新sat作文范文
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
新SAT写作评分标准详细解读
新SAT写作评分标准详细解读 三立在线SAT频道为大家带来新SAT写作评分标准详细解读一文，希望对大家SAT备考有所帮助。更多精彩尽请关注三立在线SAT频道! 一、新SAT写作如何评分 新SAT写作评分标准在OG里分为三个方面：阅读、分析和写作。每部分的分数为1-4分。考生可得到的分数为2-8分。新SAT对写作字数没有硬性要求，一般写到500单词左右即可。文章以5段为宜。那具体通过哪些方面来评分呢? 首先，作文能够明确辨识文章的中心观点、证据和各种写作手法。第二，作文能够评估理解文章证据、展开方式，修辞手法的作用和使用价值。第三，作文能够准确选择和引用文中细节语句辅助自己文章的展开。最后，作文是一篇高效组织的学术文章。另外，语言的规范也尤其重要，这里语言规范指语言表达的正确性，这包括多变的句式(不一定全是倒装句、强调句等)、精确的词汇(不一定复杂)、适当的从句(定语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句等)，但需要避免口语化的表达。 总的来说，新SAT写作要求以下几个方面：1. Make a claim. 2. Organize your argument. 3. Switch up your sentences. 4. Choose smart words. 5. Use an academic tone. 6. Use good grammar. 二、新SAT写作框架
首段是Intro段，本段清楚地表达作者的观点。 支撑段为body paragraph段。每个body paragraph段有个中心的claim 和相应的evidence. Evidence 包括：facts事实，credible sources可靠信息来源，examples例子。在支撑段中会用到很多修辞手法，常见的有：metaphor 暗喻，appeal to emotion诉诸情感，comparison/contrast比较对比，word choice词汇选择，repetition重复，propaganda夸大宣传。 结尾段是conclusion段，深化作者的argument. 三、写作模板例证 Example 1 (from OG) 首段：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 …
新SAT官方指南解读：直击新SAT作文五大变化
新SAT官方指南解读：直击新SAT作文五大变化 SAT作文五大变化： 1、考试形式变化。 从论证自己观点到分析别人如何论证观点。这可以说是新SAT作文最根本的变化，中国考生可能会感到很不适应。现行SAT要求就某个议题(议题的描述较短，长约80-100个单词)选择立场然后写一篇议论文。然而，新SAT要求考生先阅读一篇长约650-750个单词的带有观点的文章(通常选自英美报刊或是美国名人演讲)，然后要求考生分析作者(或演讲者)是如何论证他或她的观点。这感觉有点像写书评。中国学生写议论文并不陌生，但若要分析别人如何论证观点，这种模式对于我们来说是新鲜的，也是中国学生并不擅长的，因此改革将给我们带来很大挑战。 2、考点变化。 现行SAT作文主要考察英文写作能力。然而，新SAT作文(虽然还叫作文)可以说是考察学生阅读、分析和写作的“三栖”作战能力。具体讲就是：学生先要把给出的一篇不短的文章读懂，然后分析作者如何在文章中论证观点的，最后要用写作的手段将分析过程表达出来。因此，新SAT作文打分分三项评分：阅读、分析和写作，每项分值为2-8分，分值不合并计算。 3、从必考到选考。 现行SAT作文是必考，新SAT作文是可选。但是这里需要多说一句的是，选考并不意味着我们就可以不考了。事实上，但凡要考SAT的学生都心系美国名校梦，如今进入名校的竞争惨烈，如果别的学生考了作文，但自己没考，毫无疑问这在申请中将失分。因此可以预见，即使新SAT变为选考，但大部分学生还是会选择要考。 4、考试时间长度发生变化。
现行SAT作文时长为25分钟，新SAT作文为50分钟。相应新SAT作文理想长度也增加到600个单词左右，考生的工作量加大。 5、在考试中出现顺序变化。 现行SAT作文出现在考试首部分，新SAT作文将出现在整个SAT考试最后部分。总的说来，变化对考生注意力和体力是一种考验，因为在新SAT考试中，考生在完成了阅读和数学后已经较累，但接下来还有50分钟的阅读+分析+写作，任务不轻。 扫描二维码限时获取免费视频课程。 来源于：时代焦点

新SAT写作变为选考三大原因介绍
新SAT写作变为选考三大原因介绍若不是考生所申请的学校要求提供作文成绩，考生是能够自主选择是不是参加此项考试。但果真是这样的吗?根据最新SAT出台后，针对选考的设定出现了许多的争论。实际上所谓选考只是针对拥有选择权的学校来说，而针对广大考生，名为「选考」，实为「必考」，所以以下介绍了新SAT写作变为选考三大原因。 理由一：美国顶尖大学的要求 美国大部分大学，尤其是排名考前的大学，全部需要大家提供新SAT写作成绩。到现在为止美国排名前10的大学中，已经有了4 所大学在官方文件里明确表示要大家提交新SAT写作成绩，它们是普林斯顿、耶鲁、斯坦福和加州理工。其中只有2所大学(哥伦比亚和宾夕法尼亚)表示了根本不要大家提供新SAT写作成绩，但是剩下的4 所大学(哈佛、芝加哥、麻省理工和杜克大学)还没有给出针对新SAT 写作的具体申明。此外现在排名在20 位、在中国学生中知名度较高的加州伯克利也明确提出要求考生提供新SAT写作成绩。这5所大学对新SAT 写作的态度代表了一种趋势，即大部分学校，特别是排名靠前的大学，非常看重考生的新SAT 写作成绩。所以如果你的目标是这些一流大学的话，新SAT 写作于你而言便是「必考」项了。 理由二：新SAT写作成绩可以成为加分项 介绍了有关针对新SAT 写作的态度，有一些学校尽管不明确要求考生提供，但「推荐」考生提供，比如排名第14 的布朗大学。表示了若大家在申请材料中附上作文成绩，会是一个加分项。此点同样适用在还没有给出对新SAT 写作态度的大学，例如上文提及的哈佛、芝加哥、麻省理工和杜克，还有全美排名在10-20 之间的约翰霍普斯金大学、达特茅斯学院、西北大学、康奈尔大学、范德堡大学、圣路易斯华盛顿大学和莱斯大学。实际上大部分
SAT满分作文-6
独家收集：SAT满分作文范文大全（六） 6. Traditionally the term “heroism” has been applied to those who have braved physical danger to defend a cause or to protect others. But one of the most feared dangers people face is that of disapproval by their family, peers, or community. Sometimes acting courageously requires someone to speak out at the risk of such rejection. We should consider those who do so true heroes. Assignment: Should heroes be defined as people who say what they think when we ourselves lack the courage to say it? Plan and write 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. Sample Essay There are many types of heroes in real life or in literature, but the most courageous type of all is the one who is willing to stand up and say what they believe in even when everyone else lacks the courage to do so. Many people are content to go through life following the crowd. They will themselves to believe in ideas that society says is right, even when they know in their heart it is wrong. A hero is one who is willing to give up his position in society in order to tell people what he believes is right. The abolitionists, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and William Lloyd Garrison, were heroes in their own time. Before the Civil War, people in all sections of the country thought that African Americans were animals and treated them as such. During the reform period of the Jacksonian era William Lloyd Garrison began to publish his abolitionist newspaper The Liberator. In this newspaper he demanded that the African American slaves be set free immediately, without any compensation to their owners. Because his view on slavery was against the common belief of the population he was not received well. Throughout his life he was given multiple death threats and one of his abolitionist friends was killed. Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitio nist after Garrison’s time, but she was received in much of the same way. After the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was released, she wrote the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. It was a story of a slave living in the South and the cruelty of his owner. The inhumanness of the owner caused
新 SAT 写作题型解读
新SAT写作题型解读 本文以College Board给出的官方练习题“Let There Be Dark”为例，深入了解新SAT写作（Essay）题型的写作要求以及应对方法。让同学们学会解读题干，了解写作评分标准。 接下来是新SAT写作题型解读，以“Let There Be Dark”（原文链接）官方练习题为例，给大家梳理写作需要大家注意的要点。 一.考试性质 虽然新SAT写作的官方定位为「任选」（optional）项，但事实上，这只是针对拥有选择权的大学来说。对于考生本身，就算目前所申请的学校不需要提供新SAT作文成绩，也不能保证之后申请的学校也不需要，所以早点通过可以有备无患，不必额外花钱重新参加一次考试，避免耗时耗力。事实上美国排名靠前的大学（如普林斯顿、耶鲁）都明确提出要求考生提供新SAT写作成绩，这说明新SAT写作虽然名义上是「选考」，但对于那些想进名校的考生来说，实际上是「必考」。退一步讲，而且就算考生申请的学校不要求提供新SAT写作成绩，如果附上，也算作加分项。如此锦上添花的事，何乐而不为呢？ 新SAT写作共50分钟，在这段时间里，考生需要阅读一篇文章，并据此写出一篇逻辑严谨、结构清晰的分析性文章。需要注意的是，考生本身不能对文章观点做出评判，只需要立足原文客观分析其论证过程即可，这是新SAT写作和老SAT写作最大的不同之处。 二.题干解读 新SAT写作题目包括两个引导和一篇文章。需要注意的是，两个引导部分的大部分内容是固定的。引导1点明新SAT写作的三个层面，即考生需要从「论据」（evidence）、「逻辑」（reasoning）和「修辞」（stylistic or persuasive elements）三方面展开分析。「论据」是作者用来证明观点成立的依据，包括事实、数据、实验结果、个人经历等；「逻辑」是作者的论证思路，即借助论据证明观点成立的过程。「修辞」侧重作者的语言表达和情感激发对读者的说服作用。引导2一方面会给出作者的结论，提示考生选用文中最有代表性的论证手法进行分析，不必面面俱到；另一方面会提示考生，写作应该立足于分析原作者的论证过程，而不能表露自己个人对原文观点的认同或者反对。 阅读文章是一篇议论文，字数在650到750之间，来源多为已出版发行的报刊杂志，如The Economist，New York Times，Washington Post等。文章题材多元，涵盖文学、艺术、科学、政治、社会等各个层面，但专业性不强，考生即使没有专业背景也可以读懂。

【备考攻略】巧做新SAT阅读精读 学大师级写作精华
【备考攻略】巧做新SAT阅读精读学大师级写作精华 SAT改革后的 social science 方面的文章有相当一部分是关于科技媒体与人类生活之间的关系的讨论， 可以给到我们很多启发和参考。今天摘选的这两篇文章可以作为科技媒体类议论文的sample essays 来 鉴赏和精读。那么，我们一起来巧读SAT文章，学学大师级的写作精华吧。 1、June 2016 SAT Real Test This passage is adapted from Stephen Coleman, Scott Anthony, and David E. Morrison, “Public Trust in the News.”2009 by Stephen Coleman. 这篇亚太区阅读真题的开头段写得很 insightful，可以广泛适用于不同出国类考试题目的背景介绍或个人观点。我们先来看文章的开头段： The news is a form of public knowledge. Unlike personal or private knowledge (such as the health of one’s friends and family; the conduct of a private hobby; a secret liaison), public knowledge increases in value as it is shared by more people. The date of an election and the claims of rival candidates; the causes and consequences of an environmental disaster; a debate about how to frame a particular law; the latest reports from a war zone – these are all examples of public knowledge that people are generally expected to know in order to be considered informed citizens. Thus, in contrast to personal or private knowledge, which is left to individuals to pursue or ignore, public knowledge is promoted even to those who might not think it matters to them. In short, the circulation of public knowledge, including the news, is generally regarded as a public good which cannot be solely demand-driven. 2、May 2016 SAT Real Test This passage is adapted from John Bohannon, “Why You Shouldn’t Trust Internet Comments.”2003 by American Association for the Advancement of Science. 这是另外一篇亚太区的阅读真题，开头段同样写得很精彩： The “wisdom of crowds” has become a mantra of the Internet age.

SAT考试写作步骤详解
SA T考试写作步骤详解 SA T写作考试对中国考生来说是比较有难度的，大家在备考的时候，掌握一定顺序的SA T 写作步骤是十分有好处的。为了让大家更好的理解SA T写作步骤，下面分成了4个部分，进行了详细的介绍，下面教你SA T写作步骤，希望大家都可以掌握。 想要掌握适合自己的SA T写作步骤，考生需要明白在自己的SA T写作中大致要做的工作有哪些： 首先，大家需要在开篇亮出自己的观点。 其次，要清楚且富有逻辑地论证自己的观点。 最后，在写完后一定要留出时间检查自己的文章，尽可能避免犯一些小的拼写或语法错误。 SA T写作步骤：头脑风暴，列提纲，写作和检查。 这四步看起来非常的普通，和我们平时的写作很像。但是，SA T写作有自己的要求和考试的特点，而且时间非常紧张，需要大家经过一定时间的练习才能达到。 下面具体来解释一下这几个SA T写作步骤： 一、头脑风暴 首先看到SA T写作的题目，根据Prompt和assignment来确定自己的写作观点，然后再寻找相关的例子来支持自己的观点。这里一定要确保自己所选择的立场能够有至少两个例子来支撑。 二、列提纲 一旦确定了自己的SA T写作观点，接下来要做的是就是迅速列出行文的提纲。用两至三个例子来支持自己的观点。要确保所有的例子都能很切题地论证自己的观点。接下来，需要给自己的例子排序，以使他们能够更好地支持自己的观点。 三、写作 在SA T写作步骤中，正式的写作过程一定要仔细地跟随自己的提纲，但是在例子的选择上可以具有一定的弹性。因为大家在写作的过程中可能会突然想到一个新的例子。如果你觉得这个例子比之前想到的例子要好，那就迅速取代它。 什么样的例子才算是好例子呢? 好的例子首先要切题，也就是能够充分地论证自己的观点，而不是为了写例子而写例子。例子最好是关于时事、文学、历史的。当然很多关于个人经验的例子也可以论证自己的观点，但是全都是关于自己的例子不具有权威性，也很难让阅卷官喜欢。 四、检查 如果可以，在最后一定要留出3分钟左右的时间从头到尾检查一下自己的文章，确保自己没有任何拼写上的错误，尽可能减少语法上的错误。 以上就是关于SA T写作步骤的全部内容，通过上面所介绍的SA T写作步骤，大家可以在备考的时候，进行适当的练习，在练习的过程中，一定要对时间问题进行更加严格的把握，以免在考试的时候发生时间不够的情况。 更多信息请查询四达教育官网：https://www.360docs.net/doc/aa7402659.html,
SAT写作满分范文鉴赏 04
Is the opinion of the majority-in government or in any other circumstances-a poor guide? The entire idea of democracy centers around “majority rule”，where laws and standards are put into effect if most of the citizens support it. However, if people concentrate on only the majority in each circumstance, they often forget the voices and rights of the minorities. Simply because a person is in the minority of an opinion does not mean he can be ignored, for in a true democracy all the citizens are guaranteed the same rights. Thus in some circumstances strictly following the opinions of the majority is a poor guide to determining what actions to take. The days before America’s Civil War, when slavery was prevalent, demonstrate that following majority rule often fails to respect people’s moral rights and liberty. The majority of white people in the early 1800’s supported slavery because of the benefits they received from the suppressed blacks. Thus, the government reluctantly allowed slavery to be legal in America, despite the terrible sufferings of the slaves. The degraded slaves underwent uncountable terrifying experiences-they were beaten, separated from their families, and forced to toil laboriously in fields their entire lives. And because the government believed “majority ruled”，the slaves lived in such conditions until the Emancipation Proclamation was written during the bloody Civil War. Had the government not followed the opinions of the clamoring whites, slavery could have been abolished much sooner, and much suffering could have been avoided. Thus, in this circumstance of freedom vs. suppression, the opinion of the majority served as a poor guide to follow by the U.S. government. Furthermore, the effects of majority rule impact Americans today, for there are many unsolved, controversial issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and homosexual marriages. In the case of “gay rights”，the majority of Americans oppose people of the same sex marrying, and most of the states’ laws reflect this opinion. However, ignoring the w ishes of gays and lesbians by enacting these laws will leave many of them unhappy because they cannot legally “tie the knot” with the person they love. The U.S. Constitution declares that everyone has the right to pursue happiness, but by banning gay marriages, some may be barred from the happiness of marriage. In addition, many oppose stem cell research because they are angered by the fact that embryos are created and then destroyed. Once again, though, if the government passes a law banning such research, the minority may suffer. Stem cell research may save lives by using the cells to specialize in a certain area. Those who would benefit from the discoveries of stem cell research may die 王杰西卡的新SA T满分作文译文： “多数人做主的原则”是否会是个误导? 民主的整个观念是基于“多数人做主的原则”。如果多数公民支持，法律和标准也就因此产生。然而，如果事事集中在多数人身上，人们就会忘记少数人的声音和权利。不能因为持有少数人的观点，这些人就该被忽视，因为真正的民主意味着所有的公民都有一样的权利。所以在一些情况下，严格地跟随多数人的意见行事便会误入歧途。 美国南北战争前，奴隶制猖狂，就说明了多数人做主的原则常损害人们的道德权利和自
