怎樣寫出SAT滿分作文
The College Board said, the reason so few students won top marks on the writing section is that so few - less than one percent - got sixes from both readers, for that perfect 12----NY Times ,Nov. 29th, 2009 紐約時(shí)報(bào)的這個(gè)評(píng)價(jià),貌似給很多考生頭上都潑了一桶冷水。全美國(guó)不到百分之一的滿分率讓是讓以拿滿分為目標(biāo)的中國(guó)學(xué)生很難接受的。但是從另一個(gè)角度思考一 下,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),其實(shí)再合理不過了。在上千萬的高考學(xué)生中,有多少人又能從閱卷老師手中拿到語(yǔ)文作文的滿分呢?所以,如果可以拿到10分,已經(jīng)是給很力了。
難拿,不代表拿不到。而中國(guó)學(xué)生總要為此而奮斗一番,把那看似不可能的,變成可能。下面我們就來看看怎樣可以達(dá)到閱卷老師滿分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn):
上面這個(gè)圖標(biāo)是我總結(jié)出的官方指南的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn),主要是從總體,內(nèi)容,結(jié)構(gòu),語(yǔ)言和語(yǔ)法幾個(gè)方面評(píng)判。內(nèi)容,語(yǔ)法和語(yǔ)言尤為重要。
這次我們主要來看在內(nèi)容上如何突破:6分,5分和4分的作文都要求有critical thinking。這個(gè)是美國(guó)人思想的核心,也是整個(gè)SAT考試的精髓。所謂的批判性思維實(shí)際上就是摔倒-爬起來-成長(zhǎng)的過程。也就是說在文章中一定要體現(xiàn)出如何在所犯的錯(cuò)誤中吸取到養(yǎng)分,吧死去傻太并且利用學(xué)到的東西改變自己的生命。接下來我們拿一篇滿分作文來分析一下:
Without our past, our future would be a tortuous path leading to nowhere. In order to move up the ladder of success and achievement we must come to terms with our past and integrate it into our future. Even if in the past we made mistakes, this will only make wiser people out of us and guide us to where we are supposed to be.
This past year, I was auditioning for the fall play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. To my detriment I thought it would be a good idea to watch the movie in order to prepare. For two hours I studied Elizabeth Taylors mannerisms, attitude, and diction, hoping I could mimic her performance. I auditioned for the part of Maggie feeling perfectly confident in my portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor, however, I was unaware that my director saw exactly what I had been thinking. Unfortunately, I didnt get the part, and my director told me that he needed to see Maggie from my perspective, not Elizabeth Taylors.
I learned from this experience, and promised myself I would not try to imitate another actress, in order to create my character. Persevering, I was anxious to audition for the winter play just two months later. The play was Neil Simons Rumors, and would get the opportunity to play Chris, a sarcastic yet witty role, which would be my final performance in high school. In order to develop my character, I planned out her life just as I thought it should be, gave her the voice I thought was right, and the rest of her character unfolded beautifully from there. My director told me after the first show that Rumors was the best work hed ever seen from me, and that he was amazed at how Id developed such a believable character. Thinking back to my first audition I was grateful for that chance I had to learn and to grow, because without that mistake I might have tried to base Chris off of someone Id known or something Id seen instead of becoming my own character. I utilized the memory of the Elizabeth Taylor debacle to improve my approach to acting and gave the best performance of my life so far.
