GRE写作总觉得时间紧 ,练习从这几点做起

GRE Issue写作的考场实战中,广大考生的首要痛点之一就是感觉时间非常紧迫:

要么面对一道很尬聊的题无从下手,比如像面对第146原题“无聊虽然伴随着自我满足,但是它会导致尴尬”, 稍微有些思路的时候一晃眼七八分钟已经过去。

要么强迫症爆发,非要在记忆宫殿中挤出来一个高大上的事例,并且逐字逐句精雕细琢,结果时间一到,连半个屏幕都没有写满。

面对这个痛点,我作为一名在北京新东方美研精英计划中专注一对一GRE写作培训的老师,通过大量的课堂实时写作批改中总结出了5个简单粗暴的加速器。

我的原则是,实战至上,拒绝花拳绣腿,希望能够帮助大家剔除任何拖沓实战速度的累赘。

千万别跑题

提速之前,点题是3分上下的分水岭。 有些题目设计得很微妙狡猾,如果想当然地发挥没有缜密地钻透彻题目真正的用意,那么往往会导致如下现象:考完试自我感觉极为良好,但是分数一出来却很低。

比如第55原题:

The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.

这道题有的同学会讨论我们为什么和以前的人们不一样,因为科技在不断颠覆,为什么又一样,因为我们的基因没那么突变,所以我们的激素,欲望,动机还是和古人一样。

以上的思路足够能让考生自我感觉良好,但是实际上却跑题了,和题目真正想考察的点几乎不搭边儿。

注意,这里题目要讨论:学习历史的主要好处是否是让我们意识到我们和前人一样。我们应该深挖的是这个“好处”的原因。

如历史让我们知道了自己和前人有着一样的欲望。比如嗜血让我们收获的好处是,在瞬息万变的当下社会,我们可以抓住这些根本的欲望来透过问题的表象直击核心,比如古罗马人把奴隶送上角斗场上来满足他们的嗜血欲。

现今社会虽然看上去人性化了很多,但是要设计一个爆款游戏,我们还是要着手于如何满足这个没怎么变的嗜血欲, 于是便诞生了射击游戏“吃鸡”。

3个不纠结

第一,不能纠结辞藻的华丽,因为官方OG对于词汇的要求只有“effective”。

这就意味着我们是来穿着运动服跑鞋冲刺的,而非穿着礼服来品酒的,所以要表达“幸灾乐祸”, 你不必非要用8秒想出来8秒钟拼错schadenfreude,而最好用3秒钟写出来“laugh at others' bad luck”。

第二,不必纠结事例的真假,完全可以现编,因为官方OG规定hypothetical example是和real example可以一样用的。

这也很人性化,毕竟有些考题难度较大,像第36原题“It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.”,我们如果难以想到Dr.dre通过认同匪帮说唱的社会群体来定义自己的音乐风格这样的真人真事,完全可以现编一个“小红通过认同瑜伽群体来定义内心深处的静静”。

第三,不必纠结政治性对错,依然是OG的规矩“there is no right or wrong”。所以面对美国考官可以尽情批判特朗普付给艳星封口费,完全不用顾虑考官的什么爱国主义偏见而导致分数低。

GRE作文范文:了解社会的方式

The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines.

2018年GRE作文范文参考:

Character of a society, so complicated as it is, has always been a heated topic among social science scientists, the study of which involves people, customs, environment and various other aspects, physically and psychologically. Concerning this, the author suggests that to understand the feature and values of a society, it is best to examine the character of the men and women that the society worships, which, in my eye, gets the point in some sense despite that it ignores other measures effective in studying a society. To better present my viewpoint let me illustrate it in details.

To begin with, admittedly, since character of heroes or heroines, whether factual or imaginary, reflect, at least from a specific visual angle, mainstream values and moralities that a society and its member worship, the author's assertion gets the point in this sense. Rev. Martin Luther King, leader of the crusade fighting for equal right and against racial discrimination and segregations, is admired by the majority of American people, even scores of years after he delivered the renowned speech--"I have a dream"--that inspired and encouraged thousands of black people to strive for equal rights. This precisely mirrors one thing that all Americans ardently pursue and advocate: democracy--that is, all men are created as equal, regardless of race,nationality, and origin. Without efforts of Martin Luther King, blacks may still be separated to the back of buses and inflict what forcefully impose on them. Similarly, in the fight against gender bias, two heroines, Susan Stanton and Elizabeth B. Thorn,have been forever remembered and memorized for their contribution in paving the way for women rights, which, again, reflects that the American society is one that worships equal rights for women and men.

While the foregoing example involves heroes and heroines in social science, people,devoted themselves to natural science and humanity areas, that are admired by general populace can also aptly illustrate the credibility of the author's assertion. A society whose members worship Galileo, one who bravely and perseveringly overthrew Ptolemy and Aristotle altogether with evidence collected by turning his own-made telescope to the universe, is very likely to be one emphasizing truth and righteousness, and less likely to compromise when confront power and authority; similarly, a society whose member admire Ludwig van Beethoven, the German musician whose status is unparalleled and who composed the most famous Pathetique and Moonlight, masterpieces that have strike a cord with numerous audience, is probably one stressing artistic appreciation and the pursuit of what is eternal and universal--beauty. In short, heroes and heroines a society respect may be a mirror for the mainstream ideology and practices.

Nevertheless, by broadening this assertion to the extent that heroes and heroines are the best source of studying the character of a society, the author draws too hastily a conclusion, with other ways such as studying history, politics, legal systems, education, etc, also available. As we all know, the US is most characterized by its diversity of nationality, including Indians as native citizens, Spanish-Americans, Latin-Americans, Black-Americans, and Asians. However, to get a full understanding of this phenomenon, one can only turn to the American history, studying of which affords the answer that the War of Independence, the westward movement as well as the gold rush all contribute to this hodge-podge of nationality. Furthermore, studying of school curriculums of a society also tells us something about the contemporary and probably future characters of a society, due to the indisputable fact that children are the future and hope of a society. For example, that curriculums of American elementary and middle school are filled with courses nurturing creative thinking as well as innovative ideas and reject courses requiring pure memorization aptly show the significance of creation and innovation in American Society.

In summary, from all the discussions above, we can safely draw the conclusion that the author is fundamentally right in pointing out one way to learn the character of society. However, this assertion is somewhat one-sided in ignoring other methods, say, history and education.

GRE issue写作优秀实例:新手与专家

题目:

In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries.

在所有的研究领域中,新手要比专家更有可能获得重要的发现。

正文:

In the contemporary society, we human have gained maybe the most thorough and complicate knowledge system than any other eras before, but unfortunately also the most enormous acquirement of more important discoveries which be desired by the development of almost every realms. So this is the question affronted us: in any field of inquiry, whether the beginner or expert would the most efficient discoverer? To this question, people may offer their respective points based on their personal stands. As a beginner, my point is that the beginner will play more important role in the endless progress searching for knowledge.

In the first place, I have to concede that we can not efficiently make any discoveries without the help of expert. Expert is a kind of people who own such characteristics--experience accumulated from the practice and time; knowledge gained through long terms hard-working; also the high psychological level based on undergoing diverse situations. And with the experience they own we could make a short avenue to new knowledge by avoiding making mistakes; the knowledge they own may help us to handle the base on which we could infer to somewhat discoveries;and only with their mature psychological level could we make rational decisions when we encounter some difficulties. All these are just could be brought by the expert and could lead us a better way to new discoveries.

However, the most significant factor of discoveries is something that is the expert hard to brought to us--innovation. But to the beginner with such a typical factor--lack of experience especially that of practice, it is maybe more easier, even instinctive, to obtain innovation which could lead progress to make discoveries. The scarcity of experience does not restrain the beginner's to make somewhat contributions to make discoveries, to the contrary, it keep the beginner's mind on a condition which could produce some illusions that may be eliminated by experience such as the expert own. Such illusions, maybe useless or relateless on the surface,could maintain a lot possibilities that every one may could lead a astonishing discoveries in every realms--just consider the Brain Storm mean that have been applied to produce a lot of new ways to solve difficult problems and some eventually lead a innovation or a new discovery. So the beginner's influence to making discoveries may be the decisive one.

In addition, the benefits of the expert that I just mentioned in the second paragraph maybe also a double-edged sword. This point may be paradox but it is on the correct philosophical side--consider things from both positive and negative aspects. Their experience could also restrain their imaginations and creativetations; the "accomplished" knowledge they own may be a fetter to hamper them learn and accept some new theories; latest but not least, some of the expert have not sufficient courage to question something that may lead important discoveries because they can not afford the risk of losing their position and famous, just consider what will happen if the Einstein, when his still a beginner of enormous physical academicals world, have not dare to question the Newton's classic physical system? But the beginner could just question what they do not agree with or doubt to without any apprehensions about losing something-------they have nothing to lose. So contrast to the beginner, the expert is less likely to make any discoveries even important ones.

Although beginners also have some negative aspects such as unstable working condition but never overweight their brilliant characteristics. Every expert was a beginner but why they got changed during the progress pursue the knowledge? If every experts could keep the passion when they were still beginners and molt the fetters which restrain them, we could got more and better discoveries.
