原则一：“大胆创新，敢于说‘不’”。
这个原则是就思想内容本身而提出的，主要就ISSUE而言。之所以如此，是因为现在的题库中有太多显而易见的明显带有“常识偏见性”的话题，比如下面我们要举例说明的这一题：
33."Creating an appealing image has BECome more important incontemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that image."
我想大部分考生在现场一定会不约而同地对这道题说“DISAGREE”，因为传统的教育和是非观很容易让我们接受这样的一个观点——“人不可貌像，海水不可斗量”。这样，ETS胆敢认为“表面的虚浮外表比实质的东西重要”，充分暴露了它资本主义没落腐朽的罪恶本质和虚伪贪婪的丑恶嘴脸，于是打笔一挥，打他个鼻青脸肿再说。不可否认，这个话题写“否定”符合正常价值观和正常思维，比较容易找到地方下手，但是平常我们在训练准备作文时，应该在遇到这类“难于从反面论证”的题目尽量摈弃这种正常思维，而锻炼自己的“创新思维”，即敢于对自己的“陈规思维”说“不”！大家可以发现，ETS找来的每道话题都是经过严格的筛选和试验的，以保证其客观性和公正性，从而无论你对该话题持什么态度，都不会影响你在现实中的表现，从而每个观点阐述就是一种思维逻辑的“游戏”，ETS不是要看你的思想观点到底出不出格，而是看你将任何一个你所持有的观点论证的天衣无缝。因为在ISSUE中，你完全可以将一个漏洞百出的话题包装成真理，同样也可将真理辩驳成天大的谬误，这没有关系，对于一个特别注重“新思维”开发的美国人来说，创新思维无疑是他们最钟爱的东西，这也就是高分作文的一个捷径——求新求异！我始终相信，只要肯往这方面想，思维的马达很容易就开动起来，通过不断练习，你真的会发现你的一手“铜齿铁牙”已经足以让你在GRE作文的考场上称雄称霸，“满分”是意料中的事。下面我提供两篇范文，第一篇是正常思维论辩，第二篇则是从AGREE的角度来论证，读者可以从中参详一二。

As a prevalent proverb saying " the mentality for pulchritude isapplicable to any one", from the time of primitive age, people havestarted to pick up some natural raw materials, most of which havechromatic colors or exotic configurations, to embellish their simplefurniture, hunting tools, also the clothes people dress themselves, soon and so forth. The tradition has been handed down until today, butgreat difference has been appeared to the major use of decoration forappealing image, instead of the mainstream for beauty, it now turns tothe recommendation to any other else under the circumstance of coveringthe real face behind the image, which is actually important than theformer creativity.
It is not unfathomable that the ballooning civilization incites theresidents of our community to behavior more and more graceful anddecorous, which if reflects onto the side of ordinary life theappearance of a person together with his ornamentation is thepredominant embodiment. To show respect to your friends the moment todisplay your polished civility, you should dress neatly, and prepare anelaborated wrapped gift to realize the goal mentioned above, thustaking the use of the creation of an appealing image. And theimportance in personal relationship and communication is too ponderousto be neglected.
However, when we put so much attention on the process ofconstructing an attractive image, do we ever think about what takesmajor effect is just the object itself rather than the elaboratedappearance? Take the merchandise for instance, the more dazzling theimage is, the more the price it is, the difference between a wrappedone and an original one is paid on these seemly futile except for somesilly placation individually. Everything should have a deserved value,which is regarded as the fundamental principle of the market operation,tells us that the price should as near as possible to adhere to thereal value of the commodity consumers really intend to have instead ofthe illicit extortion by adopting some alluring tricks such as thesemeretricious skins. Hence, from the perspective of vast consumers, whocare most is the actual quality of the things they want to purchase,the creation of appealing image aggravates the benefits belong tocustomers, meanwhile gives a disguising shield to help some profiteersto snatch extra bonus originally not merited.
Besides for these side effects it can produce, when applied to themask of human nature, what is more important directly determines thedestiny of humanistic mentality. A charismatic man only can rely on hiswisdom and disposition to appeal others, in that any material thingsall cannot stand the erosion of time elapsing, while the intrinsicspirit cannot extinguish with the ascendance of ages, only altered withhuman's own intellectual quality. From the skit of "Hypocriticalgentleman" we clearly learns that even if how perfect a man dissembleshimself and how much approbation he at first win over from the public,ultimately falsehood will be penetrated and he still can go backnowhere but the initiative himself. Thereby, the lasting attractivenessstems from the unique face veiled under the cover of the superficialmask.
Overall, despite the beautiful appearance always can gamble thefirst-eyed excellent impression, either for things or for humans, nobetter ideas to be taken than to consider more about the decorum andquality of itself, only through this can we make out the real valueneeded for enamor and evaluation, which teaches us the virtue ofsticking to truth, the most important things for ever.

I support enthusiastically the idea that in contemporary society"creating an appealing image" is much more important than the realityor truth behind it. What I stick to this preference for is based onlarge amount of personal experiences and reported statistics.
From the childhood we are encouraged to study industriously as tofind a well-paid occupation, and to attain this hankering, endlesssweats and bloods have been exhausted from our revere parents. When theday finally comes for graduation, we really have been ready to welcomea new life. But, do you ever think of this question, "Are you actuallyshape yourself as what you intend to be during the long-range learninglife?" Obviously, until your first earned single penny arriving at yourhands nothing can be illustrated. Similarly, an elaborate productequipped with most advanced technology after tens of years' research,could be approbated by public, no words might be more convincing if itis enabled to be successfully pushed to the top sales in the commercialmarket.
Then, the problem is be disinterred from the surface of reality,what is functioning as the major role in the "sale", either thecommodity is "yourself" or some "product". A recent survey reported onan official journal reveals that this year almost 50% of the graduatescannot find favorable job, among which more than half of them even haverelatively wonderful resume and education background. How can they failto sell themselves out at an ideal price? In the process of survey, thesurveyor also surprisingly found that many famous companies wouldrather like to pick up the interviewers whose image is fashionable andcharacteristic than those who are deprived of this disposition, inspite of their diplomas are much brilliant than the former ones. Thesurvey does evoke my deepest thoughts in my mind.
Why those companies who are famous for their practical strategieshave established such standards to choose their recruits? Well,finally, according to my field research, the answer is too obvious tobelieve. In the employing market, what you can do is to displayyourself like a piece of artwork and then wait for your connoisseur.Then how can you expect your ideal employer will exclaim to you, "I'lltake this!, absolutely!" ? Instead of examining your practicalcapability to fit in the particular work of his apartment, which infact is not qualified to the real conditions at that moment, he merelyjustifies your ability through the image appeared in front of him, asthe principles tightly held for him that an appealing image is acrucial reflection of the actual substance. Till now, you can easilydistinguish the importance of the image, and the reality or truth,before being uncovered under the sun, leave it where it is; it's hisdestiny. As to the commodity, more facile understanding can be digestedin that a taking skin outside the material body is a good propagandaand appealing incentive to lure people's desire for acquisition.
Hence, it is for quite a simple reason that such appealing image hasbeen becoming more and more momentous: without it, no matter howperfect the reality or truth behind it, no opportunity can they berendered as their real value escaping the tragedy criticized as zero,just as the end of the survey report saying, many interviewers sadlycurses themselves with tears to prefer to never have it.

总结：新思想的形成的确需要不断的积累和思考，并非“一朝一夕之功”，但是对于实现GRE作文之“思维争辩”目的是极其有益的，正是由于这个原因，笔者希望考生能够在准备阶段按下列三个步骤仔细思考一下“创新思维”的养成：
(1)想别人之未曾想，即对每个话题挖掘出意想不到的点子和深度，可借助上文说的“反向思维”。
(2)说别人之所遗漏，即别人未点到的方面，你可以用顺承的方法继续下去，挖掘出全新的立意。
(3)言别人之所未言，即别人已对该话题的方方面面已有涉及，但是可以有全新的语言和视角来重新表达。

GRE作文的结构性　　很多考生都有这样的深刻体会，从开始写作文到最后基本入门，总是被一条条无形的“规则”或“套路”把持着，写得多了之后自己看着也难受，苍白无力。而且，要突破这些往往变得不现实，因为有太多的东西失去了她的维系之后，便恍然像断了线的风筝，越飘越远。现在市面上包括广大考生手里视为“至宝”的书，其实都是把大家的思路框在一个狭窄的笼子里，题目一来，就鸡、鸭、兔分分类，关到特定的笼子里，然后塞点修饰，就算完成。无可否认，对于很多考生来说，靠这些能够保证一定程度的“高分”无可厚非，但是就写作宗旨而言是极其“反动”的，许多培训机构讲义及书籍上列出的提纲，“闪光句”，模板，都是导致今天许许多多考生作文雷同的根源，且直接需为他们思维的“僵化”负全责。大量的不经过仔细思索和推敲便背诵大量模式化的开头，正文及结尾套路既费时又收效不尽人意，是时候该丢掉那些所谓的“权威”论断，重新思索一下作文的“结构性”对策了。那么，我们先解决这样一个前提：作文要不要套路？要，一定要！所谓 “不成规矩，无以成方圆”，作文的章法套路是一篇文章成功的保障。与前面论述的不同，我这里要提出的“章法”不在于“形”，而在于“神”。说的挺玄，是不？看下去就明白了。1.ISSUE结构性指导　　ISSUE是种开放性话题，涉及的题材多样及覆盖面广是GRE作文的一个特色，而正是这点使得整体的“万能套路”往往穿戴得极其勉强，于是我们可以分类处之。分类流行的有两种，一种是按题材分，可以分为11大类(作者主张“飞跃”分类)：学习，科技，历史，传媒，文化，国际，教育，社会，政治，行为，艺术。这种分类旨在让你按照题材去阅读背诵相应的文章或资料来扩充论据，严密论证过程，但是就这里要谈的套路结构而言，没有任何实质性的帮助。于是我推崇第二种分类，话题拟制类型分类，可以分为极其简单粗糙的3类：should, which one, single。我着重要分析入手的就是这三类题型的写作“套路”。在这之前，首先提出两个前提：第一，本文完全赞成“五段式”作文，即正文保持“3段”，故模式也是“3段论法”；第二，开头结尾统一自由化。开头的作用就是点题和正确回应，是告诉阅卷人切题的宣言，所以保险的开头往往比较固定，有三种常见模式：(1)开门见山：直接回应话题观点，表明态度(2)谈古论今：从古代到现代来引出话题内容(3)故做深沉：间接涉及相关话题内容，一步一步引出自己的观点态度。这种开头往往被诸多考生所采用，但是由于一上来就没有直接回应，使得写到后来，原来的话题内容很容易被遗忘而陶醉在自我新构建的话题之中，造成“跑题”。因此，议论文中，开门见山永远是“首选”，最忌讳的就是许多考生自以为要“推陈出新”，而盲目创新，结果表现出连基本的写作常识都没有，只有从基本练起，才能逐步创新，切记！而结尾的任务与模式也基本有两条：(1)总结上文自己与话题的观点，勾勒全文论证概貌。(2)提出尚待履行的措施，建议等，并点描这样的后果。但是，结尾的失误也不在少数，主要是大多数考生有结尾的“意识”，却没有结尾的认识，为作结论而作结论，勉强地作结论，即将重点内容重复一遍就算做结论。我们说，结论在精神、内容和观点上应该与前文论述一致，然而不能是简单的重复，应该至少有以下两点区别：(1)结论部分提出的内容比前面的主体论述更具体、实在。(2)为了给读者留下深刻的印象，应将最精辟、美妙的词汇、句段等留到结论处。如此，开头与结尾可以有意识地往这些思路靠去，渐渐就会形成自己独特的模式而使自己的“首尾”部分变得有“个性”。下面我们重点分类探讨上面3种正文模式：(1) SHOULD类：题干中明确出示标志词“should”或意为“应该”如何如何的话题。比如：214."Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped."Should类话题一般都是采取“赞成”或“反对”，很少要“中和”的，因而基本的“套路”相当简单：1、阐述自己如此认为的基本理由；2、如果自己的观点正确，那么有什么良好的后果；3、这样做同时要注意的某些问题(或者可能带来的副作用)。下面就以上题附以范文说明：(范文)There are some children do indeed have some gift perhaps cannot be made sense properly by scientists and educators aggregating around ourselves and needing some special care especially for their cultivation regarding the education process. Some experts ever declared against separating the talented children from the ordinary group after quite a substantial cogitation involving the impact of such seclusion, the influence exerted on their germinal heart, and the probable arrogance may it produce lacerate their later lives. However, weighing the benefits of the special care, I am apt to support the idea of providing special education to those who embrace great potentials on some subjects like arts, music, and natural science, in moral principles.What impels and shocks me most onto such suggestion is the great waste reported thousands of times on journals and television media, which almost every time took place under the background of the innate special children performing exceptionally the first year staying with the ordinary packs but when came the graduation ceremony as far as the rear of the arrangement of transcripts he may stands, who, somebody ultimately scorned as, was a“mediocre”man. That should be, in my thought, the greatest blasphemy to these gifted children, who ought to be showed adequate respect and attention far different from other scanty of these brilliance. Most of them would surely be aggrieved just in that they step by step follow what the teacher told and instructed they lost the precious self-probity opportunities and make themselves awash under the surface of the ordinary and the banal. On the contrary, another report recently seen from yesterday's evening paper now come into my memory is an elated story about a poor boy who was imbued with the supernal talent of playing violin was disinterred from the poor district by an experienced professor and then he was taken to the college for free and given the special face-to-face personally instruction from the best maestro group. With the auspicious chance, finally he now has grown up as a shining star above the music territory. All of these, albeit may still not enough to make any authoritative assertion, can to some extent reflect the fresh fact that the potential covered under the soul stone of our cherubic talented children are somewhat like the natural fuel source, once exhumed in the sun, it can produce astounding power but while keeping it dormant, no good but a dead wish of the god.Taken some experiment schools adopting such children for instance, the splendid records elucidate nothing but the beneficial recommendation. In China, the famous“teenage class”constituted inside the eminent Chinese Scientific Technology University founded in Anhui province have cultivated hundreds of prodigies to be the pundits of what they excel in. As well known to the world, most of the gold medals of the Mathematic Olympic Games and other similar scientific tournaments are obtained by our Chinese teenage prodigies derived from this class. Also, quit a few top academician of the national scientific institution are the graduates of it, the immense function can be evinced from this academician's speech,”I gained what I am looking for and the priceless courage of fumbling in the dark here, the tribute complemented to my talent and the honor paid off back to my gift refinery.”Meanwhile, we should take care of the well-rounded education towards those gifted children avoiding the formation of the ill and biased personality. Special educations do mean some extent to distinguish from the ordinary routine but do not necessarily cut down the communication with the ordinary world we confront with every breath. Even the best technicians should also be the good civilian of the community, no exclusive person can survive longer and normally no matter how intelligent he or she is, the reason is so simple that once deprived of the opportunity of communication no exchange of emotional feels and academic ideas will consequently take place, which is essential for the sense of alive. Hence, possibly more important to appeal people's approbation, the normal channel for communication should not be barricaded by human's deliberately benevolent actions.In sum, the phenomenon of the treatments to these gifted children is such a controversial one that certainly some of us, of course, might still cast some doubt on my analysis, but at least what I discussed above to some degree shake the adamantly held reverse belief, which is one of my main purposes writing such a frank issue. The other one is something naïve that I hope more and more experts should excise to discern the talented ones and emancipate them out of the tragic drop, just BECause every one should share the same sense that they are no doubt the unique resources the God bestowed to us and once missed no measure can be compensated for the huge loss, left only silent cries. (809 words)评析：范文采用“故做深沉”的开头方式，从社会上某些专家的争议引出话题，并在首段末作出明确回应，从而确保切题，值得考生引以为鉴。紧接着作者按上述“三段论”模式一一就“理由”、“后果”与“问题”采取不同方式的论证来实现，从而使文章在结构上呈现出多元化和周到性，给阅卷人一种“坚不可摧”的震慑力，保证了论证的严密和条理。同时，本文的“因果论证”和“事例论证”也是堪称一绝的，读者可以反复体会一下如何实现多方位，多角度的论证手段来加固自己的长城。

WHICH ONE类：题干中明确要求考生做“二选一”的选择，比如：
99."In any realm of life—whether academic, social, business, orpolitical-the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather thanan idealistic point of view. PraGMATic behavior guarantees survival,whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, moreimmediate options."
由于是“二选一”，因而作文者有三种回应倾向：选A，选B或A，B中和。那么我们可以提炼出两种基本模式：
1、单选：1、选A(或B)的基本理由；2、选A的好处；3、相较之A，选B有什么坏处。
2、双选：1、选A的基本理由和好处；2、选B的基本理由和好处；3、A和B同时兼备的好处。
由于GRE作文开放式的话题，很少有东西“全坏”或“全好”，所以奉劝考生尽量学会使用“双选”模式，但是有志于“创新”的同学可以尝试用“单选”，它往往让你的作文“另类而出彩”，前面已有范文作过示范，请予以参照。下面的范文选用重点掌握的“双选”模式，读者注意其论证构思的过程。
(范文)
As one of the famous philosophers ever writes,“the dream leads oursights toward the future, and the practice make our sense recognize howfar away we still have to strive for.”During the recent decades,experts gradually have been divided into two opposite cultsrespectively holds their own belief of idealism and empiricism, andthrough thousands of fervid controversies the latter seems havingdominated the optimal status after showing the corroborative evidencestems from the practical exemplar in the process of societyconstructions. But, in my point of view, in this practical andcompetitive world, being practical is essential to one's survival, yetideals give us a direction in our pursuit of success.
We can with no difficulty to find out the obvious fact that anyhuman undertaking irrespective of the hard facts and rules of realityis destined to failure. Under the nib of Cervantes，the well knownSpanish fiction writer, we clearly see the antic portrait of aneccentric man named Don Quixote equipped with mid-aged sword and lancejust like a cavalier following by his allegiant servant. Severe fantasyof warfare separated from the bucolic reality drives him to thedesirous aspiration to shape himself to be a hero, which ultimatelycatalyzes his ingenuous thoughts into the abysmal hallucination thatcannot be dispelled by anything directly results in his tragedy. Thesimilar case also can be found in the early time of last century, whenthe efficient use of energy has been evolved to the most popular issueand its immense profits prospect incites thousands of top scientistsdevoted their life-long research into the study of“permanent mobilemachine”, something that once being given even a minor ignorable energycan it operate eternally to produce endless energy as feedback, whichat last after a long-range frustrated trials scientists findimmediately contradicts the energy-permanence law, the naturalprinciples applied to any existence in the world. Having realized thesource of the failure, more attention should be threw onto thedisciplines of action that focus on the conditional reality.
However, ideals give us hope and enthusiasm, lifting us to newheights and helping us to overcome self-imposed limitations. Today,most of the nations who embrace the world's most sophisticatedscientific technology ought to, in a sense, thank for thescientifically idealistic writers' sharing their affluent wisdom andimagination with the vast populace. The super-acoustic airplanes, theman-seated spaceship, and the artificial intelligence now all steps outof the exotic episodes of fictions into our everyday life, in thatinspirations themselves cannot automatically drop off from the empyreanbut be quarried from the deep soul of everyone, not just only thescientists because that's the common obligation for all members ofcommunity who are equal to them at this point of exploration.Scientists' contribution lies with the gift that using thosedescriptive originally materials in their efforts in trying to put theminto actuality. Without the idealistic raw materials given by ourwriters or even ordinary citizens, I believe that even though we hadmuch more experienced scientists no break-neck innovations would beworked out abruptly change every faCETs of human life.
Since the both paths surely in certain directions overlap, thetheory castle filled with a person or a nation can be both idealisticand pragmatic at the same time is thus surrounded by the untenablefosse. As a student, as soon as the beginning day of the semester mytutor always inculcate the pedagogy to me that any successful studentshould establish a further progress goal according to his or her ownactual situation then you will know where you are intended to go andhow much you have to go through for this attainment, as a typical casein point.
In sum, idealism and pragmatism cannot be arbitrarily secluded asabsolute contrary but indeed the seemly explicit boundary between themis somewhat flexible rather than unutterably rigid. The most effectivemeasure we should take in our practical action is then taking theformer as the fundamental blueprint while the latter as the conditionalbase on which the former design can fulfill.

Nowadays quite a lot colleges and universities have designed somehumanistic curriculum providing as something compulsory to thescientific major students while to the literary major also a modestquantity of scientific courses have been given in order to balance theproportion of both knowledge ken. It certainly symbols a sign thatdifferent academic disciplines are gradually coming to across and thebillow of the information currents is now blushing the explicitboundaries separating the major confluence, making them more and moreambiguous and impel them into the position of interrelated in that theknowledge of one field can sometimes shed beams of twilight on thestudies of other fields.
As what is now more popular and acceptable by many successfulentrepreneurs, the fresh idea of borrowing the dealing methods frommathematics to compensate the drawbacks of the traditional evaluationapproaches used in the field of economy is displaying a uniqueglamorous charisma. For instance, ancient merchants nearly always hadthe headache to cope with the data treatment, which can help them tomake clearly the trend of the offer-need relationship instructing themto adjust the weight of this relationship into approximately balancedavoiding the loss of the largely instilled investment. Obviouslyprimitive arithmetical approaches like simple counting, enumerating, orassorted fundamental calculation including the plus, minus, multiplyand divide must be far not enough, they were eager to conduce to a newconvenient weapon specially trenchant to tamp this gap, so thequantitative methods accordingly born to dislodge the strandedcommercial ship owing to generations of endless trials. Today's shrewdbusinessmen can easily deal with these problems just constitute a datarepository in their own computers installed with the powerful exploitedquantitative procedure software, no sooner do they enter the fluctuateddata into the storehouse than a mobile accurate diagram immediatelyfolded out in front of your sight, transforming with the change pace ofthe economy heart, surely the glamour of the collaboration of the twofields is.
If literary critics intend to put up a bulletin filled with someabstruse theory with their own unique clairvoyance, the principles ofphilosophy accumulated through several centuries are the best thingsthey should consider to resort to further their study domain. As afamous American literary critic ever wrote in his latestbook“Literature against Philosophy”, that both the subjects hereconcerned acts the roles of the brothers share in some common like thefeatures of genes and attitudes towards outer evaluations, yet fighteach other for the predominance of his own thinking rules in that theexistence of the common and concordance mentioned above. Many literaryworks inevitable dips into the field of philosophy in the form offurther exploring the deep ground of the hero or heroine's heart bydepicting the countenance or the behavior deriving from his or hernatural revelation, one of the eminent examples is the Mary Shelley'sappealing fiction "Frankenstein", the adept almost near the surface ofperfect description and metaphorical expression fixed thousands ofreader's eyes and souls onto the monster's fate and the hero's imminentmanic psyche, the philosophical analysis told us how it produces sohallucinating effect and weird atmosphere.
By the way, when biology and chemistry met, biochemistry came intobeing as a strong hybrid of the two independent parents. One of my bestfriends happens to be an excellent graduates major in bio-pharmacology,who once told me before entering the total systematic study of thisnewborn popular course, he must prepare the rationales of chemistryindispensable and necessary in later research assignments. After thecollection of the blood samples, we should certainly not directly putthem under the micro-instruments to observe and then make out thepapers about analysis of the results, as a prerequisite our researchershave to import some chemical reagents as an additive instilling intothe specimens to function with the blood ingredients, only after theprocess can we take them into analysis. Without the chemistry, biologyis just a pond of backwater and vice versa, any bio-chemical scholarought to taste the exceptional favor.
So much have been discussed in details covering three particulardomains, in a sense, illustrates the interrelationship is the guaranteeof the breakthrough of some certain academic topics, possibly in somespecial circumstances can also be generalized to a more broaden range.No field after all, I believe, can survive well surrounded by theasphyxiating academic buttress; the only escape is breaking it fromoutside.

2、层层深入式：首先树立起自己论证的对象，然后通过论证手段披露对象的特点，最后进行全面进攻。请参考以下范文：
161."In this age of intensive media coverage, it is no longerpossible for a society to regard any woman or man as a hero. Thereputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventuallybe diminished."
(范文)
Hero, the elites of our human groups, are all time alive in anylevel of social stages. But, following the break-neck development ofvarious fields of technology, a serial of problems accordingly come tobog us, one of them is the exclamation of the phenomenon-dilution ofthe concept "hero". As what is asserted at top line, heroes are notvacant at any time, so what's the root of this dramatic fact? Media,the media; just as a result of this modern product exorcises the longinherited convention of hero idolization.
In our childhood, what we most like to hear about is the splendidexperiences of our famous predecessors, like George Washington, theprimary president of United States, who also contributes large amountout of assessment to the final independence of the nation. Almosthardly to remember how many times having acclaimed for this or thatmiracle in his war life, and the ambition illuminated from hisencouraging stories, we still, however, remain the tepid admirationeven until today. While, let us have a look at today's conditions,heroes have been drawn by huge piles of information garbage, and thereal ones deserved our fervid accolade even finally loses his favor bythe collision of fashionable value-evaluate trend, such as the currentsof idolization towards those film stars.
No deniably, the unique price of hero is now decrying, which nevercan be evaluated at the same scale as ever before, owing to theoverwhelming power to concoct crowds of meretricious "heroes" by media.Information, the fundamental source of people have to every day relyon, is the major products like other commodities of the mediacorporation; then as a result, the quality and reality extent is whollymastered under the control of the media propaganda, so long as thepublication is strong enough, even sun can someday legitimately risefrom the west horizon. How can citizens tolerate such rules ofoperation to be compliant to these absurd tricks and consequentlybecome their allegiant followers?
And taking the instance of those who really could be responsible forthe entitled appellation of "hero", due to the overexposure of nearlyeach dimension of their lives (such as privacy, ordinary schedule, thesum of his property, so on and so forth), no singularity can he or shegives to us to enable us to respect them at all. Most of our primordialrespects stems from the presumption of their particularity orcharacteristics, which always occluded to public as an abstrusemystery, but once the born of media and the authorization for it tofreely reveal every corner of everything, the mysterious ages aredestined to not drive back again. Just like awakening from a sweetdream, people will find the hero idolized so many years is merely aperson too ordinary to be absolutely discriminated from we thesesimilarly ordinary ones. And with the disappearance of these veileddreams, "hero" eternally eludes into the history of past.
From the principles of natural laws, not a single type of speciescan be originated as personal will, nor with the extinction of certainphylum, while the media is trying their best to challenge against these"gold laws" to evince his revolutionary magic. Nevertheless, real herowill never miss his merited title of hero if he equips the quality, Ialways believe, no matter what is he under the embellishment of themagical media and how lonely he might taste.

3、因果论证式：首先说明对象造成的一个原因，然后引出对于现实生活中的影响和作用，最后对上述论证进行加固或者补充(对于论证中的可能漏洞进行弥补)。同样我们用范文向大家示范：
235."Most people are taught that loyalty is a virtue. But loyaltywhether to one's friends, to one's school or place of employment, or toany institution is all too often a destructive rather than a positiveforce."
(范文)
Once I participated a speech given by a famous local entrepreneur,who rose from exactly bare hands. The word brands me most is "loyalty",the very one we hardly dabble and almost reaches the edge of oblivionbut instead no negligence is deserve. How can this concept bridge therelation with the huge lope of his life? Loyalty makes one stick to agoal without any fickleness until achievement, which has won a lot muchfor him including friendship, dependability and love. Ironically,today's people is becoming more and more "sagacious" to plan forthemselves better, holding the principles of choosing best, movingfastest, and snatching most; in other words, loyalty is degeneratedinto a totem of stubborn stereotype inadaptable for the society ofprofits first.
Is that modern theory "true"? And what about the success of thatadmiring entrepreneur? Something people primarily should understand isthe indispensability of credence active among human community for theperpetuity of humanistic relationship, which to a large extent stemsfrom this loyalty. No exaggeration I have made to emphasize itsparamount function to personal survival, either from the fable orhistory we can learn the lesson. But now I would like to continue toelicit the example of that manager upstairs. When he is still anemployee working for this consult company (before he climbed up to thetop rung of the company committee), there was a huge recession leadingto a total profits declination in this operating domain, in the endresults almost all elites of the company to make a job exchange excepthim. His persistent determination was for nothing but loyalty, of hisindebtedness form his boss, of his enamored undertaking tolerating forno intermittence, of his adherence to goal successful for sure. Andfact tells us everything, as each audience can see, he did.
Not only to individual the quality of loyalty can push one into theacme of his career following with winsome reputation, but also tocommunity the crucial pillar to support the sculpture of serenitygoddess. Once separated from the loyalty, credence also accordinglyright away being crushed under the wheels of history cart, and then theconcomitant condition can be imagined as this: various associationswould be certainly collapsed under the circumstance deprived ofdependability, each one discredits the motive of action from anyoneelse, talking is evolved into a serial of satirical assaults,compassion sounds more like a snicker, and ultimately ineluctably thehuman society is degraded into a state of depravity. Is this thecommunity we each of us want to live in? Is this the situation we eachof us want to make realized? If your answer is negative-just likemine-then please retrospect your conscience to retrieve this preciousvirtue of "loyalty".
While the merits of loyalty have been corroborated here so strongly,admittedly, however, loyalty applied only to the legitimate partner orpurpose, not involves the malign ones, somehow or other the effect willsurely arrive at the surprising reverse. For instance, from the pointof penal law, excluding the major miscreants who abet the underlings tocommit guilt, the adherent to follow his felony, even if he neverdirectly join in the crime doing on the spot, but as a result of hisancillary work, he should also assume a certain quantity of the greatresponsibility, which might mean him a ferocity of beingdisenfranchised, or at the same time to enjoy his later few years'prime time in the jail. The tragedy is so natural for most of us thatadmonishing clock is being struck; the high time for us to wake up fromthe sequacious loyalty is coming.
Overall, the virtue of loyalty is one of the fundamental factorheading for our prosperous tomorrow, despite its contain of somepotential stygian side effect turning to the malicious dimension, yetno doubt it deserves to be advocated to learn for the brace of thebeneficial development of both single person and gross society.

ARGUMENT结构性指导
ARGUMENT的结构性比较固定，易于掌握，用过新东方书的考生出手都能写出个标准的“经典5段(4段)式”，可以说这种模式是完全可以采用，同时也是最好的，最有效的。相比较其余什么“老管写作模式”，“思马得模板作文”，这种模式是上乘的首选，而且条理清晰，可读性好，容易方便阅卷人给分。这里由于从网上海量作文习作看来，几乎所有考生都对ARGUMENT的这种写作模式相当熟悉，因此仅对其中出现的普遍问题强调和纠正一下：
(1)开头和结尾：由于ARGUMENT时间的紧迫性，开头和结尾应该尽量简短而明确，其篇幅总量应不超过正文部分的1/3。很多考生一上来就花了5，6分钟把题干中的论据结论用复杂的长句子转述，在象征性地于结尾来一句诸如“经过我反复检查，其中论据模糊，逻辑错误横生”之类的套话。然后在正文又要分条攻击阐述。这是极不科学的“凑字数”的模式，相信老外阅卷人一天看个百来篇的这类文章，很容易产生“恶意”和“过敏”，一怒之下有种判为“类同卷”的冲动。正确的做法永远只有，用1-2句话明明白白告诉阅卷人基本的结论和你的态度，作到简短而有力，让阅卷人一眼就看到你的观点，并且知道你已经读懂题目并且作了基本的准确回应。罗列证据是留给正文的事。另外对于结尾，不要总是要告戒出题者要如何如何加强自己的论证，我们往往可以反其道而行，用上点“讽刺”，“黑色幽默”等手法让枯燥的文章在末尾展示出良好的可读性，博得阅卷人的“好感”。
(2)正文：尽管这是逻辑作文，题干给的像以前的逻辑单题，但是她是一种作文，不是客观题。大量的使用刻板的逻辑句式对于文章的生动性“百害而无一利”。很多考生背会了什么“孙氏逻辑句法”就在正文处大打出手，用些看上去极能唬人的分析句式，像逻辑专业出身的人那样，左一句“the arguercommits a fallacy of "false analogy",右一句"the arguer rests hisconclusion on the classic logic fallacy of“post hoc, ergo propterhoc".连拉丁文都用上了，你说老美做何感想。按中国人的话说，叫“掉书袋”，当诸位考生还在自我为这种呆板的句式乐此不疲的时候，你是否留意过GRE作文在你的手下是不是有些散发出像死尸一样的苍白来。作文者，就是要以“能说明问题”为先，而不是在这里“装神弄鬼”，尽管逻辑方面的论证我们需要逻辑知识的支撑，但是我们要作好的是只是“借题发挥”，“点到即止”。正确的做法应该是掌握住“错误”，揪住对方的小辫，然后适当搭配着证据的罗列称述，合理选用逻辑句式，一说明问题立刻回来，尽量用例证不要去做逻辑上的因果论证。具体请参看对比以下范文：
4.The following was posted on an Internet real estate discussionsite. "Of the two leading real estate firms in our town—Adams Realtyand Fitch Realty—Adams is clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estateagents. In contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only part-time.Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was twice as high as that of Fitch,and included home sales that averaged $168,000, compared to Fitch's$144,000. Homes listed with Adams sell faster as well: ten years ago, Ilisted my home with Fitch and it took more than four months to sell;last year, when I sold another home, I listed it with Adams, and ittook only one month. Thus, if you want to sell your home quickly and ata good price, you should use Adams."
(病历文)
In this argument, the arguer recommends us to use Adams, one of thetwo leading real estate firms in our town, to sell our homes if youwant to instead of Fitch, the other leading one. To justify hisconclusion, the arguer provides the clear evidence that Adams has 40real estate agents in contrast to the number 25 of Fitch, and even manyof which are only part-time. In addition, he cited the fresh statisticsof revenues of both Adams and Fitch, which respectively are $168,000and $144,000. To make it more conceivable, the arguer even lists out aself-experienced case to exhibit the superior sell speed of Adams toFitch. Although all the evidences above seem reasonable, a carefulexamination of this argument would reveal how groundless it is.
In the first place, the arguer unfairly assumes Adams' service isbetter than Fitch's with the assumption that more agents, moresatisfaction. The 40 agents in Adams might be poorly trained andunqualified with an extremely low work efficiency, thus enlarging thenumber of the agents is the only feasible compensation. While Fitch's25 agents may be well trained and be rich in experience, although manyof them work only part-time, under the present work condition it isenough. And also the quality of the service can't be oversimplified toonly a factor of the number of employees, which, in our common sense,has no necessary correlation. It is some other things should be takeninto consideration, such as social reputation, the feedbacks ofcustomers and the company's culture and spiritual, to avoid making theassertion too unwarranted.
In the second place, the statistics offered by the arguer can'telucidate anything. It seems true that Adams' achievement is greaterthan Fitch's through the comparison of revenues, but the data itself istoo vague to be informative. Taking into account the service charge,which can't be omitted in this case, we absolutely have adequatereasons to doubt the charge from Adams is far larger than Fitch, whicheventually leads to such a gap. Another possibility of the result iscontributing to the types of house they are entrusted to sell, since noevidence showed that Adams can afford to sell the lower-price estateswhile Fitch can assume the opposite ones, thus the phenomenon arises.
Last but not least, in short of legitimacy is that Fitch reallysells homes slower than Adams does. According to the arguer'snarrative, he entrusted his home to Fitch ten years ago when thebalance of offer-request heavily outweighed the left side and Fitchselling it in more than four months is nothing but a miracle. Adams,instead, sold his another home in one month last year during which therequest for house might be booming as a result of influx of the foreignimmigrants. Under this circumstance, Adams' success, however, is merelyordinary. Besides, the two houses sold out no doubt have naturaldifferences, which tightly related to the smooth process of selling,such as location, structure, areas, and materials. The arguer thusmakes so hasty a generalization regardless of these crucial points.
As it stands, the argument is not well reasoned in lack of someindispensable evidence. To make it logically acceptable, the arguerwould demonstrate that the superior quality of Adams' agents and therelatively lower charge comparable to Fitch's. Additionally, moredetails should be evinced, concerning the actual estate situation inthose periods of time and fundamental instructions of the two soldhouses, to rule out the above-mentioned possibilities.

点评：该范文充斥着上面讨论的各种毛病，仅开头就131字，加上结尾超过200字，已经远远超过正文1/3篇幅，是不可取的。许多模式句型充斥，结尾老套，不值得学习借鉴。另外很多考生关心这样一来字数就不合“要求”。ETS从来没有对作文字数有要求，尽管网上流行说法认为阅卷者将字数列为打分项目之一，但是在ETS公布的评分标准中是觅不着踪迹的，况且ETS极讲究科学性，不会以貌取人，但求“以理服人”，这从他考试的设计可以看出来。所以正常的ARGUMENT作文可以在“350——500”字之间，而ISSUE可在“450——600”之间，这是按正常打字速度与思维速度指定的标准。很多网上作文包括我这里的某些范文都有远远超过500，600字的，很少是在真正全封闭作业下，45分钟或30分钟内完成的，在考试时间内，按上述标准的字数作文拿“满分”是绰绰有余的，事实说明一切，我的诸多战友，包括前面提及的Violet，从来都是靠“5步一杀”，“3步一枪”，(500字左右ISSUE，300字左右ARGUMENT)，在4，6级词汇范围内稳拿5分——6分，可见一斑。不相信的考生应该自己在PP2、PP3的作文模考中亲身体验，我会在最后推荐大家一个行之有效的快速练习作文速度和质量“枪手作文速成训练法”，我们这一辈称为“替身杀手”的人都是这样练出来的。

17. The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove town newspaper.
"Walnut Grove's town council has advocated switching from EZDisposal (which has had the contract for trash collection services inWalnut Grove for the past ten years) to ABC Waste, BECause EZ recentlyraised its monthly fee from $2,000 to $2,500 a month, whereas ABC's feeis still $2,000. But the town council is mistaken; we should continueusing EZ. EZ collects trash twice a week, while ABC collects only once.Moreover, EZ--which, like ABC, currently has a fleet of 20 trucks--hasordered additional trucks. Finally, EZ provides exceptional service: 80percent of respondents to last year's town survey agreed that they were'satisfied' with EZ's performance."
(范文)
The argument is not well reasoned at all, and it might be wise for Walnut Grove's town council to turn to ABC Disposal.
To begin with, despite EZ's weekly working frequency is as twice asABC's, yet no sign has been displayed to prove that the "advantage" isnecessary and fictional. For instance, if the town's garbage amount isunder a particularly lower scale, which merely reaches the quantity ofonce disposal from ABC and hence the relatively once more from EZ isjust a futile plethora. Also, even if twice disposal is applicable, itstill deserves to doubt whether most citizens would like usual tochoose EZ when taking into account the price of its service has beenincreased by $500 a month. Most citizens is highly possible to pick upa company that can offer best services while calling for relativelylittle money, for saving the extra $500, which to some extent isdispensable, I think, most citizens can cope with some easily handledtrash with their own methods instead of singly relying on the disposalcompany.
And another crucial point I cast great discretion on is whether thesurvey made last year is the persuasive reflection of the wholecitizen's actual attitudes. The major deniable spot is the survey'ssampling size and accordingly the ultimate respondents echoing thequestions. Visualize the citizens of Walnut town are no less than 500thousands, but ironically only the 5 hundred ones have the fortune tobe asked the question and in the end the real available records makingsome senses are less than the 10% of the interviewers, namely the upperlimit is only 50 people. Let alone whether these answers have thewidely applicable representative, just judging about the number ofrespondents we can have justifiable rights to disregard the validity ofthis survey.
Almost to forget to point out, that the freshly ordered 20 trucks ofEZ cannot add another ponderous stake onto the balance, on thecontrary, it might exacerbate the impressions of EZ in people's mind.Buying new trucks would ineluctably consume the company's property, andto take this disburse back the company must put some additionalmeasures for compensation, thereby increasing the fees can lead thecitizens to obtain the most strong conviction of loading the economicdebt onto their shoulders, which finally ruins the tiny fantasy proneto the EZ.
So the arguer's recommendation is just nothing but a cheappropaganda to throw to the vast residents a deceptive illusion. Ibelieve, in general, any one having look through these vulgar tricksfull of vague information and implicit causal claims like me would belikely to accept the town council's decision, after all it is moresensible than the arguer suggests.

点评：这篇文章彻底纠正了上述病历文的缺点，开头简短有力，准确回应，中间正文论述过度自然，值得借鉴，另外结尾也摆脱了原先的“改错建议”，用“讽刺”的口吻深化了主题。大家一定要重视这个问题，因为这实在是个“吃力不讨好”的事，而且这样的人还真不少，下面再看一例来自满分网的习作，将这种“毛病”升华到了极至。
145.A new study collected data that shows that people who snore aremore likely to gain weight than are people who do not snore. It is wellknown that many people who snore also stop breathing frequently duringthe night for a few seconds, a condition called sleep apnea. Theinterruption of breathing wakes the person—often so briefly that thewaking goes unnoticed--and can leave the person too tired during theday to exercise. Anyone who snores, therefore, should try to eat lessthan the average person and to exercise more.
(病历文)
In this argument, the arguer make a proposal that anyone who snoresshould try to eat less than the average person and to exercise more. Inorder to prove his claims, a new study collected data has been quotedthat people who snore are more likely to gain weight than are peoplewho do not snore. in addition, the arguer also shows a common sense tosupport the conclusion, which says that sleep apnea, a condition causedby snore, can wakes the sleeping person often and leave him too tiredto exercise during the day.
The explanation of the conclusion sounds quite plausible at thefirst glance, but after pondering deeply upon the matter, we may findthat the arguer fails to build up a causal relationship between thesentific study and the the conclusion as presented above, furthermore,this argument also suffers from critical logical confusion, How can theperson who is too tired to exercise join even more aerobic activitiesduring the day? To reveal the flaws of the argument more clearly, letus detail the examination.
To begin with, one major assumption in short of legitimacy is therelationship claimsed between the propensity of weight-gaining amongthe snores and the method to handle this problem, which is simplydescribed as "eating less". However, why those people who snore aremore likely to gain weight still remain unknown, how can the arguergratuitously give the recommendation that the anyone who snores shouldtry to eat less? there may be other ways to give the explanation ofthis problem, the most persuasive one is that the fat might cause bythe hormone secreted by a kind of glands. When people are snoring,means, under the condition called sleep apnea, the amount of hormonebeing secreted may exceed or less than, the normal one, which keeps themetabolism speed of the human body. Therefore, it is reasonable toimagine that the problem would even get worse after adopting thearger's suggestion that anyone who snores should eat less than theaverage person.
In addition, the arguer's conclusion that more excercises should betaken by the those who snore is seriously undermined by the commonsense given in the argument, which points out the sleep apnea caused bysnore results in the tiredness of the snorer during the day. Can such atired person take a lot of exercisers besides his work or study? theanswer is obviously seem. anyone who has basic logical-deducing abilitywould see the critical flaw in the argument.
In sum, unless the reslut of a further scientific study candemonstrate that the weight-gaining propensity among the snorers iscaused by lacking of excercise and can be solved by eating less, thearguer's conclusion about this medical issue is unfounded.(463 words)
评注：开头两段作者什么都没谈，就归纳了论据结论用了一段耗去100多字，居然还不过瘾，又独劈一段就为了说明它有问题，又是几十字，加上结尾，非主体共耗去200多字，接近全文一半，这样的谋篇布局实在让人“心寒”。可见作者没有丝毫写作“结构性”的知识，完全凭借自己的“一相情愿”在“抖包袱”。而下面的范文尽管开头也作了概括，但是“点到即止”，将文章的中心全部扑在批驳论证上，并且“主次分明”，从而保证了良好的“结构协调性”，请读者品品。
(范文)
The argument astonishingly deduces a conclusion of the easiness toget fatter for the particular group of people who snore at sleep, andaccordingly recommends eating less and strengthening the intense ofexercises to avoid such trend. While the arguer established hisdemonstration on the tenable basis of a well-known discovery acceptedby public, this argument, however, seems to me a wholly ramshackle oneneeded to scrutiny.
To begin with, what I cannot make clear since now is the leap fromthe mere fact of lacking exercise to the aptness for gaining weight,which sounds no necessary cause-and-effect relationship between them.It might be true of the evidence the arguer takes out to show thatsleep apnea can interrupt the normal sleeping tempo and hence resultsthe over exhaustion at diurnal work, which obliquely influence theexercises necessarily for these people. The extent of the arguer'sinference can only reach this level, to further exploit the aftermathconcerning the putting on weight still waits for more information, suchas the authoritative report proving such potential nexus, or otherwise,the arguer is only resting the assertion on a gratuitous assumption.
Another obvious cynosure we facilely notice is the recommendation ofeating less to relieve the inevitable current for weight growing, whichis more unsubstantial. In the whole article, the arguer's claim rangeonly spread to the layer of lacking exercises, referring to the habitsof diets is a sudden idea out of any sign predicted, thus acts the roleof invalid deduction. Also, the arguer presumptuously holds theconviction of "any" person who snores, ought to take the measure forstint eating, which works against commonsensical knowledge of treatingdifferent people by choosing different remedies, at all no twoindividuals are totally equivalent. Once escaping the condition ofeluding such confusion, we are able to, too, recognize the suggestionof recommending those people's joining more exercises are, on thecontrary, counterproductive. Even if the prerequisites of people'sweight problem actually stems from this very case of fatigue, then moreactivities mean more fatigue at daily time enjoyed by them, and thecirculation undeniably switches to the opposite side.
To sum up, starting from the ridiculous basement to the finalfallacious recommendation, the arguer cursorily treat the grossdeduction process, and add additional vulnerable announcement in thebrittle body of the argument, which ultimately results the furtherdiscretion directly leads to its destiny of rebuff.

GRE作文的表达性(第三性)1.ISSUE作文的表达性：表达就是要学会“展开”，如何展开论证是个复杂不定的问题，所谓“文无定法”，说的就是这个问题，因而在这里完全靠的就是两个字——“实力”。我很抱歉的对大家提出这两个不中用的字，但是作文的确并非我以前论述的“GRE阅读”那样熟悉了套路就往上钻，在前面的十字路口悠闲地逮他，这里我们要做的只有两条来提高(1)掌握展开表达的常见6种武器：例证(illustration)，因果(cause-and-effect)，对比(contrast)，对照(comparison)，定义(definition)，分类(classification)。这里注意，对比说的是找出不同点，对照是找共同点。掌握好这六种武器对于GRE的ISSUE论证也就足已。(2)熟读背诵美国作家的这种论证题材的社科类论文，潜移默化的接受美国西方式的论证思维。这里实在时间紧，强力推荐孙远著《GRE写作宝典》(第一版)中末尾的写作工具箱，凡是黑体字部分，没得商量，全背！这是最小量的负担了，我还背过《西方哲学史》，《西方文明史》呢(尽管背了又忘得差不多了)，但是背完后，你的作文再也不是从前的那种“婴儿式”了，你一定不会后悔的。背，是免不了的！！！2.ARGUMENT作文的表达性：掌握逻辑谬误“七宗罪”(这比掌握繁杂无聊的“孙氏兵法”要简单有效，推荐考生选用！)(1) Implicit causal claim:假性因果，另有他因(2) False analogy：错误类比(3) All things are equal:过去推将来，局部推广域(4) Survey is doubtful：无效调查(规模，数量，方式，时间，等)(5) Either-or choice：非此即彼(二选一，忽略其他同类)(6) Gratuitous assumption:空泛假设(无前提证据的假设)(7) Insufficient samples:例证不足(比如说明一个培训班很好，但是只举了两个很好的例子，参加者却有上百人)具体表达这些错误不要死板套用什么“摸板句式”，前面已多次强调，并有范文示范，若读者在读完本文后认为笔者在教授大家又一模板时，笔者将无颜面对广大GRE考生。创造性的用自己逐步积累的感觉去表达永远是上策，作文是折射自己严谨和独特个性的镜子，不要让别人阴沉的背影遮住自己光辉的形象，只有 “个性”的文章才是好文章。

GRE作文的语言(第四、五、六性)由于后面3条评分标准都是在语言上的大分，我就把她放在一起说。相信刚开始作文大部分考生最担忧和关心的就是这一点，具体表现在就是：长期监禁于国内有限的英语考试作文模式和要求，在词汇、句式、字数上都达不到要求，一下子从6级作文到GRE，飞跃度之大可想而知。由于中国大学英语教育和各类同等教育的腐朽没落，高校内外缺乏大量的有丰富经验的作文执教讲师，多数年轻教师本着应试教育的心态重复着他们学生时代学来的“八股文”，结果一面“不好好教”，一面又“不好好学”，从而作文一直是英语教育的一个“盲区”。事实既然是如此，我们的多数考生就只好靠自己了。笔者也是艰难的在学校里一点一点榨出时间来背，记，逐步有了一些体会，后来有幸拜高手为师，学得一招半式，才有了今天的这点领悟。好，废话不说了，笔者就自己与同Violet那儿借鉴来的经验毫无保留的列在下面仅供参考：1.词汇：前提是熟练活用6级以内6000词汇，前面已经列举了Violet这一牛人的辉煌史，证明了不用GRE词汇能写好作文的可能性，网上也有类似的文章，这里由于版权原因，恕不能转贴。另外，能用上GRE词汇的尽量要用可靠的词汇，不要生搬硬套，吃不准的在考场上永远别用，得不偿失，特别要在熟背《红宝书》的基础上注意单词一定要拼写正确，很多考生在用诸如：connoisseur, scenario, renaissance, shibboleth, juggernaut等时犯下大量拼写错误，导致作文级别下降，要特别注意。同时，大家对于常用的GRE替换同义词多多总结，比如描述影响等巨大的可以用：prodigious, colossal, enormous, extraordinary, immense, huge, gigantic, mammoth, vast, tremendous, far-reaching, overpowering, overwhelming, etc.这类词主要靠自己总结，看到别人的文章勾些自己想不到的词，然后记录在小本上，日积月累，工作累的时候翻开来想想记记，什么情况下可能会用这类词，如此反复作文词汇问题就能解决。笔者就是在修装拖拉机的时候这么一步步过来的。同时纠正大家一个普遍错误观念，那就是自己发觉文章中用来用去常就是那么几个词，不要感到绝望，这是个好兆头，说明你已经逐步建立起自己的风格和个性，之所以你觉得厌倦，是因为你将它操练的太熟的缘故，因而看看别人的好象比自己用词新颖别致，其实别人也说不准在为自己的文章词汇枯竭而烦恼着呢！到了考场上，ETS的阅卷人又没看过你以前的文章，完全不会有你的这种感觉，相反好些你觉得已经用的“太烂”的词汇反而对他有一种“眼睛一亮”的感觉，因为你用的是如此富有“个性”。这也就是我所提倡的“最高境界”的宗旨，也是我花了那么多力气想说清楚的最本质的东西。2.句法：我要告诉大家句法的练习是语法的深化和实践，GRE中复杂句式种类不多，在GRE阅读中可见一斑，因而我们“以其人之道还制其人之身”，熟读扬鹏130难句，总结书中总论中的难句类型，自己学会有意识的应用，另外加上前面我强调的“写作工具箱”(孙远的书最大的价值也许就在这里，偏偏在新版中给cut了，真是老糊涂了！！！)。另外给大家提出常见的几种特别注意使用的技巧：多加修饰成分；有意识通过插入成分将句子写的起伏跌荡；多用倒装和省略；少用被动结构；多用修辞(比喻，拟人，排比，设问，反问和对比)。这些要点读者可进一步参考前面范文体会。3.谋篇：GRE两种作文由于都在千字内，因而没有什么特殊的谋篇技巧，主要参考前面我提出的那些注意点就可以了。

GRE作文修炼方法：

1、背诵素材：不多说了，主要是“工具箱”，然后可以参考新东方老师“傅顺贤”等人的资料，同样由于他们有的已经出书，版权原因，这里不列了，请大家自己从网上或书店索取。

2、借鉴习作：背诵是完全不可靠的方法，因此借鉴仅局限于：结构、论证手法、观点和词汇本身(不是用法，用法要靠自己查用法字典！！)。

3、练习写作：这才是根本，有句老掉牙的话对于写作永远是真理：“量变必然带来质变”。下面重点探讨这一环节的执行：

(1)如何练习：强烈推荐“枪手速成训练法”。很简单(但是最有效)，最好选用PP2光盘(注意不是新版的PP3)，选择Timed Writing Assessment，然后把选择任意一个测试，别管他的题目，在下面写自己练习的那个作文，ISSUE对ISSUE，ARGUMENT对 ARGUMENT，一次75分钟连续练习两篇，写完后，系统会让你浏览自己的习作，用鼠标拖下自己的习作，先选择一篇然后右击鼠标，选择“复制”，然后回 word文档检查拼写语法，然后回来点击刚才的试题重新进入选择review(NO选项),将另一篇也依法拖下来即可。如此训练必然可以养成一身在规定时间内写作的过硬本领。为什么要用PP2，不用PP3呢？因为PP3中取消了单独的作文计时测试，只有在计算机模考中与Verbal, Quantitative一起进行，这样必须在写好每篇作文收卷之前先复制好，然后中间退出粘贴，再进入选择Resume继续下一篇，再在收卷之前复制粘贴，否则你必须将另外其后的两个Verbal, Quantitative部分全搞定了才能看到自己习作的样本，中间又不能退出这两个部分，费时不必要，所以尽量用PP2保证“模考式写作”，实在不行，就委屈用PP3按上述步骤麻烦一下操作了！

(2)练习频率：每天至少一套(1篇ISSUE，1篇ARGUMENT)，风雨无阻，牢记上面的“真理”。

(3)练习题库：根据近年来在华东地区应试数十场及Violet等人在西北战场的应试经验来看，题目大多都出自老题库，即孙远《GRE写作宝典》 (第一版)中的题库，ISSUE二选一几乎肯定有一题出自其中，而ARGUMENT更是几乎就是在原来的122题中抽取。给读者我们在华东考场近半年来的应试数据：共参加考试23场，遇到ISSUE考题46题，有41题是老题库题(包括重复碰到的题算做不同的题，以下同)，只有5题是新题，而且没有同时出现在两个选择项中；ARGUMENT共23题，出现老题库题22题，只有1题是新题，而且题目比较“友善”。这样读者应该都知道往什么方向努力了！本数据仅供参考，由于ETS题库更替频繁，没有绝对的规律，大家只有加固“实力”才是根本，不要盲目相信任何数据，这里只是“个人”觉得相对新题，老题仍然是练习的重点。

(4)讨教机经：不是什么考试频率，而是有条件在生活中、网络上向有经验的考生探讨考试注意事项等，避免盲目上阵。

GRE作文是个需要持之以恒训练的项目，而切“创新”永远是其生命的活力和动力，读者必须要亲身尝试在实践中实现质的飞跃。这里笔者提供的范文同样有着大大小小的问题，旨在给大家一个切合实际的参考，不像某些书上的范文那样难于操作和不切实际。
