Some people believe that... Others, however, maintain that...第二句话:A.单一观点(简称单)1.支持:In my point of view, I agree with the speaker and there are many instances supporting my view.2.反对:In my point of view, I do not agree with the opinion stated above for some obvious reasons.B.两厢比较(简称两)In my point of view, whether one has advantages over the other depends on the specific circumstances.第二段:In the first place, the reason why I have such a view is that...A particular example for this is ...Under this circumstance, it is obvious that...第三段:In the second place, much evidence has shown that ...Just imagine what would be like if...Hence, another equally important aspect is that...第四段:Finally, to understand the truth of ..., it is also necessary to see...For example, ...总结段:Consequently, due to the above-mentioned reasons, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that...The issue concerning whether… is quite controversial.Frankly, I share the author’s point that…(外加部分限定条件)But, as I see, without weighing all factors affecting…, the author practically narrows the opinion to an extreme, thereby giving rise to a distortion of the original intention underlying this issue. Accordingly, a fundamental analysis representing my points of agreement and remedy with the opinion is discussed as below.On the one hand, the assertion that… is largely tenable.One important supporting reason is that…Furthermore…Therefore, the author’s assertion, although suffering from a few drawbacks, has its salient merit, that is, the implicit rationale behind the assertion accords not only with the common sense but also with our life experience and an foreseeable trend.On the other hand, this assertion, to some extent, amounts to an overstatement because it fails to take into consideration other essential factors whereas an appropriate choice must incorporate different aspects of the issue.For example…In conclusion, the issue of whether… is a meaningful but complex one. Only by both considering the factors discussed above and dissecting other circumstances that are not detailed or not even mentioned here, can we safely arrive at the conclusion that…ISSUE:Recently there is a debate over whether …..Some people assert that.., while other people believe that…As a matter of fact, the issue of whether ….. is a complex and controversial one. Different people hold different views due to their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation. The decision, nevertheless, is not an easy one to make. Actually, the final judgment should rely on a case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree that …. , and do not agree that….. My view can be greatly substant iated by the following discussions.The first argument that can be presented to develop my position is that… A good example may be found in the case that… Under this circumstance, it is obvious that….In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this statement. The reason is not far to seek…. To illustrate, let us consider that … Hence, another equally important aspect is that….Admittedly, it may be true that …. in some conditions. However, this alone does not constitute a sufficient support to cl aim that ….,Actually, these cases are rare and therefore are too specific and too weak to strengthen the view that…When the advantages and disadvantages of x and y are carefully examined, the most striking conclusion is obvious that…To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them, we may be comfortable to say that …., because….Issue 一(重复题目)?To some extent, I agree with t he author’s general assertion that if(作者的观点,赞同形式). (即在作者的观点上,加上一些条件,有保留地赞同). However, the author unnecessarily extends this broad assertion to an irreversible extreme while overlooks other compelling factors that may affect this issue. On balance, my points of agreement and contentionwith the author involve the fundamental and deep analysis as discussed below.On the one hand, I would like to admit that this statement, although suffers from some obvious drawbacks, has some merit primarily in some special cases in which the implicit rationale behind it accords with common sense and our experience in daily life. Hence, it is partiality indisputable. After all, (举个例子从一方面说明作者观点的正确性). Further more, (举个例子从另一方面说明作者观点的正确性). All these evidence demonstrates beyond and doubt that(作者的结论). (以上两段要找两个理由,来说明作者观点如何对)On the other hand, recognizing that a more applicable choice must incorporate different aspects of the issue as sufficient as possible, I have to point out that the author overstates the (作者结论的原因)’s comparative significance, and fail to take into account other essential factors. In short, this assertion is problematic in two aspects. The first argument----the one that I think the most compelling----is that the arguer overlooked(作者有可能错误的第一个原因), that is to say(总结一下,换个说法). The second argument---it might have noticed by others---is that in some occasion, it is quite difficult to (作者有可能错误的第二个原因). Accordingly, I tend to concede that when it comes to some certain circumstances it is partiality appropriate. (这里找两个理由说明在一些场合下,作者观点还是不成立的,因为不管什么论点,成立还是会有条件的。

GRE ISSUE题目分类第一类社会类2."Competition is ultimately more beneficial than detrimental to society."3."It is more important to allocate money for immediate, existing social problems than to spend it on long-term research that might help future generations."9."Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use."15"The stability of a society depends on how it responds to the extremes of human behavior."16"Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals."17"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."19"If a society is to thrive, it must put its own overall success before the well-being of its individual citizens."20"National governments should devote more of their social programs and services to children than to adults."22"Many people believe that a few individuals or small groups (family, friends, teachers, celebrities, for example) have caused them to think and behave in the way they do. Yet it is always society as a whole that defines us and our attitudes, not a few individuals."23"Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives."29"Public figures such as actors, politicians, and athletes should expect people to be interested in their private lives. When they seek a public role, they should expect that they will lose at least some of their privacy."33"Creating an appealing image has become more important in contemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that image."36"The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."40"Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to thelarger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."41"Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science."46"While some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation."47"Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect—that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."58"The increasingly rapid pace of life today causes more problems than it solves."61"High-profile awards such as the Nobel Prize are actually damaging to society because they suggest that only a few people deserve such recognition."65"People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups."70"In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."72"One can best understand the most important characteristics of a society by studying its major cities."76"Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists are always out of step with their time and their society."77"People today are too individualistic. Instead of pursuing self-centered, separate goals, people need to understand that satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family, the community, or society as a whole."89"Leaders are created primarily by the demands that are placed upon them."93"The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making."113"It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves."120"So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present."126"Society's external rewards are no measure of true success. True success can be measured only inrelation to the goals one sets for oneself."133"The problems of modern society have led many people to complain: 'We live in terrible times.' Yet, given the choice, no one today would prefer to live in any other time."140"What society has thought to be its greatest social, political, and individual achievements have often resulted in the greatest discontent."142"The well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority."149"The most practical and effective way to protect wilderness areas is to attract more tourists to these areas through environmentally sensitive projects."152"The only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies."160"The most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little."170"The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people."171"People who pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons are more likely to benefit the rest of the world than are people who try to act for the public good."174"Laws should not be rigid or fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times, and places."178"It is possible to pass laws that control or place limits on people's behavior, but legislation cannot reform human nature. Laws cannot change what is in people's hearts and minds."180"Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."185"Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could."193"It is not the headline-making political events but the seldom-reported social tranformations that have the most lasting significance."198"Instead of encouraging conformity, society should show greater appreciation of individual differences."203"The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men andwomen that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines."220"The increase in knowledge is forcing people to specialize. As a result, the distance between fields of specialization has become so vast that specialists in different areas are rarely able to influence each other."242"Societies should try to save every plant and animal species, regardless of the expense to humans in effort, time, and financial well-being."244"Most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them."第二类行为类12"People's attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic."18"Only by being forced to defend an idea against the doubts and contrasting views of others does one really discover the value of that idea."21"Reform is seldom brought about by people who are concerned with their own reputation and social standing. Those who are really in earnest about reforming a government, an educational system, or any other institution must be willing to be viewed with disdain by the rest of the world."25"Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction—in other words, to make things as simple as possible."27"No one can possibly achieve success in the world by conforming to conventional practices and conventional ways of thinking."31"Money spent on research is almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial."35"No matter what the situation, it is more harmful to compromise one's beliefs than to adhere to them."37"In most societies, competition generally has more of a negative than a positive effect."62"The widespread idea that people should make self-improvement a primary goal in their lives is problematic because it assumes that people are intrinsically deficient."64"Many people know how to attain success, but few know how to make the best use of it."68"People make the mistake of treating experts with suspicion and mistrust, no matter how valuable their contributions might be."71"Spending time alone makes one a better companion to others."74"The most effective way to communicate an idea or value to large groups of people is through the use of images, not language."75"The people who make important contributions to society are generally not those who develop their own new ideas, but those who are most gifted at perceiving and coordinating the talents and skills of others."81"Patriotic reverence for the history of a nation often does more to impede than to encourage progress."84"In any field of endeavor, it is impossible to make a significant contribution without first being strongly influenced by past achievements within that field."86"Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition."87"In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important discoveries."91"Most people think that their deeply held values are the result of rational choice, but reason often has little to do with the way people form values."95"People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does."99"In any realm of life—whether academic, social, business, or political—the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."118"In any field of endeavor—the sciences, the humanities, the social sciences, industry, etc.—it is not the attainment of a goal that matters, but rather the ideas and discoveries that are encountered on the way to the goal."121"At various times in the geological past, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes. Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species."127"Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions."136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."137"What we call progress is a matter of exchanging one problem for another."139"Every new generation needs to redefine 'right' and 'wrong' in its own terms and according to the conditions of its own time."141"Most people recognize the benefits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic successrequires conformity."145"A crucial test of character is whether one is able to adapt to changing social conventions without sacrificing one's principles."146"People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it."148"Many people admire idealism, but it usually leads to disappointment or trouble."156"Choice is an illusion. In reality, our lives are controlled by the society in which we live."157"There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."162"One often hears about the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own lives. However, the conditions in which people find themselves have been largely established long before people become aware of them. Thus, the concept of personal responsibility is much more complicated and unrealistic than is often assumed."163"Most people live, whether physically or morally, in a very restricted circle. They make use of a very limited portion of the resources available to them until they face a great problem or crisis."165"In any given field, the leading voices come from people who are motivated not by conviction but by the desire to present opinions and ideas that differ from those held by the majority."168"Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value unless it comes from someone who is an expert in that field."175"It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual."182"It is dangerous to trust only intelligence."184"It is a grave mistake to theorize before one has data."186"Practicality is now our great idol, which all powers and talents must serve. Anything that is not obviously practical has little value in today's world."187"It is easy to welcome innovation and accept new ideas. What most people find difficult, however, is accepting the way these new ideas are put into practice."188"Success, whether academic or professional, involves an ability to survive in a new environment and, eventually, to change it."192"Success in any realm of life comes more often from taking chances or risks than from careful andcautious planning."194"The best preparation for life or a career is not learning to be competitive, but learning to be cooperative."199"Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals. When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone."206"People are too quick to take action; instead they should stop to think of the possible consequences of what they might do."208"The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."209"Progress is best made through discussion among people who have contrasting points of view."210"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work."211"Any decision-whether made by government, by a corporation, or by an individual person-must take into account future conditions more than present conditions."212"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."216"Most important discoveries or creations are accidental: it is usually while seeking the answer to one question that we come across the answer to another."225"People often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms; we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else."226"People are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are more complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors. This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience."231" 'Moderation in all things' is ill-considered advice. Rather, one should say, 'Moderation in most things,' since many areas of human concern require or at least profit from intense focus."234"Most people prefer restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice, although they would probably deny such a preference."235"Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyalty—whether to one's friends, to one's school orplace of employment, or to any institution—is all too often a destructive rather than a positive force."236"Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things if they try hard enough is both misleading and potentially harmful."238"Conformity almost always leads to a deadening of individual creativity and energy."239"Much of the information that people assume is 'factual' actually turns out to be inaccurate. Thus, any piece of information referred to as a 'fact' should be mistrusted since it may well be proven false in the future."240"Although it is easy to respond positively to the work of another person or group, it is far more worthwhile to give negative feedback."第三类教育5"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer."32"A school or college should pay its teachers at the same rate in all disciplines, regardless of differences in salaries for related fields in the world outside of school. For example, entry-level teachers in mathematics and in the arts should receive the same pay, even if outside of school, math specialists earn a much higher salary on average than do specialists in the arts."34"Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly work-oriented society."39"The intellectual benefits of attending a university or college are vastly overrated: most people could learn more by studying and reading on their own for four years than by pursuing a university or college degree."50"In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."51"Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."52"Education encourages students to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony."53"College and university education should be free for all students, fully financed by the government." 55"Competition for high grades seriously limits the quality of learning at all levels of education."67"Colleges should require students to engage in public-service activities in order to assure that each student receives a balanced, well-rounded education."78"Schools should be required to teach the essential interconnectedness of all human beings and thus help eliminate wars, cultural clashes, and other forms of conflict."80"All students should be required to take courses in the sciences, even if they have no interest in science."90"College students should be encouraged to pursue subjects that interest them rather than seek programs that promise entry into the job market."94"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."98"Colleges and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts and literature of the past."100"The pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning. An educational environment without grades would promote more genuine intellectual development."102"For better or worse, education is a process that involves revising the ideas, beliefs, and values people held in the past."104"It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears."106"All students should be required to take at least one course in ethics, even if taking the course means a decreased emphasis on academic subjects."112"Some educational systems emphasize the development of students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions."128"It is often asserted that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit. In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free."130"How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society."132"The university community consists of three different worlds—the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because each world operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking, rarely is there meaningful interaction among the sciences, the humanities, and the socialsciences."134"Students should be encouraged to realize that mental agility and rhetorical skill must be accompanied by sincerity and the true conviction of their own beliefs."153"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."154"Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators."191"Education should be equally devoted to enriching the personal lives of students and to training students to be productive workers."201"The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas—not to prepare them for a specific job."213"Too much emphasis has been placed on the need for students to challenge the assertions of others. In fact, the ability to compromise and work with others—that is, the ability to achieve social harmony—should be a major goal in every school."214"Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped."222"Learning for learning's sake is an outdated concept. Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals."223"Education is primarily a personal matter; it has little to do with school or college."228"The best way to teach—whether as an educator, employer, or parent—is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones."230"College students—and people in general—prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions. Therefore, colleges should eliminate as many choices as possible in order to offer students clear direction."232"The purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is separate from the outside world. This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns."第四类科技7."The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."30"The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time."66"As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate."69"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"88"Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics."107"Instant communication systems encourage people to form hasty opinions and give quick replies rather than take the time to develop thoughtful, well-reasoned points of view."114"Humanity has made little real progress over the past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but the overall condition of humanity is no better. War, violence, and poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition of humanity."115"It is through the use of logic and of precise, careful measurement that we become aware of our progress. Without such tools, we have no reference points to indicate how far we have advanced or retreated."119"When research priorities are being set for science, education, or any other area, the most important question to consider is: How many people's lives will be improved if the results are successful?"124"Instant foods, instant communication, faster transportation-all of these recent developments are designed to save time. Ironically, though, instead of making more leisure time available, these developments have contributed to a pace of human affairs that is more rushed and more frantic than ever before."129"Technology is a necessary but not always a positive force in modern life."135"While most of the environmental problems we face result from the use of technology, society must depend upon technology to find solutions to these problems."150"Because of television and worldwide computer connections, people can now become familiar with a great many places that they have never visited. As a result, tourism will soon become obsolete."151"High-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication."155"Contemporary society offers so many ways of learning that reading books is no longer very important."159"The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human。

issue写作六大提问方式分析
通过对改革后的立论文分析不难发现,在这149道题目中一共有六种提问方式。
让我们归纳总结一下他们的规律。
注:由于关于claim的问题方式有两次,笔者统一归纳总结成为一种方式,故图中展示的只有五种。
仔细关注下statement, recommendation, claim这三个单词,他们在某些方面具有程度递进的关系。
1. Statement: the expression in spoken or written words of something such as a fact, intention, or policy, or an instance of this.意为陈述某一事实,意图,政策。
重点在于陈述。
2. Recommendation: a suggestion as to what is a good or sensible thing to do or use in the circumstances意为合理的建议(比陈述事实更近了一步)3. Claim: maintain something is true: to say, without proof or evidence, that something is true 意为声明,即便在没有证据的情况下仍然坚持声称某事为真实的从以上的分析中不难看出这三种问法在操作形式上具有程度类比,其中第三种的程度语气更强。
让我们仔细分析一下例子1. Statement (以下是事实陈述的例子)i. The luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.ii. In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important contributions.iii.

Issue 题目逻辑公式全集目录一、主题逻辑:N>M (3)二、主题逻辑:N 对 M 有影响 (6)三、主题逻辑:N 应该对 M 做某事 (10)四、主体逻辑:N 应该做 M (12)五、主体逻辑:N 是 M (16)高频题目总结一、主题逻辑:N>M常见拆分方式:领域拆分N 和M 哪个重要,有两种处理方式:1.N 和M 不一样大,N or M 随便选一个进行领域拆分2.N = M很多题目中,都是我们应该做N 还是做M?一旦涉及到了这种两难的选择,就是在论证N 和M 到底谁好,就是变相的比大小1.觉得好写,我们就直接比出N 和M 的大小2.觉得不好写,我们就求证N=M科技类题目64. The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds.科技类题目我们一般不拆machine 和technology,所以这道题目我们拆human mind。
我们有情感、能力但是机器没有社会类题目4. Scandals are useful because they focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker orreformer ever could.丑闻和演说家哪个更有用呢?我们需要在不同领域对丑闻和演说家进行比较哦19.

In any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important contributions.领域拆分,在不同领域,将新人和专家进行比较93. Unfortunately, in contemporary society, creating an appealing image has become more important than the reality or truth behind that image.不同领域,到底是表象重要,还是本质重要105./106./126.

We learn our most valuable lessons in life from struggling with our limitations rather than from enjoying our successes. (题库新增题目)N>M –我们需要比较到底从困难中还是从成功中学到的东西多重点还是解释learn 的内容是什么Academic study –从困难中能更好的知道自己哪里学的不好,进行更有针对性的学习Non-academic study—克服苦难对我们的意志品质有更好的促进作用让步:但是我们从成功也是可以学到一些东西的,不过不如从困难中学到的深刻教育类题目48./92. Educators should teach facts only after their students have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts that help explain those facts.这个可以认为是N 应该对M 做某事,也可以理解成N>M,因为涉及到了两个事物的对比领域拆分:在知识习得领域,谁重要;在能力培养领域,谁重要大家看到teach,就和看到learning 一样,教或者学什么如果论述难度大,这个也可以使用程度拆分(适度依赖其中一个)51./71. Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition.这个和眼前问题、未来问题的思路很像哦,可以程度也可以直接领域拆分在学习领域,只关注眼前的学习成绩,会导致学习过于功利在经济领域,只追求短期的政绩和经济发展,不考虑长期的影响也不行49./76. Claim: We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from those whose views contradict our own.Reason: Disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.到底从谁身上学的多拆learning – 1. 和谁能学到更多的知识、2. 和谁能学到更多的能力政治类题目5./23.117. Claim: Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive.Reason: It is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated. 这道题目有点特殊,里面只提到了major cities,但是潜在的是和其他城市进行比较N 是大城市、M 是其他城市和地区1.政府的责任是维持平衡– N 和M 一样重要(也可以不一样重要)2.文化保护–可以写大城市保护的好,也可以写小地方保护的好,解释合理就可以3.让步60./151.

Some people believe that our ever-increasing use of technology significantly reduces our opportunities for human interaction. Other people believe that technology provides us with new and better ways to communicate and connect with one another.同样的,我们不拆科技,那我们就拆分 human interaction –人们交流需要满足的不同条件,可以当做是对交流的领域拆分(共同话题,沟通的途径等)(二) 社会类2.

It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.N 是社会组织M 是我们对自己的理解41. /144.The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries.N 是人们M 是一个人的伟大我们对M 进行领域拆分–讨论不同领域的人的伟大是由哪一部分的人决定的44.

The best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things.N 是interests M 是ideas 我们把M 进行领域拆分,通过对不同领域的想法进行分析,来讨论常见事物对人们想法的影响Interests in commonplace things 是什么呢:可以理解成日常事物的有心人,把台式机变成laptop 就是一个很好的例子—关注身边的例子33./109.

Claim: The best test of an argument is its ability to convince someone with an opposing viewpoint.Reason: Only by being forced to defend an idea against the doubts and contrasting views of others does one really discover the value of that idea.N 是convince 别人/M 是argument 的价值这道题目和一个人的伟大是被谁决定的逻辑很像;一场争论或辩论的价值肯定不在于说服别人,还有很多其他的意义M1. 在社会领域:争论的意义在于唤醒人们的意识,introduce 新的思想,即使别人不一定认可M2.在政治领域,争论的意义在于彰显民主108./110. Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value unless it comes from someone who is an expert in that field.N 是expert,M 是workA ofB 中我们拆B 哦B 是主体呢(三) 历史类基本所有历史类题目都是N 对M 有影响论述和拆分的思路都是雷同的,大家可以快速掌握哦9.

GRE作文分类题库---ISSUE一教育类1. A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer." 【5】一个国家应该要求所有的学生在进入大学之前都学习由国家统一制定的课程,而不是允许由国家不同地区的学校去决定课程的安排。
国家统一和地区单独安排课程2.Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use.【9】近些年来,学科已经细化到了相当的程度以至于学者们的理念只影响小范围的人群。
除非学者们能拥有影响等大范围的人群,否则他们的理念将几乎毫无用处。
过分专业化问题3. A school or college should pay its teachers at the same rate in all disciplines, regardless of differences in salaries for related fields in the world outside of school. For example, entry-level teachers in mathematics and in the arts should receive the same pay, even if outside of school, math specialists earn a much higher salary on average than do specialists in the arts.【32】不管在校园外不同领域之间薪水的差异有多大,学校对于所有学科老师的待遇应该是一视同仁的。
