在同学们准备SAT考试的时候，需要同学们对于写作部分有足够的重视，因为很多美国名校都是要求
1月亚太地区作文考题
Assignments: should we hold on to the old when innovations are available, or should we simply move forward.
不难看出，此次的考题并没有逃出我们平日练习讲解的法网。无论准备SAT考试的过程中你怎么分类，此次考题不出意外应该归结为常见的- 创新类-话题。当然如果你平时准备话题的时候就喜欢选择‘深思熟虑，深度思考而不是贸然行事’这样的立场，选择前者也是可以答出满意作文的。 那么面对考题，我们如何有效破题，抓住题目的要害，有效的利用考场25分钟，写出满意的考场作文呢?下面我们来分析话题。
当然，就SAT话题本身而言并没有正确答案一说，百家争鸣也正是SAT考试可以作为能力测试最根本之处，对于抽象的哲学概念，如何有效破题尤为关键。1月的SAT 写作题目同学们可以从几个方面先来破题。
方法一：agree with "simply move forward"
我们在分析过去和现在对比的时候，都分析过这样的逻辑主线 holding on the old 好处：因为old conception generated from our ancestor 是useful ,valuable or considerable experience 可以提供 wisdom advice ，avoid mistakes or be acceptable by the society.同时，对方思路move on 的好处，distinctive / novelty ideas /different perspectives/ progress / breakthrough/refine mistakes/ pave the way for social progress.想必这些ideas应该都是同学们在平时备考的过程中常分析的思路。那么有效的将他们组建在你的开头第一段，开门见山以让步段的形式交代清楚分别的好处，为什么move forward 好于hold on the old 就可以想例子了。此类话题非常宽泛，同学们随便选一个自己在科技类或者成功类里面准备过的人一般都具有创新，带来社会进步，思想飞跃的特点。 所以，两个有效的名人例子非常简单，比如我们常见的Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg，或者说新型的发明比如3D打印机，Tesla的electric car,或者google 眼镜更满足不同时代的需求，外界环境日新月异的变化推动着人类走向一个又一个里程碑都是让人侧目的好例子，好角度。只要有效在开头表达清楚立场，例子中适当点题或者加入对比墨守成规的坏处，是非常容易抓住题目要素的。
同学们在写作过程中还可参照以下范例中的切题方法有效展开话题：
We take for granted that traditional thinking or old values are valuable and essential for us to follow even in the contemporary society. Since those ideas or manners inherited from our ancestors are valuable experiences and cautious advice, younger generations can not merely avoid mistakes effectively, but also be acceptable by the society. However, nothing in the world could remain eternity; in fact, the world always forces us to refine, to change and to replace what we originally persist in. Although certain innovations seem to be ridiculous or risky, they were and are the history people have made, being landmarks in process of human civilization. obviously, we should just move forward no matter in which circumstance. In this essay, examples of … and .. can vividly exemplify my state.
方法二：Agree with "old on the old when innovations are available"
坚持旧的想法也不是完全不能写的，虽然在高速发展的经济全球化社会中，坚持新观点就是大家的众望所归，选择‘爆冷门’的同学也不是不可的。 对于新观点的负面话题，我们在准备科技类话题的时候，应该都见过 whether development of technology comes at the cost of undesirable cost? No progress without sacrifice? Are people happier when they have lots of choices? 诸如此类的话题，我们往往都能扯到环境(environment devastation)或信息滥用(information abuse)方面上来。这些话题，只要说盲目的move on，过度关注创新， without serious thinking ，而后suffer from severe consequences基本可以轻松搞定。可选用的例子我们可以说到如今的雾霾天气(haze)，或者说信息不真实所带来的欺骗，我们在此也可提及广告中虚假信息。总而言之，只要你能有效的分析话题，讨论利弊，坚持明确立场是很容易得到10以上的分数的。
2014年1月25日北美写作考题
Assignment: Progress is made through struggle and conflicts.
一项难搞的北美考题自2013年10月以来一直走低调路线，不是创新就是成功一类话题。这次的题目也很简单，首先，我们看到题目要求progress这一宽泛字眼可以联想到的话题太多太多， 创新，成功，逆境，科技等等，至于判断行话题后面提及的条件：struggle and conflicts 更是大大降低了难，此类话题如果同学们准备过失败与逆境，或者成功与努力一类话题一定会马上想起自己以前比较熟悉的例子，所以有效组织语言，抛出立场深入分析，句子表达完整就可以轻松搞定!至于例子的内容，无论你写过去的Lincoin prepared for election 还是Tomas Edison 的千次尝试，或者Nick Vujicic 的坚持不懈，永不止步，相信都再合适不过了，哪个成功人士没遭过点罪呢? 当然，越简单的话题可能找到对立面就很不容易，纵然你知道成功需要挫折，但是反之你却不知从何说起。这个时候不妨想想我们分析过话题中，曾经分析过的话题比如：lucky or earn? adversity or ease? current ways of doing or new ideas? 在这些曾经分析过的对立面中，我想同学们会很容易找到对立面的。
范例：
Practice makes perfect. People insist that with enough accumulation and practice, people can absolutely make progress and bring about success. However, from common sense, current ways of doing things are only kind of mechanical repetition, which are so ordinary that can hardly bring about breakthrough or progress. Only through a series of struggle and conflicts people can realize what they are short of, how they can behave better and where should move forward. Unlike staying in ease, struggles and conflicts could bring about something different and force people into actions. Tracing back to the history, countless prodigies and greats impressed the world with their struggle and conflicts. Well, obviously xx and xx are among them.
以上是针对2014年北美和亚太地区SAT写作部分，破题，切题例子展开的回顾和分析。建议同学们在准备考试的过程中，有效将考试题目分类，准备例子的同时有效展开合理运用，切忌生搬硬套。答题速度的快慢，跟我们平时分析话题的能力更是息息相关，所以知己知彼，百战不殆。
