communication of information のセクションで高得点を得るには、あなたの主張を裏付ける必要があります。このレッスンでは、あなたの立場を弁護する証拠の使い方を学習します。

Introduction

There are two scores on the G.B.C. test that are directly related to how you support your argument:

  1. Could not defend positions effectively; and
  2. Failed to use supporting evidence.

Using evidence effectively will ensure that you improve both of these scores.

Warm Up

Let's review the main types of evidence. Discuss with your teacher.

Irrelevant or insufficient evidence will make your argument flimsy and weak. Which kinds of evidence are more persuasive?

Language

First let's think about the difference between evidence and data. How would you distinguish between the two?

Now let's think about a G.B.C.-style question:

Is your hometown a good place to live?

What evidence can you use to support your claim?

Practice

Now try answering one of the following questions:

  1. Why should a client choose to use your product/service over a less expensive competitor?
  2. What are the relative economic strengths and weaknesses of Japan and the United States?
  3. Are you satisfied with your government's foreign policy?
