新SAT官方指南詳解：寫作分冊(第二版)（簡體書）

眾所周知，新SAT考試雖然分為三個項，分別考查學生的數學能力、分析能力、邏輯推理能力以及語言運用能力，而這三項考試卻都是在全英文的環境下進行的。對於中國考生來講，更重要的是理解出題方的思維方式和解題思路，而不是簡單地記憶英語詞匯；需要的是培養一種英語閱讀素養，從而更快地在規定時間內完成題目。同時，逐漸養成的思維方式也會幫助考生更好地適應未來在大洋彼岸的大學生活，這也是新SAT考試的目的：幫助學校瞭解申請者是否已經在智力上為大學的學習做好了準備。這就是為什麼我們從考試的發源國：美國，引進出版這套叢書的目的。施夷長技以制夷。出於以上考慮，我們針對不同分項考試的特點，在出版的過程中對每冊書的翻譯做了不同的處理。
寫作分冊，除對考試要求介紹做了翻譯以外，其他的內容全部採用英文。這樣的設計也是為了讓考生能夠有更多的機會瞭解並理解美國式的寫作要求以及寫作方法，從而在考試中避免使用中式英語，並為適應未來留學生活中的繁重學業做好必要的準備。美國大學的很多作業都是以小論文的方式出現，良好的寫作技必然會大大提高學習的效率。考慮到講解部分可能涉及一些考生不認識的單詞，我們做了一個詞匯表，供學生參考。

I believe that bullies are often people who are not truly happy.It's just my opinion,of course,and a lot of people say different things,but those who have to pick on the weak can't really feel good about themselves,as I can demonstrate with a few examples.
This phrasing distracts the readers with questions of how you acquired your opinion and your belief and with the unnecessary announcement that you will actually try to support your claim with examples.It is much better to simply state your position.
Bullies are often people who aren't really happy.They may have whatpsychologists call "self-es-teem," but those who have to pick on the weak can't reaUy feel good about themselves.Liewise,avoid presumption.Don't tell your reader what you have done.If you've done it,the reader knows it,If you haven't,saying that you have is presumptuous,Don't use phrases like as this shovesor as my analy sis demonstrates.
Consider this conclusion to an essay that discussed some positive outcomes of war.As I said in the beginning,every cloud has a silver lining,and this has been shown in this essay with the examples of some wars and individual diseases.Both of these are bad things overall but which sometimes can have good things come out of them.This shows that...
This conclusion says "In case you weren't paying attention,here's what I just finished saying." It insults the reader.
Instead,a good conclusion should present new and interesting thoughts connected to the thesis.This conclusion merely repeats the thesis and condescends to the reader.
Of course,wars are among the most tragic of all human events.If wars can have beneficial outcomes,then surely we can see the good in lesser tragedies.Perhaps if we could take such a positive perspec-rive on our everyday problems,we would live happier lives.
This conclusion is more effective because it extends the thesis,offers a suggestion,and leaves the reader thinking.
