简 评
这是一篇很有特色的GRE作文。一提起GRE作文,很多同学马上就将其与academicwriting,与goodreadEnglish等同起来。因此,很多同学拼命写出一些连自己都似懂非懂的非常正式的句子。因为不懂,这些句子其实自己很难写出来;惟一的门路只有靠“模板”——用模板“拼”文章。这样制造出来的文章难免千人一面,难免有抄袭嫌疑,也就难怪一些考G同学被判“死刑”,一些写作本来不错的同学考试归来成绩平平,大呼郁闷。其实对ETS评分标准稍有研究的人都知道最重要的是思想内容的深刻思路清晰。另外,这篇文章的语言也非常有特色:tomoveornottomove;andtheworseisyettoe等精炼的句子都显示出作者深厚的英语功底。
