比如

Prompt

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

The discovery that someone we admire has done something wrong is always disappointing and disillusioning. Yet even when people we consider heroes have been tarnished by their faults, they are no less valuable than people who appear perfect. When we learn that an admired person, even one who is seemingly perfect, has behaved in less than admirable ways, we discover a complex truth: great ideas and great deeds come from imperfect people like ourselves.

Assignment:

Do we benefit from learning about the flaws of people we admire and respect? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

SAT写作考试时间为25分钟，在这25分钟的时间内，考生需要理解所给的SAT写作真题题目的含义，并写出一篇结构完整的.文章来。由于SAT 是针对高中生升大学的考试，因此写作话题不需要具备单项的专业背景知识，但话题涉及范围却非常广泛，包括文学、艺术、运动、政治、技术、科学、历史及时事。
