GRE Issue写作范文：历史研究

　　The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.

　　研究历史的最大益处在于打破这样的幻想：现代人和历史上的人有很大不同。

　　This statement actually insists of two claims. First, people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history is an illusion. Second, the primary of the study of history is to break down this illusion. As far as I am concerned, I concede that people live in different periods of time in history share some common ground, however, I disagree with both of the two claims.

　　1. Admittedly, from the human history, we know that the basic nature of human being has not changed ever: good and evil.

　　1) People in every period of time are thirsty for freedom, equality, democracy and the like. People maintain the merits of intelligence, diligence, creativity and so on.

　　2) However, we also share the demerits of prejudice, envy and greed. Innovation promotes development while greed leads to wars. Human race keep progressing of the civilization in this way.

　　2. On the other hand, the study of history is equally beneficial to understand and appreciate significant differences between peoples of different time periods.

　　1) In terms of cultural morals, customs, values, and ideals. Take Chinese feudal society as an example, during that time, all powers were in the hands of the emperor alone, who was assisted by a group of ministers led by the prime minister. Local governors were appointed by the central government. The common people had no democratic rights at all.

　　3. Besides, history has many other functions, which might be more significant than to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history.

　　1) For example, studying of the achievement of the past can give us inspiration. Studying the mistakes and failures of the past can prevent us from repeating those mistakes and failures again.

 

GRE Issue写作范文：历史研究延伸阅读——新托福写作一次通关技巧之无所不能辩

 

　　解决了上一个托福写作问题之后，学生仍然可能会有思绪梗阻的现象。这是极颇正常的。例如，在斗劲A和B的时辰，说了一段撑持A之后发现，意矣闽不雅概念。这个原则我叫做“口角正反说”，或者叫“有利原则”，即一切评价取决于评价者所站立场。

    再想不到撑持A的例子，也先不到否决B的例子，反而想到几个撑持A的例子，甚至是撑持B的例子。凡是如不美观有A+或者B-，文章的结构是斗劲直接浩撇的。但问题就是只有A-和B+的时辰。若何继续撑持A？

　　选择继续撑持A的原因有良多，可能因为前面基调已定无法改削，亦可能所有论点斗劲一下，没有任何一方有压服性优势，撑持A撑持B城市碰着上述问题，即直接可用的论点不足。亦可能是作者主不美观上就是想撑持A即便例子一下想不全。

其解决方案无非有二。其一是坦荡托福考生思绪。确保他们能想到足够多的分论点以供使用。这点可以经由过程万能理由，破题体例，段履睁开等等手段来达到。但我们仍需要年夜其它角度再供给备选方案。方案二就是，若何变废为宝，若何口角倒置。换言之，攻讦你能否不说你的错误谬误，而改为报复你的利益？撑持我是否可以不说我的利益，而转为回嘴我的劣势？这样理论上，无论你想到的论点是A+, A-,B+,B-, 我们都可以用它们来撑持肆。
