GRE Argument常见误区和问题
<p> 在<span word="GRE">GRE</span>和<span word="GMAT">GMAT</span>考试中，作文部分都包括了<span word="ISSUE">ISSUE</span>和<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>两个部分，说的简单一点，就是立论和驳论两种类型的议论文写作。 长时间以来，很多中国同学在准备这两种作文的过程中都认为<span word="ISSUE">ISSUE</span>比较困难，而<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>比较简单，因而很明显地呈现出一种重<span word="ISSUE">ISSUE</span>，轻 <span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>的状态。然而，我在统计最近几年中国同学的<span word="GRE">GRE</span>作文成绩时发现，如果大家的<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>成绩还不错的话，那最后的总分应该不会低 到现在的地步。于是，我到网上仔细阅读了一些同学作文，并看了大多数大家所膜拜或参考的提纲，发现同学的<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>分数低是完全可能的，因 为很多人写的<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>，都不符合<span word="ETS">ETS</span>官方说明的要求(要求具体可以参考我的日志文章)，主要问题有如下的几个方面。</p><p> 第一，很多同学对题目的理解本身有问题。很多同学在准备<span word="ARGUMENT">ARGUMENT</span>的过程中，没有仔细阅读<span word="ETS">ETS</span>官方发布的题库，而是大量参考网上流传的或者一些参考书上给出的 中文翻译，甚至完全不看题目的英文原文。但是，这些翻译有一些和原题实际表达的意思是不一致的，这就会造成同学们在分析题目论证错误的过程中出现问题。比 如，有一道题目原文是：</p><p> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="following">following</span> <span word="appeared">appeared</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="editorial">editorial</span> <span word="section">section</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Monroetowns">Monroetowns</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="newspaper">newspaper</span>.</p><p> <span word="Mayor">Mayor</span> <span word="Brown">Brown</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="recently">recently</span> <span word="re">re</span>-<span word="elected">elected</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="clear">clear</span> <span word="majority">majority</span> <span word="of">of</span> 52 <span word="percent">percent</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Monroetowns">Monroetowns</span> <span word="voters">voters</span>. <span word="Her">Her</span> <span word="re">re</span>-<span word="election">election</span>, <span word="however">however</span>, <span word="does">does</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="show">show</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="town">town</span> <span word="favored">favored</span> <span word="Mayor">Mayor</span> <span word="Browns">Browns</span> <span word="proposal">proposal</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="tax">tax</span> <span word="reduction">reduction</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="opponent">opponent</span>, <span word="Mr">Mr</span>. <span word="Greene">Greene</span>, <span word="who">who</span> <span word="proposed">proposed</span> <span word="raising">raising</span> <span word="taxes">taxes</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="improve">improve</span> <span word="education">education</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="shown">shown</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="voters">voters</span> <span word="nationwide">nationwide</span> <span word="tend">tend</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="re">re</span>-<span word="elect">elect</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="already">already</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="office">office</span>, <span word="regardless">regardless</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="candidates">candidates</span> <span word="proposals">proposals</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="fact">fact</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="survey">survey</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="election">election</span> <span word="showed">showed</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Monroetown">Monroetown</span> <span word="disagreed">disagreed</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="Mayor">Mayor</span> <span word="Browns">Browns</span> <span word="proposal">proposal</span>. <span word="Clearly">Clearly</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Monroetown">Monroetown</span> <span word="favor">favor</span> <span word="improving">improving</span> <span word="education">education</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="therefore">therefore</span> <span word="approve">approve</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Mr">Mr</span>. <span word="Greenes">Greenes</span> <span word="proposal">proposal</span> <span word="despite">despite</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fact">fact</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="vote">vote</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="him">him</span>.</p>
