今天查到作文分数了,真的很开心,拿到了满分。750+6,自己对于三个星期的复习也是有所交代了。我作文用了将近一个星期,而且不算专攻。自己觉得作文是有窍门的!我基本没有用模版,一来我怕记不住,二来怕分数扭曲。现在跟大家交代一下我的复习方法。 用了三天看完了黄金80,然后看有带例句的·七宗罪,然后高频,然后剩下的时间每天一篇AA和AI.(最后两天的时候实际是每天一AI,和几篇AA片段练习) 下面我分别阐述一下我的窍门:作文的关键在两个地方,一个是字数多,二个是拼写不能有太多错误。我每天有抽点时间练打字,大概能在170每分钟,并且要用台式机的键盘练手;每篇作文最后一定要剩下5分钟来检查拼写!否则错在拼写上实在很亏。 AI: 我有借鉴之前心经里的套路,举个例子,题目是portrayal of violence那个, 开题:the issue is whether....in my view...there are several flaws discussed below in the argument. 第一段:适当的在entertainment里面加入暴力是ok的。原因,举例(先抑后扬) 第二段:但是,暴力对孩子们会产生不好的影响,证据(反对理由一) 第三段:即使站在制造商的角度,加入暴力长期而言对他们的reputation有害,原因。(反对理由二,并且跳出原来的思路,换个角度来看问题) 结尾:as it stands, .....to make it more logically acceptable,the author would have to.... 这就是我的模板。每篇基本都可以按照这样的思路去思考。 AA: AA很重要,我自己觉得很大的问题在于句子和词语的使用上面,我们还不熟悉。写出来的话很平淡而且短小。那最好的方法不是被模版,而是背句子。在七宗罪里面,或者黄金80里面,有现成的句子可以在特定的情况下使用。 我当时练习的句子: The study cited in the editorial may be defective because the number of employees were not specified. Besides, perhaps, the employees chosen is idiosyncratic and not representative of workers in general. If, it turns out , for example, that employees from the same department ,each influence one another. respond to this survey, the conclusion would be dramatically weakened. Without the information regarding the way in which employees involved were selected, it is unconvincing to infer that. Without knowing how the survey was conducted, it is impossible to assess the credibility of the study. The author’s forecast of the increase in price rests on the gratuitous assumption that… there is , however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Lacking this assumption, the expectation of … is quite unacceptable. The author assumes that … will certainly lead to the… all other factors remaining unchanged, this would be the case. If , on the other hand, for example, …
Without knowing how the survey was conducted, it is impossible to assess the credibility of the study. The author’s forecast of the increase in price rests on the gratuitous assumption that… there is , however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Lacking this assumption, the expectation of … is quite unacceptable. The author assumes that … will certainly lead to the… all other factors remaining unchanged, this would be the case. If , on the other hand, for example, … The author assumes that.. portends…This assumption may be true in some cases. However, it is not necessarily to hold true in any case. For example, that…would certainly nullify this expectation. The author cites the fact that…as evidence that.. No evidence, however, is offered to prove a logical link between the …and… one obvious rejoinder to this line of reasoning is that….
The argument obviously suffers from the classic logical fallacy of ‘after this, therefore because of this’. Moreover, many other relevant factors that might have contributed to this results are ignored. For instance, it is entirely possible that… Consequently, this reasoning is dubious unless other possible causal explanations have been considered and rejected with more information.
The author has focused only on negative effects… a more detailed analysis of the situation might reveal that the positive benefits far outweigh the problems on which the author focuses. Lacking a more comprehensive analysis of.. it is presumptuous on the part of the author to conclude that…
The author assumes that the relative conditions may remain unchanged over the next years. However, the author overlooks that .. .may fluctuate over a long time period. This may affect that… which in turn may lead to….
The author makes a hasty analogy based on the assumption that what is true of.. will likewise be true of… but there are all kinds of differences between… and … for example, …which affecting… to a large extent. Consequently, lacking detailed information ,we cannot safely assume that because…any or other… will similar…
我举个例子:以下这句话是用在错误对比的时候,了解每句话的目的后,我每天会通过多打几篇每段话来熟悉。到了最后几天,我把高频的题拿出来每天用两三篇文章,从这些句子里面挑出话来练习。
The author makes a hasty analogy based on the assumption that what is true of.. will likewise be true of… but there are all kinds of differences between… and … for example, …which affecting… to a large extent. Consequently, lacking detailed information ,we cannot safely assume that because…any or other… will similar… 就变成: The author makes a hast analogy based on that what is true of some other companies will likewise be true of P company. But there are all kinds of differences between company p and other ones. For example, other companies might have used some financial tools such as options to offset the impacts of oil price while company P hasn’t. Consequently, lacking detailed information, we cannot safely assume that because other companies made profits, company P will similar not be affected by the oil price.
这样下来每段话用在哪些地方都会清晰,而且并不需要记清楚每段话,但是在写作文的时候某个句子或者词语就会信手拈来。三天的时间就可以做到!
最后,我最近也遇到一些朋友投入大量时间备战GMAT却不理想,我觉得窍门还是很重要的,一味的做题练习不寻找属于自己的方法,是没有效率的。正因为我是懒人,所以被逼着找些捷径出来,现在经过我的考试证实应该是安全无副作用的:)所以跟大家一起分享。加油~
