SAT作文滿分攻略 - 城邦阅读花园


	中文作文就很難寫了，還要寫英文作文？！只有二十五分鐘的時間，到底要怎麼寫出滿分六分的文章！！　　【透徹理解SAT作文要求】　　所謂「知己知彼，百戰百勝」，SAT作文亦是如此。考作文前你需要做何準備？是誰為你的作文評分？四分與五分的差別在哪裡，五分與六分的評分標準區別在何處？是否一定要使用印刷體寫作文？透徹理解SAT作文要求，是你邁向成功的第一步。　　【充實你的例證素材庫】　　隨時為各種題目做好「戰前」準備，當然，你還需要知道怎樣才可以「打動」讀者──你的評分人。紀伯倫說過：「如果你要寫作，必須要有知識、藝術和魔術。」具體到SAT，知識便指你的例證素材（或言，你平時對閱讀知識的積累）；藝術指你的語言魅力；魔術，則是熱愛你的讀者和如何打動你的讀者的技巧和力量。　　【合理分配時間】　　如何確保自己在二十五分鐘內完成命題作文，是困擾很多學生的一個問題。對寫作步驟──審題、搜索例證、文章架構、正式寫作和修正──詳細分解、習並熟悉，可以有效分配和利用時間。考試當天，自然會得心應手。　　【關鍵在於論證】　　獲取SAT高分成績的關鍵在於論證。充分的論證素材，可以為論點提供強有力的事實依據。論點是否站得住腳，全靠論證做支撐。然而，如此重要的作文構成部分，恰恰是很多考生寫作中最薄弱的一個環節。面對題目，很多人往往有做「無米之炊」之感，立場確定了，觀點明確了，但是，用什麼論證素材來支持自己的觀點呢？
