纵观整个GRE写作考试,似乎应该概括为Issue让我们变得广博,Argument让我们成为辩手,那么,GRE Argument写作是什么?下面我们来分析一下GRE Argument写作特点、破题步骤、写作步骤及论证方法。 一. GRE Argument写作特点 What is an Argument? A strong argument attempts to persuade the reader to accept a point ofview. As such, it consists of a proposition, a declarative statement which iscapable of being argued, and a proof, a reason or ground which is supported byevidence. The evidence, in turn, is composed of relevant facts, opinions basedon facts and careful reasoning. If you are analyzing an argument, you shouldlook for both of these: a proposition and the evidence supporting theproposition. Attack the Argument Each arguments stimulus has been intentionallyloaded with flaws that you should acknowledge anddiscuss. If you fail to see the more fundamental problems in the argument, youwill not get a high score. The purpose of the essay is for you to critique the reasoningin the argument . Yourpersonal opinions are not relevant. Your essay needs to focus on flaws in theargument. While in the Analysis of Issue you write your opinion on a subject,in the Analysis of Argument you write a logical critique of a flawed argument.Thus, the approaches to the two essays should be different. |
