GRE草木也知愁的素材积累

此篇适合：政治类（同WWII三巨头联系）、历史类（同WWII联系）、国际类、社会类、行为类、抽象类题目

相距比较远，需要引申的范围：教育（关于GI教育立法引申）、科技

这里插播一段：

例子要找精良的，一个例子就可以cover掉近六成题目才叫爽快，而且例子要深挖，永远注意一点——深度>广度>>泛度。

文章逻辑的贯穿，不仅仅要通过ideas，如果做得好，一个素材的不同角度不同层面也可以完成烘托一个topic。如果怕这样会被认为知识面单一，就太吹毛求疵了，总共六百余字，你写的再多也不过四五个浅浅的例子。AW看的是analytical，logical。rater想要的是一个acceptableinsight。

0810G备考之初我就做过18个黄金素材，每个都可以适用于六成以上的题目，每个素材都可以独立支撑起一篇文章，同时还可以18个之间环环相扣。

在这里分享给大家几个淘汰下来的（0910G我也要考，需要自我保护一下啦~不过考完之后会悉数奉送）

"Perhapsnoformofgovernment,"saidLordBryce,"needsgreatleaders（对于题库敏感的同学看到这个要心跳一下了，很fit。所以，搜集例子之前，要保证对题库全局足够的熟悉，我的建议是先看4遍题库，具体看题库的方法请看diesinflames组作业安排对应部分）asmuchasdemocracy."Fordemocracyisnotself-executing.Ittakesleadershiptobringdemocracytolife.Greatdemocraticleadersarevisionaries.Theyhaveaninstinctfortheirnation'sfuture,acoursetosteer,aporttoseek.Throughtheircapacityforpersuasion,theywintheconsentoftheirpeopleandcallforthdemocracy'sinnerresources.（这个描述你行吗？不行就学下去，不过说实在的，看我这个帖子的人太多太多了，如果纸背照搬会会雷同，没有啥所谓的"俺之抄三分之一或者一半就可以"，引用最合理比喻，所有小概率乘以庞大的国内人口基数都会很大很大，所以记住，抄我的，必定雷同。同时请永远记住一点，我在所有帖子中，都只会点拨。核心原则是【授人以渔】，学会了如何"钓鱼"之后，一定要自己去钓才行）
