上一讲(Analyze an Issue的第3讲)，我们学习了GRE写作中Analyze an Issue Task中颇具难度的一种指令：

　　Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.

　　很明显，这种指令与“是非判断类”(详 Analyze an Issue Task的第1、2讲)的主要区别在于：

　　* 这个指令要求我们充分理解我们的敌方观点并给出the most compelling reasons and/or examples。说明对敌方观点的探讨我们也要稍微真诚且深入一点，(注意到上面的reasons and examples了么)，一定不能一笔带过。

　　* 再者，在Issue Task中，敌方观点是允许“诡辩”的，这取决于笔者的语言能力和思考高度。

　　什么意思呢?比如说题干中出现了明显的比较概念，即天平孰重孰轻的问题。那么A>B的敌方观点就可以是：A

　　最后一种不推荐大多数学生使用，因为其涉及到的philosophical thoughts不是30分钟可以论证清楚的。简言之，敌方观点写的好，issue高分无烦恼。

　　* 在认识到我们反方的想法和理由之后，以知己知彼的方式论证我们自己的立场;那么这一块驳论的重要性就无需笔者赘述了。

　　记住，要点对点的去回击，气力消耗也要task-based and oriented.

　　我们以一个题目为例：

　　In most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.

　　就这个statement，发现了么，题干中内含的方程等式其实就是“A>B”。不容分说，笔者的立场为“不同意”。

　　于是乎，笔者的敌方观点就可以是“知识与想象力同等重要”或“知识比想象力重要”。

　　笔者以后者思路做了个的梗概及大体写作演示，如下：

　　[Introduction]

　　I argue knowledge is more important than imagination in most walks of life and academic realms, because knowledge not only is the very prerequisite for developing imagination but also demonstrates the unique objectivity and inheritance that imagination does not possess.

　　【本段解析】

　　刨去脑暴及plan the essay的时间，body paragraphs明显更重要，那你觉得introduction还需要写得多精彩?

　　简单快捷即可，不要陷入铺陈背景讲废话的泥沼。

　　[Body Para. 1]

　　论证思路：好好来扒一扒笔者的“敌方观点”。

　　The claim of ‘imagination matters’ can indeed be justified. Since it helps people detach themselves from the shackles of reality and enables them to appreciate stuff from a completely brand-new perspective, it is more likely that people can make more breakthroughs in their own fields and professions owning to the injection of new blood and vigor. This is particularly conspicuous in the field of literature and art, and some examples are enumerated as follows. In Last Supper, without imagination, it would be hard and even impossible for Leonardo Da Vinci to vividly delineate the scene in which Jesus keeps unperturbed while Judas grows uneasy and scared when holding several coins earned at the price of being a traitor. Besides, in Matrix, had it not been for the incomparable imagination of the director, the macro-empire of Zion could not have been existed, and we of course cannot appreciate the surging movement of machine troops. Likewise, the field of literature and art also demands extraordinary imagination, among which Van Gogh and Claude Monet are renowned for their impressionism and mixture of light and shadow. This all mirrors the crucial role imagination plays.

　　【本段解析】

　　这个“知彼”的讨论要充分且深入才能体现出什么叫做“most compelling reasons and examples”。然后我们再去反驳。

　　反驳的时候要注意：要有针对性，要去针对敌方观点在这个方面的漏洞去反驳。切记，考场上不用像笔者这样去“堆”例子，因为例子太“吃”知识储备了，你懂的。

　　[Body Para. 2]

　　论证思路：攻击“敌方观点”。

　　Although imagination depicts the unknown world for us, playing a decisive role in many fields, the origin of imagination is rooted in the existing knowledge. It is true that Da Vinci has never been to the scene, but his description of Jesus and his disciples is based on the study of mountains of materials such as the Holy Scripture. In the case of Matrix, no matter how fantastic the imagination is, if the film is to persuade audiences to believe that the plat may happen realistically, it is necessary to seek theoretical support from the existing physics knowledge units. For example, what can make a mountain suspend on the planet? The answer may be attributed to the loss of gravity or the magnetic field stuff. Even if Van Gogh succeeds at the first attempt in accomplishing the famous Starry Night, he must have experienced many nights when he carefully observes the track and shape of these stars, which are all the basic knowledge in this physical world. So, even in the field of literature and art, the existing knowledge is the cornerstone of all creation and the cradle of imagination.

　　【本段解析】

　　笔者再次强调：反驳的时候要有针对性，要去具体指出敌方观点“疏忽”了什么，我们再去反驳。

　　比如这一段，即使上文把想象力夸上了天堂，我们也要尽力将其拉下地狱。

　　[Body Para. 3]

　　论证思路：深入探讨知识具备的客观性和传承性，此处略去。

　　[Conclusion]

　　转述introduction的主要论点即可，此处略去。
