Specific :Tom leaped into his SUV and roared off. 2.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。 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. 3.用动词替代句子中的某一个重要的名词或形容词 Verb to be :The quarterback’s wretched performance was a disgrace to his team. Action verb :The quarterback’s wretched performance humiliated his team. 4.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,小山菌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,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. 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:Brian’s mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test. Improved :Brian’s mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test. 写作的时候,尽量的使用简单易懂的词汇语句,可以使读者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。 6.合并短句,截断长句 合并短句可以让你的文章连贯,读者阅读的时候思路也会清晰。 例: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)。 (责任编辑:admin) |
