被寫作支配的恐懼|GRE到底該怎么下筆？

首先我們要了解的是一篇寫作的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是什么，很多同學(xué)將自己認(rèn)為的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)當(dāng)做官方的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，這是大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)的，會(huì)讓我們的寫作越偏越遠(yuǎn)。那么這時(shí)候，如果你還不知道grader的打分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，請(qǐng)一定打開(kāi)官網(wǎng)，閱讀這一段話。

官網(wǎng)給出的Scoring Guide for the argument task

官網(wǎng)給出的Scording Guide for the issue task

總結(jié)而言就是以下幾點(diǎn)：

1、扣住instruction!

很多題目看起來(lái)很相似，但是instruction不同，那就是兩篇要求完全不一樣的寫作，因此扣住instruction非常有不要，否則很可能就會(huì)跑題，導(dǎo)致低分。

2、topic sentence要寫對(duì)

對(duì)于argument來(lái)說(shuō)，一定要找到前提到結(jié)論非要不可的橋梁。不可以質(zhì)疑前提，或者從結(jié)論出發(fā)。這個(gè)橋梁是什么意思呢，就是要找前提到結(jié)論非要不可的一個(gè)條件，如果這個(gè)條件不成立，前提對(duì)結(jié)論就沒(méi)有支持力度。

而對(duì)于issue來(lái)講，就是要找到一個(gè)體現(xiàn)深刻思考，并且邏輯嚴(yán)密的理由，作為段落的topic sentence. 如果理由本身沒(méi)有說(shuō)服力，就算后面努力給出很多論證，也依舊很難說(shuō)服別人。對(duì)于issue來(lái)講，最重要的，永遠(yuǎn)是說(shuō)服力。

3、立足支撐點(diǎn)

支撐點(diǎn)是整篇文章的靈魂所在，你要會(huì)舉出反例，并且反例要有足夠的說(shuō)服力，讓別人覺(jué)得這個(gè)論點(diǎn)找的確實(shí)是滴水不漏。那么，對(duì)于issue來(lái)講，給出強(qiáng)有力的支撐，就是要給出足夠有支撐力，有細(xì)節(jié)，邏輯嚴(yán)密的論證。這里可以是說(shuō)理論證，舉例論證，數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)等，原則就是，要對(duì)段落主題有足夠的支撐，讓人信服。

4、過(guò)渡自然

在GRE的評(píng)分中，過(guò)渡是一個(gè)非常重要的得分點(diǎn)，文章的邏輯連貫，非常需要起承轉(zhuǎn)合等表達(dá)邏輯鏈條關(guān)系的詞匯。文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，通過(guò)這些linking words，應(yīng)該是讓人感受到一目了然的。句與句之間，段落與段落之間的關(guān)系，要交代的很清楚。

5、詞匯、句式、語(yǔ)法

在GRE寫作中，可能不會(huì)過(guò)分的要求你的語(yǔ)法多高級(jí)，句式多完美，它是允許你有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的小錯(cuò)誤的。但是GRE 作為一個(gè)英語(yǔ)為載體的考試，就算有小錯(cuò)誤，不可以影響到閱讀。在不影響閱讀的情況下，文章要有邏輯與說(shuō)服力。但是，倘若文章語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤百出，grader根本就很難讀懂你的內(nèi)容，那么，再好的內(nèi)容，別人看不懂，看是沒(méi)用的。

下面我們來(lái)看一篇高分范文吧。

題目：

As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.

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.

高分范文解析：

The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightful position on the issue and follows the specific instructions (一定要符合instruction)by presenting reasons to support that position. (清晰且富有洞察力的觀點(diǎn)。這邊如果過(guò)于膚淺的討論,也是很難上4分的)The essay cogently(cogent, 有說(shuō)服力)argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides "additional time for people to live more efficiently." In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.

In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways. Examples are persuasive and fully developed;(例子非常的有說(shuō)服力，而且展開(kāi)充分)reasoning is logically sound and well supported(邏輯推理嚴(yán)密，有說(shuō)服力).

Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs("However" or "In contrast to the statement")and within paragraphs(觀點(diǎn)銜接真的是grader非�？粗氐�). Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the "conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics)," with only minor errors appearing(句式多樣性體現(xiàn)語(yǔ)言能力). Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score, a 6.
