Task 2 一段塞多個 ideas 是台灣考生高頻錯:
§2: First, technology helps learning. Also, it saves time. Moreover, kids enjoy it. Furthermore, teachers like it too.
四個理由、每個一句、都沒展開。整段 Band 6。
正確作法:一段一個 idea、深入展開。
為什麼只能一個
Body paragraph 評分標準的 Task Response 看:
- Idea 是否充分 supported?
- 發展是否有深度?
一段四個理由 = 每個只能分 25% 篇幅 = 每個都淺。
一段一個理由 + 4 次 support = Band 7+ 深度。
一段的正確結構(PEEL)
P — Point (主題句, 1 句)
E — Explain (解釋為什麼, 2-3 句)
Ex — Example (具體例子, 2-3 句)
L — Link (回扣主論點, 1 句)
約 80-100 字一段。
對照感受
❌ 多 ideas 版(Band 6)
Firstly, compulsory uniforms have many benefits. They reduce bullying. They save parents money. They create equality. They make mornings easier. Also, they improve discipline. In many countries such as Japan and Korea, uniforms are common.
五個理由、20 秒就念完——讀者感覺你列清單,不是論述。
✅ 一個 idea 展開版(Band 7+)
The most compelling benefit of compulsory uniforms is the reduction of appearance-based social pressure. (P)
When every pupil dresses identically, the visible markers of family wealth — designer trainers, branded bags, premium coats — disappear from the classroom. Children from lower-income backgrounds no longer face the daily reminder that their peers can afford items they cannot. (E)
A 2019 study from the UK's Department for Education found that schools adopting strict uniform policies reported a 22% reduction in appearance-related bullying incidents within three years. Similarly, Japanese schools, where uniforms have been mandatory for decades, consistently rank among the lowest in the OECD for peer-based social exclusion. (Ex)
This suggests that uniforms are not merely a traditional convention but a practical tool for creating a more equitable learning environment. (L)
四個元素、110 字——深入、有具體數據、連結主論點。
但我其他理由怎麼辦?
Body 只有兩段(§2 §3)—— 每段一個 idea = 一篇 essay 只能講 2 個理由。
感覺少?沒關係。Task 2 評的是深度,不是廣度。2 個深入 > 5 個淺層。
怎麼選哪 2 個
選你最會寫例子的 2 個。不是最「對」的——最好發揮的。
兩個理由之間要互相獨立:
- ✓ §2「減少霸凌」 + §3「縮小貧富差距」——獨立角度
- ✗ §2「減少霸凌」 + §3「改善校園氛圍」——其實同一件事,重複
快速檢查
寫完一段後問自己:
- 這段一句話能概括嗎?(可以 → 好)
- 這段能再拆成兩段嗎?(能 → 塞太多了,拆開)
試試看
找你最近一篇 Task 2 的 §2。在旁邊用中文寫它的主題——能 5 個字以內寫完嗎?
- 能 → 好
- 不能 / 包含 and / also / 以及 → 重寫成一個 idea
一次改一段,最終整篇結構收斂。
