【备考日志】草莓酱拌饭小组 by Napery—小手札记：世界是我们想象的画布。

NaperyUID: 2710990

我们在写一个working thesis时，强调这个thesis符合这些特征：
1.
有一个明确清晰的topic(indication of what the thesis is about)和angle(what your own ideas are about the topic)，即弄清楚文章的对象和文章的中心，表明自己的立场，it should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence；
2.
确保文章的angle不会过于的broad或narrow，我们应当discusses the fine details necessary to adequately present a topic and keep readers' interest，但不能缩小到作者找不到合适的info来论述文章;
3.
一定要做到focused. "Focus" is determined disciplinarily as well as by our purposes. Focus comes out of what was achieved before. 我们再写文章前应先确定文章的focus；
4.
确保TS与论述的内容有完全的一致性no more and no less. 例如：
如果你要写的是兴奋剂的话，"Drugs should not be legalized"这个TS宽泛了；如果你要讨论的是摔跤和足球，那么"Boxing should be outlawed"这个TS又过于狭隘了。所以我们应当仔细的分析题目，正确的选取论证的角度和思路。
5.
在完善我们的TS时，应当检查我们是否犯了“so what”的错误！因此，我们应当了解文章是写给谁看的？什么样的信息或内容可以吸引住读者？问自己，如果是自己读自己的文章，是否有兴趣？问自己，为什么读者对于自己的specific topic感兴趣或不敢兴趣？
6.
最好可以通过TS的angle来暗示我们论证文章的逻辑结构；
7.
在作文最后的成品出来之前，要保证我们的TS是一个working thesis；
8.
Our topic may change as we write, so we may need to revise thesis statement to reflect exactly what we have discussed in the paper. It is perfectly okay to change your thesis!

To create your thesis statement, consider the following:

What is the essay prompt asking you to do? (It will be helpful to look at the key words that you’ve underlined). Are you being asked to describe something, compare the advantages of disadvantages of a topic, argue an opinion, or something else?
What is your main idea?
What are your subpoints?

Think about these questions in relation to the sample essay topic.

What is one important goal you would like to achieve in the next few years?
In your essay, identify that one goal and explain how you plan to achieve it. Use your personal observations, experience, and knowledge to support your essay.

What is the essay prompt asking you to do?
The sample essay question asks the writer to identify one goal and explain how she or he will achieve it.
What is your main idea?
The main idea our example writer has chosen in response to this sample essay topic is getting a better job.
What are your subpoints?
Our example writer has chosen three subpoints to support her main idea: 1. finish school, 2. prepare a resume, and 3. search for jobs.

Your thesis statement should respond directly to the essay prompt and sum up your main idea.
It is also helpful to preview your subpoints in the thesis statement.
So, once you have everything identified (what the essay prompt is asking you to do, what your main point is, and what your subpoints are), you can put it altogether.

A thesis statement for the sample essay topic might sound like:
"A major goal I would like to accomplish in the next few years is getting a better job.
My plan to get a better job is to finish school, prepare a resume, and then search for jobs."
- Or -
"It is my goal in the next few years to get a better job by finishing school, preparing a resume,
and then searching for jobs."

Purpose and Thesis

Writers choose from a variety of purposes for writing. They may write to express their thoughts in a personal letter, to explain concepts in a physics class, to explore ideas in a philosophy class, or to argue a point in a political science class.

Once they have their purpose in mind (and an audience for whom they are writing), writers may more clearly formulate their thesis.

The thesis, claim, or main idea of an essay is related to the purpose.

It is the sentence or sentences that fulfill the purpose and that state the exact point of the essay.

For example, if a writer wants to argue that high schools should strengthen foreign language training, her thesis sentence might be as follows:

"Because Americans are so culturally isolated, we need a national policy that supports increased foreign language instruction in elementary and secondary schools."

How Thesis is Related to Purpose
The following examples illustrate how subject, purpose and thesis are related.
The subject is the most general statement of the topic.
The purpose narrows the focus by indicating whether the writer wishes to express or explore ideas or actually explain or argue about the topic.
The thesis sentence, claim, or main idea narrows the focus even farther. It is the sentence or sentences which focuses the topic for the writer and the reader.

Subject	Purpose	Thesis, Claim, or Main Idea
Childhood experiences	To express your feelings and explain how one childhood experience was formative.	The relentless competition between me and my sisters distorted my easygoing personality.
Heart disease	To inform readers about the relationships between Type A personalities and heart attacks.	Type A personalities do not necessarily have an abnormally high risk of suffering heart attacks.
The death penalty	To persuade readers that the death penalty should be used.	Despite our belief that killing is wrong, a state-administered death penalty is fair, just, and humane.

Thesis statements/ Purpose statements

A thesis statement is a sentence that makes an assertion about a topic and predicts how the topic will be developed. It does not simply announce a topic: it says something about the topic.

Good: X has made a significant impact on the teenage population due to its . . .
Bad: In this paper, I will discuss X.

A purpose statement announces the purpose, scope, and direction of the paper. It tells the reader what to expect in a paper and what the specific focus will be.

"This paper examines . . .," "The aim of this paper is to . . .," and "The purpose of this essay is to . . ." are common beginnings.

This paper will examine the ecological destruction of the Sahel preceding the drought and the causes of this disintegration of the land.
The focus will be on the economic, political, and social relationships which brought about the environmental problems in the Sahel.

1.
A thesis statement makes a promise
to the reader
about the scope, purpose, and direction of the paper. It summarizes
the conclusions that the writer has reached about the topic.
A purpose statement makes a promise to the reader about the development of the argument but does not preview the particular conclusions that the writer has drawn.

2.
A thesis statement is generally located near the end of the introduction. Sometimes in a long paper, the thesis will be expressed in several sentences or an entire paragraph.
A purpose statement usually appears toward the end of the introduction. The purpose statement may be expressed in several sentences or even an entire paragraph.

3.
A thesis statement is focused and specific enough to be proven within the boundaries of the paper. Key words (nouns and verbs) should be specific, accurate, and indicative of
the range of research, thrust of the argument or analysis, and the organization of supporting information.
A purpose statement is specific enough to satisfy the requirements of the assignment. Purpose statements are common in research
papers in some academic disciplines, while in other disciplines they are considered too blunt or direct.

The following example combines a purpose statement and a thesis statement (bold).
The goal of this paper is to examine the effects of Chile's agrarian reform on the lives of rural peasants. The nature of the topic dictates the use of both a chronological and a comparative analysis of peasant lives at various points during the reform period. . . The Chilean reform example provides evidence that land distribution is an essential component of both the improvement of peasant conditions and the development of a democratic society. More extensive and enduring reforms would likely have allowed Chile the opportunity to further expand these horizons.

偶然发现的一篇文章，觉得有的说的还不错~
大家可以看看~~

写学术论文是一件让人焦头烂额的事情。弥缝现在就在忙活一篇1000+的英文哲学作文，想想就让弥缝头皮发麻。不得不说，长篇论文是学生的心头大患。当你选定好一个论题后，就得长篇大论几多页，不知让多少学生望而生畏。最近几个博客都翻译了lifehack.org上对于学生的如何写好研究论文的建议文章。弥缝在加上了自己的一些见解后，把它们串在一起，在这里做个总结，希望对所有学生都有所帮助。


论文破题技巧

提出强有力的主题。你的主题表明了你的意图：你打算在论文里阐述或证明什么。以下一些类型的主题可能会抓住你的（以及教授的）注意：


挑战某个误解。挑战某一普遍被接受的理论或其它类似于“人人都认为是如此”的东西，证明它其实并非如此。

找隐蔽的联系。比方说用科学理念来解释文学概念，反之亦然。
举例说明：波尔理论关于原子结构的分析为观察哈姆雷特与这出戏次要人物的关系提供了另一种方式。
这个主意是为了帮助你在观察或思考某一概念时能找到一条全新的让人惊讶的道路。


为“坏人”正名。为被普遍认为是“坏人”的历史人物或文学形象正名，著名生物学家史蒂夫杰古尔德就是这方面的一个大师，他撰文表示：拉马克，罗马主教八世——大多数人将他描述为科学进程上的阻碍者，实际上他是当时外科科学的佼佼者。找到被你的读者不公平对待或被恶意诽谤的人物或行为（提示：我会避免用这种方式对待希特勒，不管你写得多好，没人会欣赏你为此作的努力，并把希特勒当好人看的）。

时代技术、社会结构和文化解构经典作品。灰姑娘和简·奥斯汀笔下的爱玛在今天的合作社会会成为怎样的女人？牛顿和朱利叶斯·凯撒会如何使用苹果笔记本呢？
古时的技术、社会或文化传统思考现今社会。朱利叶斯·凯撒会怎样想杰克·韦尔或比尔·盖茨？简·奥斯汀会如何思考当今的职业女性呢？


利用自己的经验作为资源。使用个人经验可以让你的论文既生动又明确——还能让你更投入到写作当中（谁不爱谈论自己呢？）

心中要有目标读者。绝对不要为了你的教授而写。想像你在对朋友或家人解释你的观点；想像这篇文章将成为《时代》的封面文章，或者在研究领域的学术期刊上发表。为自己塑造一个目标读者，你就是在为他而写。论文很容易沦为让人觉得无趣和厌烦的文章，不仅仅是对你的教授，更可能是对你。只有这样你的写作才不会使人昏昏入睡，也使得文章目的更加明确，以及对内容提高了审核标准（扪心自问：“我这样解释，读者是否还有疑问呢？”）。

Analyzing the Thesis to Gather and Shape Information

The thesis is a powerful sentence in an essay, and it's a powerful tool for writers.
Once you have a thesis sentence, you can analyze it to help you determine:
the type of information and evidence that you need to support the thesis, and the order of that support.

For example, what kind and order of information do you expect in the essay if you read the following thesis sentences?

Children enjoy professional wrestling for many reasons.

This thesis has a topic, "professional wrestling," and an angle, or an idea about the topic, that "children enjoy it for many reasons."

You might logically expect support that provides the different reasons children enjoy professional wrestling:
there's a lot of colorful spectacle involved, there are "good guys" and "bad guys," and children are allowed to make noise rooting for[支持] their preferred player.
On the other hand, you probably would not expect information about the history of professional wrestling, the ways in which professionals become involved in the sport, or the pros and cons of allowing children to watch the simulated violence.
You wouldn't expect this type of information because the thesis idea doesn't plan for it--it only indicates that the essay will explain the reasons why children enjoy professional wrestling.

Those reasons may be in any logical order, as this particular thesis doesn't indicate which reason comes first or second or third.
The writer can rank the reasons as he/she sees fit, perhaps moving from the least to the most important reason to increase the reader's interest and involvement as the reader moves through the essay.

Although many people consider vocational education (such as computer training) more immediately beneficial than liberal education (such as a history course), liberal education benefits learners by teaching them to assess and evaluate information.

This thesis has a topic, "liberal education," and an angle, "liberal education benefits learners."

You might logically expect the essay to include an explanation of the benefits of liberal education.
But there's more going on in this thesis sentence; you might expect a bit more than just an explanation of benefits.
The writer starts by setting up a contrast between vocational and liberal education, and the writer ends by actually listing three of the benefits of liberal education.

So...you might expect some explanation of the benefits of vocational education first, as a means of getting into the main focus of the essay.
And you'd expect the explanation of liberal education's benefits to move from "apply" to "analyze" to "evaluate," in that order. On the other hand, you probably would not expect an explanation of the U.S. system of higher education, an explanation of the various types of vocational education programs on the college level, or a comparison of liberal education in the U.S. with other countries--the thesis just doesn't indicate these ideas.
What the thesis does indicate, in this case, is the content plus the order of that content.

Many communities have found other uses for shopping malls built during the merchandising expansion of the early 1980s and deserted during downsizing of the late 1990s. Malls have been turned into town offices, senior centers, multiplex movie theatres, and even rollerskating rinks. This experience points out, in miniature, two general characteristics of U.S. society, the quick embracing of something new and the ability to reinvent itself.

What's the topic of this thesis?
Is it "shopping malls" or is it "characteristics of U.S. society?"
And what's the angle, that "communities have found other uses for malls" or that "U.S. society embraces new things and can reinvent itself?"

If you look at the thesis and take apart the ideas, you'll see that the focus is on "characteristics of U.S. society" and the main idea is that "U.S. society embraces new things and can reinvent itself."
The language states that the example of shopping malls is just that--one example that shows, in miniature, how this reinvention has occurred.

So, what would you expect in the body of the essay after reading this thesis?
Perhaps there will be more information related to the shopping mall example.
Perhaps there will be additional information that offers other examples of major trends in the U.S. that have been embraced and then reinvented.
In either case, you know that the focus will be on "new" and "reinvented," the major concepts of the thesis.
This thesis does not indicate the specific items that the writer intends to use as evidence, nor does it indicate any specific order for the support.
Yet it still is a relatively sophisticated thesis sentence in the depth and quality of its ideas; you know, as a reader, that you're probably not going to get a surface treatment of an idea in this essay.

So even though the thesis is relatively simple in form (it sticks to the basic topic/angle format), it's relatively sophisticated in idea.

As you can see, analyzing the thesis sentence can help you as a reader--it lets you know what to expect.
Analyzing the thesis sentence also can help you as a writer.
Once you write a thesis, set it aside and then come back to it and analyze it to help you determine the type and order of support that you need to provide.

小爪子深究Argument

之前提过ARGUE的definition，这里找到一个很形象的例子来说明，到底what is an argument?

Think about attorneys arguing a criminal "Who dunnit?"
        The prosecutor claims the gardener did it:
        The gardener's attorney says, "Prove it!"

The burden falls on the prosecutor arguing the case to supply the damning evidence.
The defense need only counter the claim with an argument casting doubt on the prosecution.

        Facing the same audience, each attorney will try to persuade the jury.
        The judge sees to it that the arguments are presented in an orderly fashion.
        One will inevitably hold more water than the other.

After considering the merits of each, the jury will return.
The bailiff will hand the judge a folded piece of paper.

        The verdict will either be: "Guilty-the evidence is overwhelming-the gardener did it" or,
        "Not-it's doubtful the gardener did it-the evidence was insufficient."

旧话重提：
An argument = presentation of evidence that supports a particular claim or position regarding an issue.

Its persuasive strength rests on
the rhetorical skills of the author-the art of wielding the rational,
emotional and stylistic tools of language in a skillful and conscious effort to persuade.
Its logic is built upon
rational premises and follows to a conclusion reasonable people are willing to accept.

Our Purpose:
discussing the logical soundness of the author's case
How to make it:
by critically examining the line of reasoning and the use of evidence.


Parts of an Argument

Argumentative essays must establish a clear thesis and follow sound reasoning.

The structure of the argumentative essay is held together by the following:

一、A clear, concise, and defined thesis statement that occurs in the first paragraph of the essay.

In the first paragraph or introduction, students should set the context by reviewing the topic in a general way. Next the students should present the thesis statement.
It is essential that this thesis statement be appropriately narrowed to follow the guidelines set forth in the assignment, which will be quite helpful to compose an effective or persuasive essay.

首先，从ARGUE的定义可以得知，ARGUE的主题是a debatable issue，
既然是debatable，那么显然一个ARGUE的发生至少是建立在两者之上的。
两者或者更多人之间不同的立场共同组成了我们所说的ARGUE，
所以，一个ARGUE中应当包括支持者或者反对者，
无论支持还是反对，他们都很清楚的表明了自己的立场，
并以此为准则，提供充分的、强有力的证据来证明自己的观点。

我们在写ARGUE的introduction时，在这个debatable issue的背景下，
要针对的就是[set the context by reviewing the topic in a general way]:
1. 作者明确指出的个人立场或观点是什么，explicit claims,positions,statements,conclusions;
2. 作者提供的evidence是否sufficient and overwhelming to bear his claim's weight；
3. 作者论证过程中哪些细节without clear and strong foundation的;
4. 为了达到effective and persuasive，作者的claims少了哪些必不可缺的信息，other possible explanations；

the Passage in the Argument Task的topic是一个debatable issue，
针对作者的conclusions，以及在这个topic的context下，我们要在文章里表达出来的也必然是：
1. 我们的claim about the author's conclusions;
2. 我们用来support the claim的reasons and evidence;
其实，就如同题目中作者论证自己观点的过程.

因此，我们要注意，一个好的Thesis Statement应当符合以下几点：
1. The Thesis statement or main claim must be debatable
    In other words, the thesis must be something that people could reasonably have differing opinions on.
         因为我们写ARGUE的目的就在于通过论述reasons and evidence来说服读者，使读者相信我们的论断是正确的。
         如果我们一开始确定的thesis就是一个公认的事实，那么就没有任何理由去argue了。
2. 前面的日记里已经提到了TS的一些特点，就不细说了。

举一些例子来说明怎样算是debatable：

Example of a non-debatable thesis statement:
Pollution is bad for the environment.

This thesis statement is not debatable.
首先，pollution一词本身就是一个贬义词，当然是bad了。
其次，pollution是经科学认证的、大家公认的一个社会问题，
         无论是pollution的范围、程度、影响都是undesirable的，没有人会认为污染是个好东西吧。

Example of a debatable thesis statement:
At least twenty-five percent of the federal budget should be spent on limiting pollution.

This is an example of a debatable thesis.
首先，一般情况下，一些人会觉得应该spend the nation's money来解决污染问题；
其次，有的人觉得国家应该投资科技或者教育或者基础设施等等；
第三，不一定非得有政府出资，有人会建议由企业合作出资等。

Another example of a debatable thesis statement:
America's anti-pollution efforts should focus on privately owned cars.

In this example there is room for disagreement between rational individuals.
因为有些人会认为 focusing on recycling programs会更加有效一些

      
最后，说说introduction。

Getting off to a good start can make or break you, which is why your introduction is so important.
Think about throwing a dinner party: Your guests are the audience. You plan a menu and set the table.
Before you serve the entrée you serve an appetizer and introduce those who are meeting for the first time.
Your introduction should put your guests on common ground-at ease with each other-before the main course,
your argument, is served. When dinner is over, your argument made,
your guests stay on for coffee and dessert, your conclusion.

Introduction写得好的标准在于： [摘自awinro]
begin by briefly summarizing the argument and
then explicitly stating and developing the main points of the critique

关于具体的如何写好ARGUE的开头，有太多的帖子值得研究了。。
之后单独找一层楼再再非常非常仔细地认真地深究好多好多好多好了。。。

二、Clear and logical transitions between the introduction, body, and conclusion.
Transitions are the mortar that holds the foundation of the essay together.
Without logical progression of thought, the reader is unable to follow the essay’s argument, and the structure will collapse.
Transitions should wrap up the idea from the previous section and introduce the idea that is to follow in the next section.

ARGUE的思想再怎么精华，句式再怎么多样化，词语再怎么丰富精准，没有恰当巧妙的衔接，这篇文章依旧是篇败笔，只是观点的堆砌。
无论是thesis statement还是topic sentence不仅仅是为作者自身写作而服务的，还帮助读者的了解文章的中心、行文思路以及迅速定位想知道的信息。
[咳咳，之前写的issue和argue貌似都很混乱，东蹿西跳的，汗死，难为批改的同学们了，话说，还是得好好研究吧。。。]

There are four basic mechanical considerations in providing transitions between ideas:
using transitional expressions;
repeating key words and phraes;
using pronoun reference;
using parallel form.

三、Body paragraphs that include evidential support.
Each paragraph should be limited to the discussion of one general idea.
This will allow for clarity and direction throughout the essay.
In addition, such conciseness creates an ease of readability for one’s audience.
It is important to note that each paragraph in the body of the essay must have some logical connection to the thesis statement in the opening paragraph.
Some paragraphs will directly support the thesis statement with evidence collected during research.
It is also important to explain how and why the evidence supports the thesis (warrant).
However, argumentative essays should also consider and explain differing points of view regarding the topic.
Depending on the length of the assignment, students should dedicate one or two paragraphs of an argumentative essay to discussing conflicting opinions on the topic.
Rather than explaining how these differing opinions are wrong outright, students should note how opinions that do not align with their thesis might not be well informed or how they might be out of date.

四、Evidential support (whether factual, logical, statistical, or anecdotal).
The argumentative essay requires well-researched, accurate, detailed, and current information to support the thesis statement and consider other points of view.
Some factual, logical, statistical, or anecdotal evidence should support the thesis.
However, students must consider multiple points of view when collecting evidence.
As noted in the paragraph above, a successful and well-rounded argumentative essay will also discuss opinions not aligning with the thesis.
It is unethical to exclude evidence that may not support the thesis.
It is not the student’s job to point out how other positions are wrong outright, but rather to explain how other positions may not be well informed or up to date on the topic.

五、A conclusion that does not simply restate the thesis, but readdresses it in light of the evidence provided.
It is at this point of the essay that students may begin to struggle.
This is the portion of the essay that will leave the most immediate impression on the mind of the reader.
Therefore, it must be effective and logical. Do not introduce any new information into the conclusion;
rather, synthesize the information presented in the body of the essay.
Restate why the topic is important, review the main points, and review your thesis.
You may also want to include a short discussion of more research that should be completed in light of your work.

随便写写。

看了草木前辈精华里给的网站。

这真是个漂亮的网站。

让我有一种想要将里面的东西全部消化掉的冲动。

可惜我的效率比较低。

做事喜欢一点点的来。

在草木前辈的资料的基础上，查找了一些相同的文章资料。

毕竟这些是前辈们总结出来的精华。

所以觉得有必要多了解一些，深究一下。

这样的话或许更能加深印象，完善自己的理解。

这应该也算是一个小小的思考过程吧。


看了些文章，觉得很是有收获的。很开心。

就拿thesis这个来说吧。

在看这些资料之前，个人觉得一个好的thesis大概就是提纲挈领，传达文章的中心思想而已。

但实际上，事实证明我的想法仅仅是scratch the surface而已。

一个绝佳的thesis statement，首先是我们对于所给ASSIGNMENT做出的一个回应，表达的是由我们提炼出来的main idea，
或者说，就是全文的focus。

其次，还能暗示文章的脉络，这是我所忽略的地方。
这让我想起了“望闻问切”之说，一个绝佳的thesis只需通过望，便可以知道这篇文章的“症状”。
或许，说是“症状”不大恰当，但也差不多指的就是这篇文章的外观特征，我觉得就是结构吧。
起码，可以通过这个thesis定位至我们想要的信息源。

例如前面说的那个teach students how to assess and evaluate info.
对应的文章结构就是apply-analyze-evaluate

看了这个例子，有种恍然顿悟的大喜之情，觉得这个例子真是经典，顿时也就明白了这个暗示结构的含义。

没有想到，我们要保证thesis的flexiblity，始终能够与我们文章叙述保持一致，无论是内容还是暗示的结构上。
我们有时会卡死自己。
硬性要求自己写的一定要完全按照最初定下的thesis来，但在写的时候发现有的细节不易于表达。
这个时候其实应该适当的改动thesis，使之符合我们熟悉的信息，而不是大费周章的去找难点的相关信息。

我们不曾想过将thesis拆分成两个部分：topic & angle 来帮助我们定义自己的thesis。
事实上，这两个词已经告诉了我们一个基本的TS应该包括：
文章的主题对象，我们对这个主题的看法。

我们也不曾想过从一个读者的角度来考虑我们的thesis是否强有力。
始终将自己固定在writer的角度反而禁锢了我们的思维。
以读者的身份看自己thesis，寻找其中的implications，我们写的主题是？用来论证的依据或信息是？论证的顺序是？
这样的角度换位思考，或许更客观吧。

我们更不曾想过ARGUE的THESIS STATEMENT应该是一个debatable claim.
如果我们表达的是一个众所周知或者公认的事实，那么我们写这个文章有什么意义呢？

关于模板。
我个人不大喜欢模板。
觉得就如同爱美的女士为了保持身材，却又不愿意通过运动等更恰当的方式，直接穿塑身衣。
最后又憋得难受，如同束缚一般。
当然，每个人的想法选择都不同。


突然觉得，要将这些小细节紧紧的留下来，或许与前面有的会重复。
就当是重复记忆加深印象吧。
免得以后又遗忘了。

上午，小爪子没有做任何作业。

在论坛里浪迹，看一些帖子，看一些前辈们留下的精华。

小爪子现在心里百感交集。

唯一可以肯定的是，这不是气馁，也不是绝望。

而是一种突然的沉静。

小爪子要静静的坐下来，再仔细的想想AW这个东西。

取其精华去其糟粕。

让小爪子稍微沉淀一下下，理清一下思绪。

或许一个人在学习的过程中，就是不断认知自我的过程。

所谓的学习，是需要用心去思考的，是要身体力行的。

看看写写似乎只能取其表意，浮在空中，而不知其中之精华与内涵。

小爪子现在思绪有点乱乱的，想到什么就说什么吧。

大学前面两年，英语是荒废的。现在迷途知返，奋起直追吧。

以前觉得上了新东方，挺好，老师教的弄懂就好。考试就按着他们说的来吧。

可不知什么时候开始觉得，我们这样的想法，大大的禁锢了自己。

惰性。是要克服的一个极大的问题。

小爪子要学会自己去思考，而不是单纯的看看资料，背背单词，随便写写就了事了。

上帝只给那些做好准备的人机会。

或许，有的人RP爆发，即使是“裸奔”也不同凡响。

可是这样的情况又会有多少呢？

小爪子，要当一休哥。

用心去思考，用心去看到每一位前辈留下的精华。

不是所谓的崇拜，也不是膜拜。

只需要用心的去体会，前辈们是怎么得出这样的经验的呢？

在他们备考的过程中，他们是怎么样的思考呢？

前辈们给出的方法，是为我们这些迷途的人们提供一个指引。

我们看前辈的经验，如果仅仅只是按照他们的方法思想来写文，怕是违背了前辈们的初衷吧？

什么是INDEX？只是为我们指明一个方向罢了。

真正的路要怎么走，到底选择哪一条，最终是要经过我们自己的思考了。

当每个人都大摇大摆的拿着前辈们的思想结晶，稍加修饰放在自己的文章时，前辈的精华同模板又有何差别呢？

大家都忙着download，忙着copy，忙着print，但是有多少人是真正意义上的静下心来想了呢？

或许前辈的精华是很牛的，但是就我们自己的具体状况而言，这样的方法是否适合我们呢？

我们是不是应该仔细想想，怎么做，才可以将他人之所长经过自己的提炼与斟酌，化为己之所长呢？

要尊重前人的劳动成果，这并不意味着我们应当将他们的思想当成信仰般唯命是从。

要细心的咀嚼手中有的信息，仔细的想想为何前辈们会这样认为呢？

如果使我们自己，我们会怎么做呢？？？


有些类似于胡言乱语。
但依旧留下。
作为小爪子成长的纪念。
