　　SAT写作考试时间只有短短的25分钟，考生想要取得一个高分的SAT写作成绩需要在考试之前做很多的准备工作。下面新东方在线就从SAT写作考试的过程方面为大家提供一个非常行之有效的方法，供大家在备考的时候进行适当的参考。

　　Step 1 (20 seconds): Brainstorm and come up with three to five quality examples.

　　Do not choose a side before you come up with examples. This isextremely important because without examples you will not be able tocomplete your essay. In other words, your opinion does not matterunless you can support it. Let your examples dictate which side youchoose – not the other way around.

　　Step 2 (10 seconds): Agree or disagree with the prompt.

　　Now that you have three to five examples, it is time for you to take astance. Agree or disagree with the prompt. If it is an open-endedquestion, by now you should have come up with a response.

　　Step 3 (1 minute): Write your thesis:

　　Follow this simple formula to write you thesis. Later, you will be allowed to make it more personal by adding adjectives, examples, etc.,but for now, I want you to stick with this. Why? To create a backbone to your thesis writing so you know exactly what to do and what not to miss.

　　First, start with the keyword. If the prompt is: “Honesty is always the best policy,” then start with “honesty” so your reader/grader knows that you are on point. After your keyword, immediately agree or disagree with the prompt.+ ^$ n# @5 D% g- A- T- P

　　for example: Honesty is crucial …(Agree) OR Honesty can be detrimental… (Disagree). Once you’ve done this, then you have to explain the Why and the How. Without this step, all you are doing is repeating the prompt. You must explain why you agree or disagree with the prompt.

　　For example: Honesty is crucial to build and maintain trust.

　　Bad Intros:

　　1. Ladies and gentlemen of the College Board …

　　2. What would Jesus do? ...

　　3. Once upon a time …

　　4. “Failure is the mother of success!!!” …

　　By the way, I have actually seen these introductory phrases written by real students. Please, don’t make the same mistake.

　　Step 4 (1 minute): Complete your introduction.

　　Now spend a minute or so completing your introductory paragraph. Make sure you write at least two sentences but no more than three, as you’ll run out of time.

　　My version:

　　For example: Honesty is crucial to build and maintain trust. Several examples from literary works and current events clearly demonstrate that honesty always prevails.

　　that’s it.

　　Two sentences are good enough for the SAT essay. I am not saying don’t write more, but there is no need to write five to six sentences. It’s important that you move on since you only have 25minutes to complete a full-length essay. Remember! This is not your typical school essay, in which you have to develop your thesis and write your thesis at the end of your introductory paragraph. The SAT essay does not work that way. You must get straight to the point, answer the prompt/question, and move on to your examples. That’s the only way you’ll finish on time. Also, it is important to remind you that readers/graders know that you were given only 25 minutes to complete your essay. They will be lenient and not penalize every grammatical error. Readers/graders, however, will penalize you for excessive patterns of spelling and grammar errors – I mean …who wouldn’t?

　　Step 5 (1 minute): Write your transitional thesis:

　　It is time to introduce your first example. Avoid being abrupt. Startwith a transitional phrase that will smoothly transition from yourintroduction to your body paragraph

　　1.Here are some recommended transitional phrases:

　　1. As demonstrated by …

　　2. As shown by …

　　3. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, …

　　4. In the film Metropolis by Fritz Lang, …

　　5. Through the actions of …

　　6. Description, …

　　Then you have to add a modified version of your thesis. You need to addyour example and blend it with your thesis to make it more relevant.

　　For example: In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, Winston’s rebelliousthoughts/actions are direct results of the party’s deceptive/dishonestpolitical tactics.
