GMAT写作布局策略详解
写作部分是GMAT考试里一个典型的题目,GMAT写作怎么写才能够拿高分,想要拿到高分,作文中段落和句子的布局就很重要了,下面小编就来为大家介绍一下吧!
一、我们要浏览GMAT作文题目、审题(分析题目的结论、论据和假设)并写出开头段
审题和开头段同时进行,一边看题一边写,这不是回避逻辑错误,GMAT考试而是将审题、找错和写作有机地结合。第一段的任务无非就是指出论题的结论、假设、论据,并指出题目有错误。同学们会发现,在我们写作第一段的时候,逻辑错误会不断的涌现出来,而当我们把有问题的假设以及原论证的逻辑结构清理以后,该论证所存在的所有问题也就都暴露出来了。
二、在写完开头段并审好题后,大家要趁着头脑清醒,把主要的逻辑问题都打出来
原文可能出现六七个逻辑错误,而大家只需要从中挑出3-4个最主要的进行有利的攻击就可以了。因为这篇文章能不能拿高分,直接取决于与你能否抓住主要逻辑错误。也就是说,如果你忽视了非常致命的逻辑错误,那么即使你把其它的错误批驳得再好,所用的语言再美,字数再多,最后照样不及格。有人担心是不是要把所有的错误都清理出来,实际上大家只要把主要的错误都清理出来,进行有利的攻击,同样可以拿到六分,正如ETS的六分例文一样。这样做的另一个好处是可以节约时间,因为考生在正文写作时往往会把顺手的段落大写特写,力争在某点上把敌人驳的体无完肤,但是等到意识到有其它的重要逻辑错误未被谈及的时候,时间却已经到了。而首先列出提纲则可以提醒我们点到为止,切实做到合理分配时间。与其把一个问题分析的特别透彻,不如把所有的主要问题都涉及到,即使不很透彻,也比前者要好。简而言之,Argument这部分展开批驳的时候,与其“断其一指”,不如“伤其四指”。
三、在完成了提纲之后,就要逐一展开正文段落了
正文段落的`展开有两种的顺序,第一种就是先攻击主要的问题,GMAT写作在第一个段落批驳最重要的逻辑错误,也花最多的笔墨,以后字数和重要性逐级递减。另外一种就是以论证的逻辑关系为序一层一层的批驳。不论何种方式,都应遵循展开文章的一个整体原则,也就是挑你最有话可说的先说。实际上,顺序是可以在检查时通过剪切和复制调整的。
一般情况下都是一段攻击一个主要的逻辑问题。如果逻辑错误很多,那么可以在最后一个正文段集中批判一下,而最后一段中的每个错误点到为止即可。对于除此以外的逻辑错误,我们都应该至少提供一个能批驳原论证的反例或假设。而对于正文段落(除去开头段和结尾段)的数量,没有正确或错误之分,但由于每篇官方 Argument文章都含有2个以上的正文段,我们的文章的正文段数量最好应达到2至4段,全篇最好为4至6段,每个正文段针对一个主要的问题, 每段以4-8句话为宜。句子太少会导致论证不充分,而如果一段超过8句必然有重复的内容,论证效果就会有缺陷,因此每段的句子数量并非越多越好。
结尾段的功能只有两个,即再次指出原论证有错误,并指出如何能弥补该错误。
延伸阅读:GMAT写作分数低的七个原因
第一、样本不足
The evidence the author provides is insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it. One example is logically unsounded to establish a general conclusion (The statistics from only a few recent years are not necessarily a good indicator of future trends), unless it can be shown that A1 is representative of all A. It is possible that.... In fact, in face of such limited evidence, the conclusion that B is completely unwarranted.
第二、无因果联系
The author commits a fallacy of causal oversimplification. The line of the reasoning is that because A occurred before B, the former event is responsible for the latter. (The author uses the positive correlation between A and B to establish causality. However, the fact that A coincides with B does not necessarily prove that A caused B.) But this is fallacious reasoning unless other possible causal explanations have been considered and ruled out. For example, perhaps C is the cause of these events or perhaps B is caused by D.
第三、错误类比
The argument rests on the assumption that A is analogous to B in all respects. This assumption is weak, since although there are points of comparison between A and B, there is much dissimilarity as well. For example, A..., however, B.... Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B to do....
第四、时地全等
The author commits the fallacy of “all things are equal”. The fact that happened two years ago is not a sound evidence to draw a conclusion that.... The author assumes without justification that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different locations. However, it is not clear in this argument whether the current conditions at AA are the same as they used to be two years ago. Thus it is impossible to conclude that....
第五、二者择一
The author assumes that AA and BB are mutually exclusive alternatives and there is no room for a middle ground. However, the author provides no reason for imposing an either-or choice. Common sense tells us that adjusting both AA and BB might produce better results.
第六、结论无据
The author falsely depends on gratuitous assumption that.... However, no evidence is stated in the argument to support this assumption. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. For example, it is more likely that.... Therefore, this argument is unwarranted without ruling out such possibility.
第七、可疑调查
The poll cited by the author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not indicate who conducted the poll, who responded, or when, where and how the poll was conducted. (Lacking information about the number of people surveyed and the number of respondents, it is impossible to access the validity of the results. For example, if 200 persons were surveyed but only 2 responded, the conclusion d be highly suspect. Because the argument offers no evidence that would rule out this kind of interpretations,) Until these questions are answered, the results of the survey are worthless as evidence for the conclusion.
