快速搞定GRE Issue写作

3个不纠结

第一，不能纠结辞藻的华丽，因为官方备考指导对于词汇的要求只有“effective”。

这就意味着我们是来穿着运动服跑鞋冲刺的，而非穿着礼服来品酒的，所以要表达“幸灾乐祸”， 你不必非要用8秒想出来8秒钟拼错schadenfreude，而最好用3秒钟写出来“laugh at others' bad luck”。

第二，不必纠结事例的真假，完全可以现编，因为官方备考指导规定hypothetical example是和real example可以一样用的。

这也很人性化，毕竟有些练习题难度较大，像第36原题“It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.”，我们如果难以想到Dr.dre通过认同匪帮说唱的社会群体来定义自己的音乐风格这样的真人真事，完全可以现编一个“小红通过认同瑜伽群体来定义内心深处的静静”。

第三，不必纠结政治性对错，依然是备考指导的规矩“there is no right or wrong”。所以面对美国考官可以尽情批判特朗普付给艳星封口费，完全不用顾虑考官的什么爱国主义偏见而导致分数低。

考前的笨功夫

如何享受在考场上遇到一个思维熟练的练习题二话不说直接提笔干倒的快感，答案无他，唯有准备。

扔掉备考资料，因为题目是随机抽选的，一个考场上每个人的题都是不一样的，放下原版《资本论》《奥德赛》这种软实力熏陶积淀，我们就聚焦官网上现成的练习题，149道，除去重复的部分，如果准备好其中的五分之二(即60道左右)，不用全写，每道有个清晰的思路即可，那么我们就不可能遇到陌生的题，从而免去了考场上现想带来的时间浪费。

毕竟，如果你v+q 330，但是写作3分，是很尴尬的。再考一次，哪怕是考试时间都要占去4个小时。而上面提到的60来道GRE写作题，每道题花5分钟构思一下思路，总共也就5个多小时。而这些思路也可以为今后美国寂寞的冷板凳学术生活准备好足够的聊天素材。

reason(剧本)写得越细

example(电影)演得越快

文章中，对于一个观点，如果你的reason写得很有力很具体，那么自然会省去很多现编example的时间。

前文说过example可以现编故事，那么这个故事的剧本就是reason，顺着这剧本填一些人物和事迹，一个example自然就搞定。

比如，观点是：无聊是向伟大过渡的桥梁。如果你的理由可以细密到这个地步：“很多伟大的突破往往来自于人们无聊时候的遐想，因为现有的方法已经无法满足他们的好奇心，他们不堪忍受这份无聊，所以才去另辟蹊径，创造伟大。”那么这里的example就非常好编了，我们只需按照这个reason来套用“一个音乐家A，他厌倦了古典乐，所以才发明了爵士乐 ”，直接搞定example。

再次强调，如果用一个词来概括，Issue考得就是why或者why not，所以reason，作为文章的核心部分，必须有力且细密。

给自己制造方便

能不写的就不写，比如多重题干：

Claim: While boredom is often expressed with a sense of self-satisfaction, it should really be a source of embarrassment.

Reason: Boredom arises from a lack of imagination and self-motivation.

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.

既然写作要求只让我们讨论对两者同意与否，而没让我们讨论二者之间的关系，那我们直接把claim and reason 当成fact 1 and fact 2 ,不要自取其恼，纠结于“reason”能不能解释“claim”。

fact 1 ：虽然伴随着自我满足，但是无聊导致尴尬。

fact 2：无聊来自想象力和激情的缺失。

先写骨架，后长肉

在考场上建议先把文章的核心骨架搭好，即正反方各自的position-reason-example, 如有时间剩余，再回头长肉，即扩充细节。因为我们已经把最重要的骨架搭好了，哪怕是血肉细节不那么丰满，我们也把最重要的逻辑成分写清楚了。

拿这道题来说：

To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities.

反：不应该。史前社会没有城市。部落文化。

正：应该。城市代表着一个具体的功能，NYC-finance, 三番-technoly

正：应该。城市之间的交互作用体现了社会的动态。A tech company in San Fransisco goes to NYC to go public.

每一段的骨架其实都可以凝缩成三句话来说，比如正方第二个观点， 我们可以先快速地把它的骨架搭好：

Another important societal characteristics revealed by studying cities is the dynamics between different functions.The reason is that no city can function alone and only through the angle of the interdependent relationship with other cities can we fully understand how cities would compete or complement each other. For example, a tech company from Shenzhen would go to Hong Kong for IPO.

这个时候如果考场还有剩余时间，我们就可以很有底气地回头填充一些细节了：

Another important societal characteristics revealed by studying cities is the dynamics between different functions.The reason is that no city can function alone and only through the angle of the interdependent relationship with other cities can we fully understand how cities would compete or complement each other. Also from this angle, we can trace the root cause of the evolution of certain parts of society and predict whether they would fade in the future. For example, a tech company from Shenzhen would go to Hong Kong for IPO…..

GRE issue写作优秀实例：新创意

题目：

Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals.When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone.

真正有创意的想法并非来自于群体而是来自于个人。当群体试图创新的时候，它的成员之间会被迫相互妥协，结果就是新想法趋于弱化而更接近于传统。大部分新想法都是来自于独立工作的个人。

正文：

I agree with the speaker on that truly innovative ideas arise from individuals.Nevertheless, it is unfair to claim unilaterally that the groups tend to weaken creative ideas without thinking of their positive effects on the ideas; it is equally important for groups to examine, modify, or even reject the ideas.

First of all, truly innovative ideas are destined to arise from individuals in that inter-personal thinking process is so far impossible. This is to say, when we sit still and have a cluster of phenomena, theories, statistics and so forth of a certain issue in our mind, we are thinking it over yet with no assistance at all. After all it is impossible for one to intrude into other's mind. Following this principle, innovative ideas spark off during the process of meditation, and they are the produced by one's own effort. It is equally possible, however, for people to be inspired by each other, yet this is by no means assistance in thinking. Clues, hints, inspirations are to remind people of things ignored or taken for granted, but have nothing to do with the process of thinking, that is, to sort out the whole vision and draw conclusion. In one word, innovative ideas arise from meditation, which is solely limited within one body, one brain. Therefore innovative ideas are always the product of individual's work.

Nevertheless, it does not suggest that innovative ideas then have nothing to do with group work, and actually it is just the opposite. When a novel thought is brought up, it is of great importance to fully evaluate its validity, feasibility, and consequences if carried out. This point need no further illustration if we think of a father who resolutely stops his 6-year-old son from playing matches. The kid might have intended to try something new, driven by an innovative idea, yet the whole house might have caught fire also since the boy is incapable of dealing with accidents. This is the same case in academic fields. In a chemistry lab for example, a novel route design of synthesizing a new compound is never carried out without further evaluation. Practical conditions such as equipments, reagents, and economic efficiency, namely yield per cost, are always taken into consideration and sometimes restrict the application of those ideas.

This is to say, innovation is usually good but not always practicable. This claim is fully demonstrated in the political field. Governors of all levels must take holistic views of the situation and make balanced decision in order to avoid mistakes; innovative ideas alone cannot justify their practicability and goodwill to others. For instance, when we look back, the development of plastic industry has resulted in great loss in the global ecosystem. Thus we see the disastrous consequences of carrying out such innovative yet premature ideas.

Hence, it is necessary for the groups to assess, remedy, and conclude the value and use of innovative ideas. All innovative ideas should be brought to discussions. With the clash of skeptical attitude of others to the advocating behavior of the thinker, fallacies made in a haste can be easily found and eliminated, which rectifies, sometimes supplements the idea. I don't agree with the speaker on his/her judgment of group work as compromising, weakening and conventionalizing innovation. Group work promotes those justified and useful innovative ideas and rejects those invalid, sometimes dangerous ones, as we see the case between father and son, in a chemistry lab, in all nations around the world. Only after the group censorship can the innovative ideas be carried out and benefit people, and this is the time when its innovativeness is fully appreciated.

In conclusion, I concede that most original ideas arise from individuals, yet I believe the group effort on these ideas should never be downplayed. It is the group that judge,reject or develop these ideas; this process is equally important with the innovative thinking.

GRE issue写作优秀实例：政治领袖

题目：

Unlike great thinkers and great artists, the most effective political leaders must often yield to public opinion and abandon principle for the sake of compromise.

不同于伟大的思想家和艺术家，最杰出的政治领袖通常都必须为了妥协而屈从于大众的意见并且放弃原则。

正文：

With the respect of history, today’s democratic structure of politic roots deeply in ancient Greek philosophers’ advocation for the respect of public and individual beings,their admiration of the egalitarian, and the eagerness for justice as well as the electoral system specially devised to surpvise those in power. The Renaissance taking place in Europe and the democratic Revolution booted up by Napoleon in France both have produced great thinkers who demand the restriction of the politicians’ power and authority, labeling the end of an era in which politicians could lay their hands on almost every objects of demand. Driven by this trend, the contemporary politicians ostensibly deprived of certain freedom enjoyed by most artists and scientists could no longer behave in the way they would like to. These people, taking the responsibility of the democratic government, are restrained from several aspects. These restriction mainly comes from the public’s desire and different groups’ attitudes.

Although being neglected sometimes, the artists and the scientists still adhere to their own responsibilities, appear undisturbed and display astonishing indifference to the public. Such right is deserved as to artists and scientists, since their insightful thoughts and complicated feeling about life far go beyond what normal people may achieve.Frustrated and deterred by these maestros, publics turn to the other extreme―ignoring these great thinkers and even cursing them as heretics that destroy the current harmony. Again, scientists and artists enjoy the freedom to obliterate the influence laid on them by the mundane world since their interests are just focused on the exploration of the purity of the truth and reciprocating the perfect memory of the past or wonderful visions about future, rather than caring for the public’s benefits.

During such process, they just jump out of the world and objectively describe it, any scorns or restrictions are treated as part of the object they are proceeding, and this is just the hits of their successes. Sometimes, certain behavior that even force the community members away from communicating with these elites are taken as pride in that artists and scientists could employ their free time to continue their interest.

On the other hand, never would the politician own such comparatively broad freedom. As for a politician, the key to success in politics is to gain and maintain political power.Such power comes from certain identification of the public morality with the politician’s private one and the balance of different groups’ benefits and demands. Consequently,the politician’s attitudes, behavior and even the life style are tightly restricted for fear that any diversion from public’s taste may conduce to losing authority which is a real tragedy for a politician. To be an effective political leader excludes the opportunity that a politician may taste the freedom of the same merits as that enjoyed by artists and scientists, the freedom characterd by consciously seperating oneself from commentary and neglecting the demands made by majority. The successful leadership could be achieved by submerging oneself into the public and being sufficiently prepared for sacrificing some freedom for the majority’s benefits.

It is always funny to imagine what will happen to a special politician who could share a scientist or an artist’s freedom. When this politician is bored at the legitimate meeting that is being broadcast by media agencies, he escape to have a chess with his child.Subsequently, critics begin to accumulate the dissatisfaction of the public to attack this leader’s lacking responsibility of the public affairs. Moreover, he may again utilize the freedom to isolate himself from the public pressure by flying out to have a summer holiday. Then, only one thing can be assured, our special politician is deprived of the right to initiate his power which is a symbol of the end of his political life.

The development of technology and recognition of our society require both politicians and insightful thinkers. However, the democratic system of our contemporary world fixes two distinct sets of freedom that could enjoyed by them. While we agree that artists and scientists enjoy the comparatively broad one, we can not expect the political leaders to have opportunity to taste it.
