这是我第三次考GMAT了。成绩不高,600-,就不多废话了。
AWA:
Analysis of an Issue
“Employees should keep their private lives and personal activities as separate as possible from the workplace.” Discuss 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.
这个是老机经了,而且我前几天练习的时候还专门练过,所以很轻松地写好了。字数我估计也就400左右吧,通常我就写这么多的。
Analysis of an Argument
The following appeared in the editorial section of a campus newspaper. “Because occupancy rates for campus housing fell during the last academic year, so did housing revenues. To solve the problem, campus housing officials should reduce the number of available housing units, thereby increasing the occupancy rates. Also, to keep students from choosing to live off-campus, housing officials should lower the rents, thereby increasing demand.” Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
文中提到的两个条件各可以批驳一下。
Quantitative
实在没什么好说的,我自己都做得急,哪有空去记这些题。参考别人的机经吧。
Verbal
Reading Comprehension
纸币与硬币。通过试验,证明人们相比下更喜欢同面值的纸币。
深海怪物。这篇我做得很急,内容没记多少。
美国从债权国变为债务国。有两种观点,一种认为这会让经济增长,另一种认为这不是个好兆头。然后提出两个image,前一个direct investment(好像是这个词,记不清了,反正是direct和indirect什么的,也有可能是direct credit),另一个是indirect investment。Direct investment投资人会享有部分所有权(?或是设有其他的)(后半句忘了)。但是,如果是从债权国变为债务国是经济增长的标志,美国应该是direct investment。而事实上,美国是indirect investment。第三段总结,两种观点都遗漏了一点:American corporations in creating global investment (or credit?) 。
到目前为止,想起来的就这么多了。
鉴于还没达到我的目标,我准备5月初再考一次。我还会每天访问CD的。有问题再和大家交流。
体会
阅读速度很重要。理解前提下的阅读速度很重要。一个字:练。
关于材料,OG上的所有东西都简单,所以,只能总结规律用,不能贴近实战。不管是新东方还是GWD,贴近实战的东西都好些。另外,PREP也管点用,很逼真的。
一句话:贴近实战,练。 |
