SSAT考试内容中的最后一部分是写作部分。虽然写作部分不计分,但也同样会跟成绩单一起寄送给申请学校。
SSAT写作题型
但也SSAT作文题目主要分为三大类:谚语(proverb)、陈述(statement)及开放性问题(open question)。三类题目举例如下:
谚语类举例:
Topic: Practice makes perfect. Assignment: Do you agree or disagree with the topic statement? Support your position with one or two specific examples from your own experience, the experience of others, current events, history, or literature.
陈述类举例: Topic: Students should wear uniforms to school. Assignment: Do you agree or disagree with the topic statement? Support your position with one or two specific examples from your own experience, the experience of others, current events, history, or literature.
开放性问题举例1: If I could visit another city, I would choose…
开放性问题举例2: How can we help the elderly in our community?
谚语与陈述类话题类似,题目由两部分组成:topic和assignment,写作要求为:针对话题表明态度(agree or disagree);然后采用1-2个具体的例子支持观点,例子来源于考生自己的生活经验、他人的生活经验、时事、历史以及文学。开放性问题类型较为多样,通常有两种模式:1. 给出一个不完整的句子,让考生将该句话补充完整,并作为文章的开头继续写下去;2. 给出一个问题让考生回答。
文章的结构
SSAT文章通常写4-5段,一共分为三个部分:开头(introduction)、主干(body)和结尾(conclusion)。开头和结尾各一段,主干写2-3段。 如下是各部分的相应模板、句型等。由此可以看出只有掌握大量的SSAT考试词汇,才能写出一篇完美的文章。
