良心干货助你AWA满分.

　　GMAT作文相对于数学和语文来说，重要性并不是最大的。但是这并不表示商科院校就不会参考作文分数了，因为一个成功的商科学生应该能够：快速分析问题并流畅地表达出自己的观点！这也正是GMAT作文考察的一个重要方面。

　　但是毕竟考场上时间有限，而需要思考和分析的地方有很多，整场考试下来脑子难免不够用，这时候就需要有一些技巧性的应对措施，既保证了答题的质量，又保证了脑子的清醒程度。

　　总结了一下，GMAT作文备考要注意以下几点：

　　1. 打字速度非常重要

　　作文只有30分钟时间，期间需要完成“读材料-分析材料-构想反驳思路-输入作文”这四大步骤，卤煮的节奏一般是“5分钟完成前三个步骤-20分钟打完全文-5分钟检查拼写和用词”，每次都能基本完成作文，结构为“开头+反驳**+反驳**+结尾”。如果思路上没问题，那么你需要练习的就只有打字速度了。英文打字和中文打字有相当大的差别，建议在平时练习时用老式键盘打(和考场情况匹配)，多练几篇(甚至可以不想思路，照着范文纯练打字)，速度一般都能上去。练速度的过程可以在考前一个月就开始，觉得差不多了就不用练了。

　　2. 形成自己的作文模板

　　毕竟我们是在考试，高压之下紧张是难免的，为了以防考试的时候紧张得写不出话来，你最好脑子里先备一些模板。例如开头，结尾，和每段的开头和结尾。但是问题就来了，你一定会想“既然是准备好的模板，我就照着NN的模板来背吧，肯定能得高分!”这样想就大错了，想想GMAC每天能看到多少作文，又有多少作文是照着模板写的?而NN的模板就只有那么多篇，大家都用烂了的模板你在用，分数能高吗?所以最好的解决方法是参考NN模板的同时自己总结一些句子，糅杂了自己的句子和NN句子的模板才是好模板。

　　3. 掌握七宗罪

　　俗话说，“万变不离其宗”，无论作文再怎么变化，材料再怎么丰富，也逃不出“七宗罪”的掌心。七宗罪的诞生可谓是AWA作文界的一大宝藏，经过无数NN的整理和修正，现在的七宗罪已经非常完善了，涵盖了GMAT作文的几乎所有思路，屡试不爽。除了打字速度，GMAT作文的另一个重要方面就是思路，也是你在考前应该完全掌握的东西。那么献上七宗罪～

　　第一宗罪：无因果联系

　　The author commits a fallacy of causal oversimplification. The line of the reasoning is that because A occurred bore B, the former event is responsible for the latter. (The author uses the positive correlation between A and B to establish causality. However, the fact that A coincides with B does not necessarily prove that A caused B.) But this is fallacious reasoning unless other possible causal explanations have been considered and ruled out. For example, perhaps C is the cause of these events or perhaps B is caused by D.

　　第二宗罪：Insufficient-sample

　　The evidence the author provides is insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it. One example is logically unsounded to establish a general conclusion (The statistics from only a few recent years are not necessarily a good indicator of future trends), unless it can be shown that A1 is representative of all A. It is possible that.... In fact, in face of such limited evidence, the conclusion that B is completely unwarranted.

　　第三宗罪: 错误类比 (based on a false analogy )<横向>

　　The argument rests on the assumption that A is analogous to B in all respects. This assumption is weak, since although there are points of comparison between A and B, there is much dissimilarity as well. For example, A..., however, B.... Thus, it is likely much more difficult for B to do....

　　第四宗罪：all things are equal<纵向>

　　The author commits the fallacy of “all things are equal”. The fact that happened two years ago is not a sound evidence to draw a conclusion that.... The author assumes without justification that the background conditions have remained the same at different times or at different locations. However, it is not clear in this argument whether the current conditions at AA are the same as they used to be two years ago. Thus it is impossible to conclude that....

　　第五宗罪：Either-Or choice

　　The author assumes that AA and BB are mutually exclusive alternatives and there is no room for a middle ground. However, the author provides no reason for imposing an either-or choice. Common sense tells us that adjusting both AA and BB might produce better results.

　　第六宗罪：survey is doubtful

　　The poll cited by the author is too vague to be informative. The claim does not indicate who conducted the poll, who responded, or when, where and how the poll was conducted. (Lacking information about the number of people surveyed and the number of respondents, it is impossible to access the validity of the results. For example, if 200 persons were surveyed but only 2 responded, the conclusion that...would be highly suspect. Because the argument offers no evidence that would rule out this kind of interpretations,) Until these questions are answered, the results of the survey are worthless as evidence for the conclusion.

　　第七宗罪 gratuitous assumption

　　The author falsely depends on gratuitous assumption that.... However, no evidence is stated in the argument to support this assumption. In fact, this is not necessarily the case. For example, it is more likely that.... Therore, this argument is unwarranted without ruling out such possibility

　　4. 端正作文的心态

　　AWA作文是GMAT考试的第一考，无论考得怎么样，后面都要面对IR，数学，语文三座大山，所以写完作文请务必清空所有关于作文的记忆(千万别这个时候想着记机经造福广大G友，那是考完之后的事!)，一门心思准备接下来的考试。作文再怎么差，分数也不是当场就出来，先把另外三个搞定了再想作文的事儿去。

　　衷心祝各位都能750+!
