GRE写作部分将重点考察考生有针对性地对具体考题做出反应的能力，而非要求考生堆砌泛泛的文字。具体说来，这些重点关注的能力包括：1、 清楚有效地阐明复杂观点；2、 用贴切的事理和事例支撑观点；3、考察/验证他人论点及其相关论证；4、支撑一个有针对性的连贯的讨论；5、控制标准书面英语的各个要素。写作部分将联合考察逻辑推理和分析写作两种技能，并且将加大力度引进那些需要考生做出有针对性的回应的考题，降低考生依赖事前准备（如背诵）的材料的可能性。
In sum, the recommendation relies on certain doubtful assumptions that render it
unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the vice president must provide dear
evidence--perhaps by way of a local survey or study--that PlainesviUe residents who buy and
wear exercise apparel, and especially the health club's members, do in fact exercise regularly,
and that these exercisers are likely to buy health foods and health related products at a NW
store. To better assess the recommendation, I would need to know why Plainesville's health
club is nonular, and whv Plainesville does not contain more health clubs. I would also need to
know what competition NW might face in PlainesviUe.
Argument 2
The following appeared in a letter sent by a committee of homeowners from the Deerhaven
Acres to all homeowners in Deerhaven Acres.
"Seven years ago, homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions
on how the community's yards should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors of homes
should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. In order to
raise property values in Deerhaven Acres, we should adopt our own set of restrictions on
landscaping and housepainting."
In this letter a committee of Deerhaven Acres homeowners recommends that in order to
enhance Deerhaven property values homeowners should follow certain restrictions conceming
their homes' exterior appearance. To support this recommendation the committee points out
that in the seven years since Brookwille adopted similar restrictions property values there have
139
risen. This argument rests on a series of unsubstantiated assumptions, and is therefore
unpersuasive as it stands.
A threshold assumption upon which the recommendation relies is that BrookviUe home
owners implemented Brookville's restrictions in the first place. The letter fails to substantiate
this crucial assumption. If these restrictions were not implemented, then any change in
Brookville's property values cannot be attributed to them. Accordingly, the committee cannot
draw any firm conclusion about what effect similar restrictions would have on Deerhaven
property values.
Even assuming that BrookviUe homeowners implemented these restrictions, the committee
relies on the additional assumption that this course of action was responsible for the increase
in BrookwiUe property values. However, it is entirely possible that one or more other factors
were instead responsible for the increase, especially since a considerable period of time has
passed since Brookville adopted its restrictions. Property values are a function of supply and
demand. Perhaps the demand for housing in the area has increased due to an influx of major
employers. Or, perhaps the supply of housing has decreased. Either scenario would provide
an alternative explanation for the increase in property values.
Even assuming that BrookviUe's rising property values are attributable to the
implementation of these restrictions, the committee fails to consider possible differences
between BrookviUe and Deerhaven that might help to bring about a different result for Deer
haven. For instance, potential Deerhaven home-buyers might be less interested in a home's
exterior appearance than BrookviUe home-bwers. For that matter, perhaps Deerhaven
home-buyers would find consistent exterior appearance a distasteful feature in which case
adopting these restrictions might actually tend to decrease Deer-haven property values.
