做题的五步。 Step 1: Read the question first. Step 2: Read the argument.
1. Identify each premise (each piece of information) that is being presented within the argument. 2. Identify the argument’s conclusion. 3. Determine what assumptions are being made.
Step 3: Paraphrase the argument using your own words. Step 4: Predict the answer. So, you’ve read the argument. You understand it. You can identify it’s premises and it’s conclusion. Now imagine additional premises (additional pieces of information) and what affect each would have on the argument overall. Brainstorm for a moment. Imagine which additional premise would best strengthen the argument. What one thing could you add that would completely fix it? Now imagine the opposite. How could you weaken the argument? How could you completely destroy it? This is perhaps the most important step in the process. Answer choices are intentionally misleading, and you can use your predictions as a measuring stick with which to compare the choices given to you by ETS.
Step 5: Use the process of Error Identification to eliminate the wrong answers. |
