GRE寫作中國考生的平均得分只有3分左右并不算理想。而許多考生之所以拿不到作文高分,都是因?yàn)?a href='http://www.rzpgrj.com/yu/wenzhang/' target='_blank'>文章中存在各種寫法問題而并非平時練習(xí)不夠積極認(rèn)真。那么哪些問題更容易影響大家的作文成績呢?下面小編就為考生講解GRE寫作的常見扣分問題并分享應(yīng)對方法。
為什么我的GRE作文只有3分?突破寫作分?jǐn)?shù)瓶頸你需要先解決這些問題
寫作速度偏慢導(dǎo)致文章篇幅不夠內(nèi)容有限
在新GRE作文中的另一個普遍問題是寫作速度太慢,這顯然是因?yàn)樵诳荚嚽八鞯臏?zhǔn)備不夠充分。GRE考試的寫作除了開頭段和結(jié)尾段,中間一般應(yīng)該寫三段。但是考生在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)往往只能寫兩段,而且字?jǐn)?shù)也不夠,只能寫400字左右。GRE寫作雖然沒有字?jǐn)?shù)要求,但是一篇較好的、成熟的,能夠充分展示自己觀點(diǎn)的GRE作文,一般應(yīng)在600字左右,或者是600字以上。由此可見,一篇400字左右的文章在內(nèi)容上是不夠充實(shí)的。
邏輯論證缺乏說服力沒有可讀性
在闡述思想觀點(diǎn)之后,缺乏有力的例證去支持所闡述觀點(diǎn)。或者總是引用每個人都耳熟能詳?shù)睦C,例如目前最流行的例證有兩個B和兩個E,兩個B即Bill Gates和Bill Clinton。兩個E即Einstein和Edison。并不是這些例證不恰當(dāng)或不足以說明問題,而是如果每一位GRE考試的考生都把愛迪生發(fā)明電燈作為例證,都引用愛因斯坦所說的成功是百分之九十九的勤勞加上百分之一的天分,那么自己的文章就顯得平庸乏味,不吸引人。同時,也說明考生的知識面狹窄,視野不開闊。
對問題的分析流于表面缺乏深度
在習(xí)作中沒有能夠表現(xiàn)出對題目的復(fù)雜性的理解,有時考生用簡單應(yīng)對TOEFL作文的方法來對付新GRE作文,這是錯誤的。例如,當(dāng)題目中的論述沒有明確說明,但其中卻隱含由這種論述可能帶來的或可能產(chǎn)生的影響時,即implications(隱含意義),往往在考生的作文中被忽略。還有,沒有對題目的statement進(jìn)行qualification,即:對原來的題目進(jìn)行分析,或者是縮小它的范圍。因?yàn)镚RE的題目往往是比較寬泛的,直接針對如此寬泛的題目寫作是非常困難的,所以必須在文章的第一段中對題目進(jìn)行整理。最后一個問題是在闡述自己觀點(diǎn)的時候,缺乏對對立觀點(diǎn)予以應(yīng)有程度的承認(rèn)。
作文結(jié)尾段重復(fù)度太高缺乏原創(chuàng)性
還有一個非常關(guān)鍵也是獲得高分至關(guān)重要的問題是寫作最后一段時不應(yīng)該只是簡單的重復(fù)第一段的內(nèi)容和語言。寫作最后一段應(yīng)該換一種說法,應(yīng)該paraphrase第一段的要義。這點(diǎn)雖然與及格分?jǐn)?shù)不甚相關(guān),但是與GRE作文是否能獲得最高分?jǐn)?shù)息息相關(guān)。這個弱點(diǎn)往往是由于同學(xué)們非常缺乏寫作語匯(working vocabulary)所致。GRE考生大都是大學(xué)生,或是在校,或是即將畢業(yè),在閱讀方面的英文詞匯量大大超過了中學(xué)生,但在寫作詞匯上卻與中學(xué)生相差不多,這是在備考時需要解決的問題。
如何解決上述新GRE作文問題,小編給出以下幾條建議:
多準(zhǔn)備針對性素材提升論述說服力
在備考過程中要多準(zhǔn)備例子,并把它們一一寫下來,進(jìn)行分類。一個例子往往可以應(yīng)對好幾個同類的題目,這樣做是效率最高的辦法。
堅持寫作練習(xí)克服畏難情緒
我們都害怕寫作文,想到要練習(xí)寫一整篇文章,往往就沒有了信心。其實(shí)我們可以從練習(xí)寫作開頭段,然后設(shè)計文章的提綱開始。寫開頭段能夠讓我們以輕松一點(diǎn)的心情著手GRE寫作的準(zhǔn)備,并且迅速了解所有的題目,因?yàn)镚RE的題目數(shù)量是固定的。
儲備積極詞匯,用時得心應(yīng)手。從備考的開始就要著手增加working vocabulary, 當(dāng)然也包含詞組,成語。平時背的詞匯往往只是看到它能知道其中文的某個翻譯意思,但是我們卻不能靈活運(yùn)用這些詞匯進(jìn)行表達(dá),更不用說在短暫的GRE寫作考試時間內(nèi)用它們遣詞造句了。
