GRE写作技巧指南（精选6篇）
首先，GRE写作的练习题是给定的，经过几年下来的前人总结，机考本身已经毫无悬念。高频，模板，例证，范文，大量资料充斥在互联网上并且被专业人士和机构总结印刷成册。考生们只销在考前花两三个月集中练习，得个申请的分数根本不成问题。基础好的人更是一两个月已足矣。但问题也随之而来了，大家都用着同样的参考资料不说，写作水平也都如出一辙，考官看来也就无法分辨孰好孰坏，唯有给出最安全的分数。
其次，因为倾向于去临阵磨枪，语言上虽然慢慢向规范的英文书面语靠拢，但仍缺乏时间上的沉淀而无法达到新GRE作文本身的语言精练，一步到位的特点。仅仅做到了形似而神不似。因此观点写得稍好一点的同学，就可得到那0.5，如果有语言做支持，就可上到4。
最后，可以说大部分的新GRE写作还停留在临摹而不是独立作品的阶段。因为有着现成的模板和例证，在范文的引导下，模仿写作的结构和观点。所以往往造成一篇作文看起来是那么回事儿，但实际上又没有说透的感觉。对题目的意义和作文目的的把握还缺少透彻的理解。
GRE写作提纲如何列
1、什么时候开始练习在模考时加入新GRE作文提纲?
比较适合的是在最后10天到一周的样子。因为这首先需要在一定高强度的写作练习之后，再者，需要对题目已经有了一定的把握。很多的提纲在之前都大体列过。然后在限时中加入提纲的写作。
2、用多长时间列GRE作文提纲?
我的经验是ISSUE总体比ARGU短。ISSUE大体要2-3分钟，ARGU怎么都要3分钟。可能要5分钟。
3、新GRE作文提纲里都要包含些什么?
对ISSUE来说，读第一遍题目时把关键词提出来，接着将核心话题列出来，根据这个话题开始一条一条列出你要写的东西;ARGU来说，因为题目比较长，所以读题的时间就要比前者长。
第一遍建议先把每一个意群讲的是什么简要提出来，排上序号;第二从这些小短句分析其文章结构和主要错误;第三把自己对错误的阐述顺序列出来。这样差不多是可以的了。
4、列GRE作文提纲的一些技巧
需要在练习中找到自己的记录法，哪种缩写是自己看得明了的。要记出来的摘要最后自己还要辨析几分钟。建议在平时列提纲的时候就有意识的做一下限定时间练习，看2-3分钟能不能把大体的框架列出来。
其他：我觉得如果正确掌握提纲的写法和时间分配问题，将是对于AW的核心实力的一种提高。对比于其他人，无论如何都是要略胜一筹的。
鼓励大家去积极尝试，发掘自己最适合的一套方法。我主要就是告诉大家，在45和30分钟内写两个提纲+ISSUE650和ARGU550+还剩平均3分钟时间检查，是绝对可以实现的。因为我自己就是例子。
GRE写作应该如何改错
原稿(第四段)
语言修改
And[4] the mainstream science plays the very vital role to provide people with reasonable methods[5]. These science are based on practical experiments, carefully analize and reasoning[6]. They may not seem as good as those nonmainstream areas in satisfying human needs, but under their artless face they give people real help. On the other hand, science plays the very vital role of providing people with reasoned[7] methods to conduct life. Science is based on practical experiments, careful analysis, and reasoning. They may not seem as miraculous as nonmainstream areas in satisfying human needs, but under their artless face they give people real help.
GRE写作内容点评及修改
这一段大问题跟前面类似，只是提出了主流的科学给人们提供合理的方法。这些科学是基于实验，仔细的分析和逻辑的方法的。它们看上去不如非主流的追求那样满足人们的追求，但是却能给人提供真正的帮助。这是作者的观点，但是没有具体说明科学是如何给人们提供合理的方法，缺乏真正能够支持论点的实例。下面的修改范例在内容上对原稿进行了补充。不仅提出科学不像那些迷信那样能够给人们提供奇迹的、不可思议的方法，但是在科学朴实的外表之下它能够给人们带来真正的帮助，并例举了
具体的科学门类所给人们提供的帮助。
修改范例
On the other hand, the history of mankind has amply demonstrated that, science based on experiments and analysis, provide people with reasoned methods to conduct life. Psychology explains human behavior. Sociology enlightens people on their relationship with their surrounding environment. Modern medicine has advanced so much that it is now possible to predict cancer even before a child is born.
原稿(第五段)
语言修改
Generally speaking, the so-called[8] nonmainstream areas color our life to a GREat extent, but we should believe in[9] the mainstream science when we want to resolve problems[10]. Mainstream areas color our lives to a GREat extent, but we should put our trust in mainstream science when we want to solve real problems.
总评这篇GRE考试作文所犯的错误非常有代表性，提出的观点几乎完全没有例证。这是中国学生最大的通病。许多学生似乎觉得如果观点是公认的，就不需要例证了。但是现在是在考写作能力，其中最重要的一条就是能否用恰当地例证支持观点。至于观点是否新颖还是其次的考量。
第二个错误，也是非常普遍的错误就是没有表现出对问题的复杂性的理解。有老师把这一点说成是“表达复杂思想的能力”。这样说不准确。GRE写作不要求表达“复杂的思想”,而是表现出洞悉议题的复杂性的能力。GRE作文的题目往往不是黑白分明的，你可以有自己的观点，多么强烈都可以，但是从第一段起，就要注意展现对问题复杂性的认识。具体说，就是认识到你反驳或不同意的观点往往也有它的道理。 [1] “Do harm to”改为“harm”，因为这样说更直接。英语里有 “does more harm than good”, “did little harm”这样的表达法，但是“对…有害”应该直接用 “harm”, 或者be harmful to, be detrimental to.
[2] “resolution” 是“决心”的意思，如New Year resolution. 此外还有“决议”的意思，如：a resolution of the dispute.“解决问题”中的“解决”要用“solve” 或者“solution”。
[3] “the God”改为“God ”或是“the Gods”。
[4]表示转折的词中and是很少用的。这一段和上一段的关系是转折，应该用but。
[5]原稿中只提到了methods，而没有说是干什么的方法。改后稿改为methods to conduct life，具体说明了处理生活的方法。
[6]第二句犯了parallelism的错误，不能够真正的平行。practical experiments是个名词, carefully analize 是副词加动词，而reasoning是动名词。“科学看上去不如非主流的追求那样满足人们的追求。”这句话在内容上也是有问题的。
[7] reasoned表示“合乎逻辑的”，reasonable表示“较为合理的”不一定是合乎逻辑的。reasonable还表示“费用不高的”。
[8] 用法错误：“So-called”暗示所提及的内容不是真正意义上的非主流，只是这样叫罢了。
[9] believe in: 信仰, trust, put trust in: 信任。
比较适合的是在最后10天到一周的样子。因为这首先需要在一定高强度的写作练习之后，再者，需要对题目已经有了一定的把握。很多的提纲在之前都大体列过。然后在限时中加入提纲的写作。
GRE作文列提纲时间限制介绍
根据GRE考试的经验来看，因为ISSUE总体比ARGU短，所以，ISSUE大体要2-3分钟，ARGU怎么都要3分钟。可能要5分钟的时间来进行列提纲的工作。
GRE作文提纲要写什么内容?
对ISSUE来说，读第一遍题目时把关键词提出来，接着将核心话题列出来，根据这个话题开始一条一条列出你要写的东西;ARGU来说，因为题目比较长，所以读题的时间就要比前者长。

一、GRE数学：梳理知识要点
在GRE考试中，数学相对容易一些，很多中国考生都存在一定的轻视心理，觉得难度太低不屑于投入太多时间复习，备考压力也没那么大。但是，如果考生想要拿到一个满意的GRE成绩，数学满分是标配，而想拿满分并不容易。
小站教育GRE名师认为，要拿满分，除了考前需要适量刷模拟题之外，最重要的，是对于GRE考试大纲中知识点的梳理：首先，需要更加深层次地去挖掘这个概念下的盲点和易错点;其次，需要了解到在这个概念下，会有到的出题方式;最后，需要吃透每个知识点，学会将试题翻译成数学语言，当题目很绕的时候，直接利用这个出题方式下对应的解决方法，做起来会容易了很多。
二、GRE语文：规划解题顺序
GRE语文VERBAL备考中，词汇量是重中之重。在仅剩一个月的复习时间里，强化并熟练解题技巧也能助益考试分数的提升：考生可以充分利用返回修改答案这个功能来安排自己的做题顺序，以提升得分效率。
因此，在最后一月冲刺备考时，考生们可通过大量模考来熟练做题顺序。小站名师建议的较好做题顺序如下：
填空(开始的前5—6题，包括单空题、双空题、三空题)，跳过中间的长/短阅读，继续完成后面的4—5题一空六选二题目，接着做后面的4—5个阅读题，做到第20题后，点击”REVIEW“，跳回前面第7题左右开始的阅读题，完成剩余阅读题目。这样可以高效完成填空并集中精力进行阅读，时间分配是填空9—10分钟，阅读17—19分钟，最后留下1—2分钟检查。
三、GRE作文：提分4+指南
对于把留学申请目标定在排名靠前专业和学校的GRE考生来说，GRE写作部分得到4分以上的成绩才能更有保障。而想要做到这一点其实并不容易，特别是ISSUE和ARGUMENT两篇作文都要写好对中国考生来说是比较有挑战的。如何才能做到作文上4分呢?小站教育名师总结了如下的一个月作文提分经验：
1. Argument
定位漏洞、论述漏洞，首先需要系统审题，通过读题解构，划分题目本身，定位漏洞;其次，考生需要注意首段/主体段/结尾段的结构划分方式，列出大纲，有逻辑地写作;最后，需要熟练掌握题库十大类核心漏洞。
2. Issue
对于专业的学术性议论文写作，首先需要有专业审题构思法：题目解构/构思+两种写作结构+列提纲，然后通过首段/主体段(235法写主体段)/结尾段的写法，准确抓住题目特征，从破题点入手，有针对性地给到关键信息，让文章有理有据，抓人眼球，从而冲刺高分。

摄像机可以通过如此精确而有力的记录手段来再现当代生活，因此它已经代替书面记录成为了一种更重要的记录手段。
GRE写作算分基本公式介绍
新GRE写作要求考生在30分钟+30分钟内分别完成两篇文章，它是美国所有作文考试中时间最长而质量要求最高的一类作文考试。GRE写作的记分方式是这样的，两篇作文总分都是六分，计算公式为你的得分=(Issue的得分+Argument的得分)/2，最终的计分是以0.5分为一个格。
GRE写作不同题型要求简介
1. Issue task (30min)，要求作者根据所给题目，完成一篇表明立场的逻辑立论文。
2. Argument task (30min)，要求考生分析所给题目，完成一篇驳论文，指出并且有力的驳斥题目中的主要逻辑错误。
GRE作文两篇文章分数权重分析
首先GRE写作两个部分在总分中的权重是一样的。新GRE作文中有两个项目，最后出的GRE作文分数是一个，所以如何进行GRE作文算分呢?由于AA的写作不牵涉自己观点的展开，只须指出作者逻辑上的漏洞，因此在经过训练以后，写起来并不困难;而AI的写作需要自己展开自己设立的观点，不但需要逻辑上的洞察能力，还需要论证观点的能力，语言组织的能力，因此对于中国考生来讲比较困难，难以短期内有较大提高。
但是这两个部分在总分中的权重是一样的，因此考生的策略应该是尽量提高AI部分的写作能力而力保AA部分满分(或高分)。因为如果AA部分满分的话，AI部分只需争取在4分以上就可以保证整体作文分数在5分以上。
ETS写作评分标准概述
参照ETS评过分的范文，我们不难发现：无论是ISSUE还是ARGUMENT在评分标准上都有共同之处。
1. 观点要有深度，论证要有说服力;
2. 组织要有条理，表达清晰准确;
3. 语言流利，句式复杂，词汇丰富。
这三条分别说的是行文的“思想性”、“结构性”和“表达性”，众多高分作文的考生大凡都在这三个方面做得很好，我们理所当然也要从这里入手，采取“各个击破”的方法解剖GRE作文的本质，从而得到一个理想分数。
GRE作文分类题库-ISSUE
一 教育类 1. A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer.”
2. While some leaders in government, sports, industry, and other areas attribute their success to a well-developed sense of competition, a society can better prepare its young people for leadership by instilling in them a sense of cooperation.
3. In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.
4. Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student’s field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated.
5. Colleges and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts and literature of the past.
6. It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears.
7. Some educational systems emphasize the development of students’ capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions.
8. It is often asserted that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit. In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.
9. 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.
10. Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators.
11. The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas—not to prepare them for a specific job.
12. Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Othervise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped.
13. Although innovations such as video, computers, and the internet seem to offer schools improved methods for instructing students, these technologies all too often distract from real learning.
GRE作文分类题库-ISSUE
二 学习类 1. We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose vies contradict our own. Disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
2. No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.
3. Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction-in other words, to make things as simple as possible.
4. Students should memories 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.
5. Scholars and researches should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem.
6. In any academic area or professional field, it is just as important to recognize the limits of our knowledge and understanding as it is to acquire new facts and information.
7. Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions.
8. Students should bring a certain skepticis to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.
9. There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer’s expectations or desires.
10. The human mind will always be superior to machines because machines are only tools of human minds.
11. Critical judgment of work, in any given field has little value unless comes from someone who is an expert in that field.
12. People who pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons are more likely to benefit the rest of the world than are people who try to act for the public good.
13. Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways.
14. The study of ac academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes.
15. The way students and scholars interpret the materials they work with in their academic fields is more of personality than of training. Different interpretations come about when people with different personalities look at exactly the same objects, facts, data, or events and see different things.
16. As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious.
17. It is a grave mistake to theorize before one has data.
GRE作文分类题库-ISSUE
三 行为类 1. Although many people think that the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, they in fact, prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent individuals.
2. Public figures such as actors, politicians, and athletes should expect people to be interested in their private lives. When they seek a public role, they should expect that they will lose at least some of their privacy.
3. Creating an appealing image has become more important in contemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that image.
4. The concept of ‘individual responsibility’ is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people’s behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.
5. People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does.
6. In any realm of life-whether academic, social, business, or political— the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of vies. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options.
7. It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.
8. Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress.
9. Most people recognize the benefits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity.
10. People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are the most critical of it.
11. No amount of information can eliminate prejudice because prejudice is rooted in emotion, not reason.
12. The most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed in particular principles and objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little.
13. Sometimes imagination is a more valuable asset than experience. People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints of established habits and attitudes.
14. In any given field, the leading voices come from people who are motivated not by conviction but by the desire to present opinions and ideas that differ from those held by the majority.
15. It is always an individual who is the impetus for innovation; the details may be worked out by a team, but true innovation results from the enterprise and unique perception of an individual.
16. Success, whether academic or professional, involves an ability to survive in a new environment and--, eventually, --to change it.
17. Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work.
18. If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.
19. People often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms, we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.
20. People are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are more complex and challenging than the problems, faced by their predecessors. Thus illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience.
21. Moderation in all things is ill-considered advice. Rather, one should say, ‘Moderations is most things,’ since many areas of human concern require or at least profit from intense focus.
