篇2:SAT作文分经验
SAT作文分经验分享
在刚刚11月的SAT中得到老师青睐,作文竟然得了12分.不过小生的一位朋友也得了12分,可见作文满分并不是很难的事情。下面谈几点建议:
1.建议大家多学习范文。大家练习的时候不妨先看题目,然后在25分钟之内完成一篇文章,完成后和范文比较,这样可以明显发现自己的弱点和可以改进的.地方,得到提高。
2.一定要提高速度。这是至关重要的!考试的时候一共才25分钟,一般情况下只能用90秒左右的时间进行构思,写作的时候不要停顿,不要在意单词拼写错误.SAT对单词拼写并不重视,一篇文章里有两三个拼写错误是不要紧的。不要太注重书写,只要写的字容易辨认就行了。
但是不要涂改,卷面整洁还是有必要的。最后一段一定要写完,写的不好没关系,这样文章才是完整的。写好之后检不检查无所谓,本人当时就只用10秒中浏览了一下,当然不可能有任何效果。
3.建议大家写的结构是:综述举例举例总结的形式,这是SAT 与托福的不同点。SAT 一般只要分析一个层次,但一定要分析透彻。
篇3:SAT考前最后一周复习经验
最后一周如何安排复习重心从整体来看我觉得在最后这一段时间将重心放在阅读上并不是特别好,因为阅读的能力提高,其实还是需要一个较长的时间积累的,
SAT考前最后一周复习经验
。放在两个方面比较好,一个是数学,一个是语法客观题部分。为什么呢?原因是因为对学生的调查发现,很多学生在最后没有达到自己期望的SAT的分数,真正的差距并不是来自阅读,有的时候也不一定来自语法,而是在数学上,因为可能你只犯了三个错误就已经损失接近100分。所以我建议在最后这4天里面,同学针对数学的复习千万不要大意,有很多同学在之前的时候是没有复习数学的,重心都放在阅读部分,现在是时候复习数学了。OG当中数学题必须一道一道做,中国学生不足并不在知识点,而在数学语言的表达。在短时间内做大量的数学题,去了解数学题的表达模式,是非常必要的。
一个25分钟的,或者20分钟左右的一个数学,中国学生完成需要大概10分钟,所以一套卷子做下来,也就花30到40分钟,一天做两到三套。有一个小规律,就是往往在第一次考SAT的时候,数学能达到800分的,往往是学校里数学成绩中上的学员。他们知道这是自己的数学不是最好的,因而会认真去准备。有些表达方式在OG里面都有,如果之前没见过,考试第一次见到肯定蒙。
语法题的解读及提升
陆毅:第二个部分就是我们说的SAT语法题,因为语法题几乎不受单词影响,或者说它对于句子的要求并不是特别高,主要的考察就是语法。如果你上过课,最好把老师上课讲课的规律重新拿出来看看。之前是做了大量的题,现在你要做的事情就是总结,把你曾经做过题的错误的题目拿出来,跟老师的规律进行对比,不同的考试的辅导书,在出题的时候有各自的特点,所以针对老师的某几套规律是非常实用的,所以因此需要针对性的把这规律拿出来看一看,针对错的题目看看,我觉得这是最后需要做的一个重要环节。
最后的这五天我建议做一套真题模拟一下,真题的获得,现在留留学上面也是有的,其他网站也会有一些电子版的真题,我建议可以做一套。不要做太多,做这一套真题的概念就是从早上比如说9点钟开始,模拟考试的真实长度,确定自己的速度能否跟上考试。模考的作用就是帮我们在最后的时候发现一些操作问题,不要因为模考的成绩不是很好就影响自己的心态。
最后的五天写作文也是要分析的最后的五天写作文也是要做好准备的,老师上课的时候帮助大家准备了一些自己写的最顺手的素材。现在把这些素材拿出来,每天选择一些题目,在网上找到一些真题的写作题目,拿出来构思一下,我建议不一定要全部写出来,但是要把大纲列出来,比如准备5到6个素材,包括人物类、包括历史类、包括现代社会类、包括IT类、包括体育类,来自不同领域的。这个时候可以做一个小练习,针对某一个题目,用你素材库中的3个不同的素材,写出三篇不同立意的文章。不妨认认真真写五道题,每道题构思两到三个方式,能拓宽你的思路。
当然还需要一些基本的句法的写作联系,我们称之为写作习惯,
备考资料
多联系,多写,可以起到很好的作用。阅读最后阶段的提高:对单词的复习需要着重点阅读我觉得短时间的提高是不大可能了,但是有一点是可以提高的,那就是对单词的掌握。OG当中的单词必须牢牢的掌握和总结,历年的真题如果有可能的话去总结一下。Barron词汇表每天需要快速的过,比如前面有黑色方块的那些词。最后几天在红宝书中前面打星号的词也是最重要的
阅读当中其实填空题我个人的建议是这样的,因为填空题,以OG作为最后的范本,熟悉句型和逻辑顺序,顺带要复习一下单词,对填空来说基本上已经足够了,因为词汇还是比较关键的。OG做的比较熟练,问题不会特别多。
对于篇章阅读,我的建议是保持,每天你至少要去读3到4篇文章,可以从普林斯顿和kaplan,只要保证每天能够阅读足够的量就可以了。一句话OG是咱们最需要抓住的一个教材,这是技术层面的。 保障层面:心理或者身体层面怎么做好具体的安排接下来就是保障层面,你的心理层面,或者身体层面怎么做好具体的安排。
第一,开始调整自己的生物钟,最好能够在一周左右开始调整自己的生物钟。现在很多的同学,因为学校的实际情况--在校学生,所以调整自己生物钟似乎不是很现实的事情,但是到最后两三天时间还很可能去请假,晚上不要睡的太晚,有很多同学养成习惯,晚上12点,1点才睡,这对考试是很不利,尽量把时间控制 到11点左右睡觉。然后早上7点起,养成这样的习惯,这样你考试的时候大脑处在正常的水平。
第二,在你早上起来以后,你可以拿出OG当中的一篇文章来做一个复习,就是说不要让考试卷子上面的英语成为你今天读进去的第一个英语单词,也就是说千万不要“裸考”,很多东西没有准备就去了,考试一开始你就会紧张,看到英文有时候会反应不过来,写作的时候你脑子里面没有成型的文字,这就是一个灾难。因此我觉得OG里面很多文章写的相当不错,所以你早上起来以后,花20、30分钟时间浏览一下英文,你脑子开始运转起来。这时候你再去考试你就会发现无论是写作,或者是阅读会很顺畅。
第三,我个人建议可以带几块巧克力进去,因为整个考试时间比较长,因为好多同学考到最后很饿。早上很紧张,吃不下东西,也不能吃太多,带几块小的巧克力进去以,一个小时的时候吃一下,第二个小时再吃一块,虽然看起来感觉上没有任何效果,但是无论是从你的心理上,还是身体上都有很好的镇定作用。
第四,如果你在考试,当时你坐在考场上面发现自己特别紧张,因为考生又和在国内的考试不一样,去了国外,听不懂这个监考老师说的英语,很容易造成心理上的不适。当你感到紧张的时候,你双手握拳,开始用力,直到你觉得力量用到极致了,然后放松,这是一个比较好的方法,反复两到三次以后你就体会到什么叫放松。放松对考试是有帮助的。
最后,如果在考场上发现监考老师说的话你听不懂,一定要举手,反复的进行询问,因为不管是香港也好,新加坡也好,他们说的英文你都不一定能听懂,因为他们都有一些地方特色在里面,因此在之前复习考试流程很重要。做到心中有数,你可以搜一下留留学,或者其他网站出现的考试流程方面的东西,再仔细看一看,做好自己的准备,这样对你解决自己的心理紧张感也比较有用。
总体,来讲最后四到五天解决的问题就是这几个方面,第一技术上把握数学和写作--短时间还能提高的部分,阅读加以保持,单词每天都要花一个小时到两个小时,早上花一个小时,晚上花一个小时去看。应考过程当中做好万全的准备,你的纸笔都要准备好,还有计算器也要带过去,然后计算器的电池一定要准备好,事先检查好,然后考试当天要调整好心态。最后考试的时候不要太紧张,带上一些必要的食物,保证在考试整个过程当中,心态平和。
篇4:sat满分作文
In a world where economic prosperity and “getting ahead” in work and technology are highly valued, creativity and the arts are often shunted in favor of more “practical” pursuits.
Students abandon dreams of acting or painting in order to major in medicine, computer technology, or engineering: highly profitable and scientific fields. Even with the advances in these fields, however, there is still a need for creativity in our world, because seeing things in a new way can make all the difference.
Today, more and more public schools are forced to abandon their arts programs to make time for subjects like science and math: subjects in which all students must have a basic knowledge in order to succeed in higher education. However, by leaving these programs behind, children are deprived of the creative stimulation that the arts provide, and are taught to view the world in “black and white” terms: one right answer to every problem.
With a view such as this, how will children perform in the future? It may be assumed that all people will see things the same way, and propose only one solution to a problem, failing to see the bigger picture.
Creativity has obviously influenced earlier generations in a positive way, so there is no need to eliminate creativity from our world. What would have happened if Franklin Roosevelt had never proposed his New Deal? The Great Depression might have persisted for some time, robbing even more families of their chance at prosperity and happiness. However, by proposing a new, creative solution for the problem of the U.S.’s depression,
FDR pulled the nation out of its slump. Another example of how creativity has positively influenced the world happened just recently,
with the introduction of hybrid cars. These new cars do not rely on as much oil as other cars do in order to operate, using alternative energy sources instead. Without the creative minds behind the invention of these cars, the world would rely so much on its limited oil reserves that fuel would eventually run out. Because of creativity, the world has a chance to find other energy sources.
Though these practical applications for creativity are conducive to everyone, the common man benefits even more from the stimulation that the arts provide. In a world dominated by political powers and torn apart by war, entertainers in the arts can inspire hope and change in everyone.
A child watching a Charlie Chaplin film might decide to join the gymnastics team, or a woman observing a Monet painting in a museum might become an elementary school art teacher: who knows? The arts can transport people to other places, into different ways of thinking.
The importance of creativity in the world today is enormous,
for it has both pragmatic and “important” applications. Creativity is both a source for inspiration and a problem-solving method, and without it, our world would greatly suffer.

SAT优秀作文
Prompt:
When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you, and be a loser. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.--Mary Kay Ash
Assignment:
What is your view of the idea that every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your po-sition with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or obser-vations.
Essay Sample:
Every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity, if one has the right attitude or perspective. People with this attitude are buoyant, not easily discouraged, and welcome challenges and adversity. One personal example took place in sixth grade, when I broke my hand by falling off my bicycle. The doctor had to put it into a cast.
The cast was a real obstacle. It was on my right hand, the one I write with. It looked like homework would be impossible! But I learned to type with one hand, and I did my English and social studies work on the typewrite. My mom helped me by writing out my math homework based on answers I gave her. The expe-rience sure helped my typing! It also made me learn the value of work, and gave me a chance to really learn to appreciate my mother.
篇6:SAT作文技巧
SAT作文技巧分享
最后一点关于语言,这是个很大的话题,今天只谈谈里面的一个小方面,就是中国同学受中式思维的影响比较久,在写英文句子的时候也显的`有些散,短句太多,有些句子貌似很长但细细看发现还是and连接的两个短句,显得不是很紧凑。比如下面这个句子:
Conscience can illustrate the right and wrong in the developing society and the truly value we exist in the world. Money and power are just our achievement.
首先句子想表达是良心很重要,因为给了我们是非观,同时让我们明白我们生存的意义,但是句子语法错误还是有的。第二句话的跳跃太快,突然变成钱和力量只是我们的成就,让读者觉得很困惑。
我做了如下的修改 :
To me, conscience is a stronger motivator in comparison with money, power and fame, for it not only shows us what is right and wrong but also the value of our existence, namely, what we can contribute to the society. 我进一步细化了概念,为后面写例子做铺垫。其中第二点说生存的价值即对社会的贡献,可以谈到很多人,比如Andrew Carnegie 和Bill Gates,都是把万贯家财捐献给社会的人。
以上从三个方面作了简单的点拨,不过作文绝对是一个长线工作,需要考生们大量的时间去练习和修改。不过作为赛达的同学要始终对自己充满足够信心,因为有勇气来挑战这个考试,本身就是一件很了不起的事了,你们都是很棒的学生,一定能通过自己的努力去获得自己想要的生活。

篇11:sat学习计划
SAT考试对英语阅读水平要求非常高,所以提高英语速读能力非常重要。那具体要怎么提高呢?让我们来看看下面的说明。
很多学生都在苦苦找寻提高SAT阅读能力的方法,因为SAT阅读是整过SAT考试中最大的挑战。有些学生或者家长认为SAT阅读的关键是词汇量的问题。这是一个典型的误解。词汇量是阅读的前提,但阅读能力绝对不等同于词汇量。我们必需意识到,广泛的阅读加上词汇量的积累才是有效提高SAT阅读能力的方法。
那么,这个词汇量多少为好?我认为大约5000-6000的词汇量就足以让学生开始针对托福的阅读训练,而针对SAT的阅读训练,我认为词汇量最好在8000以上。但同时我们必需清醒地意识到,记忆单词是一件非常枯燥和困难的工作。单词如果不在阅读中得以强化,是很难牢固记忆的。因此,单词记忆和阅读必需要同步进行,但单词的积累略微超前于阅读训练。
了解了提高SAT阅读能力的方法以后,我们就要对自己的学习有一个长期的规划,假设我们从初三入学开始计算这三、四年的规划,整个过程大致应该是这样的。
第一年SAT学习计划
1、初三上学期,争取把词汇量提高到3000,同时完成两万字相当新概念英语三难度的文章的精读(这里没有搞错,就是新概念三,二的难度实在太低)。
2、初三寒假,把词汇量再进一步提高1000,到4000左右,同时完成一万字相当新概念英语三难度的文章的精读。
3、初三下学期,把词汇量提高5000左右,同时完成四万字相当新概念英语三难度的文章的精读。
4、初三暑假,把词汇量提高到6500左右,同时完成大概两万字相当新概念英语四难度的文章的精读。
第二年SAT学习计划
5、高一上学期,把词汇量提高到7500左右,同时完成大概三万字相当新概念英语四难度的文章的精读,并开始对阅读速度提出比较高的要求(不低于100WPM-words per minute),同时启动写作训练(以下写作训练一直维持到考前)。
6、高一寒假,把词汇量提高至9000左右,同时完成大概四万字的相当于托福难度的文章的精读,并提高阅读速度至120WPM。
7、高一下学期,把词汇量提高至10000左右,同时完成大约六万字相当于托福难度的文章的精读,并提高阅读速度至140WPM。
8、高一暑假,提高词汇量至1左右,同时完成大约六万字相当于托福难度的文章的精读,并提高阅读速度至150WPM。
第三年SAT学习计划
9、高二上学期,巩固词汇,同时完成大约两万字相当于SAT难度的文章的精读,并维持阅读速度至150WPM,并开始托福的针对性训练(包括口语、听力、写作)。
10、高二寒假,完成托福考试,并完成大约两万字的相当于SAT难度的文章的精读。
11、高二下学期,启动SAT应试训练,同时适当扩充词汇量,在6月份进行第一次SAT考试。
12、高二暑假,进行集中的SAT应试训练。
除了平时的基础词汇+阅读训练外,还可以通过专业快速阅读训练软件训练英语快速阅读能力,很多学员会问,软件上的方法适用于英语阅读或英语考试吗?答案是肯定的。首先,快速阅读的思维虽然在古代中国也不鲜见,但专业的快速阅读训练却是起源于西方,所以,英语快速阅读同中文快速阅读一样的, 都是可以训练的。其次,软件上的快速阅读原理和西方快速阅读原理一致,所以,软件上的训练也可以直接作用于英语快速阅读训练。最后,虽然软件暂时只有中文阅读素材的训练及测试,但是精英特速读记忆训练软件支持自定义素材添加,如果您有自己的英语资料,可以加入练习。
篇12:新sat写作
A Call for National Service。
It is widely acknowledged that a man in possession of certain unalienable rights will not automatically undertake the corresponding responsibilities. With an intense sense of social responsibility, American writer E. J. Dionne Jr. proclaims that civil obligations should be implemented nationwide in his article “ A call for national service” in Washington post. He asserts unavoidable rights must be execrated. Strategies E. J. Dionne Jr. employs to bolster his argument include a personal anecdote, a citation of compelling polls, a quotation from the prestigious American documentation, compare and contrast, paralleled structure and sincere appeal to pathos.
E.J. Dionne starts his article by illustrating that “ here is the sentence in the Declaration of Independence we always remember” and “here is the sentence we often forget”, which are the paralleled structures to convey his urgency and attentive concern for the issue that American citizens should cherish their obligations. Furthermore, he directly enumerates that the previous is on rights and the latter obligations. This distinct contrast is utilized to establish an emphasis on his latter point by highlighting it as a coexisting factor relative to the former mentioned rights in American life. This literal tool serves as a strong technique to draw the audience into the issue addressed in the wiring.
By citing a quotation from “the Declaration of Independence” the author successfully establishes an authoritative image in the readers’ heart that he is knowledgeable and thoughtful. E.J. Dionne’s presentation of a numerical statistics based on the accurate “237” year and age range “18 and 28” strengthens his weight to his claim. Moreover, the author demonstrates a personal anecdote that “last week, the Aspen Institute gathered a politically diverse group of Americans…to declare a commitment to give a year of service to the country”, which provides a baseline for readers to find credence and credibility with the author’s argument. This anecdote instantly connects the author and readers closely which leads to a spiritual resonance.
Dionne Jr. reasons that not only Americans could enjoy their rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness freely but also should assume their obligations on the solemn pledge of lives, fortunes and sacred honor. “There are no quick fixes to our sense of disconnection, but there may be a way to restore our sense.” He first raises a precaution in the readers’ heart then offers a sound solution to show the stringent and well-organized thinking pattern. Subsequently, the author exemplifies an occurrence last week, the precise time flow line, to underline the viewpoint that “ we do, indeed, owe something to our country and we owe an enormous debt”.
Dionne utilizes specific diction to enhance his argument to convince his readers. He employs personal pronoun such as “ we” for the aim to intrigue his personnel involvement as part of this calling which fortifies his persuasion as well as consolidates his credibility in the preachment. Through the careful word selection, Dionne enhances his proposition by ascribing the liability as a fundamental issue. This augments for the persuasion of his readers by informing them that this is a significant issue that all people should be aware of and take heed to.
Following the calling, the author lists the solutions and the challenges in the final parts of the article. He makes an efficient use of rhetorical question to challenge his readers to ponder that “ who knows whether the universal exception of service would change the country as much as Mc Chrystal hopes.” By raising this question, Dionne draws out profound comprehension on the proposal. “It’s based on the belief that certain unalienable rights entail certain unavoidable responsibilities”-----the author inspires his readers to feel responsible for the fate of America’s future. This strategy is obviously an appeal to pathos, calling the readers to act resolutely and adding the emotionally-infused spur to the American citizens.
Overall, E. J. Dionne Jr. provides a coherent and strong logical argument that all Americans should enjoy the unalienable rights that have been prescribed in “the Declaration of Independence” and shoulder the obligations cross the lines of class, race, background, politics, ideology as well. He takes full advantages of a personal anecdote, compelling polls, an authoritative quotation, compare and contrast, paralleled structure and heart-felt appeal to emotions to thoroughly illustrate his steadfast calling for national service.

篇14:SAT作文常见错误
SAT作文常见错误归纳
在SAT作文中,很多考生在语法方面的失误和表义上的含糊不清直接导致了语言质量的下降,甚至很多时候无法让考官理解他们所要表达的意思,因而使作文停留在6分-8分的阶段而无法更进一步。句子结构,也因此成为很多同学的“痛脚”之一。在本文中会根据同学的实战演练,对作文中经常出现的各种错误加以概括和总结,使同学们更好的了解语法和表义方面一些频繁出现的错误,从而更好的改善自己作文的语言质量。
错误一:句子结构冗余或缺失
很多同学虽然对于基本的句子结构条条是道,娓娓道来,真正应用在自己所写的长句中的时候,却容易顾此失彼,错误百出。很多时候是因为过于关注句子的长度和用词的难度,却忽略了基本的主谓宾搭配已经歪曲了。
Steve Jobs, the brilliant and talented leader of Apple, who wins the battle in harsh consumer market with great creativity.
Thomas Edison who was one of the greatest inventors in the history. In his life, the most famous and important invention was electric light.
这两个句子反映了7分左右的考生最常见的语法错误。因为用比较长的同位语或定语从句来修饰句子的主语,却忘记了这个句子其实已经没有谓语动词了。
According to those two examples, that’s why I agree that those people who are confident and optimistic can change their lives easily.
这个句子则是出现了另一个极端,according to…., that is why…表义过于重复。完全可以去掉其中的一个结构。
错误二:连词的'误用
很多同学都明白,在基本的语法规则里,两个句子之间一定要有连词来过渡和衔接。但是真正动笔的时候,却仍然是一“逗”到底,完全不考虑是否应该根据句意间的关系来添加连词或者把副词和介词混用为连词。
Despite many other company are capable of producing such ordinary goods, Steve Jobs uses creativity to distinguish his products and apple from the crowd.
Despite和in spite of类似,都是介词,后面应该接sth或doing sth,而不能够引导一个完整的句子。
The reason is because confidence and optimism can give people stimulation and impel them to achieve their goals.
Because是引导状语从句的连词,而不能够放在be动词后面,引导一个表语从句。这里应该把because换成that,引导表示陈述语气的表语从句。
However, during the time of inventing it, Edison had thousands of failures, but he never complained about that.
这里使用了太多的转折连词。However表示和上文形成语气上的转折,而后面一句又用了but,语气过于跳跃,让读者很难跟得上作者的思路。
错误三:逻辑主语不一致
分词结构能够很好的丰富文章的语法结构,从而改善整篇文章的语言质量。但是如果用doing或done在句首或句尾的位置做状语,则必须要注意这个动词和整个句子的主语要存在逻辑上的主谓关系。很多同学都想当然的根据自己的思路在句子中加上doing sth来表示原因或者结果,但却没有考虑好这个逻辑上的主被动关系是否存在。
His products are well-known for the unique design, adding strong functions like tapping fingers to control the phone.
这句话中adding functions的动作和主语products之间实际上是被动的关系,“产品”被“添加”上了功能,因此应该用added,而并非是adding。
Testing to have an extremely harsh disease, Stephen was predicated to live on only 2 years.
这句话中的错误类似,Stephen Hawking应该是被检测出患有严重的疾病,因此应该改为“tested”表示被动。
错误四:基本语法错误,主谓一致,名词的单复数,时态等等
这里指的是很多已经达到9分或10分的同学们仍然会在“时间紧,任务重”的考场上出现很多基本的语法错误,例如单复数错误,拼写错误,时态误用等等。而这就需要同学们在动笔时有意识的注意一些基本的语法规则,尽量减少这类错误的出现。
Nowadays, people are facing much more difficulties to be unique but creativity is a trait that worth tracing because it is well-rewarded.
Worth是形容词,因此应该在前面加上be动词。
I totally agree that people who are confident and optimistic can change their lives easier than those people who are pessimistic.
Easy是形容词,这里应该换成副词more easily。
When people have adversities, many people begin to complain the unfortunate situation, …
Complain通常作为不及物动词出现,“抱怨某事”应该加上介词about。
错误五:过渡过于生硬,频繁使用连词
有些同学受雅思托福作文的影响,总是试图把引用名人事例写成了分条列点的推理结构,因此出现了非常僵化的“一二三四五”的结构。例如:
Firstly, when Charles was 5, his little brother drowned in their mother’s backyard laundry tub in spite of Ray’s frantic efforts to save him. Secondly, Charles’ eyes began to mysteriously fail him. By the age of 7, Charles was blind. After that, he lost his beloved mother.
这一段的问题非常明显,作者应该讲述一个故事,描述发生在Ray Charles身上的各种不幸,而不是一条一条的按顺序列举出他面临的困难,从而破坏了文章的连贯性(cohesion)。
错误六:论证过于抽象
有些同学仍然对于SAT作文的高分标准有着错误的认知,认为越是艰难晦涩的文字,越是高端的用词,越能够得到高分。实际上对于一篇作文而言,逻辑的清楚而深刻,用词的恰当和简洁才是更重要的。语法结构可以适当的丰富,但是并不是无限度的使用抽象用词甚至让人难以理解作者的思路。例如:
“However” is always being seen. Sometimes the theorem testified to be quite true can be a paradox when scrutinized from a different angle.
这篇作文是论证Is there always another explanation or another point of view?这个题目。可以看出,“theorem”,“paradox”,“scrutinize”等用词实际上使这个句子显得别扭而拗口。
Change the glasses in front of your eyes and the world can be different.
“Glass in front of your eyes”出现在这里有些突然。
It makes people’s cognizance more objective and triggers a comprehensive realization.
这句话里面的cognizance和realization都比较抽象,不如换成更明确表义的词语。
Individual is a main factor.
这是 Can a small group of concerned individuals have a significant impact on the world?这篇作文的开头段中的一个句子。很明显,individual究竟是什么的重要因素,在这里没有明确的指明,因而很突兀,而且空泛。
错误七:连用小短句
这个错误和上一个正好相反。有些同学不善于组织各个句子间的逻辑关系,而且把很多小短句罗列在一起,虽然语法上没有什么大的失误,但是却使整个段落的结构零散而分散,缺少整体的逻辑性。例如:
My family used to live in a village, but my parents went to urban to work and I to study. It was a long distance, so we had to spend an average of 3.5 hours in our car everyday. We had to get up early to set out and return home late at night.
这个小段落里包括了五个短句来交代“我”的家庭背景,非常琐碎。
Liu Xiang is a famous runner in China. We have also seen him as the pride of China until recently. Back then in Olympics, Liu Xiang astonished the world by getting the first place, Chinese were so excited.
这个句群里一共有四个句子,交代了Liu Xiang的身份,荣誉,获奖,中国人的反映等,实际上完全可以再简练些,合并为两个到三个长句。

Spacewoman Stuck in Orbit with Too Much Shrimp Peggy Whitson, the American astronaut spending her 130th day in space, said on Sunday that she was happy in orbit, but maybe she brought along too much shrimp.
Sometimes, when you come to space, your tastes change. One of my favorite foods on the ground is shrimp, and up here I cant stand it, said Whitson, the science officer on the International Space Station . A quick check of the stations manifest showed that Whitson had planned more than 40 shrimp meals for her stay. The guys like it because they get all my shrimp, she said, referring to her two Russian crewmates, Valery Korzun and Sergei Treshcvev. The three members of the space stations Expedition Five team held a joint news conference with the six astronauts from the space shuttle Atlantis on Sunday. 39;m having a great time up here. Its fun to live here and do the science, said Whitson, a biochemist conducting and monitoring dozens of studies on the station. When someone asked about her plans for Christmas, Whitson said Its hard to imagine being back home because I guess I feel like this is my home right now.
I dont have my husband, but other than that, this is my home. Whitson, due to return to Earth with Korzun and Treschev aboard a U.S. shuttle in November, said some changes in space take more getting used to than others. Salsa can usually overcome space blandness. We could probably eat paper if we had it with salsa, she said. But calluses are another matter. In weightlessness, she never actually stands, but does sway about with her feet in foot restraints. It was really interesting to me to lose the calluses from the bottom of your feet and to get calluses on the top of your feet after being up here for a few months, she said.
篇16:SAT作文素材ConfronttheTraumaofCancer
SAT作文素材分享ConfronttheTraumaofCancer
In a flash moment, I went from being a happy expectant mother, to being someone afraid for her life, she told reporters.
Minutes after doctors delivered Nate by emergency C-section, Southcott went into surgery. The diagnosis was ovarian cancer.
Suddenly tears and chemotherapy overtook her life. But the lowest moment came after she lost all her hair and a free wig arrived.
She tried it on as her older son Kyler watched.
I thought I can cry about this bad wig and hell remember it, or I can laugh about it and he will remember that, Southcott said.
That was when she started laughing a lot, and found it was the perfect medicine.
I spent a lot time looking for anything humor based for cancer patients, she said. And Ill tell you what: There isnt much out there.
Using herself as a bald model, Bonnie started her own line of greeting cards and a calendar. Each pose pokes fun at the tribulations of chemo.
We desperately need to laugh, she said. Its vital to our joy.
Even though Southcotts ovarian cancer is in remission, the diagnosis is no laughing matter - a 25-percent chance she will live for another two-years.
She plans to appreciate every moment of motherhood. And she plans to laugh.
