問:什么地方有GRE作文的免費、收費評估網(wǎng)站或相關(guān)資料?
    MAY 29 UWONCACN:
     以前我推薦過TWE評分網(wǎng)站,免費的是 http://www.lougheed.com/LC/main.htm (北美一位ESL教師個人網(wǎng)站,他已經(jīng)發(fā)了多篇關(guān)于TWE和ESL學生作文的研究文章和范文)ETS專門設有收費的TWE在線評測系統(tǒng),現(xiàn)在國內(nèi)已經(jīng)可以用這個系統(tǒng)了對GRE作文因為是最新消息要在今年增加GRE作文(www.gre.org/writing.html),所以網(wǎng)上還缺少這類專門網(wǎng)站,不過據(jù)我所知太傻網(wǎng)站在其論壇中新開了一個GRE作文主題討論區(qū)。在北美主要是一些教育出版商如PETERSON KAPLAN等出版了一些相關(guān)書目你可以上它們的網(wǎng)站看一些公開信息。
     不過按個人看法,GRE作文是對考生水平要求介于TWE和GMAT之間的一類規(guī)定時間的命題作文,實際上并太難。以下是摘自http://www.800score.com/gre-essay.html 的文章:How to tackle the Writing Assessment
     Students tend to under-prepare for the Writing Assessment section. This is ironic because it is the one section on the GRE where a small amount of preparation can make a huge difference on test day. To beat the Writing Assessment, you must learn how to write in a highly disciplined and concise manner.
     Be particularly concerned with structure. Clearly divide your essay into the introductory paragraph, two to three content paragraphs, and a conclusion. Take time out before you start writing to set up an organizational structure. Our Essay Guide includes sample essay templates for the Issue and Argument essays.
     Use transitional phrases, such as "first," "therefore," and "because," to help identify concepts between and within the paragraphs.
     Clearly state your critique in the Analysis of Argument essay. The Analysis of Argument question will show you an essay that is loaded with logical fallacies, such as the unwarranted assumption or the fallacy of equivocation. We include all the common logical fallacies in our Essay Guide's logic section (this makes for interesting reading regardless of
    whether you are taking the writing assessment).
     Practice, Practice, Practice. Try to do the essays in the 30-minute time frame. That is half the challenge. Always practice under timed conditions on a computer or take our practice essays for grading.
     實際上,GRE作文還是考查你的基本寫作能力,因為在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)不可能考查學生更多的能力水平。所以多寫一些IC,我此處推薦一個寫作HELP網(wǎng)站--h(huán)ttp://www.ruthvilmi.net/hut/LangHelp/Writing/index.html上面對常用的涉及寫作知識方法的網(wǎng)絡資源作了很好的總結(jié),可以作為寫作隨時參考的網(wǎng)站之用!
     針對GRE,我建議你先按ETS的提示,先:
     1. view the actual Issue topics, screen directions, scoring guide and sample essays; and the Argument topics, screen directions, scoring guide and sample essays 下載地點:
     http://www.gre.org/issuetop.html
     http://www.gre.org/essscore.html
     http://www.gre.org/argutop.html
     http://www.gre.org/analysar.html
     2.download An Introduction to the GRE Writing Assessment , which contains the topics, screen directions, scoring guides, and sample essays for both tasks 下載地點:ftp://ftp.ets.org/pub/gre/WritAssess.pdf
     3.review questions and answers from the graduate community about the GRE Writing Assessment read the procedures 下載地點:http://www.gre.org/questions.html 然后按樣文試著寫一些作文,你可以把它們發(fā)到http://www.lougheed.com/LC/main.htm 并注明是GRE作文請這位老師修改,客氣一些,這個人是很NICE的。不過多等幾天。
     也可以發(fā)到gter.net等網(wǎng)站,讓網(wǎng)友們給評估一下,關(guān)鍵在于多練習,練習多了自己也會明確自己的水平究竟如何。
     祝好!
