SAT寫作六大法則

　　引導語：下面小編給大家帶來SAT寫作六大法則，希望能夠幫助到您，謝謝您的閱讀，祝您閱讀愉快。

　　法則一：多運用動詞和主動語態

　　作為文章的編寫者，你主要的任務是把你想說的用文字的方式傳達給你的讀者。為了達到這個目的，你可以多使用動詞和主動語態來為你的文章增加生命力。

　　1.使用主動語態 Passive Voice:

　　例;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.用一個動詞來替代句子中的其中一個重要的名詞或形容詞例;Verb to be: The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his teamAction verb: The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team

　　3.在文章中把一個主要的名詞換成動詞例;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.

　　4.如果你不知道該如何更改動詞，可以重新整理語句形式例;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.

　　以上的例子已經解析了，運用動詞可以是句子更具生動性，也更能吸引讀者的眼球。

　　法則二：在文章中使用借詞

　　在文章的寫作中，少運用一些general words,反而多增加specific images. 什么是general words和specific images那，例如說; car 就是general words,因為車的種類有很多。而Benz SUV 就是specific images。在考試的時候，多使用specific words可以幫助把物體解釋的更清楚。讀者也會獲得更多的信息，使他們對你的文章更方便了解。

　　下面，讓我們通過幾個例子來證明;

　　例1;General: Tom got into his car and drove off.

　　Specific: Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.

　　例2;General: The writer wrote a three-page critique of the painting in which he said he did not like it.

　　Specific: In his three-page critique, the art critic squeezed every drop of meaning- and enjoyment- out of the 3-inch by 3-inch pastel.

　　General words 對人物，地點，和事物的介紹都無法給讀者準備的信息，所以為了更清楚的說明，把這些名詞都應該換成specific words.

　　例3;General: An old dog came up the street.

　　Specific: An ancient, gray-muzzled golden retriever wandered up Bluebird Canyon Road.

　　例4;General: My coach illustrates the point about playing fairly.

　　Specific: My basketball coach, Ms Berry, illustrates the essay- ist’s point about playing fairly.

　　例5;General: At the end of the day, the workmen walked up the snow-covered road.

　　Specific: At the end of the day, the tired workmen trudged wearily up the snow-covered road.

　　法則三：合并短句,截斷長句

　　1.合并短句可以讓你的文章更連貫，讀者閱讀的時候思路也會更清晰，讓我們通過下面的舉例來學習如何合并短句。

　　例1， 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)

　　例2， The wide receiver ran down the field. He caught the winning touchdown passImproved sentences: Running down the field, the wide receiver caught the winning pass (modifying phrase)

　　例3， The writer wanted to finish his reading. He did not want to be interrupted with questionsImproved sentences: The writer did not want to be interrupted with questions before he finished his reading. (Complex sentence)

　　例4， Kareem opened the door, He invited all of us in.

　　Improved sentences: Kareem opened the door and invited all of us in. (compound verb)

　　例5， The most valuable player on the basketball team will give the graduation speech. She is the star of this year’s musical.

　　Improved sentences: The most valuable player on the basketball team, who is also the star of this year’s musical, will give the graduation speech (appositive)

　　法則四：文章由始至終的使用簡單的語句

　　在你的寫作的時候，盡量的使用簡單的詞匯并寫作易懂的語句。這樣做，可以使讀者更清楚的明白你的立場和你文章的目的。要記住，SAT寫作不是考察你的生詞量，而是在考察你是否能將你的想法通過文字的方式傳遞給讀者。

　　如果想做到這點，那么作者在寫作的時候，應該避免使用那些無關緊要的詞匯，模糊不清的詞匯，和條例不清的語句。讓我們來看下面的例子;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.

　　通過比較，我們可以清楚的明白，上面的句子，使用了一些不必要的詞匯，而導致句子看上去繁瑣難懂。下面的句子，經過編改，變得簡單易懂。

　　法則五：避免使用俚語

　　SAT的寫作考試，要求的是一篇有專業性的寫作，而不是一篇日記或隨筆。所以使用俚語不應該在SAT的考試中出現。例如，在高考的時候，考生把“我要去…”寫成“俺要去…”加有地方方言的語言方式。

　　下面讓我們通過英文的例子來說明;例1;Brian’s mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test.

　　Improved: Brian’s mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test.

　　同樣的，考生在寫作的時候，也應該盡量避免太多學術性強的語言。批卷的老師很有可能并不想你一樣是個電腦高手。他或她可能只明白一些初級的電腦詞匯，對于那些技術性強的詞匯，可以一竅不通。下面讓我們通過英文的例子來說明;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.

　　法則六：多運用動詞和主動語態

　　大家在寫作的時候，有的同學習慣使用一些例如 ugly as sin, pretty as a picture之類的詞匯。在這里，建議大家不要使用這類詞匯。因為在使用這些詞匯的時候，會給讀者一種陳詞濫調，平淡無味的感覺，更有可能使讀者誤會你本身的意思。尤其是在SAT寫作考試當中使用。

　　以下列出的詞匯，請大家盡量不要在寫作中使用;例1;Whether the author really believed what he wrote was the sixty-four dollar question.

　　Improved: whether the author really believed what he wrote was difficult to determine from the answers he gave the interviewer.

　　例2;I was shaking in my boots before the interview, but I was happy as a lark when the personnel manager offered me the job.

　　Improved: I was terrified before the interview, but I was ecstatic when the personnel manager offered me the job.

　　延伸閱讀：SAT寫作7個常見錯誤分析

　　1. UAlthough we were opposed to the program, we thought that despite its bilateral support, it would accomplish a little.We opposed the program, despite its bilateral support, because we thought it would accomplish little.

　　點評：句子原意為“盡管該計劃如何如何好，我們反對它，因為。。。。。。”先弄清句意。表原因還是用更簡單的“because”。

　　2. The tomatoes at this fruit stand are Umuch more plump, fresh and tasty than the fruit stand located in the lobby of the buildingU in which I work. much more plump, fresh and tasty than those sold at the fruit stand located in the lobby of the building.

　　點評：這個句子中比較了多個項目。在多個比較中可以用“much more/less adj+adj+adj+...”的形式。

　　同時注意比較的對象(西紅柿和西紅柿比)。

　　3. While several baseball teams have tried to supplant the Yankees as the dominant team in baseball, Utheir inability has been unableU to win even half as many WS as the Yankees have won in the past one hundred years. they have been unable CUUS -- Chinese Undergraduates in the United States點評：平行結構，時態，句式一致。CUUS -- Chinese Undergraduates in the United States5. The U tiger, a relative of the B tiger, has been described as Uthe strongest tiger and also the most peaceful of them.U the strongest and yet the most peaceful of tigers.

　　點評：和前面一題類似。

　　6. The price of gold has been influenced by continued inflation and Ubecause people have lost faithU in the dollar. loss of faith點評：平行結構。

　　7. UIf we compare the number of alligators with the Gila monsters over time, we see that the alligatorU is in decline. A comparison overtime of the numbers of alligators and Gila monsters shows that alligators are點評：直接用“comparison”更簡潔。同時還是要(老問題了)注意比較的對象。數量必須和數量比。
