Why do postgraduate entrance exam candidates, after passing the vocabulary and grammar hurdles, still fear writing? Why do students with excellent reading skills still struggle with writing? Is it necessary to put in "a ten-year effort to forge a sword" to write high-scoring essays? These questions deeply trouble candidates, making them restless in the "fortress of writing," despite their hard work yielding minimal results. To solve the problem, one must first identify its root cause. The main reasons for candidates' significant score loss in writing are threefold: first, poor ability to analyze information in essay prompts; second, weak English sentence expression skills; and third, a lack of rich writing imagination. Based on this, the author of this book has created a scientific learning system, providing detailed and thorough explanations and guidance targeting candidates' weakest areas. It helps candidates break free from the "just memorizing model essays" trap, rapidly improve their English expression skills, enrich their writing mindset, and ultimately write high-quality postgraduate entrance exam essays, winning this crucial battle.
This book is divided into three parts: Theoretical Research, Practical Drills, and Accumulation and Improvement. These sections are arranged according to the preparation habits of most candidates, progressing systematically and gradually. The book offers various writing techniques tailored for postgraduate entrance exam essays—such as rapid process writing, breakthrough-style writing, etc.—which will significantly enhance candidates' writing skills. It also includes numerous authentic and expressive sentences and phrases for candidates to memorize and imitate. Remember: "Straighten a crooked pillar must go beyond the mark"—only by applying fierce and decisive effort to one's weaknesses can the desired results be achieved.
The Theoretical Research section provides an in-depth analysis of the writing requirements in the Syllabus, extending its research with meticulous elaboration to help candidates better understand the demands and strategies for postgraduate entrance exam essays. Additionally, it summarizes past essay questions into four major themes for detailed instruction, enabling candidates to apply their knowledge to similar topics with ease. Notably, Chapter 3 of this section, "Process Writing," is a unique writing technique created by the author based on years of teaching experience. It is simple, easy to learn, and highly practical, especially effective for postgraduate entrance exam essays. Candidates are encouraged to focus on this chapter.
The Practical Drills section provides thorough and detailed analysis of postgraduate entrance exam essay topics from 1991 to 2004. Each year's question is explained through sections such as [Topic Analysis], [Core Vocabulary], [Sentence Building], [First Draft], [Polishing], [Golden Templates], [Structural Review], [Creative Writing], and [Post-Essay Reflections], allowing candidates to deeply grasp the real exam questions and approach the actual test conditions as closely as possible. Furthermore, this section includes fifteen hot-topic essay prompts prepared for candidates. These articles are carefully selected by the author, highly forward-looking, and can help candidates expand their writing scope and handle topics with greater ease.
The Accumulation and Improvement section selects winning sentences, sentence structures, quotes, and proverbs from over a hundred excellent model essays for candidates to memorize and imitate. In fact, writing is about writing sentences, and Chinese candidates often lack strong sentence expression skills. Many candidates complain, "I can't even write a single sentence." This section is designed to solve the problem of "not being able to write." We hope candidates can truly overcome the habit of "high expectations but low execution" and instead focus on writing high-quality sentences one by one.
We have fought for so long only to achieve the exhilarating joy of today. The postgraduate entrance exam is both a long and short journey. We hope candidates can approach it with a mindset of joy and transcendence. Only by enjoying and transcending the exam process can one truly win it.
Sincerely wish all readers of this book to conquer the exam and transcend life!
