篇11：GMAT考试写作参考作文

GMAT考试写作参考作文

The following appeared as part of an article in a photography magazine.

When choosing whether to work in color or in black-and-white, the photographer who wishes to be successful should keep in mind that because color photographs are more true-to-life, magazines use more color photographs than black-and-white ones, and many newspapers are also starting to use color photographs. The realism of color also accounts for the fact that most portrait studios use more color film than black-and-white film. Furthermore, there are more types of color film than black-and-white film available today. Clearly, photographers who work in color have an advantage over those who work in black-and-white.

Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

The author concludes that photographers who work in color hold a competitive advantage over those who work in black-and-white. To support this conclusion, the author claims that the greater realism of color accounts for its predominant use in magazines and portraits. The author also points out that newspapers now use color photographs, and that there are more types of color film than black-and-white film available today. This argument is problematic in several important respects.

First, the argument unfairly assumes that working in color is necessary in order to gain an advantage. The author identifies only two areasmagazine and portrait photographywhere color predominates. It is possible that the overall demand for black-and-white photography remains high. Moreover, the author provides no evidence that the realism of color photography is the reason for its predominance. The predominant use of color may be due to other factorssuch as consumer preferences or relative costs of filmwhich might change at any time.

GMAT考试中如何写作文

首先，逻辑的作用在于它告诉你了逻辑关系的句子该怎么写，这些关系句也就是构成你issue和argument的基本框架。有人会说，对issue怎么会有用呢，issue不是立论吗?我认为AWA写作的精华在于你的逻辑思维能力，你怎样去用自己身边的examples and experiences去convince考官，怎样让他明白你在二选一题目中对问题分析的透彻性以及你为什么做出最后的选择，让考官看过你的文章后觉得你说的很有道理，甚至眼前一亮，而不是用华丽的`词藻让他眼花缭乱。总之，闪现智慧的火花以及强大严密的逻辑分析。

其次，语法题的作用是不可低估的，其实AWA写作和SC有异曲同工之妙，就是句子重实用、简洁，要清楚的表达意思，同时再追求一下结构上的美感。SC做多了，基本的句子结构错误就不会再犯了，同时什么时候用不定式to do，什么时候用分词doing/done都会心里有数，介词指代也会把握得比较准。最关键的一点就是你清楚的表达了你的意思，这一点说来简单但却是绝大多数人的问题。

篇14：GMAT考试时间安排

GMAT考试全年都有，因此考生可以根据个人安排灵活选择考试时间。具体考试时间会根据考场容量和报名情况略有调整。考生报名时可以查询所选考点的时间安排。

一、关于GMAT考前一周的准备

考前一周应当有一个详尽的计划，比如哪几天早上模考，每天晚上睡觉的时间，早上的起床时间，每天的作题量不宜过多，而且不宜过偏;关键在于让你不要忘了做题的感觉，而不是提高作题的水平，哪一天专门用于看机经总结，哪一天用于看自己以前做错的题，考前一天是不是去看看考场的位置，买巧克力、咖啡、洋参含片、考试那天的早饭的时间(有人推荐用红牛，我觉得也可以，但必须考前模考时实验一下是否真正对自己有用;咖啡对我而言已经足够了，所以没有费心去找红牛)。

考试当天可以早点到，因为早到可以早考，这样考verbal的时候不会太饿^_^。不过为了以防万一，可以适当带些填饥的东西，在break的时候啃两口。

二、考试当天的情况以及需要注意的地方

昨天晚上根本没有睡着：11点半睡的，没办法睡着，然后强迫自己数数字，从1到200，数了10遍，依然没有睡着;上厕所4次后，发现已经早上4点了，继续在床上磨蹭了一个小时，知道命中注定是睡不着了，索性起来上网。到CD上看了一下昨晚1点的新机经，回答了几个帖子，开始想下一步干什么。

把准备好的42个AI机经提纲重新审视了一遍，然后把自己整理的verbal机经重新看了一遍，作了一套pp3语法和一套pp3逻辑，发现闹钟响了。开始吃早饭，喝咖啡(不敢早吃，怕做verbal时饿)，整理行装，冲了个澡，等待昨天订好的出租车。准时上车，到考场大约8点05分。谁知道那个天杀的lesliewang提供的地图是错的(应当从世纪钟旁边的门进去)，等找到正确的考场已经8点15分了。发现里面已经坐了很多人，旁边两个mm在抄誓词。(唯一比我晚到的mm迟到了)。验体温、查证件、用狂草抄誓词和写地址，拿钥匙存东西(趁机吃了一块巧克力并喝了一口咖啡)，然后等待让我进去。注意口袋里除了给你的那把箱子钥匙以外不能有别的东西。(墙上有一告示，不允许先将作文模板在选学校或看tutorial时抄在草稿纸上，大家必须将模板背熟，并在机器上多练几遍)

进去前拍了一张巨丑无比的照片，然后得到一副耳塞、两支铅笔和六张订在一起不能拆开的草稿纸。戴上耳塞走到电脑前(注意耳塞要先捏一下然后再塞到耳朵里让其自然张开，就几乎听不见任何东西了)，深呼吸，发现先要填学校(白白深呼吸了)，此时注意不是填代号，而是按州选学校，所以大家一定要先知道自己想要送成绩的学校的州名。

第一篇作文是ai，由于准备到了(总共准备了42篇)，轻松写了500多字(而且自认为写的很有道理，居然列举了5条理由;不过模板就200多字)。写完还有4分钟，检查了一下语法错误，click confirm，写aa。aa我没有准备过任何题目，因为我有一个自己精心创作的aa写法(适合于任何aa)，自以为远胜过七宗罪，以后贴给大家。写了400多字，全部是长句。(提醒大家：1、作文的顺序不定，可能aa在前，也可能ai在前;2、考试中心不允许先将作文模板在选学校或看tutorial时抄在草稿纸上，大家必须将模板背熟，并在机器上多练几遍)

举手要求休息，check out，吃了一块巧克力，喝了一口咖啡，上了一次厕所，在门口踱了2步，然后check in做数学。已经提醒自己要谨慎，但还是提前25-30分钟作完(所以只考了50)。由于模考时数学princeton一般提前40分钟作完，kaplan提前20-25分钟作完，所以也没有太多压力。值得提醒的是，由于我总结了7、8月所有数学机经，所以至少遇到10道以上机经题。题目大致都与机经差不多，有几题机经漏条件了(虽然考试时想着回来提醒大家，但是考完就忘了)。所以奉劝大家看数学机经时不要钻牛角尖，看不懂的题目(指那些感觉明显缺条件的)就扔掉。另外，多参与论坛上的讨论(帮助解决别人的疑惑)可以同时提高自己的水平。有很多散布在论坛上的讨论题目实际上存在着高人的解释，看了会有帮助的。(题外话说一句，写本文时陆续看到各地xdjm的机经，再次证明全球题库是相同的)

篇15：我的GMAT考试作文

我是靠GMAT的，本人水平实在很菜，但拿到成绩单后竟然有6分，真是FT，主要归功模版，我的模版主要是借鉴一个6分大牛的，和各位XDJM分享ISSUE:

Recently there is a debate over whether…..Some people assert that.., while other people believe that…As a matter of fact, the issue of whether….. is a complex and controversial one. Different people hold different views due to their distinct backgrounds. Therefore, there is not a universal answer to this question, and whether one choice takes precedence over the other may quite depend on the specific situation. The decision, nevertheless, is not an easy one to make. Actually, the final judgment should rely on a case-by-case analysis. As far as I am concerned, however, I agree that…. , and do not agree that….. My view can be greatly substantiated by the following discussions.

The first argument that can be presented to develop my position is that…A good example may be found in the case that…Under this circumstance, it is obvious that….

In addition, there is another reason for me to choose this statement. The reason is not far to seek…. To illustrate, let us consider that…Hence, another equally important aspect is that….

Admittedly, it may be true that…. in some conditions. However, this alone does not constitute a sufficient support to claim that….,Actually, these cases are rare and therefore are too specific and too weak to strengthen the view that…When the advantages and disadvantages of x and y are carefully examined, the most striking conclusion is obvious that…

To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate an integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them, we may be comfortable to say that…., because….

ARGUMENT

In this argument, the author concludes that…To support his conclusion, the author points out that…. In addition, the author reasons that…Further more, he also assumes that…. At first glance, the author’s argument appears to be somehow appealing, while a close examination will reveal how groundless it is. We do not have to look very far to see the invalidity of this argument. This argument is problematic for the following reasons.

In the first place, this argument rests on a gratuitous assumption that…. The author unfairly assumes that…. However, the assumption is questionable because the author provides no evidence to support this argument. The arguer fails to takesintosaccount other facts that might contribute to the result that…….. It is likely that ,……………..; it is also likely that…………………………Any of these scenarios, if true, would show that………………….. (72) Therefore, this argument is unwarranted without ruling out such possibility.

In the second place, the argument commits a logic fallacy of“after this and therefore because of this”. In no case can the mere fact that…be cited as evidence to support the assumption that there is a causal-effect relationship between A and B. Moreover, that just because B can be statistically correlated with A does not necessarily mean that A is the cause of B. In fact, the author has obviously neglected the possibility of other alternative facts such as…, or…may contribute to a certain extent to B. It may be only a coincidence that……. Unless the author can rule out other factors relevant to…, this assumption in question can not be accepted.

In the third place, the evidence that the author provides is insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it. One example is rarely sufficient to establish a general conclusion. Unless the arguer can show that A1 is representative of all A, the conclusion that B…is completely unwarranted. In fact, in face of such limited evidence, it is fallacious to draw any conclusion at all.

In the fourth place, the argument has also committed a false analogy fallacy. The argument rests on the assumption that A is analogous to B in all respects, and the author assumes without justification that all things are equal, and that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different locations. There is, however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Lacking this assumption, the conclusion that…is entirely unfounded. In fact, it is highly doubtful that the facts drawn from B are applicable to A. Differences between A and B clearly out weight the similarities, thus making the analogy highly less than valid. For example, A..., however, B.... Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B to do....

In addition, the conclusion unjustifiably relies on the poll while the validity of the survey itself is doubtful. The poll cited by the author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not indicate who, when, how and by whom the survey is conducted, neither does it mention what is the sample size, or how the samples are selected. Until the

篇16：我的GMAT考试作文

se questions are answered the results are worthless as evidence to support that….

Besides, the author assumes that A and B are mutually exclusive alternatives. However, the author has never offered any reasons or evidences for imposing an either/or choice. Common sense and observation tells us that adjoining both A and B might produce better results.

To sum up, the conclusion lacks credibility because the evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to what the author claims. To make the argument more convincing concerning…. , the arguer would have to provide more information that………………. The arguer should also demonstrate that……………….to make this argument logically acceptable. (51)

Since the author commits the above mentioned logical mistakes and fails to consider the whole situation comprehensively, his ideas should not be adopted. The conclusion would be strengthened if he….

In conclusion, the arguer fails to substantiate his claim that…. Because the evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to what the arguer claims. To strengthen the argument, the arguer must convince us that…. In addition, the arguer could have to provide more precise information to support his claim.

It is entirely possible that management has become lax regarding any number of factors that can affect the bottom line such as inferior products, careless product pricing, inefficient production, poor employee expense monitoring, ineffective advertising, sloppy buying policies and other wasteful spending.

篇17：GMAT考试作文点评分析

The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods:

“Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its 25th birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.”

逻辑漏洞：

1. false analogy: The food industry is not analogous to the color film industry.

2.causal oversimplification: Other factors that may contribute t to the cost decline of the printing cost should be considered and ruled out.

3.gratuitous assumption: The conclusion of the argument is based on a gratuitous assumption that the company can minimize cost and maximize profit because the company has been conducted for 25 years.

范文：

The author assumes that since organizations engaged in color-film processing were able to increase efficiency and cut-down costs over a period of 25 years; same must be true of Olympic Foods, which is about to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The arguments is based on questionable assumptions and weak analogies and appears to be a result of a hasty generalization.

The main problem with the author’s reasoning is the weak analogy he develops between the two “processing” industries. One fails to see any logical connection between the two and the author makes no effort to show the connection either. The two industries are too dissimilar to be compared. For example: frozen food industry faces problem of storage, transportation, contamination etc; no similar problems are observed in the film-processing industry. Even the markets for the two differ widely. The argument could have been strong if the author could show the missing connection or if he had compared the frozen-food industry with a similar industry.

Also the author fails to recognize that it’s not the number of years of experience that matters; what actually matters is what is learnt over all those years.

The author concludes that the local transit company must either reduce tares for the shuttle buses that transport people to then- subway stations or increase parking fees at the stations. The reasons offered to support this conclusionare that commuter use of the subway train is exceeding the transit companys expectations, while commuter use of the shuffle buses is below projected volume. This argument is unconvincing because the author oversimplifies the problem and its solutions in a number of ways.

To begin with, by concluding that the transit company must either reduce shuttle fares or increase parking fees, the author assumes that these are the only available solutions to the problem of limited shuttle use. However, it is possible that other factors-such as inconvenient shuttle routing and/or scheduling, safety concerns, or an increase in carpoolscontribute to the problem. If so, adjusting fares or parking fees would might not solve the problem.

In addition, the author assumes that reducing shuttle fees and increasing parking fees are mutually exclusive alternatives. However, the author provides no reason for imposing an either/or choice. Adjusting both shuttle fares and parking fees might produce better results. Moreover, if the author is wrong in the assumption that parking fees and shuttle fees are the only possible causes of the problem, then the most effective solution might include a complex of policy changesfor example, in shuttle fares, parking fees, rerouting, and rescheduling.

篇19：GMAT优秀英文作文

The most important reason for studying history is not that knowledge of history can make us better people or a better society but that it can provide clues to solving the societal problems that we face today.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Examining history makes us better people insofar as it helps us to understand our world. It would seem, therefore, that history would also provide useful clues for dealing with the same social ills that have plagued societies throughout history. On balance, however, the evidence suggests otherwise.

Admittedly, history has helped us learn the appropriateness of addressing certain issues, particularly moral ones, on a societal level. Attempts to legislate morality invariably fail, as illustrated by Prohibition in the 1930s and, more recently, failed federal legislation to regulate access to adult material via the Internet. We are slowly learning this lesson, as the recent trend toward legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes and the recognition of equal rights for same-sex partners both demonstrate.

篇20：GMAT优秀作文摘抄

Scientists are continually redefining the standards for what is beneficial or harmful to the environment. Since these standards keep shifting, companies should resist changing their products and processes in response to each new recommendation until those recommendations become government regulations.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

The speaker argues that because scientists continually shift viewpoints about how our actions affect the natural environment, companies should not change their products and processes according to scientific recommendations until the government requires them to do so. This argument raises complex issues about the duties of business and about regulatory fairness and effectiveness. Although a wait-and-see policy may help companies avoid costly and unnecessary changes, three countervailing considerations compel me to disagree overall with the argument.

First, a regulatory system of environmental protection might not operate equitably. At first glance, a wait-and-see response might seem fair in that all companies would be subject to the same standards and same enforcement measures. However, enforcement requires detection, and while some violators may be caught, others might not. Moreover, a broad regulatory system imposes general standards that may not apply equitably to every company. Suppose, for example, that pollution from a company in a valley does more damage to the environment than similar pollution from a company on the coast. It would seem unfair to require the coastal company to invest as heavily in abatement or, in the extreme , to shut down the operation if the company cannot afford abatement measures.

篇21：GMAT优秀作文欣赏

The vice president of Nostrum argues that implementing an increase in health and retirement benefits for employees is not a good idea at this time. His main line of reasoning s that an increase in benefits is both financially unjustified and unnecessaryfinancially unjustified because last years profits were lower than the preceding years, and unnecessary because Nostrums chief competitor offers lower benefits to its employees and because a recent Nostrum employee survey indicates that two-thirds of the respondents viewed the current benefits package favorably While the argument has some merit, it is not completely convincing.

Admittedly the vice presidents reasoning linking employee benefits with company profits seems reasonable on its face. Companies that are not profitable are ill-advised to take on additional costs such as increased employee benefits. However, the fact that Nostrums profits last year were lower than the preceding year does not imply that Nostrum is experiencing financial difficulties that preclude it from increasing employee benefits at this time. Perhaps the previous years profits were extremely large; whereas last years profits, albeit lower, were sufficient to fund an increase in the benefits package without threatening the companys bottom line.

(D) It advances an argument to be disputed.

(E) It introduces conflicting arguments to be reconciled.

Australian researchers have discovered electroreceptors (sensory organs designed to respond to electrical fields) clustered at the tip of the spiny anteater s snout. The researchers made this discovery by exposing small areas of

(5) the snout to extremely weak electrical fields and recording the transmission of resulting nervous activity to the brain. While it is true that tactile receptors, another kind of sensory organ on the anteater s snout, can also respond to electrical stimuli, such receptors do so only in response to

(10) electrical field strengths about 1,000 times greater than those known to excite electroreceptors.

a Having discovered the electroreceptors, researchers are cow investigating how anteaters untilize such a sophisticated sensory system. In one behavioral experiment, researchers

(15) successfully trained an anteater to distinguish between two troughts of water, one with a weak electrical field and the other with none. Such evidence is consistent with researchers electrical signals given off by prey; however,

(20) researchers as yet have been unable to detect electrical agnals emanating from termite mounds, where the favorite food of anteaters live. Still, researchers have observed anteaters breaking into a nest of ants at an oblique angle and quickly locating nesting chambers. This ability quickly

(25) to locate unseen prey suggests according to the researchers, that the anteaters were using their electroreceptors to locate the nesting chambers.

7. Accoraing to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic that distinguishes electroreceptors from tactile receptors?

(A) The manner in which electroreceptors respond to electrical stimuli

(B) The tendency of electroreceptors to be found in clusters

(D) The am
