要写出SAT满分作文,当然要先知道满分作文应该是什么样的。本文给出了SAT官方满分标准,并对其要点进行了详细剖析。希望各位考生在将这些标准了然于胸后,能将它们化诸笔端。
要想写好SAT作文,先要看看真正的好作文是什么样的。下面就是College Board官方给出的SAT作文满分标准:
An essay in this category demonstrates clear and consistent mastery, although it may have a few minor errors. A typical essay exhibits the following characteristics:
1. Effectively and insightfully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriateexamples, reasons and other evidence to support its position;
关键词:insightful, approriate examples, reasons and other evidence
1) insightfully
insightfully=data mining(数据挖掘)
SAT考试要求考生写出具有深刻洞察力的文章。对于SAT这类强调思辨的批判性写作来说, 对于题目的核心概念进行挖掘是很必要的。
2) approriate examples, reasons and other evidence
考生在提出论点之后,必须寻找相关的、恰当的例证来支持和充实自己的论点。SAT作文的推理过程远比推理的结果更重要,因此解释Why比给出What更重要,考官会通过审视推理过程来判断考生的逻辑陈述能力。
2. Is well organized and clearly focused, demonstrating clear coherence and smooth progression of ideas;
关键词:well organized, clearly focused, clear coherence and smooth progression
1) well organized
SAT满分作文的行文组织要系统,有逻辑性。
2) clearly focused
考生在进行SAT写作时所有的论证和举例都必须指向中心论点,只有和论点相关的例证才是强有力的。
3) clear coherence and smooth progression
在SAT考试中,考生需要将自己所举的例证进行一定程度的加工,并按照由主到次、让步转折等顺序进行排列,这样能更好显示出各个例证之间的逻辑关系,让举例或是说理论证的过程有层次性。
要点3: Exhibits skillful use of language, using a varied, accurate and apt vocabulary;
关键词:varied, accurate, apt
考生在进行SAT写作时要使用多样的、准确的以及恰当的词汇:
1) varied
考生不需要哗众取宠的用大词、难词来显示词汇量,而应当对同一概念变化多种表达方式。
2) accurate
在SAT写作中,用词要做到准确。
3)apt
考生应当注意使用标准的书面英语,口语化的语言最好不要出现在SAT作文中。
要点4: Demonstrates meaningful variety in sentence structure;
关键词:meaningful variety
用词和句式的多样性和变化性能有效地体现考生运用语言的技巧。考生在进行SAT写作的过程中,在用词上要注意多使用同义词替换,切勿高频的使用同样的词汇。 另外,在句子形式上也要注意长句、短句、简单句和复杂句的交替使用,切忌纯粹为追求华丽而使用大量复杂句。
要点 5: Is free of most errors in grammar, usage and mechanics.
关键词:free of most errors
SAT作文中允许考生出现由于时间压力等产生的个别拼写、语法、用法错误,然而most一词表明一篇满分作文仍然是要避免大量出现这类错误的。对于SAT作文来说,观点明确、逻辑顺畅、语言丰富固然是最高要求,但是也不可忽视语言的基本功。
