很多考生在新
一、吃饱喝足
吃饱喝足之后,心情激荡啊!然后我们要学会利用这个时候的心理动态来更好地进行写作。
“吃饱喝足”指的是调整生理状态,使得“革命的本钱”在很长一段时间处于平衡状态。当然如果能把一部分“本钱”存进银行供不时之需就更好了。
新GRE写作本来就是一个难产的过程,充满一定折磨与痛苦。为了更好地应对这些预期与非预期的痛苦,我们一定要将身体养好,至少保证我们具备写作的客观条件之一,也是必要条件之一。一切GRE考试的活动都是建立在比较健康的身体条件之上,而身体条件的必要因素又来自能量的摄入,因此,“吃饱喝足”很重要!!
二、应对写作焦虑(Coping with Writing Anxiety)
1.写作焦虑(Writing Anxiety)
在没有看下文前,本人先说说自己的Anxiety,主要是在ISSUE的写作中,对题目有一定的恐惧感。可能这些Anxieties也困绕着很多考生。
第一,不一定能揪出正确的关键字。
比如,221"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history." 正确的关键字决定了写作是否会跑题。
第二,即使揪出合适的关键字,在第一反应期内也不一定有话可说。
比如,130"How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society." 对于理工科的GF来说,平常的教学中忽视此类文科性知识是比较常见的。现在突然拿到”socialization” “better society“以及”education”,经常会出现大脑断电或短路,接下来的写作又从何说起?!
简而言之,担心自己对一问题会有看法,但不知道怎么去论证这一看法,更不要说让我们的论证persuasive, insightful.
第三,成人思想,婴儿表达。
即使有话可说,也不一定是ETS想要看到的话,有可能是会出现“成人思想,婴儿表达”。自己看了都觉得恶心,更不要说让professors来欣赏了。在ARGUMENT的写作中,主要担心没有把握A的逻辑链,develop深度不够,出现“强词夺理”的局面,而不是“晓之以理,动之以情”。
比如,17The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove town newspaper."Walnut Grove's town council has advocated switching from EZ Disposal (which has had the contract for trash collection services in Walnut Grove for the past ten years) to ABC Waste, because EZ recently raised its monthly fee from $2,000 to $2,500 a month, whereas ABC's fee is still $2,000. But the town council is mistaken; we should continue using EZ. EZ collects trash twice a week, while ABC collects only once. Moreover, EZ—which, like ABC, currently has a fleet of 20 trucks—has ordered additional trucks. Finally, EZ provides exceptional service: 80 percent of respondents to last year's town survey agreed that they were 'satisfied' with EZ's performance."
这道题的分析,在寄托上有比较详细的讨论,请自行查找。
2.如何克服Anxiety
Many situations or activities, such as writing, taking tests, competing in sports, or speaking before a large audience, may make us anxious or apprehensive. It's important to remember that a moderate level of anxiety is helpful and productive. That flow of adrenaline is a natural response that helps get us ready for action. Without it, we might not perform as well.
--a moderate level of anxiety is helpful and productive.
-- helps get us ready for action
看到这个短语,本人心情澎湃啊!汉语有云“变压力为动力”!这说明什么,说明我们上面提到的Anxiety是有好处的滴,而且可能是大大滴,当然前提是我们具备“变‘废’为宝”的心理素质与操作能力。
必要的anxiety可以使我们认识到“我还有好多东西不懂”,触发紧张感,加快做事速度,以尽可能短的时间去搜索相关资料,并尽可能地解决问题,无形中提高时间利用率。这也就是”helpful and productive”的原因之一。
--If we let our anxiety overwhelm us, it can cause problems. If we control that anxiety, however, we can make it work for us.
印证了“如果我们不把GRE考试折磨得死去活来,就是GRE考试把我们折磨得死去活来!”。面对写作中的困难与压力,有两种选择:被他们打倒,从此与新GRE作文很难再续前缘;以“你可以消灭我,但不可以打败我”的精神信念恰当地处理,或许等待我们会看到“夕阳无限好”!
以上就是小编对GRE考试写作焦虑症的应对方法分析,希望这些方法能够让考生摆脱新GRE写作焦虑症的烦恼。其实说是焦虑其实是对自己新GRE作文的不信任,觉得自己写不出多好的文章,这就需要大家在平时的训练中就抓紧时间和一切资源努力准备写作考试,复习好了自然就会有底气。
