2016年11月6日GRE寫作真題回憶
　　Issue45. Competition for high grades seriously limits the quality of learning at all levels of education.
　　Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
　　備考建議：分析題目，寫出英文框架：開頭、正文所有段落的主題句。開頭要形成固定模式。
　　參考分析(來自萬煒老師)：
　　壞處：競爭帶來心理壓力+影響同學關系+偏離教育目的(孩子成為考試機器)+對于低年級學生的興趣及信心的打擊
　　好處：提供學習的動力，而且在一定程度上，合理的grades設置能夠反映出學生的學習能力(class participation, presentation, exams, homework…)
　　社會畢竟需要評判機制，公正性(高年級需要這樣的標準)
　　argument56. The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of marketing at Dura-Sock, Inc.
　　"A recent study of our customers suggests that our company is wasting the money it spends on its patented Endure manufacturing process, which ensures that our socks are strong enough to last for two years. We have always advertised our use of the Endure process, but the new study shows that despite our socks' durability, our average customer actually purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Furthermore, our customers surveyed in our largest market, northeastern United States cities, say that they most value Dura-Socks' stylish appearance and availability in many colors. These findings suggest that we can increase our profits by discontinuing use of the Endure manufacturing process."
　　Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
　　備考建議：平時畫邏輯鏈時，可以每看到作者提供一些條件或例子時就思考他得到的直接的結論(通常不會明說)以及暗含假設。建議把邏輯錯誤寫成環(huán)環(huán)相扣，不要看到一條邏輯錯誤寫一條，會顯得很散。
　　參考分析：
　　步驟：消費者每三個月買一雙 → 不管耐不耐久人們都會買
　　假設：短期更換襪子就說明不在意耐久
　　反例：喜歡耐久才買新的，買來送親朋好友
　　證據(jù)：……
　　步驟：東北部的調查 → 人們不在意耐久，在意的是顏色和樣式
　　假設：調查有代表性
　　反例：是在商場調查的，基本都是女孩子在購物，普遍比較在意款式，但是真正穿襪子的人可能非常在意耐久。
　　證據(jù)：調查對象
　　步驟：東北部的人不在意耐久 → 全國都不在意耐久
　　假設：全國各地的人傾向一致
　　反例：東北部的人比較潮，更在意外表;但是其它地方，西部大農場的人就在意實用
