如何让自己的GRE作文角度和视野更高?
对于issue, 将抽象具体化,通过抓住关键词进行展开分析论证,结构基本上是平行的几段,而最近见过的一些作文,觉得除了这种写法外,自己写的角度和视野可以更高些,对题目采取折中的态度,正反各说一通,最后综合说一下,比如提建议的,就说说有没有更好的建议,比如因果类的,可能有些原因本身有问题,却让我们去论证这个原因是否能导致某种结果,我们正反说一下后可以谈谈自己对这种理由的认识,诸如此类,学会这样去分析题目,写作文,我觉得肯定给人一定有深度的感觉。
关于语言,我觉得首先最基本的要求就是写对句子,一句话要表达正确表达清晰,阅卷人才有兴趣看下去。比如时态,比如短语使用,比如动词和介词的搭配,比如单词拼写,比如单词的准确使用而不是牵强附会(不能为了使用一个高级单词而不择手段)。其次就是我们的词汇使用的变换,同一个单词,可能所有人都会用,但用得恰到好处就很难了,同一个意思,可能大多数人都会向某个单词,这个时候我们可不可以换个别的单词(也不能是太偏僻的单词)。再就是表达方式的变换,主动语态和被动语态的灵活使用,我们当然很反感每句话开头都是I怎么的怎么的,还有倒装句、虚拟语气以及独立主格结构等,这些句式的使用必将使文章增色不少,我们的句子会变长,而不是简单讲状语叠加和谓语并列。
关于结构上,大部分作文的开头是first,second,third等等序数词或者连接词。其实我们学过更多的,多储备些,适当地灵活使用是很好的。
在准备的前期,当然不必要苛求自己在规定的时间内完成一篇作文,每个句子自己都可以好好琢磨下,像上面提到的,或许我们不习惯,但坚持训练十来天,相信会习惯的,实在不习惯就可以自己在写作文之前做些句子翻译练习,汉译英,然后跟人家好的翻译对照,练习一些天,也会好很多的。
语言关过了,之后的作文练习就会好很多了,就是学会思维发散和逻辑,总之就是能说出话,我想每个题目我们都应该熟悉,遇到了能说个一二三来,想不出来的查相关话题的素材,与人交流,坚决弄明白,而不要闭门造车。
最后再次建议写作文一定要修改,最好给别人修改,实在没人自己也要反复读反复酝酿,修改单词拼写错误语法错误,变换句式,查找思维漏洞。
GRE写作优秀实例:现代摄像机和印刷术
题目:
"The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."
摄像机可以通过如此精确而有力的记录手段来再现当代生活,因此它已经代替书面记录成为了一种更重要的记录手段。
正文:
"The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."There have been many methods of documenting in the history of human, from carved ancient pottery to sheepskin documents, of which the video camera may be the newest form with certain superiorities and inferiorities to written records. The advantages of video camera certainly make it an important form of documentation, but not to the extent of being more essential than written records due to its disadvantages.
To begin with, video can be interpreted as a series of pictures associated along the time, while written records can be considered as the descriptions of these pictures.Therefore, it is undoubtedly that video contains much more information than that of written records. From a video, we can clearly know what happened with subtle details.Merely with a television set, we can easily watch the happenings at home, such as the Olympic Games, comfortably sitting on the sofa, needless to be present on the spot.
And more excitedly, certain close-up enables us to scrutinize our favorable athletes. If there isn't video camera, we may be unable to enjoy such activities unless we can afford time and expense to be on the spot. While it is true that we can also be acquainted with the circumstances through newspaper or other media, however, the written record may be unable to present them as accurate as video. The imagination from the reports, however detailed, dooms to be imaginary, by all means different from the real circumstance, which video can represent. Moreover, the written records may contain some mistakes due to the carelessness or injustice of its reporters, while the video may be more accurate and convincing.
Another strongpoint of video is that it can be perceived simply by visual signals, from which people mainly get information in their daily lives, and therefore this method is more natural than written records. Everyone, ranging from a babbling child to an old grandpa, is able to get some information from the video just as they do during their daily lives, regardless of their literate ability. While the written record, no matter how easily it is represented, requires literacy of its readers, and a newspaper or book means nothing to an illiterate person. In addition, video is much easier to comprehend for people all over the world. For instance, an American can grasp nothing about a story written in Chinese unless s/he has learnt such a foreign language. However, s/he can absolutely understand something about a video recorded in China, although s/he may be confused with the language spoken in the video.
While video is certainly not superior to written recorders in all aspects, its limitations determine that the written record will not be replaced at least at present. The first disadvantage of video is that it is much more inconvenient and expensive. Video must be recorded on the spot, namely, when an event happens to you, you cannot record it unless you have a camera at hand. However, even though you haven’t paper and pencil either, you are still able to recall it to record based on your remembrance.
Therefore, for those who can't afford a handy camera or who are unwilling to bring it anytime anywhere, the written records may be the easiest form available. Further, another weakness of video is that its cost is too high and its correspondingly high-quality record may be beyond people's requirement. The cost of making a written report is much less than that of manipulating a video. Also, every morning we may browse a newspaper to know what happened throughout the world, and the simple report, which may only consume us a few seconds, meets our needs of curiosity; we needn't the accuracy and vividness of video, which may be more time-consuming.
It is fortunate for us to own video as a supplementary kind of documentation. With a video camera, we can record important events in our lives, such as the weeding or birthday party. However, it is impossible to record everything happening around us, yet we can record them in our diaries. In a word, both the video camera and the written records are irreplaceable forms of documentation, and their supplementation serves better than any one of the documentation method alone.
GRE issue写作优秀实例:知识和经验的引进
题目:
"No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."
在任何一个研究领域当中,除非有该领域之外的人引进他们的知识和经验,否则该领域就很难获得巨大的发展。
正文:
Nowadays quite lot fields of studies develop quickly due to the juxtaposition. Perhaps the produce of some significant advances in those fields attributes to the outsiders.However, this does not mean that outsider’s knowledge and experience is the necessary condition for the prosperity of a subject study as the author asserts.
Admittedly, borrowing knowledge and experience from other fields of study has indeed triggered significant breakthrough in many subjects. Quite a few scientific subjects like biochemistry, economics, astronomy, are undoubtedly the hybrids of subjects originally thought far distant from one another. Among these subjects, the changing of the astronomy is a successful example for applying the small amplifying tubes which used on chemistry to telescope inventing. As we all know, since that Copernicus raised the Copernican system, the astronomy develops slowly because of no useful equipment for seeing the sky. Then, a clever inventor used the amplifying tube which was a device for doing experiments to make out the telescope which was a changing point of the astronomy. Thanks to the cross field studying of that inventor,the progress of astronomy can be advanced so much for that today people have already embark on the moon. So, it is one of the wise ways to borrow the knowledge and experience from other fields when your own study is impeded.
However, though it is wise sometime to learn from other's experience and knowledge,this does not stand that it has necessity to import from outsiders in order to make great progress in one’s own field. On one aspect, juxtaposition in some certain fields is not feasible, for example the physics and math, they are quite difficult to mix with other sciences, because they themselves are completed system which are the basis of quite a lot other fields. For instance, it is Newton himself discover the law of gravity which caused the great development in the process of physics. On the other hand, if the great breakthroughs in all fields of study must rely on the knowledge and experience from outsiders, are there still quite a lot of people donate their whole life in solving a problem. For example, the honored mathematician called "chenjinrun" who donated his whole life in solving the GOLDBACH’S CONJECTURE. However, such a puzzle was unknown till he died. If as the author recommends, Mr. Chen should wait for the materials from other fields. However, there were no useful information from other fields to such a puzzle, only left to do was making effort to research in his field. So bringing from outsiders is not the necessary condition for the breakthrough.
Finally, as the factor contributing to an academic subjects' significant growth, they include many apart from sharing the outsiders’ intelligence, such as the long-term academic accumulation, the appropriate social and economic support, the good-timing birth of geniuses and so on. All these factors can also bring the subject study breakthrough amounts to not only rely on the suggestion as the author asserts. For example, as the America emphasis on all fields study, so the government supplies great number of money on research every year, which gives the people in that field quite a lot confidence. With the result that so many noble prize winner are American establishes that the importance of finance support.
All in all, analyzing the elements to the advance of subject, we should consider many factors rather than only focus on one important element. In my opinion, significant progress in ones field attributes to the mutual function of every related factor. Only bringing from others is wise sometime but not always.
