09年SAT考試已落下帷幕，馬上就要迎來1月23號的考試。下面通過去年考的四道作文題為大家分析下09年SAT作文題目特點(diǎn)，并談?wù)劷衲曜魑目荚嚨臏?zhǔn)備方法。

　　09年12月剛剛考過的一道題目：

　　Prompt：Thanks to the Internet, the word friendship now has a much broader meaning. No longer are the bonds of friendship limited to telephone conversations, shared activities, or speaking face-to-face. In this day and age, very close friendships can be formed without the people ever meeting and by simply typing words on a screen.

　　Adapted from Sharon Hendricks, A Broader Definition of Friendship

　　Assignment：Is it easier now to form friendships than ever before?

　　乍一看這種題目超越了我們平時(shí)準(zhǔn)備的范疇，但其實(shí)只要稍微轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)腦子就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)原來這就是平時(shí)我們所說的科技進(jìn)步和我們的生活類題目。建立友誼比以前更容易還是更難了，都很好寫，例子的話，可以緊密和Internet(科技發(fā)展利弊的典型)相結(jié)合，例如美國學(xué)生愛使用的facebook(類似校內(nèi)網(wǎng))方便了未曾謀面的人結(jié)為朋友。

　　08 年3月曾經(jīng)考過這道題：Are organizations or groups most successful when their members pursue individual wishes and goals? 時(shí)隔一年半，類似題目又出現(xiàn)在SAT考場，驗(yàn)證了SAT作文題目的相似性。09年11月考了這道題：

　　Prompt：Some people ruin their chances of achieving success or refrain from attaining a goal because they have learned that success is selfish. But they should not feel guilty about trying to achieve their own goals. People who act on their inner desirestheir greatest wishes and ambitionsonly make their own and other peoples lives better and are more likely to benefit society. Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone could be happy and fulfilled.

　　Adapted from Sheri O. Zampelli, From Sabotage to Succes

　　Assignment：Do society and other people benefit when individuals pursue their own goals?

　　這不就是我們上課的時(shí)候經(jīng)常看到的個(gè)人和集體類題目嗎，換湯不換藥。有關(guān)個(gè)人v.s. 和集體的利益/目標(biāo)這種題目建議和競爭與合作類題目結(jié)合，互為所用。

　　09年10月一道題：

　　Prompt：Both in society and in our own lives, todays problems are serious and require serious solutions. Increasingly, however, people are taught to laugh at things that arent usually funny and to cope with difficult situations by using humor. They are even advised to surround themselves with funny people. There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease.

　　Adapted from Marshall Brain, How Laughter Works

　　Assignment：Is using humor the best way to approach difficult situations and problems?

　　思維轉(zhuǎn)換下就不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，這不就是我們常說的Happiness題目嗎?就算考場上想不起來Abraham Lincoln...的例子，相信大家都曾經(jīng)歷或者聽說過以積極、樂觀、幽默的態(tài)度面對困難、挫折的experience或story。把這個(gè)例子細(xì)節(jié)化再配備不錯(cuò)的語言，想拿8分一點(diǎn)都不難(其實(shí)如果課堂上認(rèn)真準(zhǔn)備的話，這樣的個(gè)人軼事應(yīng)該是有寫過的)。這個(gè)題目提醒了我們審題的重要性，我們要培養(yǎng)的是把新題目往大類別上靠攏，盡量用準(zhǔn)備好的例子框架套在各種新題目上。

　　有的考生在09年10月考的是這道題--

　　Prompt：Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. You need one because you are human. You didnt come from nowhere. Before you, around you, and, presumably, after you, there are others. Even if you live alone and even if your solitude is by your own choice, you still cannot do without a network or a family.

　　Adapted from Jane Howard, All Happy Clans Are Alike: In Search of the Good Family

　　Assignment：Does everyone, even people who choose to live alone, need a network or family?

　　這道題考查的是個(gè)體和群體的關(guān)系。無論群體是家庭、學(xué)校、club還是其他機(jī)構(gòu)組織，都能為個(gè)體提供其生存生活所需，例如文化資本和社會(huì)資本。這個(gè)題目是較為容易的。

　　回顧上一年的SAT作文，可以說都在我們的準(zhǔn)備范圍內(nèi)。自05年春季SAT考試改革以來近130道作文題目，其實(shí)只要大家把它們分門別類，分別整理思路及素材，對付今后的SAT作文考試題目就比較容易了。展望一零年的SAT作文，不出意外，個(gè)人，大眾，社會(huì)的題目還會(huì)考到，此類題目輻射面廣且易考。另外建議大家關(guān)注下真善美類題目。最后預(yù)祝大家1月考試成功!
