托福独立写作题型解析之古今对比题

托福独立写作题型解析之古今对比题有时候托福写作中会考到今昔对比题，有些考生不知道从何下手，下面小编给大家带来托福独立写作题型解析之古今对比题，希望对大家有所帮助！托福独立写作题型之古今对比题古今对比题，It is easier to be well educated today than it is in the past. 现在比过去更容易接受良好的教育。

很多同学会有疑问，这里的过去Past到底是指的什么时候。

其实ETS也没有明确的界定，我们不妨把过去界定为：一个没有现在科技和当今一切让人们生活很便捷的用品的时代。

这类题目跟二选一题一样，也必须要拿自己选择的观点和没有选择的观点进行比较，在比较中体现出来自己所选观点的优越性。

就PPT中这个题目的思路展开：首先：科技的发展让人们能够更便捷的接受教育。

比如，人们现在有各种各样的电子产品(electronic devices)，能够方便我们在网上学习，看国外教授的讲座;甚至在走路、排队的时候，都可以用移动设备(Portable devices)学习;而在过去人们只能去教室听课，形式比较单一。

其次，现在人们经济条件更好了，能够负担的起各种高等教育，甚至出国留学。

而在过去，很多人都上不起学，或者上到一定程度，迫于家庭的经济压力，不得不早早辍学打工挣钱。

【举一反三】Nowadays people are more willing to help the people who they don’t know (for example, giving food and clothes to the people who need them) than they were in the past.首先，科技的发展让人们能够很快的知道哪里有需要帮助的人(social media; smart-phones; instant messaging)其次，人们的经济水平改善了，物质方面有条件去帮助有需要的人。

Lance Armstrong｛1｝An America former professional road cyclist who won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times .However ,no one could imagine that he was diagnosed as having testicular cancer, with a tumor that had metastasized to his brains and lungs .Though the prognosis was originally poor ,he never gives up hopes ,keeping on trying ,thus laying the brilliance of his bicycle career. What we really esteem is his persistence .Only by this could Armstrong become the only person to win seven times.(可用之处：1.persistence 2.one's deep love to career 3.optimistic 4.是否经历苦难才能成功）｛2｝Lance Armstrong ,an America former professional road racing cyclist ,won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times. Unfortunately, in 2004 reporter Pierre Ballester published a book alleging Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs, which leads a heavy blow to his reputation .Facing with such a terrible situation, Armstrong immediately sued for libel according to legislation to prove his innocence. It is by this rapid response that enormously reduces the loss from not only his reputation but also his finance.(可用之处：1.quick response 2.面对批判该如何面对）2. Yao Ming{1} Yao Ming, the best-known basketball player in China, is the most outstanding Asia athlete along NBA history. While at the beginning of his NBA career, several commentators, including Bill Simmons and Dick Vitale, predicted that Yao would fail in the NBA. Also, famous basketball player Charles Barkley make fun on Yao, saying that he would kiss Kenny Smith's ass if Yao scored more than 19 points in one of his rookie-reason games .Under the mocking from medium, Yao is in a great calmness because he clears that if he pays more attention on arguing with them, he would have less time on training. It is by his attitude toward it that wins the respects from others.(可用之处：1.外界的干扰2.快速回应并不好3.付出汗水才会有回报）3. Iraq WarMistakes are easily taken if a proposition has been made just by ones own. For instance, the Iraq War, the war that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by the United States under the administration of President George W Bush. However, about the administration had been argued for a long time. In fact, at the time when the invasion of Iraq first been put forward, most senators were indisagreement .Unfortunately, the President Bush willfully persisted doing that. As the result, such a great loss not only in large casualties but also in a depression of America economy testifies that the Iraq War at the beginning is incorrect. These great losses remind us of not being self-opinionated because usually mistakes can be taken without the help of others’.(可用之处：1.一意孤行会适得其反；2.做事应集合众人的建议)4. Challenger{1} In some cases, a tiny mistake may cause a huge catastrophe. For example, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred in 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean. Disintegration of entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff .The O-ring failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized hot gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB attachment hardware. It is this tiny mistake that broke up the orbiter. Therefore it is as vital to concern the situation as a whole as it is to emphasis details.(可用之处：1.细节决定成败；2.小的错误会酿成大错）{2}Nothing will suspend the human exploration of the universe. For instance, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. However, after the accident, NASA continue their project on investigation, hearing , engineering redesign of the SRBs, and other behind-the-senses technical and management reviews ,changes and preparations. In 1988, Space Shuttle Discovery lifted of with a crew of five from Kennedy Space Center, which represented a test of the redesigned boosters, a shift to a more conservative stance on safety. As a matter of fact, not all progress can easily be made under whatever situations while nothing will stop our attempts to explore new knowledge.5. Frank YangFrank Yang, a renowned physicist who won the Nobel Prize in theoretical physical. Although he won the top achievement –Nobel Prize for his non-conservation of parity theory, he struggled with what kind of physics he would choose at the start. When he was a graduate student, his major was experimental physics. At MIT, there was a joke widespread disseminated. It said “you can find Frank wherever has an explosion.” He tried hardly to improve his procedures, and repeated his experiment over and over; he still couldn’t figure out how to solve the problems. After his professor had an access to what he had done, the professor was attracted by his summary talent and steady theoretical physics knowledge. The professor suggested Frank that he should re-choose his major, and switchexperimental physics to theoretical physics. Frank adopted his professor idea. Consequently, he devoted his life to the theoretical which is more suitable for him and acquired the remarkable achievements for science and human. If he had not taken the advice from his professor, he might never stand out or accomplish any valuable things for human.6. BusinessPersistence plays an essential role in determining one's success in business. For example, Chirrs Gardner, the main character in the movie named The Pursuit of Happiness, is trying to be a stockbroker at a company because of the financially breaking. Excellent calculating skills are necessary for a good stockbroker. However, he knows nothing about it. Untalented as he is, he never gives up, squeezing time to finish his work when other competitors take a rest .Also, he always busy working between officers and customers tireless .After 6 months training, it is his persistence in working that guarantees his great success. Therefore, what I want to emphasize is that the individuals without outstanding ability can be successful by being persistent.7. John NashBefore 1950, Adam Smith was respected as “the father of Game Theory”, he wrote a famous book named The Wealth of Nations and demonstrated “perfect competition” which was commonly accepted by people. There is a sentence from the book “Individual ambition serious the common good” which means when each individual pursue his own interests, the benefits of the group will be improved most effectively. However, John Nash, a normal mathematician in Princeton University, created a theory “Nash Equilibrium” whic h laid the foundation of Game Theory in 1950. He doubted the statement from Adam Smith, and he succeeded. John Nash wrote a 28 pages dissertation to argue a new theory. Due to the fact that personal benefits conflict each other, the interest of a group will be harmed. To ensure the interests of whole group, individuals should find equilibrium between the personal and group interests. Consequently, John Nash received the Nobel Prize in economics and fundamentally reformed the arena of economics.8. Henry FordHenry ford, one of the most influential inventors in the history, was always inattentive in school. Once, he and a friend took a watch apart to probe the principle behind it. Angry and upset, the teacher punished him both to stay after school. Their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. But the teacher did not know young ford’s genius, in ten minutes; this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home. It is imagination that invigorated Ford to make a through inquiry about things he did not know. He once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. Then he waited to see what would happen. The water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. Since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. The explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. Ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off, when he built his imagination of horseless carriage into reality, thehistory of transportation was changed forever.9.

After begging God to grow arms and legs, Nick eventually began to realize that his accomplishments were inspirational to many, and began to thank God for being alive.

So far, he has spoken to over two million people so far, in twelve countries on four continents.

He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concert, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and twosons.( 可用之处：天才儿童，重视天赋，培养，个人兴趣)Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate.

SAT作文真题+满分范文(高难度)

SAT作文真题+满分范文（高难度）请学生每天挑选一篇文章，翻译成中文然后第二天根据中文，翻译回英文然后找学习顾问检查Assignment: Should we admire heroes but not celebrities? (2007.10)There are people suggesting that we should admire heroes but not celebrities. Admittedly, heroes are famous because they are great people, while a certain number of people become celebrities only because of their undeserved fame. However, this does not mean that all celebrities are not worthy admiration. In fact, there are still a multitude of admirable celebrities who are also amazing people and can bring us enormous positive influence.An excellent example to prove this point is Nicholas James Vujicic, who is not a hero saving a country but a celebrity famous for his unusual experiences. He was born with a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs but now is a well-known motivational speaker helping thousands of people. While born with no limbs, Vujicic was not defeated by his disability. Instead, he learned to transcend his disability. With his optimism and persistence, he successfully mastered the daily tasks of life, like typing, shaving, brushing teeth and answering the phone, and he even learned to dive and throw tennis balls without limbs. Now he is a man grateful for life and a motivational speaker giving talks to share his stories and to encourage people to be confident and thankful. A tremendous amount of his fans have learned from him optimism, self-confidence, persistence and gratitude, and I am also one of them. Vujicic is now my idol. Whenever I encounter obstacles or failures, I think of him, and then I get courage to move on.Another example of the celebrities worthy of admiration is Steve Jobs, the former CEO of the present extremely successful Apple Inc. Though not a hero saving the whole world, Jobs is, undoubtedly, one of the most renowned and influential people in the human history. His innovation has transformed a variety of fields like computer, music, movie, phone and retailing. Today,people around the world are learning from him. Entrepreneurs learn from him leadership, management and inspiring. Designers learn from him how to create a product that is both functional and beautiful. Students learn from him how to pursue what they are truly passionate about. Ordinary people who are craving for success learn from him the secrets to spectacular achievement. As a world-known celebrity, Jobs is definitely worth admiring. His wisdom and legacy will benefit generations of people.Nicholas James Vujicic and Steve Jobs are only two of the countless examples of the celebrities that worth admiring. Worshiping these famous people is no less valuable than looking up to heroes.(2006.6) Do we tend to accept the opinions of others instead of developing our own independent ideas?It is rare to find an objective and independent viewpoint on style, literature, politics, or any other matter. Many people's opinions are formed through their associations with others. It is our nature to conform; conformity is a force that few can successfully resist. We give in to the human instinct to go along with the crowd and to have its approval.Truly, it is our nature to conform, and human’s long history has witnessed the prevalence of conformity among the general public. However, this does not indicate that we will give in to our nature all the time. In the modern age, with education available to most people and with competition heating up around the globe, people in mounting number are developing their own independent ideas instead of blindly conforming to others.In history, there are abundant examples revealing that most of the remarkable breakthroughs that humans have ever made are invariably attributable to a few individuals’ independent ideas instead of those of the majority. This indicates a significant fact about the majority of our ancestors, that is, a strong tendency to conform to conventional thoughts and wisdom with little independent questioning. For instance, one of the biggest revolution in the field of astronomy was sparked by an individual—Copernicus whosehel iocentric model transformed people’s understanding of the universe. Before Copernicus’ novel idea was popularized, the public at the time tended to conform to the widely held views, believing that Earth was the center of the universe. Had it not been for C opernicus’ novel theory, the public would have been fooled for longer time.However, fortunately, this is no longer the case with modern people who have more and easier accesses to public education. Since modern education highly values critical thinking and independent thinking, people receiving this education are all encouraged and trained to do independent thinking. Hence, now it is not uncommon to see children challenging their parents’ excessive controlling at home, students questioning their teachers in class, and people protesting against unjust laws or policies in the street. These are all the manifestations of modern people’s independent thinking.Another factor contributing to the strong tendency to independent thinking is the rigorous global competition facing the present world. To succeed in this highly competitive world, one has to resort to innovation, which entails independent thinking. Hence, the ability to think independently has become a key element of one’s success. The unprecedented success of Apple Company is the best illustration of this. Thanks to its exceptional creativity, Apple not only defeats all his rivals but also brings us such amazing products as iPad and iPhone. In a word, the pressure of living in the world rife with competition is forcing people to nurture their independent thinking ability so that they can innovate and then succeed.In the past, humans were subject to conformity, but it is not the case now. The widespread public education and the competition around the world are shaping the strong tendency for people to think independently rather than just blindly following others’ steps.Assignment: When some people win, must others lose, or are there situations in which everyone wins? (2009.6)It is often assumed that when someone wins, there must be people losing. Indeed, there are some people whose winning is at the cost of the happiness of others. However, this does not mean that there is no situation in which everyone wins. In fact, when we cooperate with others, there will be a win-win situation.An excellent example to illustrate this point is the international cooperation among countries around the world to deal with the deteriorating global warming. Scientists and environmentalists have warned us that our planet is facing a warming climate globally, which will cause a series of problems like ice melting in Antarctic areas, rising of sea levels, desertification and so on. These problems will severely threaten humans’survival in the near future. Cognizant of the possible catastrophic consequences of global warming, nations around the world are trying to reach an agreement to curb global warming. While the international cooperation concerning this issue is not going on smoothly, once the international agreement is settled down, every nation will benefit from this joint effort. Once our planet is exempt from the threat of global warming, each nation will be protected. In this case, every nation is a winner. In other words, this international cooperation creates a win-win situation.Apart from international cooperation, in business world, it is also not uncommon to see win-win situations. A typical example is the partnership between Apple Company and such top record companies as Time Warner. When Jobs unveiled iPod in 2001, he sensed that the music service provided by record companies at the time was far from satisfactory. Nor were the record companies themselves satisfied with the music service, for there was massive piracy hurting their profits. Hence, to improve music service, Jobs and his team created the iTunes Store and persuaded the top record companies at the time such as Warner Music and Universal Music Group to sell music in the iTunes Store. In this successful partnership, both Apple Company and the record companies were winners, for the rising popularity of the iTunes Store not only immensely sparked the sales of iPod, but also stimulated the sales of the music of those record companies, helping them sell a million songs in six days. Now the iTunes Store it has been the most popular music vendor in the world since 2010. The spectacular success of the iTunes Store is just another example of win-win situation.One’s winning does not have to occur at the expense of others’ success or happiness. As shown in the above two examples, when there is successful cooperation, there will be a win-win situation.Assignment: Can common sense be trusted and accepted, or should it be questioned? (2009.6)Common sense is the product of society’s norms during a certain time frame, prone to reinventing itself at the change of an opinion. Such “common sense” cannot be the natural basis of all decisions and must be questioned, as it is contingent upon fickle norms.Millennia ago, the Egyptians believed that thought and reasons were formed inside the heart, not the brain. Thus, during the process of embalmment, they threw away the brain while carefully preserving the heart in an assortment of herbs. It was common sense, they thought, that one’s center of knowledgeshould rest in the center of the body. We know now that what they believed to be “common sense” was in fact flawed and incorrect, yet at the time, Egypt was the most technologically advanced nation on the planet and its beliefs were thought to be the most correct. By ancient Egypt’s e xample, we can clearly see that one era’s common sense may become utter nonsense with the passing of time.Centuries ago, the Chinese believed that their emperor was divine, a son of the heavens who had to be respected and worshipped at all times. It seems ridiculous now, that any mere mortal could be seen as a divinity, yet religious common sense of the 10th century persuaded all citizens that it was noble and necessary to worship their ruler. Their common sense depended on the religious beliefs of their time – beliefs we now perceived to be incorrect and even somewhat silly. Common sense, it seems, does not always confer common sensibility.Decades ago, Americans believed that it was common sense to spread a certain pesticide in their fields – because who could want bugs preying on potentially profitable wheat, corn, or rice products? The pesticide they used was DDT, and years later, we now know that what Americans of the mid 1900s believed to be beneficial common sense translated into environmental harm and ecosystem destruction.From the scientific beliefs of ancient Egyptians to the religious and agricultural “common sense” of the Chinese and Americans, it is evident that common sense is quite common but not necessarily sensible.。

sat作文字数要求

sat作文字数要求篇一：sat写作开头段也有字数要求SaT写作开头段也有字数要求这里要提醒大家的是SaT写作开头段也有字数要求，希望各位考生好好备考，仅供大家参考借鉴。

SaT作文开头段字数要求，一般写5行以内吧~3句为佳，并且算上审题,立意,想例子,想内容之类的加起来一共只能用最多5分钟,要不以后的例子就写不完了，所以开头只能写5行之内,否则时间过于紧张SaT写作的字数要求一般来说，sat作文字数控制在350-450字就已经很好了，只要达到这个范围内基本上就不会对你的分数产生任何负面的影响，只有一段字数的论文是不可能在SaT的考试中拿到高分的，这是因为只有一节段的论文是很难发挥出作者的对考题的分析和对例子的讲析。

当然如果你的字数少于300字的话，那么很有可能对你的作文产生负面影响，但是只要是300字以上就问题不大了。

实际上，很多考生怕sat作文字数不够影响自己的得分，所以，都是往多了写，但是sat作文字数也并非越多越好，当作文达到500字的时候，绝对已经高于SaT所要求的字数了，但是再写多已经不会提升你的分数了，这个时候不如好好修改一下已经写过的文章，或者把写过的文章好好润润色，加入一些强调句式或者倒装句，这样会使自己的文章看上去更有生气。

SaT写作考试虽然没有字数要求，但是根据考生的SaT作文成绩，建议考生们在SaT考试中写出大概3到5个节段的文章，考生们可以在第一段里写出一个吸引人眼球的简介，接着是一个解析清楚的body，最后跟着一个干净利落的结尾。

SaT写作开头段也有字数要求，对考生来说，SaT作文看似没有字数要求，但实际上你只有写到一定的字数才可能表达清楚文章的意思，我们还是要给自己定一个标准，不要写得太多，也不要只有一段文字，思路清晰，内容完整，除此之外，提醒考生在备考的时候注意总结SaT素材。

篇二：SaT作文考试字数的问题新航道英语SaT频道为各位考生整理了SaT作文考试字数的问题，供考生们参考使用，更多SaT辅导请继续关注杭州新航道SaT频道。

美国高考作文

美国高考作文【高考语文】美国高考作文400字6月15日，高考第一天，高考作文迅速占领各大主流媒体头条。

同时被誉为"美国高考"的SAT作文题目也新鲜出炉。

与国内高考语文不同，SAT考试开篇即考作文。

作文没有明确的字数限制，一般来说sat作文字数控制在350-450字就已经很好了，只要达到这个范围内基本上就不会对你的分数产生任何负面的影响。

下面我们来看一下内容的不同。

SAT考试满分为2400，其中阅读800，数学800以及写作800。

由此分数分布可以看出写作部分在整个考试的比重中占了三分之一，其重要性不言而喻。

SAT写作主要题型包括选择题和一篇命题作文。

命题作文要求结构完整并有自己的观点看法。

2015年6月6日SAT考试亚洲地区作文题：Assignment: Do people need to spend less time with others in order to appreciate them.(相处时间多了反而会烦躁)SAT作文考查的是学生的思辨能力，而不是能不能回答出问题，因此该问题的各个方面可以成为学生的答案，考生甚至可以缩放题目来形成自己的观点。

我们既可以从“客观”的角度出发，同意题目观点，从而说明当我们跟这个人相处时间不多，不容易有私人感情的干扰，从而可以更客观地去判断他们的优点而不带任何感情色彩;也可以从了解一个人的优点需要长期的积累出发;还可以用辩证的观点来看待它。

SAT作文考的是说服性作文，即考查考生能否在短时间内搜集大量的论据，具体论证自己的观点。

SAT作文对考生的写作风格不做要求，考生可以用正式语言和非正式语言，引用文学或者历史材料作为例子，也可以采用个人经历作为例子来论证，以及全文以第一人称“I”进行论证等。

“观点不重要，关键是用实例证明。

”SAT作文启发思维能力，训练学生反思和怀疑的能力。

没有标准答案，只要学生能用自己的观点自圆其说。

所以SAT作文是让学生打开思维畅所欲言并且要有自己的观点，这样的写作是将自己的思维用文字有条理地清晰地表述出来，这才是能力的体现。

新sat作文范文og新版satog作文有范文

新sat作文范文og新版satog作文有范文SAT写作真题：Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?SAT写作范文：Every person has his or her own idea of ethics and morality, regardless of objective truth. Authority figures, whether teachers, heads of nations, or other positions of power, may not always be in line with that morality. In order to determine whether an authority figure is doing what is just, individuals must speak out when they perceive injustice. Oftentimes, that means questioning authority.Despotic novels often portray systems of national leadership in which questioning governmental authority is explicitly forbidden. George Orwell’s novel 1984 is such a story. The government is known collectively as "Big Brother," who is a symbolic entity continually watching over every citizen. The language, Newspeak, is constantlybeing updated to control people’s expression and thereby control their thoughts. Anyone caught even thinking something other than Big Brother would want them to think are arrested by the Thought Police. Under this regime, there are virtually no independent thinkers. Every piece of information given to the people es through the government, which has the power to change facts and history with utter impunity. The main character, Winston, manages to catch on, but in the end, he is finally brainwashed by torture. In this society of obedient drones, truth is irrelevant because there are no lies.When a student goes through formal education, he must be on his guard when it es to what he absorbs. In the midst of objective facts, all too often a teacher may attempt to indoctrinate him with the teacher’s own ideology. One need only look at the majority of United States universities. There are thousands of easily-aessed articles exposing documented incidences of teachers boldly instilling intheir students the liberal ideology. Universities are cesspools of leftist professors who punish students who express differences of opinion. Yet without those fewquestioning students, the rest of the student body would be subjected to unadulterated liberal lectures, with nary an opposing view in earshot. In order to form proper opinions, students must be exposed to both sides of an issue, and both sides must be questioned so as to ascertain the truth of each.Leaders of other countries must also be questioned by nonresidents so as to discover precisely what is happening under their authority.哈, 我教过这篇. 楼主说的那篇文章是难借鉴, 但是它的优点还有可以学的, 如词汇的多样话, 句型等, 当然还有organization.楼主自己说的对, 如果没法从interest写到 change, 那就得换个理由, 嗯? 再说一个理由一般也不够. 其实那个interest可以扩展一下, 从interest写到desire and drive, 就可以联系到change. 可以举一些个人生活中的例子.我是美籍华人英语老师, 这里没法细说, 有问题的话在线找我, ___也可以, 但是百度留言我有可能看不到...But是连词，最好不这么用。

ACT与SAT

·涉及科学领域，如物理、化学、生物学、地质学、气象学等，无公式计算题，实际上考核学生对实验数据（如图表）的分析和理解能力。外强中干，貌似艰难无比，实则掌握了考试规律，就会柳暗花明。共7篇，35分钟完成
数学部分
·SAT与ACT无甚差异，都是中国学生的强项。
考试地点和花费如何？
SAT大陆无考点，需到香港、台湾考试，71美金一次。
美国目前的实际情况是，ACT的影响与SAT并驾齐驱。一个数据可以做佐证：2007年，全美参加ACT考试的人数和SAT考试的人数之比是42%：58%。另外，有些州，强制性要求高中生参加ACT考试，作为检验高中教学质量的标尺。
·是否SAT流行于东西海岸，而ACT流行于中部？
完全错误。
登陆任何一所排名在前100的美国大学网站，查看本科录取条件，都会发现，美国大学要求的是ACT或SAT成绩，任取其一。在两者之间并无偏好。
ACT就一种题型：单篇长文章，共4篇字数在800字左右的文章。
·时间要求上，SAT在70分钟完成67道题目；ACT要求35分钟完成40道题目。
·总的来说，ACT题型简单，题目简单，但答题时间稍短；SAT题型复杂，文章难，题目难，但答题时间长。
写作部分
·题型上，SAT仍然较为复杂。分四种题型：短文、句子挑错、句子改善、篇章改善。短文需在25分钟之内完成。其余三个题型都是选择题，共49道，要求在35分钟之内完成。

托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作

托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作托福写作有分为独立写作和综合写作两个部分今天小编就来和大家分享一下独立写作的题型简介以及备考策略，希望对大家有帮助！托福写作题型简介及备考策略——独立写作1 托福独立写作介绍1.1 典型问法托福独立写作部分(the Independent Writing Task)为新托福写作试题的第二个部分，要求考生针对某个问题提出自己的论点并展开，考试时间为30分钟。

这种题目的典型问法为：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?[A sentence or sentences that present an issue appear here]Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.1.2 评分原则和评分标准评分原则：从2010年1月开始，iBT写作评分系统做出重大改革。

由原来的两位阅卷者独立阅卷给分，两个分数的算术平均值为原始分，改为一个阅卷人和一个电脑评分系统(E-Rater)分别给分。

其中，E-Rater负责Linguistic feature(语言因素)，即语法，句法和结构;人工负责文章内容和含义;两部分相加，即为考生的作文原始分。

而最终的分数则与原始分所占的百分比(Percentile)相关：比如30分对应97.9%，即只有2.1%的人得到了满分。

Groggily, I reached over and turned it off. Another day, another early start. I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom. As I brushed my teeth, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I wondered what the day had in store for me.Stepping outside, I was greeted by the crisp morning air. The sun had just begun to rise, casting a warm glow over everything. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the fresh air. It was invigorating, a reminder that each day is a new opportunity.Walking to the bus stop, I observed the hustle and bustle of the city. People rushed by, their faces buried in their phones or lost in their own thoughts. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry, chasing after something. It made me reflect on the fast-paced nature of our society.As I boarded the bus, I found a seat near the window. Iwatched as the cityscape transformed into a blur of buildings and trees. It was like watching a movie, each frame passing by in a blink of an eye. I wondered about the stories hidden within those walls, the lives being lived behind closed doors.Arriving at school, I joined the sea of students flooding the hallways. The chatter and laughter filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere. It reminded me of the diversity and energy that exists within our school community. Each person had their own story, their own dreams and aspirations.In class, the teacher began a discussion on a thought-provoking topic. The room buzzed with excitement as opinions clashed and ideas were shared. It was a reminder of the power of dialogue and the importance of listening to different perspectives. We were all learning from each other, expanding our horizons with every word spoken.During lunch break, I sat with my friends in the courtyard. We laughed and talked, enjoying each other'scompany. It was a moment of pure joy and connection. We were all different, with our own quirks and interests, but in that moment, we were united by our friendship.As the school day came to an end, I packed up my belongings and headed home. The sun had set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. It was a beautiful sight, a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us every day. I felt grateful for the experiences and interactions that had shaped my day.Finally, as I crawled into bed, I reflected on the events of the day. It had been a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with ups and downs. But through it all, I had learned, grown, and connected with others. And that, I realized, is what makes each day worth living.。

SAT考试及ACT考试内容都有哪些具体的区别

SAT考试及ACT考试内容都有哪些具体的区别我们对于考试的内容做一个深入的对比，我们先来看一下科目，SAT考四科，分别是阅读、语法、写作、数学；ACT考五科，除了前面这四科之外还加了一个科学推理，我着重来比较一下阅读、写作和科推这三科，因为语法和数学差不太多，而且SAT改革之后其实我们感觉它就是照着ACT的语法“赤裸裸的抄袭”。

接下来和小编一起了解下详细的内容吧。

但是SAT的语法语言写的相对来说比ACT更加高级一些，ACT语法语言更加的直白。

但是本质上各种语法的考点也好考法也好都差不多，所以这块不需要做更多的分析，并不是一个可以差异化这两个考试的核心因素。

SAT和ACT哪个更受到家长和学生的欢迎呢？学习SAT和ACT最难的是什么呢？在学习SAT和ACT考试科目中花费如何？今天我们就来听您说：跟国际学校有关的那些花费！科目SAT ACT阅读√√语法√√写作√√数学√√科学推理√我们再来看一下数学，我们必须要承认的是ACT比SAT考的内容更多一些，而且题目相对来说稍微更难一些，但是鉴于咱们中国学生数学是一个很强势的科目，所以其实也没有特别本质的区分，而且SAT数学很容易马虎，虽然题不难，但是很多时候有时候信息看不到就有可能做错，所以这两块我们就不比较了，咱们现在主要来比这三件事，阅读、写作和科学推理。

首先SAT比ACT高级的地方是SAT考一些历史类的文章，这块很多家长说可能涉及到很多历史的文章，的确不是很好懂，因为有些文章是写于一二百年前，有些语法都跟现在有些差别，而且有些背景知识可能同学们不太了解读起来比较费劲，其他的文学、自然社会科学都差不多，所以SAT的阅读有这样一个小难点。

我们再来看这块叫双篇，双篇是一类型的题目，这类型的题目对于中国学生来说也不是特别好做，原因就是咱们中国学生很少去培养他比较阅读的能力。

说白了双篇就是拿两篇观点相同或者相反的文章放在一起来给你区分，有些问题问某一篇文章，有些问题问两篇文章的比较对比。

新SAT作文(Essay)详解：写作部分为选考

新SAT作文(Essay)详解：写作部分为选考作文部分(Essay)是新SAT所有内容中调整幅度最大的。

新旧SAT的作文部分具体有哪些不同？为什么会做出这样的改变？新SAT对考生有哪些新的要求？中国考生又会遇到什么样的挑战？以下的这篇文章是博图教育为您的详细解答。

现行SAT要求考生根据题干要求，在25分钟内写一篇大概400字的文章；新SAT的写作部分要求考生先读一篇的文章，然后对文章的内容和表达效果进行分析和评论，总时长是50分钟。

考试主要从文章了解、例证引用、行为逻辑、书面语言四个方面来评分。

现行SAT中，写作是必考，而在新SAT中，写作部分为选考。

College Board为什么会做这样的改变呢？首先，现行SAT的写作部分(Essay)主要依赖学生个人的自由表达，例证可以来自事实也可以来自学生个人经历。

由于不是每个人都有那么多素材可以挖掘，很多学生会瞎编乱造个人经历，严重违背了College Board一切以事实为准绳的严谨风格。

其次，多项研究表明加不加写作后的结果对学生大学表现的预测效果并无太大影响。

这直接导致了第三个影响因子：大学的招生官对于Essay部分的评价存在严重分歧。

作为上游机构的大学提出异议，College Board自然也无法强行要求。

(SAT写作<Essay>由必考变为选考并不意味着考生真的可以自由选择是否参考，因为只要考生申请的任何一所学校要求Essay分数，该考生就必须参加考试。

)新SAT写作(Essay)关键词读写结合新SAT要求考生先读一篇文章，然后再写一篇评论。

文章一般是议论文，650-750字，文章特点是难度适中，论证清晰。

从某种意义上说，新SAT作文是阅读部分的延伸。

阅读文章通常针对学生日常学习和生活中遇到的问题进行探讨，比如《细则》中的两篇文章，一篇是关于“文学和阅读的价值”的探讨，另一篇则是有关“黑夜的重要性”的分析。

在新SAT里，阅读文章是写作的基础，是写作中一切论据的来源，只有把文章读懂了才有写作的可能。

sat作文范文

SAT作文范文SAT作文是SAT考试中的一项重要内容，它要求考生在45分钟内撰写一篇800字左右的文章，表达自己对于一个给定话题的观点。

在这篇文章中，我们将为大家提供一篇SAT作文范文，希望能够帮助大家更好地了解SAT作文的要求和写作技巧。

题目以下是一道SAT作文题目：Do people benefit more from having many choices or few choices?范文以下是一篇SAT作文范文：In today’s society, people are faced with an abundance of choices in every aspect of their lives. From what to eat for breakfast to what career to pursue, the number of options available can be overwhelming. Some argue that having many choices is beneficial because it allows individuals to find the best fit for their needs and preferences. Others, however, believe that having too many choices can be detrimental to decision-making and ultimately lead to dissatisfaction. In my opinion, people benefit more from having few choices.Firstly, having too many choices can lead to decision paralysis. When presented with a large number of options, individuals may become overwhelmed and unable to make a decision. This can lead to procrastination, anxiety, and ultimately, dissatisfaction with the final choice. In contrast, having fewer choices can make decision-making easier and less stressful. For example, when choosing a restaurant for dinner, having a limited number of options can make the decision-making process quicker and more enjoyable.Secondly, having fewer choices can lead to greater satisfaction with the final decision. When individuals are presented with a limited number of options, they are more likely to carefully consider each one and choose the best fit for their needs and preferences. This can lead to greater satisfaction with the final decision because individuals feel confident that they have made the best choice possible. In contrast, when presented with a large number of options, individuals may feel that they have not explored all of the possibilities and may be left wondering if they made the right choice.Finally, having fewer choices can lead to greater appreciation for what is available. When individuals are presented with a limited number of options, they are more likely to appreciate what is available and make the most of it. This can lead to greater satisfaction with the final choice because individuals feel that they have made the most of what is available to them. In contrast, when presented with a large number of options, individuals may take what is available for granted and not appreciate it as much as they would if they had fewer choices.In conclusion, while having many choices may seem beneficial, I believe that people benefit more from having few choices. Having fewer choices can lead to easier decision-making, greater satisfaction with the final decision, and greater appreciation for what is available. Therefore, I believe that individuals should focus on making the most of what is available to them rather than constantly seeking out new options.。
