对于在准备SAT的同学,我对ESSAY复习的建议是,至少在一个月前开始,每天带着看范文,不要指望几天突击,也不要指望自己的临场发挥,积累是很重要的.同时千万不要低估作文的重要性.我自己的血的教训是第二次考试语法接近满分,但就因为作文的疏忽直接导致整个writing没上750.所以,千万不要不重视作文!在复习ESSAY时,多揣摩6分范文的写法,不能只看表面,就像很多同学只看到了模式似乎也是5段就下定论认为和T作文差不多是不可取的.仔细观察每句话是怎么写的,作用是什么,多看看rater的comment,再多练习自己写一些,用心去准备,不骄不躁,假以时日,ESSAY一定会取得满意的分数 下面是SAT Essay参考范文 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below: Abraham Lincoln said, Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. In other words, our personal level of satisfaction is entirely within our control. Otherwise, why would the same experience disappoint one person but delight another? Happiness is not an accident but a choice. Assignment: Is happiness something over which people have no control, or can people choose to be happy? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. |
