【紫铭留学网 - SAT】
SAT 写作技巧的掌握对大家提高SAT 写作成绩有很大的帮助，但是真正掌握一项SAT写作技巧并不是一件容易的事，下面就从一篇SAT写作主体部分的过程来手把手教大家SAT写作技巧，供大家参考，希望给大家带来帮助和借鉴。

　　Assignment: Is it better to get all the information before taking action or is it better to take action first and then analyze the process of the whole action?

　　解惑：这是个选择式的题目，问各位是先行动好，还是得到全部信息然后行动更好。

　　主体部分的SAT写作过程如下，大家可以在这个过程当中学习到一些SAT写作技巧：

　　这篇文章是选择式的，所以最好的写法是把例子拆成两个部分，第一部分是否定的内容，即仓促行动导致全盘皆输;第二部分是全面准备后下决定然后成功的例子。

　　用一个最简单的素材：

　　First, she started a restaurant, Helen’s Place. Though it was popular and did a steady business. Aunt Helen knew little about managing money, so her restaurant went out of business.

　　Then she tried to open a coffeehouse, but there were already many popular coffeehouses in her town, so her coffeehouse never managed to attract many customers.

　　阿姨为人打工多年，小有积蓄(save up for many years)---希望自己创业(start up her own business)---因为觉得自己厨艺不错，没有进行实地考察，就仓促决定选择餐馆, (without a moment’ hesitation，make a decision/action 点题)--- 但是后来发现餐馆没有什么客户(fail to attract many customers)---原因是所处的地段是中学附近，竞争对手实力过分强大(fierce competition)---可以把对手细化成两类加强真实感，一类是small profit, large sales revenue; 还有一类是good at creating romantic atmosphere, aimed at rich customers--- 之后阿姨不得不关门(close down营造失败的细节).

　　第二部 过渡

　　阿姨的父亲是个老企业家，他指出问题阿姨这次失败的原因所在, 即要做计划然后再行动---阿姨学习了经验---下定决心重新起航，并且会先做好全面准备工作再决定。

　　注：通常SAT写作满分作文都会出现一个“智者”指出主人公问题的所在而不是由主人公自己讲出。

　　Despite great disappointment, my optimistic aunt soon recovered from this failure with her father’s encouragement (an experienced and successful entrepreneur in Suzhou), who pointed out her biggest problem after knowing the whole process. He told my aunt, ‘More haste, less speed. You had better make full preparation before each decisiSAT
