写作六大秘籍推荐之五

SAT的写作考试，要求的是一篇有专业性的写作，而不是一篇日记或随笔。所以使用俚语不应该在SAT的考试中出现。例如，在高考的时候，考生把“我要去…”写成“俺要去…”加有地方方言的语言方式。下面让我们通过英文的例子来说明；

例1 Brian’s mother reprimanded him for blowing his physic test.

Improved: Brian’s mother reprimanded him for failing his physic test.

同样的，考生在写作的时候，也应该尽量避免太多学术性强的语言。批卷的老师很有可能并不想你一样是个电脑高手。他或她可能只明白一些初级的电脑词汇，对于那些技术性强的词汇，可以一窍不通。 下面让我们通过英文的例子来说明；

例2 Close-support, transport, and reconnaissance assistance is provided by the S-3X helicopter, which is the most cost effective in a crane configuration.

Improved: The S-3X helicopter provides support, transportation, and reconnaissance. However, the helicopter is most cost effective when it works as a crane.
