SAT I 的 Writing 部分要求写 1 篇文章，时间为 25 分钟，依据试题要求，写出一篇完整的议论文。 要求学生用铅笔在纸上完成(自 动铅笔、HB、2B 铅笔均可)，不需要另加标题。SAT I 的 Writing 的字数没有硬性规定，但作文的篇幅约有一张半 A4 纸的大小。全部写满一般要 用400 至 500 个英语单词。
因此，如何在25分钟内写出一篇篇幅较长而又令人印象深刻的内容呢?

2009年5月SAT写作真题：
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
People define themselves by work, by what they “do.” When one person asks another, “What do you do?” the answer always refers to a job or profession: “I’m a doctor, an accountant, a farmer.” I’ve often wondered what would happen if we changed the question to, “Who are you?” or, “What kind of person are you?” or even, “What do you do for fun?”
Adapted from Stephan Rechtschaffen, Time Shifting
Assignment: Are people best defined by what they do? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

1. 题干翻译：
人们用工作以及用他们“做什么”来定义自己，当一个人问另一个人“你做什么?”回答通常是指自己做的工作：我是医生、是会计、是农民。我经常想如果我们把问题换成“你是谁?”或者“你是什么性格的人”甚至“你休闲的时候做什么”会是什么样的情形。
题目：人们最好的定义是他们是做什么吗?
2. 审题关键词：define, work, person
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：What people do defines them.
反：However, people also can define themself by who they are.
补：What people do defines them as well as who they are does.
