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?

2008年5月SAT写作真题：
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. (2008.5)
There are those who believe that everything we do is inspired by the desire for power in its various forms. They maintain that our actions are nothing but expressions of a striving for power. In this view, even when we act kindly toward other people, we are motivated, whether we know it or not, by a desire to have some control over their lives, for our act of kindness puts them partially in our power.
Adapted from Leszek Kolakowski, “Freedom, Fame, Lying, and Betrayal: Essays on Everyday Life”
Assignment: Are people’s actions motivated primarily by a desire for power over other? 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.
