II. Grammatical errors(2)
在英文作文時想要表達媽媽每天為家人煮
飯的辛勞原本應該是
＜Mom cooks for us everyday＞
卻寫成
<Mom was cooked everyday>
媽媽每天被烹煮，
讓人啼笑皆非、捧腹不已
III. Good structure, poor
vocabulary(1)
I was so nervous but I make up my
mind to talk to her.
“Would you like to rent my umbrella?”
My friend and I decided to put our foot
to the kitties so they could feel warm.
They ate it very happily.
III. Good structure, poor
vocabulary(2)
<Grab your ankle,
keep your head down>
------抱緊腳踝、把頭放低
寫成<Crack your ankle,
kick your head down>
-------打碎腳踝、把頭踢掉
今年學測英文作文是4格漫畫，以化妝舞會
為主要情境，最後1格是個大問號，由考生
自行發揮。張武昌表示，化妝舞會
「masquerade」，這個字較難，很少有考
生寫對(三千份樣卷中，只有一人拼對)，
但考生若用「cosplay party」「costume party」
也會給分。有聰明的考生用間接說明「I
was invited to a party and everyone was
required to wear a mask.」。有的考生只寫兩、
三句，僅寫了Go to a party，並以Game over
做結尾，這樣頂多只能給1、2分。平均分
數預估為八分。
※交國際筆友
英文會進步嗎？
當然會！
ㄧ、英文信件格式
Dear Sirs,
I learned your name from the web site
XXX and would like to make friends with
you if you feel the same. _____________
___________________________________
___________________________________
Write soon and I’ll be looking forward to
your letter. May you be happy all the time.
Sincerely yours,
Tom
二、用email溝通的基本原則，
供同學們作參考：
A. 開頭怎麼稱呼呢？
a. 若不知道對方是誰，則寫Dear Sirs, 較
為正式，也可寫Hi, 或Dear all, 較為親
切。
b. 若與某一個人第一次通信，則直接稱
Dear XX, 是一種不論親疏，通用的形式。
B. 開頭怎麼寫？
a. I learned your name from the web site
XXX and would like to make friends with
you if you feel the same.
b. Glad to have received your email. I enjoyed
reading your letter very much. This is my
first time writing to a friend outside the
country and I hope that you and I can get to
know more about each other through email.
c. This is really an exciting experience writing
to you. I would love to tell you more about
myself.
C.寫些什麼內容好呢？
a.自我介紹:
I am a seventeen-year-old boy studying
at I-Lan Senior High. I do a lot of studying
every weekday for the big exam I have to
pass for college. But I do love to write. I
keep a diary every other day, and draw
pictures next to my writing. There are
usually more things to write in two days
than in one day. On weekends, I often play
basketball with my friends!
b. 介紹家人：
My parents both work and I also got a
brother studying at a junior high school
near our home. A family of four is quite
typical in Taiwan. My father is an electronic
engineer working for an LCD monitor
company, and my mom works in a business
office as a secretary. My brother is a lot
younger than me, but he and I can play
together. We play basketball together on
weekends. We also play video games and
he always defeats me.
On weekends, the family does get
together a lot and go outing very often.
If not, my dad and I would have a
heavy fight with the video games. I win
most of the time, but sometimes he
wins. That’s cool, right? Three of us
often make bets on who wins the
games. Sometimes the bets can go on
for two weeks so that there would be
enough games to get the points.
c. 介紹自己的學校及好朋友
or同學：
I studied at I-Lan Senior High
School. We study almost from the
morning till the end of the day. Really!
We have a lot of pressure from the big
exam to enter college. The juniors in
my school even go to school on
Saturdays. Do you have the similar
pressure?
My best friend in school is Lee-hwa. She
has been my friend since our first year in
senior high. We study together and go
shopping at the little store near our school.
Sometimes, we go to a teahouse on our way
home and have a bubbled black tea after the
tiring lessons in school. All the teas offered
there are jumbo sizes in large beautiful
brandy glasses. We can sip the tea and talk
for almost an hour and then go home. You
know what? We planned to go to the same
college TOGETHER!
d. 描述自己居住的城鎮：
I live in I-Lan at the north-eastern
part of Taiwan. The weather here is
nice and warm all the time. Sunshine
is everywhere even in winter. I ride
bicycle to school and most of my
classmates do. It takes about half an
hour to get to my school. Even though
this is a large city it is not as crowded
as Taipei. How about your hometown?
The weather here is hot and humid,
I sweat a lot in summer and it is not
always cold in winter. We don’t have
snow is the city but there is a little
snow in the mountains. If there is
snow, hundreds of people would all
swarm in the mountains and take a lot
of pictures there. I have not seen snow
because I do not have the time to go. I
am always studying.
e. 描寫自己的興趣or嗜好：
I like sports. I enjoy playing basketball
and jogging at my leisure. I believe nothing
is more precious than health, so I exercise
frequently to develop a strong body. I like
music too. I go to sing Karaoke with my
families or friends from time to time. To be
frank to you, I can relax from all kinds of
pressure and troubles by singing and
listening to music.
D. 結尾及祝福語怎麼寫？
a. Well, I have to stop here. Wish you a
wonderful weekend.
b. Write me when you have time. Have
a nice day.
c. Write soon and I’ll be looking
forward to your letter. May you be
happy all the time.
d. Drop me a few lines when you find
time. Wish you all the happiness.
E. 簽名之前的謙稱怎麼寫？
a. Yours,
b. Sincerely yours,
c. Cordially yours,
d. Truly yours,
e. Very truly yours,
三、Sample
Hi! Nice to meet you all!
I am Tom Cruise. I am 18 years old, studying in I-Lan
Senior High school. There are five people in my family.
My father is a government official and my mother, a
housewife, takes care of the family. My parents always
train me to be independent.
I like swimming and jogging. Moreover, I like
reading, especially books on economics (or literature).
Among all the subjects, English is my favorite and my
specialty. (English is so important a language that
many people are learning it and using it. To me,
English is a means to make friends with foreigners,
travel overseas and cultivate international awareness.)
As for extracurricular activities, my school provided a
great variety of school clubs for us to participate in. I’m
a member of school band and I play the drum.
By taking part in various competitions, I not
only made a lot of friend, but also gained many
different valuable experiences. I really enjoy
interacting with others and I really appreciate the
feeling of sharing. The experience benefited me a
lot and helped me build up my confidence. Not
everyone says I'm an out going person, however, I
do enjoy making friends with people around the
world. I don't really ask something specific from
someone as long as he or she is an open-minded,
and friendly person. Of course, besides language
learning, getting to know more foreign cultures is
where I put my focus mostly. If you are interested in
learning Chinese, perhaps we can have some talks.
Write soon and I’ll be looking forward to your
letter. May you be happy all the time.
Sincerely yours,
Tom
