  ETS公布了它考试的所有写作题库,所以备考的同学们可以按照这些题库进行提前练习,掌握写作思路和表达要点,下面是小编提供的2016年2月26日

  笔者所考察的2篇作文分别为:

  Issue:In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years.

  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.

  Argument:Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

  Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

  对于作文复习的整体建议:

  1. ETS的做文库是公开的,包括200多道ISSUE和200多道argument,考试题目只出这个范围内的,只要安排好时间,是能够对题目进行充分准备的;如果时间有限,可以根据高频作文题目的统计进行准备,当然,这样准备也有一定的风险性

  2. 自己多动手、多思考、多找材料。

  3. 中国考生的作文成绩普遍在2.5-3.5之间,以3.0最多,班级中出现作文≥4.0的同学时,都会向学生询问是如何备考,基本回复都是一条“写的比较多”。以笔者自身来说,大部分时间专注于verbal的思考,本次的issue题目从未进行过准备,以至于考场上思考了3-4分钟粗列提纲内心就容易急迫,编写边设计,即便能完成一篇相对完整的文章,逻辑性和深度也无法保证。而所遇到的argument是笔者熟悉和列过提纲的,所以考场上内心稳定,自己写完也会觉得逻辑层次是满意的、核心逻辑错误也大约着到了。大概除了“写”,并无更好更切实际的办法了。
