首先，SWT是要求5-75个字，写一句话。而SST并不要求只用一句话总结，只要控制在50-70个字，几句话都是可以的！很多学生不仔细看题型介绍就认为这两个题型要求是一样的。在考试的时候绞尽脑汁把SST写成一句话，简直得不偿失。所以，准确地了解不同题型的特点对刚开始接触pte的同学尤为重要！
SWT，因为只能写一句话，所以一般都要加上连接词，把重要的信息串联起来。
以近期真题“Small World”为例，原文如下：
In such an environment, warfare is no longer purely directed against the military potential of adversarial states. It is rather directed at infiltrating all areas of their societies and to threaten their existences. The comparatively easy access to weapons of mass destruction, in particular relatively low-cost biological agents, is of key concern. Both governmenta land non-governmental actors prefer to use force in a way that can be characterized as “unconventional”or also as the “small wars”.War waged according to conventions is an interstate phenomenon. The “small war”is the archetype of war, in which the protagonists acknowledge no rules and permanently try to violate what conventionsdo exist. The protagonists of the “small war”observe neither international standards nor armscontrol agreements. They make use of territories where they do not have to fear anysanctions because there is no functioning state to assume charge of suchsanctions or because the state in question is too weak to impose such sanctions. This type of war does not provide for any warning time. It challenges not onlythe external security of the nation states and international community, butalso their internal safety.
刚读完这篇文章，有些同学一头雾水，不知所云。可是细看我们发现，这段话就是在解释什么是SmallWar。了解到这一点后，其实我们在读文章的时候就可以把重要的信息记录下来：“unconventional”，“small wars”，acknowledge no rules，try to violate what conventions do exist, observe neitherinternational standards nor arms control agreements, do not have to fear anysanctions, challenge internal safety.
考试的时候，先把这些关键信息打出来，接下来要做的事情就是用连接词把这写关键信息串联起来。
SWT参考答案如下：
The nature of “SmallWar”is acknowledging no rules and violatingconventional standards without the fear of sanctions, which ultimatelychallenges the internal safety of the country.
细心的同学应该发现，参考答案并不是很长，但是已经包含了所有的关键点。所以，SWT的答案并不是以长取胜的。
设想一下，如果这道题是SST，我们听了一段话以后记下了这些关键信息：“unconventional”，“small wars”，acknowledge no rules，try to violate whatconventions do exist, observe neither international standards nor arms controlagreements, do not have to fear any sanctions, challenge internal safety.
我们应该用几个简单句把这些关键信息包含在内：
SST参考答案如下：
“Small war”, which is unconventional,acknowledges no rules and violates conventions. Additionally, protagonists ofsmall wars observe neither international standards nor arms control agreementsand do not have to fear any sanctions. As a result, “small war” challenges theinternal safety of the country.
