Task 2 Intro 第一句是評分員第一眼。照抄題目——那些字不算字數，而且直接讓評分員標記你「不會 paraphrase」。
這篇給五個結構性技巧，搭配實戰範例。
五種技巧
技巧 1 · Noun ↔ Verb 互換
把動詞變名詞，或反之。最常用、最安全。
Original: Some people argue that governments should ban smoking in public places.
Paraphrase: The possibility of a ban on smoking in public areas has sparked considerable debate.
動詞 ban 變成名詞 a ban，整句自然需要重組。
技巧 2 · Active ↔ Passive 互換
主動變被動，或反之。特別適合題目主詞是「some people / governments / parents」這類的。
Original: Parents should teach their children about money.
Paraphrase: Children should be taught about financial matters by their parents.
技巧 3 · 比較級重寫（Comparative rewording）
如果題目有比較（better than / more important than），換個比法。
Original: Reading books is more important than watching films.
Paraphrase: Films do not offer the same educational value as reading.
技巧 4 · 條件式重構（Conditional reframing）
把陳述句變成條件句，或反之。
Original: University education should be free for all students.
Paraphrase: If higher education were to be fully subsidised, it would remain accessible to every student regardless of background.
技巧 5 · 雙同義字 swap（Double-synonym swap）
同時換兩個關鍵字（一個動詞 + 一個名詞，或一個形容詞 + 一個名詞），句型維持。最簡單但會掉入 Level 1 的陷阱——只有兩個字都換得精準時才有效。
Original: Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity.
Paraphrase: Global warming poses the most serious danger to the human race.
Climate change → global warming；greatest threat → most serious danger；humanity → the human race。三處換字都精準。
五個實戰題目 + Intro paraphrase
題目 1
Prompt: Some people believe that young children should be taught at home by their parents rather than at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Paraphrase (noun↔verb): The suggestion that early education should take place within the family home rather than in a traditional classroom has generated considerable debate.
題目 2
Prompt: In many countries, the number of animals and plants is declining. What are the causes and what solutions can you suggest?
Paraphrase (passive + noun): In numerous nations, a significant reduction is being observed in both wildlife populations and plant species, raising urgent questions about its drivers and possible remedies.
題目 3
Prompt: Advertising discourages people from being different individuals by making us all want to look and behave the same. Do you agree or disagree?
Paraphrase (comparative rewording): The claim that marketing pressures produce uniform appearances and behaviours, rather than celebrating personal difference, has become increasingly common.
題目 4
Prompt: Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have freedom to do any sports. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Paraphrase (conditional): Whether risky athletic pursuits should be prohibited by law, or left to individual choice, remains a contested question in many societies.
題目 5
Prompt: Many people believe that international tourism has damaged the culture of host countries. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Paraphrase (double-synonym swap): There is a widespread concern that global tourism has eroded local cultural identity in destination nations, prompting a reassessment of whether the benefits truly exceed the costs.
練習 SOP（考場 3 分鐘可完成）
0:00-0:30 讀題,圈出 3-4 個關鍵字（名詞/動詞/形容詞）
0:30-1:30 逐字想 synonym(至少 2 個,挑最自然的)
1:30-2:30 決定一個結構技巧(noun↔verb 最安全)
2:30-3:00 寫出 paraphrase + 念一次確認文法常見錯誤
錯誤 1 · 換了字但意思跑了
題目講 discourage people — 不要換成 forbid people。discourage 是「使人不想做」，forbid 是「禁止」，嚴重性差很多。Paraphrase 的核心：字可以換，意思不能偏。
錯誤 2 · 把題目全 paraphrase 完之後沒有「立場」
Intro 第一句 paraphrase 題目，第二句必須表態。寫完第一句直接進第二段 = 沒有 thesis = Task Response 自動卡 6.0。
錯誤 3 · 用 "This essay will discuss..." 當第二句
這是老式模板，雖然不扣分但也不加分。Band 7 的第二句直接講你的 position：
In my view, while this argument has some merit, the underlying assumption is flawed.
