GRE Issue写作思路逻辑链条举例

　　例题讲解

　　82.Colleges and universities should require their students to spend at least one semester studying in a foreign country.

　　托福考试中不在乎逻辑：用交朋友、新文化+语言学习，再来一个让步就可以。

　　但是从GRE的角度，上面的逻辑就有问题。去国外学习可以交朋友，那么是说在国内学习就交不到朋友吗?出国可以学习语言和文化，那么在国内就学习不到语言和文化吗?还有很多同学喜欢写让步，但这里是有误区的。我认为让步段落是可以写的，但是在论证过程中并没有什么营养，只是凑字数，完成一篇文章而已。

　　你之前以为的让步段落是这样的：

　　提问：你觉得要不要爬珠穆朗玛峰啊?

　　答：要!

　　理由一：锻炼身体(嗯，是的，挺好的。)

　　理由二：可以帮助我更好地交朋友(行吧，也许对你来说只有在户外的时候才能交到一些特别好的驴友。)

　　让步：我承认爬珠穆朗玛峰有很大的风险，可能会因此丧失生命，就算没有丧命，但也可能因此落下病根。(让步)但是对于前面所说的两个好处来说，我觉得爬珠穆朗玛峰依然值得。(谁信啊?)

　　用上面这个思路去写Issue，应该不会拿到太好的分数。说回刚才的题目，我们可以这样写。

　　首先有一个introduction，“我的观点是……”

　　INTRO：

　　It is argued in the statement that … ，有一定的benefits，but not a requirement!

　　Study overseas

　　1.personal development: academically vs professionally: 1. different countries = different cultures = Disparity in education concepts and systems = disparity in academic researches = students with new perspective + innovative¹ know-how² / knowledge; 2 professionally:global citizen = working & researching cooperate with people different cultural background = team work = cultural tolerance³ = immersion⁴ in the country = one good way = one semester in foreign countries.

　　NOT study overseas

　　1.problems = exposed to a new cultural / social environment: cultural tolerance vs cultural shock: on the one hand, culture shock frustrates⁵ students = not focusing too much on the studying but struggling with the cultural issues every day = loss of orientation⁶; on the other hand, exposure to so many new interesting and exotic events, not focusing on studying but going for fun for most of the time, even try drugs / violence and other things they might not think of in homeland.

　　2.University should require??? free will vs obligation = require = ignorance of the personal willingness = might not be interested = waste of time and effort, especially great financial burden for either the university or the students. IF Universities sponsor the oversea studies =students not getting the expected result = waste of limited resources; IF students self finance = expensive + the results not ensured. SO University create the system to ensure the possibility, provide relevant offerings but not set a requirement for the the students = unfair.

　　每个部分都有一个逻辑链条。
