【正文】 red. Nothing is left undone. In this case there are many different specialists to meet the general goal of the mittee.When you take into account that a specialist contributes only a small part of the generalist aspect, it seems ridiculous to say that specialists are overrated. The generalists looks to the specialists any time they need help or clarification on their broad aspect. Specialists and generalists are part of the same system, so if a specialist is overrated, then so is a generalist.COMMENTARYThis is an adequate response to the topic. After a somewhat confusing attempt to define specialists in the introductory paragraph, the writer presents a pertinent example (the special education teacher) to illustrate the importance of specialists. The example dominates the essay and contributes positively to the overall score of 4.The second example, how a mittee works, is less persuasive. However, it does seem to help clarify the writer39。s definition of general as an umbrella term meaning the total collection of what specialists know about a topic.Although the writer39。s views about the relationship between generalist and specialist are unusual, they do bee clear in the conclusion of the essay. Yet, these ideas are not developed in depth or with enough logical control to earn a score higher than 4.The writing is generally error free. There are few problems in sentence structure, grammar, and usage, although the phrasing is at times imprecise and wordy. Overall, this essay displays clearly adequate control of the elements of written English.SAMPLE4 (score 3)To quote the saying, Jack of all trades, master of none, would be my position on the statement. I feel specialists in all areas of knowledge lead to a higher standard of living for everyone. Specializing in different areas allows us to use each others talents to the highest level and maximize potential. As an example, if a person required brain surgery, would they rather have a brain surgeon or a general practitioner doing the work? Clearly a specialist would do the better job and give the patient a chance at a better life.A university education starts by laying the groundwork for general knowledge but then narrows down to a specific field. General knowledge and a broad prospective are important, but if there was no focus on specific areas, our overall knowledge as a population would be seriously lessened.Another example of specialists not being overated would be international trade. Not every nation can provide for themselves. They need to get products and ideas from other parts of the world because they are better at providing them. This allows for a growing economy if two different nations can provide each other with two different products. If one country can produce oranges better than another, it should trade the oranges for the fish that it can not produce. If generalizing was the normal thing to do and both countries tried to produce all kinds of products, the countries would probably survive, but not have the standard of living they presently have.COMMENTARYThis essay takes a position that specialists are important and necessary but exhibits problems with development and use of examples.The writer39。s position is made clear in the first paragraph and is reinforced with the appropriate, though unoriginal, example of the brain surgeon versus the general practitioner.Paragraph 2, with a second example of an increasingly narrow university education, contains only two sentences and is seriously undeveloped. It does little to advance the writer39。s position.Paragraph 3 offers yet another example, the most developed of all. Unfortunately, this example is not clearly logical. The writer tries to argue that the specialist country (one that is a better producer of oranges) is superior to the generalist country (presumably one that produces oranges as well as other products). This generalist country, the writer tells us, would be inferior to the other. This conclusion does not emerge logically from the writer39。s argument, and it seems to be at odds with everyday reality.Although language is used with some imprecision throughout the essay, the writer39。s meaning is not obscured. The main reasons for the score of 3 are the lack of sufficient development and inappropriate use of examples.SAMPLE5 (score 2)In the situation of health I feel that specialists are very important. For example if a person has heart problems, choose a heart specialist over a genral medicine Dr. However if a person is having a wide range of syptoms, perhaps choose a Dr. with a wide range of experience might be more helpful.It also depends on the type of problem you are having. For example I would not suggest taking a troubled child to a theorpist who specializes in marriage problems. In some cases have a specialists helps to insure that you are getting the best possibly treatment. On the other hand dealing with a person who has a wide range of experience may be able to find different ways of dealing with a particular problem.Since the quotation did not state exactely what type of specialist we are dealing with it is also hard to determine the importance of having a specialist is. For example the could be health or problems with a car, or basically anything else. I feel that this information should not have been left out. I guess the bottom line is that I feel sometimes a specialist is very important.COMMENTARYThis is a seriously flawed response to the topic. The essay argues in favor of specialists, but neither the reasons nor the examples are persuasive. The example of not taking a troubled child to see a theropist who specializes in marriage problems is both simplistic and off the mark since it differentiates between two specialists, not between a generalist and a specialist.The sentences are so poorly formed and phrased
