[分享] 9/10 AWA

[arist ( 在他方 )]

argument

The following appeared in a proposal from the economic minister of the
country of Paraterra. "In order to strengthen its lagging economy, last year
the government of the nearby country of Bellegea began an advertising
campaign to promote ecologically sound tourism (ecotourism). This year the
number of foreign visitors arriving at Bellegea's main airport doubled, and
per capita income in Bellegea increased by ten percent. To provide more
income for the population of Paraterra and also preserve the natural
environment of our tiny country, we too should begin to promote ecotourism.
To ensure that our advertising campaign is successful, we should hire the
current director of Bellegea's National Tourism Office as a consultant for
the campaign."

In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once
was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading
books."

→當天到考場才發現護照過期，我印象中護照是六年，
  可能因先前未服役只有三年的期限，所以今年剛過期...
  後來服務人員還不錯，
  指引我可以去所在學校辦些身分證明，(我是台大的學生，剛好我也選台大考場)
  很急忙地花了近一小時的時間，終於可以順利考試。

Issue

170 "Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal
system because moral behavior cannot be legislated."

134. "It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting
value." *a person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music,
paintings, etc.


Argument

41. The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients
from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been
proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first
group of patients,
all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who
specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their
treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than
typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr.
Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients
believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was
not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with
muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their
treatment."



總算考完了 QQ"

issue

60"In any profession-business, politics, education, government-those in power
should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any
enterprise is revitalization through new leadership."


202"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."


arguement


The Department of Education in the state of Attra recommends that high school
students be assigned homework every day. Yet a recent statewide survey of
high school math and science teachers calls the usefulness of daily homework
into question. In the district of Sanlee, 86 percent of the teachers reported
assigning homework three to five times a week, whereas in the district of
Marlee, less than 25 percent of the teachers reported assigning homework
three to five times a week. Yet the students in Marlee earn better grades
overall and are less likely to be required to repeat a year of school than
are the students in Sanlee. Therefore, all teachers in our high schools
should assign homework no more than twice a week, if at all.

一種接受命運擺佈的無奈，突然讓人覺得，世間原有這許多淒涼，每個人都在這無垠的淒
涼中，拼命地想要擁有一點溫暖，於是有父母，有子女，有朋友，築成一道密密的牆。
但是淒涼卻像夜晚的星光，偶爾不小心一抬頭，便緊緊地攫住你；生怕你不知道，
在這個廣闊的宇宙裡，你原是一個孤獨的靈魂。不管你怎樣開朗，怎樣分享，怎樣剖白，
都躲不過這樣的時刻，讓你發現  ----   原來你始終是一個人
                                                 ----艾夢晴  午夜的太陽----

ISSUE

How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society.
Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring
about a better society."

Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system
because moral behavior cannot be legislated."

ARGUMENT

The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of
possible harmful effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near
the sites. A total of five sites and 300 people were examined. The study
revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation between the
proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes
among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that
people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of
the rashes, there was otherwise no correlation between the size of the garbage
sites and people's health. Therefore, the council is pleased to announce that
the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard.
We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any
restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites

Issue

TOPIC 1.

158"Critical judgment of work in any given field has little value
unless it comes from someone who is an expert in that field."

TOPIC 2.

241"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."

Argument

'The following appeared in a memo from the marketing director of Bargain
Brand Cereals. "One year ago we introduced our first product, 'Bargain
Brand' breakfast cereal. Our very low prices quickly drew many customers
away from the top-selling cereal companies. Although the companies
producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering
their prices, and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands,
not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit.
Given our success selling cereal, Bargain Brand should now expand its
business and begin marketing other low-priced food products as quickly as
possible."

簡單心得：

上帝對我不錯，讓我在Issue可以選到高頻題，也算是蠻好發揮的；但是
在argument就有點考驗我了，我連題目都沒看過阿，而且有點難挑錯，
尤其在緊張之下，腦筋會有點不靈光。

給未考的朋友建議，一定要練習、練習再練習阿，其實考試的介面除了
一些instruction and background information之外，完全和ftp中的一模一樣
，連介面打字區的寬度什麼的都完全相同，為什麼我知道呢？因為我也
有用patterns，換行的地方完全相同，至少看到這一點，在考場中會讓人
安心很多。還有寫Argument的時候，大家敲鍵盤的聲音相當熱烈，大概
都跟我依樣在默寫patterns吧...，相較起來issue的時段就很安靜。

雖然我也花了點時間練習，但是卻還是有點鴕鳥心態，總覺得在考試的
時候會表現比較好，所以練習中還是會打點馬虎眼。可是，今天坐在考
場當中，那種卡住、不順和舉棋不定的感覺和在家中練習時都一樣，該
面對的總是要面對阿。


總之考完了，大家筆考一起加油吧！

ISSUE

20"
The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's
efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time.

38"
The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most
significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous
few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten.

ARGUMENT

58"
The following appeared in a memo from a budget planner for the City of
Grandviw. "To avoid a budget deficit next year, the City of Grandview must
eliminate its funding for the Grandview Symphony. Our citizens are well aware
of the fact that while the Grandview Symphony Orchestra was struggling to
succeed, our city goverment promised annyal funding to help support its
programs. Last year, however, private contributions to the Symphony increased
by 200 percent, and attendance at the Symphony's concerts-in-the-park seires
doubled. The Symphony has also announced an increase in ticket prices for
next year. Such developments indicate that the Symphony can now succeed
without funding from city goverment and we can eliminate that expense from
next year's budget. This action will surely prevent a budget deficit."

ISSUE

117"Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our
inclinations, or the dictates of our passions."

202"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."

看到issue題目有點ㄘㄨㄚˋ   好像都不好發揮

不過還是選了117  打的字蠻多的  想說豁出去了不要管有多瞎掰 XD

字多看起來也比較美觀拉 我個人認為有表面效度

只是真的一開始會想蠻久的  而且腦中一片空白 想不到要打什麼真的會很緊張ㄟ@@

ARGUMENT

180'The following is a letter to the editor of the Glenville Gazette, a local
newspaper. "Over the past few years, the number of people who have purchased
advance tickets for the Glenville Summer Concert series has declined,
indicating lack of community support. Although the weather has been
unpredictable in the past few years, this cannot be the reason for the
decline in advance ticket purchases, because many people attended the
concerts even in bad weather. Clearly, then, the reason for the decline is
the choice of music, so the organizers of the concert should feature more
modern music in the future and should be sure to include music composed by
Richerts, whose recordings Glenville residents purchase more often than any
other contemporary recordings. This strategy will undoubtedly increase
advance ticket purchases and will increase attendance at the concerts."

打完issue耗掉很多腦力

argument我就變的很慢.....才打到第二段結束發現只剩下12分鐘

才快馬加鞭趕最後



只是還蠻幸運都是高頻題就對了

希望大家也有好運喔
