先说考试的题，issue的确有两个，可以选一个，Argument只有一段文章。 [b][b]我的Issue是： [b]1. The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value [b]system, a standard, a set of ideas---- not to prepare them for a specific [b]job. [b]2. It is the artist, not the critic, who gives society sth. of lasting [b]value. (我选了第2题。) [b][b]Argument是 : [b]The following appeared in a memorandum from the general manager of KNOW [b]radio station. [b]“Several factors indicate that radio station KNOW should shift its [b]programming from rock-and-roll music to a continuous news format. Consider, [b]for example, the number of older people in our listening area has increased [b]dramatically, while the total number of our listeners has recently [b]declined. Also, music stores in our area report decreased sales of recorded [b]music. Finally, continuous news stations in neighboring cities have been [b]very successful, and a survey taken just before the recent election shows [b]that local citizens are interested in becoming better informed about [b]politics.” [b][b]关于准备，竹子觉得一定要熟悉题库，Argument不一定也不可能每篇都写，但一定要每篇都 [b]看过，分析过（至少找出两个错误来）。不然很有可能当时看不进去，浪费时间，如果碰到 [b]生字理解不了可能会慌。至于Issue题，不每个都看也行（因为2选1，概率上可以取巧），竹 [b]子把东方的模版和范文都背了，的确第2题是模版中的一篇（可惜那个模版好短，而且背的也 [b]不熟）。大家能背熟的尽量背熟，如果把东方现成的模版范文都牢记于心后还有时间可再把 [b]其他Issue题看一眼，至少要理解每一题的意思。若还有时间可以适当记一些事例。（这里竹 [b]子想提一点，对于快考的同学，新概念不要背，那是给时间多的人切切实实潜移默化提高写 [b]作水平用的。） [b][b]关于考场情况，这个对11月笔试的同学没什么用处，如果是和我一样考GRE Writing [b]Assessment的同学，那个和机考GRE是一样的，有6张稿纸，2支铅笔，一付耳塞。正式考试 [b]前有一段教你如何用鼠标等，不过当中没有休息。考完了也可以选4所学校送分。 [b][b]另：关于Argument的准备竹子还有一点自己的“心得”：准备模版很重要。所谓模版就是 [b]指，把可能出现的几种错误总结出来，考试时只要套即可。
