一直以來,ACT考試寫作部分都是很多同學(xué)們比較擔(dān)憂的內(nèi)容,那么究竟該如何合理、思路清晰的應(yīng)對ACT考試寫作題目呢?下面A+國際教育小編就以2015年12月亞洲卷的一道寫作題為例,來為大家解析ACT考試寫作部分的解題思路,一起來了解一下吧!
1.2015年12月12日亞洲卷寫作真題
Researchers claim that ittakes 10,000 hours of practicing to truly master a complex skill.That's theequivalent of practicing something---a musical instrument,asecond language,a sport---for eight hours every day for three and a halfyears.Given the required level of commitment and effort,it is worthconsidering the value of mastering a complex skill.
Perspective One
Dedication to a goalgives purpose and order to life.The determination and persistence requiredshape us into strong people and are rewards in themselves.
Perspective Two
Mastering a skill may beworth effort for someone,but most people need variety and fun in their lives.It's important to be a well-rounded and relaxed person.
Perspective Three
Find something you aregood at and stick with it.By default,you will achieve mastery.It will notrequire special character and effort.
2.寫作思路解析
考試之前我跟同學(xué)們講過,在考場上遇見你不熟悉的話題并不可怕,可怕的是曾經(jīng)有一堆來自題目的信息擺在你面前,已經(jīng)足夠你寫一篇作文,你卻不知道挖掘并且利用哪些信息。在正式分析這道熱氣騰騰的真題之前,先說幾個同學(xué)們在考場上或者平時寫作文時可能出現(xiàn)的思維盲區(qū),看看你們有沒有中槍
一.讀作文題,你真的在“讀”嗎?
讀作文題,是用筆畫出關(guān)鍵信息,找出brainstorming的著眼點,回應(yīng)perspective的突破口的,你就帶了兩只水汪汪的大眼睛盯著試題,讀完題目無異于走馬觀花—----抓不住關(guān)鍵信息,或者它們像煙花一樣在你的大腦里一閃而逝,引起不了你的高度重視。接下來我要問問你了,你有沒有注意標(biāo)題是什么,清楚你這篇寫作的分析對象?你有沒有畫出題目第一段的關(guān)鍵名詞,這些名詞是可能并且可以用到你自己寫作中的免費例子?你有沒有找出issue在哪,知道你要分析的問題是啥?你有沒有明確p1p2p3的觀點情感傾向,并畫出你認(rèn)為重要的關(guān)鍵詞?
如果讀完如上問題你已變身撥浪鼓,那么你的這篇作文有可能出現(xiàn)以下幾個問題:寫跑題;對題目給的觀點沒理解什么意思;實在想不出例子也不知道該怎么辦。所以以上幾個問題,大家在讀題時候,一定要引以重視,因為它們可以對我們的論證給予非常多的提示和足夠多的引領(lǐng)。
二.究竟如何處理題目里的三個perspective,應(yīng)該在哪里進行回應(yīng)?
咳咳,大家在以前的練習(xí)里,有沒有在老師強調(diào)題目要求時走神,會在這一環(huán)節(jié)被我發(fā)現(xiàn)。
一切沒有依據(jù)的建議都是空中樓閣,翠花,上依據(jù)!下面是題目的essay task,再給大家分析一遍,看看你有沒有忽視掉要求里的關(guān)鍵信息。
Essay Task
Writea unified,coherent essay in which you evaluate multiple perspectives on theincreasing presence of intelligent machines.In your essay,be sure to:
?analyze and evaluate the perspectivesgiven
?state and develop your own perspectiveon the issue
?explain the relationship between yourperspective and those given
Yourperspective may be in full agreement with any of the others,in partialagreement,or wholly different.Whatever the case,support your ideas withlogical reasoning and detailed,persuasive examples.
Essay task里的要點總結(jié)如下:你要在論述中聯(lián)系題目的觀點,并進行分析,但是你要做的還是論證你的觀點。這就意味著,對于你同意的觀點,可以轉(zhuǎn)述一下作為你的分論點;對于你不同意的觀點,可以放到讓步內(nèi)容中去寫,或者簡要分析你反駁它的理由。
但是,問題來了,你能在introduction一段回應(yīng)并分析題目的觀點嗎?我們可以對任何事物表達自己的價值判斷,但它并不是criticalthinking,critical thinking體現(xiàn)在論證,而非觀點。很多同學(xué)選擇在首段回應(yīng)題目觀點,你能做到analyzeand evaluate the perspectives given嗎?所以,建議在論證過程中(body段)回應(yīng)觀點。
三.2015年12月12日作文題目解析:
磨刀不誤砍柴工,說了那么多審題要點,我們接下來開始分析這次的試題。我們之前帶同學(xué)做過一道題叫An expert or a generalist,具體討論過當(dāng)一個專才好還是一個通才好,各自的優(yōu)缺點,不知練習(xí)過這道題上考場的同學(xué)內(nèi)心有沒有一絲竊喜。題目即分析對象,Thevalue of mastering a complex skill,說明討論的是掌握復(fù)合技能的價值,也就是你覺得當(dāng)一名專才好不好?
接下來我們根據(jù)題目觀點逐一進行分析,注意,brainstorming也是有范圍的,通常建議同學(xué)們圍繞題目的觀點進行思路拓展,而非漫無邊際的分析。觀點一主要意思Dedication to a goal gives purpose and order to life.Thedetermination and persistent requirement may shape us into strong people.這個觀點是一個偏支持的觀點。生活里有沒有這樣的例子能支持它呢?很多呀,一個人因為堅持做某件事而養(yǎng)成了良好的意志品質(zhì),學(xué)習(xí)中,工作中,科研中,各個領(lǐng)域例子同學(xué)們?nèi)绻}目看懂了應(yīng)該是信手拈來吧!
觀點二大概意思是Mastering a skill may worthefforts,but most people need variety and fun in their lives.It's important tobe a well-rounded and relaxed person.這個觀點和觀點一有一點對立,更傾向于做一個全才,而非專才。不知道考場上同學(xué)們有沒有抓住關(guān)鍵詞variety,fun,well-rounded進行分析和回應(yīng)。有很多例子可以舉,例如競選總統(tǒng)需要這個人既有能力,又有魅力,又有財力,一個well-roundedperson競選成功勝算更大吧;況且,我們的生活里很多時候需要我們用綜合能力去應(yīng)對例如一定的科研能力,組織能力等等。但是觀點二有沒有局限性?建議同學(xué)們考場上一個觀點從支持和反對兩個角度進行分析。首先,masteringa skill并不意味著會失去生活里的variety和fun吧,因為mastery這件事的程度因人而異,而且mastery和well-rounded person也并不是非此即彼的關(guān)系,同學(xué)們要是想反駁,也不難。
觀點三的大概意思是Find something you are goodat and stick with it.Then you will achieve mastery.It will not requirespecial character and effort.這是一個中立的觀點,覺得我們應(yīng)該選擇性培養(yǎng)某些專才。例如我們高中階段的教育不管什么領(lǐng)域都學(xué)一點,即便你將來學(xué)法律,掌握點物理知識也能在日后的生活里幫助到你,而學(xué)海無涯,現(xiàn)在又是知識爆炸的時代,作為一個現(xiàn)代人,就應(yīng)該具有淘金式思維的素質(zhì)。
3.真題范文
As we have stepped in to the information era,we are exposed to a wealth of newthings that needs to learn.In order to catch up with the fast-growing society,each of us should learn to acquire a new skill within a short period of time.Some people hold that it is better to be a person with comprehensive qualitieswhen faced with such a competitive job market.However,to be a personmastering a complex skill not only cultivates good will quality but alsoincreases the chance of good performance in his life career.
First of all,when we start to master a complex skill,we will concentrate onsomething and devote to it,which makes our life meaningful and builds goodqualities.This is in agreement with perspective one expressing agreement onthe benefits brought by mastery of a complex skill.Take the Chinese NobelPrize winner Tu Yoyo as an example.After she was given the scientificassignment to develop an effective vaccine against malaria,she spent numerousdays and nights reading books about Chinese medicine and experimenting withanimals and even herself.Repeated experiments brought her strong wills,determination and sense of responsibility to the whole human kind,making whatshe had done a lofty mission.Such devotion in a complex skill finally broughther with both honor and praise from the whole world so it is really meaningfulwhen one throws himself into a complex skill.
However,we had better choose the complex skills which we are good at lest it costs ustoo much time with less fruits just as perspective three claims.When we findthe right place,we could start to enhance the complex skill in this field.Then a satisfactory result can be expected because we are interested in it,wehave gift in this field and we can do a better job than those who are notcapable in it.For instance,Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard when he foundhis goal to establish an empire of internet.He specially devoted himself inwebpage making and then mastered complex skills in information technology.Theresults is known by all of us---the Microsoft Empire was established as adominant power in today’s internet world.His success is a vivid proof of theadvantage of selecting a suitable complex skill.
Although mastering a complex skill can bring us with so many advantages,some hold thatit may reduce the variety and fun of our life as what perspective twodescribes.On the contrary with perspective two,those variety and fun of ourlife cannot live without developing complex skills in what you are interested.Everything is unfamiliar with us unless we start to understand it and the degreeto master relevant skills vary from each other.It depends on our needs and thedegree of curiosity.Obtaining a complex skill is in itself a good thing forus.
To sum up,to make our stronger and more competitive,everyone in this fastchanging era should master some complex skills.
