SWT一直都是PTE考试的重中之重，由于PTE的交叉打分机制，SWT一定程度上也决定着阅读分数的高低。但因为机经命中率比较高，考生往往忽略了练习的重要性，背一遍机经就去考试了。考试的时候如果纯靠回忆，很容易在高度紧张的时候忘记，而且一旦题目稍有变化将会不知所措，大大影响作文成绩。所以在备考阶段，对每篇SWT真题进行透彻的学习和分析，才是正确的复习方法。

然而，很多同学经常向我们抱怨的一个问题就是，即使知道SWT需要认真对待，积极复习。但是当细化到每一个题目时，有事会感到无从下手，不知道如何读好，写好每一篇题目。今天我们就通过真题的讲解，为大家总结出如何有效快速的解答SWT的题目。

在做SWT的练习的过程中，我们需要遵循下面几个步骤：

• 读没一段话+找出关键词（3min）

• 将每一段写一句话（6min）

• 组合句子并修改（1min）

我们通过一篇高频真题来为大家分析，怎样使用上面三个步骤：

先让我们看一下全文：

When Christopher Columbus arrived at Hispaniola during his first transatlanticvoyage in the year A.D. 1492, the island had already been settled by Native Americans for about 5,000 years. The occupants in Columbus’s time were a group of Arawak Indians called Tainos who lived by farming, were organized into five chiefdoms, and numbered around half a million (the estimates range from 100,000to 2,000,000). Columbus initially found them peaceful and friendly, until heand his Spaniards began mistreating them.

Unfortunately for the Tainos, they had gold, which the Spanish coveted but didn’t want to goto the work of mining themselves. Hence the conquerors divided up the islandand its Indian population among individual Spaniards, who put the Indians towork as virtual slaves, accidentally infected them with Eurasian diseases, and murdered them. By the year 1519, 27 years after Columbus’s arrival, that original population of half a million had been reduced to about 11,000, most of whom died that year of smallpox to bring the population down to 3,000.

这篇文章被分为了两个段落，我们先进行前两个步骤：

• 首先，我们先通读全段，记下关键词及新的信息点，并去掉细节（解释，说明，举例的成分）并删除之前出现过的信息点

• 关键词包括：名词，实义动词及一些形容词

对于第一段，我们可以找出下列关键词

When Christopher Columbus arrived at Hispaniola during his first transatlantic voyage in the year A.D. 1492, the island had already been settled by Native Americans for about 5,000 years. The occupantsin Columbus’s time were a group of Arawak Indians called Tainos who lived by farming, were organized into five chiefdoms, and numbered around half a million (the estimates range from 100,000to 2,000,000). Columbus initially found them peacefuland friendly, until he and his Spaniards began mistreating them.

• 接着，我们需要把选择好的关键词练成一句话

Columbus initially found Taino peaceful andfriendly until he and his Spaniards began mistreating them.

同理：第二段我们可以找出下面一些关键词

Unfortunatelyfor the Tainos, they had gold, which the Spanish coveted but didn’t want to go to the work of mining themselves. Hencethe conquerors divided up the island and its Indian population among individua lSpaniards, who put the Indians to work as virtual slaves, accidentally infected them with Eurasian diseases, and murdered them. Bythe year 1519, 27 years after Columbus’s arrival, that original population of half a million had been reduced to about 11,000, most of whom died that year of smallpox to bring the population down to 3,000.

• 接着，我们需要把选择好的关键词练成一句话

As Tainos had gold, conquerors put the Indians towork as virtual slaves, accidently infected them with Eurasian diseases, andmurdered them, making their population reduced

当我们把各段的总结写好之后，我们现在需要做的就是把这些总结性的句子连接起来，常用的连接方式有：

• 连接词

And, But, Although, Because, So等等

需要注意however,moreover, thus, therefore, hence这几个词都是副词，不是连词，无法连接两个完整的句子

• 从句

经常使用的从句有：定语从句及宾语从句

第一段：

Columbusinitially found Taino peaceful and friendly until he and his Spaniards beganmistreating them.

第二段：

AsTainos had gold, conquerors put the Indians to work as virtual slaves, accidently infected them with Eurasian diseases, and murdered them, making their population reduced

合成段：

Columbus initially found Taino peaceful and friendly, but as Tainos had gold, conquerors put the Indians to work as virtual slaves, accidently infected them with Eurasian diseases, and murdered them, making their population reduced
