历年SAT写作考试9类话题大汇总

SAT作文分类六：如何衡量个人的成六. 逆境，挫折，失败。

6. Do you think that ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help us discover who we are?

7. Do people learn more from losing than winning?(2008.5)

这类题目例子很丰富，论证也相对比较容易。无非是讲挫折和失败对人的影响（无论是正面还是负面的），以及失败与成功的辨证关系。我相信许多人在准备SAT的过程中，也经历过不少坎坷，如果你懂得如何把坎坷转换成动力和坚韧的意志，那这篇作文应该只是小菜一碟。

SAT作文分类七：英雄，名人，领导。

1. Are leaders necessarily people who are most capable of leadership? (2005.12)

2. Is society’s admiration for famous people beneficial or harmful? (2005.10)

4. Should we admire heroes but not celebrities? (2007.10)

5. Should heroes be defined who say what they think when we lack the courage to say so?

讲到个人崇拜，英雄名人对社会的作用，大家可以结合历史与当今社会的一些现象谈谈，不管怎么说，在你的例子里面准备几个有名的政治家是相当必要的，它不仅能体现领导能力，还能阐述伟人对社会历史的推动作用。

SAT作文分类八：改变。

5. Is it better to change one's attitude than to change one's circumstances? (2007.1)

6. What motivates people to change?

7. Do changes make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?

8. Is the world changing for better?

马克思说过，物质是运动的，万事万物无时无刻不在变化。我们从变化中得到什么，失去什么，变革与发展又对社会产生什么样的影响，都是我们应该思考。虽然在作文里面我们要一边倒地去支持一个观点，但是在平时的思考中辨证看待问题无疑对逻辑思维有很大的提高和帮助。
