推荐两个好用的SAT写作例子 [复制链接]

1楼萝岗橙
准备名人事例能帮助学生们更容易地应对考试题目,所以我们应该选择容易记忆的和全面的“好用的”事例。SAT写作考试经常涉及到一些“永恒”的“大问题”,例如“独立思考的精神”、“个性”、“乐观坚持的品质”,以及“道德责任感”。因此,我们可以准备跟这些话题相关的事例。以下这两个人物的故事就是比较典型的“好用”事例,经过“再创作”,即用自己的语言转述一遍,同学们就可以有效利用在考试当中了。
  例一:美国舞蹈家Loie Fuller
  该舞蹈家最主要的事迹就是创造了独具风格的舞蹈和舞台技术。在她生活的时代,她无疑是个另类,始终致力于创造新奇的舞蹈并且陶醉其中。即使她的风格并没有得到大多数人的称赞,她也因此感到挫折,但是,她凭借自己的创新和想象力在艺术之都——巴黎——赢得了世人热烈的掌声。
  Born in a ballet-ruling era, Loie Fuller established her own style of dance even though she was not quiet accepted as an artist at first. Having received minimal formal dance training, Fuller wanted to create dances that emphasized free body movement rather than to follow the technical virtuosity of movement in ballet. Obsessed with the beauty of the nature, Fuller represented natural objects—Fire, the Lily, the Butterfly, and so on— in her dance. In order to achieve the best visual effects, she not only adopted electrical lighting, which was then in its infancy, but also invented special arrangements of mirrors. Despite such achievements, Fuller was unsatisfied with the response from the audience who took her dance for entertainments. With the purpose of bettering her dance, she went to Paris, the art capital of Europe, where she made friends with other famous artists and scientists who were amazed at her fantastic dance. Together with some artists who preferred natural motifs, she contributed to the fashionable Art Nouveau style, making her even more popular in Paris.
  例二:肯尼亚社会活动家Wangari Maathai
  作为非洲第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女性,旺加里的贡献主要体现在她为争取平等和保护环境所作出的努力。她勇敢积极的组织和参与“绿丝带”运动,帮助妇女改善经济地位的同时也让他们对环境保护出一份力。因为坚持呼吁民主,她曾被警告和关押。但是她执着地去追求内心的价值最终使得她获得国际认可,成为诺贝尔奖得主。
  In 1970s, gender inequality was a prevalent problem in many countries. Kenya was among these countries. Women at that time were too obedient to think independently for their rights and benefits. Unlike those who remained to be deaf and blind to such important issues, Wangari Maathai, a female professor, had engaged in serious thinking for years, attempting to improve democracy and women’s conditions. In order to combine other women’s efforts, she led the “Green Belt Movement” which taught women to earn a decent living by planting trees and making money. Through this hands-on method, women would also know that restoring forests is part of a larger mission to create a society that respects them. Such awareness of equality and democracy, however, undermined the order of the men-dominated system of the country. Thus, Maathai was threatened and arrested by the police for many times. However, nothing could ever change her mind. The admirable perseverance made her so renowned that international humanity organizations came to help, forcing the government to release her. Although she was not appreciated by the former rulers who thought her to be a threat to the order of the country, she was highly praised internationally and awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
  以上两个名人事例,都可以用在“挑战传统”、“质疑权威”、“乐观坚持”,“不断完善自我”等题目当中。 例如:对于2005年11月题目“Should  our  perceptions  of  beauty  be  influenced  by  the  perceptions  of  beauty  of  other people?”,可以回答说Loie Fuller没有受到别人对舞蹈之美的影响,而Wangari Maathai则没有受到别人对女性之美的影响;对于“Is it  more valuable  for  people  to fit  in  than to  be  unique  and  different?”,可以说Loie Fuller的舞蹈很另类,Wangari的思想   异端;对于2011年10月题目 “Are people better off if they do not listen to criticism?” ,可以说Loie Fuller 和Wangari Maathai都是不听从别人的批评,坚持个人的风格和观点;对于2011年11月题目“Do the people who are optimistic and confident more easily than others to make changes in their lives?”时,可以说他们在别人不理解甚至反对自己的时候都仍然保持积极的心态,仍然自信;对于2009年6月题目“Is it best for people to accept who they are and what  they  have,  or should people always strive  to  better  themselves?”可以说Loie Fuller不满足于自己在美国获得的成就,所以去法国深造,而Wangari Maathai 不满意女性的地位,同时也想要改善环境,所以发起“绿丝带”运动。
  除了刚才列举的这些题目之外,Loie Fuller 和Wangari Maathai的例子还能证明很多相关的话题。学习这两个例子,一方面能够利用在你今后的考试中,另一方面能够启发你去准备自己喜欢的好用的名人事例。只要多读,多想,多写,你一定能够在SAT写作考试取得好成绩!最后,北京新东方VIP中心祝愿同学们在即将到来的考试中取得理想成绩!
