第一篇:【SAT写作要素】SAT写作666和888的差距就是这9句话
www.xiexiebang.com
常见的写作原文构成要素:
第一段:话题引入(每次都在开头)第二段:主论点(位置灵活)
第三段:论证和论据(一般位于文章中部)第四段:让步(位置灵活且有时不出现)结论(重申主论点,往往在结尾)
以上这些要素,几乎每篇文章都有,唯一的区别是,各个要素在原文中所占篇幅、所处位置会有轻微差异。难度低的文章,各个要素面目清晰,位置合理。难度高的文章则相对模糊,需要大家花一些力气去分辨。但不管难易,本质不变。正因为每一篇SAT写作题原文都长得一样,所以考生要写的那篇作文也是标准的八股文,一切都源自套路。只要在理解和语言上不犯大错,拿到6/6/6还是比较容易的,至于7/7/7或更高,也只是把套路走得更真诚一些而已。
致力拿到写作满分的同学,请将以下9条要素熟读熟背,理解透彻!
新SAT写作满分的要素第一条:Effectively and insight fully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriate examples, reasons and other evidence to support its position.有这三组关键词:insightful, appropriate examples, reasons and other evidence.何谓insightfully,其实insightfully就是data mining(数据挖掘),新SAT考试要求诸位写出具有深刻洞察力的文章。对于新SAT这类循证型写作来说,对题目的核心概念进行挖掘非常必要。
其次就是appropriate examples, reasons and other evidence。新SAT写作中,大家任务是分析这篇文章作者通过哪些论证方式(名人典故,统计数据,个人经历,社会新闻,历史事件等),哪些修辞技巧(appeal to emotions, rhetorical questions, repetition等),以及作者的逻辑思维(reasoning and organization), 把作者的立场观点成功的“洗脑”给读者。分析非常关键,我们很少会看到858的考分,那正是因为分析不够好也会影响到其他两项阅读和写作的分数。
新SAT写作满分的要素第二条:Is well organized and clearly focused, demonstrating clear coherence and smooth progression of ideas.在这里仍有三组关键词:well organized, clearly focused, clear coherence and smooth progression.well organized是说咱们SAT满分作文的行文组织要系统,有逻辑性;
clearly focused是在要求大家进行新SAT写作时摘取的所有论证都必须指向中心论点,只有和论点相关的例证才是强有力的; www.xiexiebang.com
clear coherence and smooth progression 是说童靴们必须将作者的例证进行一定程度的加工,并按照由主到次、让步转折等顺序进行排列,这样能更好显示出各个例证之间的逻辑关系,让举例或是说理论证的过程有层次性。
新SAT写作满分的要素第三条:Exhibits skillful use of language, using a varied, accurate and apt vocabulary.在这里注意这三个关键词:varied, accurate, apt。具体说来就是童靴们在进行写作时要使用多样的、准确的以及恰当的词汇。
首先varied要求大家不需要哗众取宠的用“大词、难词”来显示词汇量,而应当对同一概念变化多种表达方式,在用词上要注意多使用同义词替换,切勿高频的使用同样的词汇。
其次是accurate,在SAT写作中,用词要做到准确。最后就是apt,同学们应当注意使用标准的书面英语,口语化的语言最好不要出现在新SAT作文中。
新SAT写作满分的要素第四条:demonstrates meaningful variety in sentence structure.在这里注意这个关键词:variety。用词的多样在要素四已经说过,不光是用词,句式的多样性和变化性也能有效地体现同学们运用语言的技巧。在进行SAT写作的过程中,在句子形式上也要注意长句、短句、简单句和复杂句的交替使用,比如非谓语、从句或者把句子写得长一点。
新SAT写作满分的要素第五条:Is free of most errors in grammar, usage and mechanics.在这里注意关键词:free of most errors,其实新SAT写作是允许有错误存在的。most一词表明一篇满分文章需要避免绝大部分的语法、用词错误;同时这也表明个别的语法错误、用词不当以及诸如拼写,标点符号和大小写等错误不影响一篇文章得满分。
事实上,经过数十篇的写作部分评为8的满分作文进行大数据比对,对于SAT写作考试整体来说,更重要的是分析是否深刻,文章逻辑是否通畅,语言整体水平是否够高。
新SAT写作满分的要素第六条:新SAT写作是在考察分析能力。
新SAT变化会比较多一点,考对于阅读材料的应变能力。经过专业的训练后,要基本上达到能够在8分钟之内看完SAT写作所规定的文章。在读原文的过程中,着重去看每一行里面有没有可以去分析的点,比如某一句或两句是一个comparison(对比),或者某一段里面很明显就有几个数据。
边读边用一些笔记划出一些重点:原文中用得比较好的单词、数据和修辞,把它们用不同的笔记符号标记。比如原文中的修辞用圆圈标记,例子论证用波浪号做标记。同一类功能的可www.xiexiebang.com
以写入一段的手法都用同一个符号标记,这样在塑造文章的时候才不会很乱。在读的过程中要很快速地找到一些点,找到点之后,把零散的点拼在一起,再组成一篇文章。
新SAT写作满分的要素第七条:新SAT写作对于快读阅读和分析要求很高。
这就是很多同学会觉得文章的逻辑结构的分析难以掌握,那是因为它花的时间会比较多。因为它需要花费大部分的篇幅进行paraphrase;写作时间50分钟,正如前文所说,8分钟是要花在阅读上面的,还要去思考布局,所以时间是非常有限的。而且对于写作耗费时间比较长,动作比较慢的同学,难度会更大一点。因为,每个paraphrase都要进行充分思考,这个要换什么词好,怎么去改写它。
提升阅读速度需要靠平时的练习,阅读多了,速度就跟上来了。阅读时关键是集中精神,好好找点,做标记。College Board(美国大学委员会)的评分老师对逻辑结构的分析就很重视,提升对它的分析能力还是要靠多练习改写能力。
新SAT写作满分的要素第八条:通过不断练习与老师的反复点评最终要形成自己的写作套路体系。
比如数据分两种,文章开头的数据主要是起引出下文的作用;如果数据放在主体段落的话,它的作用就是解释和支撑文章的中心思想的。再比如12月分的SAT亚太写作,文章开头就有很多数据说中国已经有很多人开始学英语了,但是学习外语的美国人数却在下降。这就是一个数据上的对比,这就可以当做修辞来分析,比如澄清某个事实,引起读者对文章话题的关心。
有一个很重要的套路就是无论分析哪个点,都必须回到文章的中心。毕竟在阅读的过程中,你必须知道哪个是需要重点分析的,哪个不是重点。不是重点的话,即使你分析得很到位,也不会达到很高的分数。也就说,分析的话前提是要找到重点。那么考场中,如何快速找到三个要分析的点或者是写作手法,形成比较成熟完整的写作思路呢?
一般阅读文章之后,答卷上有一个框(planning)是可以用来打草稿的,可以事先在草稿框中写上三个大点:证据、逻辑和语言。读完文章之后,第一段、二段......有什么样的写作手法,如何分到那三个部分中去。比如证据下面就会记下P1(第一段)、P2(第二段)……有什么样的证据,逻辑结构会写明白它到底是因果逻辑或者别的逻辑关系。分析完挑出重点:比如如果原文中出现了很多的举例论证,就不要每一个例子都去分析,而是去挑同学认为比较重要,可以去用比较好写的例子去分析,换句话说就是发现了很多点,但是分析的时候一定要去筛选一下。
新SAT写作满分的要素第九条:最有说服力的一定要放在前面,辅助的放在后面。
写作目的是让你分析为什么文章有说服力,所以重点要放在前面。比如论证手法,structure,reasoning;作为辅助的各种修辞如word choice,humor,rhetorical question等等也许是文章最明显的特点,但也要放在后面。
开头套路: www.xiexiebang.com
In his essay +标题, X delivers a masterful dissertation that + 文章的主旨 …..By the end of the piece the reader will likely find themselves nodding in agreement with what X has to say, and this isn’t just because s/he’s right.X, like any good writer, employs O,P,and Q to plead with the audience to take his side.这里的“O,P,and Q”为大家真考时要写的点,如:
-various reasons-credible evidence-meticulous diction-effective structures
-effective rhetorical devices-use of first person pronouns
Body段落基本是「内容+分析+效果」的三层结构。
「分析+效果」的长度大约是「内容」的两倍。以下的套路均可用在这个部分。
Clear and multiple reasons empower the persuasiveness of this essay.The author includes such possible ailments to remind reader that...After revealing the first reason to.., the author transits smoothly to mention… Now the readers realizes the second reason… is essential.X further strengthens his argument by mentioning…
By reading this readers would probably come to the revelation that…
With three comprehensive and critical reasons, the author structures a solid argument that cannot easily be argues against.1.Fact/Statistics:
The truth in the numbers is undeniable, and he cites his sources promptly, making the statement that much more authentic.Knowledge is often viewed as power, and with information as direct as a statistic, X is handing that power to the reader-the power to agree with him.These facts back up X’s claims that ….Without these evidence, X’s passage would not mean a thing to us readers and we would never be able to believe what he has said.2.we/first-person pronouns:
The author not only create a powerful cadence but also include him and the reader in a unified body.…the reader feels that x no longer argues from the opposite side but from the same side as the reader.The first person pronouns invoke a special feeling of camaraderie…In this way, X is able to affect the reader emotionally through his repetitive use of “we”
www.xiexiebang.com
3.Humour :
His humour diction provides a link between he and the audience, revealing not only an opportunity to laugh, but also reinforcement of the concept that X is trustworthy and just like someone else.一共有31种,由于篇幅受限,这里就不多展示了。

《阅读很重要》
The vicissitude of history never fails to amaze us with all the changes it has brought to human life.If we trace back to see what has been changed since human civilization, seldom can we see anything that remains intact, with only one exception-the importance of reading.Despite the fact that reading has never dropped from our top priorities, few people keep the habit of it.As a reaction to such pathetic phenomenon, writer Frank Bruni draws people’s attention back to reading and encourages people to value it.Strategies he employs include contrast, credible reference and tactic reasoning that appeal to people’s emotion and agreement.One impressive feature of this article is Bruni’s contrast at the very beginning to introduce his topic, with the next paragraphs addressing its benefits.He compares things that he always ignores such as nephew’s birthday and niece’s school production with things he never fails to overlook-reading.For the majority of people, especially teenagers, birthday party and school performance are events that family members should remember.Unfortunately, this is not the case for the author.Reading at this point, readers are left a bit disappointed at the author and tend to pay more attention to what he wants to convey next.At the cusp of people’三立教育www.xiexiebang.com
s attention, author Bruni brings about something that deserves greater emphasis-reading: “I’m incessantly asking my nephews and nieces what they’re reading and why they’re not reading more.” Thus the readers start to realize how justifiable the author is-as nothing like a birthday party or a performance in school is comparable with the importance of reading.With the utilization of this contrast, the author successfully draws the attention from the readers and lays a solid foundation for his later argument.Aside from this, the author’s careful choice of evidence adds credibility to the article.He cites properly a report by Common Sense Media, claiming that three is a sharp decline in the percentage of teenagers read for fun “fewer than 20 percent of 17-year-olds now read for pleasure”.At the same time, however, the number of the young who hardly ever read or never read for pleasure elevates from “only 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds” 30 years ago to “22 percent of 13-year-olds and 27 percent of 17-year-olds “ today.This worrisome report indicates that the young no longer read as much as they used to.Linked with the previous paragraphs, the author urges the reader to weight the disadvantage of such trend and possibly spurs some kind of response.Besides, the inclusion of an authoritative agency backs up Bruni’s point, makes the work of Bruni believable and credible.The most exquisite technique of the passage, however, is its elaborate reasoning.From paragraph 8 to 15, the author lists all the possible benefits of reading to add weight to the persuasiveness of the article.He starts from how 三立教育www.xiexiebang.com
reading benefit the brain in paragraph 8, that interviews indicate a symbiotic relationship between reading and intelligence.Paragraph 9 follows with a benefit to the qualities required to success, because those people who read are more adept at “ reading people” and “sizing up the social whirl around them”.If these benefits are not enough, in paragraph 10, 11, 12 and 13, the author compares reading with exposure to technological devices to indicate how reading would benefit the spirit.One obvious benefit reading offers to the spirit is that reading smoothens people “with thoughts less jumbled, moods less jangled”.The other benefit to spirit is that reading grants people “the ability to focus and concentrate”, which becomes a social corrective to “metabolism and sensory overload of digital technology”, because those who indulge themselves in technology requires something to force them to be focused and have delayed gratification.Finally, in paragraph 14 and 15, Bruni talks about the joy of reading: as the connection reading can provide to people is not anything like watching a movie is able to offer.In order to prove the zealous love people possess for reading, he sites the line from the protagonist in a famous love story that “You read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” People love reading want to share the zeal for it, because only those who read can feel the same addiction.All these are connected well to elaborate the value of reading to not only people’s brain and success, but also spirit and gratification.The combination of all these paragraphs provides the readers with a chance to see the 三立教育www.xiexiebang.com
well-rounded and multi-layer benefits of reading, surely help the reader to deliver his idea.All in all, the evidence and source make the reader’s idea worthy of recognition, and the tactical reasoning appeals to people’s emotion and trust.These writing techniques contribute to a well-structured and compelling argument that reading deserves more attention and emphasis.以上相关信息由三立在线为你提供,希望阅读完以上文章后,你能有所收获,对学习有一定的帮助,更多资讯请访问三立在线,专业老师为你指导讲解相关疑惑,为你的考试之路保驾护航。

在世界这个辽阔的战场中,在人生这个壮丽的舞台上,我们不能做任命运屈辱的牛羊,我们要在战斗中当一名闯将。
不要空想未来,不管它多么令人神往,不要留恋过去,要把逝去的岁月埋葬。
行动起来吧,就在生命的此刻行动!
让生命之舟乘风破浪!
伟人们的足迹向我们昭示,我们也能使自己一生变得高尚。
当我们离开人间时,也能让足迹遗留在时间的沙滩上。
在生命神圣海洋的航程中,也许还会有别人搁浅、绝望,当他看到我们的脚印,他又会重新斗志昂扬!
让我们振奋起来行动吧,让我们学会沉着稳重地面对风浪,不断追求,有所作为,永远满怀着理想和期望!

SAT写作素材:The Crusades
Theme:both sides of an issue
Thesis:Everything has its benefit and its drawback
Subject:The Crusades
Detail: The Crusades, profoundly altering European history, were a series of attacks organized by Western Christians in order to take control of the holy city of Jerusalem from Muslim powers.Although they generally failed in their chief purpose, the Crusades exercised an immense influence on Western civilization by bringing the West into closer contact with new ways of living and thinking--stimulating commerce, giving fresh impetus to literature and invention, and increasing geographical knowledge.Example also serves:It is really impossible to fail.SAT写作素材:The Critical Period
Theme:disadvantage/obstacle/advisity
Thesis:Every fresh crisis we encounter is an opportunity in disguise.Subject:The Critical Period!
The Critical Period was a decade during which the United States
underwent a hardship under the Article of Confederation.The Articles had weakness that hampered efficient operation of the gorvernment:with no provision for an executive branch,it lacked the ability to enforce laws that Congress passed,the Congress had no power to collect taxes,raise a
military,coin money,or regulate interstate commerce.The desperate condition of people was made plain by the Shay’s rebellion and several meetings held by some states to modify the tariff walls that had been erected by each of the 13 states against imports from any orther states.The new nation was
staggering.The Founding Fathers,who hoped to make America one place in world where freedom and love of humankind could flourish,soon realized the powerless central government under the confederation forms of country was undesirable and impratical.It turned out to the Philadephia Convention of 1787,which produced one of “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man ”---The Constituition of United States.It established a federal forms of government that has a seperation of power among legislature,judicious and executive branch and a division of power between states and central government.Further more,it sets a great precedent for future generations seeking liberty and freedpm as Amerca did.Example also serves : Dissatisfaction motivates people to change
SAT写作素材:Change
Theme: Change
Thesis: The world isn’t always changing for better.Subject 1: Environment pollution & Economic inequality
Since the Industrial Revolution,our encironment has been in imminent danger.For example,a dramatic summer drought helped public focus their attentions on the greenhouse effect,a general warming of temperature on
Earth,which is caused by an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels like coals,gasoline products and rapid
deforestation.Along with the rapid technology advance is the emergence of acid rain,ecological wasteland and natural disasters such as flood and
hurricane.Not only to encironment,but also to some people changes in today’s seemly progressive world are not always good.The booming America saw a growing economic inequality.In 2004,number of millionaire household in
America increased by 14% as the number of people living below the poverty line rose to about 37 million,including 15 million children.The annual budget passed by Congress in 2005 severely cut programs essential to strggling families,including child assistance and medicaid funding for the poor.Left in
such desperate condition, the poor could hardly appreciate these changesSubject 2 : Technology changes
Detail: In a culture which emails,cell phones and internet chat room have become everyday modes of communication,we are on the verge of breaking down all barriers to the complete and constant transfer of information.But if we seem to be moving toward unfetter union,we could also be seen more isolated as individuals than we have ever been before.Changes in technology
definitely make our lives easier,as shopping at home becomes easier than driving to the store,as meeting people online eliminates the need to spend a lot of time traveling,and as faxing someone a blueprint gets rid of necessity of meeting to disscuss a plan.However,the very techonology that purports to make connections and bring people closer together is helping them drift apart.One can absolutely recall some scenes which you was sitting alone in your bedroom busily talking to someone on msn whild rejecting the proposal to shop with your families or you was having lunch with friends while talking to someone else on your cellphones.All these convenient technologies including online services that prevent us from going out and meeting a real person,and cellphones that reduce the real human interaction,do not necessarily make us better.Example 2 also serves:The benefit of technology dose not always outweigh the cost.

小议SAT写作
青岛新航道学校讲师:纪琳琳
在考SAT学生中流传着关于SAT写作的饿狼传说。SAT考试第一部分写作,需要在25分钟之内写出一篇不低于400词的文章。只从字数上定义,学生就用电影名Impossible Task来形容SAT写作。更何况,SAT考试要求最好是从美国文学与历史的角度来阐释问题,对于土生土长的中国学生无异于雪上加霜。
然而善于应对考试的中国教师和善于应付考试的学生很快就找到了解决问题的法宝,把SAT写作的考试定义为例子的血拼,只要例子准备好了,就可以以不变应万变。于是在SAT的考场上就成了中国学生背诵布鲁诺,伽利略,哥伦布,亦或是丘吉尔,斯大林,罗斯福,华盛顿,又或是比尔盖茨,乔布斯等人例子的地方。
青岛新航道学校提供专业的雅思培训、托福培训、SAT培训、剑桥青少英语培训等英语培训,帮助广大学子“用英语点亮人生”。http://qingdao.newchannel.org/
SAT写作真的是备好例子,就可以以不变应万变了吗?是,SAT看重用例子支撑观点,但绝不是一个把写好的例子背诵就可以拿高分的考试。中国学生往往擅长在准备的过程中把例子写好,等到SAT考试之时,把写好的例子原封不动的写上。然而学生写出的作文往往离题万里,这就是有的学生SAT考试准备非常充分但考出的成绩差强人意的根源之所在。
那怎么样才能应对SAT考试呢?还需要准备例子吗?毋庸置疑,例子是一定要准备的,但是在准备的过程中,不是通过提前写好几个例子来应对。没有任何例子是万能的,因此把所有考试的宝都压在几个例子上是非常不充分的。应对之法在:
根据历年考试题目准备多个事例并学会变通两字。拿到一个SAT的考试题目,我们都或多或少的能从我们准备的多个例子中找到一星半点的支撑。当我们找到了支撑之后最关键的就是把这一星半点作为我们进行支撑的主要论据,而不是把所有的不相关的内容都堆砌在作文内容里。
世界名人万万千,SAT事例不要局限于大家都用的几个人。像上文中提到过的例子已经备用烂了。假如你是考官,当看到第一个学生用乔布斯来论证的时候,你感觉不错,但是当看到第一千个学生用乔布斯的时候,估计想吐的心都有了。因此,SAT事例的要花心思准备,不要一百度,大家用什么我就用什么。
