GMAT AWA寫作template,輕取5分
GMAT的Analyitcal Writing Assessment (AWA)部分,要求考生在30分鐘之內,寫一篇大約400字的5段式的文章(雖然官方沒正式要求,但要取5-6分必備)。如用5–8分鐘審題及起草大綱,就只得22–25分鐘爆400字。對亞洲地區的考生來說,尤為吃力。
迅狐認為,如果擔心趕不及在半小時內想出3大論點、寫出400字,最好的辦法,是準備一個任何題目也可用到的萬用template。一進場,就把背好的「罐頭句式」馬上傾倒出來。
因此,迅狐設計了這個萬用AWA寫作模板template,幫助大家爭取更多時間思考寫作內容 。只要跟著這個template去寫,也不愁寫不出5段式400字英文文章。
開首段落 (introduction):
1. The argument claims/proposes/concludes/recommends/suggests that…2. To support the claim/conclusion, the author assumes/points out/cites …
3. While it may be compelling at face value/has some merits at first glance,
4. (a) it fails to supply sufficient support in favour of the argument/ (b) it omits/leaves out several key issues/ (c) the conclusion relies on assumptions for which there is no clear evidence
中段(body):
- (a) First/Secondly/Finally, the author readily/simply assumes/ proposes/claims/concludes/suggests/recommends/reckons/ believes that… / (b) In a weak attempt to support its claim, the argument describes…
- (a) This rests on flawed/dubious/unlikely/questionable/invalid/ groundless assumption/ (b) This is a very/wholly weak/unsupported claim as the argument does not address/ demonstrate…/ (c) The fact that … does not necessarily support the claim
- To illustrate,/For instance,/For example,
- Therefore,/Hence,/Apparently, the argument is unwarranted/ unsubstantiated/unconvincing at best
- (a) To make it sound more appealing/compelling/convincing, the author could…/ (b) If the author had provided evidence that…, the argument would have been a lot more convincing.
結尾 (conclusion):
- In conclusion,/ In light of the above, the argument is based on flawed assumptions and thus unsubstantiated/unconvincing/open to debate/ not sound/ misleading,
- and it can be considerably strengthed/reinforced/enhanced/ more thorough if the aforementioned/ above concerns are addressed/discussed/taken into account.
