昨天写完后感觉好多了~有种找到了家的感觉~
一直悬着无处安放的心也终于有了着落点~
昨天晚上跟父母谈了很久很久~
他们说~不管结果如何~只要我坚持下来了就是胜利！
好吧~我一定会坚持到最后的~但这并不是我的目标~
今天开始这个贴就化身为我的大水贴了~哈哈~
还有13天~我们一起努力吧~Keep fighting！


2010.2.11

已经快一个月了~从19号学校最后一门考完以后，天天除了issue就是argu~
我放弃了一切原先自己乱七八糟的兴趣~
不玩游戏了~不看电影了~一直紧跟着的big bang theory也不知道落了多少集了~
我都不知道自己到底还能不能被称作是一个人了~感觉比高考的时候还要苦还要累~
早上睁眼第一件事儿就是拽过来题库看提纲~晚上临睡前还得先背俩单词才能睡得安稳~
可能是因为孤立无援吧~可能是因为不见长进吧~可能是因为自己懦弱吧~
一向还自认乐观开朗的我今天还是崩溃了~
在不知道模考了几次之后~今天还是错误满天飞~还是思维极度混乱~词汇极度匮乏的时候~
刚才对着热乎乎刚出炉的红线蓝线满篇飞的模考~想了好久好久~
我要放弃么？答案是肯定的NO~
我要继续么？答案是肯定的YES~
可是我真的不知道自己现在应该做什么~还能做些什么了~
其实坦白的讲~我是因为害怕~害怕工作后的复杂~害怕考研的黑暗~才决定出国的~
之前真的没有想到原来这条路这么漫长~这么艰辛~
不过既然选择了~我是不会放弃的~不管多难~即使失败了~起码不会后悔~
我也不后悔我缓考到26号~虽然我估计那时候我也进步不了多少了~虽然我知道整个春节都过不好了~
但是我还是要搏一搏~我不想等到若干年后回过头来看现在的自己~遗憾的说~如果当时我要是再努力一点就好了~
哈哈~发泄出来感觉还是挺舒服的~不管怎样~还是要继续奋斗啊~
哪怕只有一丝丝的希望~也是不能放弃的！
发上来我今儿模考的吧~也算是一种自我肯定了~
谨以此文献给所有跟我一样要将整个假期献给GRE的gter~春节快乐！

TOPIC: ISSUE170 - "The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people."

提纲：
论点：个人成就可以部分反映国力的富强，但是根本还是看人们的安康
主一：统治者，艺术家和科学家对国家很重要
主二：但是国家的根本还是人民的幸福
主三：统治者，艺术家和科学家也都是为了人民的幸福
What is the surest indicator of a great nation? Yet the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists could partly reflect the strength of that nation, but the essential demonstration to represent the surest condition of a nation is not famous few but the general welfare of all its people.

Fundamentally, we cannot overlook the important role of rulers, artists and scientists. Without effective rulers and public officials’ governance to keep our society well-order and stabilization, the security of a nation even cannot maintain, not to mention the general welfare of all its citizenry. Without great artists create beautiful and meaningful art works to foster people's ethic and internal value, the nation may bog down the shortage of innate and inherent essence. Without intelligent scientists to invent advanced technology, the nation's development would be impeded by the lack of developed technique. Therefore, all the rulers, artists and scientists are pivotal and even indispensable to a great nation. They are the sufficient conditions to maintain the nation well-being, give it affluent spirits and advanced technologies.

However, the true representation of a great nation is not the significant achievements by few people, but the social welfare and the well-being of its citizenry. For instance, if a nation actually has many dramatic breakthroughs in academic area, such as science or arts, but unfortunately, the government blindly invest almost whole government revenue to research but ignore the feelings of its citizen. However, the nation cannot be considered a great and successful nation, no matter how huge and vast the academic achievements it create. Moreover, if the nation still omit the citizenry and maintain brute force, public may fight for their human equality and basic freedom eventually. Thus, the existence of the nation is even uncharted, let alone judge whether it great or not. Even though with the time passed, that nation pass into history, contemporary would also conclude that this demised nation is wholly aborted. Yet this assumption seems cynical and extreme, the perdition of Shang Dynasty in China has in fact proven the undoing of a nation due to ignoring the welfare of its citizenry, thus, this view is realistic.

Moreover, the purpose of rulers, artists and scientists' work is to bring a better life to people. Such as the destination of our government is to protect national security and keeping social stability; the original idea of the artists' work is from the true feeling of their daily life; the objective of the scientists' research is to give people more convenient, comfortable and effective life. Without this clear destination, their works may lose meaning. Moreover, the rulers, artists and scientists all live in the society where all people lived. If most of people cannot satisfy with their current life and even hardly to bolster their family, how can those so-called superior people work well in such circumstance? Obviously they hardly could.

In conclusion, I agree with the speaker insofar that the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists could partly represent a nation's giant and power. However, the surest indicator of a great nation is the general welfare of all its people. Moreover, all the works no matter who do are due to maintain the social welfare. Therefore, the surest indicator of a great nation is the whole people's happiness.


TOPIC: ARGUMENT241 - The following appeared in a memo at the XYZ company.

"When XYZ lays off employees, it pays Delany Personnel Firm to offer those employees assistance in creating resumés and developing interviewing skills, if they so desire. Laid-off employees have benefited greatly from Delany's services: last year those who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than did those who did not. Recently, it has been proposed that we use the less-expensive Walsh Personnel Firm in place of Delany. This would be a mistake because eight years ago, when XYZ was using Walsh, only half of the workers we laid off at that time found jobs within a year. Moreover, Delany is clearly superior, as evidenced by its bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. After all, last year Delany's clients took an average of six months to find jobs, whereas Walsh's clients took nine."

提纲：
主一：XYZ用D的员工比不用的找工作快不能说明D好
主二：错误类比:经济、人员素质、找到的公司规模
主三：人多部门多不代表公司好
This memo concludes that XYZ company should keep using Delany Personnel Firm to offer their employees assistance in creating resumes and developing interviewing skills but not Walsh Personnel Firm which they used it eight years ago. To support this recommendation, the author cites that their employees who used Delany found jobs quickly than those who not, also it has bigger staff and larger number of branch offices. Moreover, the author supports that when they used Walshy, there is only half of the workers found jobs within a year and Walsh's clients took nine months to find jobs, whereas Delany's clients only took six. However, this argument suffers a series of logical problems and critical flaws, and is therefore wholly unpersuasive.

Fundamentally, their current personal firm--Delany whether good or bad is uncharted, if we merely based on the author's evidence that their employees who used Delany found jobs much more quickly than those who did not. Common sense informs me that the destination of personnel firm is to promote laid-off employees' employment. If it improved, it is reasonable, but cannot demonstrate that the firm is superior. However, if it does not improve, it surely indicates that the firm is poor. Thus, if the author desires to prove the great quality of Delany, it needs to support other more cogent evidence to demonstrate it is really good.

Moreover, the comparison between Delany and Walsh is also unwarranted. We should notice that XYZ company was using Walsh before eight years. That is a quite long period that so many conditions may be changed during eight years, for instance, the economy and the employment market. If there exactly had financial crisis at eight years ago so that many employees were laid off. Thus, Walsh helped their employees to find jobs within a year could actually demonstrate its strong quality but not poor skill. Moreover, the employees’ competency and the scale of employed company are all different, so that the comparison between them is wholly unreasonable.

Finally, the author's evidence that Delany has bigger stall and larger number of branch offices cannot clearly concludes it superior. More staff and branch offices could only demonstrate that its scale is really large. However, the skill of their staff and the management of their firm are also uncharted. Furthermore, the consumers of the two firms are unclear. That is to say, perhaps the Delany's clients are indeed better than Walsh's and easier to find job even without personnel firm.

In conclusion, this argument cannot be taken serious as it stands. To better evaluate it, the arguer needs to support more details and cogent evidences to demonstrate the superior of Delany and the inferior of Walsh. Moreover, even if Walsh is poor, there still exist some other firms. So, the author also has to eliminate other possible choices to indicate that Delany is the most superior and their best choice.
