这本书是新东方一位很权威的老师编的 我推荐要考GRE的同学可以看看 里面有题目分析 有范文 也有写作指导之类的 分析得很详细
虽然GRE改成新考试，这本书仍然是最实用的写作范文。其实不只是GRE考试，对很多英语考试来说，它都是不二之选。
GRE北美范文，老师推荐的，个人感觉还行吧。
提供一些思路啊和写作的感觉。但是就是要小心不能照搬，不然会被判抄袭吧
里面的范文经典，慢慢学习gre写作吧。锻炼思维~
该书的范文涵盖广泛，内容丰富，对不考GRE的同学也很有帮助，是一本很好的写作指导性书籍
北美gre范文作文挺多挺经典不错很实用
GRE作文必备，好好写作文
很不错的一本书，虽然GRE已经改革了，有些题目有改动，可是分析作文的思路值得一看，毕竟是官方题库
正好碰到改革，所以北美范文还是老G的，题库不一样了。
不过GRE的思想还是这样，如果有时间看看还是能收获不少的。
这本书的内容不错，即使是不用备考GRE的人，也可以去买一本，对于提高自己的写作能力有很大帮助，还有逻辑思维。
书的质量也很好，纸张神马的都不错哦
GRE官方题库范文很不错，值得拥有！
很有针对性，范文相当好，备考GRE作文的好东西。
这是GRE范文，虽然不是从考场摘取的作文，但专家都认为这里的范文至少都是5.5到6.0之间，因此值得一看，可惜不能直接抄，只能自己参考，自己修改。
我收到的是正版全新的教材，很喜欢，内容也很好，这本书原先叫做北美范文，望与各位GRE中的同学共勉！
官方范文可以用来模仿，熟悉模版，相信GRE一定木有问题！
对GRE的考生,这本书能提高写作水平.
因为想提高GRE的写作能力。但是又没有时间去逛书店。所以想到贵网站。也是因为朋友推荐。拿到的书质量很好。在文字上尚未发现问题。/在送递的过程中也没有什么失误。书在预定的时间内收到。/很好
GRE写作就这本就够了
GRE写作必备，好评
书质量挺好的，很有助于GRE考试的写作部分！值得看看。。
最喜欢这本GRE的写作书了，很地道
还是经典作文书啊~！！但是里面有的不足就是都是安老G的题库写的啊，没有新GRE的解读！
考GRE的人必须买两本书：红宝和官方题库。（其他资料都能下载到的）。快递也挺快，服务也行。
可以用这本书用翻译的方法联系作文，效果很明显，现在开始我的复习计划！很值得买的一本GRE备考书。
作文吧，GRE是需要缜密的逻辑思维的，不像IELTS那么容易。所以，想在一个小时完成两项上等的能代表你已经是个大学毕业有思维能力申请下一步搞科研的CANDIDATE，必须要在这个方面有“专攻”~。愿同志们共勉！杀G
同学推荐的，内容真的不错，虽然我暂时不打算考GRE，只是想为英语演讲比赛和辩论赛搜集材料，但这本书用来收集资料和拓宽视野也是非常不错的，值得一看
当当的服务态度很好，书发的很快，不错！
GRE作文必备，我背了20几篇。这是一种思维的启迪。
三天就送到了，书的质量很好，更主要的是里面的内容很值得借鉴，对写文章帮助很大的，对自己的GRE作文没信心的和需要再加强的，都可以买哦
最好的准备GRE作文的书，没有更经典的
到货还好，因为1111迟了两天尚能接受，别人推荐的刚翻几页，说的很中肯应该是本好书。作文是GRE的难点，希望此书能助我一臂之力
有了这书 只要肯用心背 GRE作文不说满分 也会是相当高的分数了！！！！
这本书帮助我学习GRE练习很有帮助，收获很大。

这本书灰常的不错。强烈推荐GRE都要看
两本书都瞄了几眼。纸张质地都不错。非常好的GRE复习资料，网上推荐也是必备的几本之中的。
这本书就是冲着杜昶旭老师来的 本书取词的中文释义精确 是gre必备词汇书 有代替红宝的潜力
但当当 把我的书着了书角
读后可以培养一下你的批判性思维，有助于gre考试。非常好！
比较系统，对于GRE初期没有各种思路的童鞋来说还是不错的选择。
没有什么好说的，考gre必备吧，看下来很有收获
同学推荐，GRE必备。
老师推荐的，考GRE很有用的。
gre必须参考啊
issue及argument讲解及范文，非常有帮助，值得认真研究~
范文很经典，例子很详尽，尽管有一些题目没有给出范文，上新东方的注意了，老师就找那些没有范文的让你写。很来劲
我看过很多教写作的书,但是个人觉得作用不大.但是看范文就不一样了,可以学习别人的语法,别人的用词,就像有人手把手教你写作文一样.所以很赞!
有写作技巧的分析，范文的分析，最后面提供的两百多篇范文很不错值得学习
Argument部分还是可以借鉴逻辑和逻辑连接词的使用的。
Issue部分不推荐看，和考试差别很大，无论是字数还是内容还是逻辑。
详细讲解了issue和argument，很多例子都可以借用，非常实用~
绝对是不可多得的写作教材，也听很多考G的前辈们提起过。书里面的范文很多，时间紧张的考生可能来不及看，但我觉得精读其中的几篇就有不少的收获了，比如可以提炼一些表达方式、思维的深度等。对于时间充裕的考生，这本书就更应该好好利用了。
这本书可以说基本上没有什么争议，上新东方课的时候，每个老师都很推荐这本书，说这本书很有借鉴意义。
范文虽然是老G的。但是Issue部分还是很有借鉴价值
ISSUE有的范文空理论有点多，中文都看不太懂
新东方的书应该还行吧，虽然还没看
新东方老师推荐的，不错
对新东方的书从来不质疑
新东方著名老师李延隆推荐，我看了下确实不错，而且当当的价格比起他的地方价格都便宜
新东方推荐的书很值得一看
新东方老师推荐的书，很好~
新东方的东西一直是很值得去看的。
书的质量很好，新东方出的很经典~
要比直接去新东方买便宜多了
虽然书上的范文跟目前最新的题库有点出入了已经，但不失为一个学习写AW的经典材料
都是官方范文，应该比较权威吧
传说中的北美范文
印刷纸质都不错
内容就不用重复了吧~
这就是传说中的北美范文，写的的确好，间只有中难以企及的高度。正在努力研读中，推荐
很好，很值得研究。
不知什么时候会有针对新G题库的范文……
这本书很好，对写作文很有帮助
考过的人推荐的，想考作文高分的 多看看吧~
写作方法很好
确实很优惠。
很推荐喜欢辩论，或者怯于与他人辩论的人阅读。
尤其是argument 那块。
好。
好，写作练习必备
主要是想锻炼自己的写作能力，所以买来练习一下。
很正很好
写作的时候诸多参考
读g的好书，但别抄，是一个写作文的好途径
朋友介绍，国内好的写作书不多，这是一本!
看过之后才评价的，是考G必备的书。Issue部分写的极好
虽然说作文的题库不一样了，还是很值得买的
里面有很多的范文以及解析。但是题目顺序可能与官网也不一样，不过书里面给每个题目都把关键字重点标出，基本都能找到。书打印包装都不错。
很难想像没有这本书就去机考的人。。。
研究范文绝对是一条最最高效的捷径！
很不错的一本书~分析官方题库必备~
内容很充实~有很多范文的讲解,对作文题目的理解很有帮助!
老师推荐的，准备当范文研究。
