非常开心!这个回答不知不觉也点赞破千!也已经帮助了超级多的童鞋,考前几个小时,几天,就考到了GRE作文3.5分,甚至4分。


我也把GRE作文模板完整收录在《GRE阅读真题维夕20套解析》里面(附录里面)。本书也正式出版了,大家有需要的,也欢迎多多支持。感谢,笔芯!!


完全可以的,因为三分其实算是很低分的,只是对理工科而言,对大部分的学校都足够申请了。


下面教教你怎么用模板来准备这个考试,特别是argument, issue啊,你就当做是托福写作的独立写作来写,也差不多了,反正你的要求不高。


对了,GRE作文是argument和issue两个分数的平均分,满分都是6分,平均后的满分也是6分。所以如果你argument考5分,或者4分,issue考1分或者2分(考1/2分真的比考满分还难,好不好==)。


这样你也是可以考3分或者以上的啊!!!

很多童鞋,至今依然不懂得如何快速搞定argument写作。于是,抱着实现自我价值,帮助他人的心态,熬夜写了这篇文章,希望对国内的考生临时抱佛脚有帮助。

需要说明的是,该方法只适合argument无从下手的童鞋使用。除非迫不得已,我们不建议考生使用模板。如果考生确实要使用下面的模板,一定要记得,把下面的模板同义替换一些词汇、表达方式,形成自己的模板。否则将会被判雷同,零分。如果自己把下面的一些词汇、短语、句式修改,一般是不会被判雷同的。

万能argument模板

In this argument, the author maintains that...To justify the conclusion, the arguer points out .Although at first glance, it seems convincing. This argument, however, fails to be completely compelling as it stands, for it contains a series of unwarranted assumptions and due to the lack of necessary evidences.

First of all, the arguer simply assumes that【fallacy I 】. Without offering the tenable evidence, the arguer clearly could not back up this fundamental assumption, though this is not entirely impossible. It is much likely that【reason I】.For example, 【example I】.In order to strengthen this argument, the author should provide more credible evidences and have to rule out and account for these or other possible alternative explanations.

What is more, the author assumes that 【fallacy II】.It is equally possible that【Reason II】.For example,【example II】Thus the arguer should apply more persuasive and professional evidences to substantiate this assumption ,for any of these scenarios, if true, would undoubtedly weaken the author’s conclusion.

Finally, even if the those assumptions on which the argument based on are true, the argument only relies on the assumption that【fallacy III】and we are not informed any persuasive evidence. Thus, it is not entirely unreasonable to question the arguer's conclusion. For instance,【example III】 Lacking this indispensable evidence, the arguer cannot firmly bolster the conclusion.

To sum up, this argument is undoubtedly invalid as it seems, for the lack of compelling evidence and sound reasoning. To better evaluate the author’s conclusion, it is necessary to provide more convincing and unbiased evidences, reason more frigidly and rule out all other possible explanations.

下面演示一下,如何使用我们给出的万能模板,快速写好一篇argument.部分修改用加粗和下加横线提示,读者可以将下面的模板和上面的万能模板比较,也可以看出来,下面的模板哪里已经修改了。

Step 1 练习默打模板

In this argument, the arguer concludes/recommends/advocates/predicts/claims that [ main idea ].To justify the conclusion/predictions/recommendations, the arguer points out/cites a example of / study showing/an experiment involving.... ,which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious/unwarranted and poor assumptions/evidences and holes, however, this argument fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that [ fault 1 ]. Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that[ reason 1 ].An appropriate example is not far to seek, [ example 1 ]. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that [ ], this argument will be significantly strengthened.

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that [ fault 2 ]. In this case, we may wonder whether [ reason 2 ] is possible or not. For example, [ example 2 ]. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that [ fault 3 ] and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, it will be questionable if [ example 3 ]. .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer’s recommendation/ conclusion.

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many obvious flaws that need to be marshaled/ addressed before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

修改完属于自己的模板后,考生要开始每天在word上把这个模板打出来。一直到考试的时候可以默打出来

例如我当时是这样的,考前半个月,每天饭前饭后各在word里打一遍,最后9分钟内完全可以把该模板默打出来。

每次在上面写上开始与结束时间。

例如:下面的12:10是我开始打的时候的时间,12:19表示打完的时间,那么默打完这篇模板,我用了9分钟。于是,考场上,我还剩21分钟去找argument题目的漏洞和写出来。这时候的21分钟,是完全可以做到找出题目的漏洞和写完文章的!虽然分数可能不会特别高,但是起码速成了:)

12:10--12:19=9分钟

In this argument, the arguer concludes/recommends/advocates/predicts/claims that [ main idea ].To justify the conclusion/predictions/recommendations, the arguer points out/cites a example of / study showing/an experiment involving.... ,which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious/unwarranted and poor assumptions/evidences and holes, however, this argument fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many obvious flaws that need to be marshaled/ addressed before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

Step 2 开始写一篇文章

模板在手了,需要的是后面不断的练习默打,这样才考场上,遇到argument,看一下大概内容和写作指令。到底是要写assumption 还是evidence等。根据不同的写作指令,在打模板的时候,再稍微改动一下。下面就拿最近常考的一篇argument机经进行练习。

The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client.

"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

现在我们假设在考场里。

首先,看一下题目的文章的大概:是一个公司为一个客服的投资建议(from a firm providing investment advice to a client)。所以第一点已经明确了该题目文章是关于建议的。

其次,快速过一遍题目的这篇给客户的投资letter,我们可以看到最后的结论的地方是:we predict ...所以是关于预测类型的问题。

最后,看了一下写作指令,我看可以看到,这是一篇要写what specific evidence的文章。

马上快速在考场的argument的考试界面那里默打出如下的模板,这个模板肯定与咱们的模板有所不同,不同之处在于必须符合刚才上面提到的3点: 1,建议;2, predicerecommend ; 3, evidence。

所以在第一段,只留下predict一词,其他的concludes/recommends/advocates等全部删掉。

In this argument, the arguer predicts that .To justify the advice, the arguer points out,which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious and poor assumptions and lack the necessary evidences , however, this argument fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that [ fault 1 ]. Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that[ reason 1 ].An appropriate example is not far to seek, [ example 1 ]. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that [ ], this argument will be significantly strengthened.

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that [ fault 2 ]. In this case, we may wonder whether [ reason 2 ] is possible or not. For example, [ example 2 ]. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that [ fault 3 ] and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, it will be questionable if [ example 3 ]. .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer’s recommendation/ conclusion.

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many obvious flaws that need to be marshaled/ addressed before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

在考场上,默打完以上的模板后,我们再花几分钟,仔细看题目的文章在说什么。不难发现:

"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year. Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

脑海里反映的是:

在冬季非常寒冷的美国东北部的房屋,一直都使用传统的油料作为采暖的主要燃料。去年该地区经历了90天低于往年平均气温的严寒,并且气象预测家们预测这种天气会持续未来数年。而且,去年本地建造了很多的房屋。按此趋势,我们预测对于油料的需求将会增加. 所以我们建议对CI公司投资,该公司的主要业务之一就是家用采暖油料的零售。

接着开始找文章的漏洞:

1,气象预测家们预测这种天气会持续未来数年。但是这种预测是否靠谱?我们需要证据来表明,这些天气预测是靠谱的。例如过去的预测到底有多少次是正确的,又有多少次是扯淡的。我们需要这样的数据。否则,这些预测没有任何的说服力。

2, 很多的住宅新建起来,不见得很多人都会立刻搬进去居住,可能是房子的质量不好,也可能是人们的工资负担不起那里昂贵的房价> 又或者交通不便利,环境不好等因素。也就是我们需要一些证据:可以证明这些新房的主人会搬进去的。

3,就算前面的预测是对的,很多新房的主人也会住进来,但是随着科技的发展,我们需要有证据表明,这些地方的居民依然会使用这些不可再生的,并且产生污染以及温室气体的燃料。很可能随着科技的发展,以及当地居民环保意识的增加,居民们都使用上了太阳能、电等其他环保的能源作为供暖的能源。因此,这样的投资注定是个悲剧啊。

好。在考场上,我们花了大概5分钟左右找出漏洞后,开始准备在刚才已经打好的模板里加上去。这样就妥妥的啦。需要提醒的是,对于那些平时看题目文章,不太会找漏洞的童鞋,我们建议大家多看arguemtn提纲。如果自己找不到写作提纲,可以问上校老师。前提你是我们的保分班学生哈。

废话少说,下面开始阐述如何使用模板开始补全文章啦。如下:

第一段:

In this argument, the arguer predicts that the demand for heating oil will absolutely increased and confidently recomends the client investing in Consolidated Industries 【备注:题目原文为:an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil.很明显,我在写第一段的时候,会在原文里直接copy这一句过来,然后再同义改写一下。】.To justify the advice, the arguer points out that 【注,这个是题目原文letter的根据,考生对后面进行改写即可。笔者不再进行改写示范。last year that region experienced twenty days with below-average temperatures, and local weather forecasters throughout the region predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years and many new homes have been built in this region during the past year】,which may seem reasonable at first glance. With a series of dubious and poor assumptions and lack the necessary evidences , however, this recomendation fails to be wholly persuasive as it stands.

写完第一段我们发现,第一段基本补写的部分完全来自题目原文。考生需要做的事情是:

1,区别文章哪些是原文作者的依据,哪些是原文作者的结论。这个其实在阅读课,我一直强调呀!!

2,找出作者的依据和结论后,再在原文的基础上进行同义改写即可。

下面开始琢磨第2段。由于刚才文章的漏洞我们已经找出来了,这时候,需要做的工作,只是把下面找出的漏洞逐一添加到每段即可。例如:

1,气象预测家们预测这种天气会持续未来数年。但是这种预测是否靠谱?我们需要证据来表明,这些天气预测是靠谱的。例如过去的预测到底有多少次是正确的,又有多少次是扯淡的。我们需要这样的数据。否则,这些预测没有任何的说服力。

2, 很多的住宅新建起来,不见得很多人都会立刻搬进去居住,可能是房子的质量不好,也可能是人们的工资负担不起那里昂贵的房价> 又或者交通不便利,环境不好等因素。也就是我们需要一些证据:可以证明这些新房的主人会搬进去的。

3,就算前面的预测是对的,很多新房的主人也会住进来,但是随着科技的发展,我们需要有证据表明,这些地方的居民依然会使用这些不可再生的,并且产生污染以及温室气体的燃料。很可能随着科技的发展,以及当地居民环保意识的增加,居民们都使用上了太阳能、电等其他环保的能源作为供暖的能源。因此,这样的投资注定是个悲剧啊。

第二段:

A paramount problem involved in this recommendation is that the arguer simply assumes that 气象预测家们预测这种天气会持续未来数年【请读者把前面的中文翻译为英文即可在考场上】 Without providing the credible evidence, the arguer apparently can not substantiate this crucial assumption, though this is entirely possible. It is much likely that这些天气预测是不靠谱的.An appropriate example is not far to seek, 例如过去的预测很多是不正确的,都是是扯淡的。. In order to strengthen his/her argument, the author should provide more reliable evidences and have to rule out these or other possible alternative explanations. For example, if the arguer can convince me that 过去的预测都是非常靠谱的,正确的,这样 this argument will be significantly strengthened.

第三段:

Additionally, it is not safe to unfairly assume without substantiation that 很多的住宅新建起来,很多人都会立刻搬进去居住. In this case, we may wonder whether 那些居民是否真的一定会搬进去住is possible or not. For example, 居民们可能压根就不会搬进去,例如可能是房子的质量不好,也可能是人们的工资负担不起那里昂贵的房价> 又或者交通不便利,环境不好等因素. Thus, the author should supply more convincing evidence to confirm this assumption. Otherwise, there is little chance that this unsolid/ expedient/ ineffective assumption can be bolstered.

第四段:

Finally, even if the foregoing assumptions on which the conclusion is based on are reasonable, the argument merely relies on the assumption that这些地方的居民依然会使用这些不可再生的,并且产生污染以及温室气体的燃料。 and we are not informed any persuasive and professional evidence. In fact, it could turn out to be the case , however, that 很可能随着科技的发展,以及当地居民环保意识的增加,居民们都使用上了太阳能、电等其他环保的能源作为供暖的能源。因此,这样的投资注定是个悲剧啊。 .If so, anyone would be reluctant to accept the arguer’s recommendation.

最后一段,基本不用怎么改。

To sum up, there are, as I have presented, many necessary evidence needed to be marshaled before the proposal can be seriously scrutinized. Otherwise, any impetuous implementation of the recommendation would be unlikely to have desired consequence.

argument作业1

A recent sales study indicates that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent during the past five years. Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants whose specialty is seafood. Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about healthful eating. Therefore, the new Captain Seafood restaurant that specializes in seafood should be quite popular and profitable.

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

中文翻译:最近的销量调查显示Bay City 餐馆的海鲜菜肴的消费量比过去五年增加了30%。而现在该市还没有专门经营海鲜菜的餐厅。而且,Bay City 的大多数家庭是双收入家庭,一次国家调查显示这类家庭在家做饭的数量比十年前显著减少,同时他们更关注健康饮食。因此,在Bay City 开设一家新的专营海鲜食品的C 餐馆将会非常受欢迎而且有利可图。

参考提纲(建议考生自己重新写):

1. 最近的海鲜食品的需求比去年上升30%并不意味着海鲜食物的市场变得很大

2. 全国对于双收入家庭的调查并不意味着Bar City 同样适用

3. 作者同样忽略了其他因素:比如Bar City 当地的餐厅数量很多而且对于海鲜食品的供应是否已经足够丰富;或者是否Bar City 的居民的饮食习惯

1> 的海鲜食品的需求比去年上升30%并不意味着海鲜食物的市场变得很大(别的类型餐馆的情况> ),人们的消费增加了可能是由于人们生活的水平提高了,或者是海鲜的价格贵了,不代表吃的人多了,专营和不专营是不一样的概念

2> 对于双收入家庭的调查并不意味着Bar City 同样适用(而且他们不愿意在家里吃也不代表他们愿意出去吃的是海鲜> ),而且他们的工资即使是双收入或者比较高,但是不代表他们能够经常吃的起昂贵的海鲜

3> 同样忽略了其他因素:比如Bar City 当地的餐厅数量很多而且对于海鲜食品的供应是否已经足够丰富;或者是否Bar City 的居民的饮食习惯
