在6月考完SAT1后就忍不住要写什么。但SAT差强人意的成绩和考后懈怠的心态无限地推迟了我的写作计划,在ALBUS木头和MJYC的带动下,我终于翻开了尘封已久的笔记去回顾当时的焦头烂额,不知所措。
在整个SAT准备过程中,ESSAY其实可以说是我最担心但又是我考得最好的。尽管作文满分并不少见,但鉴于我是完全靠着超强的自学和整理信息能力把这个一开始我完全不知道怎么准备的东西攻克下来,心中难免还是有些许自豪。
Back to the topic,其实SAT的essay要求初看起来有些吓人,但如果有扎实的基础和良好的逻辑分析能力的话,只要做好充分的准备essay就肯定能拿下。基础分为词汇和语法,词汇让你写的文章不那么贫乏和幼稚,而语法让你的文章清晰而又丰富多彩。中国学生做了那么多年语法题,真正能把语法的精髓用在作文上的却寥寥无几。除了行文的流畅及语言的优美外,我认为SAT作文最重要的就是LOGIC! 既然是reasoning test,在作文里面也应该体现严谨的分析和论证推理,这点理科生并不吃亏,而如果你平时在语文作文的议论文写作也很注重文章的逻辑性的话,SAT ESSAY最大的难题可谓迎刃而解。
在早期的准备工作中,我看了MCGRAW HILL和BARRON有关ESSAY的书,对一些基本的技巧和训练的方法有一些初步的了解,整理下来大致如下:
1. 多用strong verbs, 少用被动语态。
2.使用concrete 和 clear nouns。
3.少用介词短语,什么in my opinion, all in all的凑字数的东西尽量别用。
4.长句子可以用来解释复杂的概念和抽象的论点,但是短句子往往更适合强调重要的意思和让考官清楚地看到你所要表达的观点。
5.一个好的结尾可以总结和升华前文的观点,引申到更广的层次,和提供一个有效的建议和解决办法。
6.在叙述中多用平行结构和从句简要地概述事件经过,不要在议论文中冗长地讲故事。
这只是一些主要的部分,其他还有待于大家总结和整理。
在看完一些基本的概述后,我大概只剩下一个月时间,当时我已经没有时间把精力投入在别的参考书的作文题上,于是我只关注以往真题出现过的题目,并做了很充分的整理和brainstorm.
以下是我的分类和说明,希望大家能参考着看,有时间最好自己尝试着去分类,或修改和补充我的真题分类。限于时间关系,我只能把题目贴出来,大家最好去仔细读一下真题里面的QUOTATION,要读懂题目究竟表达的是什么意思。
一.主流权威,他人观点,媒体广告。
1.Is the opinion of the majorityin government or in any other circumstancesa poor guide?
2.Are people afraid to speak out against authority, whether the authority is an individual, a group, or a government?
3.Does worrying too much about other peoples opinions prevent us from seeing things clearly?
4.Do newspapers, magazines, television, radio, movies, the Internet, and other media determine what is important to most people?
5.Is praising others, even if the praise is excessive or undeserved, a necessary part of life?
6.Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?
7.Is criticismjudging or finding fault with the ideas and actions of othersessential for personal well-being and social progress?
8.Should our perceptions of beauty be influenced by the perceptions of beauty of other people?
9.Are established rules too limited to guide people in real-life situations?
10.Do we need other people to identify who we are?
11. Are people more likely to be productive and successful when they ignore the opinion of others?
这一类的关键词主要是围绕他人的意见观点对自己以及别人的影响。其中主流权威这些是常见的观点,这里应该要有个辨证的把握,不要迷信他人观点,但也要肯定他人的建议的作用和影响。当然影响也有正面和负面的,就看你站在哪个角度上去说。最好这一类的偏重于一方面去写论点,这样比较好统一,以一盖全。
