SAT写作重点话题讲解(一)

　　回顾过去几场考试，可以发现college board 十分青睐挑战权威和提出新想法这个主题，既然如此青睐，各位参加6月考试的考生还是应该额外关注。其他类别包括物质类别，个人价值观判断等。 接下来给大家罗列一些重点话题，以供参考。

　　6月考试重点一：创新类

　　Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today?

　　参考思路：大家要注意today 这个措辞。此题适合准备个人例子。有了创造力，才能distinguish yourself from others, 不妨借鉴班上一个马来西亚同学说过一的学生会竞选的有趣故事。他说最后获胜者提出了很creative 的东西来吸引学生，比如：

　　1) shopping, once a month 一月安排一次集体购物，他们是寄宿学校。

　　2) ball, invite the girls in the girls-school, 一周安排一次集体舞会，要求女校学生参加。这就是与众不同啊。

　　重点二：物质类别

　　Is it more important to do work that one finds fulfiling or work that pays well?

　　参考思路：比较难写的题目。较容易额方法是些赚钱重要，因为挣了钱才能实现梦想，获得fulfilling.

　　开头段：Working for a well-paid job is more important. When one can get a considerable income, he can utilize this amount of wealth to do those things he finds fulfilling. The King of Steel, Andrew Carnegie, is one example that can prove the above point of view.

　　中间框架： 卡内基童年贫苦只能读夜校因此希望帮助更多人读上书努力工作内战买了钢的专利权建了公司赚了钱实现梦想投生教育事业。

　　参考：童年艰苦 Andrew Carnegie had an arduous childhood: as the age of 13, as an emigrant from Scotland to America, he squeezed in an incredibly tiny apartment with other immigrants. He struggled for his survival, finding a job in one factory after another. Having no access to welfare, to education and medical services, he was deprived of all basic rights.

　　营造童年梦想Living under this extreme poverty, Andrew Carnegie knew and understood so deeply about the torture within, and he developed a dream to provide a better live for the poor.

　　营造挣钱Andrew Carnegie took great notice of the business world and his sharp discernment paid him back. During the Civil War, Andrew Carnegie discovered the potential of steel industry and thus bought a patent of steel to operate his own company.

　　Over 20 thousand employees

　　A market share of 65%

　　An annual income of $40 million

　　横线部分过渡是重点，营造赚钱和满足感的关系：It was this well-paid job that made Andrew Carnegies childhood dream come true. With the wealth he had accumulated, he fulfilled his youthful ambition by making his contribution to the realms of philanthropy.

　　营造梦想的实现Paying special attention to libraries and higher education, Carnegie invested in building of many local libraries and Carnegie Mellon University. These efforts changed many Americans lives, offering their invaluable knowledge.
