昨天考的是:
作文:78.
People's attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by society as a whole.
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.作者: Candyisthebest 时间: 2015-6-29 10:53:52
考题:
issue33/109 As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious.
argu 题号不知道多少呃,我考前argu练得少,没有写过这篇。大概是说 school driver's education program (several accidents involved teenagers; parents lack of time&tight budget; driving schools are expensive; school offer effective and mandatory program&only solution)
issue 这篇之前练习过,老师反馈批改过,不过但是这篇作文写的问题比较大,我没有扣准As we acquire more knowledge这点来写,例子没有反映more comprehensible or complex and mysterious。考场上就觉得,如果自己练习过后再修改一遍就好了!不过还是硬着头皮写:分类还是我原来的思路,学习初级阶段越来越容易理解,因为照着课本,用的工具越多解决问题的办法越多;高级阶段分为两类,科学类学科越来越纠结,因为要创新方法,揭开实物复杂的一面;高级阶段艺术类也是越来越纠结,毕加索学习了很多其他画派,经历了离婚等等,画的东西越来越看不懂了,已经自成一派。
考题;
Issue 140
Some people believe that universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study. Others believe that universities should not force students to take any courses other than those that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields.
Argument 1,就是那个woven basket的
Issue之前练过差不多的(I15,虽然老师没有来得及看),所以思路还是比较快。。我的论点是其他科也能benefit major study和future career,第三段是回应写可能的challenge和solution
现在觉得回头应该写一下全文让老师看看TuT写完的时候觉得写的还不错,但是现在想想好像有点跑题啊。。。
另外速度方面还是不行,写完就检查了第一段,估计后面还有一堆拼写错误
Argument之前练过,但是老师没有批改,我就大概按照自己写的思路写的。感觉思路应该还可以。语言方面估计就是缺少多样性,翻来覆去的bring the baskets to Lithos。。。写完了也就检查了两段,估计后面也会有typo
题目是 Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study.
要求: Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or diagree 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 be true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
******************************画外音*********************************
哇擦,原谅我暴粗口。如果我记忆没错,这个写作要求显然不在题库里。我是说,ETS给我的题目是原题,就是Issue-13,但是写作的instruction显然不是Issue 13的那个 要我adress 对手reasons或者examples。我记得我在考场特意看了写作指导,里面有个词眼我一眼就看到了,"statement might or might not be true "。所以我对写作要求的回忆应该是正确的,除非我当时紧张的连看英文字母都看花眼了。
第四段:在教育系统中,学生是“主角”,大学服务学生。个人认为大学帮助学生增长额外见识是好的,但是应该有更好的方式。
更好的方式就是大学可以提供as many lessons as they can,然后把选择权给学生。让学生根据自己的major和realistic situation来选择是否上以及上哪些额外的课程。
题目是: Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
要求: 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.
另外,发现一个很严重的问题。题目要求explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument,
我中间段展开举例的时候全部写的是 weaken the argument。没有提及有可能支持argument的情况。
不过当时担心没写完,所以就一直写。就算真的有想strength的情况,估计我也不敢冒险去写。因为怕时间不够。
以上就是考场回忆,望各位看官轻拍。

Issue:Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition.
考前把老师的作文都看了一遍,这篇我分领域写了。记得老师的提纲里好像是这样~~
开头3+1
(1)想搞科研的要长期(2)想搞学术的要长期(3)想搞演艺的要短期
遗憾的是自己贪心结尾多写了几个字,只剩下一分钟检查拼写,结果没检查完。
Argument:165、Humans arrived in the Kaliko Islands about 7,000 years ago, and within 3,000 years most of the large mammal species that had lived in the forests of the Kaliko Islands were extinct. Previous archaeological findings have suggested that early humans generally relied on both fishing and hunting for food; since archaeologists have discovered numerous sites in the Kaliko Islands where the bones of fish were discarded, it is likely that the humans also hunted the mammals. Furthermore, researchers have uncovered simple tools, such as stone knives, that could be used for hunting. The only clear explanation is that humans caused the extinction of the various mammal species through excessive hunting.
Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument.
考前也把所有的Arg提纲列了一遍,老师的范文看了一遍,考到这题目觉得挺幸运的,至少还记得提纲是啥。
开头:3+1 王道!
(1)没有接触过的evidence =没接触
(2)没有骨头=没吃过 (我用了老师的例子:骨头被用来祭祀、装饰之类的)
(3)climate change没有人类的影响
基本上就这样,希望上4 ~

6.28日 GRE考试作文题
===========考场回忆 issue=============
考试题目:
Issue 140 Some people believe that universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study. Others believe that universities should not force students to take courses other than those will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or diagree 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 be true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
-第一段我并没有使用自己惯用的陶瓷句作为开头 而是单刀直入 直接说agree 主旨句展开分为两点--有利于学习major有利于与他人交往 接下来disagree with argument that 人们不应该学习那些对未来事业没有帮助的学科
-中间段展开时 每段的开头全部以分论点开头 中间以例子展开 例子主要以说明为主 并不是某位科学家的英雄事迹的复述 比如学习写作有利于学习计算机专业的童鞋写出一篇出色的论文等;第四段提出他人的观点进行了反驳 主要说还是有利于future career 更好的交际能力有助于同事了解你、展示自己 从而更有可能获得提升
-末段总结主旨句
===========考场回忆 argument=============
argument 1
Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
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.
