ISSUE:
In order to become well-rounded individuals, all college students should be required to take courses in which they read poetry, novels, mythology, and other types of imaginative literature.
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 and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
為了成為全面發展的個體,應該要求所有的大學生選擇可以閱讀詩歌、小說、神話等想象力文學的課程。
點評:
這道題與education相關,是同學們都比較熟悉的話題,下手比較容易。分析話題時,一定要圍繞中心話題(well-rounded/ imagination),這樣才不會跑題。寫作前,一定要定義well-rounded/imagination這兩個詞,實際上,這個過程應該在平時備考時完成,如,看到“imagination”迅速brainstorming到creativity,curiosity,abstract concept, difficult to replicate;定義 “well-rounded”非常難,因為全面性人才要包括很多能力,比如independent thinking, high IQ and EQ, teamwork, leadership, critical thinking, even basic survival ability…
GRE作文欄目寫作老師建議:在寫作時,同學們可以把寫作重心放到imagination上,直接討論“imagination”和“imaginative literature”對“well-rounded”(全面型人才)的重要性;或者集中討論well-rounded,分析要成為全面型人才需要學習什么課程,比如,承認想象力確實很重要,但不一定要通過學習想象力文學課程的方式去培養想象力,很多學科鉆研深入了也可以鍛煉想象力(creativity, curiocity),比如物理學或數學就在尋找新的算法的過程中培養了creativity等。
當然,寫作的方式有很多種,issue沒有標準答案,但“萬變不離其宗”,大家要有一套自己的分析題目的方式,才能快速應對考場各種可能出現的題目,甚至是奇葩題。
下面是作文素材,給大家參考:
1.為什么要學習文學
The world of literature has a wealth of knowledge we can learn from and if we take the time to study and analyze what we read, we have access to some interesting points of views. This information can give us access to many different aspects, from first-hand accounts of history, their personal understanding of the world and even a different take on the philosophy and culture we live by and in. While it's important to remember that what we read is in the view point of someone else, this bias view can help us redefine or strengthen ourselves.
2.現實中想象力的作用
Imagination is an experimental partition of the mind used to create theories and ideas based on functions. Taking objects from real perceptions, the imagination uses complex IF-functions to create new or revised ideas. This part of the mind is vital to developing better and easier ways to accomplish old and new tasks. These experimented ideas can be safely conducted inside a virtual world and then, if the idea is probable, and the function is true, the idea can be actualized in reality. Imagination is the key to new development of the mind and can be shared with others, progressing collectively.
ARGUMENT:
The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of a large, highly diversified company.
"Ten years ago our company had two new office buildings constructed as regional headquarters for two regions. The buildings were erected by different construction companies—Alpha and Zeta. Although the two buildings had identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build. However, that building's expenses for maintenance last year were only half those of Alpha's. In addition, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been lower than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction. Given these data, plus the fact that Zeta has a stable workforce with little employee turnover, we recommend using Zeta rather than Alpha for our new building project, even though Alpha's bid promises lower construction costs."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
