SAT Essay还有一年半的时间我们就要迎接来新的SAT考试了，那么我们先来看一下新的SA T会有些什么改变：·最早的一次新SAT考试会出现在2016年的春天·新的SAT考试会以2种形式出现：纸质版考试和电脑版考试(电脑版考试的考点会根据的地区来确定)·考试内容：(1) 询证式阅读和语法(2) 数学(3)作文·考试长度：(1)3个小时+50分钟的作文(2) 具体时长会根据进一步的实验再做决定·考试分数：1600(1) 询证式阅读+语法：800分(2)数学：800分(3) 作文：单独出分数(可选，但是大部分学校会要求作文分数)SAT写作改革重点：重新改革的SAT将会更加贴近美国高中教育同时配合美国大学人才的需求。

新的SAT作文考试会更加侧重学生能不能够完全适应美国大学里面的学术写作要求，日常的作业，和论文的完成等。

所以，新的SAT作文考试要求学生首先具备一些基本的英语写作素养，比如说，遣词造句的能力，表达的能力，构建文章的能力。

除此之外，新的考试会更关注于学生整体的读与写的能力，包括逻辑思维能力，辩证性思维能力，独立思考能力，论证能力，辩述能力，分析文章能力等。

因此，新的SAT写作不论从内容上还是形式上都将会有的巨大的改变，与现有的SAT考试截然不同。

SAT写作改革内容：首先，让我们先看一下改革的蓝图：·来自不同来源的文章·在阅读文章的时候，考虑作者是如何使用：(1)论据，比如例子和事实(2) 论述：如何建立论述，同时是如何连接论述和证据(3) 文体风格或是其他表达方式来展开思路，添加细节，使得整篇文章更有说服力。

·完成一篇作文，来解释作者是如何构建论证来说服读者的。

那么在新的考试中，学生要做如下几件事情。

首先，学生会阅读一篇文章，然后去解释读者是如何构建论证的。

学生需要用阅读文章中的具体的例子和论据来论证支持自己的写作观点。

整体的写作要求会无限地接近贴合大学里相关的需要写作的作业和论文等。

新的作文部分将被设计成帮助高中生培养仔细阅读，详细分析，清晰写作的能力。

这次的改革也会促进学生阅读更广泛的文章，同时使得学生能够从作者的角度分析相关的具体文章修辞，写作意图，论证的使用等。

相关的阅读文章会提前公布和分享出来，整体的风格和形式是保持一致的，只是具体的文章会不一样。

虽然作文的分数在整体的SAT考试中是可选的，但是和一些地区和一些学校将会要求作文的分数。

The following sample Essay prompt is followed by an annotated version of the source text that suggests some of the ways that students might analyze t he text in response to the prompt. The annotations are only examples of element s of the passage students may choose to write about.As you read the passage below, consider how Paul Bogard uses•Evidence, such as facts or examples, to support claims.•Reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence.•Stylistic or persuasive elements, such as word choice or appeals to emotion, t o add power to the ideas expressed.Adapted from Paul Bogard, “Let There be Dark.”©2012 by the Los An geles Times. Originally published December 21, 2012.At my family’s cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that m y hands disappeared before my eyes. I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I wor ry we are rapidly losing night’s natural darkness before realizing its worth. This winter solstice, as we cheer the days’gradual movement back toward ligh t, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.All life evolved to the steady rhythm of bright days and dark nights. Today, though, when we feel the closeness of nightfall, we reach quickly for a light switch. And too little darkness, meaning too much artificial light at nig ht, spells trouble for all.Already the World Health Organization classifies working the night shi ft as a probable human carcinogen, and the American Medical Association has voi ced its unanimous support for “light pollution reduction efforts and glare re duction efforts at both the national and state levels.”Our bodies need darkn ess to produce the hormone melatonin, which keeps certain cancers from developi ng, and our bodies need darkness for sleep.Sleep disorders have been linked to diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and depression, and recent research suggests one main cause of “short sleep”is “long light.”Whether we work at night or simply take our table ts, notebooks and smartphones to bed, there isn’t a place for this much artifi cial light in our lives.The rest of the world depends on darkness as well, including nocturnal and crepuscular species of birds, insects, mammals, fish and reptiles. Some ex amples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night
in North A merica, the sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs—and some are not, s uch as the bats that save American farmers billions in pest control and the mot hs that pollinate 80% of the world’s flora. Ecological light pollution is like the bulldozer of the night, wrecking habitat and disrupting ecosystems several billion years in the making. Simply put, without darkness, Earth’s ecology wou ld collapse . . .In today’s crowded, louder, more fast-paced world, night’s darkness
c an provide solitude, quiet and stillness, qualities increasingly in short suppl y. Every religious tradition has considered darkness invaluable for a soulful l ife, and the chance to witness the universe has inspired artists, philosophers and everyday stargazers since time began. In a world awash with electric light. . . how would Van Gogh have given the world his “Starry Night”? Who knows what this vision of the night sky might inspire in each of us, in our children or grandchildren?Yet all over the world, our nights are growing brighter. In the United States and Western Europe, the amount of light in the sky increases an average of about 6% every year. Computer images of the United States at night, based o n NASA photographs, show that what was a very dark country as recently as the 1 950s is now nearly covered with a blanket of light. Much of this light is waste d energy, which means wasted dollars. Those of us over 35 are perhaps among the last generation to have known truly dark nights. Even the northern lake where I was lucky to spend my summers has seen its darkness diminish.It doesn’t have to be this way. Light pollution is readily within our ability to solve, using new lighting technologies and shielding existing lights. Already, many cities and towns across North America and Europe are changing to LED streetlights, which offer dramatic possibilities for controlling wasted li ght. Other communities are finding success with simply turning off portions of their public lighting after midnight. Even Paris, the famed “city of light,”which already turns off its monument lighting after 1 a.m., will this sum mer start to require its shops, offices and public buildings to turn off lights after 2 a.m. Though primarily designed to save energy, such reductions in ligh t will also go far in addressing light pollution. But we will never truly addre ss the problem of light pollution until we become aware of the irreplaceable va lue and beauty of the darkness we are losing.好，看完题目，我们来看一下具体该如何着手去写这篇文章，应该从哪几个点来展现作者的意图。
