Features: Why do postgraduate entrance exam candidates who have passed the vocabulary and grammar stages still fear writing? Why do students with excellent reading skills still struggle with writing? Is it necessary to put in "ten years of effort to sharpen a sword" to write high-scoring essays? These questions deeply trouble candidates, leaving 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 why candidates lose points in writing are threefold: first, poor ability to analyze information from 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. This helps candidates break free from the trap of "only memorizing model essays," rapidly improving their English expression skills, enriching their writing mindset, and ultimately writing 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 step by step. The book offers various writing techniques tailored for postgraduate entrance exam essays—such as rapid process-based writing and breakthrough-style writing—significantly improving candidates' essay skills. Additionally, it includes numerous authentic and excellent sentences and expressions for candidates to memorize and imitate. Remember: "Straighten a crooked pillar must go beyond the mark"—only by applying intense effort to your weak areas can you achieve the desired results.
The Theoretical Research section provides an in-depth analysis of the writing requirements in the "Outline," extending its research with meticulous detail to help candidates better understand the demands and strategies for postgraduate entrance exam essays. It also summarizes past essay topics, dividing them into four major themes for detailed explanation, enabling candidates to apply their knowledge to similar questions. Notably, Chapter 3 of this section, "Process-Based Writing," is a unique writing technique created by the author through 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 analyses of postgraduate entrance exam essay topics from 1992 to 2007. Each year's topic is explained through sections such as [Topic Analysis and Solution], [Core Vocabulary], [Sentence Building], [First Draft], [Turning Gold from Stone], [Golden Templates], [Structural Review], [Fluent Writing], and [Post-Essay Reflection], allowing candidates to gradually grasp the essence of the real exams and approach the actual test conditions. Additionally, this section includes fifteen hot-topic essays selected by the author, offering forward-thinking content to expand candidates' writing scope and enhance their confidence.
The Accumulation and Improvement section selects outstanding sentences, sentence structures, quotes, and proverbs from over a hundred excellent essays, providing candidates with material for memorization and imitation. In reality, writing is about sentence construction, and Chinese candidates often lack this skill. Many candidates complain, "I can't even write a single sentence." This section specifically addresses the problem of "not being able to write." Candidates are encouraged to break free from the habit of "high expectations but low execution" and to write high-quality sentences one by one with diligence.
We have strived 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 wishing all readers of this book to conquer the exam and transcend life!
