呵呵这个问题很难答，因为谁也不知道ETS具体是怎么工作的。
我把我的理解说一下吧。我觉得E-RATER的主要作用是看你的结构。怎么看呢？通过看你的连接词，以及和其他满分作文的相关程度。所以我认为只要不整句一样你和别人的文章有类似的地方应该还会加分而不是减分。
About the e-rater
If your essay better resembles the stored"6" essays in the e-rater's database, you will get that score. That is why that is so important to read the 20 sample essays we have. The e-rater can not detect certain things, such as humour, spelling errors or grammer. It analyzes structure through using transitional phrases, paragraph changes, etc. It evaluates content through comparing your score to that of the other students. The e-rater does, however, detext spelling and grammar indirectly. If your transition phrases and logical indentifers are not properly spelled the e-rater will not detect them. Since the e-rater uses the presence of such transitional phrases as an indicator of effective writting, you are indirectly penalized if they are not spelle correctly.
Fooling the e-rater
1Make your essay highly rigid in structure. Make it look, in its organization, like other 5 and 6 essays.
2Clearly demarcate sections using phrases such as "for example", "therefore", etc..
3Use qualifiers judiciously. The e-rater will accociate careful use of qualifiers with high scorers.
4Use the exact the terminologh we do in the usual suspects section to identify logical reasoning flaws in the argument section.
5Don't use unuaual references that no other business school student would use. The e-rater uses other scorers as a template based on how well you resemble other scorers.
6Don't avoid or overuse qualifiers such as "likely", "should", etc..(link to qualifiers). Smart people use qualifiers, which means the high scorers in the e-rater's database will be filled with essays saturated with qualifiers. However, do not overuse qualifiers or it will dilute your esssay.
7your essay should be written in "american" not "english".
这个是800score里面我觉得对E-RATER很好的一个介绍，你看看吧。
希望已经可以解决你的问题了。 |
