GRE作文突破平均分备考技巧
GRE作文4分以上的成绩是很多考生的目标。但想得到这样的作文成绩颇有难度,许多考生的得分都卡在3分左右无法突破。今天小编给大家带来了GRE作文突破平均分备考技巧,希望能够帮助到大家,一起来学习吧。
GRE作文突破平均分备考技巧
刷题库以练习提纲为主
大家之所以写不好GRE作文拿不到高分,列提纲技巧不过关是主要原因之一,许多考生拿到题目看了一眼就开始写,最后全文缺乏连贯性思路混乱自然拿不到高分。而列提纲就能帮助大家摆脱这个问题,因此小编建议大家在备考GRE作文时,可以多做列提纲的练习,目标是做到以下几点:
1. 见到题目,能立即反应出大概从哪三点切入,这就是所谓的思路,没有思路才是写作的大忌。
2. 准备好例子素材。一般来说,一篇作文至少要包含三个分论点,那么想出论点后就要立刻想出配套的例子,一定要在考前充实一些例子。例子一写,字数一下就上去了。
3. 一定要举一返三。GRE作文很多题目看似不同,但本质上其实说的都是一个问题,把内容类似的题目放在一起复习,复习一个就等于复习好几个,这种举一反三的做法可以大大提升复习效率。
结合机经真题整理近期高频题目
很多考生都喜欢在考前看机经,这种做法对于提前准备作文来说是很有帮助的。这是因为GRE作文题目都是从官方公布的题库中选出的,因此通过机经缩小范围后再进行练习就能起到针对性效果。而比起把题库中所有的作文考题过一遍,显然通过学习机经真题将近期考过的题过三遍会更有效。而考生通过总结考前三个月的GRE机经真题就可以发现,其实GRE作文题目的出题始终在一定的范围之内,只要能够掌握好三个月内的作文考题,那么考试中遭遇到相同或同类题目的可能性就很高了。
适当准备段落句式模板应对各种话题
考生如果没有时间动笔写GRE作文,那么至少要在考前五天总结出几个可以套用的万能模板。有模板就有了底气,可以保证在规定时间里写出足够的文章字数,这样还能节省出不少写作时间,用以检查全文或增减内容。当然,模板的记忆不要只是简单地背诵,最好能够默写出来,写在纸上的记忆效果比心中回想更好。同时尽可能避免使用一些大路货模板,哪怕这些模板再好,也存在很高的被判雷同风险,最好是通过自已的语言风格重新组织一下语句,一方面提升对模板的熟练度,同时也能有效避开雷同危险。
考生如果想要在GRE写作中拿到4分以上的好成绩,备考中就必须更有技巧才行。比起一题一题的练笔,上述方法显然更有效率和实用性,大家如果能够合理运用本文中提到的这些技巧,作文成绩的提升自然就不在话下了。
GRE写作素材之亚里士多德
Aristotle 384BC -- 322BC
Greek philosopher, scientist, physician. One of the greatest figures in the history of Western thought, Aristotle was born in Stagira, Macedonia. In 367 BC, he went to Athens, where he was associated with Plato's Academy until Plato's death in 347 BC. He then spent time in Asia Minor and in Mytilene (on Lesbos). In 342 BC he was invited by Philip of Macedon to educate his son, Alexander (later, the Great). He returned to Athens (335 BC) and opened a school (the Lyceum); his followers were called Peripatetics, supposedly from his practice of walking up and down restlessly during his lectures. After Alexander's death (323 BC), there was strong anti-Macedonian sentiment in Athens; Aristotle was accused of impiety and, perhaps with Socrates' fate in mind, escaped to Chalcis in Euboea, where he died the next year.
Aristotle's writings represented an enormous, encyclopedic output over virtually every field of knowledge: logic, metaphysics, ethics, politics, rhetoric, poetry, biology, zoology, physics, and psychology. The bulk of the work that survives actually consists of unpublished material in the form of lecture notes or students' textbooks; but even this incomplete corpus is extraordinary for its range, originality, systematization, and sophistication.
His work exerted an enormous influence on mediaeval philosophy (especially through St Thomas Aquinas), Islamic philosophy (especially through Averro?s), and indeed, on the entire Western intellectual and scientific tradition. The works most read today include Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics, Politics, Poetics, De anima and the Organon (treatises on logic).
GRE写作:如何解决论据素材
其实,如果你留心观察生活,就会发现,生活中到处都是好例子,遗憾的是,我们从来没有想过把它们变成GRE写作的一部分。
那么该怎么去发现这些好例子呢?方法其实也很简单:
首先,你必须要很熟悉题库。很多老师对issue部分的题目都有分类,网上也有很多这方面的资料。其实不论是何种分类方法,你都必须要通过分类对整个244道题库有个全面的了解,知道ETS会考什么,不会考什么。
接下来,有了对题库的了解之后,这是你会发现,有些生活中看似无关的事情,突然变得有用了。这里,我就以一个八杆子打不着的"犀利哥"给大家做个示范。
犀利哥的背景大家都熟,这里就不多介绍了。可是他的事情怎么就能写到GRE作文里呢?
首先,犀利哥是一个普通的流浪人员,但是却一夜暴红,这和媒体的炒作不无关系。而我们的issue题库中,就有很多讨论媒体对公众影响的题目。这时,犀利哥就是个媒体影响很好的证明。
其次,犀利哥的出名也反映了当今社会对外表和时尚的狂热。人们完全无视他是个有精神障碍的病人,而只是因为他的穿着恰好符合当时的审美趋势而追捧他。这在讨论到issue33题"外表和内在那个更重要的时候"也非常适合。
当然,这个例子还可以用来讨论公众隐私(29, 161题)和快餐文化(107, 151, 215等题)中,这里就不多解释。
根据刚刚的分析,我们就很容易把犀利哥的例子,按照事件的积极消极意义,整理成下面的一些要点:
Positive side:
1)Media's magic power to turn a nobody into somebody overnight
2)Media's role in bringing public attention to the misfortune and the helpless who may otherwise be neglected and discarded by the society
Negative side:
1)The world's over-emphasis on the appearance, not on the inner-self. By turning a homeless to a fashion model, the story of Brother Xili is just an extreme case of many.
2)The frenetic pursuit of instant fame and interests by modern people dwarfs the most fundamental basis of human nature: love, equality, respect and compassion.
3)The world only cares about the "fashionable" photos of Brother Xili and flocks to Ningbo to see him in person. But no one really cares about him as a person, a man with mental disorder, a brother that needs our care and love, not relentless media exposure and disturbance.
