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:生產(chǎn)
題目:
The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures men's clothing.
"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of high-quality wool fabric, we discontinued production of our deluxe alpaca overcoats. Now that we have a new fabric supplier(1), we should resume production(5). This coat should sell very well: since we have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat(2), there will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price of most types of clothing has risen in each of the past five years(3,6), customers should be willing to pay significantly higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago(4), and our company profits will increase(7)."
提綱:
(1)The author fails to substantiate the assumption that the new fabric supplier will be a reliable supplier of alpaca, and fails to provide any information about the quality of the fabric they supply.
(2)The fact that competitor stopped making alpaca coats may just indicate diminishing consumer demand for them.
(3)Other factors may change during the past five years.
(4)The assumption that consumers will be willing to pay significant higher prices for alpaca overcoats is unwarranted.
(5)The author fails to consider the possible cost of resuming production.
(6)The fact that clothing prices have been steadily increasing for five years suggests that consumers might have less disposable income for purchasing items such as alpaca coats.
(7)The memo's claim that the company's overall profits would increase thereby is unwarranted.
注:題目中括號里的數(shù)字表明這句話體現(xiàn)的是提綱中第幾號缺陷。
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)。
