gre考试写作备考误区须知
gical Writing Measure tests your critical thinking and analytical writing skills. It assesses your ability to articulate and support complex ideas, construct and evaluate arguments, and sustain a focused and coherent discussion. It does not assess specific content knowledge.
The tasks in the Analytical Writing measure relate to a broad range of subjects — from the fine arts and humanities to the social and physical sciences — but no task requires knowledge of specific content. In fact, each task has been tested by actual GRE® test takers to ensure that it possesses several important characteristics, including the following:
● GRE test takers, regardless of their field of study or special interests, understood the task and could easily respond to it.
● The task elicited the kinds of complex thinking and persuasive writing that university faculty consider important for success in graduate school.
● The responses were varied in content and in the way the writers developed their ideas.”
上述的官方陈述中，我们可以看出以下几点：
1)不考察专业背景。ETS明确指出：“It does not assess specific content knowledge.”“No task requires knowledge of specific content.”既然如此，素材是否足够专业，对考分是没有影响的。也就是说，专业性强的素材不一定能够为考试加分。而普通素材也不一定让考试减分。所以，我个人觉得，我们要彻底摒弃issue素材准备过程中对知识背景的过分依赖。

以ETS所给出的官方范文为例，ETS在官方网站和官方指南上都给出了题库第一题的从1分到6分的官方范文。其中那篇6分的官方范文，我们通过剖析不难发现。全文所用的11个例证没有一个是学术性专业性很强的例子。相反，作者所举的例子都是很普通的、平时生活中非常常见的例子。以下段落摘自该文的第一段[注1]：
