新航道

  今天，新航道gre培訓班繼續給大家帶來gre寫作The Issue Task 精選，前兩講(Analyze an Issue的第1、2講)，我們學習了GRE寫作中Analyze an Issue任務中最常見的一種指令：

  Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

  接下來兩講，我們看第二種指令：

  Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.

  這個指令，與第一種指令的區別在于：

  * 這個指令要求我們走到我們的反方去，充分理解我們的反方。

  * 在認識到我們反方的想法和理由之后，以知己知彼的方式論證我們自己的立場。

  我們以一個題目為例：

  The best way to solve environmental problems caused by consumer-generated waste is for towns and cities to impose strict limits on the amount of trash they will accept from each household.

  就這個statement，老師的立場為：【Disagree】，并且寫了一個作文的梗概，如下：

  [Introduction]

  The statement is utterly wrong. It is wrong mainly in two way as it fails to find the real culprit and chooses a way that is excess.

  【本段解析】

  開頭段落沒有什么特別之處，就是按部就班來就好。

  其實，如果可以兩句話說清楚，就也不用抓耳撓腮、絞盡腦汁想太多。

  [Body Para. 1]

  The statement may be right about the producer of the domestic refuse to some extent. Admittedly, it is those households that purchase the consumer products, and it is also those people who dispose of the waste. There is no denying that consumption of goods is one major source from which the waste is generated especially in countries where consumerism and materialism is prevailing. And unfortunately, such countries are not a small minority worldwide. Also, there exists a considerable number of people who use things in a wasteful and disposable way, and they toss a lot of rubbish, greater than the reasonable amount. However, if we think in the reversed way, over-packaging, poor durability, as well as excessive usage of material in goods are the critical issues. Blah blah blah …

  【本段解析】

  劃線部分的內容很關鍵，是應對這個指令的必要內容，是“走到我們的反方去”，是“知彼”。這個“知彼”的討論要充分。

  然后我們再去反駁。反駁的時候要注意：要有針對性，要去針對反方觀點在這個方面的漏洞去反駁，比如這一段：歸咎于消費者的直接反面是甩鍋給生產商。

  [Body Para. 2]

  論證思路：探討“方式”。

  People agreeing with this statement believes that restrictive policies or regulations would be powerful. This underlying idea is legitimate to a certain degree. In most societies, the government has the authority to regulate people’s behavior, perhaps including the amount of trash households are allowed to toss. People have the fears that they would be fined if they misbehave. However, the statement actually represents a nanny-state policy, and the restriction in response to such a triviality as the amount of trash accepted from each household seems unwise. Blah blah blah …

  【本段解析】

  同上一段，本段一開始的劃線部分很關鍵。

  老師再次強調：“走到我們的反方去”，并且討論足夠充分，不要浮光掠影或者輕描淡寫，當然也不要長篇累牘或者喧賓奪主。

  然后，我們再去反駁。我們再次強調：反駁的時候要有針對性，要去針對反方觀點在這個方面的漏洞去反駁。

  比如這一段：指望國家法令來管這個事情的反面是這點小事都要國家法令來管顯得幼稚了。

  [Conclusion]

  The statement points a finger at the wrong people—the most innocent and most incapable ones in the matter of trash. In fact, it is already late when the problem has reached each average household. Also, the measure—to impose a limit—is excess since we are dealing with a rather small issue.

  【本段解析】

  簡要總結主體部分的兩個段落的核心內容，也沒什么特別的，當然，也不需要什么特別的。
