Discarding the post-mortem analysis of test questions, this book starts from the actual problem-solving operations of candidates, based on their current English proficiency, to tell you: improving English ability cannot be achieved overnight, but improving test scores can be done with a method! After introducing an overview of postgraduate entrance exam essays, this book systematically explains the essay writing in three parts—Abilities, Techniques, and Practice.
In Chapter 2, the "Abilities" section, from the perspective of words and sentences, helps readers truly understand how to improve writing skills through ability enhancement. The second part of this chapter specifically addresses the major challenges candidates face in writing—how to construct beautiful sentences. It provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of how to write complex, dynamic, and varied sentences.
Chapter 3, the "Techniques" section, focuses primarily on explaining the five major question types of the exam. Especially noteworthy is the "conceptual framework" of postgraduate entrance exam essays, which is the essence of the book and distinguishes it from other similar publications. This section provides a detailed explanation of the changes in essay writing for the 2005 exam, with a dedicated section on application letter writing. The Chinese templates, or "conceptual frameworks," in this chapter are also the essence of the book and set it apart from others. Candidates should study this part carefully.
The final chapter, "Practice," compiles past 10 years of postgraduate entrance exam questions, offering a complete process from conceptualization to writing and evaluation. This serves as a practical application of the techniques discussed in Chapter 3. It is worth noting that after analyzing the past 10 years of questions, the book also provides several examples of application letters specifically for the new situation in 2005.
We believe that by mastering the methods introduced in this book and practicing extensively, candidates will not only achieve satisfactory results in the exam but also enhance their overall English proficiency.
