新SAT写作如何得高分，6招吸睛大法

　　众所周知，SAT或ACT考试成绩在美国大学申请中占有一定的地位，尽管美国的大学并不是唯分数论，但是对于要求提供SAT或ACT考试成绩的学校来说，申请者如果能取得较好的SAT或ACT成绩就会为申请增加成功的砝码。

　　SAT2在考取美国高中时不是必须的，有些好的大学也不要求，但是如果不考SAT2高中毕业想申请好的大学时就会受到很大限制。

　　首先，要搞清楚所要申请学校的要求。并非所有的美国大学都要求有SAT2成绩，相当一部分普通大学和少量名校都不需要(NOT REQUIRED)考SAT2。如果你申请的学校都是不需要SAT2成绩的，而你备考TOEFL、SAT1的时间又很紧张，那么就没有必要去考SAT2。但大部分的美国名校是需要有SAT2成绩的，一般是需要两门或三门。在需要SAT2成绩的学校中，对具体科目的要求又不尽相同，有的学校没有规定科目，有的则给出了相当程度的指定，如加州理工学院(CALTECH)就要求所有申请者必须提供SAT2的数学2和科学类中的一门(即物理或化学或生物)成绩。

　　SAT考试中写作虽然不算入总分，却是招生官考核学生的重要标尺，如何能让新SAT写作吸引招生官的眼睛，在招生官那拿到高分，是同学们非常关心的话题，下面小编整理了6招吸引招生官眼球的方法，都是招生官的最爱，也是写作中的万能例子，什么题材的都可以用，同学们都来学起来吧!

　　1、多运用动词和主动语态

　　在文章中把一个主要的名词换成动词

　　例：Verb to be ：the use of leaf blowers before 8 am is a violation of local noise abatement laws.

　　Action verb ：the use of leaf blowers before 8 am violates local noise abatement laws.

　　用动词替代句子中的某一个重要的名词或形容词

　　例：Verb to be ：The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his team.

　　Action verb ：The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team.

　　如果不知如何更改动词，可以重新整理语句形式

　　例：Verb to be ：Jamie was happy to be part of the all-star soccer team.

　　Action verb ： Being a part of the all-star soccer team thrilled Jamie.

　　主动语态

　　例：Passive Voice ：the main idea for my essay was stated as the first sentence in the first paragraph.

　　Active Voice ： I stated the main idea of my essay in the first sentence in the first paragraph.

　　Passive voice ： money for the new recreation building was raised quickly.

　　Active voice: the recreation committee quickly raised money for the new building.

　　2、使用简单词汇

　　在写作中，有的同学习惯使用一些例如 ugly as sin, pretty as a picture之类的词汇。在这里，小编建议大家不要使用这类词汇。因为在使用这些词汇的时候，会给读者一种陈词滥调、平淡无味的感觉，更有可能使读者误会你本身的意思。

　　General ：I was shaking in my boots before the interview,but I was happy as a lark when the personnel manager offered me the job.

　　Improved ：I was terrified before the interview, but I was ecstatic when the personnel manager offered me the job.

　　3、在文章中使用specific words

　　少general words，多增加specific images。这两者怎么区别呢?我们来举个例子，car就是general words，因为车的种类有很多，而Benz SUV 就是specific words。在考试的中，多使用specific words可以帮助把物体解释的更清楚，读者也会获得更多的信息，使他们对你的文章更方便了解。

　　例1： General ：Tom got into his car and drove off.

　　Specific ：Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off.

　　例2：General: My coach illustrates the point about playing fairly.

　　Specific: My basketball coach, Ms Berry, illustrates the essay- ist’s point about playing fairly.

　　例3：General: At the end of the day, the workmen walked up the snow-covered road.

　　Specific: At the end of the day, the tired workmen trudged wearily up the snow-covered road.

　　4、使用简单的语句

　　写作的时候，尽量的使用简单易懂的词汇语句，可以使读者更清楚的明白你的立场和你文章的目的。要记住，SAT写作不是考察你的生词量，而是在考察你是否能将你的想法通过文字的方式传递给读者。

　　例 ：To facilitate input by the maximum number of potential purchasers, questionnaires were designed and posted well in advance of the launch of the promotional marketing campaign.

　　Improved ：Before we began advertising, we designed and mailed a marketing survey to find out what customers were looking for.

　　通过比较，我们可以清楚的明白，上面的句子，使用了一些不必要的词汇，而导致句子看上去繁琐难懂。下面的句子，经过编改，变得简单易懂。

　　5、避免使用俚语

　　SAT的写作，要求的是一篇有专业性的写作，而不是一篇日记或随笔，所以俚语不应该在SAT的考试中出现。就好像是高考作文中，考生把“我要去…”写成“俺要去…”加有地方方言的语言方式。

　　例1：Brian’s mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test.

　　Improved ：Brian’s mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test.

　　同样的，考生在写作的时候，也应该尽量避免太多学术性强的语言。批卷的老师很有可能并不像你一样是个电脑高手。他或她可能只明白一些初级的电脑词汇，对于那些技术性强的词汇，也许一窍不通。

　　例2：Close-support, transport, and reconnaissance assistance is provided by the S-3X helicopter, which is the most cost effective in a crane configuration.

　　Improved ：The S-3X helicopter provides support, transportation, and reconnaissance. However, the helicopter is most cost effective when it works as a crane.

　　6、合并短句，截断长句

　　合并短句可以让你的文章更连贯，读者阅读的时候思路也会更清晰。

　　例1：The glee club held a fund-raiser, the basketball team also held a fundraiser.

　　Improved sentences ：The glee club and the basketball team held fundraisers (compound subject).

　　例2：The most valuable player on the basketball team will give the graduation speech. She is the star of this year’s musical.

　　Improved sentences: The most valuable player on the basketball team, who is also the star of this year’s musical, will give the graduation speech (appositive).

　　例3：The wide receiver ran down the field. He caught the winning touchdown pass.

　　Improved sentences: Running down the field, the wide receiver caught the winning pass (modifying phrase).
