Question

有关GRE作文的问题

作文是不是分ISSUE 和ARGUEMENT ？这两个之间有什么关系没有？后者是对另外的题目进行评论还是就是ISSUE的主题？
能否给我举一个例子？包括答案和题目

Answer 1

我刚考过，是分这两个部分，呵呵。
1.Issue就是我们俗称的大作文，一般是针对一个有争议的话题进行论证。可以选择同意作者的观点也可以不同意，还可以骑墙（就是先同意一部分再反驳或补充，一般新东方的老师都这么教呵呵），这个作文一般是要写400-600字的。
2.Agument 就是小作文，是让你找逻辑错误。就是给你一段话，然后你找这段话有什么问题。比如错误的因果关系，时间前后错误啊什么的。一般写400字就可以。
3.这两个没有关系的
4.最好买北美范文看一看，再下载全国和地方高频看看，这两个很有参考价值，因为题库的题有近500道，不可能全看完或准备完的。然后到寄托家园下一个模考软件，是完全模拟考场的，很好用的。
5.Issue举例：Issue212：If a goal is worthy,then any means to attain it is justifiable.只要值得不择手段达到目的就是合理的。
Agument举例：Agument38：38.The following memo appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.
"An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to
significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study
reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high,
people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of
colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds.
Since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school
and work, we recommend the daily use of Ichthaid, a nutritional supplement
derived from fish oil, as a good way to prevent colds and lower
absenteeism."

我们注意到一种保证可以显著减少学校和工作岗位的缺席的革新疗法。一项研究报告说在附近的East Meria，鱼的消费量很高，那里的人们每年因为治感冒而去看医生的次数只有一或两次。显然，吃较大量的鱼可以预防感冒。由于感冒是学校和单位缺席的最常见原因，我们建议每天服用Ichthaid，一种从鱼油中提炼的营养物质，作为预防感冒和减少缺席率的有效措施。
6.可以经常上太傻和寄托家园看看，很有收获的。有什么不知道的再问我~

Answer 2

GRE作文分ISSUE 和ARGUEMENT，这两者之间 也没有什么特别大的关系，就是在字数上有要求，要想在GRE作文上得高分，那么ISSUE 和ARGUEMENT的字数要求分别是500以上和400以上。
看看以下的例子就知道了：
ISSUE130. "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."

28. "Students should memorize facts only after they have studied the ideas, trends, and concepts that help explain those facts. Students who have learned only facts have learned very little."

ARGUMENT169. The following appeared in a letter from a department chairperson to the president of Pierce University. “Some studies conducted by Bronston College, which is also located in a small town, reveal that both male and female professors are happier living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. Therefore, in the interest of attracting the most gifted teachers and researchers to our faculty and improving the morale of our entire staff, we at Pierce University should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member we hire. Although we cannot expect all offers to be accepted or to be viewed as an ideal job offer, the money invested in this effort will clearly be well spent because, if their spouses have a chance of employment, new professors will be more likely to accept our offers."
ISSUE43."To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards."

ARGUMENT209.The following recommendation was made by the Human Resources Manager to the board of directors of the Fancy Toy Company.

"In the last three quarters of this year, under the leadership of our president, Pat Salvo, our profits have fallen considerably. Thus, we should ask for her resignation in return for a generous severance package. In Pat's place, we should appoint Rosa Winnings. Rosa is currently president of Starlight Jewelry, a company whose profits have increased dramatically over the past several years. Although we will have to pay Rosa twice the salary that Pat has been receiving, it will be well worth it because we can soon expect our profits to increase considerably."
