GRE写作中的ARGUMENT作文开头如何写好是许多同学关注的问题之一。之所以受到关注是因为ARGMENT的文章题材属于议论文中的驳论文，而这种文章大多数考生都涉猎较少，不仅没写过英文的，可能连中文的驳论文都没怎么接触过。因而大家往往从开头段的写法就存在问题。为了帮助大家提升写作水平写好GRE作文ARGUMENT的开头段，下面小编就结合GRE官方ARGUMENT范文为大家做详细介绍。

GRE写作ARGUMENT开头段写法介绍

GRE写作ARGUMENT作为驳论文，其写作特点是不需要考生本身提出某个观点，考生需要做的只是从给出的题目素材中寻找漏洞逐一反驳，这就给习惯了写立论文开头先写观点的考生带来一些写作思路上的挑战。其实ARGUMENT开头段除去抛出观点外在写法上和其它议论文是基本一致的，以下就是比较好的写法：

1. 首句开门见山指出文章逻辑错误

可以先通过一个小小的让步，指出文章的论证有其道理(这里可以高度概括一下文章逻辑论证思路和方法by comparison …

with…)relatively/appear to/seem to/well presented/after all(注意这里不要summery the

argument,要immediately engage the argument!)，然后笔锋一转however/while指出文章逻辑是有问题的。

2. 简单概括文章的逻辑错误，用高度凝练的语言提示下文论证思路

这里又分为好几种方法：

a. 用first/in addition/also等清晰地列出文章逻辑错误和下文反驳要点。

b. 指出施行题目中建议的后果。

c. 只提示下一段的论证，承接下一段(不推荐)。

d. 用列举他因的方式提示下文论证要点。

以官方范文为例

Argument test 1: Speed Limits in Forestville.

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

“Six months ago the region of Forestville increased the speed limit for

vehicles traveling on the region's highways by ten miles per hour. Since that

change took effect, the number of automobile accidents in that region has

increased by 15 percent. But the speed limit in Elmsford, a region neighboring

Forestville, remained unchanged, and automobile accidents declined slightly

during the same six-month period. Therefore, if the citizens of Forestville want

to reduce the number of automobile accidents on the region's highways, they

should campaign to reduce Forestville's speed limit to what it was before the

increase.”

Models from Practice Book

6分：

The agrument is well-presented, but not thoroughly well-reasoned. By making a

comparison of the region of Forestville, the town with the higher speed limit

and therefore automobile accidents, with the region of Elmsford, an area of a

lower speed limit and subsequently fewer accidents, the argument for reducing

Forestville's speed limits in order to decrease accidents seems logical.

However,

这篇开头一开始就直截了当指出这篇argument是not well

reasoned,然后高度概括了题目中的要点和题目的观点，下文反驳的第一段就用however承接，逻辑连贯，是大家比较喜欢的argument开头。

Argument test 2: Scott Woods

The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.

"Five years ago, we residents of Morganton voted to keep the publicly owned

piece of land known as Scott Woods in a natural, undeveloped state. Our thinking

was that, if no shopping centers or houses were built there, Scott Woods would

continue to benefit our community as a natural parkland. But now that our town

planning committee wants to purchase the land and build a school there, we

should reconsider this issue. If the land becomes a school site, no shopping

centers or houses can be built there, and substantial acreage would probably be

devoted to athletic fields. There would be no better use of land in our

community than this, since a large majority of our children participate in

sports, and Scott Woods would continue to benefit our community as natural

parkland."

This letter to the editor begins by stating the reasons the residents of

Morganton voted to keep Scott Woods in an undeveloped state. The letter states

that the entire community could benefit from an undeveloped parkland. The

residents of the town wanted to ensure that no shopping centers or houses would

be built there. This, in turn, would provide everyone in the community with a

valuable resource, a natural park.

The letter then continues by addressing the issue of building a school on the

land. The author reasons that this would also benefit the entire community as a

natural parkland since much of the land would be devoted to athletic fields. The

author of the letter comes to the conclusion that building a school on the land

would be the best thing for everyone in the community.

This letter is a one-sided argument about the best use of the land known as

Scott Woods. The author may be a parent whose child would benefit from a new

school, a teacher who thinks a school would boost the community, or just a

resident of Morganton. Regardless of who the author is, there are many aspects

of this plan that he or she has overlooked or chosen to ignore.

这篇文章的开头实在是太长了，个人不建议写这样的开头，前两段全部是对题目的改写，第三段还用了两行去猜这个argument作者的身份，毕竟我们只有30min去写一篇argument,我认为开头还是开门见山，简单明了地表明文章观点比较好，把重点放在后面的论证部分。

我们可以看到commentary对这种开头也并不看好!

COMMENTARY

This outstanding response begins somewhat hesitantly; the opening paragraphs

summarize but do not immediately engage the argument.

(注意，这句话的意思是，rater希望看到的是immediately engage the argument的文章，而不是summarize the

argument!)However, the subsequent paragraphs target the central flaws in the

argument and analyze them in almost microscopic detail.

Argument test 3: Smile Bright

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

A recent survey of dental patients showed that people who use Smile-Bright

toothpaste are most likely to have capped teeth -- artificial but

natural-looking protective coverings placed by dentists on individual teeth.

Those people who had begun using Smile-Bright toothpaste early in life were more

likely to have capped teeth than were people who had begun using Smile-Bright

later in life. In addition, those who reported brushing their teeth more than

twice a day with Smile-Bright toothpaste were more likely to have caps on their

teeth than were those who reported brushing with Smile-Bright less frequently.

Therefore, people wishing to avoid having their teeth capped should not use

Smile-Bright toothpaste.

The argument contains several facets that are questionable. First, the

reliability and generalizability of the survey are open to quesiton. In

addition, the argument assumes a correlation amounts to a causal relationship.

The argument also fails to examine alternative explanations. I will discuss each

of these facets in turn.

这篇开头非常清晰地直接指出了文章的三个逻辑错误，既高度概括了题目的逻辑错误点，又提示了下文的逻辑论证顺序和内容，使人一目了然，可以学习这种方式。

Argument test 4: Roller Skating

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

Hospital statistics regarding people who go to the emergency room after

rollerskating accidents indicate the need for more protective equipment. Within

this group of people, 75 percent of those who had accidents in streets or

parking lots were not wearing any protective clothing (helmets, knee pads, etc.)

or any light-reflecting material (clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads,

etc.). Clearly, these statistics indicate that by investing in high-quality

protective gear and reflective equipment, rollerskaters will greatly reduce

their risk of being severely injured in an accident.

Benchmark 6

The notion that protective gear reduces the injuries suffered in accidents

seems at first glance to be an obvious conclusion. After all, (先来一个小让步)it is the

intent of these products to either prevent accidents from occuring in the first

place or to reduce the injuries suffered by the wearer should an accident occur.

However, the conclusion that investing in high quality protective gear greatly

reduces the risk of being severely injured in an accident may mask other (and

potentially more significant) causes of injuries and may inspire people to over

invest financially and psychologically in protective gear. (指出了施行题目中建议的后果)

这篇开头先高度概括题目中的结论，然后以after

all引出一个小让步，再用However指出如果实施这个建议会带来什么后果，高度概括这个conclusion存在的两个问题：忽略他因和人们的错误投资，为下文的论证做铺垫。

Argument test 5: University of Claria

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

The University of Claria is generally considered one of the best universities

in the world because of its instructors' reputation, which is based primarily on

the extensive research and publishing record of certain faculty members. In

addition, several faculty members are internationally renowned as leaders in

their fields. For example, many of the faculty from the English department are

regularly invited to teach at universities in other countries. Furthermore, two

recent graduates of the physics department have gone on to become candidates for

the Nobel Prize in Physics. And 75 percent of the students are able to find

employment after graduating. Therefore, because of the reputation of its

faculty, the University of Claria should be the obvious choice for anyone

seeking a quality education.

SAMPLE-1 (score 6)

While the University of Claria appears to have an excellent reputation based

on the accomplishments and reputations of its faculty, one would also wish to

consider other issues before deciding upon this particular institution for

undergraduate or graduate

training.(开门见山对题目中的建议提出质疑，通过先让步再转折的方法，先高度概括题目大意，再指出自己的观点。)The Physics and

English departments are internationally known, but these are only two of the

areas in which one might study. Other departments are not listed; is this

because no others are worth mentioning, or because no other departments bothered

to turn in their accomplishments and kudos to the publicity

office?(直接开始引出第一个TS)

这篇开头也是开门见山对题目中的建议进行质疑，并引出第一个反驳的分论点，下文紧接着这一段的末句展开论证，个人比较喜欢第一句，对第二句不是很有爱，最好能提示全文，不要只提示下一段吧。

Argument test 6: Silver Screen Movies

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

The following is taken from a memo from the advertising director of the

Silver Screen Movie Production Company.

"According to a recent report from our marketing department, fewer people

attended movies produced by Silver Screen during the past year than in any other

year. And yet the percentage of generally favorable comments by movie reviewers

about specific Silver Screen movies actually increased during this period.

Clearly, the contents of these reviews are not reaching enough of our

prospective viewers; so the problem lies not with the quality of our movies but

with the public's lack of awareness that movies of good quality are available.

Silver Screen should therefore spend more of its budget next year on reaching

the public through advertising and less on producing new movies."

SAMPLE-1 (score 6)

The argument presented above is relatively sound, however, the author fails

to recognize all the elements necessary to evaluate his situation. The idea that

more money be invested in advertising may be a helpful one, but perhaps not

because people are unaware of the current reviews. To clarify, it may be

necessary to advertise more in order to increase sales, however that could be

due to many circumstances such as a decrease in the public's overall attendance,

an increase in the cost of movies, or a lack of trust in the opinions of the

reviewers.

这篇范文感觉跟大部分人写的文章结构很相近，大家朝着这个方向努力可能相对容易些。开头还是先开门见山指出题目是有问题的，然后简单指出题目的问题出在作者忽略了其他可能的原因，然后再用简单的语言分别概括了三个他因。

以上就是小编为大家介绍的GRE写作ARGUMENT开头段的写法和范文实例点评，如果考生觉得自己写不好ARGUMENT开头段缺乏写作思路灵感，那么看过本文后大家应该会有所收获，最后祝各位同学都能写好GRE ARGUMENT作文拿到好成绩。
