GRE写作从新GRE真题教你AW正反合写法
从新从新 GREGRE 真题教你真题教你 AWAW 正反合写法正反合写法 “Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and to disobey and resist unjust laws. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.” 照理说,这道题目不算太难。旧版GRE 作文题库中就有一道和它极其类似的题目 “There are two types of laws just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws.“ 一些考生感到万般纠结的是如何理解这道新G 作文的写作指引 Instruction,也就是这句话 “In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position”,尤其是如何满足“be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position”的要求,这的确是个问题。 这句话最为明确的信息是 考生的这篇作文必须要采用两面兼顾的写法,也就是一贯倡导的Issue 作文的“两面写”的策略。 这是因为,这条写作指引讲得非常明白 考生在对这道 Issue 题目提出自己的立场后,还必须Be sure to对可能被用来反驳challenge自己立场 的最有说服力的理由和或例证做出回应。这实际是要求考生在作文中一定要论及反方立场,所以,必须 两面写。 如果考生这时在写作中采用俗称的“一边倒”的写法, 就完全不符合该指引的要求了。 在其官方网站上, ETS 同样清楚地强调,写作指引是考题的一部分,考生必须要依照写作指引的要求完成写作。 所以,对于“be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position”的要求,只能“两面写”。 在新版 GRE 的 Issue 写作六条写作指引中,是不是只有这一条是必须要两面写的呢 不是的。 除了上面提到的带有“be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position”的这个写作指引外,其它五个写作指引分别如下 A Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented. B Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position. C Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position. D Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. E Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based. 可以看出,这六个写作指引基本上每一个都由两句话组成。前一句实质意义都不大,都是在问考生在 多大程度上同意或者不同意题目中的判断而后
