很多美国名校的文科类研究生专业对GRE写作单项得分都有较高要求，这让许多写不好GRE作文又想申请文科的中国考生觉得很为难。下面小编就和大家分享GRE作文之错误写作思路，来欣赏一下吧。
论述流于表面不够深入
中国考生经历了中考高考等考试，习惯了八股文式的作文写作方式，容易泛泛而谈，常缺少对题目本身的复杂性理解。大家在审题时往往容易流于表面，只根据材料给出的内容做一些浅显表层的论述，而很少发现题目的本质并从更深层次展开讨论。想要取得作文高分，考生就应注意作文题目的隐含意义，避开简单的非对即错的思想，对题目进行辩证地分析与思考，从多维度进行解读，从而写出更有深度的文章。
老掉牙的案例还在用
不少同学在GRE写作中阐述一个观点时，缺乏充分的、确切的例证，用来用去都是一些家喻户晓、乏善可陈的例子，例如最典型的比尔盖茨和爱迪生，而有些同学甚至会出现例子本身和观点关联甚微，牵强附会的情况，这样的作文自然会让考官看起来味同爵蜡，不知所云，分数被扣在所难免。其实这个问题与考生的知识面狭窄、视野不够开阔、思维不够跳跃等等都有很大的关系。小编建议大家平时要多注意对写作素材的积累，比如看每日经济学人，扩大自己的知识面。
考生平时缺少打字练习或者思维活动太慢，导致写作速度一直提不上去，首先表现在字数不够上，其次字数不够也直接导致了内容的不充分，自己的思想无法完全展开。GRE写作一般分为5段，开头结尾及中间3段，一篇好的GRE作文一般字数在450-600字，字数多虽然不能说一定是篇佳作，但最起码会让你的内容略显丰富。
中国古时形容一篇佳作通常用凤头豹尾，形容其精彩，GRE作文高分的关键也切不可忽视开头和结尾，在时间匆忙的情况下，这两段直接影响了考官对你的第一印象，第一段点明自己的观点和立场，结尾总结，全篇结构完整，条理清晰，再加之充分的例证，是获得高分的关键。开头如果无法吸引考官，结尾又写得草草了事，这样的文章想必很难给人留下好印象。
Most people often look for similarities, even between very different things, and even when it it is unhelpful or harmful to do so. Instead, a thing should be considered on its own terms: we should avoid the tendency to compare it to something else.
人们总是在寻找相同点，即使是在非常不同的事物间也不例外，甚至有时候这样做是无用乃至有害的。实际上，我们应该具体问题具体分析;我们应该尽量避免比较的倾向。
GRE写作正文：
In the age of accelerating changes, the eagerness to understand things in an effective and equally efficient way is more than ever. Although all kinds of complex techniques, skills and equipments helpful for understanding and studying the objects are easily accessible to people, the basic strategies stay the same as before: one is starting from similarities and the other from distinction. From my personal point of view, only by using the two in proper proportion and order can one achieve his/her goal to understand a thing.
Looking for similarities is a proper starting point. When we first meet something new,we need to clarify its basic attributes, finding similarites with other familiar things and classify it according to those attributes. Classification according to similaties is of great assistance to provide us with an outline, basic knowledge which we can base further investigation upon. Although things in contemporary age represent themselves in various forms and styles, similarities exist in any pair as long as certain perspective can be found. For instance, Bookcase and window are so different that at first glance, one
may not be able to find the similarities, or even such an effort seems to be meaningless. Yet, they are both part of a house, something that must be taken into consideration when decorating or refurnishing the house. Such a comparison would be helpful for us to realize that “buy” and “sell” are two basic operation we can have upon window even though we have no idea what window is made of, how it is produced or what its function is.What’s more, looking for similarities not only refer to the object itself, but the relationship with others. Similar relationships helps people understand things in groups or pairs using the strategy: analogy. Analogy is especially useful when the charactertistics of a relationship rather than the objects themselves are the focus of understanding and when similar relationships are known and objects unknown. For example, if told that the relationship between window and ASVE is similar to that between book and read, one can safely guess that ASVE is the operation people can take on window although ASVE stays an unknown action.
Definitely, mere similarity usually exclude the distinctive characteristics of a thing. We need to investigate its own terms for deeper understanding. Within the rough outline sketched by similarity, a more detailed and well-articulated picture can be drawn by grasping own terms of a thing. Still take window as an example. From careful observation, we know that it is transparent, it consists of different chemical materials, it performs the function as to protect privacy, to preserve desirable temperature indoor, and sometimes to prevent rains and snows from going inside. Deeper and further understanding of window can only be gained when we take its own terms besides those it shares with bookcase into consideration.
In the newly development software engineering model named Object-oriented model,the strategy “similarity first and differences later” functions as the core and focus of the whole model. Objects sharing common points are put into same “classes” and common points are processed together, later they are defined, discussed and processed respectively according to their own characteristics. This method greatly reduces the repetive time and energy spent over and over again on similar, if not utterly same, terms. Translated into daily life, starting from similarites for a quick outline and transferring to grasp distinctive characteristics for deeper understanding isthe approach we should always bear in mind when hoping to understand a thing with effectiveness and efficiency.
Laws should not be stationary and fixed. Instead, they should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances, times, and places.
法律不应该是僵化或固定的，而应该根据不同的环境、时期和地点而足够灵活。
Should laws be stable and fixed or be flexible in taking consideration of various factors such as circumstances, times and places? The speaker concludes that instead of being stationary, laws should be constantly changing. The speaker’s claim have merits in declaring that law should be flexible enough to take account of various circumstances since adaptation to changing social environment is how the law properly guard the function of social engine and the general welfare of people as a whole. But to some extent, we would not go too much in neglecting to importance of the stability of laws because they are the principles we adhere to in our daily life, if changed too abruptly and constantly, will result in egregious chaos and confusion.
Keeping stability, consistency of laws is indispensable in helping people to make prediction of the consequence of their behaviors and figure out the legal obligation and rights exerted upon them by the legal system. In the personal level, consistency of laws defines the properness and legality of their doings and thus endows people with sense of security and good citizenship. If as the speaker claimed that laws should never be stationary or fixed, people face the threat of being constantly threw into turbid mud of bewilderment and insecurity and finally lose their sight in how to adapt to sudden alternation of in this aspect or another.
Another example that aptly illustrates this is in the field of business. As we know, the ultimate goal of a business is to maximize its profit of shareholders within the framework of laws to define that a enterprises function within this framework, obey its obligation and hamper no interest of the general welfare of the society. In order for a enterprises to thrive, it must carefully study the relevant business laws, including anti-dumping law and torts, etc.Given the choice, most leaders are unwilling to see the prospect that laws are constantly changing since it takes time and effort to build a well-defined frames within companies and overthrow established practice and code would demand another round of revising and reevaluation....
