老师,想问问你对作文字数的看法是什么?issue和argument分别大约多少字比较合适?看了您这篇argument,写的很清楚,分析的很到位,只用了399个词,这是简单示范的原因还是您认为说清楚就好,不必在乎用了多少词?感谢解答!

有版友提出语言表达的问题如何解决。这确实是很头疼的问题。一个基本的原则就是要多看好的句子、多模仿;与 ...

Issue 82

Colleges and universities should require their students to spend at least one semester studying in a foreign country.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.


I agree that this recommendation would be beneficial for students specialising in certain disciplines such as foreign languages, international trade and comparative politics.  Yet, students in other fields such as national language and literature, history and archeology would find the requirement unnecessary.  Moreover, students with limited financial resources or abilities to adapt to the new environment may not benefit from the recommendation.  


I agree that this recommendation would be beneficial for students specialising in certain disciplines such as foreign languages, international trade and comparative politics.
句子的功能:针对题目的建议提出立场,指出这个建议对某个群体的学生是有益的。
同意转换:this recommendation would be beneficial for 如果改成benefit怎么写 如果改成students做主语又怎么写
Be beneficial for = Benefit
Students specializing in certain disciplines would benefit from the recommendation.
语法结构:
students specializing动名词后置对前面的名词进行限定
disciplines作为一个概括性的名词后面跟such as及并列结构引出具体的例子

注意下面的两个句子也是表面立场,但是针对不同的学生群体,这个建议就可能不好

Yet, students in other fields such as national language and literature, history and archeology would find the requirement unnecessary. Moreover, students with limited financial resources or abilities to adapt to the new environment may not benefit from the recommendation.
这个句子里是如何表达不好的?这里为了避免词汇重复用了什么词?还可能用什么词?
unnecessary  may not benefit from
others: may be not advisable  unwise ill-advised
练习
129) College students should base their choice of a field of study on the availability of jobs in that field.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.

尝试用上面的句型写出这道题的第一段

基本思路为
对于家境富裕的学生,这个建议没有好处,他们可以根据自己的兴趣来选专业
对于特别有才华的学生,这个建议也不好,因为他们应该根据自己的才华来选专业,将来总会有工作
对于经济压力较大的学生,这个建议很合适,因为对他们来说找到工作最重要

This recommendation would be unnecessary for students who have efficient economic resources. Moreover, students who are especially talented would not benefit from this recommendation either. Nevertheless, for students under huge economic pressure, this requirement is advisable.


Students who have little economic pressure would find this recommendation unnecessary since they have little bondage and apprehensions to choose majors according to their hobbies than those students in poor families.

For students who are especially gifted in some specific fields, this requirement is not beneficial either. They may have a greater chance to get a desirable job in the future if they choose to major in the field they are talented at.

However, it’s an advisable recommendation for students under huge economic pressure since it’s highly important for them to find a job with considerable salary to improve their economic conditions.

老师这个题不是让你说你更同意哪个观点吗? 而您说的却是这两种观点会分别被哪两类人认同,这样算不算呢是 ...

Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.

我的观点就是针对不同的人情况不同,其中一部分和前一种观点接近,另一部分和后一种观点接近
题目并没有要求必须同意哪一种观点 而是要求讨论自己的立场和哪一个更接近
因此提出一个复杂的观点 针对不同人群支持不同的观点是合适的 不存在离题的问题

老师,想问问你对作文字数的看法是什么?issue和argument分别大约多少字比较合适?看了您这篇argument,写 ...

虽然e-rater在评分的时候会考虑文章的长度,但这不是决定性的因素。很多同学为了刻意把文章写长,会导致句子不通顺、结构不合理等问题,因此,我不建议大家追求写太长的文章。一般写5段,中间各段控制在6句话以内。
直接回答你的问题,我写的时候不会刻意考虑字数,写清楚就行。 对于大部分只需要4分的同学,400字足够了。

GRE作文不仅仅是一次考试

相信大部分同学来这个版面的目的都是为了准备GRE考试,只要作文考到一定的分数就万事大吉了。在我看来,真正能考好GRE作文的同学都不会仅仅把它当做一次考试,而会将提高英语写作和批判性思维的能力作为自己去美国求学的过程中一个重要的任务和目标。而GRE作文考试中的各种题目则为我们提供了很好的练习机会。
我知道这样的人少之又少,但我很希望未来在寄托的日子里,能遇到一些真正有心提高英语写作的同学,能指导他们将会是我工作中最大的快乐来源。事实上,我除了研究GRE写作,也关注留学文书写作和英语论文写作。和坊间的牟利机构不同,我辅导留学文书写作时不收费的,也正因为如此,我的精力有限,不会有时间辅导很多同学。但是我希望通过一段时间对这些问题的科研,我能发展出一套可行的辅导模式,让更多由英语写作经验且热心教育的朋友加入写作辅导的行列。我相信写作能力的提升不仅是一种技能的培养,也是整个人的成长过程的一部分。能见证部分同学的成长也是我的荣幸。

Argument 6 deer population drop 提纲示范

本帖最后由 tesolchina 于 2015-6-4 21:06 编辑

6) Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic regions. They search for food by moving over ice from island to island during the course of the year. Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on which they feed and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it. Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations are declining. Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the purported decline in deer populations is the result of the deer's being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea.

According to the argument, the decline in deer populations was caused by the climate changes that prevented the deer from migrating across the frozen sea for food. We need further evidence about the actual changes in deer population, the local climate and the conditions of the ice as well as the environment of deer in order to decide if this argument is reasonable.

ts 1 We need more information about the actual changes in deer population to assess how reliable the hunters’ reports are.  这段重点讨论鹿群数量究竟有没有减少

ts 2 More evidence about the local climate and the conditions of frozen sea is necessary to know if the deer can still follow the age-old migration patterns for food.
其实文章只说鹿群数量减少和全球变暖同时发生 并没有直接说当地已经没有冰路可走

ts 3 Another issue for further investigation is whether there are other environmental factors that might lead to reduction in deer populations. 这段可重点谈可能导致鹿群数量下降的其他因素

issue 2 study major cities 根据主旨句写主题句练习

本帖最后由 tesolchina 于 2015-8-17 11:37 编辑

2) To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities.
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.


thesis

The most important characteritics of a society include its political system, economic structure and the public school system. To understand each of the aspects of the society, it is important to study its major cities as well as smaller towns and the rural areas because the political, economic and educational institutions differ greatly among major cities, small towns and rural areas.

请根据以上主旨句写出三个主题句(英语)并用汉语解释如何展开。


全文:涂成白色,请练习后参考


The most important characteritics of a society include its political system, economic structure and the public school system. To understand each of the aspects of the society, it is important to study its major cities as well as smaller towns and the rural areas because the political, economic and educational institutions differ greatly among major cities, small towns and rural areas.

The political system of a society is often shaped by the economic and cultural dynamics of the local communities as well as the nation as a whole.  To the extent that the politics is influenced by the national institutions such as the Constitution, it is sufficient to study how people in the major cities are involved in political activities. To understand the presidential election of the US, for example, one can follow the presidential candidates as they tour the major cities during their campaigns and investigate how the city residents make their decisions regarding the different candidates and how they think about the major issues covered in the debate among the candidates.  Nevertheless, an important dimension of the modern society is the diversity of political activities one can observe in the local communities. Voters in a small village in a Southern United State may think very differently about a particular issue compared to voters in New York. Therefore, to fully understand the politics of the society, one has to study the rural areas and small towns as well.  

In addition to political system, economic development is another aspect one should not overlook in order to understand the society.  Usually the major cities provide the physical space for economic activities that are important the society. For example, international stock markets are located in major cities such as New York, London and Hong Kong.  To understand the economics of a society, one needs to study how the financial industries operate in such major cities. On the other hand, small villages and counties also play vital roles in the national economy with their contribution to difference economic sectors such as agriculture and tourism.  Therefore, studying the major cities alone is not sufficient to fully understand the economy of the entire society.  

Finally, to fully understand the most important characteristics of a society, one should also study how the public school systems work.  In many societies, the public school systems differ greatly among rural areas, suburbs and big cities as the public schools often respond to the different needs of the local communities. In the rural areas, given the schoolchildren’s extensive experiences with the agriculture, the public schools will include more courses related to agriculture in the curriculum. In the suburbs, with most schoolchildren from the middle class, the public schools may teach more courses that are ideologically oriented towards the middle classes. In the major cities, with schoolchildren more likely coming from lower socioeconomic classes, the public school teachers may emphasize a different set of values and skills in their classrooms.  Therefore, to fully understand how the public school work in the society, one has to study the major cities as well as rural and suburban areas.  

In conclusion, to understand the political, economic and educational development of a society, it is important to study the major cities as well as the countryside and the suburban areas where people from different socioeconomic classes are engaged in different political, economic and educational activities.





另外还写了一篇
To understand the modern society and investigate its most prominent features, we should definitely focus our attention on its major cities because the major cities usually develop models and patterns that would be copied or imitated by other cities, counties and rural areas through institutions such as patent, chain stores and organisational learning.  I would illustrate my position through three major aspects of a society: the use of technologies, the retail industry and higher education.  

There is no doubt that, to understand a society, we need to look into how technologies are used among the people. To do that, we only need to do research in major cities.  For example, if we want to investigate how people use electronic devices to make payments, we should observe people in the major cities and interview them about their preferences and perceptions of the technology.  Since the e-payment system usually involves patented technologies that can be transferred to other areas, the patterns of customer behaviours observed in major cities will be found in smaller cities, counties and even rural areas sooner or later. In the area of technology usage, people living in major cities can serve as suitable subjects for case studies.

Another important characteristic of modern society is the development of retail industry, i.e. how consumer products are marketed and sold.  Again, we only need to study the major cities to understand how retail industry works.  One of the major institutions in retail industry is chain store through which major brand name corporations sell their products in similar ways around the world.  To know how Louis Vuitton promotes its products, there is no need to travel to different places all over the world. Just visiting the main shops in a few major cities, we will have a basic idea of the marketing strategies of the company. To save costs in operation, companies like LV would reuse their ideas for promoting products in other areas.  

Finally, we can also understand the higher education in a given society through studying the major universities usually located in the major cities. Since universities are usually following a set of standards and guidelines in designing their curriculums and delivering their courses, the practices of major universities in major cities can be studied as representative cases to generate research insights that are usually applicable to similar universities in other areas.  Through student exchange programs and visiting professorship, universities also learn from one another at institutional level and become more alike in how they operate.  As a result, it is sufficient to study universities in major cities to understand the main features of higher education.   

In conclusion, I strongly agree that major cities can serve as representative cases for studying the important characteristics of our society because in other cities and areas people often learn the best practices that have been developed in major cities.

(转帖)【argu写作指导】evidence类

原帖地址:
https://bbs.gter.net/thread-1481123-1-1.html



之前在别人的帖子里发表过一些对新G写作指导的个人看法,但很多人还是没有意识到这个问题。所以我打算以此贴强调,就以evidence为例。

不说别的,先上范文:

    It might seem logical, at first glance, to agree with the argument in Dr. Karp’s article
    that children in Tertia actually are raised by their biological parents (and perhaps even,
    by implication, that an observation-centered approach to anthropological study is
    not as valid as an interview-centered one). However, in order to fully evaluate this
    argument, we need to have a significant amount of additional evidence. The argument
    could end up being much weaker than it seems, or it might actually be quite valid. In
    order to make that determination, we need to know more then analyze what we learn.

    The first piece of evidence that we would need in order to evaluate Dr. Karp’s claims
    is information about whether or not Tertia and the surrounding island group have
    changed significantly in the past 20 years. Dr. Field conducted his observational study
    20 years ago, and it is possible that Tertia has changed significantly since then. For
    example, if we had evidence that in teh intervening years Westerners had settled on
    the island and they introduced a more typical Western-style family structure, it would
    certainly weaken Dr. Karp’s argument. In that case, the original study could have been
    accurate, and Dr. Karp’s study could be correct, as well, though his conclusion that Dr.
    Field’s method is ineffective would be seriously weakened.

    Another piece of evidence that might help us evaluate this claim involves the exact
    locations where Dr. Karp’s interviews took place. According to this article, Dr. Karp and
    his graduate students conducted interviews of “children living in the group of islands
    that includes Tertia.” If we were to learn that they never interviewed a single Tertian
    child, it would significantly weaken the conclusion. It could turn out to be the case, for
    example, that children on Tertia are raised communally, whereas children on other
    islands nearby are raised by their biological parents.

    In order to fully evaluate this article, we would also need to learn more about the
    interview questions that Dr. Karp’s team used. What exactly did they ask? We don’t
    know, nor do we know what the children’s responses actually were. What did they say
    about their biological parents? The mere fact that they speak more frequently about
    their biological parents than they do about other adults does not meant hat they are
    raised by their biological parents. It would significantly undermine Dr. Karp’s argument
    if it turned out that the children said things like how much they missed their parents or
    how their parents had left them in a communal environment. Without knowing WHAT
    the children said, it is hard to accept Dr. Karp’s conclusion.

    It is slightly more difficult to discuss the evidence we might need in order to
    evaluate the more interesting claims in Dr. Karp’s article, namely his extension of the
    results of his study to a conclusion that interview-centered methods are inherently
    more valid than observational-centered approaches. In order to fully evaluate this
    claim, in fact, we would need to look at many more examples of interview-based and
    observation-based anthropological studies and we would also need to look into
    different study designs. Perhaps Dr. Field did not conduct an effective observational
    study, but other observational approaches could be effective. In order to make such
    grandiose claims, Dr. Karp really needs a lot of additional evidence (ideally a meta -
    analysis of hundreds of anthropological studies).

    Clearly, then, we need to have additional evidence in order to get a more complete
    understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Dr. Karp’s article. We need to know
    about Tertia and the surrounding islands, whether or not they have changed over the
    past 20 years. We also need to know about study design (Dr. Karp’s and Dr. Field’s).
    And we really need a lot more information if we want to extend the results of a study
    about one island culture to all anthropological fieldwork.



相信看过OG的人,应该都知道这篇Dr. Karp的6分范文。也许你没时间看了, 那么至少,请你看一下我用红色字体标出的部分,体会一下,什么叫evidence统领全文。

同志们!该从老G北美范文的梦里醒过来了!这玩意儿根本不是一回事啊!

evidence的写作指导赫然写着:

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.

首先,要说明需要哪些具体的证据。所谓具体,可以说是越具体越好。比如你可以说:
(1)我需要一份对居民的调查
(2)我需要知道交通事故的地点,起因
(3)作者应该告诉我们,前5年的销售额如何
有时候,举evidence是需要创造力的,不是随便挑一挑逻辑错误就可以。

其次,最重要的部分,是说明这些证据会如何加强或削弱原论断,比如:

假如前5年的销售额都比现在高,那么论者的假设恐怕是站不住脚的。相反,如果不是这样,那么论者的说法就被有效支持了。

注意,所谓加强和削弱,不是简单地说if XXX, then weaken; otherwise, strengthen,而是非常具体地把其中的逻辑关系说出来,到底怎么加强和削弱了。

P.S. 说真的,我不知道为什么那么多培训机构都对写作指导持有那么轻蔑的态度。ETS恶心人的能力从来是只增不减的,那么多道重复的题目,你以为是ETS吃干饭了吗?迄今为止,都没有一本参考书对argu的四种写作指导好好研究过。我希望这个帖子能引起各位的足够重视,也希望有人能能针对不同的写作指导,制定新G的写作提纲。
