美聯(lián)英語(yǔ)提供:GRE作文提綱 1.One reason why educators should emphasize personal enrichment over job preparation is that rote technical knowledge and skill do not help a student determine which goals in life are worthwhile and whether the means of attaining those goals are ethically or morally acceptable.2.Another reason why educators should emphasize personal enrichment over job preparation is that specific knowledge and skills needed for jobs are changing more and more quickly.3.A third reason why educators should emphasized personally enriching course work—particularly anthropology, sociology, history, and political philosophy—is that these courses help students understand, appreciate and respect other people and their viewpoints.現(xiàn)實(shí)和理想
-----------------------------
201.“The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas--not to prepare them for a specific job.”
教育的目的應(yīng)該是給予學(xué)生一個(gè)價(jià)值體系,一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),一整套想法----而不是為一個(gè)具體工作培養(yǎng)他們。
1.By
helping students develop a thoughtful, principled value system educators actually help prepare students for jobs.2.Another reason for my viewpoint lies in the fact that technology-driven industries account for an ever-increasing portion of our jobs.3.Besides helping students develop their own thoughtful value systems, educators should instill in students certain basic values upon which any democratic society depends;otherwise, our freedom to choose our own jobs and careers might not survive in the long term.4.Admittedly, values and behavioral standards specific to
certain religions are best left to parents and churches.213.“Too much emphasis has been placed on the need for students to challenge the assertions of others.In fact, the ability to compromise and work with others--that is, the ability to achieve social harmony--should be a major goal in every school.”
人們過(guò)于重視了學(xué)生們挑戰(zhàn)他人主張的要求。實(shí)際上,達(dá)成社會(huì)和諧的能力,比如容讓和協(xié)作能力,應(yīng)該成為每一所學(xué)校的主要目標(biāo)。
Encouraging students to think critically does not necessarily conflict with our pursuit of social harmony.1.Critical thinking is key to students both academically and politically.2.It is necessary for students to criticize the views of each other in their studies, which does not necessarily lead to conflicts
among them.3.Compromising is harmful in academic pursuits.---------------------------
214.“Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability.Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped.”
社會(huì)應(yīng)該發(fā)現(xiàn)那些具有特殊天賦和能力的孩子,并且在年幼的時(shí)候就開(kāi)始訓(xùn)練他們以便于這些孩子最終可以在他們擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域中出類拔萃。否則這些天才就可能會(huì)止步不前。
1.At first blush the statement appears compelling.I agree with the statement insofar as any society that values its own future well-being must be attentive to its children’s talents.2.Beyond this concession, however, I disagree with the statement because it seems to recommend that certain children receive special attention at the expense of other children—a recommendation that I find troubling.---------------------------222.“Learning for learning's sake is an outdated concept.Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals.”
孤立的教育已經(jīng)是過(guò)時(shí)的想法了?,F(xiàn)在的教育應(yīng)該作用于更高的目的并且由清晰的目標(biāo)來(lái)指引。
While education must serve clear purpose, “l(fā)earning for learning’s sake” is not necessarily out-dated.1.The primary purpose of education is to cultivate qualified citizens and builders of a democratic
society.2.Another purpose of education is to train creative workers who can fill in all the occupations of society.3.The idea of “l(fā)earning for learning’s sake” does not necessarily conflict with education’s pursuit of the above purposes.反理想與現(xiàn)實(shí)之教育
-------------------------223.“Education is primarily a personal matter;it has little to do with school or college.”
教育主要是個(gè)人的私事,和中小學(xué)或者大學(xué)基本上沒(méi)什么關(guān)系。
Education is not a personal matter in a large sense, and it certainly has a lot to do with school or college.1.It is not difficult to understand that education directly benefits the individual receiver of education.2.Furthermore, the education of an individual concerns the interests of the whole society.3.With the dramatic increase in knowledge today, it is impossible to educate oneself without the involvement of school or college.少數(shù)和多數(shù)
-------------------------228.“The best way to teach--whether as an educator, employer, or parent--is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones.”
無(wú)論是作為教育者、雇主或者是父母,教育最好的方法就是贊揚(yáng)積極的行為而無(wú)視消極的行為。
The statement overlooks circumstances under which praise might be inappropriate, as well as ignoring the beneficial value of constructive criticism, and sometimes even punishment.1.The recommendation that parents, teachers and
employers praise positive actions is generally good advice.2.While recommending praise for positive actions is fundamentally sound advice, this advice should carry with it certain caveats.3.As for ignoring negative actions, I agree that minor peccadilloes can, and in many cases should, be overlooked.4.At the same time, some measure of constructive criticism and critique, and sometimes even punishment, is appropriate.贊揚(yáng)和批評(píng)
------------------------230.“College students--and people in general--prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions.Therefore, colleges should eliminate as many choices as possible in order to offer students clear direction.”
大學(xué)學(xué)生和普通大眾寧愿聽(tīng)從指示而不愿意自己做決定。因此,大學(xué)應(yīng)該盡可能為學(xué)生減少選擇以便于為學(xué)生們提供一個(gè)明確的方向。
1.As for the speaker’s threshold claim, I concede that under certain circumstances people prefer to take direction from others.2.When it comes to particular tasks in which college professors are more experienced and knowledgeable, following their directions is to be preferred, for failing to do so can result in costly mistakes.3.However, when it comes to decisions about major and
minor fields of study, curriculum choices, and other broad decisions, for the most part students themselves—and not college administrators—should be the final decision-makers.精英和大眾之選擇權(quán)---------------------------232.“The purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is separate from the outside world.This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns.” 教育的目的應(yīng)該是要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造出一個(gè)隔離于外界的學(xué)術(shù)環(huán)境。這樣的環(huán)境最理想因?yàn)檫@樣可以使學(xué)生們不受功利的干擾而專注于重要的理念。
It is near-sighted to isolate students from the outside world.1.A common misconception about education is that the so-called “important ideas” students learn at schools have nothing to do with the practical world.2.Actually, students’ knowledge of the outside world contributions to their academic studies.3.Furthermore, the ultimate purpose of education is to train workers and citizens who can adapt themselves to and make contributions to the society outside the campus.理想和現(xiàn)實(shí)
第四類 科技
7.“The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records.”
攝像機(jī)可以通過(guò)如此精確而有力的記錄手段來(lái)再現(xiàn)當(dāng)代生活,因此它已經(jīng)代替書面記錄成為了一種更重要的記錄手段。
Although I agree that a video provides a more objective and accurate record of an event’s spatial aspects, there is far more to document in life than what we see and hear.Thus the speaker overstates the comparative significance of video as a documentary tool.1.For the purpose of documenting temporal, spatial events and experiences, I agree that a video record is usually more accurate and more convincing than a written record.2.Nonetheless, for certain other purposes written records are more advantageous and more appropriate than video records.3.Finally, a video record is of not use in documenting statistical or quantitative information.記錄手段:現(xiàn)代攝像機(jī)和印刷術(shù)
------------------------------30.“The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time.”
技術(shù)進(jìn)步的首要目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是提高人們的效率以便于每個(gè)人都享有更多的閑暇時(shí)光。
Disagree: 1.The chief reason for my disagreement lies in the empirical proof: with technological advancement comes diminished leisure time.2.Meanwhile, the suggestion that technology’s chief goal should be to facilitate leisure is simply wrongheaded.There are far more vital concerns that technology can and should address.技術(shù)進(jìn)步之空閑時(shí)刻
------------------------------66.“As people rely more and more on technology to solve problems, the ability of humans to think for themselves will surely deteriorate.”
當(dāng)人們變得越來(lái)越依賴技術(shù)解決問(wèn)題的時(shí)候,人類獨(dú)立思考的能力將肯定會(huì)有所衰退。
Technology is a double-edged sword that may either serve or harm human interests.1.On the one hand, it is possible that people may become the slaves of technology.2.On the other hand, technology may save people’s time and energy so that they could devote themselves to more creative and meaningful work.3.Moreover, technology provides people with effective instruments for intellectual work.技術(shù)進(jìn)步之人和技術(shù)
------------------------------69.“Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development”
政府應(yīng)該少限制科學(xué)研究和發(fā)展。
Disagree 1.Without government funding, scientists would find it difficult to carry out large-scale projects.2.Government can also organize scientists to solve the most urgent problems that concern society.3.However, government should refrain from interfering with the freedom of scientific enquiry.技術(shù)之政府限制
------------------------------88.“Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics.”
技術(shù)不僅僅影響而且實(shí)際上是決定了社會(huì)
傳統(tǒng)和道德規(guī)范。
1.Technologies have radically changed the way we spend holidays.2.The new ways of communication brought about by electronic technology have transformed the way we associate with each other in our daily lives.3.However, we should not let technologies determine our ethics.技術(shù)進(jìn)步之社會(huì)影響
------------------------------107.“Instant communication systems encourage people to form hasty opinions and give quick replies rather than take the time to develop thoughtful, well-reasoned points of view.”
即時(shí)通訊系統(tǒng)促使人們匆忙的做出判斷并很快的給出回答,而不是花時(shí)間去形成深思熟慮和理由充分的觀點(diǎn)。
Instant communication systems tend to discourage thoughtful and well-reasoned points of view.1.Instant communication systems usually require quick replies.2.The pressure of time and space—a key feature of instant communication—forces people to form hasty opinions rather than thoughtful and well-reasoned points of view.3.On the contrary, traditional ways of communication such as hand-written letters or face-to-face discussion are more likely to induce in-depth thinking.技術(shù)進(jìn)步之即時(shí)判斷
第二篇:GRE作文提綱
GRE作文提綱和模板--給大家的禮物
這是竹子準(zhǔn)備考試過(guò)程中自認(rèn)為的精華部分,(自己整理總結(jié)的東西)獻(xiàn)給PAISLEY和寄托天下的gters,希望能對(duì)大家有用。
Argument提綱
一.開(kāi)頭部分In this argument, the arguer concludes that…To substantiate the conclusion, the arguer points out that…In addition, the arguer assumes that / reasons that / cites the example of / cites the result of a recent study that…A careful examination of this argument would reveal how groundless it is.二.論證駁斥部分First of all, the argument is based on a false analogy./ The arguer simply assumes that…but he does not provide any evidence that…are indeed comparable./ As we
know,…differ conspicuously./ It is true that both…but even here exist fundamental differences:…/ Therefore, even though…proved effective in doing…there is no guarantee that it will work just as well for…// As a result, A and B do not establish a warranted analogy.So we cannot safely assume that(兩者無(wú)法比)** The author unfairly assumes that A bears some relation to B./ However, the author provides no evidence to support that this is the case, nor does the author establish a causal relationship between A and B./ It is highly possible that other factors might contribute to the B/change/progress./ For example,…It is also likely B just resulted from…/ Lacking evidence that links A to B, it is
presumptuous to suggest that A was responsible for B.(無(wú)法建立必然的因果關(guān)系)** The evidence the author provides is insufficient to support the conclusion drawn from it./ One example is rarely sufficient to establish a general conclusion./ Based on a specific example of…, it is logically unsounded to make suggestion for all…/ In fact, in face of such limited evidence, it is fallacious to draw any conclusion at all./ Unless it can be shown that…is representative of all…, the conclusion that…is completely unwarranted.(單個(gè)事例不能說(shuō)明整體問(wèn)題)** By concluding that sb must do A or must do B, the author commits a fallacy of“false dilemma”./ The author assumes that A and B are the only available solutions to the problem./ However, it is possible that other factors might also contribute to the problem.For example,…/ If so, just doing A and B would not solve the problem.(還有其他原因)
In addition, the arguer commits a fallacy of hasty generalization./ Even if…, which is, of course, an unwarranted assumption, it does not follow that…/ It is highly possible that other factors may have contributed to B…/ For instance,…/ Besides, the arguer does not provide any solid information
concerning…/ Unless…, which is unknown from this argument, there is no guarantee that…// Without ruling out these and other possible factors that give rise to B, the author cannot confidently conclude that…(結(jié)論得出過(guò)早,考慮不周到)
** The arguer assumes that just because one event follows another, the second event has been caused by the first./ However, no evidence is provided to support that this is the case./ The mere fact that A occurs before B does not necessarily establish a causal relationship between A and B./ It is highly possible that other factors might also bring about these same results./ For instance,…In addition,…/ Without ruling out these and other possible factors that give rise to B, the author cannot confidently conclude that…
** The recommendation depends on the assumption that no alternative means of doing sth are available./ However, the arguer fails to offer any evidence to substantiate this crucial
assumption.It is highly possible that means other than this would better solve the problem./
Without considering and ruling out these and other alternative means of doing sth, the author cannot confidently conclude that…
** The arguer assumes the characteristics of asgroupsapply to every member of that
group./ The conclusion that…is based on the assumption that…/ However, there is no
guarantee that this is the case, nor does the author provide any evidence to substantiate this
assumption.It is very likely that…/ Lacking such evidence the author cannot draw any firm
conclusion.(整體規(guī)律不一定適用于個(gè)人)
** It is assumed without justification that background conditions have remained the
same at different times / conditions./ The arguer unfairly infer from…in the past that…/
However, he/she fails to offer any evidence to substantiate this inference.It is very likely
that…, or that…/ Any of these scenarios, if true, would serve to undermine the claim
that…(從過(guò)去不能推知現(xiàn)在和將來(lái))
Finally, the arguer provides no assurances that the survey on which the argument
depends is statistically reliable./ Lacking information about the number of…surveyed and the number of respondents, it is impossible to assess the validity of the results./For example, if…were surveyed but only…responded, the conclusion that…would be highly suspected./ Another problem is the representativeness of the respondents.Were they representative of all the…? Were…chosen for the survey chosen randomly or did they volunteer for the
survey?…/ Lacking such evidence the author cannot draw any firm conclusion based on the study.三.結(jié)尾部分In summary, this argument is not persuasive as it stands.To make it more convincing, the arguer would have to provide more evidence concerning…/ provide evidence to rule out other possible causes of…To better evaluate the argument, we would need more information regarding…
Issue模版
第一段Determining whether something should or should not be done could be weighed in many aspects.Different people have different answers due to their respective point of view.On balance, my view is that the final judgment should depend on a case-by-case analysis of the two situations./ In my point of view, I agree with the speaker on the grounds that…/ At the first glance, this opinion seems to be somewhat appealing, but further reflection tells me that I cannot agree with it for the following reasons.第二段**同意The first and foremost reason why I support / agree with above statement is that…There is also a further ? more subtle ? point to consider.**反對(duì)Although at first glance these arguments sound reasonable and appealing, they are not borne out by a careful consideration.The undeniable deficiency in above arguments is that they are negligent of the bare fact that...第三段In conclusion, it must be explained that these three reasons sometimes intertwine to form an organic whole, thus becoming more persuasive than anyone of them.So, any thinking person must believe that…

Initially made of hemp or vine, the ring could be replaced whenever it wore out.The Romans later adopted the custom and began the tradition that continues today.Iron was used to symbolize the strength of the couples bond.In the fifteenth century, the British elevated the symbol by replacing iron with gold.Its lasting qualities of strength, beauty and purity have resulted in a custom that has remained unchanged for centuries.最初的戒指是用大麻或者藤蔓來(lái)做成的,當(dāng)它戴破了之后人們就會(huì)換另一個(gè)。后來(lái)羅馬人采用了這種習(xí)俗并開(kāi)始了沿襲至今日的傳統(tǒng)。過(guò)去鐵被用來(lái)象征著夫婦間堅(jiān)韌的紐帶。在十五世紀(jì),英國(guó)人用金子取代鐵,使其象征意義更為珍貴。金子的硬度、美麗與純度經(jīng)久不衰,使之成為數(shù)世紀(jì)以來(lái)保持不變的習(xí)俗。
CakeYou don't have to dig very deeply to recognize this custom as a symbol of male dominance.In ancient Greece and Rome, women were considered as the property of their husbands like their houses or livestock!
面紗-你無(wú)須深究就可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)習(xí)俗是男性統(tǒng)治的一個(gè)標(biāo)志。在古希臘和古羅馬,婦女被認(rèn)為和房子或者家畜一樣是丈夫的財(cái)產(chǎn)!
Usually covered from head to foot, it was accepted that only her husband had the right to see her unveiled.The lifting of the veil by the groom makes it clear that he is in the position of authority.It's amazing that this custom has been accepted by the liberal generation of today.More recently, it is often considered unlucky for the groom to see the bride prior the ceremony and the veil was considered the means of avoiding bad luck.通常婦女要從頭遮到腳,只有她的丈夫有權(quán)利看到她揭開(kāi)面紗之后的樣子。新郎掀開(kāi)蓋
頭的做法,清楚地表明了他站在權(quán)力的位置上。令人驚訝的是,這個(gè)習(xí)俗也被現(xiàn)在自由主義一代所接受。最近,通常來(lái)說(shuō)人們認(rèn)為新郎在舉行儀式之前看到新娘是不吉利的,而且面紗被認(rèn)為是避免惡運(yùn)的方法。

第五篇:美聯(lián)國(guó)際英語(yǔ)2012營(yíng)銷策劃書
美聯(lián)國(guó)際英語(yǔ)是美國(guó)ellis教育集團(tuán)在華合作的重點(diǎn)項(xiàng)目之一。從1998至今,美國(guó)ellis教育集團(tuán)將“ellis”英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)法引入中國(guó),結(jié)合國(guó)人學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的特點(diǎn),開(kāi)創(chuàng)了英語(yǔ)教學(xué)體制,受到了英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者的廣泛推崇。為了開(kāi)拓更加廣闊的市場(chǎng),為社會(huì)培訓(xùn)處更多的人才,提高經(jīng)濟(jì)效益,特制定本營(yíng)銷策劃書。
一、背景分析
(一)環(huán)境分析
從宏觀環(huán)境來(lái)說(shuō),商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的出現(xiàn)是社會(huì)發(fā)展的必然結(jié)果,也是英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言學(xué)自身發(fā)展的必然趨勢(shì)。隨著外資企業(yè)的不斷增多,越來(lái)越多的中國(guó)人開(kāi)始在外企里工作,外資企業(yè)對(duì)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)人才需求極大。同時(shí),國(guó)內(nèi)民營(yíng)企業(yè)對(duì)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)人才需求也增大??偟膩?lái)說(shuō),商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的宏觀營(yíng)銷環(huán)境是處于一個(gè)較好的狀態(tài)之中,整個(gè)國(guó)家的各個(gè)方面都正朝著健康、積極的方向在發(fā)展。
(二)市場(chǎng)分析
美聯(lián)國(guó)際英語(yǔ)的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手有戴爾、華爾街、英孚、劍橋、長(zhǎng)春藤、昂立、韋博、新東方等多家商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)。這些培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)都是經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富、資金雄厚,具有強(qiáng)勁的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力,占有了很大一部分市場(chǎng),因此拓展市場(chǎng)并不是一件容易的事情。
(三)美聯(lián)教學(xué)特色:
1.不超過(guò)4人的小班授課
不超過(guò)4人的個(gè)性化外教小班,針對(duì)學(xué)員真實(shí)水平的授課。

11. 素質(zhì)拓展與英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)共成長(zhǎng)
現(xiàn)代社會(huì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈,英文素質(zhì)拓展訓(xùn)練與英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)并行的獨(dú)特設(shè)計(jì),為學(xué)員的成功增加競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。
(四)營(yíng)銷現(xiàn)狀
市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷做的不夠,開(kāi)發(fā)不到位,市場(chǎng)定位不穩(wěn)。商務(wù)英語(yǔ)是在英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)上附加了商務(wù)部分。以高級(jí)商務(wù)人士作為商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)的主要群體不太現(xiàn)實(shí),一來(lái)他們已具有較強(qiáng)的英語(yǔ)運(yùn)用能力,二來(lái)出于工作限制,他們也不可能抽出專門的時(shí)間去上英語(yǔ)課。所以高端商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)這個(gè)市場(chǎng)從一開(kāi)始就失去了長(zhǎng)期陣地。
同時(shí)戴爾、華爾街、新東方等培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)占據(jù)很大部分市場(chǎng),美聯(lián)國(guó)際英語(yǔ)必須做的更好,才可以在爭(zhēng)取新客源的同時(shí)也與他們爭(zhēng)奪原有的顧客。
l 目標(biāo)
旨提升美聯(lián)國(guó)際英語(yǔ)的知名度,從而促進(jìn)其市場(chǎng)拓展,增加客源,提高經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。2012年顧客占有率提高5%,在同類產(chǎn)品中建立更加鞏固、突出的位置。
l 營(yíng)銷戰(zhàn)略
1.產(chǎn)品策略 我們跟隨著國(guó)際上商務(wù)英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)產(chǎn)品的發(fā)展,從國(guó)外引進(jìn),應(yīng)該在這方面進(jìn)行不斷的創(chuàng)新和改造,使培訓(xùn)方式更加符合中國(guó)人的特點(diǎn),走出一條符合中國(guó)文化特點(diǎn)的道路,才能不斷提高市場(chǎng)占有率。2.價(jià)格策略 運(yùn)用價(jià)格策略,分別對(duì)公司整體培訓(xùn),社會(huì)團(tuán)隊(duì)以及個(gè)人等采取不同的價(jià)格策略方法,不能被動(dòng)地跟隨競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者的價(jià)格走,要主動(dòng)出擊才能掌握全局。
3.掌握好消費(fèi)者的消費(fèi)心理。
上兵伐謀,攻心為上。古人云:上兵伐謀,最高之兵法在于謀略。古人云云:“攻心為上,攻城為下”,“心戰(zhàn)為上,兵站為下”以成為營(yíng)銷戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的“心經(jīng)”,而攻心為上,對(duì)于營(yíng)銷者來(lái)說(shuō)關(guān)鍵就在于抓住消費(fèi)者的心。以下是消費(fèi)者八個(gè)方面的心理:
