[问题求助] 急请教前辈们 有关ETS的Analysis of Issue 的理解（从GRE电子书2.0中看到） [复制链接]

How do I write a well-balanced essay?

You should always acknowledge both sides of an issue. Among the sample essays there is not one irrefutable essay, yet you must pick a side. The trick to doing this is to persuade the reader that, despite the counter-arguments, your position is the strongest one overall.

Try to "straddle the fence" between both sides of the issue by making limited use of qualifiers.

This will allow you to acknowledge the opposing view and appear scholarly. (Note that overuse of qualifiers will make the essay appear too vague and dilute an argument you are making.)

In general, take a politically correct opinion or an opinion that a majority of top scorers might take. However, if you do not think you can write an effective politically-correct essay, adjust your content to fit what you can comfortably express. In general, though, stay uncontroversial and balanced. Do not use it as a forum to be an ideologue. Writing a highly charged essay might evoke a bias from the reader (if he disagrees with you) and it also may confuse the Erater, since you essay will not resemble any essays it has stored in its database. Try to approach each issue in a dispassionate and balanced manner.

Nevertheless, you must be sure to take a stand. You must pick a side that will "win out" in the conclusion/introduction. The test instructions specifically tell you to pick a side. Make sure to disagree or agree with the question's statement.

Note: Do not write an unsubstantiated opinion, write an argument that consists of your thesis and logical arguments to support it.

大加的词组中，为什么要限制QUALIFIERS的使用啊，它不是”修饰词“的意思吗？它后面THIS WILL ALLOW...解释我能看懂中文意思，但对其并不理解。我想主要还是对qualifier不理解，请教前辈们~~~

第二个地方：

Template

1) Introductory Paragraph (2-4 sentences)

Make sure to keep your introductory paragraph concise, strong and effective.

What the introductory paragraph should accomplish:

Explain the issue (briefly).

Show that you understand the full complexities of the issue (for example, by recognizing competing interests or various factors).

上面这句是说表现出自己对题目复杂性的理解吧，但对competinginterests我一点都不理解，它什么意思啊？查了字典也没有答案~还请前辈们指点
