在GRE考試中，GRE作文的重要性是GRE考試重要的一部分，針對網(wǎng)友的意見，出國留學網(wǎng)GRE考試頻道特意整理了有關(guān)GRE作文考試真題、GRE作文經(jīng)驗、如何攻克GRE作文難關(guān)等等各類資料。
新GRE考試中，作文總分是6分，如何取得GRE寫作5分以上的好成績呢?或許很多學生會對是否能得到這么高的分數(shù)持懷疑態(tài)度。那么請看下面的講解。
首先是ISSUE部分評分標準：從最高6到0分。
SCORING GUIDE FOR PRESENT YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON AN ISSUE
GRE ESSAY SCORING GUIDE: PERSPECTIVE ON AN ISSUE SCORE
6 A 6 paper presents a cogent, well-articulated analysis of the complexities of the issue and demonstrates mastery of the elements of effective writing.
滿分作文的標準：表現(xiàn)出對語言的把握(mastery)，對題目的深刻理解(complexities)，并且cogent。
A typical paper in this category
develops a position(看到了嗎，a position,要選取一個角度)on the issue with insightful reasons and/or persuasive examples (看到OR了嗎，所以沒有例子也可以，如果你可以congent并且給出非常insightful的理由)。
sustains a well-focused, well-organized discussion(關(guān)于文章結(jié)構(gòu)的要求)
expresses ideas clearly and precisely
uses language fluently, with varied sentence structure and effective vocabulary (關(guān)于語言的要求的，你對語言的mastery就應(yīng)該從這幾個方面體現(xiàn)出來。)
demonstrates superior facility with the conventions (grammar, usage, and mechanics) of standard written English but may have minor flaws(這個minor flaws是建立在不影響理解的基礎(chǔ)之上。)
1Topic: Generalists vs. Specialists
Present your perspective on the issue below, using relevant reasons and/or examples to support your views.
"In our time, specialists of all kinds are highly overrated. We need more generalistspeople who can provide broad perspectives."
SAMPLE-1 (score:6)
In this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, both positive and negative effects among persons in Western society call for a balance in which there are both specialists and generalists.
這一段heme: specialist and generalist這個就是general statement。一些朋友拿文章出來修改的時候我經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有一個引子，一個general statement.缺少這個部分的文章是得不到高分的。
Specialists are necessary insgroupsto allow society as a whole to properly and usefully assimilate the masses of new information and knowledge that have come out of research and have been widely disseminated through mass global media.肯定了specialist的必要性。句式不錯，幾個定語從句套在一起。As the head of Pharmacology at my university once said (and I paraphrase):"I can only research what I do because there are so many who have come before me to whom I can turn for basic knowledge. It is only because of each of the narrowly focussed individuals at each step that a full and true understanding of the complexities of life can be had. Each person can only hold enough knowledge to add one small rung to the ladder, but together we can climb to the moon." This illustrates the point that our societies level of knowledge and technology is at a stage in which there simply must be specialists insgroupsfor our society to take advantage of the information available to us.
Simply put, without specialists, our society would find itself bogged down in the Sargasso sea of information overload. (Figurative expression) While it was fine for early physicists to learn and understand the few laws and ideas that existed during their times, now, no one individual can possibly digest and assimilate all of the knowledge in any given area.
闡述的很清楚，語言也很簡單
On the other hand, Over specialization means narrow focii in which people can lose the larger picture.
這個句子一看就知道快要引出另外一個主角generalist了，這個主題句是對過度專業(yè)化的一個否定。
No one can hope to understand the human body by only inspecting one‘s own toe-nails. What we learn from a narrow focus may be internally logically coherent but may be irrelevant or fallacious within the framework of a broader perspective. Further, if we inspect only our toe-nails, we may conclude that the whole body is hard and white. Useful conclusions and thus perhaps useful inventions must come by sharing among specialists. Simply throwing out various discovieries means we have a pile of useless discoveries, it is only when one can make with them a mosaic that we can see that they may form a picture.
