Nevertheless, the author ignores the advantages the technology brings about. In a pragmatic society which worships efficiency,we human beings live in the thrall of technology and our lives aretechnologically textured for most of our waking moments. We make our technologies and they in turn shape us.【26】To begin with, people cannot live without moderntechnologies andwaste much more time on them nowadays. To a certain extent, technologies prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.Some teachers cannot give a fluent lecture without their PPT. Papers in electronic format have made plagiarism easier than ever. Copying and pasting of paragraphs or even entire essays now can be performed with just a few mouse clicks.People can easily get what they want from the Internet without any analytical and critical thinking. For this reason, the concern that the ability of human to think will deteriorate by modern technology is somewhatreasonable.There is no denying that technology has greatly changed our lives in every aspect. Computer, robots and measuring instrumentshave provided convenience and even security in our works and daily lives. For example, remote-controlled robots were used at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant to measure radiation levels, replacing humans to work inside the damaged plant. Robots have become great job assistants in extreme environments.

Modern technology is enhancing our efficiency and force people to learn.The world of technologyiscomplicated and ever-changing.

People consciously learn the world through their own experience.In addition, it is hard to tell what will exactly happen in the future, as people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many thingsas our smartphones do todayseveral years ago. Modern technologies are created by human beings, thus the obstacles resulting from technologies will be likewise surmounted by human beings sooner or later. In this sense, human minds will not be deteriorate, but rather improved in the advance of technology. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum, the statement correctly asserts that overly depending on modern technology without any critical thinking can reduce the ability of human to think for themselves. But it is not appropriate to ignore the convenience and improvement that technology brings about to human beings. Thus problems resulting from technology will be finally solved by great talents and self-control of human beings in advance of technology.64.(人脑高于机器)I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that machines are only advanced tools which human beings invent. Nevertheless, the author ignores the superiority technology presents. We human beings live in the thrall of technology and our lives seem to be technologically textured for most of our waking moments. We make our technologies and they in turn shape us.Admittedly, with the advance of Artificial Intelligence, many machines, robots, and computers can do many things as we human do. However, as many of the mechanisms behind human intelligence are still poorly understood, computer programs can simulate the complex processes of human thought and cognition only to a limited extent. AI systems cannot model the richness and subtlety of human mind andcompletely mimic human thoughts. Human beings invent the new machines to discover and reform the society.The term “superior”can refer to the memory power, speed, flexibility and forth. However, there is no denying that computer, robots and measuring instrumentshave made better performance in our works and daily lives. For example, remote-controlled robots were used at the quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant to measure radiation levels, replacing humans to work inside the damaged plant. Those machines could achieve great performance in extreme environments. The calculation speed of supercomputers can reach 17 petaflops, which is much faster than human mind could do. For this reason, can we still say that the human mind always performs better than machines?The world of technologyiscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate the value of machines from the view whether it can surpass human mind.It is hard to tell what will exactly happen in the future. Just several years ago, people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do today. Modern technologies are created by human beings, thus the obstacles resulting from technologies will be surmounted by human beings as well. In this sense, human minds will be improved along with the advance of technology. Every coin has two sides. Diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum,101. (科技与教育)I embrace the belief that counting on technology to teach may greatly change the way of learning, and the disadvantages the technology brings about cannot be ignored as well.

Modern technology is enhancing our efficiency and force people to learn.However, precisely since people are overly depending on video, computers, and Internet, such modern technologies become fetters and shackles to hinder students’real learning andprevent them from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.Papers in electronic format have made plagiarism easier than ever.

The major city is the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, it is not the only rational approach andmerely studying its major city is far from enough. The wide rural area is another important place which represents another reality of the social existence.【2】I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that major cities should ensure its prosperity, since the major city is the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, it is impossible for the government to provide sufficientfinancial support to precipitate the fully development of major cities. 【5】I agree with the speaker’s assertion that major cities have already inherited many cultural traditions of their nations. The major city is always the center of the place where people engage in the political, economic, and culture activities. Nevertheless, the cultural traditions are not only generated and blossomed in cities. The wide rural area is another important place which represents another reality of the social existence. 【117】To begin with, the major cities are the centers of a nation's politics and culture, and they represent the highest achievement of civilization because of its moderate climate, comfortable environment and convenient transportation.In addition, the major cities, such the New York city,Parisand London, have witnessed the historical change of their country. The Statue of Liberty is an icon of freedom and independence of the United States. The Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission in the First World War. Buckingham Palace, as the official residence and principal workplace of the British monarch, has recorded a long history of British Royal Family. Those famous landmarks in major cities are the symbols of their countries which represent the core values of their people and societies. In this sense, the importance to study major cities is obvious and self-evident.However, can the New York city fully represent the whole United States? Can the lives of people who live in Beijing portray a full picture on the people’s livelihood in China? The answer is no. A country has a diverse range of peoples and cultures. Compared with major cities, rural area can preserve much more cultures and traditions. For example, Hakka people, living in the rural area near the Dong river in China, still use glyph. In addition, globalization and migration accelerate the communication among different countries, but gradually assimilate the culture and traditions, especially in major cities. In metropolis, people always drink coffees in Starbucks, eat hamburgers in KFC or Mcdonald's, go shopping in Wal-Mart, sent messages with iPhone. The distinctive characteristics of a country are fading away. Thus, merely studying major cities cannot trulyexcavate the diversity and peculiarity of their cultures and traditions.Government operations and Income distributions are the main two types of government expenditures. As governments struggle to pay for such basics as education and health care, government funding for culture is limited. Although amuseum director in Italy even once burned some of his most prized pieces in protest against the Italian government's cuts to the arts, completely depending on government funding would prevent many cultural organizations from growing and generating incomes. The money from many charity organizations instead plays an important role to ensure cultural organizations well operated. Some cultural organizations even have developed into a mature industry chain, such as Hollywood and Disney, which can earn millions of money and has become a cultural identity of a city, even a country. 【5，7】The world of cultureiscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate characteristics of a society from the view of studying its major cities. Only studying major cities, while leaving apart the other rural areas, would definitely not help in understanding a society. Every coin has two sides. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.【2，117】22. 122. 122. (研究社会要研究其英雄人物) 44. 75. 84. (媒体时代中再不可能有英雄) || 24. 29. 52. (赞扬好的，忽略坏的)|| 77.(研究现代文化要研究其年轻人)To begin with, the achievements of a nation’s rulers, artists, or scientists can represent its prosperity to a certain extent, especially in a modern society. Martin Luther King,as a civil rights activist,ended racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience.Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, successfully discovered two elements, polonium and radium. Edison invented the incandescent light. Einstein questioned Newtonian mechanics in reconciling the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field so as to establish his special theory of relativity. Their achievements have dramatically promoted the politic, economic and scientific level of their nations, which can fully represent the thrivingand prosperity of their nations.Scandals can easily confuse the public opinions so that the people cannot make the objective evaluation about the celebrities and politicians. The rapid advance of mass mediaaccelerates the wide spread of scandals. For higher audience rating, ethical scandals of celebrities and politicians always be exaggerated. For example, when it comes to Bill Clinton, the public are always interested in his sexual scandal, but not concerned about his great achievements as a president. Since people are more easily captured by bad things, the advent of scandals always makes the public divert its attentions to trifles and ignore the importance and truth.True heroes can withstand the media scrutiny. Bill Gates had been the CEO of Microsoft for thirty years, leading it into the biggest supplier of the computer software in the world. Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple for several decades, bringing Apple from near bankruptcy to profitability. They improve the living standard of humans and reshape our life irreversibly. Thus, they are heroes in the modern world.38. 78.

Nevertheless,I cannot embrace the belief that educational institutions should dissuade them not pursue the fields where they seeminglyend up with nothing. Everyone actually has different ideas about success. In anever-changing society which worships efficiency, nobody possibly make an accurate prediction about the future.To begin with, our world usually defines success in terms of money, fame, popularity, followers and so on. Some people want a golden Rolex on their wrist and a Mercedes in their driveway, but some people consider success as making a contribution to our society and science. Martin Luther Kingended racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience, successfully achieving his dreams as a civil rights activist. Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, successfully discovered two elements, polonium and radium. Those who are finally successful fearlessly persist in pursuing their dreams in the fields they are interested in. They chose their jobs not for lucrative careers, or even the job in these fields is plentiful, only based on their talents and interests. Thus, success indeed means to become a great manwho wewant to be, not what society or others push us into becoming.Moreover, success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan. People exceling in a variety of fields may have more opportunities to achieve success. Leonardo da Vinci had great talents inboth sciences and arts, two seemingly unrelated thingswhich stimulate one another for common development. His paintings have subtlelight effects and meticulousportraying of figuresowing to his study of optics, biology and mathematics. Observantas a painter, he designed a helicopter, a tank, a calculator and so forth, which are as impressive and innovative as his artistic work. For this reason, educational institutions should encourage their students to take a variety courses as many as possible.Failure, to a certain extent, can be regarded as another approach to get closer to success. Edison invented the incandescent lightwith a lot of trial and error. Infants learn how to walk and run by falling down again and again. It is part and parcel that adolescents discover their social niche, and develop self-confidence and assertiveness, only by the way of the sorts of awkward social encounters. Making mistakes in a good directionnecessarily becomes accumulating rich experience to be successful. Therefore, educational institutions should insteadput a concerted effort in encouraging, assisting and praising their students, but rather dissuading.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate goals of education from the view of the status quo we see, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness. People consciously learn the world through their own experience.Nobodycan portray a full picture on a student's potential for a work judgment, just as people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do todayseveral years ago. In this sense, parents, educators and educational institutions should not prevent students from pursuing their ostensiblynaïve dreams. Diversity perspectives could help them see the world differently and providestudents the seeds of innovation.In sum, the statement falsely asserts that educational institutions should dissuade their students from pursuing their dreams which seems unlikely to fail. There are many natural barriers inhibiting educational institution from fully understanding the students’different values of success. Failures sometimes can make positive influence on the career development. Thus it is not necessary of educational institutions to take measures to judge their future.prospect56. (科学发现都是巧合)I embrace the belief that many inventionsand substances were discovered accidentally. Nevertheless, the author ignores the ascendancyof repeated experiments and hardworking. In anever-changing society which worships efficiency,perspiration and inspiration may seem like two distinct elements coexisting in the character of genius.Success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan. Columbus discovered the new continent—America while his primary goal was to find his way to India. Rontgen accidentally discovered X-ray in the experiments of investigating the fluorescent effect from the various types of vacuum tube equipment.Newton was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree. Many anecdotes of scientists illustrate that success indeed need inspiration.Precisely since inspiration is a kind of unconscious burst of creativity, which cannot be controlledor planned in advance,those who excel in a variety of fields may have more opportunities to inspire themselves and achieve success. Leonardo da Vinci had great talents inboth sciences and arts, two seemingly unrelated thingswhich stimulate one another for common development. His paintings have subtlelight effects and meticulousportraying of figures owing to his study of optics, biology and mathematics. Observantas a painter, he designed a helicopter, a tank, a calculator and so forth, which are as impressive and innovative as his artistic work.In this sense, people necessarily acquire knowledge of various academic disciplines as they can influence each other.However, we cannot completely deny the importance of perspiration. Edison invented the incandescent lightwith a lot of trial and error. Infants learn how to walk and run by falling down again and again. It is part and parcel that adolescents discover their social niche, and develop self-confidence and assertiveness, only by the way of the sorts of awkward social encounters. Truth is discovered through trial and error.Marie Curie, who is famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity, did a lot of experiments after the accidental discovery of radioactive rays and eventuallydiscovered two elements, polonium and radium. Makinga little progresstowards a good directionnecessarily becomes a way to accumulaterich experience to be successful. Only by painstaking research and continuous learning, can a suddeninspirationbe transferred into real achievements.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimateinspiration from the view of its advantages, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness. People consciously learn the world through their own experience.Nobodycan portray a full picture on the proportions of inspiration and perspiration in the process of discovering new things.Diversity perspectives could help them see the world differently and provide students the seeds of innovation.In sum,70. 73. 112(老师、学生都该涉足更多领域)Success often comes from serendipity, which is by its very nature unpredictable and not part of any good plan.

If universities compel their teachers and students to take too many courses regardless of their own interests and energy, studentsmay not be fully educated, but rather weary of studying, which deviates from the original intention of education.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate effects of education from numbers of courses students and teachers take, exactly as uncritical adulation or profound antipathy is the expression of lack of disinterestedness.

Diversity perspectives could help universities see the matter differently and provide teachers and students the seeds of innovation.In sum,6. 14. 96. 116.(大学前该上统一课程)I partly agree with the speaker’s assertion that before students enter their college, national curriculum can help them widely understand their cultural and traditions. Nevertheless, compulsorynational curriculum may ignore the diversity of students’ talents and interests.Admittedly, the same national curriculum may fosterdominant values of the society and history. By reading the unifiedhistory books, students realize that the Statue of Liberty is an icon of freedom and independence of the United States, the Eiffel Tower was used for radio transmission in the First World War, and Buckingham Palace, as the official residence and principal workplace of the British monarch, has recorded a long history of British Royal Family. The orthodox ideas and contents can be delivered to the students, and prevent students from being heavily influenced by the preconceptionsof scandals and rumors on the newspapers and Internet.Moreover, central curriculum provides wider view than provincial curriculum as the central government is able to spend enough time and money to compile the materials, and invite more great educators and experts to participate in the process. Teachers can share many parts of the curriculum and get some help from another teacher with professional knowledge. The course before college is important in education system precisely since students learn basic knowledge of whole life including individual growth and socialization. If students do not fully consider all subjects, they tend to select their college majors according to just interests or bias.However, implementingcompulsorynational curriculum among all the students may encounter numerous obstacles. As a unified multi-ethnic nation, many ethnic groups have their own language, words and culture. National curriculum cannot fully consider the features of all the ethnic groups. In addition, more time spending on national curriculum is bound to decreasing the energy to study their ethnic language and culture. For this reason, the policy which is required all of its students to study the same national curriculum obstructsthe development of the diversity of the cultures.The world iscomplicated and ever-changing. It is not justifiable to estimate national curriculumbased on the view of its advantages or disadvantages, just as we cannot concludethat everybody has the meal merely because we have.Just as several years ago, people could not imagine that our cellphones would do so many things as our smartphones do today, it is hard to tell what will exactly happen if the same national curriculum is implemented. Every coin has two sides. Therefore, diversity perspectives could help people see the world differently and provide the seeds of innovation.In sum,12. 25.(大学教育免费)I embrace the belief that government should fund the students who cannot afford the high tuitions of their university. Nevertheless, it is unreasonable and impossible to merely depend on the government funding to completely solve the fund shortage. Some organizations andenterprises likewise need to involve themselves into the financial aid of students.1. Government should undoubtedlyattach its great importanceand efforts to educations, especially the primary education. Governments have always offered the necessary funding support to those students who are really in need.As we know, student financial aid has well played an indispensable role no matter in developed countries, or developing countries. Governments generally provide various types of funding, such as grants, loans, work-study programs, scholarships and so forth, and the education loans obtained through the federal government have lower interest rate. In this sense, government has always made great efforts to help the students who cannot afford their tuitions.2. Nevertheless, it is imprudent to a certain extent to offer a free university education to students. Firstly schools would require more government funds so as to cover their operation expenses, if their tuition revenues decreased. As the government funding is limited after all, and they need to maintain the operation of governments and income distributions, it would increase the burden on local and federal government. Secondly such funding as grants, loans, work-study programs, scholarships can effectively stimulate students to work and study harder so as to cover their own tuitions. It has an extremely positive impact on the living and growth of students. Therefore, providing a free university education is very unnecessary for this reason.3.。

新GREIssue 官方范文1Issue test 4“A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.”Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree ordisagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position youtake. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not beadvantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.Essay Response – Score 6Nations should not require that all students study the same national curriculum. If every child were presented with the same material, it wouldassume that all children learn the same and that all teachers are capable of teaching the same material in the same way. In addition to neglecting differences in learning and teaching styles, it would also stifle creativityandcreate a generation of drones. The uniformity would also lend itself to governmental meddling in curriculum that could result in the destruction ofdemocracy. If every teacher is forced to teach a certain text, the governmentneed only change that text to misinform an entire generation. Lastly, a standardized curriculum would also adversely affect students who come from lowerincome families or families who have little education as they might not have asmany resources for learning outside of school.Children all learn in very different ways. If the curriculum is standardized completely, it leaves little room for exploratory learning. Onechild may learn how to spell from reading, another may learn from phonics. Ifthe curriculum is standardized, suppose one aspect is dropped, that may excludecertain children from learning adequately. This is not to say of course that there shouldn’t be requirements, but they should be general requirements, notsomething so specific as a curriculum. Especially at the high school level thiswould be detrimental to the variety of subjects that a student can learn. Standards and the “No Child Left Behind” act in America are already forcing thereduction in programs such as art and music that have a less defineable curriculum. Additionally, education systems are rarely funded well enough toachieve the general goal of educating children. If a national curriculum wereimplemented, would it come with a significant increase in financial support?History suggests that it would not.Teachers also have different methods of teaching; if say, the English curriculum of all high schools were standardized, then a book that one teacherteaches excellently and therefore inspires students to read more and learn ontheir own might be eliminated, and although that teacher ought to be capableenough to teach the curriculum books, his or her students will still be missingout on what might have been a great learning experience. It also limits how muchof the teacher’s unique knowledge he or she can bring to the classroom. It isthese inspirational books or experiences that allow teachers to reach students;if they are put in a mold, the quality of teaching and learning will go down.Learning should be enjoyable and children and adolescents should be taughtnot only the curriculum in school, but that the body of knowledge that exists inthe world today is enormous and that you can learn your whole life. Having anational curriculum implies that there is a set group of things worth learningfor every person. Maybe this is true, but for students, it sets up a world wherethere is a finite amount of knowledge to be acquired for the purpose of regurgitating it on a test. Teaching a standard curriculum doesn’t encourageinquiries; it doesn’t make students ask questions like, “Why?” and“How?”School’s real purpose is teaching people to learn, not just teaching them a setgroup of facts. By teaching them to learn, students can continue doing so, theycan extend skills from one area of knowledge to another. This type of learningfosters creativity that can be used not only in math or science or English, butin art or music or creative writing. Teaching a brain to go beyond being a filecabinet for facts is the best way to teach creativity. Creativity is too often assumed to be something only for the arts. It is creativity that results in innovation and it is innovation that has resulted in the greatest achievementsof humanity in the sciences and humanities alike.Finally, the education system of a country is designed to put all childrenon a level playing field. Though this is only an ideal, it is a noble ideal. If the school curriculum becomes standardized, children who have highly educatedparents, or more money to buy books outside of school, or more resourcesfortutors or private schools will immediately gain a foothold. Poorer students fromuneducated families in the current American school system are already at adisadvantage, but at least now there is hope through variety that something canreach out to them and inspire them. There is hope that they can find a classthat interests them. If the curriculum becomes rigid and standardized, it is these disadvantaged students who fall through the cracks.There are many reasons not to standardize the curriculum. The uniqueness ofstudents and teachers is the most obvious, but students from less educated backgrounds will suffer the most. The creativity of a nation as a whole wouldfall with a standardized curriculum. Most importantly though is the question ofwho and what? Who chooses the curriculum? What is important enough that it mustbe taught? These questions assume that there is some infallible committee thatcan foresee all and know what knowledge will be important in everyone’s lives.There is no person, no group, no comittee capable of deciding what knowledge isnecessary. Curriculum should have standards, not be standardized and educationshould be as much about knowledge as it about learning to learn.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 6This outstanding response develops an articulate and insightful positionrejecting the prompt’s recommendation of a national curriculum. The writerunderstands a national curriculum to mean both the material that is taught andthe way it is taught. The essay offers a wide-ranging discussion of the practical and theoretical implications of a national curriculum for students,for teachers, and for a nation. For example, the response argues that prescribing particular content and teaching methods might make it more difficultfor teachers to tailor lessons to students with different learning styles and might also force effective teachers to adopt teaching methods that are lesseffective for them and their students. Although the essay clearly rejects therecommendation for a national curriculum, the writer does concede that there isa need for educational standards that are flexible enough to allow for individual, socioeconomic, and regional differences.The response maintains a well-focused, wellorganized discussion, developingeach point fully and connecting ideas logically without relying on obvioustransitional phrases. The writing is fluent, despite minor errors in grammar andmechanics; sentence structure is varied and diction is effective. In sum, thisresponse meets all of the criteria for a score of 6.新GREIssue 官方范文2Essay Response – Score 5While it may be to the advantage of a nation that all its students learnthe same basic information, this can be accomplished without going to the lengths of having a national curriculum. By requiring that all students know acertain amount in basic areas of knowledge without specifying the details, anation can achieve the same benefits of a national curriculum without undulydenying the freedom of teachers to teach as they see fit. A system of simplenational standards is good enough. To go further and create a full-fledged national curriculum would gain nothing and impair the ability of teachers.It is important to ensure that all students learn the fundamentals of different subject areas. In order to graduate from high school, for example, allstudents should have a good understanding of algebra, of basic concepts inscience and history, and an ability to read critically. These are skills that will benefit people in all kinds of different careers. Even if you never manipulate an equation after graduating from high school, you will have a farbetter understanding of the world around you if you know simple facts of mathand science. Fields such as English and history are even more important, as theyare absolutely necessary to maintain an informed citizenry capable ofmakingimportant decisions that all citizens of a democracy are called upon to make. Inorder to achieve this, it is necessary to have national standards of education.Most teachers are very capable of imparting knowledge on students, and mostschool boards are similarly well-intentioned. Nevertheless, without nationalstandards, some students are bound to fall through the cracks, and some schoolboards, under pressure from groups of parents, may eliminate certain subjectmatter from schools, as has happened recently with the teaching of evolution inconservative areas of the United States. In order to ensure that all students learn all that they need to know as functioning adults, some kind of nationalstandards should be in place.These national standards, however, need not go so far as to constitute asingle national curriculum. No one knows a class of students better thanitsteachers, and no one else can shape a curriculum for their maximum benefit. Anational curriculum would necessarily mean a one-size-fits-all approach, andwhat is appropriate in one classroom may not be in another. Partly this is aresult of the intellectual levels of the students in question: some may be ableto learn far more about a particular subject than others. But it is also a question of student goals. The desire for specialization begins before college.A student who wants to become an auto mechanic should be able to take auto shopclasses, classes which would not be of interest to a future lawyer or scientist.This notion may sound unacceptably elitist in today’s climate in which a collegeeducation has become almost an automatic goal of education, but it does not needto be this way. Students with limited interest in higher education should beable to opt out, to follow another curriculum that is more likely to lead to happiness later in life. As a society, we should not discourage them, but ratherensure that there are enough highpaying jobs available for skilled laborers withhigh school diplomas.Everyone needs certain basic knowledge in order to function in societytoday. To this extent, we need national standards of instruction for students.But we do not need to cram every student into the same classes and force them tolearn what we think is best for them.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 5This strong response presents a generally thoughtful, well-developed analysis of the issue and conveys meaning clearly. The introductory paragraphclearly disagrees with the prompt’s recommendation: “By requiring that allstudents know a certain amount in basic areas of knowledge without specifyingthe details, a nation can achieve the same benefits of a nationalcurriculumwithout unduly denying the freedom of teachers to teach as they see fit.” Thewriter supports this position by first arguing for the necessity of national standards, citing the individual’s need for fundamental knowledge in core areas,and by asserting that such knowledge makes for an informed, thoughtful citizenry. The discussion furthers this argument by examining some of the disadvantages of a rigid national curriculum, namely the inability of a nationalcurriculum to accommodate students’individual needs and interests.The response develops its position with strong reasons and examples, thoughthese reasons and examples are not always fully developed. For example, theresponse asserts that kn owledge of English and history is “absolutely necessaryto maintain an informed citizenry” and that “in order to achieve this, it is necessary to have national standards of education,” but it never really explainshow or why national standards would result in better-informed citizens thanregional standards or a national curriculum would.The response maintains a clear focus and organization with clear and logical transitions. Although the response conveys ideas clearly and demonstrates facility with standard written English, it lacks the precision ofexpression necessary for the highest score. In sum, this response demonstratesall of the characteristics required to earn a score of 5.新GREIssue 官方范文3Essay Response – Score 4As an educator, this topic is quite controversial to me. By having one setcurriculum in the entire nation, students would be taught the same material.Students from the rural Texas will study the same thing as students in Brooklyn,NY and suburban Chicago. If they move from state to state, they will havecovered the same material and they would be able to participate in class rightaway. You could also say that all students should have learned the same material, for which they should all be equal and should have the sameopportunities. But it is unrealistic. I disagree with a national curriculum because all students are not the same, they have different interests, and thiscurriculum would not permit teachers to explore and teach to students interests.First, a curriculum that becomes nation wide is supposed to teach all students the same material and perhaps the same way. All seventh graders willhave to solve algebraic equations and then they will all be the same. But students are not the same. All children develop at different rates, they havedifferent abilities. One cannot expect a child from Uptown Manhattan to be doingthe same thing as the kids in southern Illinois. The conditions are different,they have different funding and quality of teachers. Parents involvement intheir childrens education is different and that would affect what the studentslearn.Besides having different abilities, the students have different interestsor necesities. In one part of the nation it may be important to learn trigonometry and calculus because it is a high tech area. They use many computers and there might be a big market for careers in that field, but in another part of the country it might be more important to learn about farmingand erosion. That the interest would be different. Teachers also need the freedom to teach what the students are interested in. If the kids want to knowabout the Chicano Movement, they should have the opportunity to learn about it,instead of learning about African American Civil Rights Movement. City kids areinterested in different things than kids rural areas, as well as kids from the East Coast and the West Coast.For these reasons I would have to disagree with a national curriculum.Children are different and they should have the right to learn about things theyare interested in. Teachers should have the freedom to teach what he/she thinksis more important or interesting to their students. Teachers should teach theirstudents, not a curriculum.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 4This response presents a competent analysis of the issue and conveys meaning with acceptable clarity. The writer begins by acknowledging some of theperceived strengths of a national curriculum but then disagrees with the prompt,arguing that “all students are not the same, they have different interests, andthis curriculum would not permit teachers to explore and teach to students interests.” The writer supports this position by suggesting tha t a standardizedapproach to education will fail to address the different types of students whomake up a nation’s youth; for instance, students in two different geographicalareas may be subject to different socioeconomic conditions as well as differentcultural attitudes toward the role of education. The writer continues exploringthe role of geography by pointing out that different areas naturally emphasizedifferent aspects of curriculum based upon regional concerns and that a nationalcurriculum would unfairly homogenize education.The response is adequately focused and organized, and although it containssome errors, it demonstrates sufficient control of language in order to expressits ideas.新GREIssue 官方范文4Essay Response – Score 3Until now, many countries have mandatory course for their students untilthey enter the college. It is beneficial to students to have same amout knowledge in their schools. Also, I agree this recommendation because thesereasons.Even if students have extraordinary abilities to study, it just will be some specific parts of academic fields. Generally, most ordiany students haveabilities to follow their study through their courses. For all students, if people want to be had same knowledge and same academic background, the nationalcurriculum is essential. Of course, some people don’t want to follow their mandatoyr courses so that someone takes privite classes in their house or takesa different class in other substituted schools. However, if students want to enter the college, they have to take a national test, for example, SAT. Like this test will require generalized knowledge until in the high school. For preparing this test, every students have to study requisited courses of SAT.Even though some students take privite courses, they also have to prepare theseclasses. Because of this, national curriculum is needed. If they do not need totake a test to enter the college, they won’t prepare these classes. However,until now, every college wants to accept to be experimented students so thatthey need standarized test for everybody. Recently, even though national curriculum is becoming a social issue to criticize its efficency, if governmentsdon’t change their policy about thier educational programs, it has to exist inthe education.However, the same national curriculum has some troubles. If one studentdoesn’t follow the same curriculum, this student will be fale to enter the college. The mandatory curriculum does not allow individual characteristics,some students who have surprisingly abilities for other fields, for example,playing chess, singing the classic song, and operating computer systems, willnot enter the college. So, we should consider this problem in the same nationalcurriculum.Nevertheless, the system of the education will not change to allow otherpossibilities, a nation has to require all of their students to study the same courses, until the college. It is related to educational systems so that it is difficult to decide whatever is right. However, while the current educaitonalsystem exist a nation, the country should require the same curriculum to itsstudents.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 3This response demonstrates some competence in analyzing the issue and inconveying meaning, but it is obviously flawed. The writer adopts a position ofagreement with the prompt, arguing that since higher education requires studentsto pass standardized exams, a curriculum which emphasized the same education forall students would be more conducive to passing college entrance exams and testssuch as the SAT. In the course of this argument, the writer does consider thatthe implementation of a national curriculum would remove the opportunity forstudents to explore areas of study outside their core coursework but argues thatthis loss can be made up during the students’university coursework.The response presents a clear position on the issue and develops that position with relevant reasons and examples, but it fails to convey ideas withacceptable clarity; it has problems in language and sentence structure that result in a lack of clarity. These frequent minor errors and occasionalmajorerrors in grammar, usage, and mechanics preclude the response from receiving anupper-half score. In order to merit a score of 4, this response would need todemonstrate better control of the conventions of standard written English.新GREIssue 官方范文5Essay Response – Score 2A nation should teach all it’s students the same national curriculum untilthey enter college so that can prepare for college. Allowing everyone to learnthe same curriculum will teach our society how to communicate with one another.This is a nation of equal opportunity and should be treated and taught equally.I believec that this would allows young individuals to get an better understanting of all different kinds of religions, culture,and society. All school teach the same history,but some may forcus more on what they feel isimportant then depending on where you are from.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 2After agreeing with the prompt’s recommendation, this brief essay presentsa series of unsupported claims about education and culture. The discussion failsto develop any of these claims with relevant reasons and/or examples or to makelogical connections between them; as a result, the discussion is disorganizedand unfocused. The final sentence states that all schools “teach the same history,but some may forcus more on what they feel is important then dependingon where you are from.” As a result of the response’s frequent errors in language and sentence structure, it isn’t at all clear whether this statement isintended as an observation of current practices or a recommendation that historycurricula should be flexible enough to account for regional interests.Though this response does contain frequent errors and lacks sentencevariety, these flaws serve more to impede clarity than to interfere significantly with meaning. The essay is scored a 2 primarily because it is “seriously limited in addressing the specific task directions and inpresentingor developing a position on the issue.”Essay Response – Score 1No i disagree with recommendation becaus it is not compulsary to student tostudy same national curriculum until they enter college.Each and every student is own idea and family dream so,could not say likethat student study the same nation curriculum until they enter college.we createa enviroment to all student are go and come in different country so we shareover idea and comfortably leave with each other.It is very necessary to colobrate with each other we develope owr nationand different technology.

GRE考试写作范文IssueThere is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observers expectations or desires.The speaker claims that all observation is subjective--colored by desire and expectation. While it would be tempting to concede that we all see things differently, careful scrutiny of the speakers claim reveals that it confuses observation with interpretation. In fact, in the end the speakers claim relies entirely on the further claim that there is no such thing as truth and that we cannot truly know anything. While this notion might appeal to certain existentialists and epistemologists, it runs against the grain of all scientific discovery and knowledge gained over the last 500 years.It would be tempting to afford the speakers claim greater merit than it deserves. After all, our everyday experience as humans informs us that we often disagree about what we observe around us. Weve all uttered and heard uttered many times the phase Thats not the way I see it! Indeed, everyday observations--for example, about whether a footballplayer was out of bounds, or about which car involved in an accident ran the red light--vary depending not only on ones spatial perspective but also on ones expectations or desires. If Im rooting for one football team, or if the player is well-known for his ability to make great plays while barely staying in bounds, my desires or expectations might influence what I think I observe. Or if I am driving one of the cars in the accident, or if one car is a souped-up sports car, then my desires or expectations will in all likelihood color my perception of the accidents events.However, these sorts of subjective observations are actually subjective interpretations of what we observe. Visitors to an art museum might disagree about the beauty of a particular work, or even about which color predominates in that work. In a court trial several jurors might view the same videotape evidence many times, yet some jurors might observe an incident of police brutality, will others observe the appropriate use of force to restrain a dangerous individual. Thus when it comes to making judgments about what we observe and about remembering what we observe, each persons individual perspective, values, and even emotions help form these judgments and recollections. It is crucial to distinguish between interpretations such as these and observation, which is nothing more than a sensory experience. Given the same spatial perspective and sensory acuity and awareness, it seems to me that our observations would all be essentially in accord--that is,observation can be objective.Lending credence to my position is Francis Bacons scientific method, according to which we can know only that which we observe, and thus all truth must be based on empirical observation. This profoundly important principle serves to expose and strip away all subjective interpretation of observation, thereby revealing objective scientific truths. For example, up until Bacons time the Earth was observed to lie at the center of the Universe, in accordance with the prevailing religious notion that man (humankind) was the center of Gods creation. Applying Bacons scientific method Galileo exposed the biased nature of this claim. Similarly, before Einstein time and space were assumed to be linear, in accordance with our observation. Einsteins mathematical formulas suggested otherwise, and his theories have been proven empirically to be true. Thus it was our subjective interpretation of time and space that led to our misguided notions about them. Einstein, like historys other most influential scientists, simply refused to accept conventional interpretations of what we all observe.In sum, the speaker confuses observation with interpretation and recollection. It is how we make sense of what we observe, not observation itself, that is colored by our perspective, expectations, and desires. The gifted individuals who can set aside their subjectivity and delve deeper into empirical evidence, employing Bacons scientificmethod, are the ones who reveal that observation not only can be objective but must be objective if we are to embrace the more fundamental notion that knowledge and truth exist.GRE考试写作范文IssueBoth parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators.Should parents and communities participate in local education because education is too important to leave to professional educators, as the speaker asserts? It might be tempting to agree with the speaker, based on a parents legal authority over, familiarity with, and interest in his or her own children. However, a far more compelling argument can be made that, except for major decisions such as choice of school, a childs education is best left to professional educators.Communities of parents concerned about their childrens education rely on three arguments for active parental and community participation in that process. The first argument, and the one expressed most often and vociferously, is that parents hold the ultimately legal authority to make key decisions about what and how their own children learn including choice of curriculum and text books, pace and schedule for learning, and the extent to which their child should learn alongside other children. The second argument is that only a parent can truly know theunique needs of a child including what educational choices are best suited for the child. The third argument is that parents are more motivated--by pride and ego--than any other person to take whatever measures are needed to ensure their children receive the best possible education.Careful examination of these three arguments, however, reveals that they are specious at best. As for the first one, were we to allow parents the right to make all major decisions regarding the education of their children, many children would go with little or no education. In a perfect world parents would always make their childrens education one of their highest priorities. Yet, in fact many parents do not. As for the second argument, parents are not necessarily best equipped to know what is best for their child when it comes to education. Although most parents might think they are sufficiently expert by virtue of having gone through formal education themselves, parents lack the specialized training to appreciate what pedagogical methods are most effective, what constitutes a balanced education, how developmental psychology affects a childs capacity for learning at different levels and at different stages of childhood. Professional educators, by virtue of their specialized training in these areas, are far better able to ensure that a child receives a balanced, properly paced education.There are two additional compelling arguments against thespeakers contention. First, parents are too subjective to always know what is truly best for their children. For example, many parents try to overcome their own shortcomings and failed self-expectations vicariously through their childrens accomplishments. Most of us have known parents who push their child to excel in certain areas--to the emotional and psychological detriment of the child. Secondly, if too many parties become involved in making decisions about day-to-day instruction, the end result might be infighting, legal battles, boycotts, and other protests, all of which impede the educational process; and the ultimate victims are the children themselves. Finally, in many jurisdictions parents now have the option of schooling their children at home, as long as certain state requirements are met. In my observation, home schooling allows parents who prefer it great control over a childs education, while allowing the professional educators to discharge their responsibilities as effectively as possible--unfettered by gadfly parents who constantly interfere and intervene.In sum, while parents might seem better able and better motivated to make key decisions about their childs education, in many cases they are not. With the possible exceptions of responsible home-schoolers, a childs intellectual, social, and psychological development is at risk when communities of parents dominate the decision-making process involving education.GRE考试写作范文IssueStudents should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.The speaker contends that students should be skeptical in their studies, and should not accept passively whatever they are taught. In my view, although undue skepticism might be counterproductive for a young childs education, I strongly agree with the speaker otherwise. If we were all to accept on blind faith all that we are taught, our society would never progress or evolve.Skepticism is perhaps most important in the physical sciences. Passive acceptance of prevailing principles quells innovation, invention, and discovery. In fact, the very notion of scientific progress is predicated on rigorous scientific inquiry--in other words, skepticism. And history is replete with examples of students of science who challenged what they had been taught, thereby paving the way for scientific progress. For example, in challenging the notion that the Earth was in a fixed position at the center of the universe, Copernicus paved the way for the corroborating observations of Galileo a century later, and ultimately for Newtons principles of gravity upon which all modern science is based. The staggering cumulative impact of Copernicus rejection of what he had been taught is proof enough of the value of skepticism.The value of skepticism is not limited to the physical sciences, of course. In the fields of sociology and political science, students must think critically about the assumptions underlying the status quo; otherwise, oppression, tyranny and prejudice go unchecked. Similarly, while students of the law must learn to appreciate timeless legal doctrines and principles, they must continually question the fairness and relevance of current laws. Otherwise, our laws would not evolve to reflect changing societal values and to address new legal issues arising from our ever-evolving technologies.Even in the arts, students must challenge established styles and forms rather than learn to imitate them; otherwise, no genuinely new art would ever emerge. Bee-bop musicians such as Charlie Parker demonstrated through their wildly innovative harmonies and melodies their skepticism about established rules for harmony and melody. In the area of dance Ballanchine showed by way of his improvisational techniques his skepticism about established rules for choreography. And Germanys Bauhaus School of Architecture, to which modern architecture owes its existence, was rooted in skepticism about the proper objective, and resulting design, of public buildings.Admittedly, undue skepticism might be counterproductive in educating young children. I am not an expert in developmental psychology; yet observation and common sense informs me thatyoungsters must first develop a foundation of experiential knowledge before they can begin to think critically about what they are learning. Even so, in my view no student, no matter how young, should be discouraged from asking Why? and Why not?To sum up, skepticism is the very stuff that progress is made of, whether it be in science, sociology, politics, the law, or the arts. Therefore, skepticism should be encouraged at all but the most basic levels of education.GRE考试写作范文IssueThe only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies.Should the only responsibility of a business executive be to maximize business profits, within the bounds of the law? In several respects this position has considerable merit; yet it ignores certain compelling arguments for imposing on businesses additional obligations to the society in which they operate.On the one hand are two convincing arguments that profit maximization within the bounds of the law should be a business executives sole responsibility. First, imposing on businesses additional duties to the society in which they operate can, paradoxically, harm that society. Compliance with higher ethical standards than the lawrequires--m such areas as environmental impact and workplace conditions--adds to business expenses and lowers immediate profits. In turn, lower profits can prevent the socially conscious business from creating more jobs, and from keeping its prices low and the quality of its products and services high. Thus if businesses go further than their legal duties in serving their communities the end result might be a net disservice to those communities.Secondly, by affirming that profit maximization within legal bounds is the most ethical behavior possible for business, we encourage private enterprise, and more individuals enter the marketplace in the quest of profits. The inevitable result of increased competition is lower prices and better products, both of which serve the interests of consumers. Moreover, since maximizing profits enhances the wealth of a companys stakeholders, broad participation in private enterprise raises the wealth of a nation, expands its economy, and raises its overall standard of living and quality of life.On the other hand are three compelling arguments for holding business executives to certain responsibilities m addition to profit maximization and to compliance with the letter of the law. First, a growing percentage of businesses are related to technology, and haws often lag behind advances in technology. As a result, new technology-based products and services might pose potential harm toconsumers even though they conform to current laws. For example, Internet commerce is still largely unregulated because our lawmakers are slow to react to the paradigm shift from brick-and-mortar commerce to e-commerce. As a result, unethical marketing practices, privacy invasion, and violations of intellectual-property rights are going unchecked for lack of regulations that would clearly prohibit them.Secondly, since a nations laws do not extend beyond its borders, compliance with those laws does not prevent a business from doing harm elsewhere. Consider, for example, the trend among U.S. businesses in exploiting workers in countries where labor laws are virtually non-existent in order to avoid the costs of complying with U.S. labor laws.Thirdly, a philosophical argument can be made that every business enters into an implied social contract with the community that permits it to do business, and that this social contract, although not legally enforceable, places a moral duty on the business to refrain from acting in ways that will harm that community.In sum, I agree with the statement insofar as in seeking to maximize profits a business serves not only itself but also its employees, customers, and the overall economy. Yet todays rapidly changing business environment and increasing globalization call for certain affirmative obligations beyond the pursuit of profit and mere compliance with enforceable rules and regulations. Moreover, in the final analysis anybusiness is indebted to the society in which it operates for its very existence, and thus has a moral duty, regardless of any legal obligations, to pay that debt.GRE考试写作范文Issue。

gre写作6分issue范文Title: "The Value of Dissent in a Progressive Society"In any society that aims to progress and thrive, dissent is not just a right but an absolute necessity. It is like the grit in an oyster that has the potential to produce a pearl.Some might argue that dissent creates chaos and division. They look ata group of protesters chanting on the street and see only disorder. However, this view is as short sighted as a mole that can't see beyond its little hole. Dissent is often the first sign that there is something wrong in the system. For example, in the early days of the civil rights movement in the United States, the voices of those who dissented against segregation were initially seen as troublemakers. But in reality, they were the ones who had the courage to point out the blatant injustice of a society that treated people differently based on the color of their skin.Dissent also serves as a catalyst for innovation. Think about it. If everyone in a company or a community simply nodded their heads and agreed with every idea put forward, we would be stuck in a rut. It's the person who says, "Hey, that's a dumb idea. Why don't we try this instead?" whooften pushes the boundaries. For instance, in the world of technology,Steve Jobs was known for his ability to dissent from the common thinking of the time. When most computer companies were focused on making big, bulky machines for businesses, Jobs had the vision to think that personal computers could be sleek, user friendly, and designed for the averageperson at home. His dissent from the established norms led to the creationof Apple products that have revolutionized the way we communicate, work,and live.Moreover, dissent is an essential part of a democratic society. A democracy is not a dictatorship where one voice rules all. It is a chorus of voices, and dissent ensures that all voices are heard, not just the loudest or the most popular. When citizens are allowed to dissent, they are participating in the shaping of their own society. They are saying, "We are part of this, and we have a say in how it runs." It's like a big, messy family dinner where everyone has the right to speak their mind, even if it means disagreeing with the family patriarch or matriarch.However, dissent should not be confused with mindless opposition. There is a difference between having a well thought out, reasoned dissent andjust being contrarian for the sake of it. The former is like a surgeon's scalpel, precise and aimed at cutting out the diseased parts of society. The latter is like a wild, flailing sword that can cause more harm than good.In conclusion, a society that values progress should embrace dissent with open arms. It should encourage its citizens to speak up when they see something wrong, to question the status quo, and to offer alternative solutions. Because in the end, it is through the healthy exchange of different opinions, even those that are uncomfortable and unpopular, that a society can truly move forward and reach new heights. It's like a ship sailing on the ocean. Dissent is the wind that can either capsize the ship if it's uncontrolled, but if harnessed correctly, it can take the ship to uncharted and wonderful destinations.。

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 1As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.Essay Response — Score 6The statement linking technology negatively with free thinking plays on recent human experience over the past century. Surely there has been no time in history where the lived lives of people have changed more dramatically. A quick reflection on a typical day reveals how technology has revolutionized the world. Most people commute to work in an automobile that runs on an internal combustion engine. During the workday, chancesare high that the employee will interact with a computer that processes information on silicon bridges that are .09 microns wide. Upon leaving home, family members will be reached through wireless networks that utilize satellites orbiting the earth. Each of these common occurrences could have been inconceivable at the turn of the 19th century.The statement attempts to bridge these dramatic changes to a reduction in the ability for humans to think for themselves. The assumption is that an increased reliance on technology negates the need for people to think creatively to solve previous quandaries. Looking back at the introduction, one could argue that without a car, computer, or mobile phone, the hypothetical worker would need to find alternate methods of transport, information processing and communication. Technology short circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.However, this reliance on technology does not necessarily preclude the creativity that marks the human species. The prior examples reveal that technology allows for convenience. The car, computer and phone all release additional time for people to live more efficiently. This efficiency does not preclude the need for humans to think for themselves. In fact, technologyfrees humanity to not only tackle new problems, but may itself create new issues that did not exist without technology. For example, the proliferation of automobiles has introduced a need for fuel conservation on a global scale. With increasing energy demands from emerging markets, global warming becomes a concern inconceivable to the horse-and-buggy generation. Likewise dependence on oil has created nation-states that are not dependent on taxation, allowing ruling parties to oppress minority groups such as women. Solutions to these complex problems require the unfettered imaginations of maverick scientists and politicians.In contrast to the statement, we can even see how technology frees the human imagination. Consider how the digital revolution and the advent of the internet has allowed for an unprecedented exchange of ideas. WebMD, a popular internet portal for medical information, permits patients to self research symptoms for a more informed doctor visit. This exercise opens pathways of thinking that were previously closed off to the medical layman. With increased interdisciplinary interactions, inspiration can arrive from the most surprising corners. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the architects of the UN Millenium Development Goals, based his ideas on emergency caretriage techniques. The unlikely marriage of economics and medicine has healed tense, hyperinflation environments from South America to Eastern Europe.This last example provides the most hope in how technology actually provides hope to the future of humanity. By increasing our reliance on technology, impossible goals can now be achieved. Consider how the late 20th century witnessed the complete elimination of smallpox. This disease had ravaged the human race since prehistorical days, and yet with the technology of vaccines, free thinking humans dared to imagine a world free of smallpox. Using technology, battle plans were drawn out, and smallpox was systematically targeted and eradicated.Technology will always mark the human experience, from the discovery of fire to the implementation of nanotechnology. Given the history of the human race, there will be no limit to the number of problems, both new and old, for us to tackle. There is no need to retreat to a Luddite attitude to new things, but rather embrace a hopeful posture to the possibilities that technology provides for new avenues of human imagination.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 6The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightfulposition on the issue and follows the specific instructions by presenting reasons to support that position. The essay cogently argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides additional time for people to live more efficiently. In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways. Examples are persuasive and fully developed; reasoning is logically sound and well supported.Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs (However or In contrast to the statement) and within paragraphs. Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics), with only minor errors appearing. Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2Essay Response — Score 5Surely many of us have expressed the following sentiment, or some variation on it, during our daily commutes to work: People are getting so stupid these days! Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe that technology has isolated and infantilized us, essentally transforming us into dependent, conformist morons best equipped to sideswip one another in our SUVs.Furthermore, hanging around with the younger, pre-commute generation, whom tech-savviness seems to have rendered lethal, is even less reassuring. With Teen People style trends shooting through the air from tiger-striped PDA to zebra-striped PDA, and with the latest starlet gossip zipping from juicy Blackberry to teeny, turbo-charged cell phone, technology seems to support young peoples worst tendencies to follow the crowd. Indeed, they have seemingly evolved into intergalactic conformity police. After all, todays tech-aided teens are, courtesy of authentic, hands-on video games, literally trained to kill; courtesy of chat and instant text messaging, they have their own language; they even have tiny cameras to efficientlyphotodocument your fashion blunders! Is this adolescence, or paparazzi terrorist training camp?With all this evidence, its easy to believe that tech trends and the incorporation of technological wizardry into our everyday lives have served mostly to enforce conformity, promote dependence, heighten comsumerism and materialism, and generally create a culture that values self-absorption and personal entitlement over cooperation and collaboration. However, I argue that we are merely in the inchoate stages of learning to live with technology while still loving one another. After all, even given the examples provided earlier in this essay, it seems clear that technology hasnt impaired our thinking and problem-solving capacities. Certainly it has incapacitated our behavior and manners; certainly our values have taken a severe blow. However, we are inarguably more efficient in our badness these days. Were effective worker bees of ineffectiveness!If T\technology has so increased our senses of self-efficacy that we can become veritable agents of the awful, virtual CEOs of selfishness, certainly it can be beneficial. Harnessed correctly, technology can improve our ability to think and act for ourselves. The first challenge is to figureout how to provide technology users with some direly-needed direction.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 5The language of this essay clearly illustrates both its strengths and weaknesses. The flowery and sometimes uncannily keen descriptions are often used to powerful effect, but at other times this descriptive language results in errors in syntax. See, for example, the problems of parallelism in the second-to-last sentence of paragraph 2 (After all, todays tech-aided teens ...).There is consistent evidence of facility with syntax and complex vocabulary (Surrounded as we are by striding and strident automatons with cell phones glued to their ears, PDAs gripped in their palms, and omniscient, omnipresent CNN gleaming in their eyeballs, its tempting to believe...). However, such lucid prose is often countered by an over-reliance on abstractions and tangential reasoning. For example, what does the fact that video games literally train [teens] to kill have to do with the use or deterioration of thinking abilities?Because this essay takes a complex approach to the issue (arguing, in effect, that technology neither enhances norreduces our ability to think for ourselves, but can do one or the other, depending on the user) and because the author makes use of appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety, a score of 5 is appropriate.新GREIssue 官方范文整理3Essay Response — Score 4In all actuality, I think it is more probable that our bodies will surely deteriorate long before our minds do in any significant amount. Who cant say that technology has made us lazier, but thats the key word, lazy, not stupid. The ever increasing amount of technology that we incorporate into our daily lives makes people think and learn every day, possibly more than ever before. Our abilities to think, learn, philosophize, etc. may even reach limits never dreamed of before by average people. Using technology to solve problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race.If you think about it, using technology to solve more complicating problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning, opening up whole new worlds for many people. Many of these people are glad for the chance to expand their horizons by learning more, going to new places, and trying new things. If it wasnt for the invention of new technologicaldevices, I wouldnt be sitting at this computer trying to philosophize about technology. It would be extremely hard for children in much poorer countries to learn and think for themselves with out the invention of the internet. Think what an impact the printing press, a technologically superior mackine at the time, had on the ability of the human race to learn and think.Right now we are seeing a golden age of technology, using it all the time during our every day lives. When we get up theres instant coffee and the microwave and all these great things that help us get ready for our day. But we arent allowing our minds to deteriorate by using them, we are only making things easier for ourselves and saving time for other important things in our days. Going off to school or work in our cars instead of a horse and buggy. Think of the brain power and genius that was used to come up with that single invention that has changed the way we move across this globe.Using technology to solve our continually more complicated problems as a human race is definately a good thing. Our ability to think for ourselves isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow, moving on to higher though functions and more ingenious ideas. The ability to use what technology we have is an exampleReader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 4This essay meets all the criteria of a level-4 essay. The writer develops a clear position (Using technology to solve our problems will continue to help us realize our potential as a human race). The position is then developed with relevant reasons (using technology to solve more complicat[ed] problems gives humans a chance to expand their thinking and learning and we are seeing a golden age of technology).Point 1, using technology, is supported with the simple but relevant notion that technology allows us access to information and abilities to which we would not normally have access. Similarly, point 2, the golden age, is supported by the basic description of our technologically saturated social condition. Though the overall development and organization of the essay does suffer from an occasional misdirection (see paragraph 3s abrupt progression from coffee pots to the benefits of technology to cars), the essay as a whole flows smoothly and logically from one idea to the next.It is useful to compare this essay to the level-3 essay presented next. Though both essays entail some surface-level discussion and often fail to probe deeply into the issue, this writer does take the analysis a step further. In paragraph 2,the distinction between this essay and the next one (the level-3 response) can most clearly be seen. To support the notion that advances in technology actually help increase thinking ability, the writer draws a clever parallel between the promise of modern, sophisticated technology (computer) and the actual impact of equally promising and pervasive technologies of the past (printing press).Like the analysis, the language in this essay clearly meets the requirements for a score of 4. The writer displays sufficient control of language and the conventions of standard written English. The preponderance of mistakes are of a cosmetic nature (trying to solve more complicating problems.) There is a sentence fragment (Going off ...) along with a comma splice (Our ability ... isnt deteriorating, its continuing to grow ...) in paragraph 3. However, these errors are minor and do not interfere with the clarity of the ideas being presented.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4Essay Response — Score 3There is no current proof that advancing technology will deteriorate the ability of humans to think. On the contrary, advancements in technology had advanced our vast knowledge in many fields, opening opportunities for further understandingand achievement. For example, the problem of dibilitating illnesses and diseases such as alzheimers disease is slowing being solved by the technological advancements in stem cell research. The future ability of growing new brain cells and the possibility to reverse the onset of alzheimers is now becoming a reality. This shows our initiative as humans to better our health demonstrates greater ability of humans to think.One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds is the use of internet and cell phones. In the past humans had to seek out information in many different enviroments and aspects of life. Now humans can sit in a chair and type anything into a computer and get an answer. Our reliance on this type of technology can be detrimental if not regulated and regularily substituted for other information sources such as human interactions and hands on learning. I think if humans understand that we should not have such a reliance on computer technology, that we as a species will advance further by utilizing the opportunity of computer technology as well as the other sources of information outside of a computer. Supplementing our knowledge with internet access is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 3This essay never moves beyond a superficial discussion of the issue. The writer attempts to develop two points: that advancements in technology have progressed our knowledge in many fields and that supplementing rather than relying on technology is surely a way for technology to solve problems while continually advancing the human race. Each point, then, is developed with relevant but insufficient evidence. In discussing the potential of technology to advance knowledge in many fields (a broad subject, rife with possible examples), the writer uses only one limited and very brief example from a specific field (medicine and stem-cell research).Development of the second point is hindered by a lack of specificity and organization. The writer creates what might be best described as an outline. The writer cites a need for regulation/supplementation and warns of the detriment of over-reliance upon technology. However, the explanation of both the problem and solution is vague and limited (Our reliance ... can be detrimental. If humans understand that we should not have such a reliance ... we will advance further). There is neither explanation of consequences nor clarification of what is meant by supplementing. This second paragraph is aseries of generalizations that are loosely connected and lack a much-needed grounding.In the essay, there are some minor language errors and a few more serious flaws (e.g., The future ability of growing new brain cells or One aspect where the ability of humans may initially be seen as an example of deteriorating minds). Despite the accumulation of such flaws, the writers meaning is generally clear. Thus, this essay earns a score of 3.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5Essay Response — Score 2In recent centuries, humans have developed the technology very rapidly, and you may accept some merit of it, and you may see a distortion in society occured by it. To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays. There are many symptoms and resons of it. However, I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinkng thoroughly.Of course, you can see the phenomena of human laziness along with developed technology in some place. However, they would happen in specific condition, not general. What makes human to be laze of thinking is not merely technology, but the the tendency of human that they treat them as a magic stick and ablack box. Not understanding the aims and theory of them couses the disapproval problems.The most important thing to use the thechnology, regardless the new or old, is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them, and to adapt suit tech to tasks in need. Even if you recognize a method as a all-mighty and it is extremely over-spec to your needs, you can not see the result you want. In this procedure, humans have to consider as long as possible to acquire adequate functions. Therefore, humans can not escape from using their brain.In addition, the technology as it is do not vain automatically, the is created by humans. Thus, the more developed tech and the more you want a convenient life, the more you think and emmit your creativity to breakthrough some banal method sarcastically.Consequently, if you are not passive to the new tech, but offensive to it, you would not lose your ability to think deeply. Furthermore, you may improve the ability by adopting it.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 2The language of this essay is what most clearly links it to the score of 2. Amidst sporadic moments of clarity, this essay is marred by serious errors in grammar, usage andmechanics that often interfere with meaning. It is unclear what the writer means when he/she states, To be lazy for human in some meaning is one of the fashion issues in thesedays, or to adapt suit tech to tasks in need.Despite such severe flaws, the writer has made an obvious attempt to respond to the prompt (I can not agree with the statement that the technology make humans to be reluctant to thinking thoroughly) as well as an unclear attempt to support such an assertion (Not understanding the aims and theory of them [technology] couses the disapproval problems and The most important thing to use the thechnology ... is to comprehend the fundamental idea of them). On the whole, the essay displays a seriously flawed but not fundamentally deficient attempt to develop and support its claims.(Note: In this specific case, the analysis is tied directly to the language. As the language falters, so too does the analysis.)Essay Response — Score 1Humans have invented machines but they have forgot it and have started everything technically so clearly their thinking process is deterioating.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 1The essay is clearly on topic, as evidenced by the writers usage of the more significant terms from the prompt: technically (technologically), humans, thinking (think) and deteriorating (deteriorate). Such usage is the only clear evidence of understanding. Meaning aside, the brevity of the essay (one sentence) clearly indicates the writers inability to develop a response that follows the specific instructions given (Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement above and explain your reasoning for the position you take).The language, too, is clearly level 1, as the sentence fails to achieve coherence. The coherent phrases in this one-sentence response are those tied to the prompt: Humans have invented machines and their thinking process is deteriorating.

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.
Admittedly, when many people question authority some societal harm might result, even if a social cause is worthy. Mass resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting, during which innocent people are hurt and their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrates this point. The authority which the rioters sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system which acquitted police officers in the beating of Rodney King. The means of challenging that authority amounted to flagrant disregard for criminal law on a mass scale--by way of looting, arson, and even deadly assault. This violent challenge to authority resulted in a financially crippled community and, more broadly, a turning back of the clock with respect to racial tensions across America.

GRE Issue Task范文5篇（中英双语）第一篇：Issue Task: Education and Critical Thinking | 教育与批判性思维英文版：Topic Statement:The best way to teach critical thinking is through formal education.Essay:The role of formal education in cultivating critical thinking skills is a topic of debate. While some argue that it is the best way to impart such skills, others believe that critical thinking can be nurtured through various means beyond the classroom.Proponents of formal education emphasize the structured environment it provides. In a classroom setting, students are exposed to diverse subjects, engage in intellectual discussions, and receive guidance from qualified educators. These experiences can undoubtedly enhance critical thinking abilities. Moreover, formal education often includes assignments and assessments that challenge students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, fostering essential thinking skills.On the other hand, critics contend that critical thinking is not confined to formal education alone. Everyday life offers countless opportunities for individuals to think critically. From solving real-worldproblems to making informed decisions, people continuously exercise their critical thinking skills outside the classroom. Furthermore, exposure to different cultures, hobbies, and experiences can also stimulate critical thinking. It is arguable that learning from a variety of life experiences can be just as effective, if not more so, than relying solely on formal education.In conclusion, the development of critical thinking is a multifaceted process. While formal education undeniably plays a significant role, it should not be considered the sole avenue for nurturing these skills. Critical thinking can thrive in both structured classroom environments and the richness of everyday life experiences. Therefore, a comprehensive approach that combines the best of both worlds is likely the most effective way to foster critical thinking skills.中文版：议题陈述：通过正式教育是教授批判性思维最好的方式。

In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.Essay Response — Score 6The statement linking technology negatively with free thinking plays on recent human experience over the past century. Surely there has been no time in history where the lived lives of people have changed more dramatically. A quick reflection on a typical day reveals how technology has revolutionized the world. Most people commute to work in an automobile that runs on an internal combustion engine. During the workday, chances are high that the employee will interact with a computer that processes information on silicon bridges that are .09 microns wide. Upon leaving home, family members will be reached through wireless networks that utilize satellites orbiting the earth. Each of these common occurrences could have been inconceivable at the turn of the 19th century.The statement attempts to bridge these dramatic changes to a reduction in the ability for humans to think for themselves. The assumption is that an increased reliance on technology negates the need for people to think creatively to solve previous quandaries. Looking back at the introduction, one could argue that without a car, computer, or mobile phone, the hypothetical worker would need to find alternate methods of transport, information processing and communication. Technology short circuits this thinking by making the problems obsolete.However, this reliance on technology does not necessarily preclude the creativity that marks the human species. The prior examples reveal that technology allows for convenience. The car, computer and phone all release additional time for people to live more efficiently. This efficiency does not preclude the need for humans to think for themselves. In fact, technology frees humanity to not only tackle new problems, but may itself create new issues that did not exist without technology. For example, the proliferation of automobiles has introduced a need for fuel conservation on a global scale. With increasing energy demands from emerging markets, global warming becomes a concern inconceivable to the horse-and-buggy generation. Likewise dependence on oil has created nation-states that are not dependent on taxation, allowing ruling parties to oppress minority groups such as women. Solutions to these complex problems require the unfettered imaginations of maverick scientists and politicians.In contrast to the statement, we can even see how technology frees the human imagination. Consider how the digital revolution and the advent of the internet has allowed for an unprecedented exchange of ideas. WebMD, a popular internet portal for medical information, permits patients to self research symptoms for a more informed doctor visit. This exercise opens pathways of thinking that were previously closed off to the medical layman. With increased interdisciplinary interactions, inspiration can arrive from the most surprising corners. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the architects of the UN Millenium Development Goals, based his ideas on emergency care triage techniques. The unlikely marriage of economics and medicine has healed tense, hyperinflation environments from South America to Eastern Europe.This last example provides the most hope in how technology actually provides hope to the future of humanity. By increasing our reliance on technology, impossible goals can now be achieved. Consider how the late 20th century witnessed the complete elimination of smallpox. This disease had ravaged the human race since prehistorical days, and yet with the technology of vaccines, free thinking humans dared to imagine a world free of smallpox. Using technology, battle plans were drawn out, and smallpox was systematically targeted and eradicated.Technology will always mark the human experience, from the discovery of fire to the implementation of nanotechnology. Given the history of the human race, there will be no limit to the number of problems, both new and old, for us to tackle. There is no need to retreat to a Luddite attitude to new things, but rather embrace a hopeful posture to the possibilities that technology provides for new avenues of human imagination.Reader Commentary for Essay Response — Score 6The author of this essay stakes out a clear and insightful position on the issue and follows the specific instructions by presenting reasons to support that position. The essay cogently argues that technology does not decrease our ability to think for ourselves, but merely provides "additional time for people to live more efficiently." In fact, the problems that have developed alongside the growth of technology (pollution, political unrest in oil-producing nations) actually call for more creative thinking, not less.In further examples, the essay shows how technology allows for the linking of ideas that may never have been connected in the past (like medicine and economic models), pushing people to think in new ways. Examples are persuasive and fully developed; reasoning is logically sound and well supported.Ideas in the essay are connected logically, with effective transitions used both between paragraphs ("However" or "In contrast to the statement") and within paragraphs. Sentence structure is varied and complex and the essay clearly demonstrates facility with the "conventions of standard written English (i.e., grammar, usage and mechanics)," with only minor errors appearing. Thus, this essay meets all the requirements for receiving a top score, a 6.。

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 2“The best way for a society to prepare its young people for leadership ingovernment, industry, or other fields is by instilling in them a sense of cooperation, not competition.”Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree ordisagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure toaddress the most compelling reasons or examples that could be used to challengeyour position.Essay Response – Score 6Whenever people argue that history is a worthless subject or that there isnothing to be gained by just “memorizing a bunch of stupid names and dates,” Isimply hold my tongue and smile to myself. What I’m thinking is that, asclicheas it sounds, you do learn a great deal from history (and woe to those who failto learn those lessons). It is remarkable to think of the number of circumstances and situations in which even the most rudimentary knowledge ofhistory will turn out to be invaluable. Take, for example, the issue at hand here. Is it better for society to instill in future leaders a sense of competition or cooperation? Those who have not examined leaders throughout timeand across a number of fields might not have the ability to provide a thoroughand convincing answer to this question, in spite of the fact that it is crucialto the future functioning of our society. Looking closely at the question of leadership and how it has worked in the past, I would have to agree that thebest way to prepare young people for leadership roles is to instill in them asense of cooperation.Let us look first at those leaders who have defined themselves based ontheir competitiveness. Although at first glance it may appear that a leader musthave a competitive edge in order to gain and then maintain a leadership position, I will make two points on this subject. First, the desire to competeis an inherent part of human nature; that is, it is not something that needs tobe “instilled” in young people. Is there anyone who does not compete in some wayor another every single day? You try to do better than others in your schoolwork or at the office, or you just try to do better than yourself in some way,to push yourself. When societies instill competitiveness in their leaders, it only leads to trouble. The most blatant example in this case is Adolf Hitler,who took competition to the very extreme, trying to prove that his race and hiscountry were superior to all. We do not, however, need to look that far to fi ndless extreme examples (i.e., Hitler is not the extreme example that disprovesthe rule). The recent economic meltdown was caused in no large part by theleaders of American banks and financial institutions who were obsessed withcompeting for the almighty dollar. Tiger Woods, the ultimate competitor inrecent golfing history and in many ways a leader who brought the sport of golfto an entirely new level, destroyed his personal life (and perhaps his career--still yet to be determined) by his overreaching sense that he could accomplish anything, whether winning majors or sleeping with as many women aspossible. His history of competitiveness is well documented; his father pushedhim froma very early age to be the ultimate competitor. It served him well insome respects, but it also proved to be detrimental and ultimately quite destructive.Leaders who value cooperation, on the other ahnd, have historically beenless prone to these overreaching, destructive tendencies. A good case in pointwould be Abraham Lincoln. Now, I am sure at this point you are thinking thatLincoln, who served as President during the Civil War and who refused to compromise with the South or allow secession, could not possibly be my model ofcooperation! Think, however, of the way Lincoln structured his Cabinet. He didnot want a group of “yes men” who would agree with every word he said, butinstead he picked people who were more likely to disagree with his ideas. And herespected their input, which allowed him to keep the government together in theNorth during a very tumultuous period (to say the least). My point in choosingthe Lincoln example is that competitiveness and conflict may play better to themasses and be more likely to be recorded in the history books, but it was hiscooperative nature that allowed him to govern effectively. Imagine if 109the CEOof a large company were never able to compromise and insisted thatevery singlething be done in exactly her way. Very quickly she would lose the very peoplethat a company needs in order to survive, people with new ideas, people ready tomake great advances. Without the ability to work constructively with those whohave conflicting ideas, a leader will never be able to strike deals, reach consensus, or keep an enterprise on track. Even if you are the biggest fish inthe pond, it is difficult to force your will on others forever; eventually a bigger fish comes along (or the smaller finish team up against you!).In the end, it seems most critical for society to instill in young people asense of cooperation. In part this is true because we seem to come by our competitive side more naturally, but cooperation is more often something westruggle to learn (just think of kids on the playground). And although competitive victory is more showy, more often than not the real details of leadership come down to the ability to work with other people, to compromise andcooperate. Getting to be President of the United States or the managingdirectorof a corporation might require you to win some battles, but once you are thereyou will need diplomacy and people-skills. Those can be difficult to learn, butif you do not have them, you are likely to be a short-lived leader.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 6This outstanding response earns a score of 6 for presenting an insightfulposition on the issue and supporting its analysis with compelling reasons andpersuasive examples. The response takes the insight-ful position that competition, though necessary to some aspects of leadership, is less importantfor young people to learn because it is inherent in the human condition and canlead to dangerous excesses, where-as cooperation is more difficult to learn butmore essential. The response follows the task directions by using counterarguments in the development of its position. For example, the discussionof Lincoln explore s conflicting sides of his Presidency (the “competition”ofthe Civil War and the “cooperation” within his Cabinet). In fact, the responseskillfully explores the nuances of both cooperation and competition, buildingits position of agreement with the prompt by looking closely at many sides ofboth concepts. Additionally, the response demonstrates superior facility withlanguage. There are a few minor errors, mainly typos, but in general the response demonstrates excel-lent sentence variety and diction. This sentence istypical of the quality of the writing throughout the response: “My point in choosing the Lincoln example is that competitiveness and conflict may playbetter to the masses and be more likely to be recorded in the history books, butit was his cooperative nature that allowed him to govern effectively.” In thiscomplex sentence, the writer makes skillful use of parallel structure and subordination. Because of its fluent writing and insightful development, then,this response earns a score of 6.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2Essay Response – Score 5Cooperation, the act of working as a group to achieve a collective goal, isan important value for young children to learn. Another vital life lesson children can learn is how to be competitive, which is a mindset in which a person feels the need to accomplish more than another person. Both are necessaryto become well rounded individuals, but concerning preparing for a future ingovernment, industry or various other fields, a sense of cooperation is muchmore important. While not all children are overly competitive in nature, everyperson has some level of competitive drive inside them. This is a natural thingand is perfectly normal. Unfortunately, if this competitive nature is emphasized, the child will have problems relating socially to other children,and subsequently, will have issues interacting with adults later in life. A fierce competitive drive will blind an individual, causing them to not seesituations where group effort will be more greatly rewarded than an individualeffort. Take for instance the many teams of people working for NASA. If thepeople that make up these teams were all out to prove that they were superior toothers, our entire space program would be jeapordized. One needs to look beyondthe scope of what is best on an individual level and learn to look at what willmost benefit a broad group of people. This is where instilling a sense of cooperation in young children is vital. Cooperation is taught at an early ageand must be emphasized throughout life to fully embrace the concept.In the world of sports a competitive drive is vital; unfortunately, life isnot a sports game that simply leads to a winning or losing score. Life is farmore complex than this simple idea and there is no winner or loser designationto accompany it. We all have to work together to come to a conclusion that willassist 110not just ourselves, but others and future generations. In every scenario there will be individuals that have brilliant ideas, but those ideas require other people to build upon, perfect and impliment. Take for instanceBill Gates; Bill Gates is responsible for the Microsoft coorporation which heinvented in his garage. His competitive drive assisted in building his idea, butit was the collaborative effort of many people that helped propel his inventioninto the world known product it is today. Without the cooperation of others, hisgenius invention might never have made it out of his garage. It may be true thatan individual can change the world, but only so far as to say that an individualcan construct an idea that will inevitably change the world. Once an idea isformulated, it then takes a team of people working collectively towards a commongoal to make sure that the brillant, life-altering idea makes it to furtuition. Without the cooperation of many, an idea could simply remain as apicture on adrawing board. It is because of this possibility that instilling a cooperative demeanor in children is much more important than developing a competivieattitude. Competition is a natural thing that will develop with or without encouragement but the same cannot be said for a sense of cooperation.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 5Arguing that cooperation is less natural and more important for leadership,this response develops a thoughtful position on the issue and conveys meaningclearly and well. For these reasons it earns a score of 5. Note that it does notdevelop its reasons and examples as thoroughly as the sample 6 does, but itstill presents thoughtful analysis using well chosen examples. For example, thediscussion of Bill Gates is thoughtful, exploring the ways that both competition(the “competitive drive” that led him to found a company) and cooperation (the“collaborative effort of many people” is what made the company work)wereessential to his success as a leader. Throughout the response, then, counterarguments are used to create a nuanced position on the issue. The writerlooks at conflicting aspects of competition, which is vital but insufficient forlife because life is “more complex” than a sporting event, and cooperation,which is critical but more difficult to learn. In addition, the writer conveysmeaning clearly, demonstrating sentence variety and a facility with languagethat is more than adequate. There are a few minor errors, mainly typos andmisspelled words, but language control in this response is more than adequate(e.g., “One needs to look beyond the scope of what is best on an individuallevel and learn to look at what will most benefit a broad group of people.”).Because of its facility with language and its thoughtful position on the issue,this response earns a score of 5.新GREIssue 官方范文整理3Essay Response – Score 4When the generation of today matures, it is important for them to succeedand become the successful leaders in government, industry and other fields.There are many traits that leaders must possess, and cooperation is one of thesevery important characters. Nonetheless it is important for leaders to have asense of competition, so as to prevent themselves from be-ing complacent withtheir position.Cooperation is needed in order to be a functional person in society, whilestill adhering to social standards. Most leaders in society, did not start out as such. A person cannot isolate themselves from others with demeanor andattitude and expect to become an executive. While there may be leaders that havedeveloped this ill attitude towards others, they did not get there by beingthatway. A person who is able to effectively cooperate with others, will subsequently develop a nexus of supporters. Through collaboration, people areable to develop their studies further and better themselves. However, it is still important for there to be a sense of competition. Competition is the rootof motivation for most. It drives us to become stronger, smarter, and to wantmore. Nonetheless, the spirit of competition must also be reigned in, and not beallowed to run wild. Competitiveness can lead to abuse of power and distastefulactions, which is quite the opposite of someone who displays cooperativeness.Some may argue that competition is not needed. That those that are meant tobe leaders will not become complacent, because they have their own internaldrive to lead. If there was no competition, there would be no world records.Michael Phelps may not be a leader of government or industry, but he iscertainly educated on the technique of swimming, and leader in his field. Wouldhe be as good as he is today if there was not competition? Would the leaders ofMicrosoft have been motivated to create Bing if there was no Google? 111Cooperation helped many leaders get where they are today, and will continueto do so in the future. But leaders, as well as those that aspire to be one, allneed to have a sense of competition as well.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 4This adequate response presents a clear position on the issue in accordancewith the assigned task, arguing that both competition and cooperation are important for leaders. The response uses counterarguments both in the construction of its overall position (comparing the value of both competitionand cooperation) and in its discussion of the positive and negative aspects ofcompetition. However, the development of ideas in this response is not as thorough or as persuasive as one would expect to see in a response that earns ascore of 5 or 6. For instance, the example of Microsoft inventing Bing to compete with Google is certainly relevant, but it is not developed with anythoughtfulness. It is simply stated. Other examples are somewhat more fullydeveloped, but there is also some tangential material (e.g., even the writer seems to understand that Michael Phelps does not quite fit into a discussion ofleadership). In addition to its adequate development, this response displaysadequate control of language. This response does not have the sentence varietyor the skillful diction seen in a response that earns a higher score. There aresome minor errors present, but nothing that interferes with clarity.

The writer agrees with the prompt that cooperation ismore important, and it explores some counterarguments in its assertion thatcompe tition “can inspire some one to work better and looking to do better can beconsidered good.” How-ever, almost every sentence in this response has at leastone minor error. Some of the errors are typos or minor mechanical problems likemissing spaces after punctuation. But other errors have more impact on meaning.Missing words, incorrect sentence boundaries, and improper verb forms contributeto a lack of clarity throughout the response. This sentence is typical of the limited language control seen t hroughout this response: “So there is no point ofgetting bogged down rather plan more ways to get the work done and one of thesureshot approach is by working together.” Because of its limited clarity, then,this response earns a score of 3.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5Essay Response – Score 2Both a sense of cooperation and competition is needed to be a good leader.If one is focused on competition and ignores or refuse to work with others thenthere would be problems for that leader.

In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons or examples that could be used to challenge your position.Essay Response – Score 6Whenever people argue that history is a worthless subject or that there is nothing to be gained by just “memorizing a bunch of stupid names and dates,” I simply hold my tongue and smile to myself. What I’m thinking is that, as cliche as it sounds, you do learn a great deal from history (and woe to those who fail to learn those lessons). It is remarkable to think of the number of circumstances and situations in which even the most rudimentary knowledge of history will turn out to be invaluable. Take, for example, the issue at hand here. Is it better for society to instill in future leaders a sense of competition or cooperation? Those who have not examined leaders throughout time and across a number of fields might not have the ability to provide a thorough and convincing answer to this question, in spite of the fact that it is crucial to the future functioning of our society. Looking closely at the question of leadership and how it has worked in the past, I would have to agree that the best way to prepare young peoplefor leadership roles is to instill in them a sense of cooperation.Let us look first at those leaders who have defined themselves based on their competitiveness. Although at first glance it may appear that a leader must have a competitive edge in order to gain and then maintain a leadership position, I will make two points on this subject. First, the desire to compete is an inherent part of human nature; that is, it is not something that needs to be “instilled” in young people. Is there anyone who does not compete in some way or another every single day? You try to do better than others in your school work or at the office, or you just try to do better than yourself in some way, to push yourself. When societies instill competitiveness in their leaders, it only leads to trouble. The most blatant example in this case is Adolf Hitler, who took competition to the very extreme, trying to prove that his race and his country were superior to all. We do not, however, need to look that far to fi nd less extreme examples (i.e., Hitler is not the extreme example that disproves the rule). The recent economic meltdown was caused in no large part by the leaders of American banks and financial institutions who were obsessed with competing for the almighty dollar. Tiger Woods, the ultimate competitor in recent golfing history and in many ways a leader who brought the sport of golf to an entirely new level, destroyed his personal life (and perhaps his career--still yet to be determined) by his overreaching sense that he could accomplish anything, whether winning majors or sleeping with as many women as possible. His history of competitiveness is well documented; his father pushed him froma very early age to be the ultimate competitor. It served him well in some respects, but it also proved to be detrimental and ultimately quite destructive.Leaders who value cooperation, on the other ahnd, havehistorically been less prone to these overreaching, destructive tendencies. A good case in point would be Abraham Lincoln. Now, I am sure at this point you are thinking that Lincoln, who served as President during the Civil War and who refused to compromise with the South or allow secession, could not possibly be my model of cooperation! Think, however, of the way Lincoln structured his Cabinet. He did not want a group of “yes men” who would agree with every word he said, but instead he picked people who were more likely to disagree with his ideas. And he respected their input, which allowed him to keep the government together in the North during a very tumultuous period (to say the least). My point in choosing the Lincoln example is that competitiveness and conflict may play better to the masses and be more likely to be recorded in the history books, but it was his cooperative nature that allowed him to govern effectively. Imagine if 109the CEO of a large company were never able to compromise and insisted that every single thing be done in exactly her way. Very quickly she would lose the very people that a company needs in order to survive, people with new ideas, people ready to make great advances. Without the ability to work constructively with those who have conflicting ideas, a leader will never be able to strike deals, reach consensus, or keep an enterprise on track. Even if you are the biggest fish in the pond, it is difficult to force your will on others forever; eventually a bigger fish comes along (or the smaller finish team up against you!).In the end, it seems most critical for society to instill in young people a sense of cooperation. In part this is true because we seem to come by our competitive side more naturally, but cooperation is more often something we struggle to learn (justthink of kids on the playground). And although competitive victory is more showy, more often than not the real details of leadership come down to the ability to work with other people, to compromise and cooperate. Getting to be President of the United States or the managing director of a corporation might require you to win some battles, but once you are there you will need diplomacy and people-skills. Those can be difficult to learn, but if you do not have them, you are likely to be a short-lived leader.Reader Commentary for Essay Response – Score 6This outstanding response earns a score of 6 for presenting an insightful position on the issue and supporting its analysis with compelling reasons and persuasive examples. The response takes the insight-ful position that competition, though necessary to some aspects of leadership, is less important for young people to learn because it is inherent in the human condition and can lead to dangerous excesses, where-as cooperation is more difficult to learn but more essential. The response follows the task directions by using counterarguments in the development of its position. For example, the discussion of Lincoln explores conflicting sides of his Presidency (the “competition” of the Civil War and the “cooperation” within his Cabi net). In fact, the response skillfully explores the nuances of both cooperation and competition, building its position of agreement with the prompt by looking closely at many sides of both concepts. Additionally, the response demonstrates superior facility with language. There are a few minor errors, mainly typos, but in general the response demonstrates excel-lent sentence variety and diction. This sentence is typical of the quality of the writing throughout the response: “My point in choosing the Lincoln example is thatcompetitiveness and conflict may play better to the masses and be more likely to be recorded in the history books, but it was his cooperative nature that allowed him to govern effectively.” In this complex sentence, the writer makes skillful use of parallel structure and subordination. Because of its fluent writing and insightful development, then, this response earns a score of 6.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2Essay Response – Score 5Cooperation, the act of working as a group to achieve a collective goal, is an important value for young children to learn. Another vital life lesson children can learn is how to be competitive, which is a mindset in which a person feels the need to accomplish more than another person. Both are necessary to become well rounded individuals, but concerning preparing for a future in government, industry or various other fields, a sense of cooperation is much more important. While not all children are overly competitive in nature, every person has some level of competitive drive inside them. This is a natural thing and is perfectly normal. Unfortunately, if this competitive nature is emphasized, the child will have problems relating socially to other children, and subsequently, will have issues interacting with adults later in life. A fierce competitive drive will blind an individual, causing them to not see situations where group effort will be more greatly rewarded than an individual effort. Take for instance the many teams of people working for NASA. If the people that make up these teams were all out to prove that they were superior to others, our entire space program would be jeapordized. One needs to look beyond the scope of what is best on an individual level and learn to look at what will most benefit a broad group of people. This is where instilling a sense ofcooperation in young children is vital. Cooperation is taught at an early age and must be emphasized throughout life to fully embrace the concept.In the world of sports a competitive drive is vital; unfortunately, life is not a sports game that simply leads to a winning or losing score. Life is far more complex than this simple idea and there is no winner or loser designation to accompany it. We all have to work together to come to a conclusion that will assist 110not just ourselves, but others and future generations.

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 3The best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement above and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how those considerations shape your position.The following sample issue response received a score of 6: Passion is clearly necessary for a truly great idea to take hold among a people—passion either on the part of the original thinker, the audience, or ideally both. The claim that the most lucrative subject matter for inspiring great ideas is “commonplace things”may seem initially to be counterintuitive. After all, aren’t great ideas usually marked by their extraordinary character? While this is true, their extraordinary character is as often as not directly derivedfrom their insight into things that had theretofore gone unquestioned. While great ideas certainly can arise through seemingly pure innovation... say, for example, Big Bang cosmology, which developed nearly all of its own scientific and philosophical precepts through its own process of formation, it is nevertheless equally true that such groundbreaking thought was, and is, still largely a reevaluation of previous assumptions to a radical degree... after all, the question of the ultimate nature of the universe, and man’s place in it, has been central to human thought since the dawn of time. Commonplace things are, additionally, necessary as material for the generation of “the best ideas” since certainly the success among an audience must be considered in evaluating the significance and quality of an idea.The advent of Big Bang cosmology, which occured in rudimentary form almost immediately upon Edwin Hubble’s first observations at the Hooker telescope in California during the early 20th century, was the most significant advance in mankind’s understanding of the universe in over 400 years. The seemingly simple fact that everything in the universe, on the very large scale, is moving away from everything else in fact betrays nearly all of our scientific knowledge of the origins andmechanics of the universe. This slight, one might even say commonplace, distortion of tint on a handful of photographic plates carried with it the greatest challenge to Man’s general, often religiously reinforced, conception of the nature of the world to an extent not seen since the days of Galileo. Not even Charles Darwin’s theory, though it created more of a stir than Big Bang cosmology, had such shattering implications for our conceptions of the nature of our reality. Yet it is not significant because it introduced the question of the nature of what lies beyond Man’s grasp. A tremendous number of megalithic ruins, including the Pyramids both of Mexico and Egypt, Stonehenge, and others, indicate that this question has been foremost on humankind’s collective mind since time immemorial. Big Bang cosmology is so incredibly significant in this line of reasoning exactly because of the degree to which it changed the direction of this generally held, constantly pondered, and very ancient train of thought.Additionally, there is a diachronic significance to the advent of Big Bang cosmology, which is that, disregarding limitations such as the quality of optical devices available and the state of theoretical math, it could have happened at any point in time. That is to say, all evidence points to roughlythe same raw intellectual capacity for homo sapiens throughout our history, our progress has merely depended upon the degree of it that a person happens to inherit, a pace that has been increasing rapidly since the industrial revolution. Yet this discovery had to happen at a certain point in time or another —it cannot have been happening constantly or have never happened yet still be present—and this point in time does have its own significance. That significance is precisely the fact that the aforementioned advent must have occurred at precisely the point in time at which it truly could have occured—that is to say, it marks the point in our history when we had progressed sufficiently to begin examining, with remarkable substantiated acuity, the workings of the universe across distances that would take millions of human lifetimes to reach or to traverse. The point for the success of this advent must necessarily have been, additionally, the point at which the audience concerned was capable and prepared to accept such a radical line of reasoning.Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace and the preparedness to accept such an interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea. If the passion is absent from an inquiry by thethinker or by the bulk of an audience, the idea will die out if it comes to fruition at all. If the material is not sufficiently commonplace to be considered by an informed audience of sufficient size, the same two hazards exist. Given these two factors, the idea must still be found palatable and interesting by the audience if it is to hope to gain a foothold and eventually establish itself in a significant fashion.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 6:This outstanding response presents a cogent, well-articulated analysis of the complexities of the issue by arguing that (1) great ideas develop from commonplace observations that are interpreted in a radical way; and (2) passion is required of both thinkers and the audience in order for great ideas to take hold.The argument is based on an extended example (Big Bang cosmology) and has two parts. The first part defines “commonplace things” as universal questions (i.e., the quest to understand the cosmos is commonplace, though complex, because it is an ancient and universal question) and places Big Bang cosmology in context with the scientific breakthroughs of Galileo and the Pyramids of ancient Mexico and Egypt.The second part explains Big Bang as the result of aconvergence of factors: both thinkers and the audience must be ready to reevaluate “previous assumptions”and accept “radical, passionate interpretations.”The argument’s careful line of reasoning is strengthened by appropriate transitions between paragraphs (“Additionally,”“Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace and the preparedness to accept such an interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea,” etc.) and within paragraphs (“Not even Charles Darwin’s,”“Yet,”“that is to say,” etc.). Fluent and precise language—advent, rudimentary, diachronic, shattering implications, megalithic ruins—and effective sentence variety also characterize this response as outstanding. Finally, despite the presence of minor errors (overuse of comma and inconsistent use of ellipses in paragraph 1), this response demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard written English.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2The following sample issue response received a score of 5: The statement above comes from the perspective that the best thinkers, inventors, and innovators are the way that they are because they explore passionately the interesting thingsaround them. Yes, I would say that this is definitely true.I understand best the things that interest me, but it is only the things with which I am familiar with and understand in my surroundings. It would be difficult to take passionate interest in the things which I did not have available in my environment.For example, let’s consider some “idea” people in history. The person who invented the basketball hoop, or the game of volleyball, or ice skates, all had interest in those things before they had their brilliant ideas. I do know that the inventor of the basketball hoop used to coach a basketball team of young boys, and they would throw the ball into a fruit basket that was nailed to the wall. Obviously, a basket has a bottom to it, and they would have to fish it out after every successful throw. So he had the brilliant idea of cutting out the bottom of the basket. It seems so simple to us now, but nobody had ever played basketball like that in his day.The phrase, “commonplace things” can be rather misleading, I believe. I think every person has slightly different “commonplace things” in their environment depending on their interests, their financial status, and availability of items. What is commonplace for one person may never be known by another.I take passionate interest in things having to do with sewingusing patterns, fabrics and threads. However, my mother and grandmother are excellent seamstresses and I had the availability of learning from them. It was a “commonplace thing”for me. I have had some wonderful ideas come out of my passion for this kind of art.Orville and Wilbur Wright had a passionate interest in things having to do with flight, a rather ordinary thing for the sorts of birds who can fly with their wings, but certainly not people. If I had lived during the Wright brothers’ time, I would probably not have had the same passionate interest in figuring out how to make humans fly, because it is not something that I would have thought possible. But their dreams and visionary possibilities were much bigger than mine would have been at that time. They not only had a passionate interest but they were willing to experiment, to risk financial ruin and ridicule, and even put their lives on the line. So while it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commplace things, there also has to be an element of daring to challenge “norms” and not being able to just accept things as they are. There has to be a desire to make things better and to improve on the present.There also has to be the element of not being afraid offailure. Most ideas do inevitably fail. Einstein is viewed today as being one of the most brilliant thinkers and “idea”people in all of history. But nobody really talks about how many times his ideas failed. The number is quite amazing. Many people are afraid of failure, so even though they make take a passionate interest in something commonplace, and have some great ideas, they may never carry them through because of uncertainty that they would work. We must be willing to try!So, yes, it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things, because these are the things that we know, these are the things that we understand, and the things that we want to explore in even more depths. But there must be more elements involved than just taking interest in something. We must be willing to face risks of many kinds in order to separate the ideas that fail from the ones that will triumphantly succeed.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 5:This strong response presents a well- considered analysis of the complexities of the issue by arguing that great ideas come, not only from a passionate interest in the commonplace, but also from great imagination and a willingness to succeed.The logic of the response unfolds very smoothly: paragraph3 explores the term “commonplace” and offers support for the prompt’s position; paragraphs4 and5 discuss the related issues of imagination, willingness to experiment, and overcoming failure. The examples are well chosen and generally well developed.Paragraph 2 offers a relevant, though predictable, sports example (invention of basketball hoop) to examine how commonplace things/familiarity can spark great ideas. A personal example is used in paragraph 3 to further explore the definition of “commonplace” and illustrate how the term is relative to financial status and availability (though only the concept of availability is developed in this example). Paragraph 2 logically extends into paragraph 3, and the same connection is seen between paragraphs 4 and 5.In paragraph 4 the Wright brothers are used to argue that great ideas also come from imagination and a willingness to experiment. The final example, in which Einstein is offered to illustrate the necessity of overcoming failure, is not as fully developed as the others. The respondent does not explain what failures Einstein endured or how he overcame them, which makes the example less compelling. Overall, the analysis demonstrated in the examples is “perceptive and clear,” butnot “insightful and cogent” as required for a score of 6. While the response expresses ideas clearly, using appropriate vocabulary and sentence variety, it does not use language as fluently and precisely as would a typical 6. Occasional wordiness/ awkwardness could be avoided with more precise diction (e.g., “There also has to be the element of not being afraid of failure,” or “I have had some wonderful ideas come out of my passion for this kind of art”).新GREIssue 官方范文整理3The following sample issue response received a score of 4: In agreement with the statement, many great inventions have come from individuals interested in commonplace things. Out of simplicity arises great ideas, and I would consider commonplace things to be simplistic. However, it is hard to say that the “best”ideas arise from passion in commonplace things, because one could argue that the best ideas involve interest in remarkable things, which is what makes them the “best” ideas.If the statement is viewed from the standpoint of all ideas from the beginning of civilization, then the statement holds true. Examples of commonplace things are food and shelter. If a person had an abundance of food and needed to transport it, they may have the idea to weave a basket or make some sort oftote in order to load more at once. With that idea, eventually the people would think of things to make the first idea more useful, such as adding wheels to your carrying device. With shelter, first people (Cro-Magnon)may have kept out of weather and unsafe territory by using caves as shelter. From passionate interest in the common shelter a person may have come up with brilliant ideas about structures, architecture, and construction.In concern with the opposing view that the best ideas arise from remarkable things, one could argue that best ideas are medical breakthroughs and all other aspects of Science. Working with substances and molecules and creating ions and isotopes is not a commonplace thing. However, it is what the people who make the scientific breakthroughs have passionate interest in expanding.Looking at the big picture, I would say that if people did not have “passionate interest in commonplace things”, then the idea that led us to the remarkable things would have never occurred. If that is true then the statement holds true because the best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though some older ideas may seem obsolete now, there was a time that without those ideas, we would stillbe in the dark ages.Overall, I agree with the statement. The best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though I do not consider medical breakthroughs coming from interest in commonplace things, our species appears to be reaching the point in which cancer and AIDS could be considered a commonplace thing. If that is true, then when someone finds a cure for cancer or AIDS it will be one of the best ideas arising from a passionate interest in a commonplace thing. Once again reinforcing the truth of the statement.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 4:This response presents a competent analysis and conveys meaning adequately.Paragraph 2 offers appropriate and adequately developed examples from “the beginning of civilization” to illustrate how commonplace needs inspire innovation: the need to transport food led to the invention of woven baskets and, eventually, the invention of the wheel; similarly, the need for shelter that drove “Cro-Magnon”to the caves eventually inspired “brilliant ideas about structures, architecture, and construction.”Paragraph 3, which explores the “opposing view” (the bestideas arise from remarkable things), is less developed. The respondent claims that the best ideas are “medical breakthroughs and all other aspects of Science,”without explaining what is meant by “Science” or why these types of ideas are the “best.” Does “Science” include engineering, computer sciences, and the social sciences? Why are advances in science and medicine better than advances in religion the arts, or philosophy? The response also fails to acknowledge the commonplace interests (e.g., desire to improve quality of life) that drive medical/scientific research. While the response addresses two sides of the issue, it never delves into complexity the way a 5 or 6 would.In paragraph 4, the response comes to a new conclusion: without initial interest in commonplace things, interest in remarkable things would be impossible. This is an interesting position that, if developed and supported with well-chosen examples, could lead to complex analysis. However, the conclusion is merely stated, loosely supported with generalities, and then further confounded by shaky logic in paragraph 5.Ideas are expressed with reasonable clarity and the response generally demonstrates control of language. It is lackof complexity and logical development that keep this response from earning a higher score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4The following sample issue response received a score of 3: How do new knowledge came into being? Sometimes it stemed from exsiting knowledge. Sometimes it was born all out of sudden. Both ways seem work well. As I see through this question, I believe that what plays a key role in creating new ideas is a passionate interest.Throughout history, a myriad of examples help prove the importance of interest. Edison, the greatest inventors in the world, possessed a sharp interest ever since his childhood. In his eyes, every common things were full of mysteries. It was his unique interest which helped him look into the machanism of things around therefore new iders came into his mind and, changed into conceret machines facilitating our lives. Another famous example is that of Newton. A riped apple from a tree fell onto his head one afternoon. For ordinary people, this kind of trivial instance would slip off their mind at once. However, Newton lost hisself in thought of the relation between objects. Finally he found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.On the other hand, without interest, the opportunity ofgreat discoveries will pass by. Most people are experiencing ordinary lives everyday. Why don’t they come up with great ideas? Because interest is a state of skeptism, a state in which we do not stop to disclose the truth beneath a surface of commonplaces. Interest means the ability to explore the internal corelations. Therefore, with a passiontae interest, those commonplace things are no longer commonplace, and new ideas are created.From what have been discussed above, we can see that interest serves as force to propell the exploration of unknowns, to perfect the structure of human knowledge, and to move towards the ultimate truth.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 3:This limited response demonstrates some competence in its analysis and in conveying meaning but is obviously flawed.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a passionate interest allows people to see beyond the commonplace and create new ideas (paragraphs 1 and 3). However, the response is limited in presenting and developing this position.In paragraph 2 the response offers two relevant but underdeveloped examples to illustrate the importance of interest in generating ideas.The Edison example is not persuasive because its development is limited to generalities (“common things were full of mysteries...which helped him look into the machanism of things...therefore new iders came into his mind and, changed into conceret machines”). The response does not provide specific examples of the common “things” that interested Edison nor does it discuss any of Edison’s particular ideas. Thus, it does little to advance the response’s position. The Newton example is not penalized for historical inaccuracy. However, like the previous example, it is overly general and underdeveloped.The response also contains an accumulation of language errors (in usage, word choice, and sentence structure) that often result in a lack of clarity. For instance, the rhetorical device used in paragraph 1 contains frequent errors that render it ineffective. The imprecise language use in the Newton example is particularly unsettling: “Newton lost hisself in thought of the relation between objects. Finally he found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.” While these errors do not generally interfere with meaning, they constitute a lack of language control that precludes a score of 4.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5The following sample issue response received a score of 2: The above statement reinforces my values and beliefs. I agree that the best ideas arises from a paasionate interest.I agree simply because a person must be able to personally relate to a thing in order to become passionate to the idea. The person behind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace things have affected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationship between the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionate interest to the person who it has affected. A person must have a desire to build on their passion in order to follow through on his or her idea.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 2:This response presents a seriously flawed analysis of the issue.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a person must be able to relate to something in order to develop passion for it. (The connection between things one can “relate to”and “commonplace things” is implied.) The response also states that passion is necessary in order for a person to follow through on an idea. However, neither of these claims is supported with relevant reasons or examples.Furthermore, flawed word choice and other language control problems make the reasoning hard to follow (particularly in sentences 4 and 5: “The person behind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace things have affected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationship between the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionate interest to the person who it has affected.”In those sentences the respondent attempts to analyze the relationship between commonplace things, passion, and ideas). Nevertheless, this response is not a 1: the respondent does provide evidence of the ability to understand the issue and attempts to present a position on it.The following sample issue response received a score of 1: This topic can be found to be true in many different areas. The best ideas that people have come up with are usually founded be improving commonplace things. For example in order to improve the effiecency of writing the typewriter was invented, then following that the computer was invented.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 1:This response presents a fundamentally deficient discussion of the issue.The first sentence consists of generic language that canbe applied to any prompt. Thus, it neither enhances nor detracts from the analysis. The remainder of the response consists of a statement in support of the prompt and a list of two examples (the typewriter and the computer). The examples offered are potentially relevant but completely undeveloped. Basic errors in usage and grammar are pervasive, but it is primarily the inability to develop an organized response that makes this response a 1.新GREIssue官方范文。

Isusue test1"Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."6Technology, broadly defined as the use of tools, has a long history. Ever since Erg the caveman first conked an animal with a rock, people have been using technology. For thousands of years, the use of tools allowed people to move ever closer together. Because fields could be cultivated and the technology to store food existed, people would live in cities rather than in small nomadic tribes. Only very lately have Erg's descendants come to question the benefits of technology. The Industrial Revolution introduced and spread technologies that mechanized many tasks. As a result of the drive toward more efficient production and distribution (so the ever larger cities would be supported), people began to act as cogs in the technological machine. Clothing was no longer produced by groups of women sewing and gossiping together, but by down-trodden automation's operating machinery in grim factories.The benefits of the new technology of today, computers and the internet, are particularly ambiguous. They have made work ever more efficient and knit the world together in a web of information and phone lines. Some visionaries speak of a world in which Erg need not check in to his office; he can just dial in from home. He won't need to go to a bar to pick up women because there are all those chat rooms. Hungry? Erg orders his groceries from an online delivery service. Bored? Download a new game. And yet...Many people, myself included, are a little queasy about that vision. Erg may be doing work, but is it real work? Are his online friends real friends? Does anything count in a spiritual way if it's just digital? Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been haunted by the prospect that we are turning into our machines: efficient, productive, souless. The newest technologies, we fear, are making us flat as our screens, turning us into streams of bits of interchangable data. We may know a lot of people, but we have few real friends. We have a lot of things to do, but no reason to do them. In short, the new technology emphasizes a spiritual crisis that has been building for quite some time.As I try to unravel which I believe about the relative merits of technology, I think it is instructive to remember technology's original result. A better plow meant easier farming, more food, longer lives, and more free time to pursue other things such as art. Our newest technology does not give us more free time; it consumes our free time. We are terminally distracted from confronting ourselves or each other. We stay safe, and lonely, in our homes and offices rather than taking the risk of meeting real people or trying new things.While I am certainly not a Luddite, I do believe we need to look for a bit more balance between technology and life. We have to tear ourselves away from the fatal distractions and go out into the world. Technology has given us long lives and endless supplies of information. Now we need to apply that information, use the time we're not spending conking our dinner with a club, and find our reasons for living.评价This outstanding response displays cogent reasoning, insightful, persuasive analysis, and superior control of language. The essay immediately identifies the complexities of the issue and then playfully explores both the benefits and the drawbacks of technological developments over the course of human history. The writer maintains that a "balance between technology and life" is necessary if humans are going to abate the loneliness that is part of modern existence.5I disagree with the argument that "Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."" Arguments can be made for this thesis, but they depend largely upon what I believe to be a poor definition of "loneliness".If one defines loneliness as the absence of as much physical, face-to-face contact with other people, then this argument is probably true. The invention of modern telecommunications devices such as telephones, fax machines, and computers has definitely cut down on the amount of physical contact with other people. This is especially true in recent times due to the extremely rapid expansion of the Internet. E-mail and tele-conferencing are direct substitutes for physical contact, especially in the business world.However, I believe that loneliness can be better measured by intellectual contact with other individuals. Unarguably, modern technology makes this faster and easier, with better communication with a larger number of people. Some employers have argued that productivity is lessened since they have had computers linked to the Internet, as the employees spend much of their time "chatting" with friends, acquaintances, or business contacts across the country. This is probably not a good thing for the employers, but it demonstrates the increased degree of communication due to modern technology.Of course, some technologies have increased loneliness by any standards, such as the automobile or other transportation mechanisms. These encourage substantially longer commutes between home and work. Automobiles have made possible the pattern of suburbanization that has been in place in the United States since immediately after World War Two. Time spent commuting is generally unproductive and spent alone, unless the individual in question is car-pooling or using mass transit. The contribution of the commuting culture to loneliness may actually be changing now due to new technology that is being invented and used by the general public. Popular new devices, such as the cellular phone, the laptop computer, and the combination thereof may actually convert commuting time to a period of increased communications between people, to "pass the time". This will be especially true as use of mass transit grows, which will probably happen, due to problems with gas shortages, air pollution, and the creation of further mass transit by federal and local governments.The motivation for the declaration that loneliness is increasing may be due to the fact that many people, especially blue-collar workers, are unable to afford or use these new devices. However, since the advent of the personal computer, the price per computing power has continually lowered rapidly, and this trend shows no sign of changing. Several companies, such as Sun Microsystems and Oracle have announced that they are attempting to develop terminals with little computing power, but a full capability to access the Internet. These devices will be in approximately the $500 price range, which is much more reasonable than the price of the current top of the line PC. In addition, to cater to a larger mass of the public, software companies have been carefully making their products easier to use by non-"computer nerds". This trend is not likely to cease.In conclusion, although early development of modern transportation may have increased loneliness, I believe that more recent technologies are actually doing the opposite, stimulating interpersonal contact and encouraging intellectual expansion. The perception that the opposite is true derives from what I believe is poor definition of loneliness and the difficulty that the working class has in acquiring and using modern telecommunications devices.评价This strong response analyzes the complexities of the issue. In disagreeing with the prompt, the writer makes a distinction between two types of loneliness -- loneliness caused by "the absence of??? physical contact" and loneliness brought about by a lack of "intellectual contact" with others. The essay reasons that while "the automobile and other transportation mechanisms" originally kept passengers physically and intellectually isolated from one another, modern technology, such as the cellular telephone and laptop computer, has made intellectual contact "faster and easier" and has benefited users by allowing them to communicate with "a larger number of people."The response provides clear and relevant examples of the ways in which technological developments facilitate and encourage intellectual communication. The writer examines the impact of user-friendly Internet access on the individual's ability to interact with others even when physical distance separates the communicating parties.The organization is clear, yet transitions between paragraphs are not always smooth. The body of the essay lacks the focus that would help move it to a score of 6. It is not always clear how the information given relates to the essay's initial position (e.g., the discussion of current prices for personal computers in paragraph five). The conclusion, while clearly relevant, attempts to impose order on the somewhat loosely connected paragraphs, yet fails to add substance to the analysis.On the whole, the essay displays clarity and control, but the language is sometimes imprecise and less tightly controlled than it would be in a 6 essay. The following sentence is one such example: "The motivation for the declaration that loneliness is increasing may be due to the fact that many people, especially blue-collar workers, are unable to afford or use these new devices."4Looking at the above statement, I see a lot of truth to the statement . There are many ways that society has used the advanced technology in order to isolate themselves. It may or may not be a consious move, but the results are all the same. The isolation occurs in a variety of ways and in all different areas. By computerizing factories, there are more and more people working long hoursby themselves, with there only companion as a computer monitor. Although the company may be getting better production, the question that needs to be ask is at what cost to their employees.It is not only the management of big factories that are responsible for this isolation. This lonliness can be seen in many other settings. With the growing popularity of the television, the nation is seeing a decline in families talking and an increase in watching the television. Not only can this result in a generation of "coach potatoes", it is also causes less communication and a feeling of isolation from everyone that a person cares about.So far technology has entered the work place and the home, it has also entered the social relm. When you go to order food in the drive-thru, who is or better yet what is it that you talk to? It is a machine, although there is a person on the other end, you are still reciting your order to a machine. If it is ten o'clock at night and you need money, there are ATM's. All of these gadgets may be very nice and convient, but they result in lack of human contact.Although it might be easy to blame technolgy for our feelings of loneliness, it is just a cop out. By looking at all the ways technology causes isolation, it is still people who choose to use these convenient methods. If a person wants to have human contact, all they have to do is go inside to the bank or go inside the resturaunt to order. What it basically boils down to, is that it is our choice whether or not we use technology. It is a scary thought to think maybe one day we might live in a society where you will never have to leave your house. That by using FAX machines, computers, modems, and the telephone a person would never have to have human contact to get their job done. The thing is that if that is not what we as a society wants, we are the ones to speak out and change the outcome.评价This response presents a competent discussion of the issue. The position presented in the first paragraph -- that "there are many ways that society has used the advanced technology in order to isolate themselves" -- is adequately sustained, but the examples given are not always clearly relevant (e.g., in the case of paragraph one's "computerizing" of factories, the decision to use the technology is not made by the individual worker.) Also, the reasoning is not developed as fully as it would be in a response at the score level of 6 or 5.While organization is adequate, the response lacks the organized coherence of ideas that exemplify a 5 essay. Transitions, within and between paragraphs, are not always smooth or logical. The last paragraph could be much more clearly focused, i.e., several sentences repeat the same idea -- that "it is our choice whether or not we use technology" -- and the purpose or meaning of others (e.g., the last) is not immediately clear.In general, ideas are presented clearly, although awkward phrasing sometimes contributes to vagueness (e.g., "By looking at all the ways technology causes isolation, it is still people who choose to use these convenient methods"). Lack of sentence structure variety seems to inhibit the communication of ideas (e.g., many short sentences are often used where one or two compound ones could make the points more effectively). Overall, this is an adequate response to the topic.3The technological tools we as a society have developed are not in themselves positive or negative, they are just that, tools. The uses, however, are definitely a different story. Computers, I believe at one time, were developed to save us time. Do our work more quickly for us so that we could have more leisure time to spend doing those things we enjoy. We have found now, especially those of us that are parents, that all of the leisure time we have gained is either spent watching our children learn things on the computer or creating our own unique something on the family computer. For one thing, it has become a very fun item, the computers have become more than just work related technological tools. The amount of human interaction is limited, because people in general are spending much of their leisure time doing solo on the computer. In the past, it was common for the new young exectutive to get a membership to the exercise club as a perk, where he could socialize with the upper crust. Now the new young exec. gets a car phone or a portable fax, so that he can work from whereever he is, usually doing that solo trip to somewhere. Given these as examples, I would tend to agree with the statement that lonliness has increased as a direct result.评价This response is limited in both its analysis of the issue and its control of language.The writer clearly expresses the idea that "the technological tools we as a society have developed are not in themselves positive or negative." However, the essay provides only limited support for the position; the two examples are loosely connected and undeveloped.At times the organization of the essay makes for confusing reading. For example, the relevance of the "young executive" example is not clear because there is no transition from the preceding example of the computer. The conclusion, one sentence long, simply restates the claim made in the topic.The awkward sentences are evidence of a limited fluency. Greater use of compound sentences could help eliminate structural problems and facilitate the communication of ideas (e.g., sentences 3 and 4 could be combined).For all of these reasons, the essay received a score of 3.2、Computers of all shapes and sizes, p.c.'s, laptops, faxes, phones, the list never ends. All considered by our society as great technological advances. Not many would argue that the development of these tools has not advanced our world in some ways. However they certainly seem to be making our world one in which contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary. Though some may be more comfortable not having to engage in direct contact, it is questionable whether this is beneficial to society as a whole. The very least result could in fact be a very lonely world, but it may result in more significant problems.评价This response is seriously flawed. The analysis of the issue is extremely limited, and there are serious problems in sentence structure. The writer's position, never clearly stated, seems to be that as a result of technological developments, "contact with our fellow man is less and less necessary."However, the implications of this statement (and others) are never explored or developed. Furthermore, the list of technological advancements does not support or clarify the writer's already tenuously held position. Each new sentence could serve as a springboard to a thoughtful analysis but instead takes the response further from the apparent premise.While the essay exhibits a lack of sentence variety and contains some grammatical errors, the language is for the most part controlled. This response did not receive a score of 2 because of a language problem, but because reasoning, analysis, and development are extremely thin and insubstantial.1、This statement is stating. The more advance in tecnology that society becomes, the more we depend on technology to live our everyday lives. Society as a whole will out do daily tasks and depend more on machines and computers to accomplish those tasks for them. For example; I was told that the younger generations use caclators in classes on a everday level. We counld'nt do that. We had to resolve a problem on our own. Because caculators are being used, math problems are being adjusted around the caculators. If I didnt know how to use a caculator today then I most likely woulnd't know how to attempt to tackle the math of today. Computers of today are another example. Writing a essay took a lot of thought and hard work in past. Today, I can type some words in the computer and that computer will spell, make grammer correction, and dictate a right form to use in my essay. In the past we had to all these things on our own. I'm not putting down modern technology totally. I just want to state that if we take away people's ability to think then we will slowly loose our ability to function with out modern technology.评价This response is fundamentally deficient because it does not discuss the issue. Instead, it briefly discusses the drawbacks of specific types of technology (e.g., calculators and computers) in terms of the effect they have on an individual's ability to function without them.Furthermore, the essay lacks control of the basic elements of academic writing. Awkward and imprecise phrasing often interferes with meaning (e.g., "Society as a whole will out do daily tasks???").Test2"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."6For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. For the baby boomers it was a result oftelevision and revolutionary music. No matter how the impact took place, it is clear that since its very advent, the media have played a crucial role in not simply being representative of the values of our society but creating them as well.During the roaring twenties Americans found themselves in a struggle between the old ways of their ancestors and the new ways of the future. The once steadfast beliefs that men and women should not touch while dancing, and that ladies should not drink or smoke were suddenly being challenged. From where was all this rebellion stemming? Partly it was due to the returning doughboys from the shores of Europe bringing home revolutionary ideas they had encountered while at war. Nonetheless, returning soldiers could not be held responsible for the social upheaval that America experienced. There had to be another cause, and there was, the media. Although the films of the era were silent they spoke volumes to the society for which they were created. Women in these movies wore their hemlines a few inches shorter than the decade before them and they wore cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts. The movies, as well as the books of that era, demonstrated a new materialistic attitude that America had never before experienced. Films portrayed every character as having the money to buy a new car, drink, smoke and partake in the leisures of life, a philosophy that was soon adopted by the youth of the decade. The use of the media in the twenties was to serve as a catalyst for the revolutionary ideas that were circulating. The films and books of that era sped America along its path of change that eventually led to the greatest social unrest that the United States had ever known.Unlike the twenties, the sixties and seventies utalized the media in a way that appealed to those searching for truth in a lost and confused world. Martin Luther King Jr. realized the impact of the media on society during his campaign for civil rights. King urged his followers to withstand any abuse that they might encounter because the media will take their peacefulness into the homes of their society. By doing so, King sucessfully began to change the traditional view of race. Americans began to sympathize with the protesters because of the undeserved turmoil they faced at the hands of the government. As a result, America relinquished the Jim Crow laws and saw many other groups press for their individual rights as well. Television cameras rolled as Cesar Chavez organized the migrant workers in California and as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinham linked arms to protest the lack of women's rights.While the media helped to shape some attitudes about racism and gender it also helped to uncover the truth behind government lies. During the Nixon评价This is an outstanding response, even though it is not quite finished. The writer's views on the issue are so cogent, well articulated, and well developed that the writer was not penalized for failing to provide a conclusion. What matters is the quality of thinking and writing displayed, not whether an essay is totally finished or has a certain number of words.The writer's skill is apparent in the opening lines. The first words, "For our grandparents it occurred," immediately spark the reader's interest. The quick repetition of sentence structure and, once again, the intentionally vague use of "it" ("For the baby boomers it was") effectively draw the reader in. By the third sentence, we know that this essay will address the complexity of the issue ("not simply being representative??? but creating them as well") and that the writer is fully incommand of this discussion.The rest of the essay addresses the influence of historical events and media on the values of modern society, from the "roaring twenties" to the "sixties and seventies." Insightful analysis accompanies the historical references. For example, the writer persuasively argues that prominent figures (King, but also Chavez, Abzug, and Steinham) advanced their social agendas by capitalizing on the power of the media to change public opinion.Throughout the essay, the writer uses language and syntax effectively. Word choice is precise ("cosmetics to accentuate their new bobbed haircuts"), sentences are structured to communicate ideas clearly ("There had to be another cause, and there was, the media"), and transitional phrases help move the argument forward ("Unlike the twenties, the sixties????" and "By doing so, King successfully began to change the traditional view of race.")Occasional errors do appear (e.g., note the lack of logical comparison in "women??? wore their hemlines??? shorter than the decade before them"), but they are not intrusive.Other 6 essays might be more fully developed; indeed, this essay would be stronger if the writer had gone on to discuss the media's role in Nixon's Watergate scandal and to bring the argument to its conclusion. However, even in its unfinished state, the essay does present an insightful, well-articulated discussion of the issue.5、There are some who would say that the media reflects the values of society. I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society. The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace. I offer two examples that serve well to illistrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral fibers in our society.The first medium that comes to mind is music. Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, and express new attiudes. Music is widely available to almost everyone in our society. To see how music has changed the values of our society, one needs only to look to the urban sprawl. Rap and gangsta styles of music reach millions of city teens and young adults. It's message is quite simple- violence, drugs, and sex . Young people are constantly bombarded with the message that if you want something all you have to do is to take it. The values of human life, respect for elders and children have been lost. We have gangs and random killings in the streets of most cities in our country. Are these my values? They are most certainly not. This music does not reflect the values of this society. This music is the very core of this degradation of our values. How many tricked out gang cars to you see that don't have the annoying bass rumble of Rap music vibrating out of them? This music is part of the persona of a whole generation of people. It is just as much a part of their ego as the guns, drugs, and abuse of women. Another medium that is shaping the values of our society is advertising.Advertising is everywhere, on T.V., billboards, radio, even at the ballpark. Through advertising some vendors can create "values". To illuminate my point I will use tobacco companies as an example. Joe Camel has convinced millions of young people that it is cool to smoke. TheMarlboro man has done the same. The audience is always the same. These ads are targeting young people. They have created the "value" among children that it is ok for kids to smoke. Again the values of society have been changed by a powerful media. I'm sure there are not too many parents out there who would want their children to start smoking. Another advertising media that will surely change the values of ous society is the Internet.The internet is really just the world's largest commercial launched under the veil of access of useful information. It will be interesting to see just how this new network that has brought the world together will affect our values. These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illistrate that the media can in fact change our values. As for me, I'll be out back smoking a Don Lino, on a beautiful trout stream while sipping a cold beer, waiting for the trout to rise and hoping a couple of those girls from the Coors commercial show up.评价This is a well-developed response. The four-paragraph organizational structure serves as a useful framework for the writer to develop a position on the issue.The opening paragraph presents the writer's position ("media in fact tend to create values in a society") and announces the plan to present two examples to support that position.As promised, two examples (music and advertising) follow in the next two paragraphs. The discussion of these examples is focused, relevant, and clear. Using vivid details and an emphatic writing style, the writer shows how music (especially rap and gansta music) and advertising (especially cigarette ads) have negatively influenced American values.The final paragraph is an extension of the advertising example, focusing on the Internet as part of the advertising system. While the writer does little more than speculate on the influence that the Internet might have, this point does lead the reader to the writer's lively conclusion. The vivid picture of the writer enjoying the media-defined good life ("smoking a Don Lino??? while sipping a cold beer") effectively illustrates the writer's position that the media do, indeed, influence people in our society.Overall, the reasoning is persuasive and the examples are well chosen, but the argument lacks the insight and cogency necessary for a score of 6.The ideas in the essay are expressed clearly, although precision of language is not a strong feature. Sentences are generally well formed, often adding "punch" to the writer's views. Some sentences are unnecessary, especially those that belabor the obvious ("These are just examples but I think they are effective at making my point. I think they serve to illistrate that the media can in fact change our values.") Overall, however, the writing is representative of a 5 essay.4、The media does tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.。

GRE考试写作范文IssuePeople who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it.The speaker claims that people who are the most firmly committed to an idea or policy are the same people who are most critical of that idea or policy. While I find this claim paradoxical on its face, the paradox is explainable, and the explanation is well supported empirically. Nevertheless, the claim is an unfair generalization in that it fails to account for other empirical evidence serving to discredit it.A threshold problem with the speakers claim is that its internal logic is questionable. At first impression it would seem that firm commitment to an idea or policy necessarily requires the utmost confidence in it, and yet one cannot have a great deal of confidence in an idea or policy if one recognizes its flaws, drawbacks, or other problems. Thus commitment and criticism would seem to be mutually exclusive. But are they? One possible explanation for the paradox is that individuals most firmly committed to an idea or policy are often the same people who are most knowledgeable on the subject, and therefore are in the best position to understand and appreciate the problems with the idea or policy.Lending credence to this explanation for the paradoxical nature of the speakers claim are the many historical cases of uneasy marriages between commitment to and criticism of the same idea or policy. For example, Edward Teller, the so-called father of the atom bomb, was firmly committed to Americas policy of gaining military superiority overthe Japanese and the Germans; yet at the same time he attempted fervently to dissuade the U.S. military from employing his technology for destruction, while becoming the most visible advocate for various peaceful and productive applications of atomic energy. Another example is George Washington, who was quoted as saying that all the worlds denizens should abhor war wherever they may find it. Yet this was the same military general who played a key role in the Revolutionary War between Britain and the States. A third example was Einstein, who while committed to the mathematical soundness of his theories about relativity could not reconcile them with the equally compelling quantum theory which emerged later in Einsteins life. In fact, Einstein spent the last twenty years of his life criticizing his own theories and struggling to determine how to reconcile them with newer theories.In the face of historical examples supporting the speakers claim are innumerable influential individuals who were zealously committed to certain ideas and policies but who were not critical of them, at least not outwardly. Could anyone honestly claim, for instance, that Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who in the late 19th Century paved the way for the womens rights movement by way of their fervent advocacy, were at the same time highly critical or suspicious of the notion that women deserve equal rights under the law? Also, would it not be absurd to claim that Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, historys two leading advocates of civil disobedience as a means to social reform, had serious doubts about the ideals to which they were so demonstrably committed? Finally, consider the two ideologues and revolutionaries Lenin and Mussolini. Is it even plausible that their demonstrated commitment to their own Communist and Fascist policies, respectively, belied some deep personal suspicion about the merits of these policies? To my knowledge no private writing of any of these historical figures lends any support to the claim that these leaders were particularly critical of their own ideas or policies.To sum up, while at first glance a deep commitment to and incisivecriticism of the same idea or policy would seem mutually exclusive, it appears they are not. Thus the speakers claim has some merit. Nevertheless, for every historical case supporting the speakers claim are many others serving to refute it. In the final analysis, then, the correctness of the speakers assertion must be determined on a case-by-case basis.GRE考试写作范文IssueTradition and modernization are incompatible. One must choose between them.Must we choose between tradition and modernization, as the speaker contends? I agree that in certain cases the two are mutually exclusive. For the most part, however, modernization does not reject tradition; in fact, in many cases the former can and does embrace the latter.In the first place, oftentimes so-called modernization is actually an extension or new iteration of tradition, or a variation on it. This is especially true in language and in law. The modern English language, in spite of its many words that are unique to modern Western culture, is derived from, and builds upon, a variety of linguistic traditions--and ultimately from the ancient Greek and Latin languages. Were we to insist on rejecting traditional in favor of purely modern language, we would have essentially nothing to say. Perhaps an even more striking marriage of modernization and tradition is our system of laws in the U.S., which is deeply rooted in English common-law principles of equity and justice. Our system requires that new, so-called modern laws be consistent with, and in fact build upon, those principles.In other areas modernization departs from tradition in some respects, while embracing it in others. In the visual arts, for example, modern designs, forms, and elements are based on certain timeless aesthetic ideals--such as symmetry, balance, and harmony. Modern art that violates these principles might hold ephemeral appeal due to its novelty andbrashness, but its appeal lacks staying power. An even better example from the arts is modern rock-and-roll music, which upon first listening might seem to bear no resemblance to classical music traditions. Yet, both genres rely on the same twelve-note scale, the same notions of what harmonies are pleasing to the ear, the same forms, the same rhythmic meters, and even many of the same melodies.I concede that, in certain instances, tradition must yield entirely to the utilitarian needs of modern life. This is true especially when it comes to architectural traditions and the value of historic and archeological artifacts. A building of great historic value might be located in the only place available to a hospital desperately needing additional parking area. An old school that is a prime example of a certain architectural style might be so structurally unsafe that the only practicable way to remedy the problem would be to raze the building to make way for a modern, structurally sound one. And when it comes to bridges whose structural integrity is paramount to public safety, modernization often requires no less than replacement of the bridge altogether. However, in other such cases architecturally appropriate retrofits can solve structural problems without sacrificing history and tradition, and alternative locations for new buildings and bridges can be found in order to preserve tradition associated with our historic structures. Thus, even in architecture, tradition and modernization are not necessarily mutually exclusive options.To sum up, in no area of human endeavor need modernization supplant, reject, or otherwise exclude tradition. In fact, in our modern structures, architecture andGRE考试写作范文IssueBecause 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.The speaker asserts that television and computer connectivity will soon render tourism obsolete. I agree that these technologies might eventually serve to reduce travel for certain purposes other than tourism. However, I strongly disagree that tourism will become obsolete, or that it will even decline, as a result.As for the claim that television will render tourism obsolete, we already have sufficient empirical evidence that this will simply not happen. For nearly a half-century we have been peering through our television sets at other countries and cultures; yet tourism is as popular today as ever. In fact, tourism has been increasing sharply during the last decade, which has seen the advent of television channels catering exclusively to our interest in other cultures and countries. The more reasonable conclusion is that television has actually served to spark our interest in visiting other places.It is somewhat more tempting to accept the speakers further claim that computer connectivity will render tourism obsolete. However, the speaker unfairly assumes that the purpose of tourism is simply to obtain information about other people and places. Were this the case, I would entirely agree that the current information explosion spells the demise of tourism. But, tourism is not primarily about gathering information. Instead, it is about sensory experience--seeing and heating firsthand, even touching and smelling. Could anyone honestly claim that seeing a picture or even an enhanced 3-D movie of the Swiss Alps serves as a suitable substitute for riding a touting motorcycle along narrow roads traversing those mountains? Surely not. The physical world is laden with a host of such delights that we humans are compelled to experience firsthand as tourists.Moreover, in my view tourism will continue to thrive for the same reason that people still go out for dinner or to the movies: we all need to get away from our familiar routines and surroundings from time to 6me.Will computer connectivity alter this basic need? Certainly not. In short, tourism is a manifestation of a basic human need for variety and for exploration. This basic need is why humans have come to inhabit every corner of the Earth, and will just as surely inhabit other planets of the solar system.In fact, computer connectivity might actually provide a boon for tourism. The costs of travel and accommodations are likely to decrease due to Internet price competition. Even more significantly, to the extent that the Internet enhances communication among the worlds denizens, our level of comfort and trust when it comes to dealing with people from other cultures will only increase. As a result, many people who previously would not have felt safe or secure traveling to strange lands will soon venture abroad with a new sense of confidence.Admittedly, travel for purposes other than tourism might eventually decline, as the business world becomes increasingly dependent on the Internet. Products that can be reduced to digital bits and bites can now be shipped anywhere in the world without any human travel. And the volume of business-related trips will surely decline in the future, as teleconferencing becomes more readily available. To the extent that business travelers play tourist during business trips, tourism will decline as a result. Yet it would be absurd to claim that these phenomena alone will render tourism obsolete.In sum, while business travel might decline as a result of global connectivity, tourism is likely to increase as a result. Global connectivity, especially the Internet, can only pique our curiosity about other peoples, cultures, and places. Tourism helps satisfy that curiosity, as well as satisfying a fundamental human need to experience new things first-hand and to explore the world.GRE考试写作范文IssueHigh-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication.Do high-speed means of communication, particularly television and computers, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication, as the speaker suggests? Although ample empirical evidence suggests so with respect to television, the answer is far less dear when it comes to communication via computers.Few would argue that since its inception broadcast television has greatly enhanced communication to the masses. The circulation of even the most widely read newspapers pales compared to the number of viewers of popular television news programs. Yet traditional television is a one-way communications medium, affording viewers no opportunity to engage those so-called talking heads in dialogue or respond. Of course, there is nothing inherent about television that prevents us from meaningful and thoughtful communication with each other. In fact, in televisions early days it was a fairly common occurrence for a family to gather around the television together for their favorite show, then afterwards discuss among themselves what they had seen and heard. Yet over time television has proven itself to serve primarily as a baby-sitter for busy parents, and as an means of escape for those who wish to avoid communicating with the people around them. Moreover, in the pursuit of profit, network executives have determined over time that the most effective uses of the medium are for fast-paced entertainment and advertising--whose messages are neither thoughtful nor meaningful.Do computers offer greater promise for thoughtful and reflective communication than television? Emphatically, yes. After all, media such as email and the Web are interactive by design. And the opportunity for two-way communication enhances the chances of meaningful and thoughtful communication. Yet their potential begs the question: Do these media in fact serve those ends? It is tempting to hasten that the answer isyes with respect to email; after are, weve all heard stories about how email has facilitated reunions of families and old friends, and newlong-distance friendships and romances. Moreover, it would seem that two-way written communication requires far more thought and reflection than verbal conversation. Nevertheless, email is often used to avoidface-to-face encounters, and in practice is used as a means of distributing quick memos. Thus on balance it appears that email serves as an impediment, not an aide, to thoughtful and reflective communication.With respect to Web-based communication, the myriad of educational sites, interactive and otherwise, is strong evidence that the Web tends to enhance, rather than prevent, meaningful communication. Distance learning courses made possible by the Web lend further credence to this assertion. Nonetheless, by all accounts it appears that the Web will ultimately devolve into a mass medium for entertainment and for e-commerce, just like traditional television. Meaningful personal interactivity is already yielding to advertising, requests for product information, buy-sell orders, and titillating adult-oriented content.Thus, on balance these high-speed electronic media do indeed tend to prevent rather than facilitate meaningful and thoughtful communication. In the final analysis, any mass medium carries the potential for uplifting us, enlightening us, and helping us to communicate with and understand one another. However, by all accounts, television has not fulfilled that potential; and whether the Web will serve us any better is ultimately up to us as a society.。

新GREIssue 官方范文整理1Issue test 3The best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things.Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement aboveand explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement mightor might not hold true and explain how those considerations shape your position.The following sample issue response received a score of 6:Passion is clearly necessary for a truly great idea to take hold among apeople—passion either on the part of the original thinker, the audience, or ideally both. The claim that the most lucrative subject matter for inspiring great ideas is “commonplace things” may seem initially to be counterintuitive.After all, aren’t great ideas usually marked by their extraordinarycharacter?While this is true, their extraordinary character is as often as not directly derived from their insight into things that had theretofore gone unquestioned.While great ideas certainly can arise through seemingly pure innovation... say,for example, Big Bang cosmology, which developed nearly all of its own scientific and philosophical precepts through its own process of formation, itis nevertheless equally true that such groundbreaking thought was, and is, stilllargely a reevaluation of previous assumptions to a radical degree... after all,the question of the ultimate nature of the universe, and man’s place in it, hasbeen central to human thought since the dawn of time. Commonplace things are,additionally, necessary as material for the generation of “the best ideas” sincecertainly the success among an audience must be considered in evaluating thesignificance and quality of an idea.The advent of Big Bang cosmology, which occured in rudimentary form almostimmediately upon Edwin Hubble’s first observations at the Hooker telescope inCalifornia during the early 20th century, was the most significant advance inmankind’s understanding of the universe in over 400 years. The seemingly simplefact that everything in the universe, on the very large scale, is moving awayfrom everything else in fact betrays nearly all of our scientific knowledge ofthe origins and mechanics of the universe. This slight, one might even say commonplace, distortion of tint on a handful of photographic plates carried withit the greatest challenge to Man’s general, often religiously reinforced, conception of the nature of the world to an extent not seen since the days ofGalileo. Not even Charles Darwin’s theory, though it created more of a stir thanBig Bang cosmology, had such shattering implications for our conceptions of thenature of our reality. Yet it is not significant because it introduced the question of the nature of what lies beyond Man’s grasp. A tremendous number ofmegalithic ruins, including the Pyramids both of Mexico and Egypt, Stonehenge,and others, indicate that this question has been foremost on humankind’s collective mind since time immemorial. Big Bang cosmology is so incrediblysignificant in this line of reasoning exactly because of the degree to which itchanged the direction of this generally held, constantly pondered, and veryancient train of thought.Additionally, there is a diachronic significance to the advent of Big Bangcosmology, which is that, disregarding limitations such as the quality of optical devices available and the state of theoretical math, it could have happened at any point in time. That is to say, all evidence points to roughlythe same raw intellectual capacity for homo sapiens throughout our history, ourprogress has merely depended upon the degree of it that a person happenstoinherit, a pace that has been increasing rapidly since the industrial revolution. Yet this discovery had to happen at a certain point in time or another—it cannot have been happening constantly or have never happened yetstill be present—and this point in time does have its own significance. Thatsignificance is precisely the fact that the aforementioned advent must haveoccurred at precisely the point in time at which it truly could have occured—that is to say, it marks the point in our history when we had progressedsufficiently to begin examining, with remarkable substantiated acuity, the workings of the universe across distances that would take millions of humanlifetimes to reach or to traverse. The point for the success of this advent mustnecessarily have been, additionally, the point at which the audience concernedwas capable and prepared to accept such a radical line of reasoning.Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace andthe preparedness to accept such an interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea. If the passion is absent from an inquiry bythe thinker or by the bulk of an audience, the idea will die out if it comes tofruition at all. If the material is not sufficiently commonplace to be considered by an informed audience of sufficient size, the same two hazardsexist. Given these two factors, the idea must still be found palatable and interesting by the audience if it is to hope to gain a foothold and eventuallyestablish itself in a significant fashion.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 6:This outstanding response presents a cogent, well-articulated analysis ofthe complexities of the issue by arguing that (1) great ideas develop from commonplace observations that are interpreted in a radical way; and (2) passionis required of both thinkers and the audience in order for great ideas to takehold.The argument is based on an extended example (Big Bangcosmology) and hastwo parts. The first part defines “commonplace things” as universal questions(i.e., the quest to understand the cosmos is commonplace, though complex,because it is an ancient and universal question) and places Big Bang cosmologyin context with the scientific breakthroughs of Galileo and the Pyramids ofancient Mexico and Egypt.The second part explains Big Bang as the result of a convergence of factors: both thinkers and the audience must be ready to reevaluate “previousassumptions” and accept “radical, passionate interpretations.”The argument’s careful line of reasoning is strengthened by appropriatetransitions between paragraphs (“Additionally,” “Both factors, a radical, passionate interpretation of the commonplace and the preparedness to accept suchan interpretation, are necessary for the formulation of a truly great idea,”etc.) and within paragraphs (“Not even Charles Darwin’s,” “Yet,” “that is tosay,” etc.). Fluent and precise language—advent, rudimentary, diachronic, shattering implications, megalithic ruins—and effective sentence variety alsocharacterize this response as outstanding. Finally, despite the presence of minor errors (overuse of comma and inconsistent use of ellipses in paragraph 1),this response demonstrates facility with the conventions of standard writtenEnglish.新GREIssue 官方范文整理2The following sample issue response received a score of 5:The statement above comes from the perspective that the best thinkers,inventors, and innovators are the way that they are because they explore passionately the interesting things around them. Yes, I would say that this isdefinitely true.I understand best the things that interest me, but it is only the things with which I am familiar with and understand in my surroundings. Itwould be difficult to take passionate interest in the things which I did not have available in my environment.For example, let’s consider some “idea” people in history. Theperson whoinvented the basketball hoop, or the game of volleyball, or ice skates, all hadinterest in those things before they had their brilliant ideas. I do know that the inventor of the basketball hoop used to coach a basketball team of youngboys, and they would throw the ball into a fruit basket that was nailed to thewall. Obviously, a basket has a bottom to it, and they would have to fish it outafter every successful throw. So he had the brilliant idea of cutting out the bottom of the basket. It seems so simple to us now, but nobody had ever playedbasketball like that in his day.The phrase, “commonplace things” can be rather misleading, I believe. Ithink every person has slightly different “commonplace things” in their environment depending on their interests, their financial status, and availability of items. What is commonplace for one person may never be known byanother. I take passionate interest in things having to do with sewing usingpatterns, fabrics and threads. However, my mother and grandmother are excellentseamstresses and I had the availability of learning from them. It was a “commonplace thing” for me. I have had some wonderful ideas come out of mypassion for this kind of art.Orville and Wilbur Wright had a passionate interest in things having to dowith flight, a rather ordinary thing for the sorts of birds who can fly with their wings, but certainly not people. If I had lived during the Wright brothers’time, I would probably not have had the same passionate interest infiguring out how to make humans fly, because it is not something that I wouldhave thought possible. But their dreams and visionary possibilities were muchbigger than mine would have been at that time. They not only had a passionateinterest but they were willing to experiment, to risk financial ruin and ridicule, and even put their lives on the line. So while it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commplace things, there also hasto be an element of daring to challenge “norms” and not being able to just accept things as they are. There has to be a desire to make things better and toimprove on the present.There also has to be the element of not being afraid of failure. Most ideasdo inevitably fail. Einstein is viewed today as being one of the most brilliantthinkers and “idea” people in all of history. But nobody really talks about howmany times his ideas failed. The number is quite amazing. Many people are afraidof failure, so even though they make take a passionate interest in somethingcommonplace, and have some great ideas, they may never carry them throughbecause of uncertainty that they would work. We must be willing to try!So, yes, it is true that the best ideas arise from a passionate interest incommonplace things, because these are the things that we know, these are thethings that we understand, and the things that we want to explore in evenmoredepths. But there must be more elements involved than just taking interest insomething. We must be willing to face risks of many kinds in order to separatethe ideas that fail from the ones that will triumphantly succeed.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 5:This strong response presents a well- considered analysis of the complexities of the issue by arguing that great ideas come, not only from apassionate interest in the commonplace, but also from great imagination and awillingness to succeed.The logic of the response unfolds very smoothly: paragraph 3 explores theterm “commonplace” an d offers support for the prompt’s position; paragraphs 4and 5 discuss the related issues of imagination, willingness to experiment, andovercoming failure. The examples are well chosen and generally well developed.Paragraph 2 offers a relevant, though predictable, sports example(invention of basketball hoop) to examine how commonplace things/familiarity canspark great ideas. A personal example is used in paragraph 3 to further explorethe definition of “commonplace” and illustrate how the ter m is relative to financial status and availability (though only the concept of availability is developed in this example). Paragraph 2 logically extends into paragraph 3, andthe same connection is seen between paragraphs 4 and 5.In paragraph 4 the Wright brothers are used to argue that great ideas alsocome from imagination and a willingness to experiment. The final example, inwhich Einstein is offered to illustrate the necessity of overcoming failure, isnot as fully developed as the others. The respondent does not explain whatfailures Einstein endured or how he overcame them, which makes the example lesscompelling. Overall, the analysis demonstrated in the examples is “perceptiveand clear,” but not “insightful and cogent” as required fo r a score of 6.Whilethe response expresses ideas clearly, using appropriate vocabulary and sentencevariety, it does not use language as fluently and precisely as would a typical6. Occasional wordiness/ awkwardness could be avoided with more precise diction(e.g., “There also has to be the element of not being afraid of failure,” or “Ihave had some wonderful ideas come out of my passion for this kind of art”).新GREIssue 官方范文整理3The following sample issue response received a score of 4:In agreement with the statement, many great inventions have come fromindividuals interested in commonplace things. Out of simplicity arises greatideas, and I would consider commonplace things to be simplistic. However, it ishard to say that the “best” ideas arise from passion in commonplace things,because one could argue that the best ideas involve interest in remarkablethings, which is what makes them the “best” ideas.If the statement is viewed from the standpoint of all ideas from the beginning of civilization, then the statement holds true. Examples of commonplace things are food and shelter. If a person had an abundance of foodand needed to transport it, they may have the idea to weave a basket or makesome sort of tote in order to load more at once. With that idea, eventually thepeople would think of things to make the first idea more useful, such as addingwheels to your carrying device. With shelter, first people (Cro-Magnon)may havekept out of weather and unsafe territory by using caves as shelter. From passionate interest in the common shelter a person may have come up withbrilliant ideas about structures, architecture, and construction.In concern with the opposing view that the best ideas arise from remarkablethings, one could argue that best ideas are medical breakthroughs and all otheraspects of Science. Working with substances and molecules and creatingions andisotopes is not a commonplace thing. However, it is what the people who make thescientific breakthroughs have passionate interest in expanding.Looking at the big picture, I would say that if people did not have “passionate interest in commonplace things”, then the idea that led us to theremarkable things would have never occurred. If that is true then the statementholds true because the best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though some older ideas may seem obsolete now, there was atime that without those ideas, we would still be in the dark ages.Overall, I agree with the statement. The best ideas do arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things. Though I do not consider medicalbreakthroughs coming from interest in commonplace things, our species appears tobe reaching the point in which cancer and AIDS could be considered a commonplacething. If that is true, then when someone finds a cure for cancer or AIDS itwill be one of the best ideas arising from a passionate interest in a commonplace thing. Once again reinforcing the truth of the statement.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 4:This response presents a competent analysis and conveys meaning adequately.Paragraph 2 offers appropriate and adequately developed examples from “thebeginning of civilization” to illustrate how commonplace needs inspire innovation: the need to transport food led to the invention of woven basketsand, eventually, the invention of the wheel; similarly, the need for shelter that drove “Cro-Magnon” to the caves eventually inspired “brilliant ideas aboutstructures, architecture, and construction.”Paragraph 3, which explores the “opposing view” (the best ideas arise fromremarkable things), is less developed. The respondent claims that the best ideasare “medical breakthroughs and all other aspects of Science,” without explainingwhat is meant by “Science” or why these types of ideas are the “best.” Does“Science” include engineering, computer sciences, and the social sciences? Whyare advances in science and medicine better than advances in religion the arts,or philosophy? The response also fails to acknowledge the commonplace interests(e.g., desire to improve quality of life) that drive medical/scientific research. While the response addresses two sides of the issue, it never delvesinto complexity the way a 5 or 6 would.In paragraph 4, the response comes to a new conclusion: without initialinterest in commonplace things, interest in remarkable things would be impossible. This is an interesting position that, if developed and supportedwith well-chosen examples, could lead to complex analysis. However, the conclusion is merely stated, loosely supported with generalities, and then further confounded by shaky logic in paragraph 5.Ideas are expressed with reasonable clarity and the response generallydemonstrates control of language. It is lack of complexity and logical development that keep this response from earning a higher score.新GREIssue 官方范文整理4The following sample issue response received a score of 3:How do new knowledge came into being? Sometimes it stemed from exsitingknowledge. Sometimes it was born all out of sudden. Both ways seem work well. AsI see through this question, I believe that what plays a key role in creating new ideas is a passionate interest.Throughout history, a myriad of examples help prove the importance ofinterest. Edison, the greatest inventors in the world, possessed a sharp interest ever since his childhood. In his eyes, every common things were full ofmysteries. It was his unique interest which helped him look into the machanismof things around therefore new iders came into his mind and, changed intoconceret machines facilitating our lives. Another famous example is that ofNewton. A riped apple from a tree fell onto his head one afternoon. For ordinarypeople, this kind of trivial instance would slip off their mind at once.However, Newton lost hisself in thought of the relation between objects. Finallyhe found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.On the other hand, without interest, the opportunity of great discoverieswill pass by. Most people are experiencing ordinary lives everyday. Why don’tthey come up with great ideas? Because interest is a state of skeptism, a statein which we do not stop to disclose the truth beneath a surface of commonplaces.Interest means the ability to explore the internal corelations. Therefore, witha passiontae interest, those commonplace things are no longer commonplace, andnew ideas are created.From what have been discussed above, we can see that interest serves asforce to propell the exploration of unknowns, to perfect the structure of humanknowledge, and to move towards the ultimate truth.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 3:This limited response demonstrates some competence in its analysis and inconveying meaning but is obviously flawed.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a passionate interestallows people to see beyond the commonplace and create new ideas (paragraphs 1and 3). However, the response is limited in presenting and developing this position.In paragraph 2 the response offers two relevant but underdeveloped examplesto illustrate the importance of interest in generating ideas.The Edison example is not persuasive because its development is limited togeneralities (“common things were full of mysteries...which helped him look intothe machanism of things...therefore new iders came into his mind and, changedinto conceret machines”). The response does not provide specific examples of thecommon “things” that interested Edison nor does it discuss any of Edison’sparticular ideas. Thus, it does little to advance the response’s position. TheNewton example is not penalized for historical inaccuracy. However, like theprevious example, it is overly general and underdeveloped.The response also contains an accumulation of language errors (in usage,word choice, and sentence structure) that often result in a lack of clarity. Forinstance, the rhetorical device used in paragraph 1 contains frequent errorsthat render it ineffective. The imprecise language use in the Newton example isparticularly unsettling: “Newton lost hisself in thoug ht of the relation betweenobjects. Finally he found gravitation and opened up a new era of physics.” Whilethese errors do not generally interfere with meaning, they constitute a lack oflanguage control that precludes a score of 4.新GREIssue 官方范文整理5The following sample issue response received a score of 2:The above statement reinforces my values and beliefs. I agree that the bestideas arises from a paasionate interest. I agree simply because a person must beable to personally relate to a thing in order to become passionate to the idea.The person behind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace thingshave affected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationship between the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionateinterest to the person who it has affected. A person must have a desire to buildon their passion in order to follow through on his or her idea.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 2:This response presents a seriously flawed analysis of the issue.The response agrees with the prompt by arguing that a person must be ableto relate to something in order to develop passion for it. (The connection between things one can “relate to” and “commonplace things” is implied.) Theresponse also states that passion is necessary in order for a person tofollowthrough on an idea. However, neither of these claims is supported with relevantreasons or examples.Furthermore, flawed word choice and other language control problems makethe reasoning hard to follow (particularly in sentences 4 and 5: “The personbehind the best ideas are passionate because the commonplace things haveaffected the person on a personally level or on a mutual level. The relationshipbetween the commonplace thing and the best idea unites a passionate interest tothe person who it has affected.” In those sentences th e respondent attempts toanalyze the relationship between commonplace things, passion, and ideas).Nevertheless, this response is not a 1: the respondent does provide evidence ofthe ability to understand the issue and attempts to present a position on it.The following sample issue response received a score of 1:This topic can be found to be true in many different areas. The best ideasthat people have come up with are usually founded be improving commonplacethings. For example in order to improve the effiecency of writing the typewriterwas invented, then following that the computer was invented.Comments on sample essay receiving score of 1:This response presents a fundamentally deficient discussion of the issue.The first sentence consists of generic language that can be applied to anyprompt. Thus, it neither enhances nor detracts from the analysis. The remainderof the response consists of a statement in support of the prompt and a list oftwo examples (the typewriter and the computer). The examples offered arepotentially relevant but completely undeveloped. Basic errors in usage andgrammar are pervasive, but it is primarily the inability to develop anorganizedresponse that makes this response a 1.新GREIssue官方范文。
