■ 引導式寫作─參考範例
It never occurred to me that I could really help somebody in need. One day, I saw a car accident in the countryside. The driver had hit a tree. She was hurt and couldn’t get out of her car. I pulled her out and called for an ambulance. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived quickly. The driver thanked me and gave me a heartwarming smile. Seeing this, I felt very happy and smiled back. The ambulance driver complimented me for my timely help.
I was filled with excitement after the incident not only because I had helped someone in need, but also because I was able to reach out a helping hand to someone without hesitation and without fear. As a result, I learned that giving is more blessed than receiving. From then on, I decided to become a doctor. For me, what I like most about being a doctor is the sense of accomplishment I feel when I help others. (159 words)
■ 參考範文─基礎篇
When I was a high school student, I helped a foreigner. One day when I was enjoying my noodles in a small shop, a foreigner came in. In English, he told the owner that he wanted beef noodles, but the owner didn’t understand it at all. The owner tried to communicate with him in Taiwanese, but the foreigner did not follow him. Therefore, I helped them solve this situation by doing my best to translate for them. They both thanked me for my kindness and said that my English was very good.
That was the first time I spoke English to a foreigner. I felt very happy after I walked out of the shop. I never thought that my English could really help people. After that, I liked English better, and I decided to learn it better. (137 words)
文章評論
1. 每段皆有主題:第一段利用 5W+1H 清楚的敘述事情的經過;第二段簡單的說明自己的感受及這件事情造成的影響。
2. 內容的一貫性及承接:第一段除了第一句及第二句有用到表示時間的字詞外,並沒有用到時間信號,不過因為後面的內容都是連續性的動作,較不至於混淆,但是若能加上一些時間信號,將會更加順暢。兩段之間利用 I spoke English to a foreigner. 這句話作為承接。
3. 細節陳述:有將事情發生的過程敘述出來,但是用字較為普通,也沒有具體呈現受幫助者的反應,只略微說明他們很感謝作者。
4. 句型變化:包括副詞子句、名詞子句、複合句等,尚稱有變化。
5. 總評:本文有主題,文句轉承尚稱流暢,文法、拼字、標點無誤,文章內容較為平淡,大約可得 9 至 10 分。
■ 參考範文─進階篇
I once helped a foreigner with my poor English when I was a first-year student in senior high school. One day, I went to a mom-and-pop beef noodles shop for lunch with my best friend, Carol. No sooner had we gobbled up our food than we heard a tall blonde foreigner arguing with the store owner. “I want beef noodles,” the foreigner told the owner. Unfortunately, English was all Greek to the owner, so she couldn’t communicate with the foreigner at all.
At this moment, Carol signaled me to help them. Feeling afraid and shy, I stood up and volunteered to solve this awkward situation by translating English into Taiwanese and vice versa. When the foreigner finally received the steaming noodles, she thanked me with a heartwarming smile and complimented me on my fluent English. Hearing this, I flushed with embarrassment and pleasure. After stepping out of the shop, I was so thrilled that I screamed and jumped. In my life, I had never talked to a foreigner, and from then on, I became more confident about my English, and I made up my mind to master it in the future. (191 words)
文章評論
1. 每段皆有主題:第一段利用 5W+1H 清楚的敘述事情的經過;第二段簡單的說明自己的感受及這件事情造成的影響。
2. 內容的一貫性及承接:文中每一句都有時間信號,清楚的交代整個事件發生的過程;兩段之間用分詞構句 After stepping out of the store 來連接,表明事件之後,作者個人的感受及後續的影響。
3. 細節陳述:利用具體精確的動詞,如 gobble up、signal、volunteer 等描述當事人的動作變化及心態;修飾字詞如 awkward、steaming noodles、heartwarming smile 生動地呈現事件的畫面。
4. 句型變化:利用副詞字句、同位語、倒裝句、分詞構句等,恰如其分的陳述整個過程。
5. 總評:本文有主題,文句轉承流暢,文法、拼字、標點無誤,具體說明細節,不過內容創意較不足,大約可得 13 至 15 分。
