最重要的就是平常要多多的积累，很多考生在GRE的作文中拿高分，拿满分，当然他们不一定是全部都引用了名人名言，他们也有可能是通过自己的逻辑思维，博得满堂彩。但是你阅读那些非常之牛人的文章时，不难发现他们的文章只要引用了名人名言，这些名人名言就一定能够让整篇文章 “亮”起来，或者说让整篇文章看起来很COOL!那么这些名人名言从哪里来呢?平常多看看《Fortune》、《Time》、《National Geographic》等杂志，快速浏览。看到好的事例，好的语句，把它们摘录下来，作为写作文可以用的素材。只要看到漂亮的句子就记下来。时间长了，头脑里的语料库自然就形成了。这些语料一定是原汁原味的英语，“地道地输入，写作时才能地道地输出”。 GRE满分作文的牛人张宁说，他在作文第二段引用了《克林顿自传》中的内容;第三段引用了《美丽人生》的主人公约翰·那什的演讲发言;第四段引用了布什在“哥伦比亚”号宇宙飞船失事后的悼词演讲。有英语老师讲评说，文章如此衔接连贯、与众不同，地道地“输出美国人喜闻乐见的英语”，得高分正在意料之中。下面简单列举一些较好的名人名言。
There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb of gaining its numinous summits. (Karl Marx, German revolutionary)
The world can be changed by man"s endeavor, and that this endeavor can lead to something new and better .No man can sever the bonds that unite him to his society simply by averting his eyes. He must ever be receptive and sensitive to the new; and have sufficient courage and skill to novel facts and to deal with them. (Franklin Roosevelt, American President)
"You find out who your friends are. Some people didn"t have much to do with me when I was down. I"ve got a long memory." (Lanny Wadkins)
