写作焦虑(Writing Anxiety)
在没有看下文前,本人先说说自己的Anxiety,主要是在GRE作文ISSUE的写作中,对题目有一定的恐惧感。可能这些Anxieties也困绕着很多考生。
第一,不一定能揪出正确的关键字。
比如,"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history." 正确的关键字决定了写作是否会跑题。
第二,即使揪出合适的关键字,在第一反应期内也不一定有话可说。
比如,"How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society." 对于理工科的考生来说,平常的教学中忽视此类文科性知识是比较常见的。现在突然拿到”socialization” “better society“以及”education”,经常会出现大脑断电或短路,接下来的写作又从何说起?!
简而言之,担心自己对一问题会有看法,但不知道怎么去论证这一看法,更不要说让我们的论证persuasive, insightful.
