SSAT写作
1.题型
SSAT作文题目主要分为三大类:
谚语(proverb)、陈述(statement)及开放性问题(openquestion)。
三类题目举例如下:
谚语类举例:
Topic:
Practicemakesperfect.
Assignment:

陈述类举例:
Topic:
Studentsshouldwearuniformstoschool.
Assignment:
Doyouagreeordisagreewiththetopicstatement?
Supportyourpositionwithoneortwospecificexamplesfromyourownexperience,theexperienceofothers,currentevents,history,orliterature.
开放性问题举例1:
IfIcouldvisitanothercity,Iwouldchoose…
开放性问题举例2:
Howcanwehelptheelderlyinourcommunity?
谚语与陈述类话题类似,题目由两部分组成:
topic和assignment,写作要求为:
针对话题表明态度(agreeordisagree);然后采用1-2个具体的例子支持观点,例子来源于考生自己的生活经验、他人的生活经验、时事、历史以及文学。
开放性问题类型较为多样,通常有两种模式:
1.给出一个不完整的句子,让考生将该句话补充完整,并作为文章的开头继续写下去;2.给出一个问题让考生回答。
