哈哈哈，看完今天这篇文章你还不会写 GRE Argument 作文，你来打我，我把手寄给你帮你去考试算了！看标题就知道，7天速成作文，咱们一天来一篇学习好了，进度不要那么赶，主要是得好好消化！不然会一团浆糊，噎死啦！
GRE考试中会遇到两道写作题，Argument+Issue，要求考生在30分钟之内各自完成一篇。
于国内考GRE的童鞋来说，GRE写作是所有科目里表现最差的，据ETS官方发布的最新GRE年度报告显示，咱们国内考生GRE写作的平均分是3.1，只超过了全球18%的考生，作文拿满分的概率非常低（当然作文拿6分的大神确实有，但是对于普通考生来说真的是难于上青天）。
于是，很多童鞋在备考GRE作文的时候都会非常迷茫，
不复习吧，写作分数就很有可能成为自己申请的绊脚石；
复习吧，又会消耗大量的时间，还不如多花点时间在Verbal上。
这就导致很多童鞋，在整个GRE备考期间，都在忙着搞阅读词汇，写作几乎是裸考的，结果到了要上“战场”时，都依然不懂得如何快速搞定GRE作文。
最后V和Q都考了325+，但是一看作文gg了：2.5分卧槽？？！!
然后又不得不再考一场GRE，多花一次考试报名费...
最要命的是还要继续来一次要命的GRE复习，还不一定考得比之前好...害，说多了都是泪奔。这样的例子真的屡见不鲜了。
其实，GRE作文的复习是有技巧的，可不是单纯地背单词、背模板就能得高分的哦！！
你想想：
因为如果Argument考6分满分的话，Issue你就是瞎写，也有2分吧？2+6=8，取平均分，那你的GRE作文至少都有4分了！所以Argument一定要争取满分6分！
更何况，搞定了GRE作文，你才有更多的时间去搞阅读和填空！
之前已经给大家发过第一篇和第二篇啦，今天是第三篇的训练哦：
The following appeared in a memo to the board of the Grandview Symphony.
"The city of Grandview has provided annual funding for the Grandview Symphony since the symphony's inception ten years ago. Last year the symphony hired an internationally known conductor, who has been able to attract high-profile guest musicians to perform with the symphony. Since then, private contributions to the symphony have doubled and attendance at the symphony's concerts-in-the-park series has reached new highs. Now that the Grandview Symphony is an established success, it can raise ticket prices. Increased revenue from larger audiences and higher ticket prices will enable the symphony to succeed without funding from the city government."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
要求：
1）完整写首段+主体段每段首句；
2）首段需要和主体段每段首句内容对应（尽量即可）；
3） 结尾段不做要求。
参考答案
第一步：找到结论和支持结论的论据。

Instruction 类型：Evidence
第二步：确定写作切入点
可以针对捐助翻倍、出场率暴增各写一段，针对涨票价带来的影响写一段。结合 Evidence 的 instructions，
应该用“我们需要……的信息”之类的话语来表述对逻辑漏洞的攻击。
第三步：根据 instructions，依照模板，写首段和主体段第一句。本题具体展开的可能性较多
According to the memo to the board of the Grandview Symphony, the symphony can succeed without governmental funding, as private contributions have doubled and attendance at a certain series has reached new highs. We need to closely examine evidence regarding the private contributions, attendance situations of different events, and the potential influence brought by the price raise.
To begin with, we need more information concerning the private contributions. We need to know about the relative importance of the private contributions to the overall financial support. If the private contributions are way less than the public support, its increase does not necessarily make government support replaceable. Additionally，we need to learn about whether the private contribution increase, decrease, or remain the same next year. If the private contributions decrease next year, the symphony will not be capable of self-supporting. A final piece of evidence that we need is whether the elimination of government funding will discourage private contributions. It is likely that private institutions would withdraw their money when they knowthat the government attach little importance to the symphony financially. In brief, we can only evaluate the soundness of the argument after we investigate these issues.
Moreover, we need more evidence about the attendance situations of different events. The argument provides information about the attendance of the concerts-in-the-park series, but we are unaware of the attendance of all the other events of the symphony this year. If it was to find that only the series mentioned in the argument receive substantial attention, it is unlikely that the symphony is making a lot of profits. Equally important is the influence of the government funding. If the government funding is used previously to promote the quality of the event, the event may not be as good as before when the funding gets cancelled. Rather, the cancellation might cause a sharp decline in attendance, making the symphony unable to support itself. Therefore, it is very important that we evaluate the aforementioned information before deciding whether the symphony can self-support. Last but not least, it is very important to know about how sensitive the clients are to the price change and whether the change would affect private contributions. The argument does not provide information about the influence exerted by the price change, making it almost impossible to determine if the symphony would gain enough profits after such change. To resolve this issue, we should first inquire information about the price sensitivity of the clients. If the present price is already at the margin of what the audience could afford, it is unlikely that they would still buy tickets when the price gets raised next year. Under such circumstance, the profits would be influenced negatively. Likewise, whether the change would affect private contributions is something that should be under investigation. It is likely that the private institutions only raise funding for symphony when it offered a low price for audiences. If this is the case, the symphony would lose their support when raising the price. We need to know, therefore, as regards to the influence of price change, so as to decide whether or not the symphony can survive after withdrawing governmental funding.
In conclusion, although the argument appears to be plausible, we need more evidence as aforementioned to evaluate its soundness.
