Argument 62 示范

本帖最后由 tesolchina 于 2015-7-21 22:40 编辑

argument 121 122 124

The following appeared in a memo from the director of a large group of hospitals.

"In a laboratory study of liquid antibacterial hand soaps, a concentrated solution of UltraClean produced a 40 percent greater reduction in the bacteria population than did the liquid hand soaps currently used in our hospitals. During a subsequent test of UltraClean at our hospital in Workby, that hospital reported significantly fewer cases of patient infection than did any of the other hospitals in our group. Therefore, to prevent serious patient infections, we should supply UltraClean at all hand-washing stations throughout our hospital system.”

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.


According to the director of the hospital group, the hand soap UltraClean should be supplied in order to reduce cases of serious patient infections.  Citing the lab report and the test results in some hospitals, the director argues that doing so can produce the desired results.  A number of assumptions have been made in the argument about the lab results, the hospital and the patient infection. These assumptions need to be scrutinized critically to assess the strength of the argument.


To begin with, it is assumed that the lab results of the UltraClean solution accurately reflects the performance of the hand soap in bacteria reduction in the hospitals.  While the UltraClean solution was superior in reducing bacteria in the lab, it does not follow that the UltraClean hand soap would necessarily outperform the hand soap currently used in the hospitals.  Maybe the concentration of the active ingredient in higher in the lab samples but the UltraClean hand soap may become less effective when being used when washing hands. If the UltraClean is not effective in reducing the bacteria population, the recommendation may not be helpful.  

In addition, we also need to check the assumption that the reduction of infection cases in the hospital in Workby was really a result of using UltraClean.  Maybe the hospital has recently launched a campaign to teach hospital staff and patients to wash hands thoroughly which has helped reduce infection.  Or perhaps the hospital has admitted fewer patients who are vulnerable to infection.  If other factors have contributed to the reduction of infection cases, it may not matter which brands of hand soap would be used to wash hands.


Another important assumption is that further reduction in bacteria via hand washing will necessarily reduce the number of serious infection cases.  As we all know, there are a great amount of bacteria in our hands and it is not possible to wash away all of them.  Whether or not the extra 40% bacteria reduction would actually make a difference in infection control remains an open question.  Since the director is specifically concerned with serious infection cases, we need to know the real causes of the serious infection cases in the past.  We cannot simply assume that these cases were due to bacteria in hands.  Maybe the hand soap currently used has already kept the amount of bacteria at a level for which infection is unlikely.

In conclusion, it is difficult to confirm that UltraClean would effectively reduce the cases of serious infection in the hospitals.  The assumptions discussed above have to be critically examined by taking into account more relevant information on issues such as the importance of washing hand to infection control, the similarity between UltraClean sample in the lab and the hand soap and the situation of Workby relative to other members of the hospital group.


下面是之前写的,由于主旨句没有列出三个点,结果写有点乱。上面是修改稿。

According to the director of the hospital group, the hand soap UltraClean should be supplied in order to reduce cases of serious patient infections.  Citing the lab report and the test results in some hospitals, the director argues that doing so can produce the desired results.  A number of assumptions have been made in the argument and need to be scrutinized critically to assess the strength of the argument.

As for the field tests in Workby, we cannot assume that the cases of serious infection have been prevented.  Maybe UltraClean has helped reduce the number of infection cases in Workby but all the cases being prevented are merely minor infection cases that are not so serious.  In other words, UltraClean may not have any positive effects on reducing serious infection cases, which might have been caused by bacteria from sources other than hands.

In fact, the director does not provide information about what kinds of hand soap were used in other hospitals.  If they have also used UltraClean, we cannot conclude that the use of Ultraclean has helped reduce infection cases.  Even if only Workby uses UltraClean, we do not know for sure what are the best explanations for the relatively smaller number of infection cases.  Maybe Workby is a smaller hospital with fewer patients to begin with.  Or the hospital has more patients with disease conditions that are less likely to get infections.  There are so many factors that may lead to fewer cases of infections that we cannot assume that UltraClean has played a critical role in infection reduction.

Of course, we also need to check the assumption that the reduction of infection cases in Workby was really a result of using UltraClean.  Maybe the hospitcal has recently launched a campaign to teach hospital staff and patients to wash hands thoroughly which has helped reduce infection.  Then it does not really matter which brands of hand soap would be used to wash hands.

In conclusion, it is difficult to confirm that UltraClean would effectively reduce the cases of serious infection in the hospitals.  The assumptions discussed above have to be critically examined by taking into account more relevant information on issues such as the importance of washing hand to infection control, the similarity between UltraClean sample in the lab and the hand soap and the situation of Workby relative to other members of the hospitcal group.

Argument 169 示范

本帖最后由 tesolchina 于 2015-7-8 07:56 编辑

Argument 77

The following recommendation appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.

"Two years ago, the nearby town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. Therefore, the best way to improve Hopewell's economy—and generate additional tax revenues—is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View.”

Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.



169) The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of Brindleburg to the city council.
Two years ago, the town of Seaside Vista opened a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. Since then, the Seaside Vista Tourism Board has reported a 20% increase in visitors. In addition, local banks reported a steep rise in the number of new business loan applications they received this year. The amount of tax money collected by Seaside Vista has also increased, allowing the town to announce plans to improve Seaside Vista's roads and bridges. We recommend building a similar golf course and resort hotel in Brindleburg. We predict that this project will generate additional tax revenue that the city can use to fund much-needed public improvements.

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.


The mayor recommends the construction of a golf course and a resort hotel in town to generate more tax revenue for financing infrastructure improvements. By citing the example of the town Seaside Vista who made similar moves, he argues that the projects will attract more visitors, stimulate local business activities and help the local government collect more money.  We need to answer a number of questions about the resources for tourism, the economic structure and the taxation policies of Brindleburg to evaluate the argument.

To begin with, we do not know whether the golf course and resort hotel will attract many visitors to Brindleburg.  The success of Seaside Vista may be closely related to some characteristics of the town, e.g. the beautiful scenery and the geographical proximity to sea.  Whether or not Brindleburg has the similar resources for tourism to attract the visitors is an important question for further investigation. Without such resources, it may be difficult for Brindleburg to attract tourists relying on the golf course and resort hotel alone.  Other factors such as infrastructure, safety and climate of the town also need to be taken into account to see whether tourists would find the new golf course and resort appealing. Another important question we want to ask is whether the 20% increase in visitors can actually be attributed to the contruction of golf course and resort.  If the increase is more associated with some conferences held in the town, for example, the argument would be severely undermined.

The mayor seems to reason that the increase in the number of loan applications must be strong evidence of economic growth which may then increase the tax revenue.  The reasoning may or may not be valid depending on answers to the following questions.  First, what are the main reasons why businesses apply for loan? If they need money to expand their businesses in response to higher demand from more visitors, maybe the government can collect more taxes from increased business acitvities.  Alternatively, the business loans may be more closely related to economic recession as local businesses need more money to survive the poorly performing economy.  Or the loans are for businesses completely unrelated to tourism.  In addition, we may need to ask questions about the tax laws applicable to the local government.  Specifically, can the government levy taxes on the expected increased business activities related to booming tourism and preciely how much  more tax money can be collected?  If the tax laws do not give the government the authorities to collect taxes on certain activities, then the prediction will not be accurate.

The final question we need to ask: where did Seaside Vista government collect the extra tax money? While tax revenue increased after the construction of golf course and resort, it does not follow that these two events were casually related.  Maybe the government has got more tax money from sources other than tourism, e.g. a new manufacturing factory has been built that generated more tax money.

To sum up, we need to investigate more deeply the questions discussed above and get more information about the project in order to evaluate the recommendation.

argument 174 示范



A recent sales study indicates that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent during the past five years.

Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants whose specialty is seafood.

Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about healthful eating.

Therefore, the new Captain Seafood restaurant that specializes in seafood should be quite popular and profitable.


Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be addressed in order to decide whether the conclusion and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to the questions would help to evaluate the conclusion.
According to the author, since there are no restaurants in Bay City specializing in seafood but people in the city seem to like seafood, a new restaurant with a focus on seafood should attract many guests and be profitable.  We need to ask questions about the Bay City residents’ interest in seafood, the nationwide study and the two-income couples’ eating habits and views on healthful eating to decide if the conclusion is reasonable.  More questions about the proposed seafood restaurant have to be addressed as well.  

First of all, we need to ask questions about how and why more seafood dishes were consumed and whether the increase was caused by the Bay City people’s increasing appetite for seafood.  It is possible that over the past five years the population of Bay City had grown or more tourists had come to the area.  As a result, the consumption of all types of food had increased.  Or perhaps, the increase of seafood consumption was driven by a decrease of prices in the seafood market.  In cases like these, the increase in consumption does not mean that people become more interested in seafood and a new seafood restaurant may not be very popular.  

Another important question to ask is whether the results from nationwide study can be used to predict the preference of Bay City residents.  Specifically, we need to ask if the samples used in the nationwide study can represent the Bay City residents in terms of their ages, income level and family backgrounds.  If the demographics of Bay City people are markedly different from the general population of the nation, the results of nationwide study would not be very useful for making decisions in Bay City.  

Assuming that the study results are useful, we also need to ask where the two-income couples usually have their meals and gather more information on their views on healthful eating.  Maybe the two-income couples are all very busy during the weekdays and usually have their lunches and dinners in fast food restaurants near the offices.  If they do not have time for elaborate lunches and meals, the seafood restaurants will not be attractive to them.  In the meantime, we need to know if they consider seafood as healthful food.  Perhaps many of them believe that vegetarian diet is more healthful or prefer to have food rich in dietary fibres.  If they do not consider seafood as particularly healthful, the proposed restaurant would not appeal to them.  

Finally, it is important to ask if the proposed restaurant can generate profit even if it turns out to be popular.  Many factors have to be taken into account when projecting the future profits of a business.  For example, the cost of the raw materials, the rent of the premise and the salary of the staff can all affect the overall profitability of the business.  Therefore, we need to ask more questions about these issues to decide if the restaurant is likely to make profits.  

In conclusion, investing in a seafood restaurant requires significant amount of money and resources.  Questions discussed above have to be investigated carefully in order to decide the proposed project is a good idea.

Lily 4分经验

本帖最后由 tesolchina 于 2015-7-15 10:31 编辑

刚刚收到消息Lily拿到了AW 4分,晚点会整理一下她的备考经验。Lily同学总共写了8篇argument和6篇issue,虽然总的练习量不算大,但是运气不错,遇到了练过的题目,加上本身基础不错。接下来她还会再考一次,如果能稳定在4分或者更高就更能说明参与练习的成效了。



Issue 121: some people claim that you can tell whether a nation is great by looking at the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists. Others argue that the surest indicator of a great nation is, in fact, the general welfare of all its people.

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.

很幸运 ,这篇文章之前跟着王老师练习过 ,并且也被王老师点评过 ,明白要对 great nation 先做定义 ,同时要注意 Welfare,不是well-being.所以考试的 时候 基本 就 按自己原来的 思路 写了 下来 ,虽然有个例子的细节想不起来 ,临时想了 别的办法。但整体还是比较顺畅的 写完,并且还留了 3分钟检查 。这是我第一次 居然没有超时完成。不过到底能拿 多少分,还是 得看 ETS了。。。
我觉得在 老师的 指导下,每天一篇,坚持了 两周, 还是 很有 效果的。虽然抽到做过的 题 真的 很幸运,但主要还是 跟着老师的 思路 ,把3+1的模式熟练于心 。
另外,考前我 也是 专心学习王老师的 范文和解题思路 ,并且把 自己写过的 文章又都理了一下 。

Argument 65
When Stanley Park first opened, it was the largest, most heavily used public park in town. It is still the largest park, but it is no longer heavily used. Video cameras mounted in the park's parking lots last month revealed the park's drop in popularity: the recordings showed an average of only 50 cars per day. In contrast, tiny Carlton Park in the heart of the business district is visited by more than 150 people on a typical weekday. An obvious difference is that Carlton Park, unlike Stanley Park, provides ample seating. Thus, if Stanley Park is ever to be as popular with our citizens as Carlton Park, the twon will obviously need to provide more benches, thereby converting some of the unused open areas into spaces suitable for socializing.

Write a response in which you examine the sated and /or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

基本上也是按 老师练习的 思路 ,先把几个切入点找出来 :the assumption based on
1. the data cited was only of one month: possibilities on the data of longer period, other ways to reach the park by visitors.
2. the comparison between the two parks: possibilities on the exact amount of visitors
3. the different location of the two parks: possibilities on different attractive points of the park
30分钟内 完成全文 。

虽然不确定ETS会给 几分, 但对我这个几乎就 没有限时完成过 全文的 人 来说 ,能在考场,迅速理清思路,把全文写完,这个和 王老师的 强化训练是分不开的 。总之,作文就是要练 。
再次感谢王老师 !

1 反思总结

1)你目前写issue和argument的开头有没有形成自己的套路?有没有什么困难?

issue: 对1+3的模式有初步的概念,但实施时,不能让判官清楚地看到,说明我的表达和组织仍然有问题

argument: 感觉比Issue容易些,如果理解没有偏差的情况下,基本可以抓住三个切入点

2)写issue的时候使用1+3模型有没有什么困难?其中包括写出有层次的主旨句以及呼应主旨句的主题句?

如果issue讨论的是我陌生的话题,即使借鉴别人的范文,自己写起来仍然底气不足。
同样,我也是address challenge的题目处理的不好。


3)写argument的时候使用1+3模型有没有什么困难?其中包括写出有层次的主旨句以及呼应主旨句的主题句?

这个好些,但也有如何断句的问题。

4)issue中间段选取例子和展开讨论例子方面有什么困难或心得体会?

信息面匮乏,找不到合适的列子就很难展开有力的论证。

5)argument的中间段展开有何心得体会?困难问题?

学会讨论多种可能性,但展开的还不够深入。

6)tesolchina及其他同学的点评里,你最主要的收获有哪些?

1。用词不当
2.中间段的展开不够深入,不该是例子的堆砌, 而是如何把一个例子分析清楚,从而支持主题句。
3.对于题目中提到的address challenge 重视不够

7)本周写全文花了多长时间?25分钟写完全文有什么困难?

issue 一个小时,argument 即使在老师的提纲下,仍然35分钟
我总是不断重写,纠结这个表达有没有问题。

8)自己的病句属于哪些类型?打算如何改进?

断句,用词不准,多看些文章,把当年的语感找回来。

9)博客274楼提到天下文章一大抄,并鼓励版友在多层面上借鉴tesolchina的范文。在这方面你有何心得体会?或者问题困难?

Argument比较容易抄,因为容易理解,很快形成自己的思路,写起来就比较顺。
Issue,如果是自己陌生的话题,抄起来也费劲,总得形成自己的观点才能写吧。还是我没有领会“抄”的精髓?


3 学习计划

虽然还有一个月的时间,但真正能复习的时间很少了。
希望把所有陌生的题目都能有提纲和例子,形成自己的思路。
高频的题目可以限时再练(I)5+(A)5。
如果能做到这些就真的已经很尽力了。


4 励志鸡汤鸡血

外企的在职妈妈,工作强度大,业余时间要带娃,还来折腾考G,除了老公和我爸妈,谁都没敢说。或许出了国,念了书,回来还不一定能找到现在这份薪水的工作。
初衷就是不想让自己变成温水里的青蛙,想给孩子树立不断学习,不断挑战和完善自我的榜样。只有不断开拓自己的眼界,才能给孩子带来更宽广的视野和平台。
谢谢老师和同学们的鼓励和指点,让我看到自己思维和表达上的问题,给了我很大的启发,谢谢!

不好意思,现在才 叫小结

我的作文指导的核心就是1+3模型,要求主旨句列出三个分论点到主题句逐个展开讨论。而这三个分论点往往是通过对题目的某些关键概念的分类讨论展开的。目前似乎大家都能掌握这个模型,但是在具体的分论点的设置上还会出现问题。比如找的点不符合题意。这种情况下勉强写出来会浪费时间。有同学提出主旨句要概括三个点有困难,问能不能简单一些不概括。我觉得这种概括的能力最好能掌握吧。

我觉得这个框架非常有用 ,但有时候切入点可能找的 不好,以至于展开时 会有困难  
   
2. 关于限时是我反复强调的。似乎有些同学已经有了进展。我特别鼓励大家将思考和写作分开,可以花很多时间思考,最好能想细致一些,考虑到中间段如何展开。也就是所谓的打腹稿。这部分不必限时。但一旦开始写作,就要进入应试状态,坚决要求自己在25-28分钟内完成全文。宁愿写简单一些也不能纵容自己超时。

最近的一篇Argument总算有进步了,但Issue还需要改进,主要还是卡在推理的 细节和语言表达上 。

3. 这周我的范文里用到一个下定义的技巧,大家都有模仿。注意我对伟大国家的定义包括了当代与历史两个视角,也就是通过这个定义,也为后文构建了讨论的框架。关于这个下定义的技巧希望今后还有练习的机会。另外,大家在下定义的时候没有不太注意强调是自己的定义,而是以一种as a matter of fact的口气在写,我觉得很有必要强调一下hedge的重要性。其实所有的论述都有一个肯定程度的问题。除了数学作为一个完整的逻辑体系可以做到无懈可击外,大部分的实证科学其实都是有可能被证伪的,也就是充满了各种不确定性。因此,我们在写文章的时候,一定要注意调整这种肯定的程度,不要让读者抓住把柄。

非常同意这点,用In my view,比较妥当 。

4. 本周我的范文里也用到一种signposting的技巧,类似 In the following texts, I will first ... and then I will ... 这种写法对于铺垫后文也是很有帮助的。希望大家能有意识的模范这种写法。

谢谢老师,会多加留意的 。

5. 关于句子的表达仍然是比较大的问题。感觉大部分同学的语法问题都还好,主要问题还是词语的选择和搭配以及某些句子让人看不懂。我建议大家能把有问题的句子集中起来,放到句子加油站。另外,还要考虑多模仿范文你的句子。
   
同意,学习老师和同学的 一些句式,会帮助我 加快速度

6. 本周开始尝试用列表的方式,要求学生对每句话在文中所起的作用或完成的动作进行概括,然后我会逐句对内容和表达方面的问题展开点评。一开始编辑表格比较麻烦,后来发现可以现在Excel里编辑,然后复制粘贴到论坛上。由学生自己做动作分析可以帮助同学更加清楚的认识到自己每句话在段落和全文的位置和功用。这是我的猜测,希望更多的了解同学们的感受。另外,通过这种点评,我发现很多同学中间段的连贯和衔接还是有很大的问题。有时候前一句讲的内容,到了后面就不见了。想了解大家有没有遇到这方面的问题。

开始有点晕,习惯了 就好用了。 看起来会更方便些吧。

7. argument的核心技巧是探索其他可能性,这一点大家都能理解。但是这个技巧的关键在于你探索的可能性需要是靠谱的,就是要基于原论证的内容和一些常识。比如有同学在灭虫公司那道题里提出要考虑除了A公司和B公司,有没有其他公司。我觉得这个就不太靠谱。

同意,严格尊重原题的 内容,对阅读中的 逻辑题也有帮助。

8. 最后,下周练的四道题,还没有选好。希望大家提点建议。选题时请考虑高频、题材以及写作指引。argument方面至少要练一篇alternative explanation。
我同意楼上同学的 推荐,也是觉得抽象题很难把握。

老师 GRE作文可以全篇使用第一人称么?

第一人称一般用于表达自己的观点 或者告诉读者你将要做什么 (signposting)
可以用 但是也应该有客观的陈述和说理 这部分就不宜用第一人称  
具体的话 你可以看看我的文章
