你的ACT作文需要一个惊艳的开头
来源：上海新东方
作者：姜妍文
　　无论你是刚接触留学考试的菜鸟，还是久经沙场、横扫托福、ACT考试的老兵，提到写作，这样的开头一定不会陌生：
　　With the development of..., more and more people….Some people think… Other argue….In my opinion, ….
　　没错，这是陪伴我们走过无数条险峰狭路的“万精油”开头模板。而对于阅卷人来说，看到这样的开头，他们的感受可能是这样的：
　　他们早已被这千篇一律的模板开头麻痹神经，也期待突然的一针兴奋剂刺激大脑。要从芸芸众生中脱颖而出，同学们不妨参考以下这种开头段的吸睛大法：
　　提！问！法！
　　传授方法前，我们先看一段CCTV10《走进科学》节目预告词：
　　七旬老太为何惨死街头？
　　数百头猪为何半夜惨叫？
　　民宅房门为何夜夜被敲？
　　是疯狂的爆发还是饥渴的无奈，是人性的扭曲还是道德的沦丧？
　　敬请关注今晚8点CCTV10年度巨献《走近科学》，让我们跟随着镜头走进变态狂的内心世界…
　　《走进科学》的预告，总是能十足地吊起人的胃口。究其原因，就是因为用了特别出彩的“提问法”。精心设计的提问可以刺激读者的好奇心，并激发读者去寻找答案。这个方法我们也可以灵活运用于ACT写作的开头段中。
　　请记住提问法开头结构：
　　提问+分析+观点
　　举两个例子：
　　【例题1】
　　Place for education:
　　Perspective1: Schools are better places for education because institutions like schools are more likely to combine a myriad of resources for better use.
　　Perspective2: Education does not necessarily take place in schools as long as the educated can be imparted with valuable things that might do favor for their future.
　　Perspective3: Home schooling can also be an alternative for education because receiving education at home helps the educated to be free from unnecessary disturbance.
　　【开头段Sample】Are schools the best place for children to receive education? Or are there any other alternatives available? When talking about places for education, the first thing that comes into our mind is classroom education. However, recently, more and more parents have chosen home schooling for their teenagers. Parenting, surely, counts whereas, education can take various forms as long as the educated could be enlightened or inspired during the process.
　　【解析】开头利用两个问题“学校是否是接受教育的最佳场所”“有没有其他选择”引发读者思考。紧接着利用该问题引发的深思进一步分析有关受教育场所的问题。最后正式过渡到作者的立场，即Perspective2：教育可以有不同的形式。
　　看完这个开头，如果你觉得两个提问还不过瘾，没关系，我们还有下面的高能版。
　　【例题2】
　　STEM education:
　　Many people believe that a background in STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is needed to succeed in the 21st century. As technological advancements continue to reshape society, people with STEM training are more likely to be in increasing demand as they apply for colleges or seek a job. However, students do not seem to share the enthusiasm for STEM education. Research suggests that their interest and participation in such fields are declining. Given that students are not interested in STEM, it is worthwhile to value STEM education.
　　Perspective1: The purpose of education is to prepare students to get a good job. Highest-paying jobs require knowledge in STEM.
　　Perspective2: It is much more than a high-paying job to be fulfilled in life. The happiest people work at what they love.
　　Perspective3: No one can predict what a job in tomorrow will require. The basic, well-rounded education is best for most people.
　　【开头段Sample】Do you remember the joy of solving a difficult equation on your own as a student? Do you remember the pleasure of listening to those greatest immortal souls in science? Do you remember the excitement when you finally discover how CPU works as an integrated part? These experiences keep reminding us how fun STEM education is. To students who have great interest in STEM, it would be an ideal gift if they continue to learn STEM.
　　【解析】开头3个“Do you remember…?”将提问法和排比修辞相结合，语气瞬间增强3倍。一句话简短分析了理工教育的趣味后，引出了立场：对于喜欢理工科的学生来说，学习使它们快乐，即观点2。提问数量控制在3个以内为宜，既不会造成虎头蛇尾的感觉，也不会耽搁太多时间，毕竟文章重点还是要放在中间段。
　　以上就是ACT开头段提问法的精髓。妙用提问法，主动调动起评卷人的兴趣，会使你的文章画龙点睛。
　　如果你以为这就是开头段吸睛大法的全部，那就太单纯了。除此之外，还有画面法、背景法、故事法、引言法、让步法、历史法…欲窥全貌，可以问她↓。

今年9月考生们迎来了新版ACT写作的改革，参加了考试的学生明显感到难度和复杂度都高于旧版的写作。虽然新版写作在ACT最终评分系统里仍然不计分，但是在大学申请时，有的学校要求提交考试总分，各单项分，和作文的分数的，因此写作部分仍然不容忽视。今天小编给大家介绍一下攻克ACT作文的步骤，希望可以帮助到同学们!
1. 仔细审题，建立有一定深度的理解
有深度的理解直接决定了观点是否有深度。观点是新版写作最重要的得分点。新版写作增加了10分钟的时间，为40分钟。在增加的10分钟里，应该写下提纲和一切一念之间产生的琐碎的观点，可以是一个词，一个短语。记录每个观点的漏洞和可取之处，最终在写作过程中我们做的其实是组织和还原碎片这件事。
2. 观点必须有效，并且同样有一定深度
以一道样体为例，话题：很多情况下健康和自由是不可兼得的，烟民充分享受自由的时候其实剥夺了大多数群体的健康，那么该如何平衡健康和自由呢?
观点1:保护大多数人的利益(健康)，牺牲少数人的自由。
观点2: 自由是无价的，牺牲自由获得健康是不值得的。
观点3: 健康的权利就是一种自由，个人行为危害他人健康就同时危害了自由和健康。
我们可我们可以选择支持其中一个观点，反驳分析其他的观点，也可以反对所有的观点，提出自己新的观点。但是很多学生分析观点的方式显得较为粗暴。以观点1为例，有的学生反驳道“虽然大多数人的利益得到了维护，但是少数派群体的自由却被侵犯了，少数人的 自由也同样重要，不应该被忽略。”这样的论述就是无效的典型，为什么少数人的自由同样重要还是没有说清楚。就比如我喜欢读书，人家问我为什么喜欢，我说因为读书有益，有趣，却没有说清楚为什么。意识到这一点，我们就能继续往下扩展了：因为牺牲少数人的自由其实就承认了他们的自由没有大多数人的自由重要，而自由本身是不可以比较衡量的，这个世界不存在好的自由，或者坏的自由，所以每个人的自由应该是平等的。这样的反驳才是真正有效的。总而言之，建立有效的观点，我们需要问自己几个问题：
1)每个观点有什么合理之处和漏洞缺陷?
2)为什么有人支持，有人反对?
3)我自己的观点是什么，有什么优势?
4)如何支持自己的观点?这几个问题就是我们写作的大方向。
3. 组织能力
组织能力是把有逻辑性的观点展开的充分和明确的保证。什么是组织呢，比如这三个观点，我们不一定依次按照顺序分析，我们可以把漏洞最大的观点/最反对的观点放在正文的第一段，把可行性最大的，漏洞最少的观点放在最后一段，接下来就可以发表自己的修正性观点了，这样文章就会避免误解，达到有效的组织。同样，句子和句子之间同样存在组织性，比如，例证需要紧随观点句，而不是放在观点句前面，形容词和副词要放在正确的位置，不可以产生歧义。这些都属于组织能力。
4.语言能力
语言能力包括语法，表达造句，和措辞。熟练掌握了英语部分的语法考察点，那么写作中的语法基本也不成问题。表达造句和措辞却是长期积累的结果，积累的过程除了借鉴各类文学读物中的语言，还可以以名人演讲为鉴赏素材，背下经典的段落，大胆运用在文章里。 比如我们最熟悉的I have a dream, 比尔盖茨的主题演讲，乔布斯在斯坦福的演讲等等，可以说任何一个名人演讲，都有相当之多的借鉴之处。
5. 论据素材
改版后的写作话题的范围也扩大到历史，文学，科技，创新等层面了，所以在论证过程中，可选择性适当插入一些世界文学，政治，历史上的例子素材，一来增加论点的支撑，二来也能反应考生对历史文化背景的理解和应用。这里以观点2为例(自由是无价的，牺牲自由获得健康是不值得的)。反驳：自由是无价的，很多历史事件，战争都是对自由的追求驱使的，比如印度独立战争和美国的民权运动(可以稍微展开)。但是自由的目的如果是实现和平，人道主义理想，这样的自由是值得保护的，但是自由不能成为一种自我放纵，危害他人的借口。
6. 解释自己的观点和三个观点之间的关系
这个让我想到了托福考试的综合写作部分要求考生阐明听力文字和阅读文字的关系。ACT写作要求考生也必须阐明自己的观点和已有的三个观点之间是一致还是对立，或者部分对立，无论哪种关系，多半在论述过程中已经有所体现和暗示，但是作为得分点之一，必须进行直接，明确地阐释。
虽然官方对字数并没有一个硬性的要求，但是根据对满分和高分作文的统计，它们一般都超过500字，虽然字数和写作水平没有直接的练习，但是写一篇具备上述6个特征的议论文，500字的篇幅绝对是需要的，况且写作时间也比较充分，所以我们要尽量保证字数达到500以上。
以上是小编给大家介绍的攻克新ACT作文的步骤，希望可以帮助到同学们!

　　之前带着大家一起来回顾一下本次考试写作部分完整的题目和范文!还有 提供给大家。这次一起来分享一下的写作标准解读&评分标准。
　　Session 1：写作标准解读
　　改革始末：在2015年9月，ACT对于写作部分做了一系列的变革。其中包括时间，话题范围，考试方式，评分标准和算分办法的改变。因为我们知道另外一个考试组织方Collegeboard对SAT也进行了变革，尤其是新SAT写作部分，直接变成了分析性写作，直接考查学生的阅读，分析和写作的综合能力，弱化了考试备考的技巧性和投机成分。迫于竞争对手的考试变革压力，ACT也相应地对其写作部分做了较大的变动。我们先具体看看其变化的细节：新旧ACT写作对比
　　1. 考试时间
　　改革前：总时间长度为30分钟，文章体裁要求为议论文
　　改革后：总时间长度为40分钟，文章体裁要求为剖析性议论文
　　2. 话题范围
　　改革前：基本集中于考查教育类话题
　　改革后：考查更普遍多样的社会话题
　　3. 考题方式
　　改革前：试题提供正反两方观念供参考，需考生独立表达观点，可与题干观点不一致。
　　改革后：试题提供三方观点，须对所给观点分别进行剖析，基本属于较复杂问题，必须与题干观点结合讨论。
　　4. 评分标准
　　改革前：主要从考生文章谈论的复杂度、观点展开、文章组织及语言表达进行评分。
　　改革后：四个范畴评价：观点和分析(Ideas and Analysis)，文章观点展开与论证支持(Development and Support)，文章组织(Organization)，语言应用和语法(Language Use and Conventions)
　　5. 算分办法
　　改革前：两位阅卷人评分，分别依照1-6分评价，加和汇总。例如两位阅卷人的分数分别是：6分，5分，考生最后的得分为11分。
　　改革后：两位阅卷人评分，每人在四个范畴内依照1-6分评价，最后每个范畴加和汇总，即每个范畴得分区间2-12分。例如两位阅卷人分数分别是：3-3-3-3，3-3-3-3，最后得分为6-6-6-6。另外，除了每个范畴的得分外，考生还会取得一个最终换算的1-36分范围内的写作总分。
　　评分标准
　　评分标准概览：
　　Scoring Rubric - Overview
　　This analytic scoring rubric presents the standards by which your essay will be evaluated. The following rubric overview will help you to better understand the dimensions of writing that this assessment evaluates.
　　This task asks you to generate an argument that establishes a perspective on a given issue and brings it into dialogue with other perspectives. In evaluating your response, trained readers will use an analytic rubric that breaks the central elements of written argument into four domains: Ideas and Analysis, Development and Support, Organization, and Language Use and Conventions. As you review these domains, think about the role each plays in a written argument that accomplishes its purpose.
　　Ideas and Analysis: Scores in this domain reflect the ability to generate productive ideas and engage critically with multiple perspectives on the given issue. Competent writers understand the issue they are invited to address, the purpose for writing, and the audience. They generate ideas that are relevant to the situation.
　　Development and Support: Scores in this domain reflect the ability to discuss ideas, offer rationale, and bolster an argument. Competent writers explain and explore their ideas, discuss implications, and illustrate through examples. They help the reader understand their thinking about the issue.
　　Organization: Scores in this domain reflect the ability to organize ideas with clarity and purpose. Organizational choices are integral to effective writing. Competent writers arrange their essay in a way that clearly shows the relationship between ideas, and they guide the reader through their discussion.
　　Language Use and Conventions: Scores in this domain reflect the ability to use written language to convey arguments with clarity. Competent writers make use of the conventions of grammar, syntax, word usage, and mechanics. They are also aware of their audience and adjust the style and tone of their writing to communicate effectively.

　　虽然ACT考试中的写作部位为选择性的，但在一定程度上也反应了你整体的能力和水平，因此你在申请美国学校就会占据很大的优势，毕竟美国的大学都会有大量的写作。ACT考试作文满分为6分，什么样的作文可以拿到6分呢?
　　范例：
　　The Senior Itch—the incurable chaffing we all crave to scratch. The cure? Graduation. As we progress through our high school years growing with wisdom and maturity, we all yearn for freedom. Yet what we desire most is not always what is best for us. Although most won't want to admit it, extending our high school career to five years would make an important and beneficial impact on our future. With the four years that are currently provided, there is not enough time for motivated students to accomplish their goals before college. Merely being accepted by a selective college or university requires much pre-planned effort that is literally unavailable to students already concerned with grades and other activities.
　　Colleges look most thoroughly at how an applicant used his or her four years of high school. Leadership roles, a dedication to an organization, and a well-rounded, involved student is appealing to the most elite educational institutions. Often, students desire leadership positions in numerous extra-curricular organizations, but face limiting regulations on the number of offices they may hold at one time. Even if a school doesn't limit students' involvement, students eventually reach the limits of what a 24-hour day can hold. Too often, students cannot participate as much as they want in as many extra-curriculars as they want because there just isn't time. With an extra year of high school, those involved in more than one activity could successfully find the time to contribute to and to lead each one. Colleges would see a longer, more developed individual's resume that included a time for each of their interests. The organizations would benefit from stronger student participation and the students would be recognized for their true efforts as well.
　　Because they struggle to gain leadership roles and become the well-rounded students colleges desire, the task of maintaining a respectable grade-point-average during high school is a struggle for many students. It is difficult to be involved in activities of interest while still keeping high grades. However, colleges don't consider this when they seek applicants with high grade-point-averages in their admissions pool. Elongating the span of high school would allow more students with both grades and activities on their agenda to spend more time focusing on each separate interest. Rather than feeling forced to crunch a large block of &weighted& classes together in hopes of elevating their GPA, students would find more time to spread out their difficult classes and make the most of every single year. With less pressure and more time, grades would improve for all dedicated students, as would the enjoyment of studying those subjects and the increased retainment of what we learned in those classes.
　　Education aside, many high school students find that four years is not enough time to accomplish their varied goals. For instance, a student may desire a job in addition to school. The money they earn may help pay their way through college. With such a short preparation period before college, they can hardly be expected to make a successful life for themself without the proper funds. Also, many students are interested in community service prior to attending college, but find they do not have enough time in the four-year high school period. Colleges are drawn to students with a rich assortment of community service and evidence of responsibilities such as holding a job, but students have a hard time finding the hours to put into these tasks.
　　High school is the foundation of the rest of our life. Like money in the bank, the investment of an additional year when we are young can make all the difference. With the additional time, motivated students would be able to become more involved in their schools, boost their grades, and find the time for a job and community service. Colleges admire these attributes, and for the sake of high-schoolers' acceptance into these institutions, more time should be provided for their endeavors. High school students work hard toward their future. Another year would help ensure their success.
　　官方评语:
　　This essay demonstrates effective skill in responding to the writing task.
　　The essay takes a position on the issue (extending our high school career to five years would make an important and beneficial impact on our future) and offers a critical context for discussion (Yet what we desire most is not always what is best for us). Complexity is addressed as the writer anticipates and responds to a counter-argument to the discussion (Even if a school doesn't limit students' involvement, students eventually reach the limits of what a 24-hour day can hold). Development is ample, specific and logical, discussing most ideas fully in terms of the resulting implications (Colleges would see a longer, more developed individual's resume that included a time for each of their interests. The organizations would benefit from stronger student participation and the students would be recognized for their true efforts as well). Clear focus on the specific issue in the prompt is maintained.
　　Organization of the essay is clear though predictable. Most of the essay demonstrates logical sequencing of ideas (It is difficult to be involved in activities of interest while still keeping high grades. However, colleges don't consider this when they seek applicants with high grade-point-averages in their admissions pool. Elongating the span of high school would allow more students with both grades and activities on their agenda to spend more time focusing on each separate interest). Transitions are used throughout the essay (Although, Even if, However, Rather than) and are often integrated into the essay (Because they struggle to gain leadership roles and become the well-rounded students colleges desire, the task of maintaining a respectable grade-point-average during high school is a struggle for many students). The conclusion and especially the introduction are effective and well developed.
　　The essay shows a good command of language, with precise and varied sentences and word choice (The Senior Itch—the incurable chaffing we all crave to scratch. . . . Merely being accepted by a selective college or university requires much pre-planned effort that is literally unavailable to students already concerned with grades and other activities).
　　There are few errors to distract the reader.
　　以上就是一篇ACT写作考试满分作文的展示，同时也给出了官方评语。同学们可以对照二者来制定自己的ACT写作备考计划，争取在写作上取得好成绩，这将会对申请起到非常重要的作用。
