-SAT Essay 주제

[학생 작문] Today, we are living in [1] the place where we can rapidly contact [2] to each other easily. There are [3] plenty of convenient [4] instruments which [5] help our daily [6] life. [7] Then, how the new instruments could be invented? [8] People like Edison and [9] Light brother who had always come out with the new ideas that other people haven’t thought of made it.

To progress [10] with depth, looking at things from new points of view is very important. Of course, people [11] based on the current way [12] can lead the companies or groups, but [13] they can never make new impressive ideas. Edison [14] is a good figure to show who was very creative and had questions on everything he saw. Having attended only elementary school, Edison was not [15] the ideal person for the normal community. He was somewhat different from other children. He [16] asked his mother, a school teacher, [17] everything including things [18] which we think of as stupid questions. But with [19] the different view from others, Edison later invented so many useful things that [20] can help our lives. He not only invented filament for the electric bulb, but also [21] gave hints to future generations to make a telephone.



[22] Light brother is another good example [23] of proofing that new ideas can make a huge progress. [24] When other people didn’t try to make the plane but just wanted to play with toy plane, Light brother actually tried to make things to fly. Light brother, inventors of the first air plane, had failed lots of times to have success. Finally, they made a plane which is very needful instrument.

Not only [25] Edison [26] helped and improved out lives, but also [27] there are so many scientist, artist, or in any people from entire fields, helped our lives by [28] coming up with the new ideas. [29] When people satisfy with their current way of doing things, they can never [30] grow up and improve. [31] Having a new sight on things and thinking differently, we can easily [32] make progress and achieve huge advancements.

에세이에 사용된 아이디어와 예제들은 매우 좋다. 그것들이 글쓴이의 의견을 잘 뒷받침하고 있다. 그러나 아이디어를 표현하는 방식에 문제가 많다. 에세이의 절반 가까이를 수정했다. 문장을 어떻게 바꾸었는지 잘 살펴보고 문장 구성력을 높이기 위해 더 노력하기 바란다.
