SAT写作法则及实例:避免使用俚语
SAT的写作考试,要求的是一篇有专业性的写作,而不是一篇日记或随笔。所以使用俚语不应该在SAT的考试中出现。例如,在高考的时候,考生把我要去写成俺要去加有地方方言的语言方式。
下面让我们通过英文的例子来说明;
例1;Brians mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test.
Improved: Brians mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test.
同样的,考生在写作的时候,也应该尽量避免太多学术性强的语言。批卷的老师很有可能并不想你一样是个电脑高手。他或她可能只明白一些初级的电脑词汇,对于那些技术性强的词汇,可以一窍不通。下面让我们通过英文的例子来说明;
例2;Close-support, transport, and reconnaissance assistance is provided by the S-3X helicopter, which is the most cost effective in a crane configuration.
Improved: The S-3X helicopter provides support, transportation, and reconnaissance. However, the helicopter is most cost effective when it works as a crane.
