同学们在备考的时候可以总结一些适合自己的常用的SAT写作万能例子,还要了解一些关于SAT写作分数的相关信息。小编为大家整理了关于SAT写作高分的六大法则助大家一臂之力。
1、多运用动词和主动语态
在文章中把一个主要的名词换成动词
例:Verb to be :the use of leaf blowers before 8 am is a violation of local noise abatement laws. Action verb :the use of leaf blowers before 8 am violates local noise abatement laws.
用动词替代句子中的某一个重要的名词或形容词
例:Verb to be :The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his team Action verb :The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team如果不知如何更改动词,可以重新整理语句形式例:Verb to be :Jamie was happy to be part of the all-star soccer team. Action verb : Being a part of the all-star soccer team thrilled Jamie.主动语态例:Passive Voice :the main idea for my essay was stated as the first sentence in the first paragraph. Active Voice : I stated the main idea of my essay in the first sentence in the first paragraph. Passive voice : money for the new recreation building was raised quickly Active voice: the recreation committee quickly raised money for the new building.
2、在文章中使用specific words
少general words,多增加specific images
car 就是general words,因为车的种类有很多,而Benz SUV 就是specific images。在考试的中,多使用specific words可以帮助把物体解释的更清楚,读者也会获得更多的信息,使他们对你的文章更方便了解。
例: General :Tom got into his car and drove off.
Specific :Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.
3、多运用动词和主动语态
在写作中,有的同学习惯使用一些例如 ugly as sin, pretty as a picture之类的词汇。在这里,小编建议大家不要使用这类词汇。因为在使用这些词汇的时候,会给读者一种陈词滥调、平淡无味的感觉,更有可能使读者误会你本身的意思。
Improved :I was terrified before the interview, but I was ecstatic when the personnel manager offered me the job.
4、使用简单的语句
写作的时候,尽量的使用简单易懂的词汇语句,可以使读者更清楚的明白你的立场和你文章的目的。要记住,SAT写作不是考察你的生词量,而是在考察你是否能将你的想法通过文字的方式传递给读者。
例 :To facilitate input by the maximum number of potential purchasers, questionnaires were designed and posted well in advance of the launch of the promotional marketing campaign. Improved :Before we began advertising, we designed and mailed a marketing survey to find out what customers were looking for.
通过比较,我们可以清楚的明白,上面的句子,使用了一些不必要的词汇,而导致句子看上去繁琐难懂。下面的句子,经过编改,变得简单易懂。
5、避免使用俚语
SAT的写作,要求的是一篇有专业性的写作,而不是一篇日记或随笔,所以俚语不应该在SAT的考试中出现。就好像是高考作文中,考生把“我要去…”写成“俺要去…”加有地方方言的语言方式。
例1:Brian’s mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test.
Improved :Brian’s mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test.
同样的,考生在写作的时候,也应该尽量避免太多学术性强的语言。批卷的老师很有可能并不像你一样是个电脑高手。他或她可能只明白一些初级的电脑词汇,对于那些技术性强的词汇,也许一窍不通。
例2:Close-support, transport, and reconnaissance assistance is provided by the S-3X helicopter, which is the most cost effective in a crane configuration.
Improved :The S-3X helicopter provides support, transportation, and reconnaissance. However, the helicopter is most cost effective when it works as a crane.
6、合并短句,截断长句
合并短句可以让你的文章更连贯,读者阅读的时候思路也会更清晰。
例:The glee club held a fund-raiser, the basketball team also held a fundraiser. Improved sentences :The glee club and the basketball team held fundraisers (compound subject).
