SAT寫作滿分標準之結構參考

SAT寫作滿分標準中的第二個要求：is well organized and clearly focused, demonstrating clear coherence and smooth progression of ideas.

　　一篇完整的SAT作文結構應該是這樣的：

P1 Introductory sentence. Thesis. Sentence previewing three examples.

P2 Transition + topic sentence. Support sentence. Additional support . Closing sentence summarizingthe paragraph .

P3 Transition + topic sentence. Support sentence. Additional support. Closing sentence summarizing the paragraph .

P4 Transition + topic sentence. Support sentence. Additional support . Closing sentence summarizingthe paragraph .

P5 Conclusion.

現在許多學生的寫作的一個很大的問題在於，開頭段結尾段的結構能夠得到保證，但是中間段落的TopicSentence和 Concluding Sentence不喜歡寫。

單純的在開頭段後舉例是不能有力的證明自己的觀點的。每個中間段的.完整結構必須有分支觀點句，支撐句和結論句。分支觀點句往往是例子要告訴人們的道理或者作者要通過例子表達的內容的總括。結論句往往是對例子的分析：在這個例子中，通過什麼從而使什麼怎麼樣。
