想想一些社會你認知的【現實】phenomenon/experience 作為題目的引子、或者定義一些字眼。
現: 現實定義When we talk of immigrants, they are people who have decided to leave their home country, their families, and their familiar customs.(當我們講到「新移民」,他們是那些已決定離開自己祖國、家庭和他們所熟悉的習俗的人。)
現: 現實切入The experience of an immigrant can never be rosy as they might have expected but be stressful.(新移民的經歷不一定如期望般璀璨,甚至壓力重重。)
現: 現實例子 An immigrant may ask himself, ’will the citizens of this newly adopted home be willing to accept my own old ways or customs I have left behind or vice versa?’
(一位新移民在自問: 「新居地的市民會願意接納我已離棄的舊生活方式/習慣嗎? 相反,我自己又能接受新生活嗎?」)
所以,要掌握第一個鋪墊就是【現】。很多時候,【現】→會揭示出「他」人的看法。
表: 立場 We have established the fact that… 表: 方案 We strongly suggest that every possible effort be made …..
As far as I am concerned, more effort should be made in order to…
其實這些例句模組,在網絡上是多得不得了的。其實不在乎你用哪一句,marker看的是你的【前後鋪墊】!評分不會只看一句、兩句的,marker給分是以整体看,其實表達立場是【起承轉合】的必然手段only。
所以,要掌握第三個鋪墊就是【表】–>【啟後/承上】。
4. 【理】理據:why? How?
你的論點必須有【理據】作依據。這裡有4條思路:
i. Advantages可以成為理據、
ii. 避免Disadvantages也可以成為理據、
iii. 要完成Target也是個理據。
iv. 怎樣作how都可以成為理據。
理:with例子In Africa, wild animals help local people earn their livelihood and support them to raise their families, as well as …
(在非洲,野生動物幫助當地人賺取生計和支持他們養家。還有…)
Admittedly….(承認漏動)However…(堵漏)
After all….(畢竟)
It is true that…However…
I am not denying the value of importance…
這些都是常用的「連接詞」。
讓Admittedly, I am not saying that all people should keep themselves away from others…After all, all people in the society need one another in a certain extent…(承認漏洞+堵漏)
所以,要第五個鋪墊就是【讓】–>【堵漏】。
