Hi Guys and Gals,
I put together a great template to writing AWAs. In fact, it was the most successful part of my GMAT studying. If you want to read the entire article, you can see it here: https://carlolivieri.com/gmat-how-to-sco ... -your-awa/
And if all you want to see is the template, here it is below:
ANALYSIS OF AN ARGUMENT - Find the logical flaws in the reasoning of an argument
Introduction (~four sentences)
Sentence 1: "While a potential solution ... restate argument here..., the author fails to provide sufficient evidence or sound logic to validate his or her conclusion."
Sentence 2: "First, ... summarize your first argument here."
Sentence 3: "Second, ... summarize your second argument here."
Sentence 4: "Third, ... summarize your third argument here."
Argument #1, Argument #2, Argument #3 (four+ sentences each)
Sentence 1: Introduce the argument flaw.
Sentence 2 : Clarify the stance against the flaw.
Sentence 3: Provide possible ramifications for the argument flaw in question.
Sentence 4 : Present a more adequate solution.
Conclusion (~four sentences)
Sentence 1: "In summary, the author must better support the link between ... restate argument here... , the author fails to provide sufficient evidence or sound logic to validate his or her conclusion."
Sentence 2: "Had the author... provide an example of what facts the author should have offered."
Sentence 3:"Without this information, the reader is not well enough informed to reach a substantiated conclusion regarding ...topic at hand."[/url]
