　　如何应对ACT写作改革后的首场考试

　　ACT写作要改革了!在新SAT改革之后，ACT也按捺不住，终于在官网上放出了改革的消息。

　　ACT previously announced enhancements to the ACT test beginning in September 2015 that includemodifications to the writing test and the inclusion of new readiness scores andindicators. These enhancements will require minor modification to the ACT scorereports.

　　从官方的信息可以看出，ACT写作将会出现在2015年9月份的考试中。那改革后的写作题目有何变化，评分和之前写作有哪些区别，今天我们就简要的分析一下。

　　一：评分方式

　　官方中有这样一段描述：

　　Taking the ACT with writing will provide you and theschools to which you have ACT report scores with additional scores.When you take the writing test, you'll receive a writing test score on a scale of 1-36 andfour writing domain scores(Ideas and Analysis, Development and Support, Organization, and Language Useand Conventions), each scored on a scale of 2-12. An image of your essay willbe available to your high school and the colleges to which you have ACT reportyour scores from that test date.

　　Taking the writingtest does not affect your subject area scores or your Composite score. However, without a writing test score, no EnglishLanguage Arts (ELA) score will be reported.

　　Two trainedreaders will score your essay on a scale of 1-6 in each of the four writingdomains. Each domain scorerepresents the sum of the two readers' scores. If the readers' ratings disagreeby more than one point, a third reader will evaluate the essay and resolve thediscrepancy. Your writing score is calculated from your domain scores and isreported on a scale of 1-36. Your domain scores do not necessarily add up toyour reported writing score.

　　我们可以看出，ACT作文的分数由之前的满分12分，变成了现在的36分。并且评分人会从四个维度(Ideas and Analysis, Development and Support,Organization, and Language Use and Conventions) 结合作文给出1-12分。

　　和之前一样的是，改革后的作文一样是选考内容，并且分数不计入总分。但是我们在考试的时候最好还是要考写作，因为申请的学校很重视。

　　二、题目呈现方式

　　改革前：2015.6ACT写作题目

　　Many communities are considering adoptingcurfews for high school students. Some educators and parents favor curfews becausethey believe it will encourage students to focus more on their homework andmake them more responsible. Others feel curfews are up to families, not thecommunity, and that students today need freedom to work and participate insocial activities in order to mature properly.

　　Do you think that communities should impose curfews on high schoolstudents?

　　In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write abouteither one of the two points of view given, or you may present a differentpoint of view on this question. Use specific reasons and examples to supportyour position.

　　改革后：官方给出的改革样题

　　从形式上，改革前有一个excerpt 用来引出题目，给题目提供一个背景，然后是一个assignment，根据题目要求，自己发挥写一篇，摘要中给出的无非就是同意不同意的两种观点。可以说，改革前和托福考试很像。只需要我们选择一个观点，给出几个理由，让后自己去论证就可以了。

　　而改革后的作文，同样有一个excerpt，来提出背景，不同的是，观点有之前的2个变成了3个，对于观点的选择，题目的指示是“Your perspective may be in full agreement with any of theothers, in partial agreement, or wholly different. Whatever the case, supportyour ideas with logical reasoning and detailed, persuasive examples.”所以，很多同学会有所迷惑。其实如果我们仔细的去分析3个观点会发现，这所谓的3个观点可以分成2个阵营，还是同意和不同意。比如上面的这个题目。

　　观点1属于描述机器的坏处。而观点2,3都是侧重机器的好处。 所以还是分成2个阵营。可见，改革后的写作，在题目呈现方式上只是个“纸老虎”。注意，这里是“呈现方式”上，重要的是改革后的写作方式，在内容上和之前有很大区别。我们在下次的文章中再具体呈现。

　　以上整理的就是如何应对ACT写作改革后的第一场考试，希望对考生们有所帮助。
