Task 2 6 分範文:接受困境還是改善|共 3 篇
- 1. 題型判斷與英文原文(你正在讀)
- 2. 四項評分與三個立場陷阱
- 3. 改寫示範與結構句型

這篇是我 2024/05/20 送出批改的第一篇大作文,也是那段密集練習期的起點。題目是劍橋 14 第一回(Cam14-1)的大作文,原文我自己標了 378 字。結果四項小分是 6、6、6、7,總分 6 分,是我那 50 篇裡分數最低的一篇大作文。
我把它放進「分數範文」系列,是因為它的問題非常典型:文法其實不差(GRA 拿到 7),但整篇的立場和段落功能是亂的。很多人跟當時的我一樣,以為寫作卡 6 分是因為單字不夠高級,其實常常是更前面的東西出了錯:題型看錯、開頭句型套錯、段落第一句說的跟後面寫的不是同一件事。這篇就是一個活生生的例子。
一、題目與題型:這是 Both views,不是優缺點
題目大意是:有些人認為,遇到不好的處境(例如不滿意的工作、缺錢)最好的做法是接受它;另一些人則認為應該設法改善這種處境。請討論兩種觀點,並給出你自己的意見。
關鍵在最後那句指令 Discuss both these views and give your own opinion。這是標準的 Both views 題型:題目給了兩群人、兩種做法,A 是「接受」,B 是「改善」。你要做的是公平地說明 A 派為什麼這樣想、B 派為什麼那樣想,最後說你站哪邊(或你怎麼看)。
| 題型 | 題目長什麼樣 | 你要回答的問題 | 開頭立場句的樣子 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both views | Some people believe A. Others argue B. Discuss both views and give your opinion. | A 和 B 兩種看法各有什麼理由?你比較認同哪一個? | This essay will discuss both views, and I believe B is more reasonable. |
| Outweigh | Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? | 同一件事的好處和壞處,哪邊比較重? | I believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. |
| 優缺點+意見 | Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your opinion. | 同一件事有哪些好處、哪些壞處?整體來說你覺得好不好? | This essay will examine both the merits and drawbacks, and I think it is positive overall. |
| Agree / Disagree | To what extent do you agree or disagree? | 你同不同意這個說法?同意到什麼程度? | I completely agree / partly agree that … |
表格最右邊那欄是我想特別強調的:不同題型,開頭那句立場句的「骨架」是不一樣的。Both views 比的是「兩種觀點」,Outweigh 比的是「同一件事的好處和壞處」。這兩個看起來很像,但思考方向完全不同。我這篇最大的問題,就是拿 Outweigh 的骨架去寫 Both views 的題目。
二、分數卡與英文原文
四項平均是 6.25,依照雅思四捨五入規則落在 6 分。可以看到 GRA 已經有 7,代表句子本身大部分是寫得出來的;拖累總分的是 TR、CC、LR 三項都停在 6。以下為送出批改的原始版本,未修改:

In the contemporary society, there are two views regarding encountering adversities. Considerable public debates surround on whether the merits of accepting a bad situation outnumber the demerits. As for my perception, the negatives of accepting poorer situation surpass the positives, and the reasons behind my perspective will be elaborated on in the following paragraphs.
An array of factors may contribute to why accepting a bad situation seems rather disadvantageous. First and foremost, it is readily apparent that the life after choosing the poorer situation will be easier because of lower competitiveness. For example, since fewer workers want to compete for those occupations with fewer salary, people who choose those jobs may not need to face comparisons and competitions with others. Secondly, people who choose those bad situations sometimes have more leisure time, providing feasible schedule to individuals. In other words, those who is poorer or work for unsatisfactory job usually do not have tight working shifts; therefore, the feasible timetable grants them opportunities to conduct others things or develop different habits.
On the other hand, as far as I am concerned, if a person chooses to improve such situations, they may have better quality of life or various choices on workplace. Primarily, after successfully improving the situations, there is no denying that those individuals can have better jobs with higher compensation, which makes their life better and easier. To put in other words, owing to the fact that the quality of life sometimes results from better financial condition, people can have a happier life if they decide to improve and make the condition better. Furthermore, improving those poor situations can further increase one’s professionals, which offers a wide range of advanced opportunities in the workplace. International cooperation, which hire workers only with competent capabilities, are a good example of this matter. When workers improve the situations by enhancing their professional knowledge as well as improving their language abilities, it is easier for them to get an offer from international companies and frims.
In conclusion, based on the aforementioned, I firmly believe that it is wise of people to improve the situations rather than accepting them, since improving those situations can provide easier and better opportunities, along with various choices toward finding jobs, which undeniably make our life better.
