Eight Basic Principles
1.Use Scrap Paper to Plan Your Essay 来源：考试大
The proctors give you scrap paper for a reason. Use it. Make yourself a rudimentary outline, listing the points you want to make in each paragraph. Ideally, you should know what you want to say and how you want to say it before you write.
2.Don't Obsess Over Your Choice 来源：考试大
Nobody really cares which choice you make. What's important is how well you support the choice you make.
3.Get to the Point来源：考试大
The first sentence should immediately offer a solid endorsement of one choice over the other. Assume that the reader is already familiar with the situation; there's no need to waste time describing the scenario and the alternatives.
4.Use a Clear, Simple Format 来源：考试大
Your essay should be coherent and clear in its reasoning. The more organized your essay is, the more persuasive it will be.
5.Loser's Strengths and Winner's Weaknesses来源：考试大
Recognizing and dealing with possible objections makes your argument that much stronger.
6.Don't Repeat Facts来源：考试大
Try instead to offer an interpretation of the facts in light of the stated criteria.
