努力就能做到|7.5 分範文|共 3 篇
- 1. 題目、原文與四項評分(你正在讀)
- 2. LR 8 用字與口頭禪
- 3. 改寫示範、句型與練習

這篇是 2024 年 7 月 1 日寫的,題目來自劍橋雅思 15 Test 4。這時已經是我那段密集練習的最後幾天,隔天 7 月 2 日就是最後一批送改的作文。這篇小分是 TR 8、CC 8、LR 8、GRA 7,總分 7.5,也是我這段時間唯一一篇 LR 拿到 8 的作文。
LR(Lexical Resource,字彙)在我那段時間的五十篇左右作文裡,幾乎都是 7。所以這篇對我來說很值得拆解:它到底用了什麼字,讓 LR 上了 8?同時我也想誠實地指出,這篇裡面其實還是有很多我每篇都會用的「口頭禪」,LR 8 並不代表用字已經完美。最後,這題在我的筆記裡被歸在 Outweigh 類,但題目其實只問優缺點,這個差別我也會一起說明。
一、題目與寫作背景
題目大意:在某些文化中,大人常常告訴孩子,只要夠努力,就能做到任何事。題目問:給孩子這樣的訊息,有什麼優點和缺點?
| 項目 | 內容 |
|---|---|
| 出處 | 劍橋雅思 15 Test 4 |
| 題型 | Advantages and Disadvantages(優缺點題,題目沒有要求表態) |
| 寫作日期 | 2024/07/01 |
| 用時 | 15:00–15:41,約 41 分鐘 |
| 字數 | 323 字(我當時自己記的字數) |
| 優點 | 一、讓孩子敢追求真正的夢想;二、激發潛力 |
| 缺點 | 一、忽略失敗的可能,可能造成財務損失;二、沒有心理準備,可能導致憂鬱等心理問題 |
我寫之前的大綱
筆記裡留著我動筆前寫的關鍵字大綱:優點一,激勵孩子努力;優點二,激發潛力。缺點一,不知道失敗的可能 → 無法承受壓力;缺點二,了解現實之後 → 有些人可能出現憂鬱等心理問題 → 影響心理健康。
把大綱和成品對照,會發現兩個地方在寫的過程中改變了。優點一從「激勵孩子努力」變成「讓孩子敢選真正有興趣的夢想」,這個改變讓論點更有深度,是好的改變。缺點一則從「無法承受壓力」變成「財務損失」,而原本的「壓力」被移到了缺點二。這個臨時調整,剛好可以解釋為什麼缺點一會突然出現 initial investment,主詞也從孩子跳到成人:大綱裡沒有這條因果鏈,中間的橋接自然就容易漏掉。
「只問優缺點」和「Outweigh」不一樣
這題在我的筆記裡和 Outweigh 題放在一起,因為兩者都要寫優點和缺點。但仔細看題目,它只問 What are the advantages and disadvantages,沒有問「優點是否大於缺點」,也沒有要你給意見。所以這篇只要把優點和缺點各寫清楚就好,不表態也完全符合題目要求。
| 題目問法 | 要做的事 | 結論要不要表態 |
|---|---|---|
| What are the advantages and disadvantages of …? | 優點一段、缺點一段,各兩個理由 | 不需要(可以簡單總結雙方) |
| Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? | 優缺點都要寫,並說明哪邊比較重 | 一定要,開頭和結論都要說 |
| Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your opinion. | 優缺點各一段+自己的看法 | 要,通常放開頭和結論 |
二、分數與英文原文(未修改)
四項平均 7.75,總分 7.5。下面是送出批改的原始版本,錯誤全部保留。
以下為送出批改的原始版本,未修改(2024/07/01,323 字)
It is true that some children are taught that their dreams will come true if they work or study hard. The purpose of this essay is to analyze both merits and demerits of this phenomenon.
There are some reasons why telling this to children seems to be beneficial. The primary one is that it motivates them to concentrate on finding real dreams, no matter how difficult those goals may be. In other words, when youngsters understand that they can successfully reach their goals in the future, it is possible that they will try to set up their goals that they are really interested in, instead of finding those easier ones. Another factor is that it boosts children’s potential. If children know that they can success after working hard, they will make an effort to enhance their capabilities and focus on their realms, further fostering their professions. Consequently, the ability of the younger generation will undeniably rise simultaneously, which increases the competitiveness of the society.
However, teaching children that their dreams will undoubtedly come true is sometimes disadvantageous. First and foremost, those people may encounter financial difficulties since they do not take the possibility of failure into consideration. Due to the fact that they are taught to keep working to reach their dreams, people lose the ability to evaluate the sides of getting loss. Therefore, they may need to undertake the big loss of their initial investment because of the inappropriate anticipation of the outcome. Secondly, it causes some mental illnesses like depression. It is readily apparent that if people do not know about the potential consequences, they do not prepare for the pressure they may meet, which negatively impacts people’s mental well-being.
In conclusion, there are both benefits and downsides of this situation. Teaching children this view can motivate them to find their real dreams and boost their full potential; nevertheless, it sometimes poses a financial burden and causes mental illnesses as well.
三、這篇為什麼拿到 7.5:四項逐一對照
| 評分項目 | 這篇的證據 | 我的判斷 |
|---|---|---|
| Task Response 8 | 優點兩個、缺點兩個,都有解釋;結論總結雙方。完全符合「只問優缺點」的要求。 | 回應充分;缺點一從「孩子」跳到「投資虧損」中間缺一步,缺點二展開較短。 |
| Coherence & Cohesion 8 | The primary one … Another factor …/First and foremost … Secondly …,兩段結構對稱。 | 段落分工清楚;段內用 In other words、Consequently、Therefore 推進,邏輯順暢。 |
| Lexical Resource 8 | no matter how difficult those goals may be、take the possibility of failure into consideration、initial investment、inappropriate anticipation of the outcome。 | 用字範圍廣、能精準表達抽象概念;仍有 evaluate the sides of getting loss 等不自然搭配,以及固定口頭禪。 |
| Grammatical Range & Accuracy 7 | no matter how … 讓步子句、Due to the fact that …、if …, they do not …。 | can success、both merits and demerits 漏冠詞、their goals that they are really interested in 等錯誤。 |

Task Response 8:剛好回答題目問的
TR 8 的描述大意是:充分回應題目所有部分,論點有延伸和支持。這篇的開頭 The purpose of this essay is to analyze both merits and demerits of this phenomenon 直接說明要做什麼,沒有多餘的表態;兩個主體段分別寫優點和缺點;結論用 there are both benefits and downsides 總結,再各摘要兩點。整篇剛好回答題目問的,不多也不少。
優點段的第一個理由特別有想法:不是單純說「這句話能激勵孩子」,而是說「孩子會因此敢選自己真正有興趣的目標,而不是挑比較容易的」。這比「激勵孩子努力」多了一層:它改變的是孩子「選擇目標的方式」。第二個理由「激發潛力」則延伸到 the ability of the younger generation will … rise,從個人推到整個世代。
Coherence & Cohesion 8:熟悉的對稱結構
CC 8 的描述大意是:資訊排列有邏輯,銜接處理得好,分段恰當。這篇延續了我後期作文的固定結構:主體段第一句說「這一方有理由」,接著用標示詞列出兩個理由,每個理由後面接 In other words、If …、Due to the fact that … 這類說明句。讀者可以很快找到四個論點的位置。
GRA 7:唯一沒到 8 的一項
GRA 7 代表句型有變化、很多句子沒有錯,但錯誤還不夠少。這篇的錯誤大多是詞性和冠詞,例如 can success(應為 succeed)、both merits and demerits(應為 both the merits and demerits)。這些錯誤不影響理解,但數量讓 GRA 停在 7。下面第五節(見第 2 篇)會詳細列出。
