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:

Some interviewees said that it was difficult to remember all English rules, so there was no doubt that they would apply these regulars wrongly. Richards(1974) said there was a deviant behavior in learning target language for beginners. Owing to this, junior students often commit such errors when they could not clearly understand how to apply English grammar. Let’s see an example: He gave me some advices. It could be see from this sentence that “s” was placed after “advice”. Just as some interviewee said before that they did not have a clear mind to apply English grammar regularities into items and compositions. In other words, these students did not master what they had learned before very well . Sometimes the intra-lingual factor could be called developmental factor, because they were caused by the poor knowledge about target language. Yet, developmental factors had another element which was assumption. When these chosen students could not know how to do items, they would guess the answer based on what they had knew or developed habits. However, the answer was definitely wrong because their guess was not firmly approved. For example,“ I want some foods” According to these students’ guessing,“ food ” was a plural concept, so it was to add “s”. Errors of type A, B belonged to these part. For example,“ He gives me an advice.” Obviously, some junior students thought a piece of advice could be expressed so simply. Because of lack of professional knowledge, then these junior students would guess.
