如何快速破解GRE写作中的instruction？

大家都知道新的GRE考试当中加了instruction这一部分。很多同学对于instruction不以为然。因为有些同学没有按照instruction的要求去写，这样就导致了万年3分，

不信，我们看看3分的一个评分标准：

It does not identify or examine most of the aspects of the argument relevant to the assigned task, although some relevant examination of the argument is present.

我们都知道要identify argument的3个部分（evidence，assumption，conclusion）然后找逻辑错误。但是，不是只找出逻辑错误就行的，我们需要按照instruction要求的去写。

今天我们就看看Argument当中的instruction到底要怎么来处理！

【例题】 

Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

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.

【解析】  

我们先看看这道题的推理图：evidence有3个，assumption有4个，结论是Palean篮子不是Palean独有的。

这道题目很多同学可能会写：

The author assumes that Brim river was broad and deep in ancient time. However, the author makes a false assumption that the river did not change. Therefore, the author needs to substantiate the assumption by proving the Brim River is deep and broad all along.

然而，这道题的instruction是针对evidence类的，所以重点不是分析作者的假设，而是要分析有哪些具体的evidence可能会削弱或加强作者的结论。

所以改过的body段是这样的：

To begin with, the author assumes that the Brim River was deep and broad in ancient time and people can cross it only by boat. (第一句写出作者提出的假设)To evaluate this assumption, the author needs to provide geological evidences about this river during that time. （第二句写作者的问题）Perhaps rivers has changed significantly over the course of centuries due to the influence of climate, environment, and crustal movement. Therefore, there is a possibility that people could cross the river on foot during the dry season.（第三和第四句是反驳和提供其他可能性）Unless the author provideinformation to demonstrate that the Brim River was not a shallow creek and it existed when human made Palean baskets, we cannot be convinced that Palean baskets can only reach Lithos by boat. （第五句小结句）

标黄的部分就符合了instruction的要求。

作者需要给出更多相关的evidence来证明Brim River 过去是深和宽的。

小结句也指出作者需要更多的信息证明作者的论断。
