SAT写作学习当然有掌握SAT写作得分点!下文中的这些常见失误一定要注意啦~
读懂文章是第一步
First Step: Correct understanding of the source article
难点：文章看不懂
建议：借用背景+熟悉一般“正论文”写作思路
新SAT写作部分放弃了中国考生所熟悉的“命题作文”方式，而采用了“阅读+写作”的评析性阅读，所以读懂文章很重要。
首先从选择的文章题材来看，College Board(以下简称CB)选用的文章都是摘自英美主要期刊的正论文，文章的目的都是针对近期国际尤其是美国国内的某个问题进行讨论，或警醒世人或针砭时弊;这需要考生对我们生活的这个世界发生的事有所了解, 否则很难在短时间内，又是在考试重压之下看懂作者究竟在说些啥。
以OG6作文The Lovely Stones为例，这篇文章其实是在敦促大英博物馆归还希腊其在19世纪初从希腊拿走的雕像，为了证明英国对这些希腊雕像的占有是不具合法性的，作者使用了大量的史实来证明英国政府，同时对这些雕像的历史及艺术价值进行了详细描述;为了更具说服力，作者使用了大量的emotive language, sarcasm等写作策略，时而对这些雕像赞扬以证明这些雕塑对希腊的重要性，时而又讽刺挖苦英国的不讲理。不少同学对这样的文章毫无招架能力，但如果关心一下时事，不难发现，自20世纪末以来，包括中国在内的很多国家都在向大英博物馆索要本国的历史文物，大英博物馆拒绝的理由是1. 申诉国
没有证据证明这些文物是被英国政府非法占有的; 2. 涉及的国家自己没有好好保护人类共同的历史遗产，大英博物馆事实上承担了此项重任，并为此付出了巨大的人力物力;3. 如果大家都索要文物，那么大英博物馆就会被搬空了(weakening or emptying a museum);如果考生知道这些背景，那么很容易理解文章作者是在逐个反驳这些理由。
其次，阅读的时候，必须要学会提炼文章的中心思想(central claim)以及分论点(claim)。以2016年12月亚太卷America’s Future Has to be Multilingual为例，作者开门见山，提出了第一个分论点(claim)，即美国在双语教育方面落后了，作者用对比、列数字、引用权威观点来证明子自己的观点，然后进入第二个分论点，论证双语能力对美国未来的重要性，而这一段作者是运用了澄清迷思、大量引用权威机构的实验结论等方法，而这两个分论点的“堆积”(building up)都是为了本文中心思想(central claim)而服务的，即当局应该投资美国的双语教育，这关系到国家未来竞争力，这样的阅读方法肯定能加快正确解读文章的速度。
如果梳理一下已经考过的文章，大家不难发现，CB选用的文章虽论证方式多样，但多数是按照“提出问题—分析问题—呼吁解决问题”这样的套路。值得关注的是，自从2017年5月开始，CB似乎已经发现考生已经适应了这样的套路，因而选用的文章已经有所改变，但无论怎么改变，正论文的写作方法无外乎这么几种，考生只需要联系上学校语文课时候，老师带领大家分析的过程，这些文章就显得浅显易懂了。
分析做到“准确、彻底、逻辑严谨并且见解独到”
Analysis: Be thorough，well-thought and insightful
难点: 毫无逻辑、不知所云
建议: 抛弃所谓的模板句，从文章出发、从段落出发
不久前CB公布了2016-2017年全球写作平均成绩：5-4-5，不难看出中间的分数，即分析部分的得分是最低的，而笔者辅导的学生成绩也证实了这样的观察。
空洞无物的“模板句”
首先，请考生忘记所谓的模板句、“闪光的句子”及“必考句型”!笔者收集了一些满分及高分作文，发现这些被CB评卷者认为完美的文章，在英文老师眼里怎么看都不能算是“完美”—啰嗦、语言稚嫩，甚至多处低级语法错误，但这些考生都无一例外地做到了“分析覆盖全文、观点清晰且独到，论证思路严谨，不疾不徐一步步推导;相反，那些套用了所谓的“必考句型”的考生，因为内容空洞无物，最后都不能得到满意分数。
比如：2017年12月考题，某位考生在文章开头写道：
In order to prevent old garments from going to waste, people nowadays often donate large amount of clothes to charity shops. In the opinion piece, “The trouble with Second-Hand Clothes”, Tansy E. Hoskins addresses the problems associated with second-hand clothes in relation to the markets.
看得出这位同学的语言还是挺干练的，但“匠气”太重，让人感觉是在套用固定模式;究其原因，批卷者最想看到的problem是什么，这位同学并没有展开，而是一笔带过。此外，这位同学在接下来的正文部分，每段开头是这样写的：
1. Hoskins has provided plenty of evidence in the passage to back up his claim and persuasiveness.
2. Tansy E. Hoskins has also connected his evidence and claims with strong logical reasoning through analysis and a counterargument.
3. Lastly, Hoskins also refers to pathos in this passage through using rhetorical questions and a scientific tone.
尽管考生提到了一点三方面特点，但这样的分析太笼统。以第一句为例，考试prompt 的要求是“请分析作者是如何运用evidence来说服读者的”，考生的首句，翻译成中文就是“Hoskins提供了大量的证据来支撑自己的观点和(增加)说服性的”，这句话等于没有说;后面两句有所改进，提到了比如counterargument、rhetorical question以及所谓的“scientific ”tone，但还是显得有些空洞;考生要牢记：好词好句是为了内容而服务的，不能本末倒置。
改进的策略是将这些“增值”部分具体化，比如第一句改为：
First, Hoskins claims that second-hand clothes damages economies of underdeveloped regions. To prove his viewpoint, he cites ample statistics, quotes research result from a prestigious university.
避免“流水账”
其次，考生经常写着写着就忘记了考试任务，你的任务是分析，而不是通篇paraphrase，或者给文章配写summary。
以2017年10月亚太考试某位考生的实考作文为例
First, the author proves that the population is likely to decrease in near future. The author employs statistics like “from more than 2 percent a year in the 1960s to roughly 1 percent a year now”, which suggests that the increasing rate of population is “actually dropping”. The author further argues that the birth rate “in
many countries has fallen”in recent decade. By employing examples of fertility, Kenya, Brazil, Iran and Ireland, the author bolsters his argument.
这样的分析就不能满足评分标准中“thorough”的要求，因为考生只是完成了分析中的一个任务，作者的写作意图，但忽略了至少这一段在文章中的作用—这段其实是一个重要的前提(prerequisite) 作者在文章第二段有讲述：他将逐一驳斥Sir David观点的两个前提条件，所以这一点应归属于The author begins off by refuting one of Sir David’s two prerequisites, which is, the world’s population keeps increasing, a common misunderstanding among the general public. 此外，还要论述这样写对读者会有什么样的效果、作者为何采用这些数据、例子，这些例子有怎样的说服力，以及这一段与下一段之间是如何自然过度的等等，这样的分析才是thorough。
写作：字迹清晰，基本的语法错误要避免
Writing：Pay attention to your grammar
难点：考试疲劳紧张，错误在所难免
建议: 避免明显的语法错误，平时要刻苦训练
总体而言，CB对学生的具体的写作部分语法、拼写要求不高—毕竟考到写作部分，考生已经奋战了3小时，疲劳加上高度紧张，错误在所难免，因此，CB 仅要求考生避免最基本的英语语法(free from the most superficial conventions of standard written English)，但有些考生的语法实在令人难以恭维，主要常见的错误是冠词(a, an)的使用、第三人称单数遗漏s以及单词词性搞错，至于主语不一致、run-on句子CB几乎不做要求，因为实在数不胜数，建议同学们要把在SAT“语法”部分学到的知识运用到考试中。
比如实考作文
In his editorial “America’s Future Has to be Multilingual”, the author Linda Moore discusses the significance of multilingual education and urges the US should invest in bilingual and multilingual and apply it to the school curricula. By referencing authoritative figures, employing apt logistic analysis and appealing to emotion, the author manages to make her argument persuasively.
一段60字不到的文章，满眼尽是语法错误(红色标出)，何况是文章的开头部分，这给批卷老师留下了很不好的印象。好在这位考生在正文部分写出了好几句结构sophisticated 的句子，比如：The author invokes testimonies from two renowned former politicians, Joel Klein and Condoleeza Rice, to endorse her perspective of the detrimental effect of US’s under evaluation of foreign language education. 这样的句子属于学生自身的积累，并非套用了所谓的模板，值得提倡。
从收集的高分作文来看，学生的字迹都是清晰可辨的，而且字数至少650，差不多填满三页考卷，CB给考生传递的一个信息是，字数太少，不可能把这篇文章分析透彻。笔者看到一篇满分作文，足足写了1024个单词，这与学生平时的积累、刻苦的训练密不可分，所以提醒一下平时不肯做写作作业的考生，平时不训练，不要指望考试会出现奇迹。

Is the Vietnam War a wise choice? Martin Luther King Jr., the famous leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement, stated his opinion that it was totally wrong to start that war. Meanwhile, in order to strengthen his opinion, rhetorical devices, such as parallel, contrast, irony, personal anecdote, quotation, were utilized in his speech, which made his speech more persuasive and evoked the audience to stand by his side Throughout the whole passage, the use of contrast presented two extreme opposite sides, which highlighted the difference and conflicts between what is shown on TV screens to the reality of the society; the rhetorical device of parallel showed strong artistic expression of contend, which strengthened the speaker’s point of view concerning how the miserable situation the poor are facing with; it is the personal anecdote illustrated an undeniable truth of his own experience of convincing angry young men that described his opinion

新SAT写作评分标准详细解读 三立在线SAT频道为大家带来新SAT写作评分标准详细解读一文，希望对大家SAT备考有所帮助。更多精彩尽请关注三立在线SAT频道! 一、新SAT写作如何评分 新SAT写作评分标准在OG里分为三个方面：阅读、分析和写作。每部分的分数为1-4分。考生可得到的分数为2-8分。新SAT对写作字数没有硬性要求，一般写到500单词左右即可。文章以5段为宜。那具体通过哪些方面来评分呢? 首先，作文能够明确辨识文章的中心观点、证据和各种写作手法。第二，作文能够评估理解文章证据、展开方式，修辞手法的作用和使用价值。第三，作文能够准确选择和引用文中细节语句辅助自己文章的展开。最后，作文是一篇高效组织的学术文章。另外，语言的规范也尤其重要，这里语言规范指语言表达的正确性，这包括多变的句式(不一定全是倒装句、强调句等)、精确的词汇(不一定复杂)、适当的从句(定语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句等)，但需要避免口语化的表达。 总的来说，新SAT写作要求以下几个方面：1. Make a claim. 2. Organize your argument. 3. Switch up your sentences. 4. Choose smart words. 5. Use an academic tone. 6. Use good grammar. 二、新SAT写作框架
首段是Intro段，本段清楚地表达作者的观点。 支撑段为body paragraph段。每个body paragraph段有个中心的claim 和相应的evidence. Evidence 包括：facts事实，credible sources可靠信息来源，examples例子。在支撑段中会用到很多修辞手法，常见的有：metaphor 暗喻，appeal to emotion诉诸情感，comparison/contrast比较对比，word choice词汇选择，repetition重复，propaganda夸大宣传。 结尾段是conclusion段，深化作者的argument. 三、写作模板例证 Example 1 (from OG) 首段：In response to our world’s growing reliance on artificial light,writer Paul Bogard argues that natural darkness should be preserved in his article “Let There Be Dark”. He effectively builds his argument by using a personal anecdote, allusions to art and history, and rhetorical questions. (最后一句即为thesis statement) Body paragraph 1: Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal story –a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “woods so dark that his hands disappeared before his eyes” Body paragraph 2: Bogard’s argument is also furthered by his use of allusion to …

Lee of the United States of the Confederacy, was on a winning streak against the armies of the United States of the Union. At the battle of Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, the Confederate armies outnumbered the Union soldiers barricading themselves inside the town. General Lee created battle tactics and strategies for the assault on Gettysburg. Through his extensive planning and military genius, Robert E. Lee was confident that his battalions would overtake the Union. However, during this decisive battle, Robert E. Lee's strategies failed the Confederacy, and the unexpected happened; Ulysses S. Grant and the Union armies defeated Lee. Even though General Lm planned thoroughly, Lee did not expect the Union to retreat to Cemetery Hill where they would have the advantage of elevation. Both sides suffered major casualties, but it was the Union that won the battle.

2015年1月新SAT官方新样题第一时间解读：满分写作范文解析 本次官方给出了两道样题，北京新东方张卉老师针对第一篇样题（节选自Paul Bogard 于2012.12.21发表在《洛杉矶时报》的“Let There Be Dark.”）的满分作文进行了官方得分理由的第一时间解读。 满分作文（阅读部分4分，理解部分4分，写作部分4分） 阅读理解部分---4分：这篇作文通过熟练的间接引用--转述技巧（paraphrases）和直接引用技巧（direct quotations）展现出了对材料文章全面充分的理解能力。作者用简洁的语言概括了Bogard’s piece这篇文章的主旨，即(natural darkness should be preserved; we must preserve true, unaffected darkness)，并从材料文章中找寻证据来说明作者如何支持主旨：如提及作者用个人轶事来开篇；提及Bogard对Paris’ reputation as “The City of Ligh t”这一历史典故的引用。考生并未直接引用大段的作者原文，而是用自己简洁精确的转述语言来全面解读Bogard 的这篇argument，考生能够清晰有条理的说明Bogard如何使用细节来支持主旨。这篇文章没有对材料文章事实的误读或曲解。总而言之，此文反映出了考生优秀的阅读理解技巧。 分析能力部分—4分：北京新东方张卉老师通过结合官方理由解读，这篇满分文章展现了考生深刻透彻的分析能力并展现出考生对分析技巧这一要求的深刻理解。考生认真全面地解释了Bogard如何通过使用个人轶事，艺术和历史引喻，修辞手段等方法来展开他的议论。例如：考生分析了Bogard为何采用个人轶事这一手段来进行开篇，并描述了作者采用这一方法对读者产生的整体效果，如(In telling this brief anecdote, Bogard challenges the audience to remember a time where they could fully amass themselves in natural darkness void of artificial light. By drawing in his readers with a personal encounter...the author means to establish the potential for beauty, glamour, and awe-inspiring mystery that genuine darkness can possess.... This ane cdote provides a baseline of sorts for readers to find credence with the author’s claims. ) 括号 中这一有说服力的逻辑链表明了考生从手段功能性和读者效果性两个方面，全面地理解了Bogard采用个人轶事这一方式开篇的作用。这种深刻的分析在通篇都展现得非常明显，此文反映出了考生优秀的分析技巧。 写作能力部分—4分：这篇文章行文连贯结构紧密，展现出考生极高的语言运用掌握能力。这篇文章有清晰明确的主旨，即：(He effectively builds his argument by using personal anecdote, allusions to art and history, and rhetorical questions)，篇章的主体段紧密围绕着Bogard的原文的三个主要主体部分进行结构展开。每一段的段落内部的观点递进也清晰严谨。考生开头段和结尾段的写作技巧纯熟简明，并很好的概括了Bogard的主旨及其全篇分析结构。考生全篇用词准确和措辞得当，(the natural magnificence of stars in a dark sky is definite, our world consumed by unnatural, vapid lighting, the affecting power of an untainted night sky). 文章句式 变换多样，且使用了很多高级的复杂句(By doing this, Bogard creates a dichotomy between Paris’ traditionally alluded-to name and the reality of what Paris is becoming –no longer “the city
新SAT写作题型解读 本文以College Board给出的官方练习题“Let There Be Dark”为例，深入了解新SAT写作（Essay）题型的写作要求以及应对方法。让同学们学会解读题干，了解写作评分标准。 接下来是新SAT写作题型解读，以“Let There Be Dark”（原文链接）官方练习题为例，给大家梳理写作需要大家注意的要点。 一.考试性质 虽然新SAT写作的官方定位为「任选」（optional）项，但事实上，这只是针对拥有选择权的大学来说。对于考生本身，就算目前所申请的学校不需要提供新SAT作文成绩，也不能保证之后申请的学校也不需要，所以早点通过可以有备无患，不必额外花钱重新参加一次考试，避免耗时耗力。事实上美国排名靠前的大学（如普林斯顿、耶鲁）都明确提出要求考生提供新SAT写作成绩，这说明新SAT写作虽然名义上是「选考」，但对于那些想进名校的考生来说，实际上是「必考」。退一步讲，而且就算考生申请的学校不要求提供新SAT写作成绩，如果附上，也算作加分项。如此锦上添花的事，何乐而不为呢？ 新SAT写作共50分钟，在这段时间里，考生需要阅读一篇文章，并据此写出一篇逻辑严谨、结构清晰的分析性文章。需要注意的是，考生本身不能对文章观点做出评判，只需要立足原文客观分析其论证过程即可，这是新SAT写作和老SAT写作最大的不同之处。 二.题干解读 新SAT写作题目包括两个引导和一篇文章。需要注意的是，两个引导部分的大部分内容是固定的。引导1点明新SAT写作的三个层面，即考生需要从「论据」（evidence）、「逻辑」（reasoning）和「修辞」（stylistic or persuasive elements）三方面展开分析。「论据」是作者用来证明观点成立的依据，包括事实、数据、实验结果、个人经历等；「逻辑」是作者的论证思路，即借助论据证明观点成立的过程。「修辞」侧重作者的语言表达和情感激发对读者的说服作用。引导2一方面会给出作者的结论，提示考生选用文中最有代表性的论证手法进行分析，不必面面俱到；另一方面会提示考生，写作应该立足于分析原作者的论证过程，而不能表露自己个人对原文观点的认同或者反对。 阅读文章是一篇议论文，字数在650到750之间，来源多为已出版发行的报刊杂志，如The Economist，New York Times，Washington Post等。文章题材多元，涵盖文学、艺术、科学、政治、社会等各个层面，但专业性不强，考生即使没有专业背景也可以读懂。
新SAT写作变为选考三大原因介绍若不是考生所申请的学校要求提供作文成绩，考生是能够自主选择是不是参加此项考试。但果真是这样的吗?根据最新SAT出台后，针对选考的设定出现了许多的争论。实际上所谓选考只是针对拥有选择权的学校来说，而针对广大考生，名为「选考」，实为「必考」，所以以下介绍了新SAT写作变为选考三大原因。 理由一：美国顶尖大学的要求 美国大部分大学，尤其是排名考前的大学，全部需要大家提供新SAT写作成绩。到现在为止美国排名前10的大学中，已经有了4 所大学在官方文件里明确表示要大家提交新SAT写作成绩，它们是普林斯顿、耶鲁、斯坦福和加州理工。其中只有2所大学(哥伦比亚和宾夕法尼亚)表示了根本不要大家提供新SAT写作成绩，但是剩下的4 所大学(哈佛、芝加哥、麻省理工和杜克大学)还没有给出针对新SAT 写作的具体申明。此外现在排名在20 位、在中国学生中知名度较高的加州伯克利也明确提出要求考生提供新SAT写作成绩。这5所大学对新SAT 写作的态度代表了一种趋势，即大部分学校，特别是排名靠前的大学，非常看重考生的新SAT 写作成绩。所以如果你的目标是这些一流大学的话，新SAT 写作于你而言便是「必考」项了。 理由二：新SAT写作成绩可以成为加分项 介绍了有关针对新SAT 写作的态度，有一些学校尽管不明确要求考生提供，但「推荐」考生提供，比如排名第14 的布朗大学。表示了若大家在申请材料中附上作文成绩，会是一个加分项。此点同样适用在还没有给出对新SAT 写作态度的大学，例如上文提及的哈佛、芝加哥、麻省理工和杜克，还有全美排名在10-20 之间的约翰霍普斯金大学、达特茅斯学院、西北大学、康奈尔大学、范德堡大学、圣路易斯华盛顿大学和莱斯大学。实际上大部分

SAT写作范文 Abraham Lincoln said, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." In other words, our personal level of satisfaction is entirely within our control. Otherwise, why would the same experience disappoint one person but delight another? Happiness is not an accident but a choice. Assignment: Is happiness something over which people have no control, or can people choose to be happy? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. My Essay: Happiness is an elixir to all diseases, so everyone wants happiness and most of them think that it comes from success. But even if we fail something, we can still choose to be happy. Last year, our school held a basketball competition. Our class had entered into the semi-final and all the students in our class were very excited. Moreover, we had just beaten the team which was considered the best in our grade and my classmates were hopeful that we might enter the final game. On the day of the semi-final, the players of our team went to the field in our cheers. But as soon as we saw the members of the other team, we knew it would be a hard match. One of the players in their team is as tall as 1.93 m, much taller than any of our players and we also learned that their team was the only one which hadn’t lost a single game. The match started. To our disappointment, our team wasn’t playing well, and the best player in our team was followed by the tallest in theirs at every pace. Anxious and worried, we girls jumped onto the platform beside and shouted at the top of our voices. After sometime, it seemed that our cheers had gave my classmates some energy and they began to catch up, slowly but gradually, we were only two points behind. But just at that time, the first ten minutes were over and we came to a stop. The players were tired but hopeful, and we kept cheering them. However, when the match started again, our opponents seemed to become stronger. They got more points and we were soon eleven points behind. Meanwhile, our throats were burning, but we kept shouting for our classmates. Though we caught up some points, at last we lost by only one point. When we got back to the classroom, all of my classmates were disappointed and sad. One of the players even cried. But our teacher came in at that moment and said, “Cheer up everyone, we just lost by one point and we are already the top four. We still have a match and let’s get the third place!” Then one of my classmates suddenly went to the dais and wrote something encouraging on the blackboard and one by one, over ten of our classmates all
Essay2:Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue.Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading,studies,experience,or observations
In a world where economic prosperity and“getting ahead”in work and technology are highly valued,creativity and the arts are often shunted in favor of more“practical”pursuits.Students abandon dreams of acting or painting in order to major in medicine,computer technology,or engineering:highly profitable and scientific fields.Even with the advances in these fields,however,there is still a need for creativity in our world,because seeing things in a new way can make all the difference. Today,more and more public schools are forced to abandon their arts programs to make time for subjects like science and math:subjects in which all students must have a basic knowledge in order to succeed in higher education.However,by leaving these programs behind, children are deprived of the creative stimulation that the arts provide,and are taught to view the world in“black and white”terms:one right answer to every problem.With a view such as this, how will children perform in the future?It may be assumed that all people will see things the same way,and propose only one solution to a problem,failing to see the bigger picture. Creativity has obviously influenced earlier generations in a positive way,so there is no need to eliminate creativity from our world.What would have happened if Franklin Roosevelt had never proposed his New Deal?The Great Depression might have persisted for some time,robbing even more families of their chance at prosperity and happiness.However,by proposing a new, creative solution for the problem of the U.S.’s depression,FDR pulled the nation out of its slump. Another example of how creativity has positively influenced the world happened just recently, with the introduction of hybrid cars.These new cars do not rely on as much oil as other cars do in

Even though we live in a capitalist society,I still cannot help but believe,despite my own cynicism,that people are more motivated to achieve something for personal satisfaction rather than monetary gains.Look at Chekov's short story,“The Bet.”A man agrees to sacrifice fifteen years of his life in prison in exchange for a million dollars. Obviously his motivation for such an extreme bet is wealth,but by the end of the prison sentence,the man could care less about the money.After years of introspection,of reading Shakespeare,The Bible,and textbooks,the man actually comes to despise the money he once sought;the money he signed away fifteen years of his life for.He does not collect his money from the banker,he runs away to be on his own and continue to live the life of solitude he has learned to love,free of money and possessions. Also,in a psychology class,one of the first things students study when they come to the topic of motivation,is external stimulus versus personal drive.Any textbook will tell one that studies show that a child is more likely to put as much energy as possible into completing a task when it is something that makes him happy,than if he was doing it for a physical reward. A child is more likely to get good grades,if it makes him feel good about himself,than if his parents offer to pay him every time he makes the honor roll.I agree with this theory on motivation because I see it play out everyday in my life.If my older sister had been concerned with money and fame,which reality television tells us every night is important,she would have gone to college after graduating high school.She knew though,that school and learning did not make her happy,and she was not going to suffer through four more years of school just because a college degree could lead to a more successful job.Right now she does not make as much money at her job,but she likes her life and the way she lives;she has more fun
