本人手头上有的资料是Official guide,Kaplan. 由于定的barron的书还没到。所以各位谁有barron参考书请补充一下题目。

以下是一点复习new sat essay的浅见

准备essay 之前先要了解什么样的essay 算是好的文章。除了阅读官方题目和范文以外，可以看看这个sat写作，真的写作（新东方）
http://www.neworiental.org/backoffice/news/viewnews.asp?id=30909)
看完后大家一定会发现如果在sat写作里面还使用twe的那套东西（写作模板之类的）分数一定会很惨――不能说用那些东西分数一定会很低，很难得到5-6分！所以，本人的第一个建议就是不要去试着套模版了。写点真实的有感情东西吧。写出的文章只要思路清晰，语言通顺，稍微有点深度就行了。

怎样准备sat写作：

把题目分类：本人大概分了这几类：亲人篇，朋友篇，失败篇（成功篇，这两个可以互相转化，具体见下文

追求理想篇（比如你是追求金钱和名利还是do what you want）,善恶美丑篇，素质道德篇，生活篇等等等――
大家可以按照喜欢的方式分~:

以下是本人手头上的题（offcial guide的8个写作里面我留了4个给我自己练习用，就不公布了

Directions就不打了直接打assignment

Does weird behavior indicate an ordinary or an extraordinary person?"
善恶美丑篇，也可以使变化篇。因为善恶美丑可以互相转化~
It is true that one can always find opportunity ,even in trouble?
失败成功篇

something too ambitious, or to succeed at something you were already sure you could do?

追求理想篇
Do people have to be highly competitive in order to success?
素质篇,

其实很多题目都可以用相同的例子，比如说Thomas Edison had over 1000 "failures"before he fanally succeeded in inventing the electric bulb~非常通用~类似的例子还有很多，希望有机会大家共享一下！~

虽然这些伟人的例子很有说服力，毕竟生硬死板了些。本人建议使用自己经历过的事例（或者曾经在梦中经历过。

下面把我自己写的一篇文章贴出来，并不是说写得很好，但是我觉得sat写作的方向我是找对了。而且让美国老师改过：

Assignment
“It is true that the most memorable day of our lives re those in which we underwent some personal transformation or awakening?”

essay:

The most memorable day of a bird is the day it flies away from its nest. The most memorable day of a pupa is the day it metamorphosizes into a beautiful butterfly. I believe people are the same way. The days of our life when we undergo a transformation or an awakening are the most meaningful and unforgettable.

I love music. I began to play the piano when I was five years old. Although I'm not a great player, I still gain great satisfaction from being a pianist in my own world.
In my childhood, I had not experienced failure, trouble, or even success; however, my life has changed ever since I failed to join the school team as a piano player. After the sixth time I finished playing, a teacher told me that I had no ability to play. Although I cried, I knew what the teacher told me was true; that on the piano, I am clumsy and slow.
One day, as I lay on my bed thinking about my problem, I saw a spider over my head getting ready to weave her web. I watched her as she toiled slowly and with great care.
Six times she tried to throw her frail thread from one beam to another, and six times it fell short."
"Poor thing" I thought. "You too, know what it is to fail.") ]
But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure. With still more care, she got ready to try for the seventh time.
I almost forgot my own trouble as I watched her swing herself out upon the slender line. Would she fail again? No! The thread was carried safely to the beam, and fastened there.

"I too, will try a seventh time!" I cried.
"The real failure is when you stop trying." Even now I still remember this sentence my mother had told me when I finally got on the school team after trying seven times. I still remember the day that little spider taught me a lesson. It makes me feel as though I have really grown up.
