有些同學在SAT寫作練習中為了湊文章的單詞數總是喜歡把簡單的句式復雜化，把一個本應該簡潔的表達方式寫得很羅嗦，甚至把一個意思用幾個相近的單詞反復說明，我們一定要在SAT寫作練習中避免這些重復。

　　1. 盡量避免重復使用同樣的詞匯。或者有的時候雖然詞匯沒有重復，但意思卻有重復。這時候可以做一些簡化的工作。例如下面這個例子：

　　The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size. Large 對一個farm來說就是size方面的large，所以in size可以去掉，改為：The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.

　　更簡潔的表達方式為：My grandfather grew up on a large farm.

　　2. 有時一個詞組可以用一個更簡單的單詞來替換，例如： My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents farm.

　　這里的over and over again就可以改為repeatedly，顯得更為簡潔： My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents farm.

　　以上提到的問題在很多同學的SAT寫作練習中都有發生，復雜的句式讓人讀起來都覺得很繞口，SAT寫作中我們可以通過多舉例來說明問題，而不應該發生這種重復現象。
