Among all the ways to read, it is printed books that I turn to more often than electronic ones. Whenever I have a free afternoon, I like to curl up on my bed with a paperback novel, a cup of tea within reach, and let myself drift into the story for hours without checking any screen. I do, however, read e-books occasionally, mostly on my phone when I am commuting on the MRT or waiting in line somewhere, since a digital library of hundreds of titles can be carried in my pocket. Still, were I to choose a single format to read before going to sleep every night, I would always pick a physical book, as its pages do not glow with the harsh blue light that keeps me awake. If I had to choose between the two, I would, without hesitation, choose printed books, and I have two solid reasons for this preference. First, holding an actual book engages more of my senses: I enjoy the texture of the paper, the faint smell of ink, and even the small satisfaction of watching a bookmark move steadily toward the back cover, all of which make reading feel like a complete experience rather than merely scrolling through text. Second, printed books demand my full attention in a way that e-books rarely do. Not only can a notification pop up the moment I open a reading app, but the temptation to check social media is also only a swipe away, so my concentration is constantly interrupted. A printed book, by contrast, offers no such distractions; it simply sits in my hands, inviting me to keep reading page after page. For these reasons, despite the convenience that technology offers, it is the quiet, tactile pleasure of a paper book that I will never give up.
技巧說明（5）
這是典型的「It is + 強調部分 + that + 子句」分裂句（cleft sentence），文法規則是把原本平鋪直敘的句子「I turn to printed books more often than electronic ones」拆解，把要強調的受詞「printed books」抽出放在 It is 和 that 之間，藉此凸顯該訊息是全句的重點。比起直接寫「I read printed books more often」，這種句型能讓開頭第一句就清楚、有力地點出全文主旨（紙本書 vs 電子書的選擇），也展現你能掌握英文中較進階的語序調動能力，閱卷老師一眼就能看出你的句型不只是簡單句的堆疊。學生可以在任何議論文的破題句套用這個公式，例如寫「我比較喜歡運動」可寫成「It is exercising outdoors that I enjoy the most」，立刻讓句子更有文采。
這句用了假設語氣的倒裝形式，原本的條件句「If I were to choose...」因為 If 可以省略、並將 were 提到主詞前面，形成「Were I to V..., S + would + V」的倒裝假設句，文法上屬於第二條件句（與現在/未來事實相反的假設），用來表達一種「如果真的要我選」的假想情境。這比單純寫「If I choose a book before sleeping, I will pick a physical one」更高階，因為倒裝假設句在書面英文中屬於正式、文學性較強的用法，能展現你對條件句變化形式的掌握，閱卷老師會特別留意這種非制式表達。學生在表達「如果要我選…」這類假設情境時都可以套用，例如：「Were I given more time, I would travel around the world.」
這是「Not only + 助動詞/be動詞 + 主詞 + 動詞, but + 主詞 + also + 動詞」的倒裝句型，文法規則是當否定意味的副詞片語 Not only 放在句首時，後面的子句必須採用疑問句語序（助動詞提前），也就是 can 要移到主詞 a notification 之前。這種句型比單純用 and 連接兩個句子（例如：A notification can pop up, and the temptation to check social media is also there）更有層次感與強調效果，能展現作者刻意安排語序以加強語氣的能力，是學測作文中常見的加分句型之一。學生可以在列舉兩個遞進的理由或缺點時使用，例如：「Not only does fast food taste good, but it is also very convenient.」
句中「a cup of tea within reach」其實是省略了 being 的獨立分詞構句（with + 名詞 + 形容詞/介系詞片語的獨立主格），用來補充說明主要動作發生時的背景畫面，文法上等同於「while a cup of tea is within reach」，但省略連接詞和 be 動詞後顯得更精簡流暢。比起寫成完整的附屬子句，這種用法能讓句子讀起來更像道地英文寫作，避免句子結構過於單調重複（一直用 and 或 while 連接），同時增加畫面感與細節描寫，讓第一段的閱讀習慣描述更加生動具體。學生可以在描述情境、營造畫面時套用這個公式：「with + 名詞 + 形容詞/副詞片語」，例如：「She sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the rain.」
這同樣是 It is...that... 的分裂句結構，但放在結尾段的結論處，功能是把全文的核心論點（紙本書帶來的寧靜且具觸感的樂趣）再次強調一次，形成首尾呼應的效果（第一段開頭也用了同樣句型）。文法上要注意 that 後面接的是完整子句且動詞 give up 要與主詞 I 一致，不能漏掉受詞。這種首尾呼應的強調句型設計，能讓文章結構更緊密、更有「起承轉合」的完整感，是頂標作文常見的寫作策略，而非只是語言堆砌。學生可以在結論段刻意重複開頭使用過的句型來強化主旨，例如文章開頭寫「It is kindness that makes the world better」，結尾也可以呼應「it is kindness, not wealth, that I will always choose to practice」。
