新GRE寫作范文第五篇文章
The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"Five years ago, we residents of Morganton voted to keep the publicly owned piece of land known as Scott Woods in a natural, undeveloped state.
Our thinking was that, if no shopping centers or houses were built there, Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as a natural parkland.
But now that our town planning committee wants to purchase the land and build a school there, we should reconsider this issue.
If the land becomes a school site, no shopping centers or houses can be built there, and substantial acreage would probably be devoted to athletic fields.
There would be no better use of land in our community than this, since a large majority of our children participate in sports, and Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as natural parkland."
原文邏輯順序:五年前投票決定某地保持原生態==〉原生態可用來做公園讓大家受益==〉現在有人建議蓋學校==〉蓋學校就要改此地為操場==〉建操場是唯一能此地還保持原生態的方案(暗含假設為操場就是原生態)。
This letter to the editor begins by stating the reasons the residents of Morganton voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state.The letter states that the entire community could benefit from an undeveloped parkland.The residents of the town wanted to ensure that no shopping centers or houses would be built there.This, in turn, would provide everyone in the community with a valuable resource, a natural park.這里是復述題目的前半部分,即五年前人們的看法以及理由。基本上沒有加入任何分析。
The letter then continues by addressing the issue of building a school on the land.The author reasons that this would also benefit the entire community as a natural parkland since much of the land would be devoted to athletic fields.The author of the letter comes to the conclusion that building a school on the land would be the best thing for everyone in the community.這里復述題目的后半部分,即現在要蓋學校,作者認為蓋學校會有什么效果,以及蓋學校是唯一的辦法。同志們,第一第二段都是單純的復述題目,只是稍加了一點層次感,但是幾乎沒有加上任何分析,以及態度。這實際上是這篇范文的敗筆之處。后面的官方評語就是這樣說的,說開頭段太猶豫了(評語第一段),并說可以做得更好的(評語最后一段)。所以說這篇文章的開頭是考官所不喜歡的,但是為什么也能得滿分呢,因為他后面的論證確實很充分,另外也是因為本題本身也真的很難讀懂,寫到這份上已經不容易了。Awintro里面說了,最后的成績是看整個文章的整體效果,那么這篇文章雖然有缺點,但還有更大的優點,所以總體是很好的,所以得了滿分。從六篇范文的評語里也可以看出來,在這6個滿分文章中,有些文章是次滿分的,有些文章是滿分的,而有些文章是超滿分的。我們要做的就是找出每篇文章的優點和缺點,最后匯集優點避免缺點寫出一個到處全是優點的文章,那不就是超超超滿分了。當然了,這是扯淡,不可能到處都是優點,只能盡量吧。言歸正傳,這文章的開頭應該改進成在簡短一點復述題目,至少并成一段,然后加上自己的觀點,到底哪里值得后面討論。
This letter is a one-sided argument about the best use of the land known as Scott Woods. 這里開始分析了,先說是片面的。論證手法為加條件后討論。The author may be a parent whose child would benefit from a new school, a teacher who thinks a school would boost the community, or just a resident of Morganton. 這里先加上不同的條件,討論不同的后果,很好的手法阿!你可能會問,他哪里討論了?沒發展討論哪!其實,當假定作者為教師時,已經在教師的后面的定語從句中給出了充分的演繹,這就是小發展,這就是awintro里強調無數次的cogently,發展于無形之間,我們在寫作文的時候也要學會噢。Regardless of who the author is, there are many aspects of this plan that he or she has overlooked or chosen to ignore.這一句話很重要,把前面的假設的變量給排除了,為后面的論證掃清了障礙。
Using a piece of land to build a school is not the same thing as using it for a natural parkland. 這里指出的是文章的核心的最大的錯誤,即學校操場不等于原生態。這種論證順序和其他的不同,沒有讓步,也沒有質疑假設。總體的論證順序為先討論一個大的問題,然后再討論與此大問題相關聯的一些小問題。同志們可能要問了這是什么套路阿?其實awintro也推薦過這樣的套路。”
The readers know that a writer can earn a high score by analyzing and developing several points in a critique or by identifying a central flaw in the argument and developing that critique extensively.”以上摘自awintro中的一段。 While all the members of the community could potentially benefit from a parkland, only a percentage of the population would realistically benefit from a new school. 這里是分支觀點,把原命題給拆分成兩個部分以供下面討論。 The author fails to recognize people like the senior citizens of the community.What interest do they have in a new school?It only means higher taxes for them to pay.
They will likely never to and utilize the school for anything.先說學校操場怎么樣(有人不受益)。On the other hand, anyone can go to a park and enjoy the natural beauty and peacefulness. 再說原生態公園怎么樣。(每人受益) The use of the land for a school would destroy the benefit of a park for everyone. 基于以上兩點,這句話得出了結論:建學校操場會不如原生態公園好。這個論證還是三段論! In turn, it would supply a school only to groups of people in exactly the right age range, not too young or too old, to reap the benefits.上一句結論的正話反說。本句話很關鍵!為后一段埋下伏筆。屬于邏輯過渡句。
Another point the author stresses is that the use of the land for things like athletic fields somehow rationalizes the destruction of the park.本段是上一段的延續,還是圍繞著中心問題進行討論。我們注意到上一段說學校不能使每一個人受益,只能使其中一部分適齡年輕人收益,這一段就問了:這些適齡年輕人真的受益了嗎?所以說是上一段的一個深究,論證的很深入。本段論證方法為列舉反例。What about children who don't play sports?Without the school, they could enjoy the land for anything.A playing field is a playing field.Children are not going to go out there unless they are into sports.There are many children in schools who are not interested in or are not able to play sports.
This is yet another group who will be left out of the grand benefits of a school that the author talks about.這里的論證一下去,原文徹底傻了,原來就算是學生也不能夠就一定受益阿!這種論證方式,屬于遞進式攻擊。其內涵的邏輯聯系之緊密,讓人不由得贊嘆!牛!這兩段是文章最出彩的地方,也是文章在開頭不好的情況下能力挽狂瀾得到滿分的秘密武器。
The author's conclusion that "there would be no better use of land in our community than this...""is easily arguable. 最后文章再質疑了結論的可靠性。 The destruction of Scott Woods for the purpose of building a school would not only affect the ambience of Morganton, it would affect who would and would not be able to utilize the space. 先說建學校這事壓根就不靠譜。為什么呢?
后面給出了解釋。 If the residents as a whole voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state, this argument will not sway their decision.The use of the land for a school will probably benefit even less people than a shopping center would.The whole purpose of the vote was to keep the land as an asset for everyone. 這里通過和購物中心比,得出了結論說當初的投票就是為了大家。這個論證也是全文的亮點,因為他是用原文的條件來攻擊原文,它認為購物中心的收入已經是相當高了,但即使這么高的收入也沒有原生態公園給每個人帶來的收益高,更何況是收益還不如購物中心的學校呢。這里更深層次的隱含意思是:購物中心是所有投資中利潤最高的,這都不行,所以任何的改動都是不行的。就必須要保持原生態公園。這里作者的思想多么的銳利。一下子就揪住了原文的一項自我矛盾的地方。The only way to do this is to keep it in an undeveloped state.Using the land for a school does not accomplish this.最終提出了作者的建議。
This outstanding response begins somewhat hesitantly; the opening paragraphs summarize but do not immediately engage the argument.
