很多考生對於備考新SAT考試的寫作部分都是比較迷惘的，那麼有哪些寫作的小技巧是可以給作文提分的呢?小編為大家精心準備了新SAT考試寫作提分的實用小技巧，歡迎大家前來閱讀。
大家都知道，我們備考的最大最直接的依據就是prompt的提示，儘管文章每次考試都在變換，但是prompt是保持不變的，因此，我們在原文做標記的時候，就要充分利用prompt給我們的提示，在原文圈圈點點的筆記的時候應該把重點放在以下方面：
a) evidence to support claims (e.g., cited data or statistics, or authoritative sources that support the author’s argument)
b) reasoning to develop ideas and make connections (e.g., the author explains his logic for using a specific piece of evidence to support a specific claim)
c) stylistic or persuasive elements to add power to the ideas expressed (e.g., using figurative language, irony, metaphor, and other elements to appeal to emotions)
首先，在讀文章的時候，務必記得做筆記，尤其注意以下幾點，這幾點也是prompt中給出的幾點：作者如何運用evidence來支撐觀點;作者如何用reasoning來發展觀點、連線claim和evidence的.;作者如何運用stylistic or persuasive elements來增加觀點的可靠性和說服力。
除了在文章的邊邊角角寫註釋，我們建議考生養成圈圈點點的習慣，比如可以用下劃線或畫圈來標註以下重點：一是中心觀點;二是重要的細節;三是標記出事實和觀點;四是找出文章中的evidence，用於之後的直接引用或同義轉述。
其次，寫出文章的outline，並思考如何在文章中體現中心點和分論點。這一步比較重要，而且outline會幫助我們節省時間，理清思路，以避免不必要的改寫和重寫。如果第一步中對文章有效進行了標註，那麼在本部分寫大綱的時候就會更加有組織、有條理。
第三步就是寫文章，把寫好的outline填充evidence並擴充套件為一篇文章。注意文章的連貫性。正如張執遠老師在授課中一直強調的，在introductory paragraph中需要有一個topic sentence、3個能細化論證的論點作為thesis statement, 根據thesis statement進而將文章發展為3-5個支撐的body paragraph，另外注意句式結構的多樣性。
最後，檢查潤色，看是否有語法、拼寫、表達上的錯誤。雖然幾個語法和拼寫錯誤不會對SAT essay部分的分數影響特別大，但利用幾分鐘的時間來重新檢查還是可以幫助我們避免不少不必要的錯誤。
新SAT寫作如何利用模版眾所周知，英語的聽說讀寫四部分，說和寫屬於主動的“輸出”，而聽和讀是被動的“輸入”。這樣做劃分的一個原因就是輸入端和輸出端的備考方法是不同的。作為輸出端的寫作和口語，備考方法是離不開所謂的“模仿”的。無論模仿的是句式、結構亦或是單詞，都離不開一個“模仿期”的。不只是英語學習，其實任何一門技術或者知識技能的學習，我們做的也是從“模仿期”到“平臺期”再到“創造期”的過渡。面對新SAT寫作，我們不僅不要回避模仿的重要性，還要在模仿中學習，在模仿中創造，在模仿中學以致用。
本著“凡有所學皆有所用”的原則，張執遠老師就給大家舉幾個例子來體會仿句和積累的重要性，比如在新SAT的evidence-based writing中，每個body paragraph的第一句我們叫做topic sentence. Topic sentence是從introductory paragraph裡面的thesis statement中發展而來的，且body paragraph的發展順序應儘量和thesis statement中的順序一致。我們給大家舉三個例子供大家模仿和參考，從而進一步從優秀、經典、地道的模版中汲取寫作所需的表達、句式和框架。
Example 1 (來自OG滿分範文4-4-4).
In response to our world’s growing reliance on artificial light, writer Paul Bogard argues that natural darkness should be preserved in his article “Let There Be Dark”. He effectively builds his argument by using a personal anecdote, allusions to art and history, and rhetorical questions. (最後一句即為thesis statement))
Body paragraph 1: Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal story – a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “woods so dark that his hands disappeared before his eyes”
Body paragraph 2: Bogard’s argument is also furthered by his use of allusion to …
Body paragraph 3: Finally, Bogard makes subtle yet efficient use of rhetorical questioning to persuade his audience that natural darkness preservation is essential.
從example 1中，我們可以汲取一種寫作技巧，即把introductory paragraph的thesis statement中的三點分為三段在body paragraph中按順序一一闡述，我們還可以參考以上滿分作為所用的句式，給予一些變化，提取加工為模仿的素材。
下面，我們看下一範例：
Example 2.
By using careful word choice, undeniable precise statistics, and effective language devices, the author successfully convinces his readers that…
而在接下來發展的3個body paragraph中，可以分別這樣闡述：
Body paragraph 1. In an attempt to … the author utilizes clever euphemisms and carefully selected word to describe … (careful word choice)
Body paragraph 2. Building upon the …generated from careful word choice, the author continues successfully building the case by providing several key statistics which support his position. (undeniable precise statistics)
Body paragraph 3. The author also employs creative language devices which appeal to both our emotions and our logic to complete his argument (effective language device)
以上例子均可以作為我們發展段落的模版句，並作為仿句的素材和藍本進一步練習，學為己用。比如body paragraph的第一句topic sentence可以表達為 in an attempt to …/in an effort to build the validity of her position/ support his claim/ add power to his argument/ accentuate his perspective, the author …，還可以表達為分詞句式，如utilizing carefully selected world choice/ building upon…, the author employs … to add to the persuasiveness of the essay.
以上只是一個例子，其實不僅僅是每個body paragraph的topic sentence, 仿句素材和模版素材在張老師的課堂上貫穿在任何環節。我們需要認識到，寫作提高的必經之路是模仿，但模仿絕不是機械的模仿，而且是有意識、有計劃、有目的的進行模仿訓練。只有經過模仿這個必經之路，積累了足夠的素材，才能自如的寫出更加優質的作為來應對新SAT寫作。
SAT寫作高分材料I'M GOING RUNNING TODAY. I am not concerned about my calorie consumption for the day, nor am I anxious to get in shape for the winter season. I just want to go running。
I used to dislike running. "If you don't win this game, you're all running five miles tomorrow," the field hockey coach used to warn, during those last days of October when the average temperature seemed to be decreasing exponentially. And so, occasionally, my grief-stricken team would run numerous miserable laps around the fields. At the end of these excursions, our faces and limbs would be numb, and we would all have developed those notorious flu-like symptoms; but the running made us better in the long run, I suppose. Nevertheless, I counted down the days until the end of the field hockey season, vowing never to put on a pair of running shoes again. Then I surprised myself by signing up for outdoor track in the second half of sophomore year. I was foolish to have believed that I could ever escape this insidious and magnetic addiction。
Anyone would have thought that I'd be off the team in a few days, but the last week of January caught me splashing through puddles of melted ice, and February winds nearly blew me off the track. I looked forward to practices this time around, to the claps and the persistent cheers of my fellow trackies. I was feeling a "runner's high" spurred by the endorphins released by exercise. But to attribute my affinity for running solely to chemistry diminishes the personal importance that running has for me。
I like running—in the cool shade of the towering oak trees, and in the warm sunlight spilling over the horizon, and in the drops of rain falling gently from the clouds. Certain things become clear to me when I'm running—only while running did I realize that "hippopotami" is possibly the funniest word in the English language, and only while running did I realize that the travel section of The York Times does not necessarily provide an accurate depiction of the entire world. Running lends me precious moments to contemplate my life: while running I find time to dream about changing the world, to think about recent death of a classmate, or to wonder about the secret to college admission
Running is the awareness of hurdles between me and the finish line; running is the desire to overcome them. Running is putting up with aches and pains, relishing the knowledge that, in the end, I will have built strength and endurance. Running is the instant clarity of vision with which I can see my future just one hundred yards in the distance; it is the understanding that these crucial steps will determine victory or defeat。
Running is not the most important thing in the world to me, but it is what fulfills me when time permits. And right now, before the sun goes down, I like to take advantage of the road that lies ahead。
