SAT考試作為美國的高考已經成為中國學生申請美國大學的敲門磚。為了進入一個好的大學，他們必須拿到一個好的分數。然而，SAT考試的第一個 task寫作就給中國學生設置了一個障礙。眾所周知，寫作，不管是SAT寫作、GRE寫作還是TOEFL寫作，一直以來都是中國學生的一個弱項。(中國考生的GRE寫作平均分在3.2左右，滿分6分;托福寫作平均分20分，滿分30分)

　　那么如何才能取得一個寫作高分呢?首先我們需要研究一下SAT作文的評分標準。

　　一、邏輯分

　　SAT寫作6分標準里第一個項目是這樣說的effectively and insightfully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriate examples, reasons and other evidence to support its position.從這里我們可以看到，SAT滿分標準最強調和重視的是眾考生的邏輯思維以及他們對特定事物的思辨性的考慮。Insight是指大家對事物深入而深刻的看法，中文可以理解成洞察力。Critical thinking則是辯證性的思考。Using clearly appropriate examples, reasons and other evidence to support its position是要大家用例子，理由或者其他證據去證明自己的觀點。需要注意的是在例子、理由和證據前面有一個clearly，也就是說考官的要求是要大家清晰的表達自己的看法。這個清晰其實就是強調大家的一種邏輯性。例子理由要與你的觀點密切相關。例子理由如何支撐文章的觀點要非常清晰的得以體現。

　　我們來看一篇學生習作的開頭段：In our world, truth and lie exist in a way the same as that of the black and white. Its obviously for us to see that one of them is opposite to the other. So many people think directly that they are not same at all. But in fact, they are the same things in the whole, because both of them are little parts compared to the integration. Their function is to make the integration execute fluently and effective, which can benefit more people. So my idea is that truth or lie is just a kind of formation. What determines our choice is the result can really help people rather than tangle with the apparent formation.

　　學生習作的題目是Do circumstances determine whether or not people should tell the truth。我們看到上面的習作中有一些邏輯連接詞so，but，because等。明顯的，在這一段中，學生的邏輯非常混亂?？吹降谝粋€批注中的內容： 注意此處的邏輯關系。明顯的他們有區別，但是，一些人注意是轉折應該用however或者but等。但是，再接著看到后面一句你用的but，也就是說前面不能用轉折關系了，要改用although的讓步關系。而且，后面解釋的時候已經表達了第一段第二句的意思，所以建議刪掉第二句話。(該段落的其他問題見旁邊的批注)

　　再來看一下學生根據修改意見修改后的開頭段：In our world, truth and lie exist in a way the same as that of the black and white. So many people consider that they are not the same at all. In fact, both of them are parts of the integration. That is, they are the same things. And the reason of their existence is that it can supply more ways for people to release their emotion. As far as I am concerned, I vote that people dont have to always tell the truth, because sometimes it can hurt people, whom maybe you would have helped. 修改后的內容在表達上清晰了許多。
