社區活動
如果你就讀的學校預計辦理一項社區活動，而目前師生初步討論出三個方案：（一）提供社區老人服務（如送餐、清掃、陪伴等）；（二）舉辦特色市集（如農產、文創、二手商品等）；（三）舉辦藝文活動（如展出、表演、比賽等）。這三個方案，你會選擇哪一個？請以此為題，寫一篇英文作文，文長至少120個單詞。文分兩段，第一段說明你的選擇及原因，第二段敘述你認為應該要有哪些活動內容，並說明設計理由。

If I could choose one of the three proposals for our school's community event, I would without hesitation opt for providing services for the elderly in our neighborhood. Having grown up living next door to an elderly couple whose children work abroad, I have witnessed firsthand how isolated senior citizens can become once they are left to fend for themselves. A flea market or an arts festival might bring temporary excitement, but what our aging neighbors truly need is consistent human connection and practical help. By choosing this option, students would not only lend a hand to those who built our community but also learn the invaluable lesson that genuine care matters more than mere entertainment. As for the specific activities, I believe the program should combine both practical assistance and emotional companionship. First, volunteers could be organized into small teams to deliver hot meals twice a week, ensuring that no elderly resident goes hungry or forgotten. Second, students should visit regularly to help with household chores such as cleaning and grocery shopping, tasks that become increasingly difficult with age. Most importantly, however, every visit ought to include time simply spent chatting, playing chess, or listening to the seniors' life stories, for it is this sense of being heard that money can never buy. Only when we combine efficiency with genuine warmth can this event truly make a difference.
技巧說明（6）
這裡使用 If + 過去式動詞 (could choose) 的假設語氣，雖然情境其實是真實可能發生的選擇，但用虛擬語氣可以讓語氣更委婉、更具思考過的語感，而非直接武斷地說 I choose。文法規則上，If 子句用過去式 (could)，主要子句會搭配 would，呈現一種「若要我選」的假設情境。這比單純寫 I choose the first plan because... 更有層次感，顯示你是經過深思熟慮才做出選擇，而非隨意回答，對閱卷老師來說語氣更成熟。學生可以在表達個人選擇或立場的題目中套用，例如：If I were asked to pick a leader, I would choose honesty over charisma。
這是典型的「完成式分詞構句」（Having + p.p.），用來表示比主要子句動作更早發生、且帶有原因意味的背景經驗，等同於 Because I grew up living next door..., I have witnessed...。使用分詞構句能避免兩個完整子句用連接詞硬接在一起的生硬感，讓句子更精簡流暢，也展現你能駕馭較複雜的句構，是閱卷老師眼中「高階文法」的明顯指標。學生可以在任何需要先陳述背景經驗再帶出論點的段落套用，例如：Having volunteered at an animal shelter for two years, I understand how much patience caring for animals requires。
whose 是所有格關係代名詞，用來連接並修飾前面的名詞 couple，表示「這對夫婦的小孩」，避免寫成兩個獨立句子（An elderly couple lives next door. Their children work abroad.）。這種用法讓句子更緊湊、資訊更精煉，顯示你能靈活運用關係子句整合資訊，而不是用簡單句堆疊。學生在描述人物背景時都可以套用，例如：I have a friend whose parents are both doctors，一句話就交代完兩個訊息。
fend for oneself 是一個道地且精準的片語，意思是「自己照顧自己、自力更生」，比起單純寫 take care of themselves 更能傳達出一種「被迫獨自面對、缺乏協助」的弱勢處境，與上下文中描述長者孤立無援的情境高度契合。精準選字是學測作文從「普通」提升到「頂標」的關鍵之一，因為閱卷老師會特別留意考生是否只會用基礎字彙重複表達，還是能選用更貼切傳神的詞彙。學生可以平時整理類似的精準片語庫，並在適當情境套用，例如描寫弱勢族群時用 fend for themselves，描寫壓力情境時可用 under tremendous strain 取代 very stressed。
not only...but also 是常見但容易寫錯平行結構的句型，正確用法要求 not only 與 but also 後面接的詞性或子句結構必須對稱，此處兩邊都接原形動詞片語（lend a hand... / learn the invaluable lesson...），符合平行原則，讀起來才會順暢有節奏感。比起用 and 簡單並列兩個動作，not only...but also 能創造語氣上的遞進效果，強調後者（learn the invaluable lesson）比前者更重要，層次更豐富。學生在列舉兩項重要性遞增的理由時都可以套用，例如：Reading not only broadens our knowledge but also cultivates empathy。
當 Only + 時間/條件副詞子句（如 Only when, Only if, Only by）放在句首以強調其唯一性或必要性時，主要子句必須採用「助動詞提前」的倒裝語序，此處即為 can this event（而非一般語序 this event can）。這種倒裝句是學測作文評分標準中明確列為「進階句型」的代表之一，能有效展現考生對英文句構的掌握度，也讓結尾句更有力道、更具說服力，適合用來總結段落、升華主旨。學生可以把這個句型用在任何段落結尾做總結強調，例如：Only by working together can we solve this problem。
