对于备战GMAT作文考试的人来说,可以通过总结和归纳一些常见的GMAT作文备考和应试方法来提高自己在GMAT考试备考阶段的实际效率,下面就给大家带来一个非常实用的GMAT作文考试策略。
GMAT作文快速成文法:
1 做模版:不用找什么马思德,就拿几片范文,找几句比较拽的结构型句子,拼凑出一个你自己顺手的框架即可。不用到处找,也不用找很多,一个框架即可,当然,准备一些可以替换的词:比如recommendation替换conclusion.漂亮句子很多,但“若水三千,我只掬一瓢饮”。
2 找出主要的错误类型,每种写出一道两句经典的表述即可。
3 考时30分钟分三个阶段:一)12-15分钟,写出完整的第一段,三个征文段的topic sentence,和完整的末段。写第一段的同时就构思topicsentence,末段无非是重复结论和三句topic。这样的好处是结构已经完整了,你不用慌了。(其实已经有3分了)。二)13-10分钟,完成三段正文。我以前觉得这个很困难,后来想通了。无非是把这层意思说清楚就行。3句话就够了。也够长了。三)5分钟check.还一个作用时,是在前面没有完成,还有一个buffer,也不至于弹尽粮绝。
4 非常措施:考试万一时间不够,首段就抄原句(当然6分就没有了);如果时间还不够,末段就cut-paste首段和topic 的文本,稍加修改即可(当然5分就没有了)。但是,结构是完整的。
5 gmat快速成文法的精髓和适用范围:精髓:“看上去很美”。适用范围:不想得6分的人(因为想的6分的人追求的是“实际上也很美”。如果运气好,可以的5分,运气不好,可以的4分。
Argument模板
我做了开头和结尾的,中间几段一字没变的背了别人写好的七宗罪,考试的时候挑对的上的写。我考的时候一共对上了三个罪,即中间写了三段。
开头:
The recommendation endorsed in the argument is that ...(改写题目观点). The author employs several lines of reasoning to reach this conclusion. In the first place, the author reasons that ...(原因一). Furthermore, the author reasons that ...(原因二). At first glance, the author’s argument appears to be somewhat convincing, but further reflection reveals that it is based on some dubious assumptions.
结尾:
In summary, the conclusion reached in the argument is both invalid and misleading. To persuade me that ...(改写题目观点), the author would need to provide clear evidence that ...(支持题目的证据一) and that...(支持题目的证据二). In addition, to better evaluate the author ’s claim we would need more information ...(信息内容,如about或doing). Only with these more convincing evidence and proper information could this argument become more than just an emotional appeal.
Issue模板
中间几段只给出了思路,想着考试的时候按题目发挥。。
但是我考的时候不完全是按这个思路写的,我写的那篇没找到可以admittedly的内容,我就按主体分了三段用平行关系写下来了。比较急,所以句子不会出彩。总结一下,还是写了五段一共。
Introduction:
It has been a received and uncontroversial opinion that … (常识,共识或现象---写比题目范围更大的话)
1. 改写题目(词性,句子结构,动作发出者,同义近义词)
2. Thesis Statement(中心句,给出立场)
同意:The more attentively I consider and investigate the reason why ...(支持的观点), the more I become convinced that they are cogent and conclusive.
反对:However, far too little attention has been paid to ...(明显缺点), and this consequently creates the glaring shortcomings in the argument above.
部分同意: As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as a valid conclusion in all circumstances. The final judgment always relies on a careful case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, I partially consent to the speaker’s opinion that ...(支持部分), but I do not agree with him that ...(反对部分).
3. My positions are based on a deep and fundamental analysis as discussed below.
View1:
1. First of all, ...
2. 过渡句(改写上句,指明论述思路,下定义,分类)
3. 支持句(子view),解释句(原因,类比,假设,直驳),小结论---一到两部分
或:举例(具体事实+解释分析),小结论
View2:
1. In addition, ...
2. 过渡句(改写上句,指明论述思路,下定义,分类)
3. 支持句(子view),解释句(原因,类比,假设,直驳),小结论---一到两部分
或:举例(具体事实+解释分析),小结论
让步:
1. Admittedly, there is no denying that...(可能被攻击的点)in some conditions. As we know, ...(具体化弱点).
2. While it may be true that ...(改写可能被攻击的点), ...(被攻击点有偶然性,被攻击点可避免,被支持方比对方更优).
3. As a result, this point alone does not constitute a sufficient support to...(相反观点).
Conclusion:
As I stated, issue of ... (改写题目)is a complex one, requiring subjective judgment. Due to the reasons discussed above, which sometimes intertwine to form an organic whole and thus become more persuasive, a conclusion can be safely reached that ...(重申支持和反对)
