　The following appeared as part of an article in the business section of a local newspaper.

　　“Motorcycle X has been manufactured in the United States for over 70 years. Although one foreign company has copied the motorcycle and is selling it for less, the company has failed to attract motorcycle X customers—some say because its product lacks the exceptionally loud noise made by motorcycle X. But there must be some other explanation. After all, foreign cars tend to be quieter than similar American-made cars, but they sell at least as well. Also, television advertisements for motorcycle X highlight its durability and sleek lines, not its noisiness, and the ads typically have voice-overs or rock music rather than engine-roar on the sound track.”

　　Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

　　The author rejects the claim that the loud engine noise of American-made Motorcycle X appeals to the manufacturer’s customers and explains why they are not attracted to quieter, foreign-made imitations. The author’s rejection is based on two reasons. First, the author points out that foreign cars tend to be quieter than similar American-made cars, yet they sell just as well. Secondly, the author claims that ads for Motorcycle X do not emphasize its engine noise; instead, the ads highlight its durability and sleek lines, and employ voice-overs of rock music rather than engine roar. In my view, these reasons do not establish that the quieter engines of the foreign imitations fail to account for their lack of appeal.

　　To begin with, the first reason rests on the assumption that what automobile customers find appealing is analogous to what motorcycle customers find appealing. This assumption is weak, since although there are points of comparison between automobiles and motorcycles, there are many dissimilarities as well. For example, headroom, smooth ride, and quiet engines are usually desirable qualities in a car. However, headroom is not a consideration for motorcycle customers; and many motorcycle riders specifically want an exciting, challenging ride, not a smooth one. The same may be true of engine noise; it is possible that motorcyclists like what loud engine noise adds to the experience of motorcycle riding.

　　The author’s second reason is also problematic. Although the engine noise of Motorcycle X is not explicitly touted in advertisements, it does not necessarily follow that engine noise is not an important selling feature. Because Motorcycle X has been manufactured in the U.S. for over 70 years, its reputation for engine noise is probably already well known and need not be advertised. Moreover, the advertisers might use rock music on Motorcycle X ad soundtracks for the specific purpose of suggesting, or even simulating, its loud engine noise.

　　In conclusion, this author has not provided convincing reasons for rejecting the claim that quieter engines make foreign-made motorcycles less popular. The author’s analogy involving foreign car sales is weak, and the claim about Motorcycle X advertisements misses the purpose of including rock music in the ads.

 

GMAT写作范文精选的延伸阅读——GMAT考试应考技巧

 

　　关于怎样提高GMAT整体实力的文章已经很多了，本人在这里提及的仅仅是 机考本身的技巧，如果运用得当，应该会多出原来数十分到上百分!

　　1、Math和verbal部分各有11道(个别情况下是10道)测试题，不计分。

　　2、Math中难题一般不会是测试题，所以一定要做出来。

　　3、所谓verbal部分前十题做得好能得一个较高分的实质是：前十题不但 确定了整套题目的难度，更主要的是前十题没有测试题!相反，20题以后 测试题明显增多，尤其是25——41题之间(尤其是那些比较简单的)。测 试题主要出在语法和逻辑上，阅读最可能是测试题的是第三篇(整篇题全 是!)，个别情况下是第4篇，前两篇绝对不可能是!

　　4、几个关键分数的数据： verbal：26(40%的正确率，即非测试题*40%)，这是上650的关键。 verbal：32或33(75%的正确率，即非测试题*75%)，这是上700的关键。 每个题(无论难题和容易题)之间其实权重相差并不大，做对非测试题的 个数仍然是关键。

　　5、应试对策： 前10题用25分钟，10—20题用20分钟来保证其正确性一点都不浪费。 20题以后会做的尽量做对，绕的题随便选。 坊间曾流传的连错会扣分厉害，其实不然，因为中间夹着测试题，但 前10题连错，那一般很惨，因为一道测试题都没有。
