哈哈哈，看完今天这篇文章你还不会写 GRE Argument 作文，你来打我，我把手寄给你帮你去考试算了！看标题就知道，7天速成作文，咱们一天学习一篇，不然一下子学太多也吸收不过来。
GRE考试中会遇到两道写作题，Argument+Issue，要求考生在30分钟之内各自完成一篇。
于国内考GRE的童鞋来说，GRE写作是所有科目里表现最差的，据ETS官方发布的最新GRE年度报告显示，咱们国内考生GRE写作的平均分是3.1，只超过了全球18%的考生，作文拿满分的概率非常低（当然作文拿6分的大神确实有，但是对于普通考生来说真的是难于上青天）。
于是，很多童鞋在备考GRE作文的时候都会非常迷茫，
不复习吧，写作分数就很有可能成为自己申请的绊脚石；
复习吧，又会消耗大量的时间，还不如多花点时间在Verbal上。
这就导致很多童鞋，在整个GRE备考期间，都在忙着搞阅读词汇，写作几乎是裸考的，结果到了要上“战场”时，都依然不懂得如何快速搞定GRE作文。
最后V和Q都考了325+，但是一看作文gg了：2.5分卧槽？？！!
然后又不得不再考一场GRE，多花一次考试报名费...
最要命的是还要继续来一次要命的GRE复习，还不一定考得比之前好...害，说多了都是泪奔。这样的例子真的屡见不鲜了。
其实，GRE作文的复习是有技巧的，可不是单纯地背单词、背模板就能得高分的哦！！
你想想：
因为如果Argument考6分满分的话，Issue你就是瞎写，也有2分吧？2+6=8，取平均分，那你的GRE作文至少都有4分了！所以Argument一定要争取满分6分！
更何况，搞定了GRE作文，你才有更多的时间去搞阅读和填空！
之前已经给大家发过第一、二、三、四、五、六篇啦，今天已经是最后一篇了哦。学习一定要有一个完整的系统，今天是第七篇的训练哦：（123456可以翻前面的文章查看哦）
题目：
The following was written as a part of an application for a small-business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.
"A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, the proposed new jazz club in Monroe, the C-Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's annual jazz festival last summer; several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe; and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight at 7 P.M. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
要求： 1）完整写首段+主体段每段首句；2）首段需要和主体段每段首句内容对应（尽量即可）；3） 结尾段不做要求。
参考答案
第一步：找到结论和支持结论的论据。

Instruction 类型：Evidence
第二步：确定写作切入点。
本题非常高频，请务必弄熟。
可以针对市场竞争力（competitiveness）、流行性（popularity）和花费 途径（how to spend money）各写一段。流行性值得质疑的点最多，可以扩展写；其他两段稍微短点也 可以。本题切入点较多，请大家自行补充新的思路，合理即可。
第三步：根据 instructions，依照模板，写首段和主体段第一句。本题具体展开的可能性较多
In this loan application, the developers argue that the proposed jazz club C-note would make profit considering the lack of competition, the popularity of Jazz in the Monroe and the study about how jazz fans spend money. We need to collect more evidence about these issues in order to better evaluate the argument.
To begin with, we need more information about whether the proposed jazz club will meet with any competition. While the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away, the jazz fans in Monroe may still go for it if there is highway or subway that allows them to travel conveniently. As such, we need to know if the jazz fans have access to cars and whether there is highway or subway in place. In addition, we also need to know if there is other competition from sources like radio program ‘Jazz Nightly’ or jazz bands that may perform on the streets in Monroe that may threaten the profitability of C-note. Therefore, we need to collect information to better understand how competitive the jazz club is.
Moreover, we need more evidence to decide if Jazz is indeed popular in Monroe and if such popularity can lead to the prosperity of C-note. We need to know how many people among the 100,000 people in the jazz festivals are locals who would go to a jazz club like C-note. Maybe a significant portion of the people in the festival are tourists who are not living in Monroe and will not go to C-note regularly. Or a good number of people found in festivals are schoolchildren who will not have time to go to the club during the school year. Likewise, unless we know for sure the radio listeners who enjoy jazz program would actually go to jazz club, the popularity of Jazz Nightly would not necessarily mean C-note will be attractive as well. Finally, as far as the jazz musicians living in Monroe are concerned, we need to know if their choice to live here has anything to do with the popularity of Jazz at all. Maybe they live here for reasons totally unrelated to Jazz. We need to examine these issues carefully in order to get a more accurate idea of the popularity of Jazz in Monroe.
Last but not least, we need more evidence about how jazz fans in Monroe spend money on Jazz entertainment. The nationwide study is useful only if the jazz fans in Monroe are similar to the samples collected for the study. Therefore, we need to know more about how the samples were collected for the study and the demographic information of jazz fans in Monroe to decide if the study results are relevant. Similarlly, we have to look into how much money a typical jazz fan in Monroe would spend on a jazz club like C-note. Maybe the jazz fans would prefer to spend money on Jazz CDs or related musical instruments. If C-note could not generate enough revenue, it will not make profits.
Overall speaking, to decide whether the proposed C-note club will make profits, we need to collect evidence about the aforementioned issues.
