1.2+主观习俗上的冲突与改变,信息时代让我们和书信这种传统渐渐地远离
2.-但是,有冲突并不意味着两者不兼容,我们只能从中选一。事实上传统与现代化是不可分割的,我们从中选一是不可能也是不利于社会发展的。
2.1-不可行性:时间与历史是连续的整体,任何一个时间节点都连接着相对它的传统与现代化
没有任何现代化的过程不是植根于自己的传统,无源之水是不存在的
没有任何传统是一成不变的,现代化的改变是必然也是有利的
2.2-不利性:没有了传统,人们会失去自我归属感和身份认同感
没有了现代化,人们的生活缺失了希望与发展
3.-事实上,人类进步和发展的历程就是人们在传统与现代化寻求和谐和平衡的过程
上面的两个例子又是典型的意群展开模式:可行性与有利性的辨析,客观与主观上的改变,A与B都重要:没A。。。没B。。。大家是不是很有感觉了,那还等什么,赶紧去积累和形成这些套路模式,快速中又保证了高质量。
GRE issue写作优秀实例:领导者的能力
题目:
The most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little.
对于一位强有力的领导者来说,最关键的能力就是要对一些原则和目标坚定不移。任何领导如果很频繁的、很轻易的为大众意志而转移的话,他将会一事无成。
正文:
Ever wondered about the most essential quality of an effective leader? Outstanding intellect? High standard morality and ethos? Or the consistence committed to particular principles and objectives?According to me, since leaders are playing such an important role in every aspect of our society,including politics, academia, business and so forth, they need myriad qualities to gain success,therefore making every mentioned ability indispensable. It is hard to say which one is more important. On the other hand, consistence to certain principles and objectives do have advantages,including help the leaders realize their policies and hang on ideals, but such concerns should be carefully taken or certain risks of democracy, development and awareness will be caused.
Being committed to particular principles and objectives can help a leader make his leadership unique and defined. In many fields, leaders often take a lot time to accomplish their missions of directing the enterprises. If their ideas shift easily from time to time, their followers will feel confused and cannot concentrate their power. For instance, the former head coach of England soccer team, Sven Eriksson, led his team to gain little feats in the World Cup 2006 in Germany,even before the game most people are taking them as the most competitive team according to their super stars. After defeated by Portugal, the academia analyzed reasons, and drew to a conclusion that Eriksson did little independent thinking when leading his team, just following the strategies pointed out by public. It is the unstable strategy that caused England's failure. An opposite example involves the world champion coach, Aim Jacquet, who led France to win 1998 World Cup in their own country. Jacquet excluded many outstanding and popular players before the game started, and was widely condemned by public. But the reality turned out to support his choice, with a champion cup. This comparison can tell us about the importance of being committed to particular principles and objectives, and reason lays in that public are often trapped by ostensible phenomenon, while leaders can gain more information and experience, as well as to take a more comprehensive and effective thinking. Jacquet was believed considering sufficient aspects of those outstanding players and made the choice correctly after striking a balance among these aspects. Sometimes the public are easily cheated by media and a few people, therefore agitated to wrong way.
Nevertheless, only upholding principles and objectives cannot help a leader gain his success,because such principles and objectives should be carefully chosen and realized by the leader's abilities at other aspects. Otherwise, the leader will find himself abandoned by public, hard to take steps. It seems to me that leaders can only benefit the society in the premise that they are intellectual enough to consider about situation comprehensively and predict the outcomes accurately, as well as to hold a high moral and ethic standard, or they may be even more harmful to the society.
Firstly, leaders need levelheaded thoughts on the complicated social issues that they are facing.When given a situation, leaders may want to realize their principles and objectives by dealing with it. But sometimes this is very hard. For instance, the "Shock Therapy" advised and directed by Harvard economist, Jeffrey Sachs, was thought to be the main reason of nowadays flagged economy of Russia. Although Sachs kept his way of dealing with the dangerous planned economy,which made the country's economy suddenly stopped and helped some other countries such as Bolivia, he failed to see the huge and complex Russian economy when taking his consistence. As a result, only "shock" occurred, no "therapy". So even the most intellectual leaders should take care when they commit their principles and objectives, checking whether they are feasible and how they can be realized.
Secondly, leaders are required for high moral and ethic standards, which ask them to take their possible outcomes of principles and objectives they commit to into consideration. Otherwise, they cannot persuade the public to obey their orders, or, even worse, cause disastrous result to the society if they gain supports. In my opinion, popular opinions have often gave their reasons of existence, or they cannot be accepted by public. Despite of the possibility that people are misled,every people has their ways to think logically. So when the leaders' principles and objectives conflict with public ideas, they should concern why such confliction take place, and make their decision after a careful scrutiny. Adolf Hitler, an undoubted leader who committed to his will of conquer and racism, even persuaded the German in 1930s to follow him. The autocrat was holding on ideals which do not meet humanity and morality, causing the world suffer from millions of death during the World War II. The Hitler's lesson tells about the importance of other qualities of a leader which may be needed when establishing his particular principles and objectives.
To sum up, leaders are asked for many qualities besides their consistence committed to particular principles and objectives and such principles and objectives should be careful taken after considering about the society's material situation. As long as the leaders in every field keep an open mind to popular opinions, and as long as they think comprehensively on the reasons and reality, they will certainly lead us to a better future.
GRE issue写作优秀实例:主观和客观
题目:
There is no such thing as purely objective observation.All observation is subjective;it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires.
纯粹客观的观察是不存在的。所有的观察都是主观的;观察总是被观察者的预期或者喜好所左右的。
正文:
The writer of the issue focuses his/her attention on the detail and extremely stares at the minutia, blinding to the main part of the problem. According to my feeling, the issue is ramshackle to deliberate.
Following the author's logic that all observations are distorted by observer's expectations or desires, all things in the world are unsuitable for meanings that is endowed by human language. If so, can the clean water be called clean? If we fetch a drop of water from a cup of clean water and then observe it under a microscope, many kinds of impurity can be dectected; can a brave man be a real brave one? Sometimes,even the bravest general may get worried: he/she worries that his army maight be conquered by the rival, he/she worries about the situation of his/her country, he/she worries about his/her familily. If all languages should be as accurate to depict things in the world as the inicial appearence of them, there might be no language nowadays.
"Pure" and "impure", "brave"and "craven", "clean" and "dirty", are just three pairs of relative conceptions. It is impossible to portray degree of the pure so accurate that completely the same with its original shape, as there is no absolute pure in the world at all. In the sense, those who are brave in some aspects may be not so brave, water that are clean in the sight of some people may be regarded as dirty. One who doesn't behave very well in the army but can exert his/her gift in research and holds the courage to clime to the pinnale of science, may be regared as craven in the army while considered as hero in science; water which is clean for drinking may not be clean enough for injection. In different places and for different people, definition of the same conception may be largely different.
However, the author of the issue considers that if there are observer's expectations or desires, observation is subjective. It means that if there is impurity in the pure, the pure things are impure. If the hero behaves quail under any circumstance, the hero is unsuitable for the coronal of "hero". We should concern more on the mainstream of an object, not the minor detail. Those who have been always brave or in his/her paticular fields embody a spirit that is lacked for others, they can be entitled with brave man too.
In the same sense, those water that is clean for its utility, it is also clean water. Only impurities in the water exceeds the standard, can we define it as "dirty water".Unavoidable, observation is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires,however, we should discriminate objective observation and sujective observation. It is arbitrary to conclude that all observations are sujective, taking no background into accout. Observation that is guided by the observer's expectations or desires under the normal lever is still the objective observation.
