提煉GRE Argument寫作要點
What is an Argument?
A strong argument attempts to persuade the reader to accept a point of view. As such, it consists of a proposition, a declarative statement which is capable of being argued, and a proof, a reason or ground which is supported by evidence. The evidence, in turn, is composed of relevant facts, opinions based on facts and careful reasoning. If you are analyzing an argument, you should look for both of these: a proposition and the evidence supporting the proposition.
Attack the Argument
Each arguments stimulus has been intentionally loaded with flaws that you should acknowledge and discuss. If you fail to see the more fundamental problems in the argument, you will not get a high score.
The purpose of the essay is for you to critique the reasoning in the argument . Your personal opinions are not relevant. Your essay needs to focus on flaws in the argument. While in the Analysis of Issue you write your opinion on a subject, in the Analysis of Argument you write a logical critique of a flawed argument. Thus, the approaches to the two essays should be different.
縱觀整個GRE作文考試，似乎應(yīng)該概括為Issue讓我們變得廣博，Argument讓我們成為辯手，Argument也是我在課堂上最喜歡的一個教學(xué)環(huán)節(jié)，因為我喜歡辯論，過去參加辯論賽是和人在進(jìn)行辯論，現(xiàn)在講GRE，是在和一篇又一篇的文章進(jìn)行文字辯論，他們之間存在極大的共性，那么如何去辯，如何讓我們能如同當(dāng)年在辯論賽上征服對方辯手一樣地去征服GRE的Argument寫作呢?
ETS對這部分的要求體現(xiàn)在：第一，要求考試敏銳的洞察出一篇文章的主要的幾點邏輯錯誤;第二，既然是攻擊對方文章的邏輯錯誤，那么考生本生所寫的文章要有邏輯性，或者說邏輯合理性;第三，一篇Argument的用詞用句有他特定的風(fēng)格，因此考生要選擇準(zhǔn)確恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~句表達(dá)。Argument的結(jié)構(gòu)比較固定，易于掌握，一般都能寫出個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的經(jīng)典5段式，為了寫好這種模式，這種文章的關(guān)鍵是抓住邏輯錯誤，這是拿到高分的第一點，最重要的一點。如果寫了很多，沒抓住要害，語言再好也拿不到高分。攻擊的語言可以不專業(yè)化，但是抓住錯誤最關(guān)鍵。如果文字色彩很專業(yè)化，可以表現(xiàn)出邏輯修養(yǎng)，攻擊的很地道，當(dāng)然可以增加分值，寫作時間為30分鐘。
