又见追星剑特训
Chapter1.1 Terminology 关键字眼
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=200638

实际上，对考查逻辑的分析性写作考试而言，识别题目的关键字至少有两点基本作用：其一，阐明和确立所进行讨论的前提，不仅是为了在文章中明确体现自己的认识，更同时是给自己明确自己的认识——免得因为对关键词的认识从一开始就模糊摇摆然后写到后半背叛前半；其二，明确了关键字，也就抓住题目的核心问题和关系所在，从关键字入手进行思考，自然是打开思路源泉的首选。

Chapter1.2 More 比较级
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201072
下面这个例子确实很容易犯

当初在分析跑题文章的时候拿过一篇issue73做例子：题目说imagination is more important than knowledge，文章给了个回应叫做both are important云云，对题目进行了彻底的藐视。再往下看，人家的b1写imagination的重要性，b2写knowledge的重要性，b3写only the interaction will do us good云云——整个一篇下来，连一点儿补救的机会都没有。完全跑题。——人家要的就是做这个比较，对more的response在哪里？？？从thesis到body，等效于只字未提。

中英文的区别

如果说“both of them are important”，这里面挖地三尺从北京挖到阿根廷也找不出来“they are of the same importance”的含义来。前者是对彼此的独立定性，后者才涉及比较。如果按照中文的“两个都好”来写“both are good”，中文的潜台词可才没带过去。这也是一个超典型的语言背景背叛思维的例子。

不论是中庸的balance观点还是一边倒观点，他们的重点都是要contrast，这才是关键
Chapter1.3 1+1 得寸进尺
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201436

所谓1+1与得寸进尺者，指的就是具有类似结构的题目：可以分为前后两半部分，并且可以看出作者认为两部分间有一定程度的递进关系（例如因果）。

所以说，这类题目实际上相当的好写。实际上我认为这类题目除了前后均同意原题的时候可能展开还略费心神之外，只要前后出现一处反对或者拆分关键字，那就根本不愁展开了，明确论点例证（或理证）支持一篇文章很轻松就能出来。今天特地把1+1这类题目挑出来说，不仅是为这个类型的题目做一个概括性的分析，同时也是借机体现一下破题和构思中的发散思维与brainstorm.

对这个问题有点点疑问，如imong举的那个例子issue52，他的前一个问题是Education encourages students to question and criticize，这个不就是事实么，难道还可以反驳啊，还可以按照这样的思路写啊：？？？？？

首先作者提出Education encourages students to question and criticize这一事实性命题（注意这里不是倾向性命题，关于事实性命题和倾向性命题的关系下次专门谈），那么作为回应，必须确立自己的观点：到底我自己认为，Education是不是encourage students to question and criticize的？根据不同人的不同背景经历，立刻能够得到丰富的答案：例如，在中学或者大学度过了美好时光在专业学术上正在大展才华，因而对本校的教育很满意的人，可能就立刻回应“同意作者论点”并以自身为例；而曾饱受应试教育摧残高中摧残到考大学大学摧残到考硕士研究生外加自己颇有些愤青思想的人，可能就要趁机大骂作者胡说了；甚至更进一步的，如果有人把眼光放远些之后，例如同时考虑到各个国家之间差别及其影响时，可能就正好用上Chapter1.1里面提到过的Terminology的方法，把Education这个concept给细细梳理先——来个不同国家Education不一样，然后再确立详细的论点——不同Education做法不一样。当然还有更多的可能的态度，在此不一一列举。

困惑ing
Chapter1.4 Is vs should 事实与倾向
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201853
ISSUE52原题及其变形

issue52. "Education encourages students to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony."

和下面这个“变形的版本”：
Education should not encourage students to question and criticize so as to better promote social harmony.

前者作为事实性命题陈述的是现象，状态，而并不涉及从情感、价值等方面做出的选择和判断。也就是说：issue52提出来的是Education到底是个什么状态，题目所关心的是“Education是什么样子”。而至于Education应该怎样，则全然不是issue52所关心的。后面的倾向性命题则恰好反过来，Education现在可以是encourage，也可以不是encourage，都不是该命题关心的——最多也只能作为背景陈述。倾向性命题所关心的，恰恰是“Education应该如何做”，不管和“事实”“状态”一致还是迥异。

对啊 ，这里说了最多也只是背景的陈述，那干嘛还陈述一些和题目不符的情况出来，真是o(╯□╰)o

( ⊙o⊙ )哇，这个例子按照我的思维好容易按照imong说的那样跑题：

issue184. "It is a grave mistake to theorize before one has data."
正确的response应当对it is a grave mistake做出回应，确立到底是不是grave mistake. 而文章写成这样就完了，thesis： People should not theorize without data. Why? 论据就是“Because it is a grave mistake to theorize before one has data”——这不是Beg the question是什么？！原题就是要你去证明到底是不是grave mistake，这下倒好，直接拿去当论据了，标准跑题。

iostream说得很到位

我觉得is实际就相当于结论型，should相当于问题解决型。结论型的思路是分析题目观点成立的基础（原因），再提出自己的position，而问题解决型的思路是分析题目的解决方法，并提出自己的方法。

咕~~(╯﹏╰)b看了后面的讨论，好像有点争议，不过我觉得imong写这个帖子的目的主要是针对那种很容易写跑题思路，当然不排除还是可以分情况讨论的写法，就要看你怎么写了，其实感觉如下的分析应该和imong是一个意思吧，只是说法不同而已

“it is a mistake”并不是我的假定，而是你的判断：你写作文时必须，必须首先判断“theorizing before one has data”是否错误，正确或不一定，然后再根据你的观点进行论证。
其次，
“it is a mistake”确实可以这样分情况论证；
但是，“we should not.....”也可以这样论证的。
论点：这并不一定是错误（不一定所有情况都不应该）（conditionally，有时是有时不时）
1 有时是错误（所以，我们不应该...）。例子......
2 有时不是错误（所以，我们应该...）。例子...
再次，
“It is a grave mistake to theorize before one has data”是一个判断句，其实可以改写为“If you theorize before one has data, you will make a grave mistake ”，所以它本身是个假设句，而不是事实句“You make a grave mistake of theorizing before one has data”。

Chapter1.5 Not but 选择题
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=202380
其实有点点灭有看明白imong到底是什么意思，自己总结了一下

和1+1题目的前后层次不同，not but题目给出的是两个处在平行位置关系的端点概念，同时几乎没有任何背景叙述。以issue5为例，题目并未给出作者认为应当使用same national curriculum的原因，而只是单纯的给出这一论断，同时还把这一论断的对立面给连带着提了出来，这就使得这一论断严重急需支持：谁看到这里都免不了问上一句：为什么？

此时这二者必定就是题目的关键字，按照imong的意思，应该是要偏重一方的写，当让最后也可以“补遗”这是我们逻辑思维比较全面的表现。另外一个重点就是我们做出选择的价值标准，价值标准不同，所作出的选择就不同，但是只要自圆其说就好了。

Chapter1.6 Conditioning 拆分
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=203298
其实就是分领域写作

Conditioning其实就是这样：如果说写balance写两者都必须两者都不可少比较绕的话，conditioning无疑写起来又方便又舒服。一定条件下A成立，一定条件下A不成立，前面这个分支一搭好了，务必把这个“一定条件”是“什么条件”给说清楚了，后面就只管往里填就是。找到“拆”的入手点，一下子展开到多个方面的考虑，在保证论证的基础上文章会相当的完整和充实的。个人的体会是，在看问题还不够深入的时候可能更倾向于一边倒，而当体会得更深刻，能够把握住问题背后的矛盾所在的时候，这个时候就可能更倾向写conditioning了。

至于后面跟帖的关于body和结尾的写法，等以后真正练习了，再仔细研究
Chapter1.7 Supreme 练习
https://bbs.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=203950
issue108. "In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings --- trials, debates, meetings, etc --- that are televised, the more society will benefit."


issue110. "When we concern ourselves with the study of history, we become storytellers. Because we can never know the past directly but must construct it by interpreting evidence, exploring history is more of a creative enterprise than it is an objective pursuit. All historians are storytellers."


issue114. "Humanity has made little real progress over the past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but the overall condition of humanity is no better. War, violence, and poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition of humanity."


issue199. "Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals. When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone."

good sentences:
1.so scientists incline to the view that it is man-made. I love this word "incline"
2.Biofuel engines for aircraft still need some work before they are suitable for long-haul flights, but should be available soon.
3.Nor is it a question of economics
4.Not only is the latest round of negotiations mired in difficulty, but the World Trade Organisation’s task is child’s play compared with climate change.
5.The aspirations are high, but so are the hurdles.


sentences which i can't understand:
1. It could be chance. Here chance means 偶然
2. The closest parallel is the world trading system. what's the meaning of "closest parallel"?
3. To suggest that much has gone wrong is not to denigrate the efforts of the many people who have dedicated two decades to this problem.  Although I can understand the meaning of this sentence, but I really can't make certain the stucture of this sentence.

My comments:
     Obviouslly, this issue talks something about the climate chang problem. Acording to the total structure of this issue, there are three parts. At the begining of the this article, the writter use the mountain bark beetle to lead out the climate problem. I think this is one of the bright spots in this essay. Secondly, the writer talk somthing about the sea-ice with statistic data to describ the effects of the warmor climate.Finnally, use a phrase "A hard sell" , the writter pointed out the difficulty to deal with the climate change, such as politcs, economics.

PS:the forgoing analysis is my sum-up about the issue. I know it's quite simple. Actually I want to write it longer. But I find that my reading habit is very bad. When I read a article (even in Chinese), I always can only got its roughly meaning. But I almost can't  repeat it with detail. I think this problem is quit urgent and serious for me, and I hope someone can give me some advice. What's more some of my classmates told me that when reading a English text, you should think it in English, that means you translate English words into English. But still now, I havn't got this method. so sad~~~~~~~~


what's more, as to the good sentences, I find that I don't know what kind of sentence is a good sentence. Maybe I should look over other gters' choice, and then borrow some ideas.

something new for me or sentences I can't understand:
1.THE longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst
2.The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
3. But the proportion of all luxury spending that went on art increased as investors looked for assets that would hold their value in the longer term.
4.Straddling all areas of the art market is a handful of individuals who have emerged as the key figures in the art world in recent years like this word
5.lion’s share:the largest portion
6.quoted company 上市公司
7.commission-fixing委员操纵
8.put the wind up 使。。惊慌


my comments:
As a student of engineering, art seems quite unfamiliar for me. This report just give me some common sense about art market. So it's so good.

Firstly, the first sentence tell us the main idea of this report. That is: The art market has suffered from the recession, but globalisation should help it recover. On the one hand, art-market had already been losing the momentum for a while  after rising vertigously since 2003. Some experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peek on average. But the chief excutive of one of the biggest action houses said that it's the worst condition. He think the reason of the slump is not the economy but the work itself. There is not enough good work can be sell. And there are more rich people want to invest art. There is one sentence point out that: the proportion of all luxury spending that went on art as investor looked for assets that would hold their value in a long term. However, few older works can be got because both the collectors and museums hold on what they have, so recently the art market is mostly about the contemporary work.

Secondly, the writer tell us something about the art market, such as the master of art, how to sell a work. To the whole art market, the half is the public auction, another half is the private business. The biggest two auction houses are Sotheby’s and  Christie’s .They devide the worldwide art market. Suffering from the recession, the take simillar measures to resist it.

Acording to art, I think it is quit uncetainly. It's only when people has enough money, sufficient social position, they can possess the luxury things.

good sentences:
1.On October 1st China offered a stunning display of the hard edge of its rising power as it paraded its fast-growing military arsenal through Beijing.
2. American Treasury securities 美国国库证券
3.It sees America’s plight as a cue to push for the lifting of such barriers and for Chinese companies to look actively for buying opportunities among America’s high-technology industries.
4.China’s military build-up in the past decade has been as spectacular as its economic growth, catalysed by the ever problematic issue of Taiwan, the biggest thorn in the Sino-American relationship.


MY COMMENTS:
This report is mainly about the relationship between China and America. I infer that the writter must be a American. Many stanpionts shows that. America set most of the high technology as embargo to China, but the reason is that China buy such high technology is only for military. And also there is another problem, that is TAIWAI.

But the main idea of the report is that although China is the biggest lender to Aerica, America should not  be afraid China, and yuan will not be a reserved currency soon. For one thing, the level of high technology in China is  incomparable to Americas. For another, although China is a socialism country, its economy is quite capitalism, and America and China have common interest, which to make them friends.

what's more the last paragraph listed some big problem of China, to some extent, it's true although overly. I don't how would our leaders feel when read this report. But I think they should calm down and think about these probelms when go with the fast speed of growing up.

This special report will argue that the next few years could be troubled ones for the bilateral relationship. China, far more than an economically challenged America, is roiled by social tensions. Protests are on the rise, corruption is rampant, crime is surging. The leadership is fearful of its own citizens. Mr Obama is dealing with a China that is at risk of overestimating its strength relative to America’s. Its frailties—social, political and economic—could eventually imperil both its own stability and its dealings with the outside world.

something new for me
laid-back :休闲   lay off staff 裁员  rigid board：刚性板  Output per worker ：人均产出  ceiling ：最大限额  overspeculation：过度投机 stimulus package：经济刺激计划
1. Yet students of economic turmoil will find their subject matter conveniently close to hand 是不是说他比较好处理，所以close to hand?
2.It will pay its workers a day late at the end of the fiscal year so that the expense will show up in next year’s budget.这句话什么意思啊，尤其是那个a day late

good sentences：
1.The crisis invited a forceful government entry into several of capitalism’s inner sanctums, such as banking, American carmaking and the commercial-paper market.
2.As the workforce grows, capital accumulates and technology advances, this limit expands over time.
3.In a recession firms shed labour and mothball capital. If workers are left on the shelf too long, their skills will atrophy and their ties to the world of work will weaken.
4.Only when you hit bottom can you stop and contemplate the cliff you must now climb
5.I fancy that over-confidence seldom does any great harm except when, as, and if, it beguiles its victims into debt其实还是有点没有懂

描述目前经济现状的话:
This special report will argue that although a “new normal” for the world economy is now in sight, it will be different from the old normal in a number of ways. Demand in rich countries will remain weak and emerging economies will not be able to compensate. The report will explain why many governments will have to keep their stimulus packages going for longer than expected, or face entrenched unemployment that will permanently lower their economic potential. Public debt will rise so that private debt can fall. The banks, the report will show, will remain cautious about lending again, which will slow up the recovery but also make companies more careful about their investment; and the securitisation markets that became so fashionable during the boom will recede, though not disappear altogether.
my comments:
In this report, the writter analysis the situation of world economy. As usual, the first paragraph piont out the main idea of the report.(We can use this method in our AW) And the economy of newport beach, California is as an example. At the same time, the author mentioned a new phrase to describe the spectacle of the recovering economy.  Milton Friedman, a optimist, I think, believe that, the more forcefully the string is plucked, the more sharply it snaps back. However, the writer don't think so, and neither do I. Maybe, under certain circumstance, the string theory would be true, but if the recession lasts too long, the state of workers will not recovery.

But fortunately, the economy is recovering, Although it will not be same as before. Especially it's a good news for us graduated students. I wish everyone will find a ideal job.

good sentence:
1. The hope is that tens of million of Americans currently without coverage will now be able to get it, and many tens of millions more, who have insurance but fear losing it through redundancy or ill-health, will have those worries lifted from their shoulders.
2.Republicans, however, hate the bill, mostly on the ground of cost
3.Past history provides them with evidence to back up that claim.
4.As of today though, health-care reform, expensive and imperfect though it is, is looking a lot more likely.

my comments:
This report is so difficult for, beacause of the lack of background knowledge.However after rodgood  gave me some directions, I got it quickly. Thanks him again. This report is mainly about the health-insurance reform. Although Democrats succeeded in the  vote, but there are many problems. Just as the democrats say the vitory has come up at a high price.As for health-insurance reform, I want to talk something about it in my country. At present, the rate of the development in country is quite astonishing, and our life is better and better on the surface. But the social welfare is quit unsatisfactory. Even though we don't talk about the unemployment, because this problem is worldwide. Here we only talk about the health care and social security. As an ordinary people, we all pray that there is nothing wrong with our body, and keep health is our greatest wish. That is not that we are undue, but that if there is one person in a family  sick, the whole family is destroyed. Because we really can't afford the expensive costs. That is normal in our country many years. And I hope there are some health-insurance reform in our country, and it must be all the Chinese people's  desirableness.

How good this articule is. If only I could write such kind of work! I hope before Mar. 2009 I can do it.

Untill now I have  finished the proposer's opening remarks.Go on tomorrow, and give some comments together.

emteddybearUID：2699606

再读一遍
The proposer's opening remarks
Oct 20th 2009 |   Steven N. Kaplan

In the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, CEOs are routinely criticised for being overpaid. Critics argue that boards do not respond to market forces, but, instead, are dominated by or are over-generous to their CEOs. Boards are criticised for not tying CEOs' pay to performance. These criticisms have been exacerbated by the financial crisis and the desire to find scapegoats.
I argue below that the critics are wrong and that there are many misperceptions of CEO pay.While CEO pay practices are not perfect, they are driven by market forces and performance. Contrary to public perception, CEO pay has not gone up in recent years. In fact, the average CEO pay (adjusted forinflation) has dropped since 2000, while the pay of other groups has increased substantially. Similarly, the view that CEOs are not paid for performance is wrong. In fact, the opposite is true and boards increasingly fire them for poor performance. And, most recently,consistent with market forces driving pay, the US and UK government seach hired a new CEO (of AIG and the Royal Bank of Scotland) for pay exceeding that of the median large company CEO.(Last two paragraphs are just the begining of the Issue, tell us the main idea of this exposition: the CEO pay has not gone up in recent year, while the pay of other high-paid groups has increased substantially.)


It is useful to understand how CEO pay is measured.（thesis） It includes three components:salary, bonus and stock-based pay. It is usually measured in two ways.The first is the sum of salary, bonus, restricted stock and the expected value of stock options. I call this expected pay. Expected pay measures what boards believe they awarded the CEO. This is the best measure of what a CEO is paid each year. Note that the CEO does not actually walk away with this money. The second measure replaces expected stock option values with values actually realized and realised pay measures what CEOs walk away with.
The first graph shows average and median expected CEO pay for S&P 500 CEOs since 1994 (adjusted for inflation). It shows that median CEO pay has been stable since 2001; it has not increased. Andaverage pay has declined substantially. In fact, average CEO pay in 2008 is below the average in 1998.


While average CEO pay has declined, the pay of other highly paid groups has increased. The second graph shows S&P 500 CEO pay relative to the income of the top 1% of US taxpayers. Relative to those other groups,CEOs are no better off in 2008 than in 1994. Strikingly, relative CEO pay is a half of what it was in 2001, a huge decline.

To use graphs to support "the decline of the CEO pay"
Which are those groups that have earned increasingly high compensation?(this question sentence leads to the explain "other groups"Hedge fund, private equity and venture capital investors have increased their assets and fees substantially translating into high pay. By one estimate, the top three hedge fund managers earned more in 2007 than all 500 S&P 500 CEOs combined. Professional athletes, investment bankers, consultants and lawyers also have benefited greatly. For example, from 2004 to 2008, the inflation-adjusted pay of partners atthe top 20 law firms increased by 12% while that of S&P 500 CEOsdropped 12%. Those law firms had over 3,000 partners making an averageof $2.4m each.
One can look at the Obama administration for other examples. Larry Summers made $8m (more than the median S&P 500 CEO)giving speeches and working part-time for a hedge fund. Eric Holdermade $3.5m as a law partner.
So, while CEOs earn a lot, they are not unique. The pay of people in the other groups has undoubtedly been driven by market forces; all are compensated in arm's-length markets,not by cronies. Technology, globalisation and scale appear to have increased the market value of these groups. CEOs have not done better and, by some measures, have done worse. Those who argue CEOs are overpaid have to explain how CEOs can be overpaid and not subject to market forces, when the other groups are paid at least as well and aresubject to market forces.
Why is the pay of these other groups relevant for CEOs? Top executives regularly leave to work for private equity firms and hedge funds. Law partners and consultants leave to work for public companies as general counsels and executives. Relativepay matters and all these groups are paid according to market demand.Markets are the driving force for senior executives in all these industries and talented people jump across industries, based on market perceptions of their worth.

another sense group
Critics also argue that CEO pay is not tied to stock performance. Again, that is not true. Looking at what CEOs actually receive—realised pay—Josh Rauh and I found that firms with CEOs in the top decile of realised pay earned stock returns 90%above those of other firms in their industries over the previous five years. Firms with CEOs in the bottom decile of realised pay underperformed by almost 40%. The typical CEO is paid for performance.
This was reinforced in 2008, when average realised CEO pay declined by 25%(according to S&P's Execucomp). And Equilar, another provider of CEO pay data, estimated that the typical CEO experienced a net worth decline of over 40%.
The final myth to bust is that CEOs control their boards and earn high pay through this control and not performance. In fact, CEO tenure has declined, from ten years in the 1970s to six years today, and boards have got tougher on their executives when they do not perform.
In sum, market forces govern CEO compensation. CEOs are paid what they are worth. Talented individuals, who are perceived to be valuable, can move between industries to be compensated well. The clearest example of this is that even governments have to pay highly for talented executives. Recently,the Royal Bank of Scotland (under UK government control) hired a CEO with a package worth up to $16m; AIG (under US government control)hired a CEO with a package worth up to $10.5m. For these critical jobs,both of these executives received compensation exceeding the pay of the median S&P 500 CEO.

My comments: I think if this issue is the response of AW, it must be 6 scored. Firstly, the structure is just simple, and easyly understood. After giving the main idea, Mr Kaplan gives us the description of the CEO pay. This method is the so-called Terminology in 追星剑特训. And the speaker gives us two graphs to tell us why he proposes that the CEO pay has declined recent year. This is a good method, but we can't use it in our AW. After that, is the main comments, the language is so wonderfull that I want to recite it.
