在PTE写作考试中，有两种题型---- Essay和Summarize written text。两种题型的分配数量是：

1) 3 SWT + 1 Essay, (50 min), 目前最常见的情况

2) 2 SWT + 2 Essay, (60 min), 较常见

3) 2 SWT + 1 Essay, (40 min), 一般只在第一次考试时出现。

比起Essay来说，SWT的难度更大。因为，SWT的内容固定，格式固定，字数固定，所以，有更低的容错率。所以，今天我们来说一说，怎么能在SWT上得高分。

· 格式：5-75个字，一个大写字母，一个句号。

· 语法：注意三单，主谓一致，时态

我们来看一道例题：

Thirty healthy adults performed a gambling task on two separate occasions, once after receiving a drug called L-DOPA and once after receiving a placebo. The task required subjects to choose between safe and risky options that led to monetary gains and losses. Sometimes, the subjects could choose between a small reward or a gamble where there were equal chances of winning a larger reward or getting nothing. Other times, subjects could accept a small loss or choose a gamble where there were equal chances of losing a larger amount or losing nothing. During the testing, subjects were repeatedly asked. “How happy are you at this moment?”

The researchers found that:

• Subjects took more risks to try to get bigger rewards afterreceiving L-DOPA but not placebo.

• After receiving L-DOPA, subjects chose more risky options regardless of how much larger the potential reward was compared to the safe alternative.

• Subjects were happier after winning a small reward while on L-DOPA than they were winning the same reward while on a placebo. On a placebo, happiness was higher after large rewards than after small rewards, but on L-DOPA subjects were as happy about small rewards as they were about large rewards.

考试中，一篇文章10分钟时间。时间分配一般是：

1）3分钟读文本，记下关键词，

2）6分钟组成一句话，

3）1分钟查语法，词汇和拼写。

在记关键词的时候，要以名词为主，3min时间内，我们能记下的关键词，有以下这些，• thirty adults

• gambling

• a drug called L-DOPA

• a placebo

• monetary gains and losses

• subjects were repeatedly asked, “how happy are you at this moment?”

• bigger rewards after receiving L-DOPA

• chose more risky options (while on L-DOPA)

• happier after winning a small reward while on L-DOPA

连接两句话的方式有以下这几种：

1) 连接词：and, but, although

2) 从句：that, who, which, while

3) 动名词：doing

4) 分号：注意分号后空一格，并且分号后第一个字母是小写

给大家介绍一个SWT的模版，

• While/Although/Since/As, ____第一句____,

• _____第二句_____,

• and/whereas/so/because/but, ___第三句___,

• which means ___第四句___，

• ; ___第五句___.

在用模版的时候，我们可以把想写的句子先写好，然后直接把成分插入模版内。注意的一点是，不一定每一篇文章都要写5句，我们可以根据内容选择性地用模版。

我们来看一个学生的答案：

Thirty adults participated in agambling experiment where one group took L-DOPA and another group took a placebo, the results showed that the participants who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure.(34 words)

这位同学犯了SWT最为致命的一个错误，就是用一个逗号直接连接了两个句子。那么我们来看看，如何用模版来改一下，

第一种方法：模版第一句+第二句

While thirty adults participated in a gambling experiment where one group took L-DOPA and another group took a placebo, the results showed that the participants who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure.

第二种方法：模版第二句+第三句

Thirty adults participated in a gambling experiment where one group took L-DOPA and another group took a placebo, and the results showed that the participants who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure.

第三种方法：模版第二句+第五句

Thirty adults participated in a gambling experiment where one group took L-DOPA and another group took a placebo, which showed that the participants who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure.

第四种方法：模版第二句+第六句

Thirty adults participated in a gambling experiment where one group took L-DOPA and another group took a placebo; the results showed that the participants who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure.

给大家一个标准答案：

While thirty adults participated in a gambling experiment, the experiment showed that those who took L-DOPA took more risks and experienced more pleasure compared with those who only took a placebo. (31 words)
