			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The essays for GMAT are 30 minutes each.</p>
<p>What you need to remember is:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nobody cares what your opinion really is</strong></li>
<li><strong>Be superficial</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Tips &amp; tricks:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When an entire paragraph contradicts with another use expressions like: on the one hand/on the other hand, the traditional view/the new view.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When you support the main idea use: for example, to illustrate, for instance, because.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When you use a second argument to support the main idea: furthermore, in addition, similarly, just as, also, moreover.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The most important idea that you write must be introduced by one of the following words: surely, truly, undoubtedly, clearly, certainly, indeed, as a matter of fact, in fact, most important.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The conclusion starts with: therefore, in summary, consequently, hence, in conclusion, in short.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">When you talk about the opinion that you argue against, start with: admittedly, certainly, obviously, undoubtedly, one cannot deny that, true, granted, of course, to be sure, it could be argued that.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Before starting to write, at the analysis of an argument essay for GMAT, you must read the text carefully and identify the assumptions.</p>
<p>Paragraphs (as in the post about <a href="http://www.prepcoursegmat.com/analysis-of-an-issue-for-gmat/" target="_blank">analysis of an issue</a>):</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write the argument (copy/paste) and point the three weak points you identified.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write the first weak point and write one reason ore more reasons why it is not true.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write the second weak point and write one reason ore more reasons why it is not true.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write the third weak point and write one reason ore more reasons why it is not true.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write again the three weak points and say that because of those the argument is not “entirely logically persuasive”.</li>
</ol>
<p>As an example:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The argument that … is based on … but omits certain important concerns that must be addressed to make this argument logically persuasive. The declaration that follows the explanation of what … simply explain …. This alone does not support the main argument.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First the argument assumes that … But …</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Second the argument never concentrates on … Although …</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Finally, the argument also does not deal with … However …</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Thus the argument is not completely persuasive. The argument would have been more comprehensive and compelling if …</li>
</ol>
