IELTS Task 1 跟 Task 2 都要求paraphrase 題目寫進 intro。
學生版：
The line graph shows the number of tourists in Spain from 1990 to 2020. 照抄開頭：The line graph shows the number of tourists... ❌
這些字不算字數——照抄扣分。
3 字法則
連續超過 3 個字跟題目一樣 = 算抄襲 = 不計字數。
例子：
- the line graph shows → 4 字照抄 → 扣
- illustrates how tourist numbers → 原題沒出現過 → 安全
- from 1990 to 2020 → 數字可以照抄（專有名詞不算）
專有名詞、日期、機構名不算——Spain / 1990 / UNESCO 可以照抄。
怎麼 paraphrase
法 1：換動詞（最快）
題目：The graph shows...
Paraphrase:
- The graph illustrates...
- The graph depicts...
- The graph presents...
- The graph compares...（多組資料時）
- The graph breaks down...（分類資料時）
法 2：換名詞
題目：the number of tourists
Paraphrase:
- tourist numbers
- visitor figures
- the volume of tourism
- the quantity of visitors
法 3：重構句型
題目：The line graph shows the number of tourists visiting Spain from 1990 to 2020.
Band 7 paraphrase: The line graph illustrates how tourist figures in Spain changed over a thirty-year period between 1990 and 2020.
差別：
- shows → illustrates how ___ changed （重構句型）
- the number of tourists → tourist figures （換名詞）
- from 1990 to 2020 → over a thirty-year period between 1990 and 2020 （加細節）
Task 2 的 paraphrase
題目：Some people believe technology is making children lazy. Do you agree or disagree?
❌ 學生版
Some people believe technology is making children lazy. I agree.
完全沒 paraphrase。Intro Band 5.5。
✅ Band 7 版
There is a widely held view that the rise of digital technology is eroding children's motivation and effort. In my opinion, this concern is largely justified, though it requires some nuance.
改動：
- Some people believe → There is a widely held view that
- technology is making children lazy → the rise of digital technology is eroding children's motivation and effort
專有名詞怎麼辦
國家名、公司名、疾病名、科目名——必須照抄，不能瞎改：
- Japan 不要改成 that East Asian nation（做作）
- NHS 不要改成 UK's health service（失精準）
規則：3 字法則不適用於專有名詞。
試試看
拿一題 Task 2 題目。在空白紙上把題目重寫三個版本：
- 只換動詞
- 只換名詞
- 完全重構句型
寫完對比——哪個最自然？把它背起來當標準 paraphrase。
