Task Direction:
You will have a choice between two Issue topics. Each topic will appear as a brief quotation that states or implies an issue of general interest. Read each topic carefully; then decide on which topic you could write a more effective and well-reasoned response.
You will have 45 minutes to plan and compose a response that presents your perspective on the topic you select. A response on any other topic will receive a zero. You are free to accept, reject, or qualify the claim made in the topic you selected, as long as the ideas you present are clearly relevant to the topic. Support your views with reasons and examples drawn from such areas as your reading, experience, observations, or academic studies.
GRE readers who are college and university faculty will read your response and evaluate its overall quality, based on how well you do the following
consider the complexities and implications of the issue
organize, develop, and express your ideas on the issue
support your ideas with relevant reasons and examples
control the elements of standard written English.
You may want to take a few minutes to think about the issue and to plan a response before you begin writing. Be sure to develop your ideas fully and organize them coherently, but leave time to reread what you have written and make any revisions that you think are necessary.
Section Direction:
Present your perspective on the issue below, using relevant reasons and/or examples to support your views.
Question: "It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public."
词汇重复过多
Based on the previous research and the interview, some junior students said that they had difficulty in applying English grammar regularities to items and compositions, for example, “They are from different city.” Obviously, these students found it was confused to use a plural form with -s. And there was another example,” I lent 10 yuans to Lisa.” “Yuan” was a Chinese word, so it did not have plural forms. Yet, these students placed “s” after it. However, some students said that “dollar” was also a monetary unit and it could be used as “dollars”. Why not “yuan”? Similarly, junior students would be confused when words stood for the same meanings. For example, “Cindy gave me some advices in learning math.” some junior students in the interview said they knew “suggestion” was a countable noun as well as “advice”. It was clear that some junior students lacked knowledge of target language. Therefore, students committed such errors because of false analogy.
