　　我们看一组例子：

　　GOOD: Itis crucial that news organizations increase the amount of foreign news coverageprovided to Americans.

　　BAD: Thisis an article talking about foreign news.

　　4：The response includes a skillful introduction and conclusion. The responsedemonstrates a deliberate and highly effective progressionof ideas both within paragraphs and throughout the essay.

　　3：The response includes an effective introduction and conclusion. The responsedemonstrates a clear progression of ideasboth within paragraphs and throughout the essay.

　　2：The response may includean ineffective introductionand/or conclusion. The response may demonstrate some progression of ideas within paragraphs butnot throughout the response.

　　通过对比我们可以看出，新SAT Essay要求学生在写作中包含askillful introduction and conclusion，什么样的introduction和conclusion才是好的呢?我们不仅需要包含上一条评分标准中的claim，还要说明作者如何去论证自己的观点，下面就是一个很好的例子：

　　Peter S. Goodman builds a solid argument for thegrowing need for foreign news coverage and utilizes concrete evidence, logicalreasoning and persuasive appeals to not only expose the paucity ofinternational news needs, but also convince his audience that it is crucialthat news organizations increase the amount of foreign news coverage providedto Americans.

　　在具体分析作者的论证过程中，还需要注意文章的progression，使用恰当的transitional words是一种有效的方式，如：

　　Goodman begins by clearlylaying out;

　　Goodman closes hisargument;

　　4：Theresponse has wide variety in sentence structures.The response demonstrates a consistent useof precise word choice. Theresponse maintains a formal style and objective tone.

　　3：Theresponse has variety in sentence structures. Theresponse demonstrates some preciseword choice. The response maintains a formal style and objectivetone.

　　2：Theresponse has limited variety in sentence structures;sentence structures may be repetitive.The response demonstratesgeneral or vague word choice; wordchoice may be repetitive. The response may deviate noticeably from aformal style and objective tone.

　　通过对比我们可以看出，新SAT Essay要求学生在写作中有多变的句式和精确的词汇选择。但同学们要注意的是，多变的句式并不意味着全文充斥着倒装句、强调句式等，SAT OG中明确指出，需要avoid a simple, repetitivesubject-verb structure，如：

　　Peter S. Goodman offers … ;
　　He appeals … ;
　　Goodman gives … ;

　　He talks ….这种单一的主谓结构会使得文章枯燥，我们可以合理的使用从句、非谓语动词和介词短语等完成考试中要求的句式变化，如：

　　While one might view this as selfish, Summersreassures the reader that they are not alone in feeling this way
　　Further contributing to his argument, …
