GRE作文argument寫(xiě)作技巧介紹
GRE作文中的Argument是分析一個(gè)論證過(guò)程,所以考生需要寫(xiě)出一篇駁論。由于題目所給的Argument一般是不完整因而不可信的,所以我們的文章是以削弱為主要形式的評(píng)論型文章
什么是Argument?
Argument譯為論證過(guò)程,指的是作者為了說(shuō)服他人而使用一個(gè)前提——結(jié)論式結(jié)構(gòu)得出自己觀點(diǎn)的推理過(guò)程
一個(gè)完整的Argument包含以下四個(gè)要素
l Premise——前提,能直接退出結(jié)論的一個(gè)條件
l Assumption——假設(shè),為了使論證更可信而額外設(shè)定的條件
l Evidence——論據(jù),為了使論證更可信而引用的客觀事實(shí)
l Conclusion——結(jié)論,作者最終用于說(shuō)服他人而得出的觀點(diǎn)、立場(chǎng)
一個(gè)說(shuō)服力較強(qiáng)的,完整的argument通常包含多個(gè)Assumption+Evidence來(lái)支持文章整體結(jié)構(gòu)。
為什么要寫(xiě)Analysis?
從ARGUMENT結(jié)構(gòu)角度來(lái)講:我們題庫(kù)中的Argument文章一般是Assumption和Evidence大量缺失甚至出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤,導(dǎo)致原文的結(jié)論很容易無(wú)法得出的文章。
所有的ARGUMENT文章,其基本表現(xiàn)形式為:“原文作者無(wú)法得出結(jié)論(因?yàn)?——削弱條件1+削弱條件2+削弱條件3——因此作者結(jié)論無(wú)法得出,如果想得出結(jié)論,就必須考慮到可能的削弱條件(123)”。
詳解GRE作文2大扣分重災(zāi)區(qū)
GRE寫(xiě)作扣分主要原因1:觀點(diǎn)類(lèi)問(wèn)題
GRE寫(xiě)作在論點(diǎn)上出問(wèn)題的情況是非常多的,其中最主要的情況有兩種,一種是論點(diǎn)過(guò)于寬泛,另外一種則是論點(diǎn)過(guò)于狹窄。
a. 觀點(diǎn)過(guò)于寬泛
在各類(lèi)教導(dǎo)寫(xiě)作的材料中,大家應(yīng)該時(shí)常會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)關(guān)于強(qiáng)調(diào)GRE寫(xiě)作論點(diǎn)一定要寫(xiě)得具體,越細(xì)越好的指導(dǎo)建議。而考生經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題就是會(huì)出現(xiàn)一些很寬泛的論點(diǎn)句,以至于在較短的篇幅里并不能充分展開(kāi),甚至有時(shí)候會(huì)造成觀點(diǎn)重疊。GRE高分作文寫(xiě)法步驟詳細(xì)指導(dǎo)
比如今年2月份的GRE考試中有一篇作文,題目要求探討關(guān)于移動(dòng)電話對(duì)于現(xiàn)代人生活的影響。假如考生提煉出的觀點(diǎn)是“Mobile phones have changed our life greatly. ”這句只是說(shuō)手機(jī)很大程度上改變了人們的生活,但是并未點(diǎn)明從哪些方面上帶來(lái)了改變,因此把這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)具化一下:“Mobile phones can serve as a connection to the Internet, which can be extremely convenient for obtaining information wherever you may be.”
而同樣是在2月份,還有一篇作文的題目則討論了關(guān)于廣告泛濫對(duì)于社會(huì)輿論造成的干擾。如果考生只是簡(jiǎn)單寫(xiě)“Advertising has bad effects on all of society. ”廣告有不良影響顯然是不夠的。我們需要寫(xiě)出具體的方面,比如“Advertisements which exaggerate the function of the products may mislead the consumers.”
b. 論點(diǎn)過(guò)于狹窄
與論點(diǎn)過(guò)于寬泛相對(duì)的,則是一些考生把論點(diǎn)定得太過(guò)狹窄,自己把自己逼近了死胡同以至于沒(méi)有展開(kāi)的空間甚至沒(méi)有進(jìn)一步支持的必要。這類(lèi)句子與其說(shuō)是觀點(diǎn),倒不如說(shuō)是事實(shí)的陳述或者只是舉了個(gè)例子而已。
4月第一次換庫(kù)的時(shí)候一篇曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過(guò)幾次的作文題目,講的是某個(gè)地方當(dāng)?shù)厝碎_(kāi)展旅游業(yè)的看法。有的考生直接把觀點(diǎn)寫(xiě)成“There are more local residents engaged in tourism industry. ”這其實(shí)并非觀點(diǎn),只是陳述了一個(gè)事實(shí)就是在當(dāng)?shù)卦絹?lái)越多人開(kāi)始從事旅游業(yè),可改為:“Tourism brings huge economic benefits to local residents.”就比較容易展開(kāi)了。
1月份的GRE作文中也有一道討論不可再生燃料如何持續(xù)利用的題目,如果考生寫(xiě)出“The consumption of fossil fuels increase in recent years. ”也等于是自己把話說(shuō)死了,正確寫(xiě)法是給出論述重點(diǎn),假設(shè)原因,比如“The consumption of fossil fuels increasing in recent years results from two factors.”之后就會(huì)好寫(xiě)很多。
GRE寫(xiě)作扣分主要原因2:用詞問(wèn)題
GRE寫(xiě)作評(píng)分中關(guān)于用詞有一個(gè)非常具體的評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn),demonstrates control of language, including diction and syntactic variety,即通過(guò)用詞用句的變化性有效地體現(xiàn)行文語(yǔ)言的多樣性。而許多中國(guó)考生被扣分,正是因?yàn)橛迷~過(guò)于單調(diào)重復(fù)和口語(yǔ)化。下面給大家舉5個(gè)最常見(jiàn)的不地道且常被濫用的LOW詞:
a. Really
Example:The swimmer really performed admirably.
“Really”表示“真的”,有強(qiáng)調(diào)的作用。但很多時(shí)候“really”并沒(méi)有告訴讀者或聽(tīng)者任何重要、有用的信息,缺乏說(shuō)服力。如果你想要表達(dá)一個(gè)事實(shí),不妨嘗試去掉“really”,反倒更讓信服。比如:The swimmer performed admirably.
b. Things/ Stuff
Example: “The article said a lot of things and stuff.”
Things和Stuff這兩個(gè)詞匯十分模糊,作者自己可以清楚地了解Things和Stuff代表的含義,但讀者顯然不能。Things和Stuff到底指什么?為什么會(huì)有Things和Stuff?我如何獲得這些Things和Stuff?這都是讀者會(huì)產(chǎn)生的問(wèn)題。所以與其圖一時(shí)省事,不如清晰地描述出你的想法,這樣你的寫(xiě)出的句子才會(huì)有力量。例如:The aricle discussed the principles of interactive design.
c. I believe/I feel/I think
Example: “I believe the author has a great point here…”
很多人認(rèn)為在觀點(diǎn)前加上“I believe/I feel/I think”可以表明立場(chǎng),避免邏輯漏洞,也更容易讓人接受自己的想法。但如果對(duì)方本身對(duì)你的認(rèn)可度不高,你的“I believe/I feel/I think”反而會(huì)引起對(duì)方的抵抗情緒。過(guò)度小心翼翼會(huì)讓你顯得沒(méi)有自信,不夠真誠(chéng)。你完全可以說(shuō):“The researcher has a great point here.”
d. Was/Is/Are/Am
Example: “Theletter was mailed by Sally.”
使用Was/Is/Are/Am和不使用的區(qū)別在于被動(dòng)和主動(dòng)的區(qū)別。在這個(gè)例句中,Was/Is/Are/Am讓句式變成更為復(fù)雜的被動(dòng),而在地道的英語(yǔ)思維中,應(yīng)該盡可能少地使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài);另一方面,當(dāng)你使用被動(dòng)句,句子的主旨也會(huì)隨之改變,從Sally變成了letter。英文寫(xiě)作要做到簡(jiǎn)潔有力,“Sally mailed the letter.”顯然比“The letter was mailed by Sally.”表達(dá)的更清晰。
e. Very
Example:Scientistsare very interested in finding out more about the duck-billed platypus“Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write‘very’; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it shouldbe.” — Mark Twain
very是最常被大家使用的一個(gè)單詞,但也是最蒼白的一個(gè)單詞。一句“very good”遠(yuǎn)不如“wonderful”來(lái)得生動(dòng)。要記住,讀者的時(shí)間非常寶貴,你的語(yǔ)言一定要精簡(jiǎn)。
綜上所述,考生想要在GRE作文部分有所表現(xiàn),那么對(duì)于導(dǎo)致作文扣分的主要原因,就必須做到心里有數(shù)。如果大家的寫(xiě)作得分長(zhǎng)期得不到提升,那么就該放下筆來(lái)暫停練習(xí),先找找原因再說(shuō)了。
