SAT写作:如何在结尾部分出奇制胜
在SAT写作高分技巧的掌握中,很多考生都把注意力放在了开头上,而对结尾却没有足够的重视,事实上,想要写出一篇高分SAT写作文章来,对于开头和结尾,大家都要给予足够的重视才行。下面我们来看看关于结尾方面的SAT写作技巧。
SAT写作考试的时间只有25分钟,很多考生在这样短的时间内,写完作文的主体部分就已经十分勉强的事,想要写出一个出色的结尾有一些难度。
考官在批改的同时并不期待考生可以在短短25分钟之内,就写出一篇完美完整的论文出来,只是以ESSAY的称谓,让考生可以表现出自己的思维特点和组织语言的能力,因此,并不像很多人说的那样,你必须有三段式论证,开宗明义,三个论点支撑,结尾总结。
这种对于SAT写作的总结说法本身是不准确的,比如在官方指南中,针对考题“is there always a however”,一个满分考生就是通篇给了一个例子“how the tragedy of the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression necessitated changes that led eventually to a sounder national economy”
不过,对于大多数考生写作来说,上述方法确实是初学者在短期之内,比较清晰的写作框架,尽管一味的说必须这么写略有偏颇,但是从提高和拿分的角度讲,也不足为过。
结尾段写作的目的是再次提醒读者你的中心论点。适合SAT的写作方法比较简单,即给出总结。
三段式的结构中,开头段是给出中心论点;中间段(可能是分成几个段落)是支持中心论点部分;结尾段是总结中心论点。很明显,重新陈述自己的观点并不难,只是从作文和语言的角度,一定注意不能重复开篇用过的语言和词句。
SAT写作技巧对于结尾涉及的不多,对于考生的要求也不是很高,做到收尾呼应,结尾点题就已经很好了,如果能对文章的主题做进一步的升华就是一个非常成功的结尾了。 如官方指南第二版中,第四套题目中的ESSAY:
ASSIGNMENT: Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?
一个满分考生的开篇段是:
Throughout time mankind has strived to make his life easier. Whether it be through technology, science, or theories of social interaction every generation has made one contribution. From the idea of crop rotation to the cellular telephone mankind has advanced. It can be argued however, that not all of these advancements were beneficial. Many times people are accused of “taking the easy way out”, something that is looked down upon in today’s society.
结尾段是:
While technology and science have made man’s life easier, they have not made it better. Man has become less productive and less devoted, partly, as a result of this newfound ease of life. Therefore, what makes our lives easier does not necessarily make them better.
典型的三段式,开篇很清晰的给出了观点“It can be argued however, that not all of these advancements were beneficial.”
而结尾是“While technology and science have made man’s life easier, they have not made it better.”以及“Therefore, what makes our lives easier does not necessarily make them better.”其实都是对开篇观点的重新改写。这样做比较清晰,反复强调也可以更好的突出主题。
以上就是为大家详细总结的关于结尾写作的SAT写作技巧,对于SAT写作中结尾部分的要求和写作的技巧都进行了介绍。大家可以在练习SAT写作考试的时候,根据上面的所列的技巧,对结尾部分进行适当的参考和练习。
