字號(hào):


    前段時(shí)間為gre考生匯總了gre issue寫作提綱思路和分析,希望對考生在攻破greissue寫作上有所幫助。接下來的幾天我們將為gre考生整理gre argument部分的提綱內(nèi)容。希望通過我們的整理和匯總,讓gre考生真正能掌握gre寫作的精髓。
    難易程度:★★★
    題目題材:食品,商業(yè)
    gre argument8題目:
    The following appeared in a memorandum issued by the strategic planning department at Omni Inc.
    "Mesa Foods, a manufacturer of snack foods that currently markets its products within a relatively small region of the country, has strong growth potential. Mesa enjoyed a 20 percent increase in profits last year(3,4), and its best-selling product, Diabolique Salsa, has had increased sales over each of the past three years(2). Since Omni Inc. is interested in reaching 14-to-25 year olds, the age group that consumes the most snack food(1), we should buy Mesa Foods(5), and concentrate in particular on marketing Diabolique Salsa throughout the country."
    gre argument8提綱:
    (1)The assumption that Mesa's snack foods appeal to 14-to-25-year­ olds is open to doubt.
    (2)The increased sales of Diabolique Salsa in the region where it is sold does not indicate that it will also gain success nationwide.
    (3)We do not know how large is the snack food market in the region where Mesa’s products are sold, thus the 20% increase may be insignificant.
    (4)Last year's 20% increase in Mesa's profits may be an aberra­tion, no evidence could indicate that this trend will continue in the future.
    (5)We do not know the profitability of other food products of Mesa Food, thus could not evaluate if Omni should buy the entire company.
      注:題目中括號(hào)里的數(shù)字表明這句話體現(xiàn)的是提綱中第幾號(hào)缺陷。
    無論是gre issue還是gre argument,考生都應(yīng)該養(yǎng)成寫提綱的習(xí)慣。這種提綱式的gre寫作練習(xí)可以幫助考生鍛煉寫作的邏輯性,而gre寫作高分最重要的得分依據(jù)就是作文的邏輯性要強(qiáng)。
