引导语:下面,小编为大家整理了一些提高GMAT写作水平的方法,希望能够帮助到您。
一、如何提升作文速度
1.首先要解决思维问题
GMAT写作考试的备考复习中,考生若想提高自己作文构思的速度,那么就要解决思维方面的问题,也就是学会构思作文,因为这样的构思减少了翻译的过程。试想一下,如果考生使用汉语构思,在列出文章提纲之后,还要逐字逐句地将其翻译成相对应的英语,然后再准备材料组织论述,这势必会浪费很多写作的宝贵时间。
2.写作资源的收集
GMAT考试的复习备考中,写作资源是来自方方面面的,英语思维的训练也是与各项复习同步进行的,考生做过的GMAT阅读、语法、逻辑等题目都可以成为作文考试的备&考资源。GMAT考试的备考复习中,逻辑题目向考生阐明了句子的逻辑关系,考生可以依据这些关系来组织自己立论和驳论文的基本框架,在阐述观点时表明自己的逻辑分析能力。
3.语法效力。
GMAT考试的语法题目可以帮助考生学会实用、简洁、清楚地表达自己的意思,美化句子。而阅读方面,考生可以从中学习一些长难句,并学习作者立论和证明论点的过程,学习其中的过渡段落等等。GMAT写作考试的备&考复习中,考试在充分利用阅读、逻辑、语法题目进行英语思维转换之后,还要多阅读一些范文,学习别人行文的方法,使之转化成自己的资源,并且多加练习,久而久之写作就不是一件难事了。
4.打字速度
GMAT写作考试的备考复习中,还有一项影响写作速度的就是考生的打字速度。打字功夫不是一天练出来的,要保证速度,还要保证正确率,我在第一次考试时,认为自己经过在北京新东方上得几节课,加上自己的练习肯定能拿高分的。可是却因为键盘输入的问题出现一些本来可以避免的错误,导致我作文成绩很差。其实GMAT写作考试并不一定要求考生必须会盲打,有些人习惯了汉语的输入法,因为可以利用输入法的联想功能,而输入单词时,这样的优势就没有了,往往会因为不熟悉键盘或者紧张造成单词的拼写错误。在这里建议大家平时写作时就刻意地加强键盘的练习,自己手写出来的文章也要用键盘输到电脑里,并且严格规定输入的时间。我建议那些对电脑指法不熟悉的考生每天用半个小时左右的时间练习打字,在输入单词时心中默念单词,避免输入错误,尽量使输入不间断,这样可以保证你的英语思维不被打乱。
5.简洁明了
GMAT写作的备考复习中,应当注意的一点是,字数多不代表废话多,考生一定不要为了凑字数而生搬硬套,将一个观点重复表述,最重要的还是要注重段落内部及段落间逻辑的转换以及语言的运用,只有逻辑清晰、言辞准确,才能够称得上一篇好文章,也才会得到满意的分数。
二、把握常见错误
1.无因果联系
The author commits a fallacy of causal oversimplification. The line of the reasoning is that because A occurred before B, the former event is responsible for the latter. (The author uses the positive correlation between A and B to establish causality. However, the fact that A coincides with B does not necessarily prove that A caused B.) But this is fallacious reasoning unless other possible causal explanations have been considered and ruled out. For example, perhaps C is the cause of these events or perhaps B is caused by D.
2.样本不足
The evidence the author provides is insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it. One example is logically unsounded to establish a general conclusion (The statistics from only a few recent years are not necessarily a good indicator of future trends), unless it can be shown that A1 is representative of all A. It is possible that.... In fact, in face of such limited evidence, the conclusion that B is completely unwarranted.
3.错误类比
The argument rests on the assumption that A is analogous to B in all respects. This assumption is weak, since although there are points of comparison between A and B, there is much dissimilarity as well. For example, A..., however, B.... Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B to do....
4.时地全等
The author commits the fallacy of “all things are equal”. The fact that happened two years ago is not a sound evidence to draw a conclusion that.... The author assumes without justification that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different locations. However, it is not clear in this argument whether the current conditions at AA are the same as they used to be two years ago. Thus it is impossible to conclude that....
5.二者择一
The author assumes that AA and BB are mutually exclusive alternatives and there is no room for a middle ground. However, the author provides no reason for imposing an either-or choice. Common sense tells us that adjusting both AA and BB might produce better results.
6.可疑调查
The poll cited by the author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not indicate who conducted the poll, who responded, or when, where and how the poll was conducted. (Lacking information about the number of people surveyed and the number of respondents, it is impossible to access the validity of the results. For example, if 200 persons were surveyed but only 2 responded, the conclusion that...would be highly suspect. Because the argument offers no evidence that would rule out this kind of interpretations,) Until these questions are answered, the results of the survey are worthless as evidence for the conclusion.
