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1月SAT写作真题：
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2008.1)
Often we see people who persist in trying to achieve a particular goal, even when all the evidence indicates that they will be unlikely to achieve it. When they succeed, we consider them courageous for having overcome impossible obstacles. But when they fail, we think of them as headstrong, foolhardy, and bent on self-destruction. To many people, great effort is only worthwhile when it results in success.
Adapted from Gilbert Brim, “Ambition”
Assignment: Is the effort involved in pursuing any goal valuable, even if the goal is not reached? 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. 题目翻译：
我们总是看到有人坚持努力实现某个目标，甚至在所有的证据都表明这个目标难以实现的时候。当他们成功时，我们因为他们跨越了不可能的障碍而认为他们有勇气。但是当他们失败时，我们觉得他们刚愎自用、自我毁灭。对很多人而言，努力只有取得成功时才是有价值的。
题目：在追求目标时所做的努力，即使目标没有实现，也是有价值的吗?
2. 审题关键词：effort, goal, valuable
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：Nobody can reach his goal without continuous effort. Thus, we should respect all the effort one makes to achieve his goal, since it shows his absolute commitment.
反：Sometimes, we fail to achieve the goal because it is unrealistic for us. However hard we try, it is impossible for us to reach the goal.
补：As long as you can learn valuable lesson from the process, all the efforts you make is worthwhile.
