    作為GRE作文改革的一大變化,ETS為所有的ISSUE作文都附上了一個(gè)寫(xiě)作指引;結(jié)合具體的ISSUE題目類型,每道ISSUE題目后面的寫(xiě)作指引有可能是下面六個(gè)中的一個(gè),具體如下:
    1. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position* you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
    2. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing andsupporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
    3. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.
    4. Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
    5. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
    6. Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
    可以看出,這六種寫(xiě)作指引都是由兩句話組成。前一句實(shí)質(zhì)意義都不大,關(guān)鍵的指引在后 一句。其中,3.4.6的后半句尤為典型。
    指引3的后一句 “be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position"是要求考生“一定要論及自我立場(chǎng)的對(duì)立方會(huì)用哪些最有力的 理由和例證來(lái)挑戰(zhàn)自己的觀點(diǎn)”。這實(shí)際是要求考生在作文中一定要論及反方立場(chǎng),所以,必 須從兩方面寫(xiě)。
    指引6一般出現(xiàn)在后面馬上就要講到的建議類ISSUE題目中。這個(gè)指引的后一句 “consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy"是要求考生必須要考慮到題目中 一項(xiàng)政策提議或建議的可能后果。常識(shí)告訴我們,當(dāng)提出一項(xiàng)建議,就要求考慮該項(xiàng)建議的可 能后果,此時(shí)要考慮的內(nèi)容只能是實(shí)施那項(xiàng)建議所可能導(dǎo)致的不良后果。這樣,建議本身以及 建議可能產(chǎn)生的后果又構(gòu)成一個(gè)問(wèn)題的兩個(gè)方面,所以,又必須從兩方面來(lái)寫(xiě)。
    至于指引4的后一句“you should address both of the views presented”,這已經(jīng)是直白地要 求考生一定要論及題目中兩個(gè)不同或矛盾的立場(chǎng)。不從兩方面寫(xiě)是不可能了。等到讀者看到具體帶有指引4的ISSUE題目,就會(huì)非常清楚這個(gè)指引的實(shí)質(zhì)了。
    實(shí)際上,指引2也幾乎總是出現(xiàn)在建議類ISSUE題目中。這個(gè)指引的后一句"describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous” 要求考生在作文中一定要論及題目中的建議“會(huì)導(dǎo)致有利或不利的結(jié)果的具體情形”。考慮一 個(gè)建議的正、反兩種結(jié)果的思路,體現(xiàn)在作文中只能是從兩方面寫(xiě)的思路。
    帶有指引1和指引5的ISSUE題目本身沒(méi)有明確提示要從兩方面寫(xiě),但大家隨后在理解和 應(yīng)用“1+5”寫(xiě)作模型的時(shí)候會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),對(duì)這兩類ISSUE題目采用兩方面寫(xiě)的策略的話,會(huì)感覺(jué) 無(wú)論切入題目分析還是展開(kāi)寫(xiě)作思路都非常方便和自然。
