I DID SINGLE OUT 15 TWE TOPICS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT REGARD THEM AS ALLEGED
PROPHECY. WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF RESEARCHING, AND COULD DRAW SOME INFERENCES
FROM SEVERAL LATEST RUBRICS. NEVERTHELESS, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US MIGHT
AND ALMOST MUST HAVE REACHED DISTINCTIVE VERSION. AND NOBODY DARE OR IS
ABLE TO SAY HE KNOW WHICH TOPIC WILL BE THE NEXT COMING RUBRIC. IN FACT,
SUCH PROCLAIM USUALLY IS NOT ONLY UNNECESSARY, BUT ALSO UNRELIABLE. EVEN
THOUGH I HAVE MY OWN JUDGMENT, I WOULD RATHER CALL THOSE 15 TOPICS THE
REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE.
THE FACT IS, OUR RESPONSES TO TWE TOPICS TYPICALLY FALL INTO THREE
DISTINCTIVE ESSAY TYPES: 1) SIMPLE EXPOSITORY ESSAY; 2) COMPARE / CONTRAST
ESSAY; 3) ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE INCLUDES 7
ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY TOPICS, 5 COMPARE/CONTRAST ESSAY TOPICS, AND 3 SIMPLE
EXPOSITORY ESSAY TOPICS RESPECTIVELY.
THE MOST OBVIOUS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWE AND OTHER KINDS OF WRITING TEST WE
HAVE EXPERIENCED IS THAT WE WILL RESPOND TO THE RUBRIC THAT WE HAVE ALREADY
KNOWN ? ANYWAY, IT IS AMONG THE PUBLICIZED OFFICIAL TOPIC POOL. ON THIS
WISE, WE WOULD BETTER TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY OF
PREARRANGEMENT. HOWEVER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNREALISTIC FOR MOST OF EXAMINEES
TO WRITE EACH AND EVERY TOPIC IN THE POOL BEFORE THE TEST DATE, FOR WE ALL
HAVE LIMITED TIME, WHICH ETS KNOWS UNERRINGLY ? THAT'S WHY ETS ARRANGE
THOSE TOPICS IN TO JUMBLE, RATHER THAN PUT THEM WITH ORDER.
NOW, AS IS CLEARLY STATED, THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF THE REPRESENTATIVE
SAMPLE IS FOR THE SAKE OF SAVING TIME. THOSE PRUDENT TEST TAKERS SHOULD
BEST DISCUSS THOSE TOPICS IN DETAIL, AND TRY TO THINK ACADEMICALLY. ONCE
THOSE SAMPLE TOPICS ARE WELL DISCUSSED, THE REST OF THE TOPICS IN THE
OFFICIAL POOL ARE READY TO GRASP. IN FACT THOSE TOPICS COULD FORTUNATELY BE
CATEGORIZED EITHER BY TYPE, GENRE, THEME, OR BY KEY WORDS, THEY ARE ALL
SIMILAR.
HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS:
1. THE MORE LOGICALLY AND REASONABLY THE IDEA IS ORGANIZED, THE MORE
SYNTACTIC AND GRAMMAR ERRORS ARE ACCEPTABLE, THAT IS, THE LESS THOSE ERRORS
AFFECT THE FINAL SCORE.
2. DO NOT USE OVER-COMPLEX SENTENCE STRUCTURE. 2 OR 3 LONG SENTENCES TO
SHOW THE ABILITY OF SYNTACTIC SKILL ARE ENOUGH. DO NOT SPLIT THE SUBJECT
AND THE CORRESPONDING PREDICATE TOO OFTEN, OR MAKE THEM TOO DISTANT. AFTER
ALL OUR WRITINGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE CLEAR, NOT TO BE CONFUSED.
3. DO NOT USE COMMON TRANSITION WORDS SUCH AS "FIRSTLY, SECONDLY, FINALLY"
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARAGRAPH. ACTUALLY THESE DEVICES ARE USED TO LIKE
SENTENCES WITHIN THE PARAGRAPH. DO CONNECT YOUR PARAGRAPH WITH HARD DEVICES
SUCH AS "REPETITION", "LOGIC ORDER" ETC. DO RESTATE YOUR OPINION AT THE END
OF ESSAY, WHICH MEANS A WELL ENCLOSED STRUCTURE.
4. DO KEEP SENTENCES IN BALANCE, ESPECIALLY AFTER THAN, AS, PERHAPS YOU
NEED ADD THE WORD THAT OF/ THOSE OF…
5. DO DIVERSIFY VERBS [ARGUE; MAINTAIN; CLAIM; BELIEVE… NOT I THINK…,
THEY THINK…, AND OTHERS THINK…] AND ADJECTIVES [IMPORTANT, ESSENTIAL,
INDISPENSABLE…]; BUT DO NOT DIVERSIFY NOUN PHRASES.
6. BE CAREFUL WHEN USING PHRASAL VERBS AND IDIOMS. USE THEM UNLESS YOU ARE
SURE ABOUT THEIR USAGES.
7. REPLACE "YOU" "YOUR" WITH "WE" "OUR"
8. DO NOT USE CLICHES AS ARGUMENTS.
GOOD LUCK, MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
