OrganisationNowadays, almost every teenager owns a mobile phone, so schools are increasingly debating whether students should be allowed to use them during break times.
開頭用改寫題目的方式帶出討論主題,沒有直接抄題目文字,讓讀者一開始就知道文章要談的方向,是「組織」看重的破題寫法。
CommunicativeIn my opinion, phones should be allowed, but only with clear limits.
第一段就清楚表態、給出立場,讓身為讀者的老師馬上被充分告知作者的態度,是「溝通成效」要求的重點。
ContentFirstly, mobile phones make it easy for students to stay in contact with friends and family.
對應題目給的第一個重點(staying in contact with friends and family),Firstly 同時展現「組織」要求的連接詞使用。
LanguageIf a student needs to tell a parent about a change of plan, a quick message solves the problem immediately, and this also gives parents peace of mind.
用 if 條件句加上 and 子句組成複雜句,而不是只寫簡單句,展現「語言」要求的簡單句與複雜句並用。
ContentOn the other hand, phones can be a serious distraction from schoolwork.
對應題目給的第二個重點(distraction from schoolwork),On the other hand 標出這是相反方向的論點,呼應「組織」的轉折安排。
LanguageEven during a short break, students can lose track of time online, and it can be difficult to concentrate on lessons afterwards.
lose track of time、concentrate on 都是超過基礎字彙等級的搭配詞,展現「語言」要求的字彙廣度。
ContentThere is another point that is often overlooked: constant phone use during breaks stops students from talking to each other face to face.
這句是考生自己加的第三個重點(own idea)——在兩個給定重點之外,自己想出一個新論點,這是 Part 1 作文一定要做到、少了會被扣內容分的關鍵動作。
CommunicativeBreak time should give teenagers a chance to relax and build real friendships, not stare at a screen alone.
延伸自己想出的論點並說明原因,而不是丟出主張就結束,讓讀者理解「為什麼」,是「溝通成效」看重的說服力。
OrganisationIn conclusion, I believe schools should allow phones during breaks but set a reasonable time limit, such as fifteen minutes.
用 In conclusion 明確收尾並重申立場,這是評分表要求「文章要有結論」的句子,少了明確結論會直接影響「組織」分數。
CommunicativeThis way, students can stay connected without losing the social side of school life.
結尾再次呼應全文重點,留給讀者一個完整、正面的收尾印象,是「溝通成效」看重的整體效果。
最常見的失分
- 只寫了兩個給定重點,忘記加上自己的第三個想法(own idea)——內容分數會被封頂。
- 文章沒有清楚的結論段,寫到最後一段就停了,沒有明確表態。
- 論點只是條列主張,沒有加原因或例子支撐,變成「觀點堆疊」而不是有說服力的論述。
- 用了太多口語縮寫(isn't, don't, it's),跟這篇要求的中性/正式語域不符。
- 字數不足 140 字,或超過 190 字太多,兩種都會影響評分。
