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。
