16The following was written as a part of an application for a small business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.“A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise.Currently,the nearest jazz club is65miles away;thus,our proposed club,the C Note,would have the local market all to itself.Plus,jazz is extremely popular in Monroe:over100,000people attended Monroe’s jazz festival last summer,several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe,and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is‘Jazz Nightly,’which airs every weeknight.Finally,a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to$1,000per year on jazz entertainment.It is clear that the C Note cannot help but make money.”It is widely held belief that it’s always wise to invest in something welcomed while not easily available in an area.Obviously,the arguer is confident in making satisfactory profit by having a jazz music club in Monroe,where jazz music is prevailing while no relevant club exists.The argument seems sound and convictive at first glance,but I am afraid that there are some flaws in it that undermined the validity.The arguer saw Jazz’s attraction in Monroe,where the highest-rated radio program is Jazz relevant.Hence he straightly declares that a Jazz club will have a good local market there.But nowadays people are busy with their jobs and might not have enough time to patronize clubs as frequently as before.Thanks to the radio and CD sets,everyone can enjoy music anytime,anywhere.For instance,on their way back home,when preparing dinner,or before sleeping.While going clubs,on the other hand,might be something too luxurious for them to afford for lacking of time.A further investigation on how often people of Monroe will go to jazz clubs is needed before the arguer can sweep out the doubt whether the C-note club will have enough customer. Jazz,as any other forms of arts,has its own relative stable group of buffs,who are likely to stick to several artists for a long time,which means people will not turn to another club or artist so easily as try another brand of milk.So if the investors of C-note want to see good reward,what they have to do is much more than just build the club and invite some jazz musicians.If they failed to offer appealing case of musicians to residents of Monroe,I’m afraid the sincere fans will burden to drive65 miles to another club or simpler,just stay at home listening to CDs of their favorite singers.The arguer quotes from a nationwide survey that approximately$1000is spent by a typical buff on jazz entertainments,and he presents it as strong proof that the C-note will have a bright future with the generosity of jazz fans.But it’s rather naïve to believe that considerable part of this$1000will be spent on C-note,because it’s highly possible that invest on Hi-Fi,CDs,music instruments occupy a large part,while spending on going clubs might be just trifles.If the arguer can present with specifieditems of the percentages spent on different kind of jazz consuming,then we can have a more precise picture of the C-note’s future.Anyway,I agree that it’s highly possible that building a jazz club in Monroe will have good rewarding.But further investigation and analysis are needed before the further conclusion and ultimate action.17The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove town newspaper.“Walnut Grove’s town council has advocated switching from EZ Disposal(which has had the contract for trash collection services in Walnut Grove for the past ten years)to ABC Waste, because EZ recently raised its monthly fee from$2,000to$2,500a month,whereas ABC’s fee is still$2,000.But the town council is mistaken;we should continue using EZ.EZ collects trash twice a week,while ABC collects only once.Moreover,EZ--which,like ABC,currently has a fleet of20trucks--has ordered additional trucks.Finally,EZ provides exceptional service:80 percent of respondents to last year’s town survey agreed that they were‘satisfied’with EZ’s performance.”The arguer’s view seems to be sound and convincing at first glance that Walnut Crove town should stick to EZ Disposal rather than turn to ABC Waste even if the former raises its monthly fee for25%because EZ are offering satisfactory service to the town.,which is worth the more money it asks for.However,I’m afraid his argument can hardly bear further consideration since there are several flaws in it.One seemingly overwhelming advantage of EZ Disposal over ABC Waste is that the former collects trash twice a week while the latter,however,only once.The arguer lays such emphasis on it that gives us the impression that EZ offers double service only for a25%rise in price compared to ABC Waste.However,we can hardly find any evidence that it’s not redundant for EZ Disposal to do so.In other word,there might not be so much trash as have to been collected twice a week in Walnut Crove. Especially,if the landfill of Walnut Crove is kept under good condition,without the problem of environment contamination,then collection of once a week is enough, which ironically shows the low efficiency of EZ Disposal.It’s absurd to ask people to pay for the low work efficiency with a reason such as double quantity of work.EZ Disposal’s ordering of additional trucks,on the other hand,is another seemingly powerful reason the arguer present to show EZ will offer better service to the town.But he fails to see the possibility that EZ has to update its trucks,which are old and out of service,rather than add to it’s fleet new trucks.It is unfair if EZ includes this updatingfee into the service price,while the people of Walnut Crove wouldn’t see any more additional improvement in the service it provides than those they deserve.The proportion that80%respondents are satisfied with EZ’s performance seems to be convincing.However,there are questionable factors:Will the respondents still be satisfied even if the price rises25%?Have the respondents got the chance to try ABC Waste’s service and thus gave a fair comparison between the two?The arguer obviously ignored these by only focus on the absolute figure.Everyone likes to get better service on relatively lower price.But when things are not the case,a second consideration with rational analysis,comparison and evaluation is needed to see whether the expensive one really worth it.24The following appeared in a memo from the president of Viva-Tech,a manufacturer of high-tech medical equipment.“In order to reduce costs,we should close some of our existing small assembly plants and build a large central plant.Grandview would be an ideal location for this new plant.First,of the locations that we have considered,Grandview has the largest adult population,so that we will be able to staff our plant quickly and easily.Second,since the average wage earned by workers in Grandview is less than that in the other locations,we should be able to keep production costs st,as an inducement for us to build there,Grandview’s town council has offered to allow us to operate for the first three years without paying city taxes.”Grandview seems to be the best choice as the new location for a large central plant of Viva-Tech in the arguer’s point of view with its sufficient adult population,low average wage level and the three years’taxes free policy offered by the town council.These certainly will be advantages for such industries as massive productivity,which need a lot of labors in low wages.When things come to high-tech industries like Viva-Tech, however,much more important things have to be taken into consideration before making decision on such important things as new plant location.High-Tech industries,unlike traditional industries like iron and steel industry or textiles industry,which need cheap massive labors without special request for high intellectual or complex techniques,look forward to their qualified employees to have specific knowledge.Viva-Tech focuses on the manufacture of high-tech medical equipments. So those without relevant backgrounds in electronically engineering,mechanicalengineering or biotech engineering may not be able to do the highly intellectual jobs. Grandview has largest adult population among the several cities in consideration.Yet we have no idea whether there are enough qualified high-tech workers and engineers, which are crucial to staff the new plant.Low wage is always appealing to employers,which also attracts the arguer to advocate locating the new plant at the low-wage Grandview.Unfortunately he pays much too attention to the cost on personnel while ignores several essential factors: first,low-wage,to some extent,implies low technique level of the city.If Viva-Tech is to set up its new plant there,it will have to spend much more on recruiting high-tech engineers and workers from outside.On the other hand,low wage with large work force may mean the poor transport condition and links with nearby cities.This may well be the drawback when the new central plant is built here by making difficult the convey of materials and products in and out the city.The arguer may insist that,anyway,the three-year tax-free is too attractive an offer to be neglected.It does appeal,yet if we ask why the town council of Grandview can provide so marvelous a policy,which is unlikely to be provided in anywhere else,we can reach the conclusion that,there must be few or even no such high-tech companies in Grandview.This in turn convinces us our assumption of relative low technical level and other disadvantages like poor transportation of the city.In sum,it’s unwise to make rash decision on building the new central plant in Grandview only taking the superficial advantages into account.More detailed survey of the technical level and other important issues should be taken.40The following appeared in a memorandum from the president of Excello Food Markets."In90towns where Excello has food markets,natural-food stores specializing in organic food products—products containing no chemical preservatives and made with foods grown without pesticides—have opened nearby as competitors.Surveys of our own customers reveal a growing concern about foods grown using pesticides or preserved with chemicals.Recently our market in Sun City participated in a local food tasting fair,and75percent of the fair goers who visited the Excello booth requested free samples of organic fruit.Such evidence indicates that to increase our profits,we should begin to stock a full line of organic food products in all our markets."At first glance,the arguer’s reasoning seems to be quite sound.According to his conclusion,the profit of his company will be raised if they stock a full line of organic food products in all their markets.But unfortunately,if we make a careful consideration of his evidence,doubt will be cast on this conclusion and apprehension will be heaped on this company’s future performance.First of all,the results of the survey conducted by this company are neither relevant nor convincing.It only implies that customers’concern about foods grown using pesticides or preserved with chemicals is increasing,while it doesn’t necessarily mean that these customers will give up eating these foods and turn to organic foods.They may still have the non-organic foods,since it’s common sense that non-organic foods are usually cheaper than organic foods.Their consideration about price may exceed the concern about whether the food is organic or not.Also,the survey just gives us a description of the customers’psychological characteristics,not their realistic behaviors.As we know,although sometimes,behavior may totally reflect people’s psychological state,in most of the cases,one’s behavior is affected by many other factors.Therefore when we try to get a conclusion about one’s behavior just from his or her psychological preference,we should always be aware of making mistakes.In this case,the customers in the survey may still purchase non-organic foods under the influence of other unforeseeable factors.When we probe into the result of the food testing fair,we may find even bigger flaws in it.Firstly,it was only carried out in Sun City,but the arguer applies its result to all the company’s markets while doesn’t show us whether Sun City is a representative market of the whole markets.Secondly,it is noticed that those samples of organic fruit is offered for free,not for sale.So we have every reason to be doubtful about that if these foods are on sale,whether there are still so many people choose to buy them. Thirdly,the method of the statistics used in this case also arouses skepticism.It only tells us75percent of the fair goers requested the sample,while doesn’t mention a word about what proportion of the whole citizen in this city the fair goers stand for?If the fair goers only stand for a tiny proportion of the whole city,we should not be so sure about the conclusion that the Sun City is an organic-food-loving market.After pointing out so many obvious flaws in the argument,now we can say that the reasons used to support the conclusion cannot be relied on.Before any real commercial actions are taken,the company has to better its evaluations of the situation of its markets.More detailed and reliable surveys should be taken if the company wants to make out a profitable plan and avoid undesirable risks.更多GRE写作资料下载：GRE作文全攻略第二版下载GRE-Issue题目大纲-教育类大纲..06红宝核心词汇GRE-Issue题目大纲-政治大纲GRE-Issue题目大纲-科技大纲GRE写作-Issue题目大纲-历史大纲GRE-Issue题目大纲-文化艺术大纲GRE-Issue题目大纲-通用顺序GRE-Issue题目大纲-人与社会大纲GRE-Issue题目大纲-sentencesgre-Issue分类下载gre写作经典200句GRE作文电子书2.0版（基本囊括所有GRE作文资料）GRE AW ISSUE所有高频题详细提纲新东方张雷冬老师的argument课堂笔记完美重排版gre写作必背单词和短语下载武汉新东方GRE作文——主讲：童玲gre写作--Issue高频题优秀习作汇总下载gre-Issue分类下载gre写作经典200句Argument题库所有242道题目的分析中文argument必备资料（经典精华强化版）GRE issue分类argument分析写作替换词GRE AW ISSUE所有高频题详细提纲下载Issue官方主题范文60篇GRE写作电子书（内含名师讲义，写作方法，提纲等）/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2290106年至今GRE作文机经频率统计/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=22900E-rater原理分析及建议/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=22855关于GRE作文题库以及题号改变的完全总结/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=22850GRE作文战略级别指导/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=23355GRE作文拿高分的八个必须/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=23373GRE备考资料-GRE写作Issue论据库/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=23448GRE写作分类高频机经./bbs/viewthread.php?tid=23480GRE作文常见误区总结/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=2357752The following appeared in a memo to the human resources manager at Baobob Inc.,a large architectural firm."Several well-known,retired architects were interviewed in Architecture Today about changes in the field.Only one had earned a college degree in architecture.All others had come into the field at an early age by serving apprenticeships that required them to work under the direct supervision of an experienced architect.Several of the colleges that we recruit from report that many promising architecture students leave school early in their undergraduate career. Therefore,because finding talented architecture graduates is becoming more difficult,Baobob Inc.should start an aggressive apprenticeship program and hire students who express an interest in architecture directly out of high school rather than wait for them to get out of college."In this argument,the arguer recommends that Baobob Inc.,a large architectural firm, should start an aggressive apprenticeship program and hire students who have interests in architecture directly out of high school.This recommendation is based on the inquiry that in the several well-known,retired architects who were interview in Architecture Today,only one has a college degree in architecture.In addition,he cites the report of several architecture colleges,which said many promising architecture students leave school before graduate.The argument suffers from several critical fallacies.First,the arguer fails to take into account that the society in which the famous architects live is different from today.The main one is that the society is developed rapidly during the later of the20th centuray,especially during the past twenty years, so the level of life,education and technology have go up a big step.For example,it is well known that in the early days going to high school was luxurious and only wealth people could afford the high fees.But today there are so many high colleges that almost everyone has an opportunity to make a further study only if you can pass the entrance examination.That the architects mentioned in the argument rarely have college degree may contribute to the lack of high colleges and funds,not because that without a college degree is helpful for them to be well known in the circle of architect. Second,the arguer commits a fallacy of hasty generalization.In the argument,the arguer cites the report that many promising architecture student leave school early before graduate,but it is doesn’t mention how they work after leaving school and how many of them has developed into excellent architects.In addition the arguer does not provide evidences that the graduate architectural students are less competent than the undergraduate ones.It does not come to the conclusion that without a college degree is beneficial for the architects while with one will damper the graduate architects reaching to the success.To sum up,starting an aggressive apprenticeship program and hiring students who express an interest in architecture directly out of high school rather than waiting for them to get out of college does not promise to be helpful.To strength the argument,the arguer should have to provide the providence that the graduated students are less excellent than the undergraduate ones.To better valuate the recommendation,we would need more information that the college degree will be a debacle to the success.61The following appeared in a report by the School District of Eyleria."Nationally,the average ratio of computers to students in kindergarten through grade12(K-12) is1:cators indicate that this is very good ratio.This means that across the country,all students have access to and can use computers daily in their classrooms.In Eyleria's K-12 schools,the ratio of computers to students is1:7.This number is sufficient to ensure that all of Eyleria's students,by the time they graduate from high school,will be fully proficient in the use of computer technology.Thus,there is no reason to spend any of the schools'budget on computers or other technology in the next few years."Conclusion of this argument is that schools of Eyleria should no more spend budget on computers or other technology in the next few years.The author’s reason is solely that there is high ratio of computer using within students in national average or even in Eyleria.The argument is unconvincing because it commits several fallacies like cited below.Firstly,the conclusion that“all students have access to and can use computers daily in their classrooms”is not based upon sufficient evidences.All we could know from the argument is that the average ratio of computer using in k-12students may be high,but the author has never quoted other students’conditions besides k-12ones,nor has he/she ever dropped a word into the trend of using computer.How could he/she know that other students also attach importance in using computer just as k-12ones?We may imagine that if the ratio of students to computer,who are in the grade besides k-12,is much lower than the k-12average,then the conclusion will be weaken. Secondly,the ratio of computers to students in Eyleria,which is1:7,is apparently lower than national average ratio,which is1:5.From this fact we could realize that the popularization of computer in Eyleria is not so well developed as the average.The arguer has never concerned about what is the criteria of depending whether the ratio is“good”,as he/she says.And there also exists a doubtful point,that as time goes by, the computer technology and the learning surroundings or conditions of which may change a lot,how could we draw a conclusions that the students will keep on with their enthusiasm of learning or using computer and being fully proficient in it,when theypass from k-12to high school?Apparently,here lacks of convincing points.Thirdly,given that the common use of computer in Eyleria does exist and does have its tendency to increase in the future,the situation of other fields of technology remains unknown because the author has never refer to these.While this may be the same as computer in some cases,it is equally possible that only few categories of knowledge has attract educators’attentions,and some may need to be well developed.In sum,the author makes many logical errors,thus his opinion is highly unacceptable. If he/she had taken the above problems into account more seriously and incisively,the argument would be better.73The following appeared in a memo from a manager of a car dealership."Ten years ago,long-term car leasing became available in our country of Mohilia as an alternative to outright car ownership,and leasing has steadily risen in popularity.For each of the last five years,the number of people leasing new cars has surpassed the number buying new cars.The average age of cars driven in Mohilia is six years;hence,if new car leases again outnumber purchases this year,it is likely that the majority of drivers will be driving leased,not individually owned,cars.Therefore,we should change the focus of our business from selling cars to leasing them."In this argument,the arguer advocates that his company should shift the focus of their business from selling cars to leasing cars.To support the argument,the arguer assumes that long-term car leasing has steadily risen in popularity in his country of Mohilia.Meanwhile,to support the recommendation,he assumes that the majority of drivers will be driving leased instead of individually owned cars if new car leases again outnumber purchases this year.However,this argument suffers from several critical fallacies though it seems logical at first glance.The main problem in this argument is that the fact that the number leasing news cars business surpassing buying new cars does not necessarily imply a steady increase of car leasing business.The arguer cites that the number of people leasing new cars has surpassed the number buying new cars and again the new car leases outnumber purchases this year.Although these statistics has justified that car leasing business inthis Mohilia is prosperous,there is no guarantee that new car leases is rising.The arguer’s assumption of rising in car leasing business is completely unfounded.Another point worth considering is that the arguer fails to take into account profit factor that would lend support to the decision he made.Even if the new car leasing business will see a boom shortly,no evidence show that this business is profitable for his company.It is possible that running a car selling business would be more lucrative compared with car leasing for this company.It is equally possible that his company is not experienced in car leasing business and is not guaranteed to overshoot other rivals in this field,or share certain proportion of the market at least.As it stands,the argument is not convincing and the decision should be reconsidered. To strengthen the argument,the arguer would have to provide more evidence that car leasing is assuredly rising.To better evaluate the decision,he should demonstrate that car leasing is profitable for this company in the long run.79The following appeared in a magazine for the trucking industry."The Longhaul trucking company was concerned that its annual accident rate(the number of accidents per mile driven)was too high.It granted a significant pay increase to its drivers and increased its training standards.It also put strict limits on the number of hours per week each driver could drive.The following year,its trucks were involved in half the number of accidents as before the changes were implemented.A survey of other trucking companies found that the highest-paid drivers were the least likely to have had an accident.Therefore,trucking companies wishing to reduce their accident rate can do so simply by raising their drivers'pay and limiting the overall number of hours they drive."The arguer suggests that trucking companies should simply raise their drivers’pay and limit the overall number of hours they drive to reduce their accident rate.To support his recommendation,the arguer cites an example of the Longhual trucking company successfully reducing its annual accident rate and a survey of other truckingcompanies that the highest-paid drivers were the least likely to have had an accident. However,simply by raising drivers’pay and limiting the overall number of hours they drive might be far from being effective in reducing the accidents.To begin with,it might be true,as the survey indicates,that higher-paid drivers were less likely to have an accident,but it does not follow that the higher pay is the causal of less risk to have accidents.The arguer might have ignored other factors that have some correlation or causal relation with less likelihood to have an accidents,such as what have been mentioned:higher training standards,strict limits on the number of hours per week each driver could drive,and etc.Or else not mentioned in the argument,for example,the highest-paid drivers are senior drivers who are skillful in driving and have more experience.In addition,admittedly,the Longhual trucking company might reach a success in decrease its annual accident rate to50percent by granting three effective measures, but the annual accident rate might not decrease to an ideal degree.To reduce its annual accident rate to an ideal degree,more actions should be carried out,such as limiting the continuous driving hours to prevent drivers from being too tired.As we all know,tiredness is a significant cause of accident.What’s more,situations in different company differ greatly,so that,each company should take different measures against its own problem which mainly cause the high accident rates rather than simply raising drivers’pay and limiting the overall number of driving hours.Consequently,for lack of some details of the Longhaul trucking company and the survey,the arguer’s suggestion is not acceptable.More factors should be taken into account in reducing the annual accidents according to the feature of different trucking company.88The following appeared in a newsletter about health published in the country of Sauria. "According to Sauria's leading nutritional experts,a diet high in complex carbohydrates,and low in fat is optimal for good health and longevity.Because this was the diet of the people who lived in ancient Sauria,one would expect them to have had long and healthy lives.Yet the mummified remains of Sauria's ruling classes from two to three thousand years ago show theexistence of many medical problems among the ancient Saurians,including dental problems, elevated blood pressure,obesity,heart disease,and early mortality.Clearly,the diet of the ancient Saurians was responsible for these problems.The high incidence of high blood pressure,obesity,and heart disease in Sauria today even among those who have tried low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets further proves that Sauria's leading nutritional experts are wrong."By considering the low-fat,high-carbohydrate diets of the ancient Saurians and the variety of medical problems of them,the author arrives at the conclusion that nutritional experts are totally wrong to recommend people to apply such a diet as effective way to ensure good health and longevity.What’s more,the author insists that the high incidence of high blood pressure,obesity and heart disease actually stem from this diet.Plausible as it may seem,the author’s argument leaves much to be questioned.As we all know,all lives are evolving and so are human beings.Both the environment and the physical situation have changed a lot from ancient Sauria to present.Although mummified remains of ancient Sauria’s people show the existence of many medical problems much like what are prevailing today in Sauria,the author ignores the fact that these mummies were among the ruling classes in lifetime.This means that they were able to get more than sufficient nutrition,which may have led to their healthy problems.The average people of ancient Sauria,however,might not have been so lucky as to have meat and fish in everyday life,and consequently their diets were really the same as the one recommended by expert today.If they had been made into mummies,we might have found that they were free from high blood pressure,obesity, heart disease and other problems caused by high-fat,low carbohydrate diet.The existence of mortality in ancient Sauria,which has largely diminished today,also proves that the medical condition of ancient Sauria is poor.And this limitation may account for a large portion of diseases assaulted ancient Sauria.Although the average life span of ancient Saurians might not been very long,it must not have been the fault of this low-fat,high carbohydrate diet.And the author also makes a lethal mistake by reverting the relationship between cause and result.He/she tries to convince us that it is this low-fat,high-carbohydrate diet that causes those healthy problems modern Saurians have today.Yet if we think otherwise,it is much more possible that those who have been struck by those disease are trying to improve their health by applying this low-fat,high-carbohydrate diet.After a period of low-fat diet,these people may have seen ameliorations of their health,their blood pressure decreased,their weights go down and so does heart attack rate.The improvements of life standard also bring troubles to modern Saurians.It may be easier for normal modern Saurians to get as much as possible high-fat food than the ruling classes ancient Saurians and therefore it is quite natural that they will suffer the same diseases as those ancient riches.A low-fat,high-carbohydrate diet must be helpful to see to this condition.。

题目题材：食品gre argument35题目：The following appeared in the summary of a study on headaches suffered by the residents of Mentia.Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a medicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades food-processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia.提纲：Salicylates may not have the same effect as aspirin in treating headaches although they are of the same chemical family.Other factors may also lead to the decline in the number of headaches in the study mentioned above.。
2019年GRE写作题库范文：生动剖析写作
2019年GRE写作题库范文：生动剖析写作GRE写作题库范文：生动剖析写作GRE写作题目：Too much time, money, and energy are spent developing new and more elaborate technology. Society should instead focus on maximizing the use of existing technology for the immediate benefit of its citizens.GRE写作范文：I must say that I reject this statement. While it is true that we need to support society as much as possible with current technology, that does not in any way mean that we should stop progressing simply because our current technology cannot handle all the problems we have brought to it. Does that mean that we should simply accept the status quo and make do? No, I don’t think so. To do so would be tantamount to adopting a fatalistic approach; I think most people would reject that.Technology has helped, and it has hurt. Without it, we would never have our standard of living, nor quality of nutrition, expectation of a long and productive life span, and the unshakable belief that our lives can be made even better. But it has also brought us universal pollution, weapons so powerful as to be capable of rendering us extinct, and the consequent fear for our survival as species and as a planet. Technology is indeed a double-edged sword. And yet, I still have to argue in its favor, because without it, we have no hope.Some might argue that we would be better off without technology. They might say that a return to a less technologically driven approach to life would have the benefits of reducing stress and allowing us to live simpler, happier lives, like those of our forebears. Such an idea is seductive, so much so that much of art and all of nostalgia are devoted to it. But upon closer inspection, one realizes that such a move would only return us to a life of different kinds of stress, one of false simplicity, one fraught with danger. It would be a life without antibiotics where a minor cut could prove deadly. It would be a life where childbirthis the main killer of women, and where an emergency is dealt with in terms of hours and days instead of minutes and hours;a life where there are no phones or cars or planes or central heating, no proven drug therapies to treat mental illness, no computers. Would this world really make people happy?What we already have, we have. And since the only way to move is forward, instead of allowing ourselves to be paralyzed by fear and worry, we need to learn how to clean up the pollution we have caused, and how to deal with a world that feeds on weapons and mass destruction. Doing these things means having to move away from technology into a more difficult realm, that of diplomacy and compromise： to move from the bully stance of “I am bigger and better and I have more toys and so I win” to a place where everyone wins.Technology is the thing that will allow people to do that. But, advanced as it is, it is still in its infancy. We have to allow it to grow up and mature in order to reap the real rewards that it can bring. And there are even greater rewards ahead of us than what the world has alreadyexperienced. When technology is pushed to the outer edge,that is where serendipitous discoveries can occur. This has been seen throughout technological advancement, but the easiest example is probably the space program which made us think, really hard, about how to do things in a different environment. It gave us telecommunications, new fabrics and international cooperation. Paramedical devices, so that people can be treated even as they are being transported to the hosptal, are a direct development of that technology. None of this would have happened in the time frame that it did if we had not pushed for technological advancement. If we had decided to “focus on maximizing the use of existing technology” instead of foolishly reaching for the stars, we would not have made those discoveries which now are the bedrock of the 21st century.GRE写作分析：字数：651语言：平实的语句完全没有网络流行模板的痕迹，也是很多过了6级的考生通过练习能够达到的水平。
gre作文北美范文
gre作文北美范文英文回答：Well, when it comes to the issue of whether or not students should be required to take the GRE for admission to graduate school, I believe there are both pros and cons to consider. On the one hand, the GRE provides a standardized way for admissions committees to compare applicants from different academic backgrounds. It can also serve as a way for students to showcase their academic abilities and potential for success in a graduate program. For example, when I was applying to graduate school, my GRE scores helped to offset a lower GPA and demonstrate my readiness for the rigors of a graduate program.On the other hand, some argue that the GRE is not a true measure of a student's potential for success in graduate school. They claim that it places too much emphasis on test-taking skills rather than actual academic ability. In addition, the cost and time commitment requiredto prepare for and take the GRE can be a burden for some students, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. For instance, I have a friend who struggled with standardized tests and felt that her GRE scores did not accurately reflect her true academic potential.Overall, I think that the decision of whether or not to require the GRE for graduate school admissions should be made on a case-by-case basis. Some programs may find the GRE to be a useful tool for evaluating applicants, while others may place more emphasis on other aspects of the application, such as letters of recommendation or writing samples. Ultimately, the goal should be to identify themost qualified and capable students for admission, and the GRE is just one of many factors to consider in that process.中文回答：对于是否应该要求学生参加GRE以获得研究生入学资格的问题，我认为有利有弊。

2019年GRE写作题库范文：新创意
2019年GRE写作题库范文：新创意GRE写作题目：Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals.When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone.真正有创意的想法并非来自于群体而是来自于个人。
当群体试图创新的时候，它的成员之间会被迫相互妥协，结果就是新想法趋于弱化而更接近于传统。
绝大部分新想法都是来自于独立工作的个人。
GRE写作正文：I agree with the speaker on that truly innovative ideas arise from individuals.Nevertheless, it is unfair to claim unilaterally that the groups tend to weaken creative ideas without thinking of their positive effects on the ideas; itis equally important for groups to examine, modify, or even reject the ideas.First of all, truly innovative ideas are destined toarise from individuals in that inter-personal thinkingprocess is so far impossible. This is to say, when we sitstill and have a cluster of phenomena, theories, statistics and so forth of a certain issue in our mind, we are thinkingit over yet with no assistance at all. After all it is impossible for one to intrude into other's mind. Followingthis principle, innovative ideas spark off during the process of meditation, and they are the produced by one's own effort. It is equally possible, however, for people to be inspired byeach other, yet this is by no means assistance in thinking. Clues, hints, inspirations are to remind people of things ignored or taken for granted, but have nothing to do with the process of thinking, that is, to sort out the whole vision and draw conclusion. In one word, innovative ideas arise from meditation, which is solely limited within one body, one brain. Therefore innovative ideas are always the product of individual's work.Nevertheless, it does not suggest that innovative ideas then have nothing to do with group work, and actually it is just the opposite. When a novel thought is brought up, it is of great importance to fully evaluate its validity, feasibility, and consequences if carried out. This point need no further illustration if we think of a father whoresolutely stops his 6-year-old son from playing matches. The kid might have intended to try something new, driven by an innovative idea, yet the whole house might have caught fire also since the boy is incapable of dealing with accidents. This is the same case in academic fields. In a chemistry lab for example, a novel route design of synthesizing a new compound is never carried out without further evaluation. Practical conditions such as equipments, reagents, and economic efficiency, namely yield per cost, are always taken into consideration and sometimes restrict the application of those ideas.This is to say, innovation is usually good but not always practicable. This claim is fully demonstrated in the political field. Governors of all levels must take holistic views of the situation and make balanced decision in order to avoid mistakes; innovative ideas alone cannot justify theirpracticability and goodwill to others. For instance, when we look back, the development of plastic industry has resulted in great loss in the global ecosystem. Thus we see the disastrous consequences of carrying out such innovative yet premature ideas.Hence, it is necessary for the groups to assess, remedy, and conclude the value and use of innovative ideas. All innovative ideas should be brought to discussions. With the clash of skeptical attitude of others to the advocating behavior of the thinker, fallacies made in a haste can be easily found and eliminated, which rectifies, sometimes supplements the idea. I don't agree with the speaker onhis/her judgment of group work as compromising, weakening and conventionalizing innovation. Group work promotes those justified and useful innovative ideas and rejects those invalid, sometimes dangerous ones, as we see the case between father and son, in a chemistry lab, in all nations around the world. Only after the group censorship can the innovative ideas be carried out and benefit people, and this is the time when its innovativeness is fully appreciated.In conclusion, I concede that most original ideas arise from individuals, yet I believe the group effort on these ideas should never be downplayed. It is the group that judge,reject or develop these ideas; this process is equally important with the innovative thinking.。
gre北美范文满分范文
gre北美范文满分范文下面是一篇GRE官方给出满分的ARGUMENT范文，我们来一起赏析，看看它为何能scored six (先读文章，再看我的点评)The following appeared as part of an article in a daily newspaper:"Most companies would agree that as the risk of physical injury occurring on the job increases, the wages paid to employees should also increase. Hence it makes financial sense for employers to make the workplace safer: they could thus reduce their payroll expenses and save money."Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.北美GRE范文首段This argument states that it makes financial sense for employers to make the workplace safer because by making the workplace safer then lower wages could be paid to employees. This conclusion is based on the premise that as the list of physical injury increases, the wages paid to employees should also increase. Howeveer, there are several assumptions that may not necessarily apply to this argument. For example, the costs associated with making the workplace safe must outweigh the increased payroll expenses due to hazardous conditions. Also, one must look at the plausability of improving the work environment. And finally, because most companies agree that as the risk of injury increases so will wages doesn\'t necessarily mean that the all companies which have hazardous work environments agree.北美GRE作文范文中间段1The first issue to be addressed is whether increased labor costs justify large capital expenditures to improve the work environment. Clearly one could argue that if making the workplace safe would cost an exorbitant amount of money in comparison to leaving the workplace as is and paying slightly increased wages than it would not make sense to improve the work environment. For example, if making the workplace safe would cost $100 million versus additional payroll expenses of only $5,000 per year, it would make financial sense to simply pay the increased wages. No business or business owner with any sense would pay all that extra money just to save a couple dollars and improve employee health and relations. To consider this, a cost benefitanalysis must be made. I also feel that although a cost benefit analysis should be the determining factor with regard to these decisions making financial sense, it may not be the determining factor with regard to making social, moral and ethical sense.北美GRE范文中间段2This argument also relies on the idea that companies solely use financial sense in analysing improving the work environment. This is not the case. Companies look at other considerations such as the negative social ramifications of high on-job injuries. For example, Toyota spends large amounts of money improving its environment because while its goal is to be profitable, it also prides itself on high employee morale and an almost perfectly safe work environment. However, Toyota finds that it can do both, as by improving employee health and employee relations they are guaranteed a more motivated staff, and hence a more efficient staff; this guarantees more money for the business as well as more safety for the employees.北美GRE写作范文中间段3Finally one must understand that not all work environments can be made safer. For example, in the case of coal mining, a company only has limited ways of making the work environment safe. While companies may be able to ensure some safety precautions, they may not be able to provide all the safety measures necessary. In other words, a mining company has limited ability to control the air quality within a coal mine and therefore it cannot control the risk of employees getting blacklung. In other words, regardless of the intent of the company, some jobs are simply dangerous in nature.北美GRE范文末端In conclusion, while at first it may seem to make financial sense to improve the safety of the work environment sometimes it truly does not make financial sense. Furthermore, financial sense may not be the only issue a company faces. Other types of analyses must be made such as the social ramifications of an unsafe work environment and the overall ability of a company to improve that environment (i.e。
GRE作文高分范文
GRE作文高分范文In a study of reading habits of Leeville citizens conducted bythe University of Leeville, most respondents said they preferredliterary classics as reading material. However, a follow-up studyconducted by the same researchers found that the type ofbook most frequently checked out of each of the public librariesin Leeville was the mystery novel. Therefore, it can be concludedthat the respondents in the first study had misrepresented theirreading habits.This argument is based on two separate surveys of the citizens of Leeville, conducted by theUniversity of Leeville. In the first survey, most respondents said that their preferred readingmaterial was literary classics. A follow-up study by the same researchers found that mystery novelswere the most frequently checked out books from each of the public libraries in Leeville. The arguerconcludes that the respondents in the first study therefore misrepresented their own readinghabits. This argument does not follow the facts and is therefore unconvincing due to several flawsinlogic.First of all, it is possible that none of the citizens who responded to the first survey wereparticipants in the second survey. Statistically speaking, it is entirely possible that the first surveycontained a greater majority of literary classics readers than are present in the general populationof Leeville. The difference in the first study and the study of the books that were actually checkedout from the library may purely be that the respondents had different interests in literature, therefore disallowing the arguer’s conclusion that the first group misrepresented itspreferredreading material.Secondly, it is possible that the difference in the survey results could be attributed to the lack ofavailability of literary classics in the Leeville public libraries. Simply put, the library may havethousands of mystery novels available for checkout but very fewliterary classics in their collections. Leeville citizens may actually prefer to read literary classics - the public libraries simply may not havethem for the citizens to check out and read. Another possibility is that the Leeville public librariesrestrict the checkout of literary classics - perhaps treating the books as a type of "reference" material that must be read inside the library and cannot be checked out. Furthermore, it is possiblethat no matter how many literary classics the Leeville public libraries have, the citizens have readthem all in the past, perhaps many times over, and they are therefore not checked out. Thesepossibilitiesfurther weaken the argument that the first respondents misrepresented their readinghabits.Thirdly, literary classics are the type of book that people tend to buy for personal collections ratherthan checking them out of a library. It is a distinct possibility that the citizens of Leeville purchaseliterary classics to read and then keep in home libraries rather than checking them out of thelibrary. Leeville citizens may prefer to read literary classics and therefore buy them for their ownpersonal collections, thus checking other types of reading materials out of the library rather thanbuying them to own forever. The arguer’s conclusion that the first set of respondentsmisrepresented their reading habits is critically weakened by this possibility.Finally, this argument does not account for the possibility that the survey samples themselves wereflawed.There is no indication given about how many people were surveyed, the demographicsinvolved, or the specific locations involved. For example, richer people would tend not to visitpublic libraries but they are possibly more predisposedto reading literary classics. Similarly, peoplewho visitpublic libraries may be more predisposed to reading mystery novels than literary classics. Without knowing therelationship between those first surveyed and those who visit the publiclibraries, it is not possible to draw a proper conclusion about the accuracy of the firstgroup’sstatements.In summary, the arguer fails to convinceby jumping to a conclusion that fails to hold up toanalysis. To strengthen the argument, the arguer needs to find further research that eliminatesthese other possibilities thatpreclude the judgment that the first group of respondentsmisrepresented their reading habits.参考译文"在一项由Leeville大学就Leeville市民阅读习惯所作的研究中，绝大部分受访对象称,他们偏爱将文学名著作为其阅读材料。

GRE写作满分范文1The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper."Five years ago, we residents of Morganton voted to keep the publicly owned piece of land known as Scott Woods in a natural, undeveloped state. Our thinking was that, if no shopping centers or houses were built there, Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as a natural parkland. But now that our town planning committee wants to purchase the land and build a school there, we should reconsider this issue. If the land becomes a school site, no shopping centers or houses can be built there, and substantial acreage英亩数,面积would probably be devoted to athletic fields. There would be no better use of land in our community than this, since a large majority of our children participate in sports, and Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as natural parkland."This letter to the editor begins by stating the reasons the residents of Morganton voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state. The letter states that the entire community could benefit from an undeveloped parkland. The residents of the town wanted to ensure that no shopping centers or houses would be built there. This, in turn, would provide everyone in the community with a valuable resource, a natural park.The letter then continues by addressing the issue of building a school on the land. The author reasons that this would alsobenefit the entire community as a natural parkland since much of the land would be devoted to athletic fields. The author of the letter comes to the conclusion that building a school on the land would be the best thing for everyone in the community.This letter is a one-sided argument about the best use of the land known as Scott Woods. The author may be a parent whose child would benefit from a new school, a teacher who thinks a school would boost the community, or just a resident of Morganton. Regardless of who the author is, there are many aspects of this plan that he or she has overlooked or chosen to ignore.Using a piece of land to build a school is not the same thing as using it for a natural parkland. While all the members of the community could potentially benefit from a parkland, only a percentage of the population would realistically benefit from a new school. The author fails to recognize people like the senior citizens of the community. What interest do they have in a new school? It only means higher taxes for them to pay. They will likely never to and utilize the school for anything. On the other hand, anyone can go to a park and enjoy the natural beauty and peacefulness. The use of the land for a school would destroy the benefit of a park for everyone. In turn, it would supply a school only to groups of people in exactly the right age range, not too young or too old, to reap the benefits.Another point the author stresses is that the use of the land for things like athletic fields somehow rationalizes the destruction of the park. What about children who don't play sports? Without the school, they could enjoy the land for anything. A playing field is a playing field. Children are not going to go out there unless they are into sports. There are manychildren in schools who are not interested in or are not able to play sports. This is yet another group who will be left out of the grand benefits of a school that the author talks about.The author's conclusion that "there would be no better use of land in our community than this...""is easily arguable. The destruction of Scott Woods for the purpose of building a school would not only affect the ambience of Morganton, it would affect who would and would not be able to utilize the space. If the residents as a whole voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state, this argument will not sway their decision. The use of the land for a school will probably benefit even less people than a shopping center would. The whole purpose of the vote was to keep the land as an asset for everyone. The only way to do this is to keep it in an undeveloped state. Using the land for a school does not accomplish this.Comments:This outstanding response begins somewhat hesitantly; the opening paragraphs summarize but do not immediately engage the argument. However, the subsequent paragraphs target the central flaws in the argument and analyze them in almost microscopic detail.The writer's main rebuttal points out that "using a piece of land to build a school is not the same thing as using it for natural parkland." Several subpoints develop this critique, offering perceptive reasons to counter the argument's unsubstantiated assumptions. This is linked to a related discussion that pointedly exposes another piece of faulty reasoning: that using land for athletic fields "rationalizes the destruction of the park."The extensively developed and organically organized analysis continues into a final paragraph that takes issue with theargument's conclusion that "there would be no better use of land in our community than this."Diction and syntax are varied and sophisticated, and the writer is fully in control of the standard conventions. While there may be stronger papers that merit a score of 6, this response demonstrates insightful analysis, cogent development, and mastery of writing. It clearly earns a 6.GRE写作满分范文2The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper."Five years ago, we residents of Morganton voted to keep the publicly owned piece of land known as Scott Woods in a natural, undeveloped state. Our thinking was that, if no shopping centers or houses were built there, Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as a natural parkland. But now that our town planning committee wants to purchase the land and build a school there, we should reconsider this issue.

There would be no better use of land in our community than this, since a large majority of our children participate in sports, and Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as natural parkland."The author's argument is weak. Though he believes Scott Woods benefits the community as an undeveloped park, he also thinks a school should be built on it. Obviously the author is not aware of the development that comes with building a school besides the facilities devoted to learning or sports. He does not realize that parking lots will take up a substantial area of property, especially if the school proposed is a high school. We are notgiven this information, nor the size of the student body that will be attending, nor the population of the city itself, so it is unclear whether the damage will be great or marginal. For a better argument, the author should consider questions like what sort of natural resources are present on the land that will not remain once the school is built? Are there endangered species whose homes will be lost? And what about digging up the land for water lines? It is doubtful whether the integrity of Scott Woods as natural parkland can be maintained once the land has been developed. It is true that a school would probably not cause as much damage as a shopping center or housing development, but the author must consider whether the costs incurred in losing the park-like aspects of the property are worth developing it, when there could be another, more suitable site. He should also consider how the city will pay for the property, whether taxes will be raised to compensate for the expense or whether a shopping center will be built somewhere else to raise funds. He has not given any strong reasons for the idea of building a school, including what kind of land the property is, whether it is swampland that will have to be drained or an arid, scrubby lot that will need extensive maintenance to keep u p t h e a t h l e t i c g r e e n s .

In other words, I do agree with the proposition, subject to the proviso that the achievement of wisdom may well also involve other traits or attributes.Having qualified my answer somewhat, I must endorse the principles put forth in the quotation. Overlooking -- or, perhaps, forgetting -- is a crucial skill one needs to master in order to navigate theoften-treacherous paths of life without undue torment. From my own experience, and from observations of friends, family members and business associates, I am well aware of the pitfalls which await those who fail to overlook the petty, the unnecessary and the irrelevant.In modern America, as it happens, the importance of overlooking is probably greater than ever before. Even a person trying to lead a quiet, simple life encounters an endless stream of annoyances, errors and petty demands such as paperwork, filing numbers and taxes; long lines at the bank; exponentially aggravating traffic jams and sullen, uncooperative coworkers and neighbors. Those of us who cannot overlook such annoyances will invariably succumb to self-defeating dismay.The ability to overlook also reflects a healthy sense of proportion and priorities. The wise "overlooker" will ignore his or her spouse's failings after making a considered judgment that these are outweighed, in the long run, by greater and more significant strengths. for example, what wise or reasonable person would destroy a marriage solely because an otherwise faithful, kind, generous, intelligent and prosperous partner occasionally tosses socks on the floor?An elderly aunt of mine makes a striking example. Long widowed, she now spends her days sitting in her apartment, carping endlessly about the many relatives who have slighted her. Nobody calls enough. Nobody pays her any atention. Nobody cares, she says.And, indeed, why should they? Who wants to visit with someone, elderly or otherwise, who does nothing but complain, find fault and scour for slights? Were she wiser, perhaps she would ignore or even suppress her interminable grievances and take more interest in the world at large, including the very individuals whose attention she purportedly craves.The paradigm of overlooking applies with equal force in the worlds of business and politics. Look at Richard Nixon: a brilliant, often original thinker, he was nonetheless continually obsessed with minutiae and the unimportant. On some level, I'm sure, he himself realized the dramatic impact of such a glaring character flaw; when the situation was long past salvaging, he exhorted his staff and friends to "Never be petty," a dictum he honored far more in the breach than in the observance.More prosaically, in business and everyday life, it is indeed the wise person who overlooks or ignores a vast amount. Why come home every day nurturing a grudge? Why spend time grappling with activities, people or attitudes which bring nothing but pain and torment? Still, most of us do, at least somewhat, and find ourselves far diminished for it.In sum, I think it's safe to say that much in this world merits not even a cursory examination, and those among us are wiser and happier who can successfully budget their time and energy in order to avoid negativity.Comments:This is a thoughtful, well-articulated analysis of the issue.The response opens with a clear endorsement of the stated claim, along with an acknowledgement thatwisdom involves additional traits. The writer then begins building an argument that modern life is so full of "petty annoyances" that it would be "self-defeating" to pay much attention to them. Using, first, examples that illustrate the trivial demands encountered everyday (e.g., paperwork, traffic jams), the analysis moves on to personal types of experiences (a partner抯annoying habits; an aunt抯self-pity) and then to politics, where, the writer implies, Nixon met his political demise at least partly because of his obsession with "minutiae and the unimportant." The examples clearly support the writer抯position and lead effectively to the concluding observation about learning to "budget" our time and energy to avoid the negative aspects of life.In several places, the skillful use of questions helps move the analysis along. And throughout, the skillful use of sentence variety and precise vocabulary combine to convey meaning effectively, as in this excerpt: "when the situation was long past salvaging, he [Nixon] exhorted his staff and friends to 慛ever be petty,?a dictum he honored far more in the breach than in the observance." This kind of insightful, articulate analysis merits a score of 6.5.1.1"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."Never before in history have people been so beset with the overflow of ideas and images that the modern human must endure. We are constantly bombarded with news, advertising, and entertainment, so much so that we are often at a loss as to where we should focus our attention. This has lead to what many media critics have called "information anxiety," a term used to discribe the paralysis the ordinary human experiences when attempting to organize and synthesize the vast amounts of data that move past her everyday. Now, more than ever before, it can be seen that wisdom truly is attributable to those "who know what to overlook."The Internet is a good example of the effects of information overload on people. Many people recieve hundreds of email messages a day, yet there is no possible way for them to respond, let alone read, all of these messages. Through practice they learn to pick out what will be of interest and to ignore the rest.A similar phenomena occurs when a person is "browising the web." Information, both trivial and profound, float by in a disorganized way. A person learns to ignore what is not relevant to their search. This is easily demonstrated by watching a person new to the Internet next to someone who is a veteran of the net. The new person will stumble on loads of irrelevant information while the veteran will most likely proceed to the information she seeks. This ability to overlook useless information is not only applicable to the net; consider the older but more established form of information known as the book.Ever since Guttenberg rolled out his first few pages from his press humans have been wondering how to synthesize all this knowledge. Each year more and more books are written and published, more and more information is available to the public through bookstores and libraries, and each year the average person must struggle harder to find what she needs to know.. This is one of the primary reasons people are sent to college: they are taught how to access and research information they need.It is only through experience that one understands how to overlook useless data. This is most likelywhat the author of the above quote meant.Comments:This response presents a well-developed analysis of the issue.Beginning with a strong description of the current state of information overload, the first paragraph provides a context for the issue and takes a clear position agreeing with the stated claim. The Internet example is well chosen and well developed, clearly supporting the point that wisdom involves learning to ignore what is not relevant. The reference to books reinforces this position but does little to advance the argument or add insightful analysis. The conclusion restates an earlier point, adding little to the analysis.Despite a few instances of imprecise reference (e.g., "this has" and "all this knowledge"), the argument is presented clearly and coherently, meriting a score of 5. To earn a higher score, the response would need to develop a more thoughtful analysis of the issue.4.1.1"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."I disagree with the opinion expressed above, in that I feel that the statement is omitting a very big part of what learning is all about. I firmly believe that wisdom is gained by careful observation of all that is around us in our lives. We gain a great deal by watching those around us, or by observing our surroundings, as well as watching the assembly of an object. All my life, I have learned a great deal by being very observant of people and their reactions to certain situations, or to procedures that are to be followed. Being observant has helped tremendously in travelling as well, since it has helped me recall certain landmarks to know if I am going in the correct direction. It is true that if we pay too much attention to insignificant detail, we clutter our minds with too much that is unnecesssary. Instead, we should have more time to devote our attention to that which is meaningful. In the field of science, we teach our students to be observant, and to look for specific reactions. If they don't learn to watch closely and record their data precisely, their results will be less than adequate, and their data will most likely not be very accurate or dependable. The statement above has merit, but it does not represent widsom in its entirety. It doesn't do justice to the great amount of learning that thas taken place through the ages through simple observation. Our forefathers survived by learning and knowing what to look for. That information was then passed on, so each successive generation didn't have to gather the same basic knowledge, but could build on what had already been learned. As a society, we need to lean on those who come before us, to learn valuable lessons from their experience, and to decipher that which we can improve on and that which is steadfast through the ages.Comments:This response presents a competent analysis of the issue, taking a position contrary to that expressed in the prompt, at least initially.After stating the importance of "careful observation of all that is around us," the response presentsreasons and examples to support that position. The examples are clear and relevant, although the analysis is fairly brief. Also, the organization and focus of the response weakens a little, especially as the writer interrupts the group of examples with a statement that "if we pay too much attention to insignificant detail, we will clutter our minds with too much that is unnecessary." This statement modifies -- and weakens -- the initial position, which the writer believed "firmly."The writer抯ideas are conveyed with reasonable clarity, but -- as is evident in the closing sentence -- this response lacks the skillful use of sentence structure and vocabulary that communicate meaning in responses that typically earn higher scores.3.1.1"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."I believe this statement is how you look at a glass of water. Either the glass is half full or it is half empty. The opptimist would look for things in life, whereas the pessimist would try to aviod things in life. This summary will explain how looking for things in life better than overlooking a persons involvement in new opportunities and to learn from these new experiences.I am strong believer in hands on experiences. If I have a open mind, try new things, and look for new answers to my questions about life, I will in the end gain wisdom because I have experienced many new situations. I plan on becoming a speech language pathologist in the future. In this field I will be dealing with clients who may have a disorder, such as autism or a cognitive delay. I must be aware of the red flags that identify these disorders. I must look for the obvious symptoms before I can overlook anything. If I would in my mind tell my self to overlook things. The result would be detrimental to my career and the individual I am treating.Who can predict the future? So how can someone purposely overlook an experience in which they may recieve a life lesson or gain knowledge. In conclusion, a person should look at the glass half full. No one can predict the future so how can one know what to overlook. Look for things in life, you may even stumble across that wisdom you were looking for in the first place.Comments:This response displays some competence analytic writing since it presents a position on the issue and has a clear pattern of organization.The opening paragraph introduces the topic and states a position that neither agrees or disagrees completely with the stated claim. The second paragraph presents an example; and the last paragraph provides a clear conclusion. The one example is minimally developed, however, and does not clearly explain "how looking for things in life [is] better than overlooking a person[抅s involvement in new opportunities."There are numerous small errors and problems in sentence structure (e.g., "If I would in my mind tell my self to overlook things."), but they do not seriously interfere with meaning. Thus, this response meetsthe criteria for a score of 3.2.1.1"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."It is common sense to think or state that wisdom should be attributed to peopel who only know what to overlook in life. But is should also be attributed to people who only know what to look at in life. Reason for this is because all the people should be exposed to this concept of wisdom. Even if the people who tened to overlook at life may have more of a background from farther reading and reading and research which they may have engaged in, there has got to be a way to expose the other people who may not be as knowledgable, to this type of wisdom. In this way everyone will be able to take part in variouse discusion or debates that may be held based on the topicof what to Look For In Life. It is also very true that when the topic of overlooking or looking at life comes up in a discussion everyone in the room is likely to have a common of their own to add. Their for the wisdome that may based on it is for everyone and not only the most wise one.Comments:This response received a score of 2, not because of language problems, but because reasoning, analysis, and development are extremely thin and insubstantial.This response displays serious weaknesses in analyzing the issue. Although the response states a position and offers limited support for the position, the reasons given are not always clear. The writer seems to be making an interesting point -- that more people should "be exposed to this concept of wisdom," but here, too, the meaning is not communicated clearly.The response is further flawed by serious and frequent problems in language and sentence structure, which often obscure meaning.This is not a 1 essay because the response does present a position with some support, and it is able to communicate some ideas clearly.1.1.1"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."Everyone can agree with this issue or not. I think everyone can have arguments to support it and arguments to not support it. It's one of that issue that is not true for everyone. I think if you know what to look for in your life maybe all your efforts can be very concentrated on certain things with the result of obtain what you planned to have in your life, with the result of being satisfied more than people who ask themselves any kind of questions prior to doing anything or prior to think about anything. These factors summarize to display truth about the issue and the discussion. People can disagree if they choose it. Now the question is wisdom belongs to those who know what to look for or to thosewho know what to overlook and in this behavior they can touch or stop the widom of other people? Comments:This response presents a fundamentally deficient discussion of the issue.The first portion of the response, while referring to "this issue," never clearly identifies the issue and, instead, contains statements that could be attributed to any number of topics. As such, there is little evidence of the ability to organize and develop a coherent analysis of the stated claim. The final statement essentially rephrases the topic as a question and seems to try to interpret its meaning, but -- without an explanation -- the ending merely adds to the overall confusion.The severe and persistent errors in language and sentence structure add to the overall incoherence and the score of 1.No 2 Issue6.1.2"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."For our grandparents it occurred through films and books. For the baby boomers it was a result of television 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 themedia 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 NixonComments: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 a paper 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.5.1.2"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."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. The Marlboro 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.Comments: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.4.1.2"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."The media does tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society.One example of this observation is the fact that the media is owned, controlled and used my a segment of the population that is usually out of touch with the realities of groups within the society it covers. . . For example, the gangster rappers have gained a reputation for being women hating, anti-authority, and violent. Before, the MTV and V-H1 and CNN provided coverage to these groups, theyre were limited to street sales and specific areas that w ere not mainstream. Thanks to national coverage in print and broadcast, these groups becaome more popular because it was "different" and taboo. The lyrics, dances, and fashion statements portrayed became big money items and surburbanited people were intrigued withe this counter-culture. They began to act, talk and behave like the lyrics espressed. Continued media fenzy contributed to kids wanting to become more familiar with this culture, thereby creating an atmosphere or arena for this counter-culturre to legitimate. The media created these values but these vlaues of the gangster rapeer do not reflect the actual values of the society.Another example of the media creating the values of a society is the coverage of the modeling industry. Clearly, most women neither want to or can look like Kate Moss. The typical Calvin Klein male models do not appear the way most men are naturally. This look is both unhealthy and atypical of mosthumans. Nevertheless, thanks to the media's coverage, including magazine advocating, newspapers ads, and commercials to sell products, a large portion of this society has done everything from liposuction to becoming bullimic to attain a supermodel look. If the media does not cover the indutrsy in such a manner, a growing number of people would not care about the skeletal look of kate Moss or any other unrealistic physical attrubutes that are usually genetically or surgically produced. The media creates this image of how men and women should look thereby creating the values of this society. These values would be totally different without the media's negative influence.Lastly, when the media chooses to focus on pervers and negative, and unhealthy aspects of a society, then that part of society becomes the "values' of that society. Gangster rap or anorexic models could not possibly have made it without the media's concentrated coverage of either.Comments:This response presents an adequate discussion of the topic. After a succinct announcement of the writer's position on the issue, the paper develops two relevant examples: musicians ("gangster rappers") who have negatively influenced people's behavior and superstar models who have negatively influenced people's self-image.Although the examples are well chosen and support the writer抯position, they are not always clearly explained. For example, the writer claims that "most women neither want to nor can look like Kate Moss" but then contradicts that claim by explaining that "a large portion of this society has done everything from liposuction to becoming bullimic to attain a supermodel look."In general, the vocabulary is clear, but not particularly precise. Sentences are formed correctly, but they lack effective variety. Grammatical and mechanical errors occur, but they do not seriously interfere with meaning. In almost every way, this is an adequate response and earns a score of 4.3.1.2"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society."The values of society have have changed so much during most recent years. Many of these values have changed for the worst. The media has been the vehicle that has taken us through these changes. The media has created so many avenues for us to take to find so many of these changes. They have created the avenues that children and young adults feel that they have to take.Many years ago reporters and writers were telling us of all the good things that were happening in the world. You could walk into a store and eventhough there was a war going on, we would read about the soldier that left his family to fight for his country. Nowadays you walk into a store, read a book , or watch a T.V. show, and see all of the things that are happening in a very negative world.The media is creating a society that says that it is O.K. for a man to wear earrings. That it is O.K. that marijuana is being legalized, that it is O.K. for juveniles to break the law. Why does not the media show us a professional male athlete that is also a family man? Why doesn't the author of a book or a。

2019年GRE写作题库范文：information GRE写作题目：Much of the information that people assume is factualactually turns out to be inaccurate. Thus，any pieceof information referred to as a‘fact’should be mistrusted since it may well be proven false in the future.绝大部分人们认为是事实的信息结果实际上都是不准确的。
所以，任何据称是事实的信息都应该被质疑，因为它在将来很可能会被证明为是错误的。
GRE写作范文：Should we be doubtful to all the information at hands because the rightness of which is uncertain? The speakerclaims so，I concede that people often commit variousfallacies in the course of cognizing things，however I fundamentally take exception of the arguer's assertion to mistrust every fact we might encounter. And I willsubstantially discuss my views thereinafter.To begin with，the speaker seems to implicate that afact would be proven false in the future under numerous circumstance. Nevertheless I prefer to arguer that factsnever change. No matter how did the Medieval Church and Inquisition persecute Bruno，the fact never changes that the earth is far from being the center of the universe as the religious sovereigns had assumed or hoped for，while just a minor particle in it. Equally，no matter how Edison had tried to incite the public fear and distrust to the alternative current electricity，the fact never changes that Teals’electrical system is vastly superior to his direct current electrical one，and would be accepted and applied in larger range.However，what do change are the human's objective interpretations to facts. One compelling argument to thispoint is that，due to the limitation of human’s knowledgeand comprehensive capability，they tend to make insufficientor even false understanding to the certain fact. An apt illustration is the changes of cognition to disease. While at the ancient time，our progenitors believed the a man becoming a patient for the reason that he had conduct crimes or offended some ghosts or spirits，the contemporary people have well know that the varies of pathogens are the basic causesto our diseases，and the defects of our immune system and so forth are also the factors as well. Another argument for the change of comprehension to fact is that different people always observe and interpret from different perspectives. Though the Relativity theory is not well compliable with the Quantum mechanism，no one call the greatness of both Einstein and Bohr，because their theories are based on distinct views，the former from the macrocosm and the later from the microcosm.Notwithstanding the foregoing reasons for that humantend to make fallacies during the cause of comprehending and cognizing facts，these reasons should never be the excuses to doubt every conclusion we might draw from facts. Based on certain rational inference and proper knowledge fundament，the conclusions we make might well be justifiable，if not completely right，to certain degree. What we need to do is to promote the enterprise of pursuing the better answer and tryto use the result we have get to application，instead of wasting our time to undue doubt and suspicion. Though the medical scientists have not fully understood the mechanism of how the does the implanted organ interact with the wounded body，they are not refrain from using the implanting skill to save patients，of course the precondition or which is that this technology is much well established than the fundamental theory.To sum up，while I advocate the speaker's opinion thatit is inevitable for human to comprehend facts inaccurately，for the reason of the limitation of the abilities，I essentially disagree with his assertion that facts will continually alter themselves，as well as his recommendation to discredit any piece of fact. In the final analysis，I would arguer once more that facts never change and although the misunderstanding to them is inevitable，we should not defer ourselves from the pursuit to fully comprehending them.。

Issue 208"The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."This statement generalizes unfairly that the way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and their society's values. In my view, while in certain respects the habits and customs of a people are accurate indicators of their attitudes and values, in other respects they are not.Turning first to the way people look and dress, certain aspects of the outward appearance of a culture's people do inform us of their ideas, attitudes, and values. A society whose members tend to be obese might place a high value on indulgence and pleasure, and a low value on physical health. A general preference for ready-made, inexpensive clothing might indicate a preference for practicality or for saving rather than spending. And, a society whose members prefer to wear clothing that is traditional and distinct to that society is one that values tradition over modernization. In other respects, however, the way people look and dress is not a function of their attitudes and values but rather their climatic and work environment. I n harsh climates people bundle up, while in hot, humid climates they go with few clothes. In developed nations people dress for indoor work and their skin appears pink and supple, while in agrarian cultures people dress for outdoor work and appear weather-beaten.I turn next to the way people act. The habits, rituals and lifestyles of a culture often do provide accurate signals about its values. For instance, a society characterized by over-consumption is clearly one that values comfort and convenience over a healthy environment. And, a society whose members behave in a genteel, respectful, and courteous manner toward one another is one which values human dignity, while a society of people who act in a hateful manner toward others clearly places a low value on respect for others and on tolerance of other people's opinions and beliefs. In other respects, however, the way people behave can belie their attitudes and values. Forinstance, a society whose members tend to work long hours might appear to place a high value on work for its own sake, when in reality these work habits might be born of financial necessity for the se people, who would prefer more leisure time if they could afford it.Finally, the statement overlook s a crucial distinction between free societies and oppressed ones. Free societies, such as contemporary America, are characterized by a panoply of rituals, behaviors, and manners of dress among its members. Such diversity in appearances surely indicates a society that places a high value on individual freedoms and cultural diversity.Accordingly, it might seem that a society whose members share similar rituals, ways of dressing, and public behaviors places a low value on individual freedoms and cultural diversity. However, any student of modern Communism and Fascism would recognize cultural homogeneity as an imposition on society's members, who would happily display their preference for individuality and diversity but for their oppressors.To sum up, while the statement has merit, it amounts to an unfair generalization. The way that people look, dress, and act is often bred of necessity, not of attitude or values. And in oppressed societies people's customs and habits belie their true attitudes and values in any event.。

下面是一个关于技术对教育的影响的范文精讲，共有700字。
（原题目）In the past, education was limited to a few people who had access to traditional classrooms and libraries. Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, information is more accessible to people who may or may not have access to traditional education. In this context, do you think that the wide availability of information online is beneficial or harmful to the education system?范文连贯结构、主题明确，其中所列举的具体例子生动有力。
下面是范文的主体结构和内容解析：Introduction:- 第一句话：背景介绍（过去的教育和技术的快速发展）- 第二句话：表达观点（技术的发展对于教育系统的影响）Body Paragraph 1:- 第一句话：观点（广泛获得信息的益处）- 第二句话：原因1（技术的发展使得信息更加普遍易得）- 第三句话：例子1（在线课程的普及，例如Coursera）- 第四句话：例子2（自学的机会，例如瑞士科技学院的MOOCs）Body Paragraph 2:- 第一句话：反面观点（广泛获得信息的危害）- 第二句话：原因1（信息的过度获取可能导致信息混乱）- 第三句话：例子1（谣言和不准确信息的传播）- 第四句话：例子2（内容过载的问题）Conclusion:- 第一句话：总结两个观点及原因- 第二句话：再次强调观点- 第三句话：表达偏向性观点并得出结论范文结构与内容的描述如下：Introduction:In the past, education was limited to a few people who had access to traditional classrooms and libraries. Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, information is more accessible to people who may or may not have access to traditional education. In this context, the wide availability of information online has brought significant changes to the education system.Body Paragraph 1:One advantage of the wide availability of information online is that it allows individuals to access a wide range of educational resources. With the development of technology, information is no longer confined to physical spaces such as classrooms and libraries. Online platforms like Coursera have made it possible for anyone with an internet connection to enroll in courses taught by top professors from around the world. Additionally, institutions like ETH Zurich offer Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that allow individuals to learn valuable skills in a self-paced manner.These opportunities for self-directed learning have greatly expanded access to education.Body Paragraph 2:However, the wide availability of information online also poses challenges to the education system. The ease of access to information can lead to information overload, making it difficult for individuals to distinguish between reliable sources and unreliable ones. The rapid spread of rumors and misinformation on social media platforms is a prime example of how easily false information can be disseminated. Moreover, the excessive exposure to information can be overwhelming and may hinder effective learning, as individuals may struggle to prioritize and process the vast amount of information available to them. Conclusion:In conclusion, the wide availability of information online has both benefits and drawbacks for the education system. On one hand, it has democratized access to educational resources and provides opportunities for self-directed learning. On the other hand, it has brought challenges such as information overload and the spread of unreliable information. Overall, it is important for individuals to develop critical thinking skills and information literacy in order to navigate the vast amount of information available online.。

人家说到底也是考“ANALYTICAL writing”，分析还是在第一位的，我们的态度因此不要太偏了(有时候)，只是想到作文，这个“作文”是有条件的——分析性写作。
所以，不一定非得想尽办法紧扣题目。
人家写了一个claim以后，想溯源的说起因，想结果的去推断，想就着这个claim来论证的也可以分方面分程度，定性结合定量。
死扣一个很容易没话说(关键词：原因，结果，方面，程度，定性，定量)。
我还觉得自己可以界定一下范围。
今天晚上写完了issue74之后才想起来，人家说的是most，完全可以交代一下，说most涉及的东西太多了，无法说清楚，但是就within language&image而言，的确是image更好(我的position)。
这样也可以避免绝对化。
只要人家看出来你会，而且很好的进行逻辑分析，就okay了。
同时想完了后，看了一看pp3里边的一些说明，正好不谋而合。
下面是根据GRE写作考试Issue74写了一篇范文，大家可以从中得到一点启发。
［Issue74］“The most effective way to communicate anidea or value to large groups of people is through the use of images, not language.”［参考范文］I strongly agree with the author on the claim that image generally serves to be a better means of communication than language， and this is no exception whenthe audience is a large group. Though everyday we speak oneor several languages to express ourselves， theAchilles‘ heel of language makes it incompetent in certain critical case.That Achilles‘heel is “misinterpretation”， a characteristic of language，particularly conspicuous when it comes to multi-language situations. Among countless misunderstandings in this way ever since people begin to speak， one heartbreaking tragedy can effectively supportthis claim. The story begins with one American boy who fellin love with a Japanese girl， but neither expressed their feeling for each other at that moment. One day when the boy was to leave the girl for a period of time，he left her anote with the word “shine” on it. The word “shine”，initially indicating her shining beauty as the boy later said，shocked the Japanese girl when she see it， and so despairedat the note that she committed suicide three days later. The reason， later discovered，is that the girl with poor English interpreted the word as “shi-ne”，which is “go hell” or “die” in Japanese. In the case nobody can deny the crime of language，since the young girl would not have perished wereit not for this grievous misinterpretation.

"In any academic area or professional field, it is just as important to recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding as it is to acquire new facts and information."Does recognizing the limits of our knowledge and understanding serve us equally well as acquiring new facts and information, as the speaker asserts? While our everyday experience might lend credence to this assertion, further reflection reveals its fundamental inconsistency with our Western view of how we acquire knowledge. Nevertheless, a careful and thoughtful definition of knowledge can serve to reconcile the two.On the one hand, the speaker's assertion accords with the everyday experience of working professionals. For example, the sort of book I knowledge that medical, law, and business students acquire, no matter how extensive, is of little use unless these students also learn to accept the uncertainties and risks inherent in professional practice and in the business world. Any successful doctor, lawyer, or entrepreneur would undoubtedly agree that new precedents and challenges in their fields compel them to acknowledge the limitations of their knowledge, and that learning to accommodate these limitations is just as important in their professional success as knowledge itself.Moreover, the additional knowledge we gain by collecting more information often diminishes-sometimes to the point where marginal gains turn to marginal losses. Consider, for instance, the collection of financial-investment information. No amount of knowledge can eliminate the uncertainty and risk inherent in financial investing. Also, information overload can result in confusion, which in turn can diminish one's ability to assimilate information and apply it usefully. Thus, by recognizing the limits of their knowledge, and by accounting for those limits when making decisions, investment advisors can more effectively serve their clients.On the other hand, the speaker's assertion seems self-contradictory, for how can we know the limits of our knowledge until we've thoroughly tested those limits through exhaustive empirical observation--that is, by acquiring facts and information. For example, it would be tempting to concede that we can never understand the basic forces that govern all matter in the universe. Yet due to increasingly precise and extensive fact-finding efforts of scientists, we might now be within striking distance of understanding the key laws by which all physical matter behaves. Put another way, the speaker's assertion flies in the face of the scientific method, whose fundamental tenet is that we humans can truly know only that which we observe. Thus Francis Bacon, who finest formulated the method, might assert that the speaker is fundamentally incorrect.How can we reconcile our experience in everyday endeavors with the basic assumption underlying the scientific method? Perhaps the answer lies in a distinction between two types of knowledge--one which amounts to a mere collection of observations (i.e., facts and information), the other which is deeper and includes a realization of principles and truthsunderlying those observations. At this deeper level "knowledge" equals "under-standing": how we interpret, make sense of, and find meaning in the information we collect by way of observation.In the final analysis, evaluating the speaker's assertion requires that we define "knowledge,'' which in turn requires that we address complex epistemological issues best left to philosophers and theologians. Yet perhaps this is the speaker's point: that we can never truly know either ourselves or the world, and that by recognizing this limitation we set ourselves free to accomplish what no amount of mere information could ever permit."The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making."I fundamentally agree with the speaker's first contention, for unless we embrace the concept of "individual responsibility" our notions of moral accountability and human equality, both crucial to the survival of any democratic society, will wither. However, I strongly disagree with the second contention--that our individual actions are determined largely by external forces. Although this claim is not entirely without support, it runs contrary to common sense and everyday human experience.The primary reason that individual responsibility is a necessary fiction is that a society where individuals are not held accountable for their actions and choices is a lawless one, devoid of any order whatsoever. Admittedly, under some circumstances a society of laws should carve out exceptions to the rule of individual responsibility--for example, for the hopeless psychotic who has no control over his or her thoughts or actions. Yet to extend forgiveness much further would be to endanger the social order upon which any civil and democratic society depends.A correlative argument for individual responsibility involves the fact that lawless, or anarchist, states give way to despotic rule by strong individuals who seize power. History informs us that monarchs and dictators often justify their authority by claiming that they are preordained to assume it--and that as a result they are not morally responsible for their oppressive actions. Thus, any person abhorring despotism must embrace the concept of individual responsibility.As for the speaker's second claim, it flies in the face of our everyday experiences in making choices and decisions. Although people often claim that life's circumstances have "forced" them to take certain actions, we all have an infinite number of choices; it's just that many of our choices are unappealing, even self-defeating. Thus, the complete absence of free WIU would seem to be possible only in the case of severe psychosis, coma, or death. Admittedly, the speaker's second contention finds support from "strict determinist"philosophers, who maintain that every event, including human actions and choices, is physically necessary, given the laws of nature. Recent advances in molecular biology and genetics lend some credence to this position, by suggesting that these determining physical forces include our own individual genetic makeup. But, the notion of scientific determinism opens the door for genetic engineering, which might threaten equality in socioeconomic opportunity, and even precipitate the development of a "master race." Besides, since neither free will nor determinism has been proven to be the correct position, the former is to be preferred by any humanist and in any democratic society.In sum, without the notion of individual responsibility a civilized, democratic society would soon devolve into an anarchist state, vulnerable to despotic rule. Yet, this notion is more than a mere fiction. The idea that our actions spring primarily from our free will accords with common sense and everyday experience. I concede that science might eventually vindicate the speaker and show that our actions are largely determined by forces beyond our conscious control. Until that time, however, I'll trust my intuition that we humans should be, and in fact are, responsible for our own choices and actions."Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."I fundamentally agree with the proposition that students must take courses outside their major field of study to become "truly educated." A contrary position would reflect a too narrow view of higher education and its proper objectives. Nevertheless, I would caution that extending the proposition too far might risk undermining those objectives.The primary reason why I agree with the proposition is that "me" education amounts to far more than gaining the knowledge and ability to excel in one's major course of study and in one's professional career. True education also facilitates an understanding of one- self, and tolerance and respect for the viewpoints of others. Courses in psychology, sociology, and anthropology all serve these ends. "True" education also provides insight and perspective regarding one's place in society and in the physical and metaphysical worlds. Courses in political science, philosophy, theology, and even sciences such as astronomy and physics can help a student gain this insight and perspective. Finally, no student can be truly educated without having gained an aesthetic appreciation of the world around us--through course work in literature, the fine arts, and the performing arts.Becoming truly educated also requires sufficient mastery of one academic area to permit a student to contribute meaningfully to society later in life. Yet, mastery of any specific area requires some knowledge about a variety of others. For example, a political-science student can fully understand that field only by understanding the various psychological, sociological,and historical forces that shape political ideology. An anthropologist cannot excel without understanding the social and political events that shape cultures, and without some knowledge of chemistry and geology for performing field work. Even computer engineering is intrinsically tied to other fields, even non-technical ones such as business, communications, and media.Nevertheless, the call for a broad educational experience as the path to becoming truly educated comes with one important caveat. A student who merely dabbles in a hodgepodge of academic offerings, without special emphasis on any one, becomes a dilettante lacking enough knowledge or experience in any single area to come away with anything valuable to offer. Thus in the pursuit of true education students must be careful not to overextend themselves--or risk defeating an important objective of education.In the final analysis, to become truly educated one must strike a proper balance in one's educational pursuits. Certainly, students should strive to excel in the specific requirements of their major course of study. However, they should complement those efforts by pursuing course work in a variety of other areas as well. By earnestly pursuing a broad education one gains the capacity not only to succeed in a career, but also to find purpose and meaning in that career as well as to understand and appreciate the world and its peoples. To gain these capacities is to become "truly educated.""People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does."The speaker asserts that because teamwork requires cooperative effort, people are more motivated and therefore more productive working in teams than working individually as competitors. My view is that this assertion is true only in some cases. If one examines the business world, for example, it becomes clear that which approach is more effective in motivating people and in achieving productivity depends on the specific job.In some jobs productivity dearly depends on the ability of coworkers to cooperate as members of a team. For businesses involved in the production of products through complex processes, all departments and divisions must work in lock-step fashion toward productroll-out. Cooperative interaction is even essential in jobs performed in relative isolation and in jobs in which technical knowledge or ability, not the ability to work with others, would seem to be most important. For example, scientists, researchers, and even computer programmers must collaborate to establish common goals, coordinate efforts, and meet time lines. Moreover, the kinds of people attracted to these jobs in the first place are likely to be motivated by a sense of common purpose rather than by individual ambition.In other types of jobs individual competition, tenacity, and ambition are the keys to productivity. For example, a commissioned salesperson's compensation, and sometimestenure and potential for promotion as well, is based on comparative sales performance of coworkers. Working as competitors a firm's individual salespeople maximize productivity-in terms of profit--both for themselves and for their finny. Key leadership positions also call, above all, for a certain tenacity and competitive spirit. A firsts founding entrepreneur must maintain this spirit in order for the firm to survive, let alone to maximize productivity. Moreover, in my observation the kinds of people inclined toward entrepreneurship and sales in the first place are those who are competitive by nature, not those who are motivated primarily by a sense of common purpose.On balance, however, my view is that cooperation is more crucial for an organization'slong-term productivity than individual competition. Even in jobs where individual competitiveness is part-and-parcel of the job, the importance of cooperation should not be underestimated. Competition among sales people can quickly grow into jealousy, back stabbing, and unethical behavior all of which are counterproductive. And even the most successful entrepreneurs would no doubt admit that without the cooperative efforts of their subordinates, partners, and colleagues, their personal visions would never become reality. In sum, individual competitiveness and ambition are essential motivating forces for certain types of jobs, while in other jobs it is a common sense of mission that motivates workers to achieve maximum productivity. In the final analysis, however, the overall productivity of almost every organization depends ultimately on the ability of its members to cooperate as a team."Colleges and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts and literature of the past."The speaker asserts that the curriculum of colleges and universities should emphasize popular culture--music, media, literature, and so forth rather than literature and art of the past, for the reason that the former is more relevant to students. I strongly disagree. Although courses in popular culture do play a legitimate role in higher education, formal study of the present culture at the expense of studying past cultures can undermine the function of higher education, and ultimately provide a disservice to students and to society. Admittedly, course work in popular culture is legitimate and valuable for three reasons. First, popular culture is a mirror of society's impulses and values. Thus, any serious student of the social sciences, as well as students of media and communications, should take seriously the literature and art of the present. Secondly, in every age and culture some worthwhile art and literature emerges from the mediocrity. Few would disagree, for example, that the great modem-jazz pioneers such as Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, and more recently Lennon and McCartney, and Stevie Wonder, have made just as lasting a contribution tomusic as some of the great classical musicians of previous centuries. Thirdly, knowledge of popular films, music, and art enables a person to find common ground to relate to other people. This leads to better communication between different subcultures. Nevertheless, emphasizing the study of popular culture at the expense of studying classical art and literature can carry harmful consequences for students, as well as for society. Without the benefit of historical perspective gamed through the earnest study of the art and literature of the past, it is impossible to fully understand, appreciate, and critique literature and art of the present. Moreover, by approaching popular culture without any yardstick for quality it is impossible to distinguish mediocre art from worthwhile art. Only by studying the classics can an individual develop fair standards for judging popular works. Besides, emphasis on the formal study of popular culture is unnecessary. Education in popular culture is readily available outside the classroom---on the Internet, through educational television programming, and through the sorts of everyday conversations and cross-talk that occur at water coolers and in the coffee houses of any college campus.In sum, while the study of popular literature and art can be worthwhile, it has to be undertaken in conjunction with an even greater effort to learn about the literature and art of the past. In the absence of the latter, our universities will produce a society of people with no cultural perspective, and without any standards for determining what merits our attention and nurtures society."A person's own habits and attitudes often limit that person's freedom more than do restrictions imposed by others."I strongly agree with the contention that we often limit our own freedom through our habits and attitudes. By limiting our own freedom, we often serve our own interests. And as we learn this lesson, we cultivate certain attitudes and habits--particularly in our relationships with others--by which we apply that lesson, and which continue throughout life.To appreciate that from an early age we ingrain in ourselves habits that serve to constrain our freedom, one need look no further than the neighborhood playground. Even without adult supervision, a group of youngsters at play invariably establish mutually agreed-upon rules of conduct--whether or not a sport or game is involved. Children learn that without any rules for behavior the playground bully usually prevails. Thus our habit of making choices that constrain our own freedom stems from our desire to protect our own interests, and it begins at an early age.This habit of making choices that constrain our own freedom continues into our adult lives. As we mature, most of us develop the attitude that monogamous relationships are preferable to polygamous ones--thus our habit of entering into exclusive pair-bonding relationships. During our teens we agree to "go steady," then as adults we voluntarily enterinto marriage contracts. As we enter the working world, we carry these attitudes and habits with us. We eagerly engage in exclusive employment relationships---with the attitude that the security of steady income is preferable to the "freedom" of not knowing where our next paycheck will come from. Even people who prefer self-employment to job security quickly develop the attitude that the only way to preserve their autonomy is to constrain themselves in terms of their agreements with clients and customers, and especially in terms of how they use themselves.Those who disagree that we tend to restrict our own freedom through our habits and attitudes involving personal and employment relationships might cite the often-heard complaint about life's circumstances leaving one with "no choice." One complaining person might feel trapped in a job or a marriage, by their boss or partner. Another complainant might blame his or her spendthrift habits on enticing advertisements, the pressure to appear successful, and so forth. However, people in situations such as these are not actually at the mercy of others. Instead, they have a significant degree of personal freedom, but simply choose one alternative over others that might be less appealing or evenself-defeating. For example, almost every person who blames someone else for being trapped in a job is simply choosing to retain a certain measure of financial security. The choice to forego this security is always available, although it might carry unpleasant consequences.That through our attitudes we serve to constrain our own freedom is evident on a societal level as well. Just as children at a playground quickly develop the habit of imposing rules and regulations on themselves, as a society we do the same. After all, in a democracy our system of laws is an invention of the people. For example, we insist on being bound by restrictions for opera cling motor vehicles, for buying and selling both real and personal property, and for making public statements about other people. Without these restrictions, we would live in continual fear for our physical safety, the security of our property, and our personal reputation and dignity. Thus most of the rules and regulations we claim are imposed on us we have ultimately imposed on ourselves, as a society, in order to protect ourselves.In the final analysis, in contenting that our habits and attitudes "often" serve to restrict our freedom more than restraints that others place on us do, the statement does not even go far enough. Despite our occasional sense that others are restricting our choices, on both an individual and a societal level we are ultimately the ones who, through our attitudes and habits, limit our own freedom."In any realm of life---whether academic, social, business, or political---the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be super ceded by simpler, moreimmediate options."I agree with the speaker insofar as that a practical, pragmatic approach toward our endeavors can help us survive in the short ten. However, idealism is just as crucial if not more so--for long-term success in any endeavor, whether it is in academics, business, or political and social reform.When it comes to academics, students who we would consider pragmatic tend not to pursue an education for its own sake. Instead, they tend to cut whatever corners are needed to optimize their grade average and survive the current academic term. But, is this approach the only way to succeed academically? Certainly not. Students who earnestly pursue intellectual paths that truly interest them are more likely to come away with a meaningful and lasting education. In fact, a sense of mission about one's area of fascination is strong motivation to participate actively in class and to study earnestly, both of which contribute to better grades in that area. Thus, although the idealist-student might sacrifice a high overall grade average, the depth of knowledge, academic discipline, and sense of purpose the student gains will serve that student well later in life.In considering the business world it might be more tempting to agree with the speaker; after all, isn't business fundamentally about pragmatism--that is, "getting the job done" and paying attention to the "bottom line"? Emphatically no. Admittedly, the everyday machinations of business are very much about meeting mundane short-term goals: deadlines for production, sales quotas, profit margins, and so forth. Yet underpinning these activities is the vision of the company's chief executive--a vision which might extend far beyond mere profit maximization to the ways in which the firm can make a lasting and meaningful contribution to the community, to the broader economy, and to the society as a whole. Without a dream or vision--that is, without strong idealist leadership--a firm can easily be cast about in the sea of commerce without dear direction, threatening not only the firm's bottom line but also its very survival.Finally, when it comes to the political arena, again at first blush it might appear that pragmatism is the best, if not the only, way to succeed. Most politicians seem driven by their interest in being elected and reelected--that is, in surviving--rather than by any sense of mission, or even obligation to their constituency or country. Diplomatic and legal maneuverings and negotiations often appear intended to meet the practical needs of the parties involved--minimizing costs, preserving options, and so forth. But, it is idealists-not pragmatists--who sway the masses, incite revolutions, and make political ideology reality. Consider idealists such as America's founders, Mahatma Gandhi, or Martin Luther King. Had these idealists concerned themselves with short-term survival and immediate needs rather than with their notions of an ideal society, the United States and India might still be British colonies, and African-Americans might still be relegated to the backs of buses.In short, the statement fails to recognize that idealism--keeping one's eye on an ultimate prize--is the surest path to long-term success in any endeavor. Meeting one's immediate needs, while arguably necessary for short-term survival, accomplishes lilted without a sense of mission, a vision, or a dream for the long term."The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives." The speaker alleges that studying history is valuable only insofar as it is relevant to our daily lives. I find this allegation to be specious. It wrongly suggests that history is not otherwise instructive and that its relevance to our everyday lives is limited. To the contrary, studying history provides inspiration, innumerable lessons for living, and useful value-clarification and perspective--all of which help us decide how to live our lives.To begin with, learning about great human achievements of the past provides inspiration. For example, a student inspired by the courage and tenacity of history's great explorers might decide as a result to pursue a career in archeology, oceanography, or astronomy. This decision can, in turn, profoundly affect that student's everyday life--in school and beyond. Even for students not inclined to pursue these sorts of careers, studying historical examples of courage in the face of adversity can provide motivation to face their own personal fears in life. In short, learning about grand accomplishments of the past can help us get through the everyday business of living, whatever that business might be, by emboldening us and lifting our spirits.In addition, mistakes of the past can teach us as a society how to avoid repeating those mistakes. For example, history can teach us the inappropriateness of addressing certain social issues, particularly moral ones, on a societal level. Attempts to legislate morality invariably fail, as aptly illustrated by the Prohibition experiment in the U.S. during the 1930s. Hopefully, as a society we can apply this lesson by adopting a more enlightened legislative approach toward such issues as free speech, criminalization of drug use, criminal justice, and equal rights under the law.Studying human history can also help us understand and appreciate the mores, values, and ideals of past cultures. A heightened awareness of Cultural Revolution, in turn, helps us formulate informed and reflective values and ideals for ourselves. Based on these values and ideals, students can determine their authentic life path as well as how they should allot their time and interact with others on a day-to-day basis.Finally, it might be tempting to imply from the speaker's allegation that studying history has little relevance even for the mundane chores that occupy so much of our time each day, and therefore is of little value. However, from history we learn not to take everyday activities and things for granted. By understanding the history of money and banking we can transform an otherwise routine trip to the bank into an enlightened experience, or a visit to。

GRE写作题库范文下面是一篇官方给出满分的ARGUMENT范文，我们来一起赏析，看看它为何能 scored six ( 先读文章，再看我的点评 )The following appeared as part of an article in adaily newspaper："Most companies would agree that as the risk ofphysical injury occurring on the job increases, the wages paidto employees should also increase. Hence it makes financialsense for employers to make the workplace safer ： they could thus reduce their payroll expenses and save money."Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. Inyour discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning andthe use of evidence in the argument. For example, you mayneed to consider what questionable assumptions underlie thethinking and what alternative explanations orcounterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can alsodiscuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it morelogically sound, and what, if anything, would help you betterevaluate its conclusion.GRE首段This argument states that it makes financial sense foremployers to make the workplace safer because by making the workplace safer then lower wages could be paid to employees.This conclusion is based on the premise that as the list of physical injury increases, the wages paid to employees should also increase. However, there are several assumptions that may not necessarily apply to this argument. For example, the costs associated with making the workplace safe must outweigh the increased payroll expenses due to hazardous conditions. Also, one must look at the plausability of improving the work environment. And finally, because most companies agree that as the risk of injury increases so will wages doesn't necessarily mean that the all companies which have hazardous work environments agree.GRE中间段 1The first issue to be addressed is whether increased labor costs justify large capital expenditures to improve the work environment. Clearly one could argue that if making the workplace safe would cost an exorbitant amount of money in comparison to leaving the workplace as is and paying slightly increased wages than it would not make sense to improve the work environment. For example, if making the workplace safe would cost $100 million versus additional payroll expenses of only $5,000 per year, it would make financial sense to simply pay the increased wages. No business or business owner with any sense would pay all that extra money just to save a couple dollars and improve employee health and relations. To consider this, a cost benefit analysis must be made. I also feel that although a cost benefit analysis should be the determining factor with regard to these decisions making financial sense, it may not be the determining factor with regard to making social, moral and ethical sense.GRE中间段 2This argument also relies on the idea that companies solely use financial sense in analysing improving the work environment. This is not the case. Companies look at other considerations such as the negative social ramifications ofhigh on-job injuries. For example, Toyota spends largeamounts of money improving its environment because while its goal is to be profitable, it also prides itself on highemployee morale and an almost perfectly safe work environment. However, Toyota finds that it can do both, as by improving employee health and employee relations they are guaranteed a more motivated staff, and hence a more efficient staff; this guarantees more money for the business as well as more safety for the employees.GRE中间段 3Finally one must understand that not all work environments can be made safer. For example, in the case of coal mining, a company only has limited ways of making the work environment safe. While companies may be able to ensure some safety precautions, they may not be able to provide all the safety measures necessary. In other words, a mining company has limited ability to control the air quality withina coal mine and therefore it cannot control the risk of employees getting blacklung. In other words, regardless ofthe intent of the company, some jobs are simply dangerous in nature.GRE末端In conclusion, while at first it may seem to make financialsense to improve the safety of the work environmentsometimes it truly does not make financial sense. Furthermore,financial sense may not be the only issue a company faces.Other types of analyses must be made such as the socialramifications of an unsafe work environment and the overallability of a company to improve that environment (i.e 。
