SSAT写作三大题型总结

　　SSAT考试共分为四个部分：SSAT词汇、SSAT阅读、SSAT数学和SSAT写作。前三个部分为计分项目，SSAT写作部分虽然不计分但是会在寄送官方成绩给学校时以复印件一并送达，所以也需要重视。很多同学对于SSAT写作要求还不是很了解，接下来，小编就为大家讲解一下。

　　一、题型

　　SSAT作文题目主要分为三大类：谚语(proverb)、陈述(statement)及开放性问题(open question)。三类题目举例如下：

　　谚语类举例：

　　Topic: Practice makes perfect. Assignment: Do you agree or disagree with the topic statement? Support your position with one or two specific examples from your own experience, the experience of others, current events, history, or literature.

　　陈述类举例： Topic: Students should wear uniforms to school. Assignment: Do you agree or disagree with the topic statement? Support your position with one or two specific examples from your own experience, the experience of others, current events, history, or literature.

　　开放性问题举例1： If I could visit another city, I would choose…

　　开放性问题举例2： How can we help the elderly in our community?

　　谚语与陈述类话题类似，题目由两部分组成：topic和assignment，写作要求为：针对话题表明态度(agree or disagree);然后采用1-2个具体的例子支持观点，例子来源于考生自己的生活经验、他人的生活经验、时事、历史以及文学。开放性问题类型较为多样，通常有两种模式：1. 给出一个不完整的句子，让考生将该句话补充完整，并作为文章的开头继续写下去;2. 给出一个问题让考生回答。
