優秀大學很看重的一個分數
一個好看的寫作分數,可以大大提高學生在這些學校面前的競爭力。
新SAT寫作要求大家進行分析性寫作,主要內容就是要求大家在閱讀完一篇1000字左右的文章后,分別從論證、修辭和推理三個角度進行分析。
想要在考試中有限的時間內取得高分,除了要有扎實的語言功底之外,還要遵循一定的寫作思路,這里和大家分享的是SAT寫作的三步走策略。
點名
所謂的“點名”是指,當你在進行寫作時,首先要做的是把你想要分析的語言點用專業詞匯指出來,(當然你不必面面俱到,把文章中所有的寫作手法都指出來)這里就需要大家熟練背誦和默寫各種論證和修辭手法的專業名稱。
1.The author starts off the essay with his personal anecdote;
2.The author uses statistics as evidence to inform his subsequent claim that...
3.The use of rhetorical questions encourages the readers to consider...
4.The writer uses precisely chosen, powerful words to characterize... and thereby creates a compelling appeal to readers’ emotions.
引用
在指出了文章適用的手法后,大家還需要把反映出這一手法的部分文章進行篩選和摘抄,這個部分的操作等于是在向考官證明,你對這篇文章的理解是相對深刻的。
PS. 需要注意的是,摘抄是有選擇的,大段摘抄原文并不可取,因為這會給考官一種感覺,你的寫作能力很差,所以需要大段摘抄來湊數。
分析
在點出了作者使用的主要手段之后,緊接著大家需要分析該手段的在文章中所起到的作用。
在分析作用時,大家需要結合不同文章中的語境和作者的論點,這一點需要個性化的對待,但是這并不意味著大家沒有絲毫的方法可取,無論是論證還是修辭,都有一些普遍的特點和作用,把它們總結起來,就形成了分析性話語的模版。
例如數據的使用(statistics)就有以下的特點:
numbers serve as a powerful and objective tool to back the author’s argument. When casting too much superficial evidence makes the article monotonous and plain, solid numbers become more convincing and likely to be accepted.
這就是一條普遍適用的分析性話語,在文章中只要是出現了關于數據的手法,主要的方法都是為了提高文章的credibility (可信度),使文章顯得更加客觀,有利于贏得讀者的支持。
在掌握了特定的寫作步驟之后,大家還需要大量積累和背誦一些實用的分析性話語。
以下就和大家分享一下老師的獨家秘籍,考前認真背誦,一定能做到下筆如有神。
personal anecdote is a convincing tool to enhance the credibility of the article. By stating his personal experience, the author manages to quickly appeal to readers’ attention, which is also helpful to lay a foundation for the following article .
Fact & Research result
Facts and research results are very useful to improve the objectivity of the article. These facts and research results are usually cited from institutes of authority s and influence. With the utilization of this method, readers’ are more likely to understand the author’s intention and therefore side with him .
Statistics
Numbers serve as a powerful and objective tool to back the author’s argument. When casting too much superficial evidence makes the article monotonous and plain, solid numbers become more persuading and likely to be accepted.
Quotation
Repeated statement of the argument may hurt the article’s credibility and effect, therefore citing the exact words from experts or authorities is a convenient but highly effective way to back the author’s claim.
