GRE作文是中国学生比较头痛的，经常准备很多时间最后还是只得到3.5。我之所以得到6分，个人认为我的文风比较淳朴扎实，有科学性，写的思路比较广(正、反、特)，字数也比较多(I800+、A700+)。
Moreover, as students grow into working adults, practicing the basic values of fairness and
respect they learned as students serves them well in their jobs. At the workplace these values
manifest themselves in a worker's ability to cooperate, compromise, understand various
viewpoints, and appreciate the rights and duties of coworkers, supervisors, and subordinates.
This ability cannot help but serve any worker's career goals, as well as enhancing overall
workplace productivity.
Admittedly, values and behavioral standards specific to certain religions are best left to

parents and churches. After all, by advocating the values and teachings of any particular
religion public educators undermine our basic freedom of religion. However, by exposing
students to various religious beliefs, educators promote the values of respect and tolerance
when it comes to the viewpoints of others. Besides, in my observation certain fundamental
values--such as compassion, virtue, and humility--are common to all major religions. By
appreciating certain fundamental values that we should all hold in common, students are more
likely to grow into adults who can work together at the workplace toward mutually agreed-upon
goals.
In sum, only when educators help students develop their own principles for living, and when
they instill certain fundamental values, do young people grow into successful working adults.
Although there will always be a need to train people for specific jobs, in our technological
society where knowledge advances so rapidly, employers and job training programs are better
equipped to provide this function leaving formal educators to equip students with a moral
compass and ballast to prevent them from being tossed about aimlessly in a turbulent
vocational sea.

"The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men
and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines."
The speaker claims that the character of a society's heroes and heroines ('heroes' hereafter)
reflects the character of that society. I tend to disagree. In my observation a society chooses
as its heroes not people who mirror the society but rather people whose character society's
members wish they could emulate but cannot--for want of character. Nevertheless, I concede
that one particular type of hero----the sociopolitical hero--by definition mirrors the character of
the society whose causes the hero champions.
First consider the sports hero, whom in my observation society chooses not merely by virtue
of athletic prowess. Some accomplished athletes we consider heroes because they have
overcome significant obstacles to achieve their goals. For example, Lance Arm-strong was not
the first Tour de France cycling champion from the U.S.; yet he was the first to overcome a
life-threatening illness to win the race. Other accomplished athletes we consider heroes
because they give back to the society which lionize them. As Mohammed Ali fought not just for
boxing rifles but also for racial equality, so baseball hero Mark McGuire fights now for
disadvantaged children, while basketball hero Magic Johnson fights for AIDS research and
awareness. Yet, do the character traits and resulting charitable efforts of sports heroes reflect
similar traits and efforts among our society at large? No; they simply reveal that we admire
these traits and efforts in other people, and wish we could emulate them but for our own
personal failings. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（49） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
