备考第一阶段Issue写作总结
6月25日
1 关键词定义与立场选择

2 各类题目的写作结构安排
2.1 分类论述
Issue51: (1) individually; (2) socially
Issue7: (1) recording history; (2) future references
Issue121: (1) responsibilities; (2) necessities
Issue144: (1) artistic works; (2) the evolvement of art
Issue136: (1) facts; (2) thoughts; (3) activities
Issue41: (1) exploration; (2) communication
2.2 理论论述
Issue17: (1) laws are contracts that cannot be disobeyed; (2) unjust laws conflicting with contemporary social conditions cannot be conducted
Issue207: (1) self sense will diminish without rituals and ceremonies; (2) how do rituals and ceremonies reminds people of who they are
Issue185: (1) generally speaking; (2) under certain conditions
2.3 举例论述:
Issue212: (1) sending children to university; (2) developing satellites; (3) solving economic problems
Issue31: (1) studies without detailed background observation; (2) studies without appropriate conductors; (3) studies without careful plans
总体来说,第一类文章的写作比较简单,只要按照已经详细定义过的关键词,按部就班的进行论述就可以了,段落之间属于并列关系,只需在各个小节里使用简单的理论推导和举例说明,疑问排比的运用(Issue51)会起到非常好的效果;第二类文章相对比较难,通常需要很严密的理论推导来展现段落间的递进、因果(Issue207)或者转折(Issue185)关系,甚至需要清楚地解释一些佯谬(Issue17)(至于为什么会想到使用“佯谬”这个词,因为我是学物理的,本科一年级时接触到的最有意思的理论就莫过于相对论中的“隧道佯谬”了,那种看似相悖其实相辅相成的理论,实在太有趣了……诶……其实这句话属于废话),一般来说,使用一些简单的例子来进行类比会有很好的效果,如在Issue17中使用Shakespeare威尼斯商人进行类比,在Issue185中使用毒品进行类比,能使艰涩的推理变得通俗易懂;第三类文章相对来说也比较简单,段落间也属于平行关系,但难点在于不容易写出深度,所以要在各个例子中进行有效的理论推导,并且在文字上多下功夫。
经过六个星期的Issue写作练习,自己深有体会,要写出好的文章,除了优秀逻辑与语言外,相关的专业知识也是必不可少的。这也是我体会到的G的作文与T的作文,或者Issue与Argument只见最大的差异。没有必要的相关知识,就不可能对关键词作出精确的定义,更加不可能找到合适的例子进行说明或者类比。尤其是对于我这样一个典型的理科生,对于人文社科方面的了解可以说是少之又少,无论是语言学、文化学、社会学、人类学、民俗学、经济学、政治学、艺术学,还是行为学的领域,写起来都不避免的相当头痛。作为理科生,如果想要大幅度的提高自己的论述深度,与其抱着G的范文和提纲,不如涉及一下自己从来没有认真接触过的人文社科领域,一本《人文社科引论》可以给一般人提供很大的帮助。当然,论述的深度是要以逻辑能力和语言能力为基础的,在这一方面老外范文是很好的选择。
现阶段写作最大的问题是速度,也是今后要着重提高的方面。
