为了相应斑斑们挑战0706G的号召,为GRE作文版做点贡献,现开一帖和大家讨论一下I写作中论据的重要性。希望大家能积极跟帖,把平时遇到的好的论据贴出来。
I高分的关键:论据
如何写议论文相信大家中学作文都学的很清楚了,语文老师整天念叨着议论文的三要素:论点,论据,论证,一个都不能少。这一点在写AW时也不例外。
论点:也就是Thesis和Topic sentence,明确的论点是高分的关键。在准备初期可以多看看前辈总结的提纲,明确各种类型题目的写法,相信在准备后期如何破题展开论点的问题是很好解决的。
论证:AW考的就是logical的写作能力,所以选择什么样的论证方法也很重要,论证方法是连接论点和论据的纽带。论证过程连接的好,主题鲜明,论据也能很好的支持论点;反之论据混乱,不知所云。不过论证过程的套路性很强,相信练过10篇I以后大家也能够总结出一套自己的论证思路。
论据:AW的难点,I的题库中包括的大的分类就有十几种之多,想要每道题目都言之有物,不靠平时的积累是绝对不行的。我在准备作文之初花了快一个月的时间来整理论据,查前辈的总结,查Encyclopedia,找大段的例子,非常花费时间。开始我还觉得能写出大段例子的文章是好文章,能体现出写作水平,其实错了。事实证明,高分作文是论点和论据match的文章,是论点能概括论据,论据能支持论点,论证过程严密,衔接自然的文章。因此对待论据,一方面一定要重视积累,另一方面也不能走另一个极端整段整段的引述。
如果问大家I高分的关键是什么,论点?论据?论证?可能各种答案都有,不过我觉得,I高分的关键一定是论据。原因有二:
1.在新东方八股泛滥的中国AW文坛,ETS考官早已经恶心了新东方的那些提纲套路和老掉牙的例子,唯一能够体现文章unique的地方就在论据的引用。其实ETS也是有苦难言,对于AW这种命题作文,为了尽可能防止雷同作弊,肯定会在审论据上下功夫(这一点A也一样,新东方的模版在A中更是泛滥)。没听说过哪篇文章是用的雷同的论点和论证过程而判雷同的。那些被判雷同作弊的大多是背了好段子直接就默写上去了。
2.也许有人可能会觉得论点最重要,因为新东方总强调开门见山,立场明确。不过大家可以仔细思考一下自己拿到题目时的思维过程,一篇最终选择什么立场靠的是什么?靠的是你已知的论据!能举出什么样的例子支持你的论点。

===============================================================================
教育类: =======================
科技类: ======================= Key Words:Watson and Crick describe structure of DNA
Details:8#
社会类: ======================= Key Words:Media, Newspaper Application:媒体的舆论作用 "I like reporters, even if I haven't always liked what some wrote about me. I figure that's a pretty minor price to pay for a free press in a free society."
— Gerald R. Ford, 38th U.S. president, 2005
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
— Thomas Jefferson, letter to Col. Edward Carrington, Jan. 16, 1787
历史类:

艺术类:
======================= Key Words: Antoni Gaudi, Templo de la Sagarda Familia Application: 艺术家能否被同时代承认,是否应该保留古建筑 A good case in point is Antoni Gaudi who was appointed official architect of the momentous “Templo de la Sagarda Familia” in 1883, which, although still unfinished at his death, is acknowledged as his masterpiece. Its lofty semi-cubist towers, with mosaic-covered finials, dominate the Barcelona skyline, and its imaginative forms, colors, and textures are unmatched in European architecture.
Key Words:Sydney Opera :
Application: 除了ISSUE26外,还可以用在论证当务之急与百年大计, 艺术给社会的作用等上面. 类似的还是位于西班牙毕尔巴鄂Bilbao的Guggenheim Museum, 由美国设计师Frank Gehry设计. 这座博物馆依靠夸张的外形为Bilbao带来了众多的游客和巨大的商业效益
The Sydney Opera was designed as a totally new building, showing appearance like a beautiful shell or sail boat on the sea store. The Danish architect used his creative way to give Sydney, a city with no historical accumulation, a chance to show the world of its symbol. But the construction of Sydney Opera was a struggling progress. Designed with a unreasonable structure, the opera cost as 10 times money as what the Austrilian government predicted and caused several ministry step down for this heavy project. This opera was considered as a failure during its constructure and few anticipated its reputation boomed after accomplishment. Sometimes historical buildings can be built now, and become history in future. But even the strongest holder of this theory, the Dutch architect, Rem Koolhaas admits that buildings like Sydney Opera are so rare, which locate in a place with no history and ask for landmark.
政治类: ========================
环境类: ========================
Key Words:Ayers Rock Application: 自然环境保护 Uluru, also called Ayers Rock, is one of the largest monoliths, or rock masses, in the world, located in the central arid Australia. Although Uluru National Park is a little isolated from the outside world, which means that visitors have to transit three times from Sydney or Melbourne before the plane arrived near the National Park, thousands of people overcome this obstacle to visit the Uluru to enjoy its beauty.
Key Words:Pollution Application:环境污染的引述 There are few places in the world today that have not been spoiled by the industrialized development and pollution. The air we breathe is more often than not polluted by the smoke from the factory chimneys or the exhausted fumes from the motor vehicles, while chemical waste poisons our rivers, lakes and seas. By covering more and more surface of the world with numerous skyscrapers and highways, we are erecting concrete barriers between ourselves and nature.
Key Words:Rainforest
Application:自然资源的保护
Rainforest, woodland characterized by lush vegetation and comparatively high temperature and rainfall throughout the year. Rain forests are the world’s most biologically diverse ecosystems. Although they account for less than 7 percent of the land surface on Earth, they contain more than 50 percent—some scientists estimate as high as 90 percent—of its plant and animal species.
Rain forests also play a critical role in global climate regulation by absorbing carbon dioxide, a gas believed to be partially responsible for global warming. Plants naturally absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen gas in the process of photosynthesis, and tropical rain forests absorb more carbon dioxide than any other terrestrial ecosystem on earth. There is general agreement among the scientific community that by absorbing some of the gas, rain forests play a vital role in lessening its impacts.
其他类: ======================== Key Words:Profession Vs Laymen Application:专家新手对比,专家的优势
When people feel sick, they would see the doctor for diagnosis and follow their arrangement on having pills and treatment; when people have a lawsuit, they would turn to their lawyer for help, since they are good at defending; when people want to buy a house, they would rather pay money for a full time real-estate agent and listen the suggestion, for they comprehend the market well; when people intend to keep healthy, they will accept the advices of nutritionists having a healthy diet and frequently taking part in sports.

Invited by Russia to treat its declined economy in 1990s, Jeffrey Sachs used his "Shock Therapy" to deal with this former socialism country's national industry and commerce. This therapy gained success before Sachs came to Russia, in Bolivia, helping this country get through its dilemma. The "Shock Therapy" uses a drastic way to stop the planned economy of a socialism country and cover from this shock with a new base. However, failing to effectively analyze the difference between Bolivia and Russia, the latter of which inherited the huge ecomonical system from Suviet Union and totally diversified from the former's, Sachs this time gave Russia only "shock" but no "therapy". The academia has believed that it is the Sachs wrong treatment that caused Russia's depression during the following years. Despite of admitted contribution that "Schock Therapy" did to the reform of Russian ecomony, it was mostly a lesson telling us about the [possibility of experience telling lies/importance of analyzing a different environment/possibility of authority's fault
