的SAT写作范文：

1、Do we need other people in order to understand ourselves?　　Most parents and teachers tell students the extremely tired cliché of the consequences of following the crowd. It is said that, in order to be a competely individual thinker, one must ignore what others say. Such advice is certainly true to some extent; unreasonable malice must be forgotten in order to keep some level of self-esteem. However, as with most ideas, this one can not be taken in absolute form. In at least some respects, we need other people in order to understand ourselves.

An excellent example of a literary character who could have psychologically benefitted from social interaction is J. Alfred Prufrock from T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In the poem, Prufrck desires a relationship with a woman very much, but he refrains from initiating conversation because he fears that he could not hold the interest of a sophisticated lady. Should Prufrock have taken the step to accept other people into his life, he most likely would have discovered, as the reader of the poem certainly did, that he is most articulate. Others would have impressed upon him the beauty of his words and his talent for prose. If Prufrock would have spoken his song a loud, the ladies surely would have shown him what he himself did not understand. Since the ladies would reveal Prufrock’s talents to him, it is true that we need others in order to understand ourselves.

The lesson of learning from other’s opinions of yourself extends much farther than the song of a fictional character. Two days ago, in an art class, my group of students had assigned self portraits due. Most of us brought in photographs of ourselves. Nevertheless, one boy brought nothing and handed us all slips of paper. He told us to write a word to describe him, and when we had done so, he pasted the words on a poster. This must have been a revealing exercise for him because, upon the sight of such descriptions as “bitter” and “sarcastic”, he was shocked. In the case of this boy, he had not realized how his personality appeared to others. Though he might not have thought himself “bitter”, his friend’s comments certainly made him seem that way. The fact that we need others in order to understand ourselves is clearly shown by this boy’s revelation

3、Is conscience a more powerful motivator than money, fame, or power?

As society toils onward into its dreams of the future, the progress that accompanies this movement may be tainted by individual motives of avarice. However, as seen in various fields such as art, history, and science, the human conscience will limit the motivation of greed and inspire good works for the sake of morality. One’s sense of right and wrong forever impels one to be a decent, thoughtful person.

Such people widely populate the idealistic field of literature. Though novels may be rife with villainous, self-serving characters, only the heroic and moral personas emerge triumphant. For example, the well-known literary character Huckleberry Finn, from Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, rescinds his claim to a sizable fortune if possessing such wealth would diminish his safety. Furthermore, Huck will risk himself to ensure the security of his close comrade Jim. His loyalty, a facet of one’s conscience, compels him to sacrifice his safety to ensure the well-being of others, which is more than money has accomplished in motivating Huck. Thus, a person, however fictional, considers the rewards of acting on conscience to be more fruitful than to be possessed by greed.

Although such characters are fictional, the same motives of charity and morality have inspired numerous people in history to set aside their desires. Lyndon B. Johnson, Former President of the United States, pushed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through Congress motivated by conscience and a desire to correct the immorality of racism in society. Though some Senators stridently opposed such a bill, the power of motivation by conscience impassioned Johnson to strive even harder to remain loyal to the American precepts of equality. Such is fruition of conscientious actions.

Though the great figures of history seem out of reach in their stature, as an individual I am faced with moral dilemmas rather often. For example, I have been offered more weighty positions on the newspaper, but as a rule, I have always refused when there was someone better qualified than I. Consequently, their talents result in a more improved issue, thereby increasing the benefit for all.

There in lies the reason why we are compelled by conscience. Money, fame and power are fleeting and insubstantial, for they can never mend the integrity sacrificed to obtain them. It is only when we act in the name of what is right that all of our possible talents may benefit ourselves, our peers, and our ideals

SAT写作介绍与技巧：

SAT作文题包括两部分内容，Part I为议论文写作，Part II为多项选择。

Part I：议论文Thesis写作。25分钟的限时作文，SAT作文无字数要求，不过你的作文内容需要充满约A4的一半大小的纸，通常字数为450-600字的样子，当然也可能更多。SAT写作话题不需要专业知识，其话题涉及范围广，例如时政、竞赛、科技、体育、文学等。SAT作文的每一个话题可能不只一个正确论点，因为SAT的作文主要测试考生针对特定话题进行展开论述而不跑题的能力、学生的限时作文能力和针对某一具体话题给出观点并展开分析和论述的能力。SAT写作文体可以是记叙文，说明文或议论文，这篇Thesis被称作“初稿”，“初稿”中不严重影响理解的语法或拼写错误通常被认作笔误。

Part II：Multiple choice多项选择。答题时间35分钟。多项选择包括三种类型，Identifying Sentence Errors(句子纠错，共18道)，Improving Sentences(句子改进，共25道)和Improving Paragraphs(段落改进，共6道)。Identifying Sentence Errors其实是单项选择题，语法难度不大，可以快速完成; Improving Sentences主要考察考生对句子的理解能力并能够使用精确简洁清晰的句子表达，难度也不大; Improving Paragraphs主要考察学生对段落篇章的整体把握，从句子的构成上对段落实施改进，一般做法是通读整个段落，联系上下文理清前后逻辑关系等，通览所有选项以选择答案，这个测试类型相对来讲比较花时间，建议考生在考前多进行相关模拟训练。

SAT的写作部分内容主要考查考生从语法到修辞手法的表现能力及考生观点论述的能力，所以平时一定要多读英美文章和范文，培养自己准确运用语法和例证的能力，熟能生巧，练习得多了，到了真正考试的时候才能够应付自如。
