首先介绍下自己,我是一个神奇的三线普高党,首考SAT写作7/7/8。今天我把自己的笔记整合成了这四页Word文档,集齐了SAT最深最好用的套路。

佛脚使用指南

本佛脚笔记是先罗列了一下大致的写作流程,包括文章总体布局和body段的写作模式。后面基于不同的写作手法罗列出了有关手法的分析、标志、常用的词汇以及模板句型等。如果能够熟练掌握并应用佛脚笔记中的所有内容,拿到满意的分数也是大有希望的(笑).

body段的展开

以下的内容是通过四个步骤,recognition, information, contribution, effect来布局主体段的内容。

1、Recognition

在首段开门见山地提出本段的主题,也就是说,作者具体使用了什么手法。模板句的例子: The author starts his/her article of by recounting a story… The author’s argument is also featured by his use of… Finally, the author makes use of…

2. Information

把原文中的主要信息融入到写作中,对于原文进行一定程度上的引用或改写,是抽象化、概括化的过程。注意筛选信息,不是所有内容都需要写进去,只需要寻找最重要最值得分析的部分。

3. Contribution

作者是如何支持了他自己的观点,主体是作者。

4. Effect

使读者想到的,感受到的内容,主体是读者。

Notice

1. coherence, 一个策略穿到底; 2. 后两个部分的每一句话, author, reader, strategy; 3. 在分析中主要提及author’s purpose, enable readers to think…about the claim, enable readers to feel…; 4. 段落总结句再次提及readers和效果(套话)。

文章布局

开头段

文章的标题、作者的全名、中心论点、下面要分析的三种手法: Notice: 1.主旨不能中立,只能有一个立场 2.如果对于中心论点不确定,可以看文章最后的方框中的内容 3.文章的标题注意要用双引号来引用 Model: 1.In response to…, the author…argues that… 2.In the article, “…”by “…”, …makes an argument claiming that 3.…builds an argument to persuade his/her audience about…

结尾段

为省时间可直接重复开头的内容,但不建议完全不写。
