看完今天這篇文章你還不會(huì)寫 GRE Argument 作文,你來打我,我把手寄給你幫你去考試算了!看標(biāo)題就知道,7天速成作文,咱們*學(xué)習(xí)一篇,不然一下子學(xué)太多也吸收不過來。
GRE考試中會(huì)遇到兩道寫作題,Argument+Issue,要求考生在30分鐘之內(nèi)各自完成一篇。
于國內(nèi)考GRE的童鞋來說,GRE寫作是所有科目里表現(xiàn)*差的,據(jù)ETS官方發(fā)布的*新GRE年度報(bào)告顯示,咱們國內(nèi)考生GRE寫作的平均分是3.1,只超過了全球18%的考生,作文拿滿分的概率非常低(當(dāng)然作文拿6分的大神確實(shí)有,但是對(duì)于普通考生來說真的是難于上青天)。
于是,很多童鞋在備考GRE作文的時(shí)候都會(huì)非常迷茫,
不復(fù)習(xí)吧,寫作分?jǐn)?shù)就很有可能成為自己申請(qǐng)的絆腳石;
復(fù)習(xí)吧,又會(huì)消耗大量的時(shí)間,還不如多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間在Verbal上。
這就導(dǎo)致很多童鞋,在整個(gè)GRE備考期間,都在忙著搞閱讀詞匯,寫作幾乎是裸考的,結(jié)果到了要上"戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)"時(shí),都依然不懂得如何快速搞定GRE作文。
*后V和Q都考了325+,但是一看作文gg了:2.5分臥槽??!!
然后又不得不再考一場(chǎng)GRE,多花一次考試報(bào)名費(fèi)...
*要命的是還要繼續(xù)來一次要命的GRE復(fù)習(xí),還不一定考得比之前好...害,說多了都是淚奔。這樣的例子真的屢見不鮮了。
其實(shí),GRE作文的復(fù)習(xí)是有技巧的,可不是單純地背單詞、背模板就能得高分的哦!!
你想想:
因?yàn)槿绻鸄rgument考6分滿分的話,Issue你就是瞎寫,也有2分吧?2+6=8,取平均分,那你的GRE作文至少都有4分了!所以Argument一定要爭(zhēng)取滿分6分!
更何況,搞定了GRE作文,你才有更多的時(shí)間去搞閱讀和填空!
之前已經(jīng)給大家發(fā)過*、二、三、四、五、六篇啦,今天已經(jīng)是*后一篇了哦。學(xué)習(xí)一定要有一個(gè)完整的系統(tǒng),今天是第七篇的訓(xùn)練哦:(123456可以翻前面的文章查看哦)
題目:
The following was written as a part of an application for a small-business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.
"A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, the proposed new jazz club in Monroe, the C-Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's annual jazz festival last summer; several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe; and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight at 7 P.M. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment."
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.
要求:1)完整寫首段+主體段每段首句;2)首段需要和主體段每段首句內(nèi)容對(duì)應(yīng)(盡量即可);3) 結(jié)尾段不做要求。
參考答案
*步:找到結(jié)論和支持結(jié)論的論據(jù)。

Instruction 類型:Evidence
第二步:確定寫作切入點(diǎn)。
本題非常高頻,請(qǐng)務(wù)必弄熟。
可以針對(duì)市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力(competitiveness)、流行性(popularity)和花費(fèi) 途徑(how to spend money)各寫一段。流行性值得質(zhì)疑的點(diǎn)*多,可以擴(kuò)展寫;其他兩段稍微短點(diǎn)也 可以。本題切入點(diǎn)較多,請(qǐng)大家自行補(bǔ)充新的思路,合理即可。
第三步:根據(jù) instructions,依照模板,寫首段和主體段*句。本題具體展開的可能性較多
In this loan application, the developers argue that the proposed jazz club C-note would make profit considering the lack of competition, the popularity of Jazz in the Monroe and the study about how jazz fans spend money. We need to collect more evidence about these issues in order to better evaluate the argument.
To begin with, we need more information about whether the proposed jazz club will meet with any competition. While the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away, the jazz fans in Monroe may still go for it if there is highway or subway that allows them to travel conveniently. As such, we need to know if the jazz fans have access to cars and whether there is highway or subway in place. In addition, we also need to know if there is other competition from sources like radio program ‘Jazz Nightly’ or jazz bands that may perform on the streets in Monroe that may threaten the profitability of C-note. Therefore, we need to collect information to better understand how competitive the jazz club is.
Moreover, we need more evidence to decide if Jazz is indeed popular in Monroe and if such popularity can lead to the prosperity of C-note. We need to know how many people among the 100,000 people in the jazz festivals are locals who would go to a jazz club like C-note. Maybe a significant portion of the people in the festival are tourists who are not living in Monroe and will not go to C-note regularly. Or a good number of people found in festivals are schoolchildren who will not have time to go to the club during the school year. Likewise, unless we know for sure the radio listeners who enjoy jazz program would actually go to jazz club, the popularity of Jazz Nightly would not necessarily mean C-note will be attractive as well. Finally, as far as the jazz musicians living in Monroe are concerned, we need to know if their choice to live here has anything to do with the popularity of Jazz at all. Maybe they live here for reasons totally unrelated to Jazz. We need to examine these issues carefully in order to get a more accurate idea of the popularity of Jazz in Monroe.
Last but not least, we need more evidence about how jazz fans in Monroe spend money on Jazz entertainment. The nationwide study is useful only if the jazz fans in Monroe are similar to the samples collected for the study. Therefore, we need to know more about how the samples were collected for the study and the demographic information of jazz fans in Monroe to decide if the study results are relevant. Similarlly, we have to look into how much money a typical jazz fan in Monroe would spend on a jazz club like C-note. Maybe the jazz fans would prefer to spend money on Jazz CDs or related musical instruments. If C-note could not generate enough revenue, it will not make profits.
Overall speaking, to decide whether the proposed C-note club will make profits, we need to collect evidence about the aforementioned issues.
