　　新SAT写作提分的小诀窍

　　大家都知道，我们备考的最大最直接的依据就是prompt的提示，尽管文章每次考试都在变换，但是prompt是保持不变的，因此，我们在原文做标记的时候，就要充分利用prompt给我们的提示，在原文圈圈点点的笔记的时候应该把重点放在以下方面：

　　a) evidence to support claims (e.g., cited data or statistics, or authoritative sources that support the author’s argument)

　　b) reasoning to develop ideas and make connections (e.g., the author explains his logic for using a specific piece of evidence to support a specific claim)

　　c) stylistic or persuasive elements to add power to the ideas expressed (e.g., using figurative language, irony, metaphor, and other elements to appeal to emotions)

　　首先，在读文章的时候，务必记得做笔记，尤其注意以下几点，这几点也是prompt中给出的几点：作者如何运用evidence来支撑观点;作者如何用reasoning来发展观点、连接claim和evidence的;作者如何运用stylistic or persuasive elements来增加观点的可靠性和说服力。

　　除了在文章的边边角角写注释，我们建议考生养成圈圈点点的习惯，比如可以用下划线或画圈来标注以下重点：一是中心观点;二是重要的细节;三是标记出事实和观点;四是找出文章中的evidence，用于之后的直接引用或同义转述。

　　其次，写出文章的outline，并思考如何在文章中体现中心点和分论点。这一步比较重要，而且outline会帮助我们节省时间，理清思路，以避免不必要的改写和重写。如果第一步中对文章有效进行了标注，那么在本部分写大纲的时候就会更加有组织、有条理。

　　第三步就是写文章，把写好的outline填充evidence并扩展为一篇文章。注意文章的连贯性。正如张执远老师在授课中一直强调的，在introductory paragraph中需要有一个topic sentence、3个能细化论证的论点作为thesis statement, 根据thesis statement进而将文章发展为3-5个支撑的body paragraph，另外注意句式结构的多样性。

　　最后，检查润色，看是否有语法、拼写、表达上的错误。虽然几个语法和拼写错误不会对SAT essay部分的分数影响特别大，但利用几分钟的时间来重新检查还是可以帮助我们避免不少不必要的错误。

　　新SAT写作如何利用模版

　　众所周知，英语的听说读写四部分，说和写属于主动的“输出”，而听和读是被动的“输入”。这样做划分的一个原因就是输入端和输出端的备考方法是不同的。作为输出端的写作和口语，备考方法是离不开所谓的“模仿”的。无论模仿的是句式、结构亦或是单词，都离不开一个“模仿期”的。不只是英语学习，其实任何一门技术或者知识技能的学习，我们做的也是从“模仿期”到“平台期”再到“创造期”的过渡。面对新SAT写作，我们不仅不要回避模仿的重要性，还要在模仿中学习，在模仿中创造，在模仿中学以致用。

　　本着“凡有所学皆有所用”的原则，张执远老师就给大家举几个例子来体会仿句和积累的重要性，比如在新SAT的evidence-based writing中，每个body paragraph的第一句我们叫做topic sentence. Topic sentence是从introductory paragraph里面的thesis statement中发展而来的，且body paragraph的发展顺序应尽量和thesis statement中的顺序一致。我们给大家举三个例子供大家模仿和参考，从而进一步从优秀、经典、地道的模版中汲取写作所需的.表达、句式和框架。

　　Example 1 (来自OG满分范文4-4-4).

　　In response to our world’s growing reliance on artificial light, writer Paul Bogard argues that natural darkness should be preserved in his article “Let There Be Dark”. He effectively builds his argument by using a personal anecdote, allusions to art and history, and rhetorical questions. (最后一句即为thesis statement))

　　Body paragraph 1: Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal story – a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “woods so dark that his hands disappeared before his eyes”

　　Body paragraph 2: Bogard’s argument is also furthered by his use of allusion to …

　　Body paragraph 3: Finally, Bogard makes subtle yet efficient use of rhetorical questioning to persuade his audience that natural darkness preservation is essential.

　　从example 1中，我们可以汲取一种写作技巧，即把introductory paragraph的thesis statement中的三点分为三段在body paragraph中按顺序一一阐述，我们还可以参考以上满分作为所用的句式，给予一些变化，提取加工为模仿的素材。

　　下面，我们看下一范例：

　　Example 2.

　　By using careful word choice, undeniable precise statistics, and effective language devices, the author successfully convinces his readers that…

　　而在接下来发展的3个body paragraph中，可以分别这样阐述：

　　Body paragraph 1. In an attempt to … the author utilizes clever euphemisms and carefully selected word to describe … (careful word choice)

　　Body paragraph 2. Building upon the …generated from careful word choice, the author continues successfully building the case by providing several key statistics which support his position. (undeniable precise statistics)

　　Body paragraph 3. The author also employs creative language devices which appeal to both our emotions and our logic to complete his argument (effective language device)

　　以上例子均可以作为我们发展段落的模版句，并作为仿句的素材和蓝本进一步练习，学为己用。比如body paragraph的第一句topic sentence可以表达为 in an attempt to …/in an effort to build the validity of her position/ support his claim/ add power to his argument/ accentuate his perspective, the author …，还可以表达为分词句式，如utilizing carefully selected world choice/ building upon…, the author employs … to add to the persuasiveness of the essay.

　　以上只是一个例子，其实不仅仅是每个body paragraph的topic sentence, 仿句素材和模版素材在张老师的课堂上贯穿在任何环节。我们需要认识到，写作提高的必经之路是模仿，但模仿绝不是机械的模仿，而且是有意识、有计划、有目的的进行模仿训练。只有经过模仿这个必经之路，积累了足够的素材，才能自如的写出更加优质的作为来应对新SAT写作。

　　SAT写作高分材料

　　I'M GOING RUNNING TODAY. I am not concerned about my calorie consumption for the day, nor am I anxious to get in shape for the winter season. I just want to go running。

　　I used to dislike running. "If you don't win this game, you're all running five miles tomorrow," the field hockey coach used to warn, during those last days of October when the average temperature seemed to be decreasing exponentially. And so, occasionally, my grief-stricken team would run numerous miserable laps around the fields. At the end of these excursions, our faces and limbs would be numb, and we would all have developed those notorious flu-like symptoms; but the running made us better in the long run, I suppose. Nevertheless, I counted down the days until the end of the field hockey season, vowing never to put on a pair of running shoes again. Then I surprised myself by signing up for outdoor track in the second half of sophomore year. I was foolish to have believed that I could ever escape this insidious and magnetic addiction。

　　Anyone would have thought that I'd be off the team in a few days, but the last week of January caught me splashing through puddles of melted ice, and February winds nearly blew me off the track. I looked forward to practices this time around, to the claps and the persistent cheers of my fellow trackies. I was feeling a "runner's high" spurred by the endorphins released by exercise. But to attribute my affinity for running solely to chemistry diminishes the personal importance that running has for me。

　　I like running—in the cool shade of the towering oak trees, and in the warm sunlight spilling over the horizon, and in the drops of rain falling gently from the clouds. Certain things become clear to me when I'm running—only while running did I realize that "hippopotami" is possibly the funniest word in the English language, and only while running did I realize that the travel section of The York Times does not necessarily provide an accurate depiction of the entire world. Running lends me precious moments to contemplate my life: while running I find time to dream about changing the world, to think about recent death of a classmate, or to wonder about the secret to college admission

　　Running is the awareness of hurdles between me and the finish line; running is the desire to overcome them. Running is putting up with aches and pains, relishing the knowledge that, in the end, I will have built strength and endurance. Running is the instant clarity of vision with which I can see my future just one hundred yards in the distance; it is the understanding that these crucial steps will determine victory or defeat。

　　Running is not the most important thing in the world to me, but it is what fulfills me when time permits. And right now, before the sun goes down, I like to take advantage of the road that lies ahead。
