大家好,我是SK2實力養成班顧問J2.
現在作文題目很多條件很多,不是只有簡單的政府應該要保留舊的建築物還是拆掉蓋新的,都會有附加條件。上週在陪你讀時間就有同學問到,作文題目這麼冗長,許要滿足所有條件嗎?
簡單來說,在主題句不一定要提到,在例子發展時再提到即可。
以這題為例:
Some jobs can pay high salaries but require employees to leave their family and friends. Other jobs pay few salaries but allow employees to stay with family and friends. Which job do you prefer and why?
如果我的立場是想要在20年內退休,那我能選的就是高薪,可能就不一定會在乎家人朋友是否在身邊,只要可以達到20年內退休這個條件就好了。
所以主題句可以這麼寫:
First, I would like to retire in 20 years from now, and a job with high salaries can help me do so. 發展例子就可以說,如果一個工作有年薪八萬美金,那我可能就只要花20年就能賺到退休需要的錢。即使這段期間沒有辦法常見到家人朋友,等退休後,有更多時間可以陪家人朋友,所以選擇錢多但暫時離開家人朋友沒有關係。相反的,如果我選擇薪水不高的工作,那就無法在20年後退休,即使能常跟家人朋友見面,還是無法達成我的目標。
我們可以再看一下一題類似的題目:
20170304
Imagine that you need to find housing next semester and have found two possible apartments. The first apartment is within walking distance to campus, but the rent is a little expensive. The second apartment is farther away from campus, but the rent is more affordable. Which apartment do you think is better? Explain why.
假設我就是想要省時,我會選的就是within walking distance, 不管價錢。
主題句就可以說:
First, I care about saving time, and the apartment that is within walking distance to campus saves me a lot of time. 只要有滿足省時的條件,合理的選擇就是近的,當然可以在發展例子時再提到只要省時,即使很貴也不在乎。
第二點也可以說安全:
Second, I care about safety, and the apartment that is within walking distance to campus is a lot safer than the apartment farther away from campus. 舉例可以說因為校園有警衛、而且常常有人走來走去,晚上還有shuttle bus接送,很安全。想反的,如果住的離校園比較遠,可能人煙比較稀少,一旦發生什麼事比較難求救等等。最後想要下個小結論的話,也可以這樣寫:所以以安全來說,就算貴了點,住近一點還是比較好的。
下次會再分享其他同學在陪你讀時間的常見問題,也歡迎同學直接把你的問
題帶過來,我跟Vivian都會回答到同學滿意為止!
