如果把SAT作文題目按照數學中橫豎坐標的方法分解開來,我們就可以看到:
縱坐標→Background of Assignment:
橫坐標→Methods of Developing
斜坐標→Expression
以上的坐標就是SAT寫作的題目坐標,SAT寫作中的每一個題目都有相應的背景,如果我們能從這個背景出發,然后再去討論為什么考官要出這個題 目,那么,我們就會很容易地思考和切入題目然后展開論述過程。以這樣的方法進行一段時間后,學生便會形成一定思維方式——立體化的寫作思維。這將對學生準 備SAT寫作考試用著非常重要幫助作用。
下面,我們就來詳細地解釋和運用一下這個寫作坐標:
Assignment: Do closed doors make us creative?
First of all, it is necessary for us to discuss the background of this issue. Why do test makers create this assignment? Does this assignment widely discussed among American people? The answer is definitely YES. Actually, creation is a mystery to most people, as they probably do not understand why others around them are so creative. They eventually put those “creative people” into a box which is locked and isolated from the living world as they are. Therefore, quite a lot of people believe that genius who makes so many creations must live in closed doors and they never ever come to connect the outer world. Thus, “closed doors make us creative” comes to be an existence. .
以上的內容就是關于這個題目的背景分析。通過這個分析,我們可以得到以下的解題過程:
Statement: YES
Closed doors provide people an individual space to think about their unique ideas, no disturbance, no interruption, and people could freely run with their thoughts and minds→makes people creative
E.X.: Albert Einstein→the Theory of Relativity was accomplished within Einstein’s closed door for a couple of weeks.
Closed doors offer people a period of time for which they could use for thinking about them→to analyze their own strange ideas, and to make them come true→creation comes out→make people creative
E.X.: Philosophers like Hegel, needed a period of private time for him to think about all his minds and thoughts, and as a consequence, his theory of philosophy became one of the fundamental for his followers to create more branches of philosophy → closed door offers them an relative isolated period of time → makes people creative
Assignment: Do people learn who they are only when they are forced into action?
First of all, we need to analyze the background of this issue. I still remember that, twenty years ago, students like me would have to give out a class presentation at the class. Though this part of performance would not take up the property of the final evaluation on students, we needed to do it still. Most students would be shy and dare to give out their presentations. However, after the teachers forced them to do so, they suddenly found that they actually owned this ability, but they did not even know before. Therefore, people need to be forced in action so that they could know who they are, what potentials they have.
以上的是對于這個題目的背景分析,通過這個分析,我們可以得到以下的解題過程:
Statement: YES
People would not know what they own actually unless they are forced to do something → helps them to know themselves
E.X.: Personal experience
→Pressure motivates people to discover their potential → people’s performance will be different if they are under the pressure.
E.X.: the main actor of 2012 would never believe that he could dive for a long time so that he was capable to solve that problem. However, as long as the emergency happened, he was forced to save the life of his family. He finally found that he could make it.
