SAT作文考試的時間只有25分鐘,所以大家在備考的時候,一定要按照固定的步驟進行,這樣才能更加有效的利用時間。下面天道小編就為大家整理了SAT作文答題的基本步驟,希望對大家的寫作有一些幫助和借鑒。
SAT作文分為了開頭,主體和結尾三個部分,其中考生需要運用一些例子來證明自己的觀點。下面通過對一個具體的SAT作文題目來對這這個步驟進行詳細的解析。
Assignment: Is it better to get all the information before taking action or is it better to take action first and then analyze the process of the whole action?
解惑:這是個選擇式的題目,問各位是先行動好,還是得到全部信息然后行動更好。
比較好寫的方法自然是選擇先得到全部信息,然后行動。因為廣大考生可以把早就準備好的個人例子拿上去套題目。
方法:將成功失敗類中的例子稍加改變,第一次做什么事情失敗,因為先決定了然后之后的分析非常匆忙,想法不完整導致失敗;相反第二次吸取了經驗,獲得全部信息然后決定,最后成功。通過前后對比,體現出題干中的better。
首段要體現出比較,指出take action first的缺點。
1 第一步:觀點I prefer getting well prepared before taking action to analyzing the whole process after carrying out a decision.
2 第二步:為什么。相對最難寫,可以先思考例子,然后再提煉邏輯關系。這篇文章就是
Hasty decisions may result in incomplete plans and thus possible failures while full preparation may optimize your decisions.
3 第三步:舉什么例子。
The example of my aunt Helen could serve as a compelling one.
中間段如何寫:
這篇文章比較難,因為是選擇式的,所以最好的寫法是把例子拆成兩個部分,第一部分是否定的內容,即倉促行動導致全盤皆輸;第二部分是全面準備后下決定然后成功的例子。
用一個最簡單的素材給大家展示。
First, she started a restaurant, Helen’s Place. Though it was popular and did a steady business. Aunt Helen knew little about managing money, so her restaurant went out of business.
Then she tried to open a coffeehouse, but there were already many popular coffeehouses in her town, so her coffeehouse never managed to attract many customers.
Finally, using knowledge she had gained from earlier businesses, she started her own catering service. It has been a success for ten years now.
接下來結合這個素材進行一些營造,寫出思路鏈。但是還是衷心建議各位考生依據真實經歷進行寫作,會更有真情實感。
