Thanks, oustone85. As long as I can get above 4.5, i will not bother to practise anymore.

Thanks, Jallen, I already done so. Chinese's guide is the AWA bible

Any more idea? Can someone give me a rough score?

Actually 4.5 is not that bad either! As suggested by others just use a lot of swtich words such as hence, therefore, however, alternatively, moreover etc. Also use words like persuasive, plausible, laden with bad assumptions, logical fallacies, etc.

Do not hesitate to address the ISSUE from both sides but do take a clear position in your conclusion section.
Practice in actual GMATPrep screen to be more comfortable at the test
Do NOT put more effort in this section than it deserves. Be confident and you will be fine.
Once you done with this section do not think about back and during the break remind yourself that in the coming quantitative section after first few questions you will not spend too much time on any one question. Practice exhaustively this technique.

Good luck!

...yes and watch for typos and grammatical errors ("arthor," "compeition", "an survey...").

I understand English may not be your native language, but you shouldn't lose out a point or half on things like that. Is this AWA topic from the OG? All possible AWA topics are in the OG, but I'm not suggesting you go through each of them. Just scan a few of them to mentally make up a list of talking points.

With a little bit of effort, you will surely manage a 4.5. You do need to put in a bit more effort however. I would say what you posted above was around a 4.0.

I would personalize it a little more, use good verbal skills. I got a 5.5 on my AWA and you want everything to flow together. The main thing they base it on is good grammar and specificity and effectiveness of your points made, but I would try to make them a little smoother, which can boost your score some. Overall you would prob get a 5.0 or so I think. you dont really have to be an author to score well, but I would say speak more directly to your audience, but be mindful of using too many Is.

Also use the lead in model for your introductory paragraphs. Say a little background information or use referse thinking ( where you lead off saying good things about something, and then in your thesis statement support your real conclusion, which contradicts your lead in statement). Organization is pretty key to doing well on the AWA and having a good thesis statement and topic sentences is very important, which I didnt see in your examples
