10月SAT写作进步6分拿到8/7/7,这些套路帮了我大忙

 TD留学进化论 2020-11-04


在距离12月SAT考试大概还有半个月左右的时候,TestDaily决定给大家推送老朋友小栗心同学的文章。她在10月的SAT考试中获得了8/7/7的写作高分,并且自己从OG以及其他优秀的作文中总结出了套路,其中包括文章和段落的架构、如何引用原文、如何变换句式、以及非常加分的优美表达等。

为了留出时间让大家熟悉套路,小编快马加鞭地把这篇大干货推送给大家,希望到了出分的那一天能收到大家的喜报呀!

笔者六月在香港一战,十月在新加坡二战。虽然总分没进步多少,但是写作进步6分我还是很开心的(然而很多大学不看写作,蓝瘦香菇)。先上图为证: 

对于这次提分我最大的感受就是:SAT作文都特么是套路!


对于如何入门写作就不多说,直接开讲技巧:

最有说服力的放在前面,辅助的放在后面

写作目的是让你分析为什么文章有说服力,所以重点要放在前面。

比如论证手法,structure,reasoning;作为辅助的各种修辞如word choice,humor,rhetorical question等等也许是文章最明显的特点,但也要放在后面。

关于阅读文章

建议大家最多15分钟完成。论点在最后的方框里很容易找到,先看主旨再读文章会容易一些。

需要最先关注的是reasoning,structure,其次才是用词和各种措辞手法。然后很快的选三个点--依旧按照上面的规则,reasoning放在前面写,修辞一般我放在第三个body段写。

关于quote

原文是一定要选的,但是不要大段大段的写,记住每一段body里你的分析大约是内容部分的两倍左右。想选的句子一定要和你的分析完全契合,不一定要一整句全部抄下来,取你所需即可。记得活用破折号,冒号,来衔接你的quote。

我们来讲讲最重要的,套路

话不多说,把我在考前整理的所有套路分享给大家。

Body段落基本是「内容+分析+效果」的三层结构。「分析+效果」的长度大约是「内容」的两倍。以下的套路均可用在这个部分。

所有套路来自于og满分作文(认真看过og的盆友们一眼就会发现啦/w\),以及我看过的几篇高分作文。

开头

In his essay +标题, X delivers a masterful dissertation that + 文章的主旨 ….. By the end of the piece the reader will likely find themselves nodding in agreement with what X has to say, and this isn’t just because s/he’s right. X, like any good writer, employs 1,2 and 3 to plead with the audience to take his side.

这里的“1、2、3”为你要写的点,如:

-various reasons

-credible evidence

-meticulous diction

-effective structures

-effective rhetorical devices

-use of first person pronouns

Body段落

普通套路

这个是我一个老师写的,专用于像OG4 “let there be dark” 理由条理十分清晰的文章,这样所有的理由作为一个论证手法就可以放在一段来写。这里大家可以注意一下句式十分丰富。

–Clear and multiple reasons empower the persuasiveness of this essay.

-The author includes such possible ailments to remind reader that...

-After revealing the first reason to.., the author transits smoothly to mention…

-Now the readers realises the second reason… is essential. 

-X further strengthens his argument by mentioning… 

-By reading this readers would probably come to the revelation that… 

-With three comprehensive and critical reasons, the author structures a solid argument that cannot easily be argues against.

其他套路

先写内容,然后写上套路(分析),背下来之后的好处是不用花很多时间思考你要写什么,中间穿插一些文章内容就可以了。

1. Fact/Statistics:

The truth in the numbers is undeniable, and he cites his sources promptly, making the statement that much more authentic. Knowledge is often viewed as power, and with information as direct as a statistic, X is handing that power to the reader-the power to agree with him.

These facts back up X’s claims that …. Without these evidence, X’s passage would not mean a thing to us readers and we would never be able to believe what he has said.

2. we/first-person pronouns: 

The author not only create a powerful cadence but also include him and the reader in a unified body. …the reader feels that x no longer argues from the opposite side but from the same side as the reader. The first person pronouns invoke a special feeling of camaraderie…In this way, X is able to affect the reader emotionally through his repetitive use of “we”

3. Humour : 

His humour diction provides a link between he and the audience, revealing not only an opportunity to laugh, but also reinforcement of the concept that X is trustworthy and just like someone else.

*其他的一些修辞手法要具体结合文章的内容来写,所以没有套路。

4. 官方数据等(如三月北美引用的独立宣言)

It is so authoritative that it instantly grasps the attention of the reader.

结尾

X is certainly no amateur author, as he understands how to utilise 1, 2 , and 3.  It is his utilisation of these practices and more that make this article worthy of recognition. Once one reads the piece,he will be nodding along in accordance with X, and it isn’t for no reason.

以上所有套路大家可以进行背诵,有一些可以自己进行同义替换,确保自己达到意思即可。

大家也可以活用自己手上的资源,大机构的老师每次考试都会收很多高分作文,你就可以问问他们拜读几篇。高分作文每一篇形式也许都不同,你只需要选中自己喜欢的和自己风格相近的,总结一些套路就好啦~

最后想说,不是写的越多越好,6/5/6那次写了四页这次只写了两页半不到我会说?

套路虽好,可不要贪杯噢

1. 写的每一句都不是废话,不要重复同样的意思,不要只是空洞的写很persuasive,以上的套路就是帮助你的分析可以不那么空洞。

2. 每一段Body分析的长度大约是内容的两倍。

3. 变换句式。这点一定要记得,因为很多时候时间紧,脑子里还在想要写的内容,所以会经常忘记要变换句型,希望大家多多练习。能够在考场上自如地运用多种句式。
