雖然考生們都很知道很多GMAT考試的作文模板，但是很多時候考生們並不知道該怎麼去用，今天，小編就來和大家說說作文模板的使用方法吧!
一、普通開頭
1. 第一句：背景知識——(詞彙句型和題目不一樣), 內容上可以和題目一樣的
2. 第二句：result
Ie：如果同意，那麼就說執行這東西的好處(或沒有這東西的壞處);如果不同意，就反之。
要求：表述要能體現直接的方向性
目的：讓讀者讀了以後能夠琢磨出“我的觀點的大致方向”
3. 第三句：我的觀點。(以下例子對的詞彙不建議用，思維可以：詞彙過於stiff和模板化)
這段話的關係是：
我先說一下我們要討論的issue是什麼，然後，我給你一個result，讓讀者產生一個具有方向性的預期，最後我的觀點和讀者的預期是相match 的，會讓讀者高興，且又闡明瞭自己的觀點(注意：“不同意Speaker所說”是一個反面的觀點，具有方向性，不是中立!)——就是這個感覺。
Eg1：範文——
題目：
"Clearly, government has a responsibility to support the arts. However, if that support is going to produce anything of value, government must place no restrictions on the art that is produced. "
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above?
開頭：
The speaker argues that government must support the arts but at the same time impose no control over what art is produced. The implicit rationale for government intervention in the arts is that, without it, cultural decline and erosion of our social fabric will result. However, I find no empirical evidence to support this argument, which in any event is unconvincing in light of more persuasive arguments that government should play no part in either supporting or restricting the arts.

"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "
我的開頭：
By success it merely notes that you can live your life whatever as you want and you choose. This life style may help a person realize find the thing of the highest good to him/her and thus lend him/her ultimate satisfaction at all. Therefore, I vitally support this kind definition of success.
二、以故事開頭
[NOTE]：故事最忌諱：晦澀、難懂、中立。
1.講一個story：要求——
1)三句以內寫完。
2)時間、地點、人物、事件儘量說實、說全、說細，讓讀者感覺不像是編的。
3)句式要求：詞彙和句子一定得好，否則不抓人。因爲你既然能以講故事的方式開頭，說明你對自己的寫作水平足夠自信(這是readers的預期)，如果一來全是簡單句，給人真實感覺卻你的寫作水平太差，與讀者之前的預期dismatch了!所以不好。
因此：可以是很長的複雜句、套了從句的'均可。
4)內容上：
A)如果水平較低(ie：不能讓人通過讀完整個故事就立刻看到明確的方向)：就一來首先扣題(如：bill gates是一個成功的IT精英，他用其獨特的觀看奧運會的方式向世人展示了其成功和與衆不同——開篇就告訴了這個eg的方向：且點出了“成功”與“自己的生活方式”的關係，這裏沒有留下gap。)
B)第二句開始：elaboration這個故事——越生動、形象、具體越好(體現在一些名詞實詞，比如列舉等)。
Eg：學生練習
"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "
範文思路：
Bill gates是一個成功的IT精英，他用其獨特的觀看奧運會的方式向世人展示了其成功和與衆不同。他在奧運村旁邊租了一個空中四合院，然後和妻子一起，看到了開幕式上五星紅旗的升起、奧運火炬的傳遞、跳水健兒奪冠、拳擊冠軍帶傷上場、奧運聖火的熄滅……
5)目的：通過這個故事讓讀者琢磨出這個觀點的大致方向來——
所以，一定要通過一些indicator體現“這個方向”：比如一些有感**彩的indicator(因爲IBT沒有假設readers是白癡，所以不要將GMAT的“絕對客觀”用過來，一些能反映“好壞正負”的描述或adj都是readers能體會的，但前提是我必須寫出來!不可以只列出現象!)
2. answer the question：同意還是不同意。
這句話的作用：match讀者讀了故事之後的預期，同時回答了問題——闡明瞭“我”的觀點!
Eg1:
Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”. It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,’ says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.
分析：
第一句話：交代了事情的梗概
後面讀完：elaboration清楚，能讓我讀出來觀點的方向很明確。所以第一句沒有用“扣題”的方式!
所以，“是否扣題”依自己的水平能力定!
Eg2：完整演示
"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "
範文思路：
Bill gates是一個成功的IT精英，他用其獨特的觀看奧運會的方式向世人展示了其成功和與衆不同。他在奧運村旁邊租了一個空中四合院，然後和妻子一起，看到了開幕式上五星紅旗的升起、奧運火炬的傳遞、跳水健兒奪冠、拳擊冠軍帶傷上場、奧運聖火的熄滅……
(注意)：說到這裏，只是把故事講完了，接下來應該回答兩個問題：
1)是成功的定義;
2)是成功的唯一定義(否則“only”如果沒有迴應我的答案可能受到攻擊)
最後兩句：
也許對於其他人而言，成功的體現還有不同的considerations，比如：金錢、社會地位、etc
但是對於我而言，這些都不及“按照自己的生活方式生活”重要，進而他們都不足以定義成功，所以，我支持“這是成功的唯一的定義方式”。

三、第三種是第二種的一種變式
1. 疑問句或反問句(推薦後者，語氣更強。比如：Doesn’t it…?)
2 講故事
3 觀點
注意：
2和3都一樣，加上1，目的是：讓讀者感覺到你的調皮、淘氣與可愛，讓文章不至於那麼死板，特別是對於已經比較boring的raters，這是一種從感情上拿分的方式!
Eg：請自己通過下面這段話找出issue是什麼
Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?
Issue：石油漲價是否會導致經濟衰退?
可見，這段話是方向清楚的。
Eg：學生練習——請分別用三種開頭方式寫一遍
"A powerful business leader has far more opportunity to influence the course of a community or a nation than does any government official. " Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above
(我的)：
第一種：很好
The author argues that a leader of great ability can affect the operation of a society or a country more widely and deeply. Suppose that in a society filled with this conception, the public will ignore the function and effect of government, then gov’s work will lose support and even be intervered , thus losing proper control of some bad things: free ride, speculation, etc, which cannot be malpulated by business org. Thus, I hold that it is equally important…
第二種：
J, a powerful leader of corp K——the chief client of the estate company P, had less effect on the control of P’s vicious violation of ethic rules: heavy speculation than the intervene of gov. In 1990, the boom of P, P took advantage of this prime period to induce miracle amount of foreign money to the US and at the same time it charged vitally higher price of its 3rd office building near the Los Angeles airport, thus spiring the anger of public. Facing this situation, k stopped its relationship with P to punish P, but this won’t have a mearable change on P’s action, while gov improved the tax on their every office building to be sold largely——ultimately, P has to put its price down to the average leve. Therefore, in my opion, gov has a more far-reaching impact on the operation of a community or a nation.
存在的問題：
1)第一句：沒有說政府的影響多的後果是什麼，就只能讓讀者讀出一個現象，但是讀不出方向。
我應該在我的文字中明確給出方向是什麼。Ie：
如果我支持“gov作用更重要”：就說“政府影響更大則有什麼好處”或“企業影響更大有什麼壞處”;
如果我支持“企業應該作用更大”：就反之。
而我目前的表述：只有“政府影響更大”，沒有“後果如何”，就是事實出來了，觀點沒有，所以不行!
【修改後】：第一句——
Gov has larger effect on the control of the bad speculation of corp J, an estate company, than J’s chief client K, an medical corp, thus preventing the flowing of work force and further decline of stock price of J.[LC1]
2)中間的elaboration太長太繞：讓人讀的煩、容易讀不懂，必須改得短且精煉一些。
第三種：
Doesn’t a powerful leader can really affect a course of a nation more widely than the government?
說明：
以上3種屬於高分的寫法，但不是隻侷限於這3個，有自己認爲好的也可以。
在進入II之前，有一點說一下：關於“核心概念”和“概念間關係”的界定——
(1) 原理：要對一個觀點發表我的評論(同意或不同意)，前提是知道這個觀點是什麼。而界定的目的就是“搞清楚題目什麼”的過程!
(2)怎麼處理：基於1)——
1) 如果題目本身很具體了(注意：具體≠簡單，只是說概念的含義精確了不會ambiguous了)：就不需要這步，因爲沒有必要，加上去是畫蛇添足，違背了“every word tells”。
比如：
A)"Clearly, government has a responsibility to support the arts. However, if that support is going to produce anything of value, government must place no restrictions on the art that is produced. "
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above?
B)是否同意“當今社會在網上找工作更好”
以上兩個就是很具象化的，不需要界定。
2) 題目中存在一些抽象詞、且關係不清楚，就需要先界定：在我看來，**是什麼意思。
比如：
A)"What education fails to teach us is to see the human community as one. Rather than focus on the unique differences that separate one nation from another, education should focus on the similarities among all people and places on Earth."
分析：對“共性”和“個性”應該界定一下
B)"There is only one definition of success-to be able to spend your life in your own way. "
分析：對“成功”界定一下。
Q：怎麼界定“成功”?因爲這題中已經在問“def”了啊?
