編輯點評： 本文針對GRE作文考試復習的入門和提高，為大家做一些指導。相信大家一步一步來，只要堅持下去，一定可以在GRE作文上有所提高。

　　這個原則是就思想內容本身而提出的，主要就ISSUE而言。之所以如此，是因為現在的題庫中有太多顯而易見的明顯帶有 常識偏見性 的話題，比如下面我們要舉例說明的這一題：

　　33. Creating an appealing image has BECome more important in contemporary society than is the reality or truth behind that image.

　　我想大部分考生在現場一定會不約而同地對這道題說 DISAGREE ，因為傳統的教育和是非觀很容易讓我們接受這樣的一個觀點 人不可貌像，海水不可斗量 。這樣，ETS膽敢認為 表面的虛浮外表比實質的東西重要 ，充分暴露了它資本主義沒落腐朽的罪惡本質和虛偽貪婪的丑惡嘴臉，于是打筆一揮，打他個鼻青臉腫再說。不可否認，這個話題寫 否定 符合正常價值觀和正常思維，比較容易找到地方下手，但是平常我們在訓練準備作文時，應該在遇到這類 難于從反面論證 的題目盡量擯棄這種正常思維，而鍛煉自己的 創新思維 ，即敢于對自己的 陳規思維 說 不 !大家可以發現，ETS找來的每道話題都是經過嚴格的篩選和試驗的，以保證其客觀性和公正性，從而無論你對該話題持什么態度，都不會影響你在現實中的表現，從而每個觀點闡述就是一種思維邏輯的 游戲 ，ETS不是要看你的思想觀點到底出不出格，而是看你將任何一個你所持有的觀點論證的天衣無縫。因為在ISSUE中，你完全可以將一個漏洞百出的話題包裝成真理，同樣也可將真理辯駁成天大的謬誤，這沒有關系，對于一個特別注重 新思維 開發的美國人來說，創新思維無疑是他們最鐘愛的東西，這也就是高分作文的一個捷徑 求新求異!我始終相信，只要肯往這方面想，思維的馬達很容易就開動起來，通過不斷練習，你真的會發現你的一手 銅齒鐵牙 已經足以讓你在GRE作文的考場上稱雄稱霸， 滿分 是意料中的事。下面我提供兩篇范文，第一篇是正常思維論辯，第二篇則是從AGREE的角度來論證，讀者可以從中參詳一二。

　　As a prevalent proverb saying the mentality for pulchritude is applicable to any one , from the time of primitive age, people have started to pick up some natural raw materials, most of which have chromatic colors or exotic configurations, to embellish their simple furniture, hunting tools, also the clothes people dress themselves, so on and so forth. The tradition has been handed down until today, but great difference has been appeared to the major use of decoration for appealing image, instead of the mainstream for beauty, it now turns to the recommendation to any other else under the circumstance of covering the real face behind the image, which is actually important than the former creativity.

　　It is not unfathomable that the ballooning civilization incites the residents of our community to behavior more and more graceful and decorous, which if reflects onto the side of ordinary life the appearance of a person together with his ornamentation is the predominant embodiment. To show respect to your friends the moment to display your polished civility, you should dress neatly, and prepare an elaborated wrapped gift to realize the goal mentioned above, thus taking the use of the creation of an appealing image. And the importance in personal relationship and communication is too ponderous to be neglected.

　　However, when we put so much attention on the process of constructing an attractive image, do we ever think about what takes major effect is just the object itself rather than the elaborated appearance? Take the merchandise for instance, the more dazzling the image is, the more the price it is, the difference between a wrapped one and an original one is paid on these seemly futile except for some silly placation individually. Everything should have a deserved value, which is regarded as the fundamental principle of the market operation, tells us that the price should as near as possible to adhere to the real value of the commodity consumers really intend to have instead of the illicit extortion by adopting some alluring tricks such as these meretricious skins. Hence, from the perspective of vast consumers, who care most is the actual quality of the things they want to purchase, the creation of appealing image aggravates the benefits belong to customers, meanwhile gives a disguising shield to help some profiteers to snatch extra bonus originally not merited.

　　Besides for these side effects it can produce, when applied to the mask of human nature, what is more important directly determines the destiny of humanistic mentality. A charismatic man only can rely on his wisdom and disposition to appeal others, in that any material things all cannot stand the erosion of time elapsing, while the intrinsic spirit cannot extinguish with the ascendance of ages, only altered with human s own intellectual quality. From the skit of Hypocritical gentleman we clearly learns that even if how perfect a man dissembles himself and how much approbation he at first win over from the public, ultimately falsehood will be penetrated and he still can go back nowhere but the initiative himself. Thereby, the lasting attractiveness stems from the unique face veiled under the cover of the superficial mask.

　　Overall, despite the beautiful appearance always can gamble the first-eyed excellent impression, either for things or for humans, no better ideas to be taken than to consider more about the decorum and quality of itself, only through this can we make out the real value needed for enamor and evaluation, which teaches us the virtue of sticking to truth, the most important things for ever.

　　I support enthusiastically the idea that in contemporary society creating an appealing image is much more important than the reality or truth behind it. What I stick to this preference for is based on large amount of personal experiences and reported statistics.

　　From the childhood we are encouraged to study industriously as to find a well-paid occupation, and to attain this hankering, endless sweats and bloods have been exhausted from our revere parents. When the day finally comes for graduation, we really have been ready to welcome a new life. But, do you ever think of this question, Are you actually shape yourself as what you intend to be during the long-range learning life? Obviously, until your first earned single penny arriving at your hands nothing can be illustrated. Similarly, an elaborate product equipped with most advanced technology after tens of years research, could be approbated by public, no words might be more convincing if it is enabled to be successfully pushed to the top sales in the commercial market.

　　Then, the problem is be disinterred from the surface of reality, what is functioning as the major role in the sale , either the commodity is yourself or some product . A recent survey reported on an official journal reveals that this year almost 50% of the graduates cannot find favorable job, among which more than half of them even have relatively wonderful resume and education background. How can they fail to sell themselves out at an ideal price? In the process of survey, the surveyor also surprisingly found that many famous companies would rather like to pick up the interviewers whose image is fashionable and characteristic than those who are deprived of this disposition, in spite of their diplomas are much brilliant than the former ones. The survey does evoke my deepest thoughts in my mind.

　　Why those companies who are famous for their practical strategies have established such standards to choose their recruits? Well, finally, according to my field research, the answer is too obvious to believe. In the employing market, what you can do is to display yourself like a piece of artwork and then wait for your connoisseur. Then how can you expect your ideal employer will exclaim to you, I ll take this!, absolutely! ? Instead of examining your practical capability to fit in the particular work of his apartment, which in fact is not qualified to the real conditions at that moment, he merely justifies your ability through the image appeared in front of him, as the principles tightly held for him that an appealing image is a crucial reflection of the actual substance. Till now, you can easily distinguish the importance of the image, and the reality or truth, before being uncovered under the sun, leave it where it is; it s his destiny. As to the commodity, more facile understanding can be digested in that a taking skin outside the material body is a good propaganda and appealing incentive to lure people s desire for acquisition.

　　Hence, it is for quite a simple reason that such appealing image has been becoming more and more momentous: without it, no matter how perfect the reality or truth behind it, no opportunity can they be rendered as their real value escaping the tragedy criticized as zero, just as the end of the survey report saying, many interviewers sadly curses themselves with tears to prefer to never have it.

　　總結：新思想的形成的確需要不斷的積累和思考，并非 一朝一夕之功 ，但是對于實現GRE作文之 思維爭辯 目的是極其有益的，正是由于這個原因，筆者希望考生能夠在準備階段按下列三個步驟仔細思考一下 創新思維 的養成：

　　說別人之所遺漏，即別人未點到的方面，你可以用順承的方法繼續下去，挖掘出全新的立意。

　　言別人之所未言，即別人已對該話題的方方面面已有涉及，但是可以有全新的語言和視角來重新表達。
