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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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)。

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。

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 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 XX 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。

英语18种重要修辞手法

18种重要修辞手法一、语义修辞 1明喻（simile）俗称直喻，是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似关系而构成的修辞格。例如： 1.The snow was like a white blanket drawn over the field. 2.He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow. 认真观察以上各例，我们会发现它们的特点，由（as）... as, like等引导，这些引导词被称作比喻词（acknowledging word），它们是辨别明喻的最显著的特征，明喻较为直白，比喻物和被比喻物之间相似点较为明显，所以明喻是一种比较好判断的修辞手法。 2暗喻（metaphor）也称隐喻，是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似或相关关系而构成的修辞格。例如： 1.His friend has become a thorn in his side.（他的朋友已变成眼中钉肉中刺。） 2.You are your mother’s glass.(你是你母亲的翻版。) 3.Hope is a good br eakfast, but it’s a bad supper. 由以上各例可知，暗喻没有引导词，这是明喻和暗喻在形式上的最大区别。换句话说，有为明喻，没有为暗喻。如：He has a heart of stone. He has a heart like stone.很显然，前句是暗喻，后句是明喻。暗喻时，比喻物和被比喻物之间的相似点较为含蓄，猛一看它们毫无关系，实际却有着某种内在联系。谈到暗喻，有必要说说它的两种变体（variety）：博喻（sustained metaphor）和延喻（extended metaphor），它们是英语比喻中的特殊类型。（1）博喻连续使用多个喻体去比喻主体的方法就叫做博喻。比如： There again came out the second flash, with the spring of a serpe nt and the shout of a fiend, looked green as an emerald, and the reverber ation was stunning.(爆发了第二次闪电，她像蛇一样蜿蜒，如魔鬼般嘶叫，像翠玉般碧绿，轰隆隆震耳欲聋。) 这个例子中对闪电的比喻就用了三个喻体，spring of a serpen t（动态），shout of a fiend（声音），green as an emerald(颜色)，它们从不同角度绘声绘色地把闪电呈现在读者面前。由此可见，多喻体的使用其优势是单一喻体所无法比拟的。它可以多角度、多侧面、多层次、多结构地表现主体。（2）延喻据Longman Modern English Dictionary解释，延喻即make a n initial c omparison and then develop it, expanding the author’s id ea（作出初次比较再扩展，以延伸作者的意图）。请看下例： A photographer is a cod, which produces a million eggs in order that one may reach maturity. (摄影师像鳕鱼，产卵百万为的是长成一条。) 摄影师通常拍片成堆，难觅一成功之作，似鳕鱼产卵无数，长成者廖廖。故萧伯纳把摄影师先比作cod，再进一步用cod的习性比喻之，生动地道出了摄影师的艰辛。这里which后的从句就显示了延喻的功能。与一般比喻相比延喻的使用更复杂。一般比喻只需抓住主、喻体之间的相似之处，延喻不仅要注意比喻本身，还要注意延伸部分是否与喻体保持了一致。也就是说，延伸部分应当是喻体的一部分，不能游离于其外。延喻的构成分以下几种： ①由动词构成

SAT“新奇”修辞手法之understatement

SAT“新奇”修辞手法之understatement 在SAT常考的修辞方法中，除了metaphor，analogy，personification这些我们中国考生比较熟悉的修辞手法之外，还有一些很常见的但是却有些令大家摸不着头脑的修辞方法。我们总结了若干这样“新奇”的修辞手法，推出SAT“新奇”修辞手法系列，帮助大家攻克写作手法的难关。 understatement低调陈述首先我们要解释的问题是：什么叫understatement？ understatement是指“a statement that is not strong enough to express facts or feelings with full force（语气不够强，不足以表达事实或感情的陈述)。A Dictionary of Literary Terms所给的解释是：A figure of speech which contains an understatement of emphasis， and therefore the opposite of hyperbole，often used in everyday speech and usually with laconic or ironic intentions.也就是说，这种修辞格是故意使用有节制的措辞来陈述事实，故意轻描淡写，借低调与弱化语言形式来表示强调。它是与hyperbole（夸张）相对的一种修辞格。那么understatement想要达到怎样的效果？作者为什么要使用understatement呢？通过以上的定义我们也可以看出来作者使用understatement是想用一种低调与弱化的语言来表达一种强调的效果。虽然是“化大为小”，但是作者要表达的还是强调的意思。我们可以通过几个例子来理解：Last week I saw a woman flayed， and you will hardly believe how much it altered her person for the worse.上星期我看见一个女人被剥了皮，你几乎不会相信这把她变得多不好看。作者用altered一词，轻描淡写地陈述了剥女人皮这一毛骨悚然的事件。I know he is honest， and I wish I could add he were capable. 我知道他是诚实的，我还希望我能说他是能干的。此句也是用虚拟语气来体现understatement，I could add he were capable其实是在说“但他不够能干”。至今SAT阅读考试中共考了三次understatement，其中两次使用了“pretty decent”（还不错的、还可以的），可以说“pretty decent”是understatement 的标志。比如其中一次使用“pretty decent”是在OG9section9讨论音乐免费下载好不好的一组双篇中，“I take further comfort in the fact that the human species managed to produce pretty decent creative work during the 5,000 years that preceded 1710, when the Statute of Anne, the world’s first

Is the Vietnam War a wise choice? Martin Luther King Jr., the famous leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement, stated his opinion that it was totally wrong to start that war. Meanwhile, in order to strengthen his opinion, rhetorical devices, such as parallel, contrast, irony, personal anecdote, quotation, were utilized in his speech, which made his speech more persuasive and evoked the audience to stand by his side Throughout the whole passage, the use of contrast presented two extreme opposite sides, which highlighted the difference and conflicts between what is shown on TV screens to the reality of the society; the rhetorical device of parallel showed strong artistic expression of contend, which strengthened the speaker’s point of view concerning how the miserable situation the poor are facing with; it is the personal anecdote illustrated an undeniable truth of his own experience of convincing angry young men that described his opinion

英语最全修辞手法

英语常用修辞 1.Simile 明喻明喻是将具有共性的不同事物作对比.这种共性存在于人们的心里,而不是事物的自然属性。或者说是以两种具有相同特征的事物和现象进行对比，表明本体和喻体之间的相似关系，两者都在对比中出现。标志词常用like, as, seem, as if, as though, similar to, such as等. It is a figure of speech which makes a comparison between two unlike elements having at least one quality or characteristic in common. To make the comparison, words like as, as...as, as if and like are used to transfer the quality we associate with one to the other. 例如: 1>.He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow. 2>.I wandered lonely as c cloud. 3>.Einstein only had a blanket on, as if he had just walked out of a fairy tale. 4>.This elephant is like a snake as anybody can see. 这头象和任何人见到的一样像一条蛇。 5>.He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairytales and had passed me like a spirit. 他看上去好像刚从我的童话故事书中走出来，像幽灵一样从我身旁走过去。 6>.It has long leaves that sway in the wind like slim fingers reaching to touch something. 它那长长的叶子在风中摆动，好像伸出纤细的手指去触摸什么东西似的。 7>.Carlos Lehder was to cocaine transportation what Henry Ford was to cars. 2.Metaphor 隐喻,暗喻隐喻是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物,通过比较形成。这种比喻不通过比喻词进行，而是直接将用事物当作乙事物来描写，甲乙两事物之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。It is like a simile, also makes a comparison between two unlike elements, but unlike a simile, this comparison is implied rather than stated. For example, the world is a stage. 例如: 1>.Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper. 2>.Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. 3>.German guns and German planes rained down bombs, shells and bullets... 德国人的枪炮和飞机将炸弹、炮弹和子弹像暴雨一样倾泻下来。 4>.The diamond department was the heart and center of the store. 钻石部是商店的心脏和核心。 5>.All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. 6>.Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned. 7>.Time is a river, of which memory is the water. Oh my friend, what I scoop up from the river is all yearning of you.

Essay2:Is creativity needed more than ever in the world today? Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. 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

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

Is a person responsible, through the example he or she sets, for the behavior of other people? Do people depend on work—whether it is a job, schoolwork, or volunteer work—to determine what their daily activities and interactions with others should be? Do people put too much emphasis on learning practical skills? Should schools help students understand moral choices and social issues? Do newspapers, magazines, television, radio, movies, the Internet, and other media determine what is important to most people? Do we live in a time when people do not engage in serious thinking? Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? Should our perceptions of beauty be influenced by the perceptions of beauty of other people? Is praising others, even if the praise is excessive or undeserved, a necessary part of life? Are leaders necessarily people who are most capable of leadership? Is it necessary to make mistakes, even when doing so has negative consequences for other people? Are all important discoveries the result of focusing on one subject?

SAT写作中修辞手法的引用

SAT写作中修辞手法的引用 SAT写作技巧中修辞方法的引用，往往可以让同学们的作文在最后一搏中锦上添花，博取高分。为此文都国际教育小编和大家一起分享SAT写作技巧，希望对大家的SAT写作有所提高。修辞一：Simile 明喻 Simile用于比较两个不相似的事物，前后两部分用like或者as连接。如，你像王思聪一样有钱。You are as rich as Sicong Wang. 功能：Simile的主要功能是吸引读者的注意力，鼓励他们用联想的能力对作者要传达的思想进行理解。如果我说你有钱，很难让人理解你到底多么有钱，如果拿国民老公来明喻就清晰多了。举例：The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call “out there.” Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far Western than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. 分析：With the simile, “a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples,” he almost points toward a happy, prosperous side of the town for the first and perhaps only time in this passage. Not long after this sentence, however, the author describes the streets as “unnamed, unshaded, unpaved,” returning to his description of the village as desolate and empty, so destroyed that it is almost primitive. 修辞二：Metaphor 隐喻 Metaphor与Simile最大的区别是不存在“像”这个词，通常的形式是“甲是乙”。如，你是我的小苹果。功能：Metaphor和simile的功能大致相同，均为吸引读者注意力，帮助读者更好的理解文章。修辞三：Personification 拟人

sat写作经典例子：Chris Gardner

https://www.360docs.net/doc/776522752.html, SAT写作经典例子：Chris Gardner 下面为大家整理的是关于SAT写作经典例子：Chris Gardner，主要介绍了一位一直想要成为一名股票经纪人的父亲的故事，其实就是电影《幸福来敲门》的原型。大家在备考成功，选择之类的SAT写作题目的时候，可以选择恰当的切入点进行描述。 Chris Gardner Chris Gardner has become famous for his miraculous life journey from a vagrant to a reputed Wall Street stockbroker within dozens of years. Born in a poor fatherless family in 1950s, he tried multiple ways to strive for a living by himself. He ever wandered along streets with his toddler son, and got put into jail, but he never quit his dream of being a stockbroker. One of his words goes like this: “In the darkest moments of your life, the one who can help you is only yourself.” With an awareness of the significance of tenacity and diligence, Gardner finally got a chance to be trained in a brokerage in spite that he did not have any college diploma or experience. When he passed examinations and earned a license as a stockbroker, he was exhilarated. He just knew that a promising future was awaiting him. After he embarked on the track of stockbroking, things went much more smoothly. In 1987 he launched his own brokerage firm in Chicago and soon developed into a millionaire. Recently besides managing his firm and playing the role of a good father, he is devoting to philanthropic undertakings in South Africa, hoping to help the poor to live better. 克里斯?加德纳克里斯?加德纳因他的传奇人生而出名，在几十年间他从一个流浪汉摇身一变变为一位著名的华尔街股票经纪人。在二十世纪五十年代，他出生于一个穷苦家庭，从小没有父亲，只能靠自己试图用各种方式养活自己。他带着自己的儿子流浪街头，也曾踉跄入狱，但他始终没有放弃心中的梦——成为一名股票经纪人。他常说这么一句话：“在你生命中最黑暗的时刻，能帮到你的唯有你自己而已。”加德纳深知坚强和勤奋的重要性，虽然他没有任何大学文凭，也没有任何和股票经纪相关的工作经验，但是他的不懈努力最终为他赢得了一次在经纪公司培训的机会。当他通过考试并拿到经纪执照的时候，他简直乐坏了。他坚信未来是充满希望的，而他正在走向未来! 自从他开始从事股票经纪，一切都顺理成章了。在1987年他在芝加哥开设了自己的股票经纪公司，并迅速一跃成为百万富翁。最近他除了管理公司和当个好爸爸之外，也竭尽所能地投入南非的慈善事业中，他希望能够帮助南非的穷人们，让他们活得更好。
