  为了方便广大考生更好的复习,和谐英语网综合整理了名师指点:SAT写作权威指导,以供各位考生考试复习参考,希望对考生复习有所帮助。

  Assignment: Is it better to get all the information before taking action or is it better to take action first and then analyze the process of the whole action? (来源于学生回忆,可能略有出入)

  由于5月和10月考试的人数比较多,所以这两个月的作文题目确实会比较难。大家可以参考笔者对于5月作文(Are we defined by what we do?)的点评。

  解惑:这是个选择式的题目,问各位是先行动好,还是得到全部信息然后行动更好。

  比较好写的方法自然是选择先得到全部信息,然后行动。因为广大考生可以把早就准备好的个人例子拿上去套题目。

  方法:将成功失败类中的例子稍加改变,第一次做什么事情失败,因为先决定了然后之后的分析非常匆忙,想法不完整导致失败;相反第二次吸取了经验,获得全部信息然后决定,最后成功。通过前后对比,体现出题干中的better。

  具体操作:

  首段要体现出比较,指出take action first 的缺点。

  1 第一步:观点I prefer getting well prepared before taking action to analyzing the whole process after carrying out a decision.

  2 第二步:为什么。相对最难写,可以先思考例子,然后再提炼逻辑关系。这篇文章就是

  Hasty decisions may result in incomplete plans and thus possible failures while full preparation may optimize your decisions.

  3 第三步:举什么例子。

  The example of my aunt Helen could serve as a compelling one.

  中间段如何写:

  这篇文章比较难,因为是选择式的,所以最好的写法是把例子拆成两个部分,第一部分是否定的内容,即仓促行动导致全盘皆输;第二部分是全面准备后下决定然后成功的例子。

  我用一个最简单的素材给大家展示。

  First, she started a restaurant, Helen’s Place. Though it was popular and did a steady business. Aunt Helen knew little about managing money, so her restaurant went out of business.

  Then she tried to open a coffeehouse, but there were already many popular coffeehouses in her town, so her coffeehouse never managed to attract many customers.

  Finally, using knowledge she had gained from earlier businesses, she started her own catering service. It has been a success for ten years now.
