IELTS · 寫作攻略最後修訂 2026/11/09
這篇筆記：主題單字下集：整理文化藝術與媒體、犯罪與監獄、城鄉與住房、社會問題（健康、長壽、貧富、風險）、經濟商業與廣告的核心詞彙、我作文裡的原句、正反論點與萬用論點表。
✦ 這篇筆記帶你看
這是主題單字的下集。上集整理了科技、環境、教育與工作，這篇接著整理我 Google 文件裡後半部的主題：文化藝術與媒體、犯罪與監獄、城鄉與住房、社會問題（健康、長壽、貧富、風險）、經濟商業與廣告。
格式跟上集一樣：每個主題有核心詞彙表（附我作文裡寫過的句子）、正反論點，以及一個可以直接套用的主題句＋例子。句子若有文法問題，我會在旁邊標出更自然的寫法，大家可以順便複習文法。
一、這篇怎麼用
這五個主題的共同點是：論點常常可以互相借用。例如「經濟弱勢族群負擔不起」可以用在博物館收費、加稅、買房三題；「心理健康」可以用在藝術經費、冒險、長壽三題。所以建議先把每個主題的單字表看過一遍，最後再看第七段的「跨主題萬用論點表」，把它們串起來。
學姊提醒：不必每個主題都背到滾瓜爛熟。我的做法是先挑自己最不熟的兩個主題（我當時是犯罪和城鄉），各寫一篇完整作文，再用其他主題做「只寫想點」的練習。
二、文化藝術與媒體：藝術經費、博物館、藝人薪水、紙本與數位
文化藝術類我寫過：政府該不該砍藝術預算給教育、博物館該不該收費（正反兩個角度都寫過）、多元文化社會的優缺點、藝人是不是薪水過高、未來還會不會有人買紙本書報。
核心詞彙表
| 英文 | 中文 | 常用搭配 | 我作文裡的句子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| free admission / free entrance | 免費入場 | offer free admission、free entrance to museums | households with lower incomes can benefit from free entrance to museums（Task 21 訂正） |
| maintenance costs | 維護成本 | cover maintenance costs | expenses such as staff salaries and maintenance costs are high（Task 21 改寫） |
| preserve culture / cultural heritage | 保存文化 | preserve arts and culture | the earnings from tickets provide museums with enough budget to preserve the arts and culture |
| engage in art | 接觸藝術 | motivate people to engage in art | it motivates people to engage in art since it enables more people to visit those places for free |

可用論點
| 立場 | 論點 | 可以用的例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 博物館免費 | ① 鼓勵更多人接觸藝術、文化與歷史 ② 低收入家庭也有好去處 | 台灣有免費入場的國立博物館，一直很吸引人 |
| 博物館收費 | ① 門票收入可維護館藏與設施 ② 控制人潮，吸引外國觀光客帶動經濟 | 修復文物、清潔展場、人事費用都很高 |
| 反對砍藝術預算 | ① 藝術是很多人紓壓的來源，影響心理健康 ② 許多人仰賴藝術相關產業工作 | 博物館、古蹟、藝術中心、藝術教育的工作者 |
| 藝人薪水過高 | ① 扭曲價值觀，讓大眾過度重視外表與奢華生活 ② 讓年輕人不想專心讀書 | 應該高薪的職業：需要高學歷的醫生、教授、律師；危險職業如警察、消防員、軍人 |
| 紙本不會消失 | ① 有收藏價值 ② 著作權規範會越來越嚴，網路未必免費 | 把報紙上和自己有關的報導剪下來收藏 |
可套用的主題句＋例子
主題句：Furthermore, free tickets can also make museums good entertainment places for both individuals and families.
我實際寫的例子（Task 21 訂正版）：In particular, households with lower incomes can benefit from free entrance to museums since it is hard for people with economic disadvantages to make ends meet, let alone purchase tickets for entertainment purposes. The National History Museum in Taiwan, which is free of charge, is a good example of this matter.
我實際寫的例子（Task 21 訂正版）：In particular, households with lower incomes can benefit from free entrance to museums since it is hard for people with economic disadvantages to make ends meet, let alone purchase tickets for entertainment purposes. The National History Museum in Taiwan, which is free of charge, is a good example of this matter.
Task 21 四項都拿 7，總分 7。原稿這段錯了好幾個小地方：income 少 s、entrance of 要改 to、economical disabilities 用字錯誤、make end meets 要改 make ends meet、博物館名稱前少 the。論點和例子本身沒問題，扣分都在語言上。順帶一提，這篇開頭寫了「is a hot issue」，太口語，建議改成「has received considerable public attention」。
三、犯罪與監獄：坐牢還是教育？誰該負責？
犯罪題我寫過兩篇：「罪犯該關進監獄還是接受教育訓練」以及「小孩犯罪該罰小孩還是罰父母」。犯罪題的單字很固定，背熟一組就能應付大部分題目。
核心詞彙表
| 英文 | 中文 | 常用搭配 | 我作文裡的句子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| offenders / lawbreakers / criminals / culprits | 罪犯 | young offenders、juvenile offenders | putting lawbreakers in prison can discourage the public from conducting inappropriate behavior |
| commit a crime | 犯罪 | — | those holding similar intentions to break laws will be deterred from committing a crime |
| crime rate | 犯罪率 | lower / decrease the crime rate | The crime rate in Singapore is relatively low compared with other nations worldwide |
| deter | 嚇阻 | be deterred from + V-ing | 同上 |
| imprisonment / be sent to prison | 監禁／入獄 | prison 當「機構」時不可數：in prison | Whereas some people look upon imprisonment as a viable way… |
| rehabilitation / education and training | 矯正／教育訓練 | provide offenders with education and training | complete education grants lawbreakers opportunities to learn life skills |
| life skills / make ends meet | 生活技能／維持生計 | — | education enables those who commit a crime capable of finding jobs and making ends meet（enable 要接 to V：enables them to find jobs） |
| tell right from wrong | 明辨是非 | — | when receiving thorough moral and legal education, criminals can tell right from wrong |
| dysfunctional families | 失能家庭 | be born and raised in… | （作文裡用來說明家庭教育的重要） |
| shoulder the responsibility | 承擔責任 | — | everyone ought to shoulder the responsibilities by themselves, and young offenders should not be an exception |
| impose punishment on | 施加懲罰 | impose punishment on parents | when the authorities impose punishment on juvenile offenders’ guardians, it can motivate the public to pay more attention to educating their offspring |
| drug trafficking | 販毒 | — | Gangsters tend to enlighten students to do drug trafficking because they can easily avoid the police’s attention（enlighten 是「啟發」，這裡要改 lure 或 recruit） |
犯罪題有兩個文法要特別注意：research、legislation、prison、jail 在這類語境下都當不可數，不要加 s 或冠詞（be sent to prison、research shows）；police 本身當複數用（the police are），一個警察是 a police officer。我在另一篇寫過「If those young people are prisoned」，prison 不是動詞，要改成 are imprisoned 或 are sent to prison。
可用論點
| 立場 | 論點 | 可以用的例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 支持坐牢 | ① 限制自由，保護大眾 ② 嚇阻其他想犯罪的人 | 新加坡法規嚴格，犯罪率相對低 |
| 支持教育訓練 | ① 學到生活技能，出獄後找得到工作 ② 法治與品德教育，學會明辨是非，降低再犯 | 許多罪犯來自失能家庭，缺乏基本法律知識 |
| 小孩犯罪罰小孩 | ① 每個人都該為自己負責，對受害者公平 ② 避免成年人利用未成年人犯罪 | 幫派利用學生運毒，因為學生比較不會引起警方注意 |
| 小孩犯罪罰父母 | ① 小孩缺乏判斷力，不了解後果 ② 促使父母更重視子女教育 | 父母較清楚行為的對錯 |
可套用的主題句＋例子
主題句：On the other hand, as far as I am concerned, giving culprits education and training can bring more benefits to individuals and societies.
我寫的支持理由（Prison & Education）：Firstly, complete education grants lawbreakers opportunities to learn life skills. … Secondly, when receiving thorough moral and legal education, criminals can tell right from wrong, furthermore decreasing the crime rate.
我寫的支持理由（Prison & Education）：Firstly, complete education grants lawbreakers opportunities to learn life skills. … Secondly, when receiving thorough moral and legal education, criminals can tell right from wrong, furthermore decreasing the crime rate.
學姊提醒：Both views 題型的「別人觀點」那一段，也要寫到兩三行的例子，而且最後一句要扣回題目。我寫犯罪題時常常把「對方觀點」寫得太短，整篇就變得不平衡。
四、城鄉與住房：都市化、房屋短缺、買房還是租房
城鄉與住房是我單字整理最完整的一個主題。我寫過：鄉村人口移居城市是好是壞（Task 6）、新房子該蓋在城市還是鄉村、都市人跟鄰居越來越疏遠、汽車造成大塞車，以及「為什麼有些國家的人一定要買房」（Task 41，總分 7.5）。
核心詞彙表

|---|---|---|---|
| urban areas / metropolitan areas | 都市 | urbanization、urban centres | （筆記）urban area、metropolitan area、cityscape、urban landscape |
| rural areas / the countryside | 鄉村 | 注意：suburban 是「市郊」，不等於鄉村 | 我在 Task 6 把 rural 寫成 suburban，意思跑掉了 |
| residents / inhabitants | 居民 | 不要用 dwellers | Some people reckon that the residents in these nations… |
| infrastructure | 基礎建設 | 不可數；well-established infrastructure | Infrastructure such as hospitals and schools is already well established（改寫） |
| job vacancies / employment opportunities | 職缺／就業機會 | a vast number of job vacancies | （筆記）都市好處：greater employment opportunities |
| close-knit communities | 緊密的社區 | — | （筆記）鄉村好處：peaceful environment、lower cost of living、scenic landscapes |
| traffic congestion | 交通壅塞 | heavy traffic、overcapacity of public transport | （筆記）都市問題：noise pollution、limited personal space、social isolation |
| the cost of living | 生活成本 | the cost of living increases | the cost of living increases because of the scarcity of fundamental materials like housing and foods（Task 6） |
| the scarcity of housing | 房屋短缺 | become increasingly pronounced | as the global population continues to grow, the scarcity of housing has become increasingly pronounced |
| erode the sense of community | 侵蝕社區感 | — | interactions between neighbours have become increasingly infrequent, eroding the sense of community |
| narrow the gap between cities and the countryside | 縮小城鄉差距 | — | the new constructions in the suburban area help to narrow the gap between cities and the countryside |
| a symbol of social status | 社會地位的象徵 | houses represent social status | Another factor is that houses sometimes represent social status（Task 41 訂正） |
| the gap between rich and poor | 貧富差距 | increase / widen the gap | this situation will increase the gap between rich and poor in the community（Task 41） |
可用論點
| 立場 | 論點 | 可以用的例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 鄉村人口外移是負面發展 | ① 鄉村勞動力不足，建設停擺 ② 都市過度擁擠，生活成本上升、生活品質下降 | 鄉村很多建設計畫因為缺工而無法進行 |
| 房子蓋在城市 | ① 生活便利，不用等新建設 ② 政府省錢，基礎建設已經完備 | 台北的醫院、學校都已完善，蓋好就能入住 |
| 房子蓋在鄉村 | ① 生活品質較好：步調放鬆、房價可負擔、人際關係緊密 ② 縮小城鄉差距 | 新市鎮帶動鄉村發展 |
| 鄰居疏遠的原因 | ① 工作時間不同，碰不到面 ② 有問題先上網查，不再找鄰居幫忙 | 遇到困難先 Google，而不是問鄰居 |
| 鄰居疏遠的解決方法 | ① 舉辦社區活動 ② 增加公共設施 | 社區公園、活動中心 |
| 重視買房是負面現象 | ① 對年輕人不友善，房價買不起 ② 擴大貧富差距，家庭背景變得更重要 | 傳統台灣文化裡，男方結婚前常被期待先準備房子 |
可套用的主題句＋例子
主題句：However, I firmly believe that this is a negative development. First and foremost, this situation is unfriendly to the younger generation.
我實際寫的段落（Task 41 訂正版）：Since the prices of houses are too high for youngsters to afford, it is difficult for them to buy houses when they are still rookies or freshmen in the workplace. Secondly, this situation will increase the gap between rich and poor in the community. When having a house is important, the importance of family backgrounds will be overemphasized simultaneously, further leading to unfairness.
我實際寫的段落（Task 41 訂正版）：Since the prices of houses are too high for youngsters to afford, it is difficult for them to buy houses when they are still rookies or freshmen in the workplace. Secondly, this situation will increase the gap between rich and poor in the community. When having a house is important, the importance of family backgrounds will be overemphasized simultaneously, further leading to unfairness.
Task 41 拿到 8 / 8 / 7 / 8，總分 7.5，是我分數最高的幾篇之一。我的分析是：兩個問題（為什麼重視買房、這是好是壞）都直接回答，立場從開頭到結論一致；而且例子「台灣男方結婚前要先準備房子」很具體，跟「社會地位」這個論點緊密相連。不過原稿把 property 拼成了 poverty（own their poverty），還有 rookies or freshmen 用在職場新人有點口語，換成 young professionals 或 people who have just started working 會更好。
五、社會問題：健康、長壽、貧富差距與冒險
社會問題是我筆記裡範圍最雜的一區，我挑最常考的四類整理：健康（速食、甜食）、長壽與高齡化、貧富差距、冒險。
核心詞彙表
| 英文 | 中文 | 常用搭配 | 我作文裡的句子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| life expectancy | 平均壽命 | life expectancy is increasing | With the improvement of the medical care, life expectancy of human beings has increased in decades（更自然：in recent decades） |
| an ageing / aging population | 高齡化人口 | — | aging population poses financial burden on both the government and households（burden 可數，要加 a） |
| be strained | （醫療服務）吃緊 | the medical service will be strained | the medical service will be strained if the number of the old generation increases |
| retirement age / pension | 退休年齡／年金 | be eligible to receive a pension | （筆記片語）who will be eligible to receive a pension |
| alleviate one’s burden | 減輕負擔 | — | the help from the elderly can undoubtedly alleviate their burden as well as the expenditure on babysitters |
| invaluable insights | 寶貴的見解 | — | the invaluable insights they give to younger generation（族群名稱要加 the） |
| the underprivileged / the financially disadvantaged | 弱勢者／經濟弱勢 | — | some underprivileged individuals in such countries cannot enjoy the advantages of a happy life |
| wealth distribution | 財富分配 | — | the wealth distribution can give them a chance to more fulfilling lives（少了動詞，要改 a chance to lead more fulfilling lives） |

可用論點
| 立場 | 論點 | 可以用的例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 高齡化的壞處 | ① 政府與家庭的經濟負擔 ② 醫療資源吃緊，排擠其他產業經費 | 培養醫生護士需要大量經費與時間 |
| 高齡化的好處 | ① 長輩幫忙帶孫，減輕雙薪父母負擔與保母費 ② 分享人生經驗與寶貴見解 | 年輕人向長輩請教職涯建議 |
| 國家變更富有，人民會更快樂 | ① 有預算蓋更多娛樂設施 ② 財富重新分配，弱勢者生活改善 | 新加坡、澳門的大型度假村 |
| 冒險的好處 | ① 職場：更好的升遷與薪水 ② 個人：投資可能帶來高報酬 | 股票比債券風險高，但報酬可能更高 |
| 冒險的壞處 | ① 失去工作、犧牲健康與家庭時間 ② 投資失利破產；極限運動受傷 | 高空鞦韆、跳傘、高空彈跳 |
| 反對對甜食加價 | ① 對經濟弱勢不公平 ② 教育才是更有效的方法 | 漲價後廠商收入增加，反而可能生產更多 |
可套用的主題句＋例子
主題句：On the contrary, the advantages of an aging population surpass the disadvantages.
我寫的支持理由：Firstly, old people can assist in taking care of their grandchildren, further relieving their offspring’s pressure. In other words, since modern parents tend to work during weekdays, the help from the elderly can undoubtedly alleviate their burden as well as the expenditure on babysitters.
我寫的支持理由：Firstly, old people can assist in taking care of their grandchildren, further relieving their offspring’s pressure. In other words, since modern parents tend to work during weekdays, the help from the elderly can undoubtedly alleviate their burden as well as the expenditure on babysitters.
這個論點的好處是「生活化」，幾乎每個人都能想到身邊的例子。我在筆記裡也特別提醒自己：這種主題用個人經驗或生活例子就好，不要硬加數據。生活例子能說清楚因果，比一個編出來的百分比更有說服力。
六、經濟、商業與廣告：廣告、加稅、進口食物、存錢
經濟商業類我寫過：廣告總強調產品是「新的」（正負面）、該不該對速食加稅、進口食物的優缺點、甜食該不該漲價（Task 7）、廣告是有說服力還是被忽略（試改 3）、存錢重不重要，以及超市賣世界各地食物是好是壞（Task 39，總分 7.5）。
先分清楚：advertising vs advertisement
| 字 | 意思 | 可數嗎 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| advertising | 廣告業、廣告這種活動 | 不可數，動詞用單數 | Advertising is a key tool for building brand awareness. |
| advertisement(s) | 一則一則的廣告 | 可數 | Advertisements are a useful tool for marketing. |
我在試改 3 寫了「Advertisements is beneficial」，主詞動詞不一致；還有「people do not believe those information on advertisement」，information 不可數、介係詞要用 in、advertisement 要加 s。這篇 GRA 和 LR 都只有 6，總分 6.5。
核心詞彙表
| 英文 | 中文 | 常用搭配 | 我作文裡的句子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| a highly competitive market | 高度競爭的市場 | — | Companies essentially resort to this policy because of the highly-competitive market |
| hold its market share | 維持市佔率 | — | this makes it difficult for a certain company or distributor to hold its market share |
| catch customers’ attention | 吸引顧客注意 | — | they help producers to catch customers’ attention for various brands |
| exaggerate | 誇大 | exaggerate the actual characteristics | this trend will also make business owners exaggerate the actual characteristics of their products |
| mandatory advertisements / fake advertising | 強制廣告／不實廣告 | — | people always overlook those mandatory advertisements |
| brand awareness | 品牌知名度 | build brand awareness | （筆記例句）Advertising is a key tool for building brand awareness. |
| impose a higher tax on | 課更高的稅 | — | If the governments impose special taxes on foods that are unhealthy… |
| the financially disadvantaged | 經濟弱勢 | — | It is difficult for the financially disadvantaged to buy those daily necessities.（筆記例句） |
| imported food / domestic goods | 進口食物／國產品 | threaten local industries | exotic products always pose a threat to domestic food, hindering the development of the local economy（Task 39 訂正） |
| broaden one’s horizons | 開闊視野 | — | all of which undoubtedly broadened my horizons |
| medical bills | 醫療費用 | make some people go bankrupt | Medical bills, which are always costly and make some people go bankrupt, are good examples of this matter |
| financial institutions / loans | 金融機構／貸款 | offer loans to businesses | financial institutions like banks or post offices are able to offer loans to businesses |
| a certain amount of money / costs thousands of dollars | 一筆錢／花費數千元 | 不要說 thousands of money | they have a certain amount of money to cover the bills |
可用論點
| 立場 | 論點 | 可以用的例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 廣告有效 | ① 反覆曝光加深印象（演算法推播） ② 是向忙碌消費者介紹產品的管道 | Facebook 依過去的購買紀錄推播折扣 |
| 廣告被忽略 | ① 強制廣告直接被略過 ② 不實廣告多，大家不再相信 | YouTube 廣告可以直接跳過 |
| 廣告強調「新」是負面的 | ① 只追求新功能，忽略基本品質 ② 容易誇大不實 | 產品推出週期短，品管時間被壓縮 |
| 進口食物的好處 | ① 選擇更多 ② 認識其他國家的文化與飲食習慣 | 透過品嚐各國料理認識歷史與農業 |
| 進口食物的壞處 | ① 運輸造成汙染、碳足跡大 ② 威脅國內產業 | 較便宜的進口稻米衝擊本地市場 |
| 存錢很重要 | ① 面對突發困難（醫療費用） ② 減輕政府福利支出，銀行資金可貸給企業 | 退休後能自己負擔生活 |
可套用的主題句＋例子
主題句：Another factor supporting my opinion is that exotic products always pose a threat to domestic food, hindering the development of the local economy.
我實際寫的段落（Task 39 訂正版）：Since the demand for each product in a nation is limited, if an increasing number of foreign foods are imported, the competitiveness that the local market needs to face will witness an upward trend simultaneously.
我實際寫的段落（Task 39 訂正版）：Since the demand for each product in a nation is limited, if an increasing number of foreign foods are imported, the competitiveness that the local market needs to face will witness an upward trend simultaneously.
Task 39 拿到 8 / 8 / 7 / 7，總分 7.5。這篇的優點是開頭第一段就清楚表態「這是負面發展」，兩個主體段各一個論點，每段都有「論點→解釋→例子→結論」完整的四步。原稿的錯誤集中在小地方：pollution 加了 s、pose 寫成 post、demand of 要改 demand for、foreign food 要加 s 並把動詞改成 are imported。內容到 8 分，語言卡在 7，這就是我那段時間的典型狀態。
七、跨主題萬用論點表
把上下兩集的論點攤開來看，你會發現很多論點是「萬用」的。我最後考前整理了一張表，每個萬用論點附一個英文片語，看到題目先想「這張表裡哪幾個用得上」：
| 萬用論點 | 英文片語 | 可以用在哪些題目 |
|---|---|---|
| 經濟負擔 | pose a financial burden on households / the financially disadvantaged | 博物館收費、加稅、買房、gap year、高齡化 |
| 不公平 | lead to unfairness / it is unfair to… | 學科經費、團隊運動、甜食加價、重視買房 |
| 心理健康 | enhance / threaten people’s mental well-being | 藝術預算、縮短工時、冒險、合作 |
| 歸屬感與社區感 | a sense of belonging / a sense of community | 鄰居疏遠、合作、房屋歷史、手機遊戲 |
| 生產力與競爭力 | increase productivity / the competitiveness of society | 縮短工時、競爭、年輕人口多、大學教育 |
| 就業與失業 | create job opportunities / a high unemployment rate | 藝術預算、無人車、傳統能源、多元文化 |
| 教育比處罰有效 | education is a more effective long-term solution | 犯罪、甜食與速食、環境、交通 |
| 環境汙染 | release greenhouse gases / a larger carbon footprint | 進口食物、空中交通、汽車、人口增加 |
學姊提醒：萬用論點不是「每題都硬塞」，而是幫你在 5 分鐘的構思時間裡快速找到方向。找到論點後，一定要換成跟題目直接相關的例子，否則 Task Response 會被扣。
怎麼背：一主題三句
- 一個背景句：例如城鄉題的 As the global population continues to grow, the scarcity of housing has become increasingly pronounced.
- 一個正面論點句＋一個負面論點句：從上面的表各挑一個你最能解釋的。
- 一個台灣或個人例子：例如台灣結婚前要先買房、免費入場的國立博物館、YouTube 廣告跳過鍵。
五個主題 × 三句，總共十五句，考前一週每天念一次、默寫一次。我發現能「默寫出來」的句子，考場上才真的會用；只是「看得懂」的句子，一緊張就想不起來。
八、小練習（附解答）
練習 A：選出正確的字
- (Advertising / Advertisements) is a key tool for building brand awareness.
- Young offenders should be sent to (prison / a prison / prisons) only as a last resort.
- The government should build more houses in (rural / suburban) areas to narrow the gap between cities and the countryside.
- An ageing population will place a heavy burden (on / to) the healthcare system.
- Many young people cannot afford to buy (a property / a poverty) in big cities.
點我看解答
- Advertising——不可數，動詞用 is。
- prison——指「入獄」這個制度時不加冠詞。
- rural——題意是鄉村；suburban 是市郊。
- on——place a burden on。
- a property——property（房產）／poverty（貧窮）。
練習 B：用萬用論點寫一句
題目：政府應該對含糖飲料課重稅。請用「不公平／經濟負擔」這個萬用論點，寫一句反對的主題句。
點我看解答
參考答案（示範）：The main reason why I disagree with this policy is that it would place an unfair financial burden on low-income households, which spend a larger proportion of their income on food and drink.
練習 C：改錯
- People do not believe those information on advertisement.
- It is hard for economical disabilities to make end meets.
- If those young people are prisoned, fewer teenagers will commit crimes.
點我看解答
- People do not believe the information in advertisements.
- It is hard for low-income households to make ends meet.
- If those young people are imprisoned / sent to prison, fewer teenagers will commit crimes.
主題單字上下兩集到這裡告一段落。單字表看完後，最好的練習是挑一個主題、計時 40 分鐘寫一篇，寫完對照這兩篇的單字表，看看自己用了哪些、哪些還沒想到。
