LSAT Writing 유형분석
Writing
주어진 주제에 대하여 30 분내에 두 페이지 정도의 에세이를 쓰는 section이다. 제한된 시간 내에 문제점을 정리하고 구상하여 논리적으로 요령 있게 하나의 완성된 Essay를 써야 한다. 이는 채점이 되는 것이 아니라 각 학교로 보내져 입학 사정 시 참고자료가 된다. 에세이에 얼마만큼의 비중을 두느냐는 각 학교마다 다르다. 대개 두 가지 입장 중에서 하나를 선택해 그것을 뒷받침해주는 단순한 구조이므로 시험 전주에 한 두 번 연습해보는 것으로 충분하다.
Sample Question
Dr. Elaine Costa, an archaeologist, has the opportunity to participate in one of two archaeological digs and must choose between the two. Write and argument for her choosing one option over the other, keeping in mind that the following two criteria: →Dr. Costa wants to achieve prominence in her field. →Dr. Costa wants to have autonomy in her work. The first excavation is in an area of known archaeological significance abroad, and although it is not certain that the dig will yield anything for Dr. Costa, if it does yield something it is likely to be an import!!ant find. This archaeological zone receives more than a million tourists a year who are attracted by its historic import!!ance and architectural grandeur, and even at this late date exciting discoveries can still be made. The dig is already well underway and Dr. Costa's role would be limited to serving as a member of the excavation team, though she would have almost complete control over the part of the excavation to which she is assigned. There would be several prominent archaeologists at the site with whom she would be able to collaborate. The second excavation is at a local site, where Dr. Costa would serve as site director. The dig is sure to produce finds, but they would probably be less import!!ant than the finds that the first dig could yield. She would be the sole professional at the site, overseeing volunteers and students, with the responsibility of directing the project from start to finish. Dr. Costa would have the freedom to structure the dig in the way that suited her best, although her work would be subject to occasional review and approval by officials form the agency that is funding the dig. The end of the excavation would not by any means be the end of the archeological investigation; afterward, she would be able to analyze the collected finds, the plans, and al the deposit information recorded during the fieldwork for publication in a professional journal. |
