以下是引用gmatandmba在2006-9-14 9:29:00的发言:我的评价:一定很打动洋人,但是观点有些稚嫩。引用的论据和思考的角度完全是党教育的产物。试举一例比如"However, later on I learned a completely different story about Chinese modern history. From British opium to Japanese troupes, from the civil war to the Cultural Revolution, the glorious civilization seems collapsed over night. "就像高中的历史教材中某些话的翻译。真实的历史不是这么简单的。如果有人说这读完了能体会出作者的爱国之情,我觉得那就稍微有点狭隘民族主义情节了。当然从文章的着眼点,似乎到不了能给人那些震动的地步。毕竟是一篇为了争取录取而写的essay。不得不承认的是这种办法倒是很有创意。 综合评论;用党的宣传方式来感动洋人。很讨巧!棒!作者绝对是好的做marketing的人才,就像张艺谋拍的中国电影,懂得洋人心理来打动洋人。 我的收获很大。作者用了种很讨巧的方式把几个主题串在了一起。从这里可以读出作者的用心“Looking at China, I see history and reality, glory and pain, culture and people, desperation and hope, and I also see myself a part of all these kaleidoscopic images. I think, what I care most being what I belong to is simply human nature. ” 其实不就是几种essay题目的综合吗?所以很感谢有人把这篇文章刨了出来,我知道怎么写那种没有命题的作文了! A lot of times, you do need to think of the audience – you don’t have to please them by saying something that is untrue, but you need to let them to understand what you want to say. In fact, neither the British opium nor the Japanese troupe was written for entertaining the reader, however, the joke about the origin of Pizza was a teaser. The overall structure of the essay was intended to be easy to follow, as this was a very long essay (more than 1300 words) and it would be very easy to get the reader tired or lost with such a length – don’t forget they read thousands of essays. |
