Features: The writing section of the postgraduate entrance exam English is a source of headaches for many candidates and one of the parts where the most points are lost. With limited time and high pressure, candidates often struggle to start writing when faced with the essay questions. Even if they manage to write, they frequently encounter mental blocks and find it difficult to express their thoughts clearly, as if giving birth to a difficult child. Some candidates write freely, relying solely on their instincts, only to end up far off-topic. Others put in great effort to write well but end up with numerous errors and disorganized logic. The quality of candidates' postgraduate entrance exam essays varies widely. This book is divided into five chapters. Based on the requirements of the postgraduate entrance exam essay types, it is divided into two parts: the "Long Essay" section and the "Short Essay" section. The "Long Essay" section introduces the requirements and techniques for word choice, sentence structure, planning, layout, and rhetorical devices, as well as the writing techniques for picture and chart essays. The "Short Essay" section introduces the writing methods for various application essays as specified in the outline, providing numerous practical examples and universal sentence patterns. Additionally, this book offers sample essays from the postgraduate entrance exam (true questions) from 1998 to 2006 and 30 preparation sample essays. The book highlights the explanation of picture and chart essays, as well as notes and letter essays, to accommodate the recent writing styles of postgraduate entrance exam essays. It also provides explanations and introductions for other types of essays as specified in the outline. The appendices at the end of the book are of great reference value for writing and are recommended for candidates to memorize and apply.
