新航道SAT小編帶來了關于面對2019年12月SAT考試，寫作“磨槍抱腳”之一二技(一)。

  「Reading Passage 1」

  SAT北美考區2016年5月寫作真題

  Viewpoint: Air-Conditioning Will Be the End of Us

  寫作范文：

  以我們的作文的第一個段落為例，主要學習兩個關鍵寫作內容：

  ● 對于材料文內容的Summary(文中紅色部分)

  ● 對于材料文寫作的Analysis(文中藍色部分)

  The essay starts with the author’s personal experience(分析/解讀)that he received a reminder that advised people to use AC wisely in the warm weather (內容概要). The message may be the inspiration of the essay(分析/解讀), provoking thoughts about Americans’ excessive use of AC (內容概要). Readers should be able to well relate to the issue, since the message must be widespread among New Yorkers (分析/解讀). One of the highlights is the emphasis put on “wisely”, and although the irony is implicit (分析/解讀), it is apparent that Americans, at least in New York City, use AC irresponsibly (內容概要). The other highlight is the author’s sarcasm(分析/解讀) at the end of the paragraph. Pointing out the present increased and lavish use of AC(內容概要), the author is rather blunt(分析/解讀) as he deems using AC as a “dumb” solution to the climate change(內容概要). This provocative word has an intent that readers may be stimulated to read(分析/解讀).

  小總結：

  材料文作者以什么樣的方法(包括結構方面的、論證方式方面的和措辭方面的)，帶有什么樣的目的(即“分析/解讀”)寫了什么東西(即“內容概要”)。

  再以我們的作文的另一個段落(應對材料文的第四段)為例，鞏固學習兩個關鍵寫作內容：

  ● 對于材料文內容的Summary(文中紅色部分)

  ● 對于材料文寫作的Analysis(文中藍色部分)

  In Paragraph 4, the author deliberately exaggerates about the excessive use of AC in New York. In the description, the hyperbole—the diction of “igloos” and “artic air”—is yet accurate. The author then deems this way of using AC “suicidal”, and the intimidating word may be an effective warning and deterrent. To further warn New Yorkers of the consequences of continuing using AC irresponsibly, the author makes an analogy in which the likely restraint on the use of AC is compared to the ban on big sodas. Since New Yorkers defied the big soda ban, they would also resist the government’s nanny-state interference with the residents’ use of AC.

  「Reading Passage 2」

  SAT北美考區2016年6月寫作真題

  Raise the Minimum Wage

  寫作范文

  以我們的作文的第一個段落(應對材料文的第一、二段)為例，主要學習兩個關鍵寫作內容：

  ● 對于材料文內容的Summary(文中紅色部分)

  ● 對于材料文寫作的Analysis(文中藍色部分)

  At the beginning of the essay, the statement that “a last-minute compromise” is to create a hook, which quickly draws readers’ attention, and suggests the difficulty passing the bill has experienced, which is that opponents of the bill, California Chamber of Commerce, deemed the bill “a job killer”. The author is obviously aware of this negative implication and, meanwhile, believes that “the gains clearly offset the costs”, however. At this point, the argument that the minimum wage should be raised is manifested. In the following paragraph, with the history revisited, readers should be aware that California is a pioneer state in giving its workers fair pay and has been making continued efforts. The key point of the bill – at what time how much a worker would be paid – is then introduced, and without knowing the historical numbers, no readers would be persuaded that the bill is reasonable.

  再以我們的作文的第二個段落(應對材料文的第三、四、五、六段)為例，鞏固學習兩個關鍵寫作內容：

  對于材料文內容的Summary(文中紅色部分)

  對于材料文寫作的Analysis(文中藍色部分)

  The scale of impact of the bill that 3.4 million Californians would be benefited is stated in the third paragraph, as the author quotes the estimate made by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. The author then specifies the populations that particularly need the raise. The raise is apparently significant because the raise would enable those populations—those who need to feed children and mature-age adults—to lead a proper life with some dignity. Further, it is pointed out that the tremendous influence of the raise would be in a different dimension, as 60 percent of occupations are expected to witness the growing percentage of the low-skill jobs.

  小總結：

  在我們的作文里Analysis的內容篇幅不一定就是要多于Summary，全看材料文是什么樣的了。
