　　其实除了具体而详细的例子之外，我们也可以用排比句将小而短的例子串起来，形成有气势的论证。比如官方指南第699页的题目：Can success be disastrous?(成功可以是灾难性的?)在满分范文中就有这样的一段论证非常漂亮。

　　Throughout history, we have seen success used wrongfully in the hands of the unworthy. Powerful leaders of nations, kingdoms, and empires, having succeeded in gaining leadership, have then used their influence wrongfully in achieving their own selfish (and sometimes twisted) goals. Nero, the Roman emperor who beat his pregnant wife to death and has been suspected of instigating the great fire of Rome in an attempt to boost his own political influence; Henry VIII of England, for whom women were beheaded for not bearing him a son, and who is rumored to have eaten eight chickens a night while English peasants starved; The notorious Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, who carried out the Spanish Inquisition… The list is endless. Even in literature, we see the corruption and downfall of society and mankind as a whole as a result of the abuse of success in the possession of those who do not deserve it, as seen in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of King Lear. In the story, societal order is replaced with chaos when there is a power shift from Lear to his evil daughters, Regan and Goneril. This order only returns to a slight degree when virtue (in the form of Lear’s good daughter, Cordelia) returns to England. Success is hazardous when awarded to the unvirtuous.

　　(纵观历史，可见不肖之徒妄用手中的成功。那些强大的帝王领袖成功获取了领导权，又妄用其影响力以实现自己自私的(有时是变态的)目的。罗马皇帝尼禄(Nero)将怀孕的妻子鞭打致死，有人怀疑，他曾为了擢升自己的政治影响力而点燃罗马大火;英国国王亨利八世(Henry VIII of England)因为女人没能为他生下王子而将其送上断头台，据传，在英国农民忍饥挨饿的时候，他却能一晚上吃掉8只鸡;还有西班牙臭名昭着的费迪南德和伊莎贝拉(Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain)，他们在西班牙设立起进行异端审判的宗教法庭。名单无穷无尽。即使在文学作品里，我们也能看见因为本不配得到成功的人滥用成功而对整个社会和人类造成的腐败和衰落，正如我们在威廉·莎士比亚的悲剧《李尔王》(King Lear)中所见的那样。故事中，当李尔王将权力移交给邪恶的女儿瑞根和高纳里尔后，混乱取代了社会秩序，只有当美德(以李尔王的好女儿考蒂利亚伟化身)回归英国之后，秩序才稍稍恢复。当成功落入无德之人手中时，成功是危险的。)

　　尽管SAT写作可以用个人经历，或自编的靠谱的隔壁小明的例子，但是在考试准备阶段，同学们最好能根据上课时老师给出的论据来源或书单，尽量广泛涉略，尤其是国外的名着，着名事件和人物，甚至是经典电影等等。这个过程不仅仅能丰富写作的素材，更是一个走近融入他国文化的捷径。
