第一篇：SAT寫作技巧[定稿]

內(nèi)容摘要：SAT作文是SAT考試中永遠放在第一個section考察的the 25-minute essay。在你開始寫第一篇作文之前，請你務必仔細閱讀CB的the Offical SAT Study Guide中的相關章節(jié)。只有它，才能為你指明真正的備考方向。SAT作文如何取得高分呢？我們一同來分享一下SAT寫作三步致勝法則吧。

出題特點

首先，我們來關注一下SAT寫作考試的出題形式。一般來說，SAT作文題目由Prompt(背景)+ Assignment(任務，題目)這兩部分組成。Prompt是給考生提供理解Assignment的線索，而Assignment中的問題則是在作文中要回答的。

由于SAT是針對高中生升大學的考試，因此寫作話題不需要具備單項的專業(yè)背景知識，但話題涉及范圍卻非常廣泛，包括文學、藝術、運動、政治、技 術、科學、歷史及時事。值得學生注意的是，SAT的Official Guide中清楚地說明了 The essay readers are not looking for one correct viewpoint。

所以有些考生企圖竭力 尋找一個觀點，借此討好閱卷老師，這種做法是沒有意義，也是浪費時間的。你選擇什么樣的立場其實并不重要，重要的是你能否做到運用簡潔清晰恰當?shù)睦?，推理論證你持有的觀點。

考查重點

SAT作文主要考察的是考生在一定時間內(nèi)就某個特定話題給出觀點并用各種具體論證手段加以支持分析的能力，不要偏題是基本要求。

我們可以看出SAT寫作與其他留學寫作考試(如新托福)的定位非常不同。新托福是語言能力測試，而SAT作為入學考試，更注重考察一個學生的邏輯推理能力，要求學生的論證嚴密、有效、有力。因此不建議考生把TOEFL寫作的那套東西搬來用于SAT寫作上，想取得高分必須區(qū)別復習。時間分配

SAT作文考試是為時25分鐘的限時寫作，但作文的字數(shù)沒有硬性規(guī)定。有些考生疑惑究竟應該寫多長?

如果我們參照官方提供的樣卷，會發(fā)現(xiàn)6分的作文需填滿一頁半A4紙，基本等同于400字數(shù)。在短短25分鐘內(nèi)，要圍繞一個題目寫一篇不少于400字的有水平的essay，對于母語非英語，特別是沒接受過大學英語教育的考生來說是很有難度的。

如何合理分配25分鐘?有些考生第一個section開始10分鐘后還在思考，也有考生到了最后時刻還沒收尾。

建議考生采用三步走的方法：

1.讀題構思寫綱要：

保持在2-4分鐘，最多不要超過5分鐘。一定要仔細耐心地讀清楚prompt和assign-ment，構思時最好簡單記下你想表達的中心思想和打算使用的例子，選2-3個例子為宜，并且想好如何把文章有邏輯地“串”起來。

2.書寫作文：

真正的寫作時間有一刻鐘左右。按照構思的規(guī)劃作文，同時關注詞匯和句型的多樣性，避免用詞不當。

3.復查：

保持在4分鐘左右。寫完初稿后，建議至少留2分鐘復讀一遍。這個環(huán)節(jié)非常重要，一定不能省掉。首先通讀，檢查觀點陳述是否清晰、論據(jù)是否直接證 明論點、論據(jù)是否有效效展開、論據(jù)過渡是否順暢、句子表達是否清楚等。之后再花少部分時間來檢查語法，著重注意一下時態(tài)、主謂一致、代詞使用和標點符號等。

第三篇：SAT學習心得

sat閱讀滿分學習心得分享

作為普通高中學生，我在準備sat前的英語水平是遠遠不夠出國的，但經(jīng)過一年的準備后，我最終考出了閱讀800的分數(shù)。這讓我相信，無論任何基礎，只要踏踏實實準備sat，最

終都會有一個不錯的結果。接下來我就分享些關于sat閱讀的個人心得。a.單詞

建議英語基礎非常薄弱的同學(例如普高黨)，先補上英語四級的基礎詞匯，然后再背針對

sat閱讀的高級詞匯。我當時完整背完的sat詞匯書就是一本巴朗3500，但我發(fā)現(xiàn)書上

很多定義并不準確或不完整，所以我自己參考了webster dictionary和new oxford american dictionary(用macbook的同學可以在電腦里找到這個字典)上的注釋，給所有

巴朗詞匯重新定義，用excel做成字典。這種死記硬背確實是絕大多數(shù)人的難題，我采用的

方法是寫成單詞卡片，隨機抽選著背，此外，我還利用同義詞詞典將數(shù)個單詞放在一起背，也會起到較好的效果。因為是死記，所以單詞的遺忘率很高，一定要在背完后參考遺忘曲線

反復復習，否則都是無用功。除了背單詞書，我還把做過的所有真題中的生詞都找出來，做

了單詞表。我發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣做有兩個好處：一.真題中的填空詞重復率非常高，在背完所有真題

中國的填空詞后，我的填空題幾乎再沒錯過。二.因為基礎薄弱，一開始閱讀中我有許多小

詞不認識，但積累了一段時間后很多基礎詞就都認識了，很好的彌補了我的低起點，而且在

閱讀中記詞比死記硬背的效果好得多。如果離備考時間已經(jīng)很近，來不及背大量單詞，建議

先把真題中的填空詞背了，以及看direct hits的vocabulary book或者巴朗高頻詞。b.做題

我當時做真題的順序是og、歷年考題(注意04年及以前的改革前的舊題可以在網(wǎng)上找到，雖說題型略有不同，但難度比05年以后更大，可以提高閱讀水平)和oc。我當時將題目前

后刷了三遍，第一遍最仔細，力求文章中的每句話都理解，每道題都弄懂，我認為在這個階

段能有個老師/學姐學長幫助你將看不懂的一一解決，并帶著精讀一些較難的文章，效果就

很好。接下來的第二、第三遍就基本靠自己做題和反思，培養(yǎng)出題感。有些浮躁的同學為了

追求速度，做完題就了事，不求甚解，這樣即使做很多遍也不會有成效，相反的，沉下心來

踏踏實實分析題目和文章，我相信不出幾次就會有顯著的提高。此外，有些機構和老師會吹

噓各種做題技巧，但我認為那些都是虛的，不能幫你拿到高分，我個人從未看過解題技巧總

結。要想拿到高分，只能靠真正的提高自己的閱讀水平，并且通過多做題找到題感。我的做

題習慣是先將文章通讀一遍，再做題，個人認為sat閱讀最好不要讀一段寫幾道題(toefl 閱讀完全可以這么做)，因為有很多題目會考你對文章的整體把握，所以要有足夠快的閱讀

速度。

c.課外閱讀

課外閱讀自然是提高閱讀水平的有效方式。小說方面，推薦簡單一些的課外書有《to kill a mocking bird 》《animal farm》《never let me go》，難一點的有《1984》《the great gatsby》《the moon and sixpence》《tess》等各種名著。散文方面，推薦alain de botton 的書(他的散文曾被收入真題中)和thoreau的《walden》，以及歐美的很多大家都有著名

散文，例如e.b.white，virginia woolf和russell。雜志方面，推薦times, new york times，the economist之類的。d.機構

這個我沒有發(fā)言權，因為我當初是找了家教和學姐的一對一幫助。但sat閱讀這件事，師傅領進門，修行在個人，最主要還是靠自己的努力。外面很多機構都挺水的，選擇時一定

要小心，多問問懂內(nèi)幕的熟人，否則很容易被坑。e.機經(jīng)

因為2016年sat要改革，改革前的這段時間內(nèi)舊題重復率高，很多人用機經(jīng)獲得了高 分，中國社會的浮躁可見一斑。暫且不談誠信問題，即使高分將你送入了名校，可沒有英語

能力的你如何在名校嚴苛的學術氛圍中存活下來?用機經(jīng)逞一時的小聰明，將來gpa過低甚

至被退學將讓你后悔莫及。請對自己負責，珍愛生命，遠離機經(jīng)。篇二：sat學習心得：閱讀800靠腳踏實地點滴積累 sat學習心得：閱讀800靠腳踏實地點滴積累

今天太傻留學小編給正在備考的考生們整理了一篇通過自己的不斷努力取得sat閱讀滿分的sat學習心得文章，正如筆者所說，無論任何基礎，只要腳踏實地去準備，就有拿高分、滿分的可能，下面我們一起來看看這位考生的sat學習心得吧!作為普通高中學生，我在準備sat（/retype/zoom/e0b5aba13968011ca200911d?pn=2&x=0&y=1268&raww=1152&rawh=89&o=png_6_0_0_135_65_622_48_892.979_1262.879&type=pic&aimh=37.***&md5sum=c146bb322fc3b2ac1582928af3313039&sign=faa5c66fd3&zoom=&png=26051-&jpg=0-0“ target=”_blank">點此查看

為了追求速度，做完題就了事，不求甚解，這樣即使做很多遍也不會有成效，相反的，沉下心來踏踏實實分析題目和文章，我相信不出幾次就會有顯著的提高。此外，有些老師會吹噓各種做題技巧，但我認為那些都是虛的，不能幫你拿到高分，我個人從未看過解題技巧總結。要想拿到高分，只能靠真正的提高自己的閱讀水平，并且通過多做題找到題感。我的做題習慣是先將文章通讀一遍，再做題，個人認為sat閱讀最好不要讀一段寫幾道題(toefl閱讀完全可以這么做)，因為有很多題目會考你對文章的整體把握，所以要有足夠快的閱讀速度。c.機經(jīng)

因為2016年sat要改革，改革前的這段時間內(nèi)舊題重復率高，很多人用機經(jīng)獲得了高分，中國社會的浮躁可見一斑。暫且不談誠信問題，即使高分將你送入了名校，可沒有英語能力的你如何在名校嚴苛的學術氛圍中存活下來?用機經(jīng)逞一時的小聰明，將來gpa過低甚至被退學將讓你后悔莫及。請對自己負責，珍愛生命，遠離機經(jīng)。d.課外閱讀

課外閱讀自然是提高閱讀水平的有效方式。小說方面，推薦簡單一些的課外書有《to kill a mocking bird 》《animal farm》《never let me go》，難一點的有《1984》《the great gatsby》《the moon and sixpence》《tess》等各種名著。散文方面，推薦alain de botton的書(他的散文曾被收入真題中)和thoreau的《walden》，以及歐美的很多大家都有著名散文，例如e.b.white，virginia woolf和russell。雜志方面，推薦times, new york times，the economist之類的。

以上文章為大家提供了拿到sat閱讀高分考生的sat學習經(jīng)驗分享，希望能夠給正在備考的你一定的借鑒意義，語言考試不能只靠技巧，還需自己的日積月累踏踏實實掌握應試技能，只有雙管齊下才能考出高分，太傻sat考試頻道?？忌鷤儌淇柬樌?，早日取得高分!3月北美sat備考心得 2-3月份春節(jié)期間在美國出差，在紐約家中呆著無聊，就報名了一次3月的sat考試。主要目的有兩個： 1.很多在美國讀高中的學生上我們的sat培訓，希望我們對北美題和考試經(jīng)歷進行分析，以便給他們更好的指導;2.去年5月份香港考試，我2270分，閱讀690，很多同行和學生都說我應該不止這個實力。我說我至少應該2300分吧。很多我們的學生都比我分數(shù)高。我重新測試一個復習方法。3.我想證明sat考試是基礎和強化都重要的。

順便說一下，成人考生在香港有單獨的考場，在美國通常是坐在考場第一排，還是很榮幸的。一個上午考下來腰酸背疼，我35歲高齡考試，監(jiān)考的黑人大媽還給了我一瓶礦泉水。還是美國的考試貼心。大媽問我為什么來考試，我說教育改變命運，我要向奧巴馬總統(tǒng)學習上哈佛法學院。

美國的sat和亞洲的差別不大，作文和閱讀稍微難一些。見過北美題的都知道，最后一個作文題是給亞洲的，比較簡單。美國作文稍微難一些，閱讀也難一些。據(jù)說某些北美題亞洲會重復考，因此亞洲學生有些投機可以高分。我這次去考試不是為了偷題給學生以后亞洲考試準備，也不在乎這個。

長話短說。這次結果基本滿意，閱讀720，數(shù)學780，寫作790。總分2290.其實我主要是去考閱讀，其他兩項上次數(shù)學780，寫作800，沒啥需要再證明的了。作文： whether looking at the big picture is more important than the minute details。就是問大局觀和細節(jié)哪個重要。我說的是細節(jié)重要。

關于寫作，我的建議是，不要去看老師們給的模板和例子。要有自己的例子，至少也要改寫一下相同的例子。我去香港考試，看到很多中國的孩子，都在背誦什么jack welch和sony ericsson的例子。我們時代焦點的雷靜老師，2012年10月sat寫作800，作文12分，她的學生很多也是11分和12分，原因就是一定要學生寫自己獨特的例子。sat作文，我覺得，文學類的和歷史類的例子含金量相對高，比近代的例子顯得有深度。

寫作很多同學的誤區(qū)是：背誦例子。這個是保證得低分的終南捷徑。例子可以重復，但是組織結構，如何扣題，就是說例子為什么相關更加重要。而且如何長短句結合，變化句式，是非常重要的。此外如何扣題，點題，我覺得中國的老師都缺乏。

另外，寫作提高，需要把自己的作文，找老師修改到12分，這樣幾個來回，就找到感覺了。我覺得這個是重要的。寫作可以突擊，也有技巧，但是不是背誦案例，而是找到好的老師，好的參考書，還有修改。寫作文，臨場時候，我覺得可以寫作文用兩支鉛筆。填表之后，通常筆會變粗，這樣字容易占篇幅，是閱卷人不喜歡的。作文如果寫一半，筆變粗，就馬上換另外一支筆。我建議，作文兩面，每一面一支筆。

篇幅我建議盡量寫滿，至少一頁半要再多幾行。大家可以看看雷靜老師的12分作文。關于例子，我推薦2個或者3個。我覺得3個例子是北美流行的方法，加上開頭結尾總共5段，更好。兩個例子有些少，而且有些黔驢技窮的感覺。3個例子游刃有余，也不會有堆砌辭藻和例子的生硬感覺。

參考書方面，美國最流行的就是killer sat essays。下面是亞馬遜網(wǎng)上書店截圖，它的評分最高，里面有大量學生范文，都是12分的。美國最好的sat作文書。我花重金從美國購買了這本書的版權，中文名字叫做《sat滿分作文集萃 秒殺sat作文攻略》，我們就原版引進了。沒有添加太多內(nèi)容?，F(xiàn)在當當網(wǎng)快有賣了，而且便宜，就是為了造福大家。

詞匯我覺得，barron 3500已經(jīng)過時了。很多解釋都是錯的，而且呢，很多詞也不?？肌１热鏰gnostic這個詞，sat考察的不是“無神論者”，而是“沒有傾向性和依賴性的”。direct hits 1,2兩本書很好，所有有價值的單詞我都收錄到了《sat高頻詞匯完全分類》。我是真的一邊準備sat，一邊編寫這本書，絕對是第一手的資料。這本書收錄了direct hits 1,2全部詞匯，并總結了大量中國學生咬不準的熟詞僻意，比如check:阻止;currency:支持，主流;afford:提供(而不是負擔得起)等等。所以讀了我的sat高頻詞匯的就沒有必要再看direct hits了，比direct hits全，而且放了最近10年的真題詞匯。我們很多2250+的學生都是用這本書準備的。

最關鍵的是，這本書背起來不會枯燥，不是清一色地都是從a開頭以z結尾的單詞排列，而且列上且僅列上了sat考察意思。絕對是幫助大家“省時間地“背單詞。什么是創(chuàng)新的背單詞的方法，讀了就知道啦。

還有這本詞匯書讓你快速切入sat?？家馑?，并對市面詞匯書的一些錯誤的解釋做了一一的修正。

在這次sat考試中，有個別詞看著眼熟，但是有時候咬不準。這種情況總會出現(xiàn)，但是難詞基本我的詞匯書都收錄到了。這種情況下，要用充分必要判斷法。不認識的單詞先假定可以做正確選項或者錯誤選項，如果其他4個選項單詞認識，并且一定不正確，再選擇這個不認識的單詞。

再說語法。語法我一次790，一次800。我建議的復習方法如下： 1.1.基礎差的同學，找老師一對一梳理一次知識點，系統(tǒng)地查缺補漏。2.2.基礎好的同學，把所有錯過的題，找老師答疑一次。3.3.所有同學，把錯過的題嗎，手機拍攝下來，坐車和吃飯時候看。

我這么大年齡了，每次幾乎都滿分，就是每次考試前，看看手機，?？嫉木湍敲炊嘀R點。注意： 1.1.不要硬挑錯，很多題是正確的，選擇e.2.2.如果看到一個不順眼，堅持看完全文，有可能有更大的錯誤，比如單復數(shù)、時態(tài)等。不順眼不一定就是錯誤的。

最后說閱讀，我覺得閱讀，好比收音機調(diào)頻。650以上的學生，都有實力考700，因為他們做題，文章基本可以看懂，就是題目方面把握不好。sat和托福不同，不是選擇正確選項，而是選擇最佳。通常這樣的學生，要在2選1時候，糾結。單純做題已經(jīng)解決不了他們的問題了。

這個時候，我建議，最新題目考前做1-2遍可以了。需要閱讀考試之外的經(jīng)典文章，然后提高實力，提高精讀能力。這里，學生應該根據(jù)自己的弱項，比如文學類、雙篇文章還是理科的文章，進行有的放矢的彌補。2012年暑假，我給實驗中學熊同學和北京四中的吳同學和幾個國外的學生開了一個小班，就是用sat出題的文章，找到出處，精選了21篇考察過的文章或者?？嫉谋尘爸R，從黑人文學到英美當代作品，到議論文，比如記憶的扭曲等等進行精讀，最后他們都考了2250以上。兩個閱讀700+。后來我索性把這些文章出了一本書，《sat閱讀真經(jīng)21篇》現(xiàn)在還沒有出版，只做內(nèi)部教材，現(xiàn)有這本書的精簡版，感興趣的家長同學，歡迎私信給我，我線下可以發(fā)給你們。sat閱讀的文章之難處之一，就是讓讀者突然感覺“沒頭沒尾”地出現(xiàn)一段文字，考生不知道上下文的大背景和來龍去脈，但是要硬著頭皮去“管中窺豹”一樣迅速進入狀 態(tài)，不僅僅要理解文章的意思，還要揣摩作者的態(tài)度。這種“切片”式的文章就好比在萬花筒中抽取一個切面，讓讀者迅速理解和分析。這個好比讓你和一個陌生人 迅速進入狀態(tài)，進行交流，還是蠻難的。很多同學看到不熟悉的文章就懵了。如何突破，我以后會每次總結給大家。最后說數(shù)學。數(shù)學是一定要拿高分的。也是中國學生的長項。不能掉以輕心。

總結一下，sat確實需要長期準備，但是考前沖刺非常重要。很多比如語法和寫作的臨陣磨槍非常重要。閱讀實力重要，狀態(tài)調(diào)整也重要。對《sat閱讀真經(jīng)》有興趣而且想考高分的，可以私信我，我會免費發(fā)給大家。

作文是考試第一項，看看killer sat essay這個美國最暢銷書非常有幫助。詞匯需要慢慢積累?？贾?周要把《sat高頻詞匯完全分類》的前200頁詞匯每兩天刷一遍。

最后我不建議做非真題的普林斯頓這些題。oc可以做。單純刷題沒有用，尤其是閱讀。多看小說和議論文最最重要。5月份、6月份我都會去香港，我們有考團，也有沖刺班。需要報名考團或者想試聽課程的都可以找我們，我們都會一一滿足大家。

分享主角：鄭州新東方sat學員張競凡

學習課程：鄭州新東方sat培訓班

收獲成績：sat突破2080分 sat成績分享——2080分

當我準備接觸sat的時候，竟然天真的以為它的難度和托福差不多，和原來一樣吊兒郎當學兩天玩三天的狀態(tài)就可以拿到比較滿意的成績，但是我第一次翻開official guide看到詞匯題的時候整個人都傻眼了，十個單詞有九個都不認識，簡直是壓力山大。后來經(jīng)過了更深入的了解，意識到想要真正考好sat需要更大的詞匯量，更強的理解能力和更快的做題速度。

關鍵詞：閱讀——詞匯量

接觸sat 后最深刻的感受就是詞匯量完全不夠用，而閱讀題里包含的詞匯填空也是高分的關鍵。我不是很喜歡抱著單詞書一個勁的背，而且記憶效率也很低，所以我開始了廣泛的總結詞匯。在做完每套題之后都要把所有的生詞都畫出來并且謄到本子上，有閑時間就翻出來看看。其實每次看自己的本就會發(fā)現(xiàn)常出現(xiàn)的單詞總結了很多遍，這就是說明下的功夫不夠大。多做題后就會有厚厚的一本詞匯，常常復習就會有長足的進步。

關鍵詞：語法——刷題、總結

語法題就是要靠大量的刷題和總結，通過積累來一點點進步。同時掌握到考試的規(guī)律會省很多的時間和精力。.關鍵詞：寫作——案例儲備 sat寫作要保證自己有豐富的例子，并且熟練掌握，這樣在短短的25分鐘里可以切題的寫出自己的論點和論據(jù)。

關鍵詞：題庫——抓重點、答題點 對sat題庫的分析也很重要，抓住重點，找到最好的答題點以及例子的切入點才能得到高分。

《閱讀很重要》

The vicissitude of history never fails to amaze us with all the changes it has brought to human life.If we trace back to see what has been changed since human civilization, seldom can we see anything that remains intact, with only one exception-the importance of reading.Despite the fact that reading has never dropped from our top priorities, few people keep the habit of it.As a reaction to such pathetic phenomenon, writer Frank Bruni draws people’s attention back to reading and encourages people to value it.Strategies he employs include contrast, credible reference and tactic reasoning that appeal to people’s emotion and agreement.One impressive feature of this article is Bruni’s contrast at the very beginning to introduce his topic, with the next paragraphs addressing its benefits.He compares things that he always ignores such as nephew’s birthday and niece’s school production with things he never fails to overlook-reading.For the majority of people, especially teenagers, birthday party and school performance are events that family members should remember.Unfortunately, this is not the case for the author.Reading at this point, readers are left a bit disappointed at the author and tend to pay more attention to what he wants to convey next.At the cusp of people’三立教育004km.cn

s attention, author Bruni brings about something that deserves greater emphasis-reading: “I’m incessantly asking my nephews and nieces what they’re reading and why they’re not reading more.” Thus the readers start to realize how justifiable the author is-as nothing like a birthday party or a performance in school is comparable with the importance of reading.With the utilization of this contrast, the author successfully draws the attention from the readers and lays a solid foundation for his later argument.Aside from this, the author’s careful choice of evidence adds credibility to the article.He cites properly a report by Common Sense Media, claiming that three is a sharp decline in the percentage of teenagers read for fun “fewer than 20 percent of 17-year-olds now read for pleasure”.At the same time, however, the number of the young who hardly ever read or never read for pleasure elevates from “only 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds” 30 years ago to “22 percent of 13-year-olds and 27 percent of 17-year-olds “ today.This worrisome report indicates that the young no longer read as much as they used to.Linked with the previous paragraphs, the author urges the reader to weight the disadvantage of such trend and possibly spurs some kind of response.Besides, the inclusion of an authoritative agency backs up Bruni’s point, makes the work of Bruni believable and credible.The most exquisite technique of the passage, however, is its elaborate reasoning.From paragraph 8 to 15, the author lists all the possible benefits of reading to add weight to the persuasiveness of the article.He starts from how 三立教育004km.cn

reading benefit the brain in paragraph 8, that interviews indicate a symbiotic relationship between reading and intelligence.Paragraph 9 follows with a benefit to the qualities required to success, because those people who read are more adept at “ reading people” and “sizing up the social whirl around them”.If these benefits are not enough, in paragraph 10, 11, 12 and 13, the author compares reading with exposure to technological devices to indicate how reading would benefit the spirit.One obvious benefit reading offers to the spirit is that reading smoothens people “with thoughts less jumbled, moods less jangled”.The other benefit to spirit is that reading grants people “the ability to focus and concentrate”, which becomes a social corrective to “metabolism and sensory overload of digital technology”, because those who indulge themselves in technology requires something to force them to be focused and have delayed gratification.Finally, in paragraph 14 and 15, Bruni talks about the joy of reading: as the connection reading can provide to people is not anything like watching a movie is able to offer.In order to prove the zealous love people possess for reading, he sites the line from the protagonist in a famous love story that “You read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.” People love reading want to share the zeal for it, because only those who read can feel the same addiction.All these are connected well to elaborate the value of reading to not only people’s brain and success, but also spirit and gratification.The combination of all these paragraphs provides the readers with a chance to see the 三立教育004km.cn

well-rounded and multi-layer benefits of reading, surely help the reader to deliver his idea.All in all, the evidence and source make the reader’s idea worthy of recognition, and the tactical reasoning appeals to people’s emotion and trust.These writing techniques contribute to a well-structured and compelling argument that reading deserves more attention and emphasis.以上相關信息由三立在線為你提供，希望閱讀完以上文章后，你能有所收獲，對學習有一定的幫助，更多資訊請訪問三立在線，專業(yè)老師為你指導講解相關疑惑，為你的考試之路保駕護航。
