ACT写作知识点有很多,只有在方方面面都有所考虑才能拿到满意的成绩,ACT不同于以往检测学生对所学习知识掌握程度的终结性考试,而是一种着眼于对学生学习能力、性向和适应性测验的配置性考试。出题方式比较灵活,考验对高中知识的掌握和逻辑能力,下面A+国际教育小编就为大家介绍ACT写作知识点和相关的考试技巧。
语言 Language
包括词汇,句型,修辞以及遵守语言规范等。复杂文本可能会选用一些比较生僻的学术词汇,或者是古旧词汇,句子结构可能也会使用一些非现代英语管用的早起英语句型,文中会包含许多讽刺,比喻,反语,诙谐等。
比如61C第三篇第二段:
When I was five, I would not go to bed willingly because something cameinto my room.
My sister Amy, two years old, was asleep in the other bed. What did she know?
She was innocent of evil. There was no messiness in her, no roughness for things to cling to, only a charming and charmed innocence that seemed then to protect her, an innocence I needed but couldn't muster.
Since Amy was asleep, furthermore, and since when I needed someone most I was afraid to stir enough to wake her, she was useless.
文中出现的“charming and charmed innocence”不仅自身很有艺术,也很值得学生玩味的,而对这两个词的理解直接影响文章第四题的选择。
抽象性 Abstractness
文本根据复杂程度不同,对抽象的概念进行描述的篇幅也不一致。对抽象概念的理解对有效理解文章意义重大。
以60E的第一篇第八、九段为例:
“This Place pulls you down and holds you,” Sunday had said. “Delta, don’tyou see, it pulls you down and hold you, silent and safe.”
What Sunday said that night was condemnation of a place, but Delta absorbedit all. She was of Wake County and caught in that understanding of herself.Intoxicated with saying what had long been felt, they both spoke freely and allbarriers
fell. …
文中显然“being safe”对于Summer来说是“a bad thing”, 又提到Delta “was of WakeCounty”这些抽象的概念和思想的表达是考生理解Summer和Delta这两姐妹爱恨交织的情感纠葛的关键。
知识要求 Knowledge Demands
文本分析,生活经历,文学与文化的知识要求复杂文本会比较多地引申,引用其他文章和文献的思想或内容,要求从文化,历史背景中进行解读,同时还需要读者具有丰富的人生阅历。
61C最后两段:
The world did not have me in mind. It was a coincidental collection ofthings and people, of items, and I myself was one such item—a child walking upthe sidewalk, whom anyone could see or ignore.
The things in the world did notnecessarily cause my overwhelming feelings; the feelings were inside me, beneathmy skin, behind my ribs, within my skull.
They were even, to some extent, undermy control.I could be connected to the outer world by reason.
If I chose, or I couldyield to what amounted to a narrative fiction, to a show in light projected on the room’s blue walls.
这些作者对内在生活的感知对于很多美国学生来说都是不熟悉的,更不用说国际学生理解的难度了。
