新SAT考試中寫作雖然不算入總分，但卻是招生官考核學生的重要標尺。如何能讓新SAT寫作吸引招生官的眼睛，在招生官那拿到高分，是同學們非常關心的話題。本文小編整理了六個和考官引共鳴的方法，希望大家能夠參考。

 

1、多運用動詞和主動語態

 

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.

 

用動詞替代句子中的某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 team.

 

Action verb ：The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team.

 

如果不知如何更改動詞，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.

 

主動語態

 

例：Passive Voice ：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、在文章中使用specific words

 

少general words，多增加specific images。這兩者怎么區別呢?我們來舉個例子，car就是general words，因為車的種類有很多，而Benz SUV 就是specific words。在考試的中，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。

 

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

 

Specific ：Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.

 

例2：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3：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.

 

3、使用簡單詞匯

 

在寫作中，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，小編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。

 

General ：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.

4、使用簡單的語句

 

寫作的時候，盡量的使用簡單易懂的詞匯語句，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。

 

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。

 

5、避免使用俚語

 

SAT的寫作，要求的是一篇有專業性的寫作，而不是一篇日記或隨筆，所以俚語不應該在SAT的考試中出現。就好像是高考作文中，考生把“我要去…”寫成“俺要去…”加有地方方言的語言方式。

 

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像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，也許一竅不通。

 

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.

 

6、合并短句，截斷長句

 

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。

 

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 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).

 

例3：The wide receiver ran down the field. He caught the winning touchdown pass.

 

Improved sentences: Running down the field, the wide receiver caught the winning pass (modifying phrase).
