【考试指南】GRE写作要避开论证片面才能拿高分
如何杜绝新GRE写作的片面论证呢?参加过GRE考试的同学,都知道新GRE写作是有很大难度的,不容易取得高分,为了帮助大家更好的准备新GRE写作,下面GRE作文栏目老师给大家介绍一下如何杜绝新GRE写作的片面论证。
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.
从这个instructions可以看出,我们绝不能单纯地从正负观点去展开文章。因为,它明确说了你需要在写作中讨论“命题”中的陈述在何种情况下成立“true”,在何种情况下不成立”not hold true”。如果你在写作时仍然持有单一观点,你最后的得分可想而知。但是,实际情况是,对于大多数中国考生来讲,他们往往受困于单一观点“黑白分明”的思维定式,不善于从多角度分析一个问题。而这里各位考生需要明白,ETS对于GRE高分作文有一个很重要也是最基本的要求,那就是complexity,也就是“立场和角度的多样化”。为了去应对这样的写作要求,我在这里介绍几种实用且又符合instructions要求的破题方式。
融合对立选项(平衡观点)
很多题目总是会列出两个对象,接受一个抛弃另一个,这个时候可以找寻题设中两个认为对立的对象之间的联系,指出两者是共存的。
例如:
It is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value.
1.艺术品本身实际上就有很深刻的内涵和永恒的价值,同时批评家可以让大家明白艺术品的价值在哪里。
2. 那些流传远久有永恒价值的艺术都是批评家们帮助筛选出来的。
因此,这两个对象是不矛盾的。
关键词分离写
很多题目中会出现两个对象,从表面上看,它们似乎是一致的,但实际上他们之间存在差异。对于这样的题目,我们可以肯定一个对象,而否定另一个。
例如:
Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics.
首先,我们可以看出,题目中的两个对象customs (风俗)和 ethics(伦理)实际上是有很大差异的。因此,科技对他们的影响力也绝对不会是一样的。
1.肯定 customs
customs是可以被科技改变的,比如很多典礼和文化还有迷信都因为科学的进步而废除了,还是有很多传统被予了新的含义。
2.否定 ethics
ethics是很难被科技改变的,无论科技怎么变,道德是数千年以来人类共同承认的东西,是不会随着科技的发展而改变的,反过来是道德影响科技的发展。
定义模糊关键词
很多题目的key point就在于如何定义关键词,题目给出的概念不够明晰的时候,可以有不同的理解,而不同的理解就可以有不同的方向破题。
例如:
"facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, or our inclinations."
我们可以看出,本题中的 “facts”意义就非常模糊。因此,我们可以通过对于其不同定义来破解题目。
1.如果fact作为一种自然客观规律,这样的fact是我们无法改变的,比如所有的生物终将死亡。时间是不能倒退的,这些是我们通过亲身感受可以感知到的,无论怎么努力,这些事实是不可能改变的。
2.如果把fact理解为记录的史实,那么fact是有可能改变的。诚然发生过的事情不可以改变,但是历史本来就不可能完全真实的记录已经发生的事实。这样的情况下“fact”很多时候都是被改变的。
以上就是我们GRE作文栏目为各位考生整理的关于GRE写作要避开论证的片面介绍,希望考生积极做好备考工作,及时调整好状态,争取在GRE写作考试中取得理想的成绩!
