发布时间:2016-07-28 作者:美国本科留学小编 来源:美国留学
 普林斯顿大学招生办主任Janet Lavin Rapelye说:『我们希望在essay里看到的是我们的申请人掌控英语,而不是简单地使用英语,不管英语是否是他/她的第一语言,从他/她的文章中我们想要看到他/她一定的英语语言的知识积累,更重要的是他/她对于这些知识的辩证性见解,因此我们建议我们的申请人辩证性的、多样性的阅读。』
英文阅读很重要,有助于新SAT考高分,有助于写申请文书,有助于上美国大学后写论文。
以新SAT为例,新SAT阅读的考试时间为65分钟,共有52道选择题,需要阅读4篇独立文章和1篇双对比文章。考生若希望考出满意的分数,必须扎扎实实的阅读至少10本以上的SAT考试官方罗列的小说,以增加对美国社会和文化的深入理解。
阅读虽好,读进去却不易,对每一个申请国外大学的童靴来讲是一种挑战。下面留美网整理了CB推荐的各种阅读材料,供现在正值暑假的你充电(虽然你的暑假可能也在忙着学习)。
新SAT阅读材料推荐:
童靴们在平时也要养成阅读的好习惯,阅读范围最好能包含各类阅读体裁,涉猎文学、地理、天文、历史、经济、社会等多个领域,New York Times、Washington Post、经济学人等杂志和报刊都是不错的选择。在阅读过程中,除了关注文学作品本身内容外,还要注重把握作者传递的个人情感、背景知识和相关信息。
