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：地產(chǎn)，商業(yè)
題目：
The following appeared in a memo from the president of a company that builds and sells new homes in Steel City.
"Over the past five years, the population of Steel City has increased by more than 20 percent, and family incomes in Steel City have risen much faster than the national average(4). Nationwide(7), sales of houses priced above $150,000 have increased more than have sales of lower-priced houses(5). Such data indicate that we should make changes in our business to increase company profits(6). First, we should build fewer low-priced houses than we did last year and focus instead on building houses designed to sell at above $150,000(2,3). Second, we should hire additional workers so that we can build a larger total number of houses than we did last year(1)."
提綱：
(1)The argument relies on an unsubstantiated assumption that area demand for new housing will support additional home construction in the foreseeable future.
(2)Granted that more residents will purchase new houses, we cannot guarantee that they will choose expensive houses.
(3)The speaker relies on other tenuous assumptions that area residents interested in buying new homes can afford homes priced over $150,000.
(4)We do not know the base amount of the population and average family income in Steel City, thus the increase may not support the proposed home construction.
(5)The speaker does not provide accurate data regarding the sales of expensive houses and lower-priced houses respectively and we cannot evaluate the actual market of each kind of houses.
(6)The speaker does not take into account some negative effects of the proposal such as the cost, difficulty in selling expensive homes, etc.
(7)Nationwide statistics can say little about the demand and preference of the local residents.
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)。
