老实说,俺打小作文就从没得过满分,想不到小概率事件也会发生!
好了,废话少说,谈一下准备心得把:
1. AA全靠魔板
一定要把魔板背熟,把针对7宗罪的条条框框记牢。我的作文中75%全是魔板上的套话,剩下的25%就直接把题中的观点;逻辑填进魔板。由于本人魔板废话很多,所以一般揪出2~3宗罪就可搞定400字大关了。AA是作文中最好准备的:花个10小时弄明白7宗罪,再花个10小时七拼八凑自己的魔板。背熟了,套个5,6篇黄金80题,感觉全出来了。
2.AI要下功夫
强烈建议看完80题,把每一题的提纲整理一下,找出支持/反对观点1,2。原因1用举例说明,原因2用论证说明,再加一段保留性的承认“对方观点也有道理,但是我的更对”,再加上纯废话的开片和总结,就齐活了。有的题如果是在找不到强烈支持/反对的两点理由就采取中庸:“A也好B也好,兼而有之更好”,把支持A的理由说一段,再把支持B的理由说一段(这事大家中小学是在论证私有企业是公有和集体经济的有效补充时没少干吧。想一想,说ETS没看过俺们的政治书俺还真不信了)再加上纯废话的开片和总结,收工。AI基本上是20%魔板,80%对症下药的胡扯。
3.一定要在电脑上计时练几篇
一定要找最破的键盘,就Dell的吧。为什么?想想你如果能在斯坦福桥的那块菜地上坚持90分钟,还有什么场地是适应不了的呢?:)
here is my Model:
ISSUE: Recently there is a debate over whether….Different people hold different views because of their distinct background. Some people assert that…, while other peop le believe that….As a matter of fact, the issue of whether…is a complex and con troversial one. Therefore there is not a universal answer, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other depends on specific situation. Actually the fina l judgment should rely on a case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, I ag ree that, and do not agree that. My view can be greatly substantiated by the foll owing discussions.
In the first place, the important reason that can be presented to develop my pos ition is that…… A good example may be found in the case that…… Under this cir cumstance, it is obvious that….
In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this statement. The reason is not so far to seek…… To illustrate, let us consider that ……Hence another equally important aspect is that……
Admittedly, it may be true that …… , in some conditions. However, this alone d oes not constitute a sufficient support to claim that……Actually, these cases ar e rare and therefore are too specific and too weak to strengthen the view that…. . When the advantages and disadvantages of X and Y are carefully examined, the mo st striking conclusion is obvious that……
To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with ea ch other to generate an integral whole and thus become more convincing than any s ingle one of them, we may be comfortable to say that……, because ……
ARGUMENT:
In this argument, the author concludes that… To support his conclusion, the aut hor points out that…. In addition, the author reasons that… Further more, he al so assumes that … . At first glance, the author’s argument appears to be someho w appealing, while a close examination will reveal how groundless it is. We do no t have to look very far to see the invalidity of this argument. This argument is problematic for the following reasons.
In the first place, this argument rests on a gratuitous assumption that …. Howe ver, the assumption is questionable because the author provides no evidence to su pport this argument. The arguer fails to take into account other facts that might contribute to the result that …….. It is likely that , ……………..; it is als o likely that ………………………… Any of these scenarios, if true, would show th at ………………Therefore, this argument in question nee not to be accepted withou t ruling out such possibility.
In the second place, the argument commits a logic fallacy of “after this and th erefore because of this”. In no case can the mere fact that… be cited as eviden ce to support the assumption that there is a causal-effect relationship between A and B. Moreover, that just because B can be statistically correlated with A does not necessarily mean that A is the cause of B. In fact, the author has obviously neglected the possibility of other alternative facts such as…, or … may contri bute to a certain extent to B. It may be only a coincidence that …… . Unless th e author can rule out other factors relevant to …, this assumption in question c an not be accepted.
In the third place, the evidence that the author provides is insufficient to sup port the conclusion drawn from it. One example is rarely sufficient to establish a general conclusion. Unless the arguer can show that A1 is representative of all A, the conclusion that B… is completely unwarranted. In fact, in face of such l imited evidence, it is fallacious to draw any conclusion at all.
In the fourth place, the argument has also committed a false analogy fallacy. Th e argument rests on the assumption that A is analogous to B in all respects, and the author assumes without justification that all things are equal, and that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different l ocations. No evidence is provided to support this assumption. However there are a ll kinds of important differences between ……. and other …making the analogy hi ghly less than valid. For example, A..., however, B....Thus lacking this assumpti on, the conclusion that … is entirely unfounded.
Last but no least, the validity of the survey on which the argument relies is do ubtful in itself. The survey cited by the author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not indicate who conducted this survey and when and how the survey is conducted, neither does it mention what is the sample size, or how the sample s are selected. Until these questions are answered the results of this survey are worthless as evidence to support that….
Besides, the author assumes that A and B are mutually exclusive alternatives and there is no room for a middle ground. However, the author has never offered any reasons or evidences for imposing an either-or choice. Common sense and observati on tells us that adjoining both A and B might produce better results.
In conclusion, the arguer fails to substantiate his claim that …. Because the e vidence cited in the analysis is too weak to lend strong support to what the argu er claims. To strengthen the argument, the arguer must convince us that…. In add ition, the arguer could have to provide more precise information to support his c laim.
