LSAT写作应该注意的要求及样例
|
LSAT考试中的作文是不记入总分的，法学院在录取时，对于作文的分数只是作为参考。有的学校对于作文成绩非常看中，但有的学校则看都不看。为了保险期间，大家还是认真写吧。 写作部分时间为 30 分种，其内容是，就给定的题目中的两种观点选择一个，并加以阐述。写作部分不计人总分， 只作为参考。 写作时应注意以下问题: ??(1) 选择一种观点。在两种观点 中选定一种， 围绕这种观点展开论述。 ??(2) 阐述观点时，既要陈述支持所选择观点的理由 ，也要陈述反对另一种观点的理由。在两方面的对比申说明该选择的观点正确。 ??(3) 文章应包括五个段落。第一段说明两者之中选择其一， 中间三段阐述选择的理由，最后一段作出结论。 ??(4) 写作应自然流畅 ，观点要明确，不要使用简写或缩写词。 ??2005年6月的LSAT考试对不计分的写作环节进行了调整：写作时间由30分钟变为35分钟，书写的纸由一张变为两张，同时还修改了答题指导。现在考生将被随机分配两种题目中的一种。在这两种中，有一种是新题型。写作部分将依然保持不计分。 ??写作练习 ??Valerie, a first-year graduate student in mathematics, needs a part-time job, and competition for jobs in the small town where her university is located is keen. With the following considerations in mind, write an argument supporting one of Valeries two job offers over the other: ??Valerie wants the income from her job to minimize the money she must borrow for living expenses. Valerie wants the job to interfere with her graduate program as little as possible. ??The universitys Undergraduate Learning Center has offered Valerie a job tutoring groups of students taking introductory mathematics courses. Valerie has been assigned five 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM sessions, for which she will receive $160 per week. The ULC also provides free individual tutoring for students in advanced mathematics courses who request it. As a graduate student employee, Valerie would be eligible to serve as an individual tutor, in addition to her regular sessions, for which she would receive $15 per hour. The schedule of this job will require her to make changes in the courses she had planned to take this semester. She will also miss the afternoon office hours that most professors set aside to work individually with graduate students. ??Milanos, a local restaurant has offered Valerie a job as a food server. She will work Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights each week, starting at 5:00 PM. The salary is $130 per week plus tips, which can range anywhere from $80 to $140 for four nights of work. Milanos is often crowded on Friday and Saturday nights but rarely during the week. A server at Milanos told Valerie that although the restaurants kitchen closes at 11:00 PM, servers must stay until all customers have left, which can be midnight or later. Valeries most demanding class meets at 8:00 AM. Wednesdays and Fridays and cannot be rescheduled. Taking this job also means that she must give up the evening meetings of her study group. |
