SAT考试写作满分的秘诀

Assignment: Is our ability to change ourselves unlimited, or are there limits on our ability to make important changes in our lives? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on the issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

As Richard Stiller once said, We can all change ourselves - our behaviors, our goals, our relationships - because our potential for change is unlimited. There are no limits to the ability to make important changes. As a famous adage says, Anything is possible, if you just set your mind to it. This universal notion is exemplified through history and literature.

One compelling illustration that change is unlimited is seen in the brave souls of the Civil Rights movement. In 1961, Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus, where blacks were forced to sit. Although she was arrested and jailed, her efforts led to the development of the Montgomery bus boycott, which lasted over a year. Then, in 1962, four college freshmen went into a restaurant and held a non-violent sit-in. News spread throughout the nation, and in two months, hundreds of college students participated in non-violent sit-ins. The Greensboro lunch boys' efforts led to the development of the student non-violent coordinating committee. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most famous leaders of the Civil Rights movement, organized many nonviolent protests. His unforgettable and inspiring speech entitled, I have a dream", encouraged thousands to stand up for what they believe in. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and the Greensboro lunch boys wanted change in their lives and the lives around them. They were unlimited in their efforts and fought hard for the change they desired.

Alice Paul, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were three women who worked hard for change they wished to see in the women's suffrage movement. They led parades, protests and even wrote letters on the incorrectness of sexism. Ultimately, they achieved their goal of passing the 17th amendment, granting women the right to vote. These three brave and courageous women fought consistently for the change they wanted in their lives, until it was achieved.

A final illustration that change is unlimited occurred in Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. The protagonist, Hester Prynne, commits adultery and is forced to wear an embroidered letter "A" on her bosom. Hester is shunned from the town and perceived as an outcast. However, Hester's giving and helpful personality is revealed and soon her "A" stands for "able" instead of "adulteress". Hester wanted the Puritan town to see a change and a different side to Hester's life, and through her hard work, she achieved that goal.

As seen in the Civil Rights movement, the women's suffrage movement and The Scarlet Letter, change is unlimited to those who wished to obtain it. As Sir Edward Bulwer once said, "Improvement can only be achieved by great change”.
