孙远的GMAT作文讲义
一、考试指南GMAT作文考两篇作文,一篇是一个是非问题分析(Analysis of an Issue); 另一篇作文
上海龙凤1314 shlf是一个逻辑问题分析(Analysis of an Argument)。两篇作文各考30分钟,加起来共一个
上海龙凤1314 shlf小时。简单地说,第一篇作文是立论,第二篇作文是驳论。
上海龙凤1314 shlf1. 逻辑问题分析例文
上海龙凤1314 shlfThe following appeared in a memorandum from the Director of Human Resources
to the executive officers of Company X.
上海龙凤1314 shlf“Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X
by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list
of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and
上海龙凤1314 shlfmanagement was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by
the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since
instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level
management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore,
it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement
most needed at the company has been made.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be
sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the
上海龙凤1314 shlfargument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable
assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative, explanations or
counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort
of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the
上海龙凤1314 shlfargument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would
上海龙凤1314 shlfhelp you better evaluate its conclusion.
2. 是非问题分析例文
上海龙凤1314 shlf“Employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as
separate as possible from the workplace.”
上海龙凤1314 shlfDiscuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated
above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own
experience, observations, or reading.

Case Study 1:
The following appeared as part of an article in a daily newspaper.
上海龙凤1314 shlf“The computerized onboard warning system that will be installed in
上海龙凤1314 shlfcommercial airliners will virtually solve the problem of midair plane
上海龙凤1314 shlfcollisions. One plane’s warning system can receive signals from another’s
上海龙凤1314 shlftransponder--a radio set that signals a plane’s course--in order to
determine the likelihood of a collision and recommend evasive action.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be
sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the
argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable
上海龙凤1314 shlfassumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative, explanations or
counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort
of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the
argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would
上海龙凤1314 shlfhelp you better evaluate its conclusion.
2分作文:
上海龙凤1314 shlfThis argument has no information about air collisions. I think most cases
happen is new airports because the air traffic is heavy. In this case sound
上海龙凤1314 shlfairport control could solve the problem.
上海龙凤1314 shlfI think this argument is logically reasonable. Its assumption is that plane
collisions are caused by planes that don’t know each others positions. So
上海龙凤1314 shlfpilots can do nothing, if they know each other’s position through the
上海龙凤1314 shlfsystem it will solve the problem. If it can provide evidence the problem is
上海龙凤1314 shlflack of knowledge of each other’s positions, it will be more sound and
persuasive.
上海龙凤1314 shlfMore information about air collisions is helpful, (the reason for air
collisions)

上海龙凤1314 shlfThe argument is not logically convincing. It does not state whether all
planes can receive signals from each other. It does not state whether
planes constantly receive signals. If they only receive signals once every
上海龙凤1314 shlfcertain time interval, collisions will not definitely be prevented. Further
上海龙凤1314 shlfif they receive a signal right before they are about to crash, they cannot
avoid each other.
The main flaw in the argument is that it assumes that the two planes, upon
receiving each other’s signals, will know which evasive action to take.
For example, the two planes could be going towards each other and then
receive the signals. If one turns at an angle to the left and the other
上海龙凤1314 shlfturns at an angle to the right, the two planes will still crash. Even if
they receive an updated signal, they will not have time, to avoid each
other.
The following argument would be more sound and persuasive. The new warning
system will solve the problem of midair plane collisions. Each plane will
receive constant, continual signals from each other. If the two planes are
headed in a direction where they will crash, the system will coordinate the
上海龙凤1314 shlfsignals and tell one plane to go one way, and the other plane to go another
上海龙凤1314 shlfway. The new system will ensure that the two planes will turn in different
directions so they don’t crash by trying to prevent the original crash. In
addition, the planes will be able to see themselves and the other on a
上海龙凤1314 shlfcomputer screen, to aid in the evasive action.
6分作文:
上海龙凤1314 shlfThe argument that this warning system will virtually solve the problem of
midair plane collisions omits some important concerns that be addressed to
substantiate the argument. The statement that follows the des cription of
what this warning system will do simply describes the system and how it
上海龙凤1314 shlfoperates. This alone does not constitute a logical argument in favor of the
warning system, and it certainly does not provide support or proof of the
main argument.
上海龙凤1314 shlfMost conspicuously, the argument does not address the cause of the problem
of air plane collisions, the use of the system by pilots and flight
上海龙凤1314 shlfspecialists, or who is involved in the midair plane collisions. First, the
argument assumes that the cause of the problem is that the planes’
courses, the likelihood of collisions, and actions to avoid collisions are
unknown or inaccurate. But if the cause of the problem of midair plane
collisions is that pilots are not paying attention to their computer
上海龙凤1314 shlfsystems or flight operations, the warning system will not solve the
上海龙凤1314 shlfcollision problem. Second, the argument never addresses the interface
between individuals and the system and how this will affect the warning
system’s objective of obliterating the problem of collisions. If the pilot
or flight specialist does not conform to what the warning system suggests,
air collisions will not be avoided. Finally, if planes other than
上海龙凤1314 shlfcommercial airliners are involved in the collisions, the problem of these
collisions cannot be solved by a warning system that will not be installed
on non-commercial airliners. The argument also does not address what would
happen in the event that the warning system collapsed, falls, or does not
work properly.
Because the argument leaves out several key issues, it is not sound or
上海龙凤1314 shlfpersuasive.
