2019年GRE 写作新题解析（一）

2018年末，GRE写作题库更新了，此次更新共增加1道issue，3道argument，今天我们来看一下第一道新题，并给大家梳理写作思路。

Argument 新题（1）

1. The following appeared in a newsletter published by the Appleton school district.

"In a recent study more than 5,000 adolescents were asked how often they ate meals with their families. Almost 30 percent of the teens said they ate at least seven meals per week with their families. Furthermore, according to the same survey, teens who reported having the most family meals per week were also the ones least likely to have tried illegal drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. Family meals were also associated with lower rates of problems such as low grades in school, low self-esteem, and depression. We therefore recommend that families have as many meals together as possible. We predict that doing so will greatly benefit adolescents and turn troubled teens away from bad behaviors."

Write a response in which you discuss which questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation is likely to have the predicted result. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

参考翻译：在最近的研究中，5000个未成年人被问到他们和家庭成员一起就餐的频率。其中大概30%的未成年人说，他们至少每周7餐都会和家人一起吃饭。此外，根据该调查，和家人一起吃饭最多的小孩儿也刚好是最不可能尝试毒品、香烟和酒精的孩子。和家人一起就餐也与学习成绩低、自卑和抑郁有关。因此，我们建议家人尽可能在一起吃饭，我们预测，这样会在很大程度上使青少年获益，并且让那些问题青年远离不良的行为。

结论：

最后两句，即： We therefore recommend that families have as many meals together as possible. We predict that doing so will greatly benefit adolescents and turn troubled teens away from bad behaviors.

论据：

引用了一个study 的调查结果，前四句话是argument的论据，即：In a recent study more than 5,000 adolescents were asked how often they ate meals with their families. Almost 30 percent of the teens said they ate at least seven meals per week with their families. Furthermore, according to the same survey, teens who reported having the

most family meals per week were also the ones least likely to have tried illegal drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. Family meals were also associated with lower rates of problems such as low grades in school, low self-esteem, and depression.

假设：

1.青少年们说的都是真相

2. 青少年不良行为减少的真实原因是和家人用餐次数增加

逻辑图如下：

这个study调查了5000个青少年，给了一个事实性论据，其中30%的teens和家人吃饭次数最多，其中包含一条假设，即teens said=fact，青少年说的都是真话。同时，作者还从该研究得出，这些和家人吃饭最多的青少年不良行为最少，从而又有一条因果性假设，因为和家人吃更多的饭，才导致他们的不合法行为减少。最后，作者还给了一条事实性论据，和家人一起就餐与学习成绩低、自卑和抑郁有关，由以上事实性论据和假设并列推出最终的结论，家人应该尽可能多在一起吃饭，这样才能够导致青少年原理不良行为。

分析每个环节的合理性，找出逻辑漏洞如下：

结合写作要求，列提纲如下：

The author need address these questions that :

1.detailed information about the studied adolescents. （数据类问题）

2.the actual fact about adolescents saying. （结论无据）

3.the reason that account for less illegal behaviors does not necessarily lead to eat more meals with fimily.(无关因果）

4.The fact that adolescents have good behaviors is not because they have the most family meals per week to begin with. (因果倒置）

5.Granted that families have as many meals together as possible ,we cannot guarantee that teens will benefit from meals that resulted in less illegal behaviors.（因果关系错）

这就是今天为大家带来的2019GRE写作新题解析第一篇，之后会陆续为大家带来其他新题的解析。
