MAP 还考写作?揭开 MAP 写作的真面目!提到 MAP 考试,大家首先想到的科目是 Math(数学)Reading(英语阅读)Language usage(英语语言运用)和 Science(科学),甚至在很多关于 MAP 的考试介绍文字中都没有见到“写作”的影子。似乎写作在 MAP 中的江湖地位不太重要。
实际上,很多国内外的国际学校,例如鼎石,在考试当天会给考生安排一场写作测试,检验考试的写作功底,作为录取的参考。MAP 的写作考试的话题通常也是议论文型的让考生谈自己考点的题目,但这和托福考试的议论文题目有明显的区别。
托福考试一般是让考生对某个客观的话题进行论述,比如你同不同意玩电脑游戏浪费时间这个观点?MAP 的写作一般是让考生谈自己的主观选择。比如,我们来看几道 MAP考试的真题。
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? If your mother wants to take you on a trip, but you want to stay at home and play with your friends, what should you choose?
如果你想拥有一种超能力,你希望是什么能力,为什么?如果妈妈想带你出去旅游,但你想留在家里和朋友玩儿,你打算怎么做?

从题目中不难看出,考试方要让考生做出自己主观的选择,所以这里除了考查英语语言的写作能力以外,还要从考生的选择中评判考生的某种能力或者个性特点,比如想象力,同理心等。
所以考生在进行作文的内容构思时,要慎重考虑。从语言的角度,根据之前学生交的作文,总结一些常见的语法错误。各位同学争取在写作中先规避常见语法错误的发生。
