SAT 写作考试时间只有短短的25分钟,那么考生们既要在有限的时间内完成一篇作文又要取得理想的分数,就需要我们在平时的练习中掌握正确的备考方法。今天,我们就一起来学习一下SAT写作备考技巧(一)中的备考妙招吧。
1. Familiarize Yourself with the Most Common Types of Essay Questions.
熟悉SAT Essay 的常考题型,在历年的考试中,Essay考试的提问方式共包括三种形式。
第一种是responding to a statement,也就是让考生针对一段观点或者评论发表自己的观点。
例:
Genius is one percent inspiration, and ninety-nine percent perspiration. - Thomas Alva Edison
Assignment: The statement above implies that effort is of greater importance than creativity in achieving success. Write an essay supporting, disputing, or qualifying the statement. You may use examples from history, literature, popular culture, current events, or personal experience to support your position.
第二种形式是 choose between contrasting statements.也就是让考生们在对立的两个观点中选择自己支持的一个进行论述。
例:
1. Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes ... different points of view. - Robert M. Hutchins
2. What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook. - Henry David Thoreau
Assignment: Consider the statements above. Choose the one that best represents your beliefs, and write an essay explaining your choice. You may use examples from history, literature, popular culture, current events, or personal experience to support your position.
第三种形式是complete a statement.
例:
A great work of fiction can allow us to see truths that may be hidden from us in real life. A good example of the ability of fiction to teach important truths is .
Assignment: Complete the sentence above with a fictional work from literature, film, or television and write an essay demonstrating how that story taught an important truth.
虽然这三种题型表面上看起来少有差异,但是这三种形式其实是有共性的,三种类型都要求考生先表明自己的观点然后针对自己的观点提供论据(也就是例子)来支持自己的观点。相比较而言,第三种形式是最简单的一种,因为题目中已经说明了观点,只需要考生列举自己的论据,考生们不需要在选择自己同意还是不同意题目中的观点,所以这也就相当于省去了一个步骤,考生们只需要选择适合支持自己观点的论据就可以了。而第一种题型相对来说就给了考生更大的自主性,因为考生
们可以选择同意还是不同意这种观点,思路也会更开阔。而第二种题型比第一种更复杂一些,但实际上性质是一样的,从两种不同的观点中选择自己认同的一种,其实是大同小异的。
在平时的备考中,要学习列提纲,不管是哪一种形式的出题模式,你都够得心应手顺利的在25分钟的时间内搞定一篇Essay。
