  ACT寫作固然不算分,然則申請絕大多半名校時都須要供給ACT寫作單項成就,以是,關於這部門的備考考生是不克不及疏忽的,剖析中國考生失敗的ACT作文,裸露至多的題目便是缺少細節,大多半門生寫作文習氣了太空太泛,而沒有詳細的細節,因此缺少說服力,以是,考生在備考的時刻起首要戰勝的便是這個題目。

  1. 甚麽是細節?

  細節便是論說文裏論據的一種----實例性論據,也便是咱們平日所說的例子。那它在論說文裏的感化是甚麽呢?咱們先來看一下論說文的構造,ACT寫作請求的是論說文,在漢語和英語中,論說文都包括三個要素claim(論點),reason(來由),evidence(論據)。三者缺一弗成,來由支撐論點,論據支撐來由。以是細節的感化便是支撐來由,進而讓態度更有說服力。

  2. ACT寫作評分尺度對細節的請求是甚麽?

  “Development of ideas is specific. Most ideas are fully elaborated.”固然短短一句話,然則註解了評分尺度對細節的看重水平。如今咱們以ACT官方指南上的一個標題為例:

  “Should high schools adopt dress codes for students?”(高中是不是應當有著裝範例?)許多同窗拿到這道題都可以或許敏捷切實其實定態度和來由,下面以門生作文演習中一段為例:

  “Dress codes can contribute to healthy school atmosphere. It is common for people to notice that an increasing number of high school students wear inappropriate clothes in schools. Such kinds of clothes severely distract students from learning. With the common practice of uniforms, one kind of dress codes, school can create a better environment for students.”

  這段存在的題目大部門同窗都邑有,便是缺少詳細的細節。個中提到了“inappropriate clothing”(欠妥著裝) 這個觀點及發生的欠好影響。然則卻並無指出到底甚麽樣的衣服是欠妥著裝,高中最常湧現的欠妥著裝有哪些,因此缺少充足的說服力。若何能力做到細節夠詳細呢?以ACT官方指南滿分範文個中一段為例:

  “Allowing students to wear whatever they want is clearly not working. Too many teens today seek to emulate rock stars and pick up fashion tips from MTV. In a culture that is inundated with sexual inuendo or worse, it is not surprising that kids show up at school in suggestive clothing. The educators are right. Short skirts and spandex tops can be extremely distracting to a population group driven largely by hormones. Establishing a dress code could help improve the learning environment in the school.”

  這一段一樣是在寫欠妥著裝,然則卻詳細許多。好比文中詳細提到了校園中欠妥著裝的一種—suggestive clothing(裸露的著裝),乃至詳細的衣服範例--- short skirts(超短裙),spandex tops (露臍上衣)。

  3. 若何寫出更詳細的細節?

  肯定話題中的重要觀點,然後查找與觀點相幹的詳細細節。實在ACT寫作話題的廣度和深度比擬SAT要簡略許多。標題大可能是校園話題。是以要供給詳細的細節,日常平凡留心積聚就OK了。 如今舉例解釋。

  1). “Is it too distracting for high school students to divide their attention among several activities when they are doing homework?”

  (高中生做功課同時做其他的工作會不會分心?)

  假如咱們的態度是“做功課同時做其他工作會分心”, 那末重點便是同時做哪些工作會致使咱們分心呢,許多同窗寫的例子段內裏只是空洞的剖析了如許做的缺陷,但沒能指出詳細哪些工作。實在這個細節相對於比擬輕易,由於和高中生的生存互相關註。眾人只須要思慮做功課的時刻作哪些工作會分心,好比聽音樂,刷Facebook,Twitter,微信同夥圈,談天,看美劇,玩遊戲。經由過程列出詳細的細節,然後再逐一剖析如何關擾進修,下降效力就更有說服力了。

  2). “Should high school libraries subscribe to popular magazines?”

  (高中藏書樓應不該該定閱普通雜誌?)

  摘自門生演習中的一小段

  “Subscribing to popular magazines motivates students to read. For my school district, every school in the district has access to all kinds of magazines and books. The results are significant – students who resist reading tend to spend more time in the library with friends reading. This will develop into a long-term habit and students will tend to read more even after they graduate from school.”

  這一段存在的題目一樣也是缺少詳細的細節。標題重要的觀點便是普通雜誌,然則論證中卻沒有湧現詳細的普通雜誌的例子。要寫好這個標題,眾人須要想想有哪些常見的美國普通雜誌。實在其實不須要太多時光,然則會讓眾人的文章變得更有說服力。好比美國常見的普通雜誌包含 ELLE, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone, Food Network, National Geographic。寫來由段的時刻就能夠選擇隨意率性一個雜誌為例來寫定閱這種雜誌對青少年的優缺陷。下面是門生參加詳細細節以後的修正版:

  “Subscribing to popular magazines motivates students to read. For my school district, every school in the district has access to all kinds of magazines and books including National Geographic that gave students a grand view of the nature; it attracts students who are interested in photography by posting incredible seen of the wild such as leopards and elephants in Africa. The results are significant – students who resist to read tend to spend more time in the library with friends to read. This will develop into a long-term habit and students will tend to read more even after they graduate from school.”

  相較於以前的版本,修正以後的文章參加了詳細的細節---國度地輿雜誌,和這個雜誌對學臨盆生的詳細的影響。文章的說服力更強了。

  以上內容便是關於ACT寫作測驗細節描寫的一些先容,願望考生能從上面的例子和先容中汲取一些履歷,在ACT寫作測驗的演習中勤加演習,以便在ACT寫作測驗中獲得一個有競爭力的分數,末了,祝考生在接下來的ACT測驗中有精彩的施展。
