　　Haste makes waste

　　“Haste makes waste” is an old English idiom which tells us that if you do things too quickly or too carelessly, you are likely to make more mistakes and end up with bad result. It has been true throughout the history and is absolutely true in the world today. I want to sustain my opinion throughout the following two examples.

　　One of the examples that I want to illustrate is the problem-causing construction of the stadium in my neighborhood which was constructed in order to hold the National Sports Game ten years ago. I learned from my mother that the stadium was built only for half a year in a great hurry and haste. At first, all of the people in our neighborhood were supremely amazed at the astonishing rapid rate and efficiency at building such a brand-new stadium with the most advanced technology in our nation. But a good time never lasted long, 2 months later, portion of the roof collapsed due to the heavy storm and rain. This leaded to a series of continuing problem such as a big strike of labors and the shortage of money in mending and rebuilding the “new” stadium. Until 1 year later, the stadium which had been previously considered as the first-class stadium over the country was reopened to public, unfortunately 8 months after the hold of the Nation Sport Game.

　　The failure of my test may also be regarded as a very persuasive example of “Haste makes waste”. Once I had a hard time preparing for an extremely complicated but important final-exam in my school. The fact is that I didn’t manage my schedule well and had to go over all the notes and papers in at most 6 hours, in other words, I didn’t have time to rest, to sleep, to have meals but just to keep working. This may seem to be an efficient method to accomplish so much work at the same time. But it turned out to be a terrible or even worse time for me. My head kept falling down and I felt drowsy and couldn’t help falling asleep. Actually I only studied for 3 hours in all, only half of the efficiency that I planned to reach. There couldn’t be an even worse time for me and I learned a hard but meaningful lesson from it.

　　In sum, nothing good can be done unless you do it with great clam and carefulness, if not, it will probably result in an even more costly and worthless consequence. Just as the example: most of the spelling mistakes are caused because people spell the words too quickly and carelessly without checking them again. Thus, what we should do now is try to be more careful and responsible of what we’re going to do and avoid those unnecessary mistakes.

　　那么，我们如何才能写好一篇高分的SSAT作文呢?

　　1.认真审题：审题是写好一篇作文的第一步，也是最关键的一步。SSAT的写作部分时间紧张，但是大家绝对不能在审题上缩减时间。

　　2.学会构思：好的构思是打动考官和校方的最好武器。如果没有一个独特的思路和视角，你的作文很难让考官和校方“眼前一亮”。

　　3.积累例证：考生要在平时注意积累大量的例证和写作素材。我们可以通过阅读书籍、收听新闻等方法来进行积累，另外还要学会观察自己的身边的事物，从生活中的小事中吸取灵感。

　　4.研读范文：我们建议考生在考试之前认真研读范文。研读范文的目的不是让大家简单了解写作的思路和结构，而是要尝试模仿范文的写作手法，主要才能力争高分。

　　5.锤炼语言：在我们中国学生学习英语的过程中，大家往往会被母语影响，从而写出一些中式的英文来。中式英文在考试中是非常大的忌讳。大家需要在不断练习地道的英语，摒弃中式英语。

　　同时，大家还要学会积累好词好句。好词往往不是一些不太常用的大词、偏词或难词，好词通常都是用得恰到好处的、用得很精彩的词汇。好句就是很多文学名著中的经典句或是名人名言。这些都需要在日常的练习中进行积累。

　　6.坚持练习：写作属于输出型的语言技能，这类技能最需要的就是坚持不懈的练习。我们从来没有听说有学生通过短期的学习就迅速突破了写作，所以大家一定要在考前坚持进行写作训练，打好写作基本功，这样才能在写作部分取得理想的分数。
