英語講授專業課程
近年來,很多大學鼓勵教授以英語講授專業課程,請寫一篇英文作文,說明你對這個現象的看法。文分兩段,第一段說明你是否認同這個趨勢並陳述理由;第二段說明如果你未來就讀的大學必修課是以英語授課,你將會如何因應或規劃。

The growing trend of English-medium instruction (EMI) at Taiwanese universities is one I largely support, though with certain reservations. In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to discuss one's field fluently in English is no longer a luxury but a professional necessity. Students who learn subject matter in English are better equipped to read international research, collaborate with overseas peers, and compete in the global job market. That said, if EMI is poorly implemented — with professors who lack the language proficiency to explain complex concepts clearly — it risks sacrificing depth of understanding for the sake of appearance. Therefore, universities should invest in faculty training and provide bilingual supplementary materials to ensure that language becomes a bridge rather than a barrier. Were I required to take core courses taught entirely in English, I would approach the challenge systematically. Before each lecture, I would preview the assigned readings and look up field-specific terminology so that I could follow the professor's explanations without constantly losing the thread. During class, I would take notes in a combination of English and Chinese, allowing me to capture ideas quickly while preserving accuracy. After class, I would join or organize a study group where classmates could discuss the material in whichever language helped us understand it best. Far from seeing EMI as a burden, I would treat it as a valuable opportunity to sharpen both my academic knowledge and my English proficiency simultaneously.
技巧說明(6)
這是假設語氣的「倒裝條件句」,將 If I were 改寫成 Were I,省略連接詞 if 並把助動詞提前。這種寫法在正式議論文中非常加分,能立刻展現學生掌握進階文法的能力。學生可套用句型:Were I in that situation, I would... / Were she to agree, we could...
用 though with certain reservations 這個「讓步片語」,在一句話內同時表達「支持但有保留」,立場清晰又不武斷,是議論文開場的高分技巧。學生可學習在表態時加上類似的修飾語,如 though not without concerns 或 albeit with some conditions,避免論點過於絕對。
no longer A but B 是強而有力的對比句型,而將形容詞 necessary 名詞化為 necessity,搭配 luxury,形成高度對稱的語意對比,讀來簡潔有力。這種「名詞化+對比」的搭配是學測高分作文常見的表達方式,學生可套用:X is no longer a privilege but a basic requirement。
破折號(em dash)用來插入補充說明,讓句子在不打斷主幹的前提下增加具體細節,是英文寫作中展現細膩度的技巧。此句同時使用 risk + V-ing 這個固定搭配(risk sacrificing),比 may sacrifice 更道地、更書面。建議學生練習用破折號在長句中插入例子或解釋。
allowing me to... 是分詞構句,說明前一個動作所帶來的「結果或效果」,讓兩個想法合併在一個句子裡,避免出現兩個短句拼接的情況(如 I would take notes. This allows me to...)。學生可套用:..., enabling/allowing + 受詞 + to V,例如 She studied abroad, broadening her worldview considerably。
Far from + V-ing 放句首,形成「倒裝強調」,語氣上先否定負面看法、再正面陳述,論證力道比直接說 I don't see EMI as a burden 強得多。結尾使用 both...and... 的平行結構,同時提及兩個收穫,讓結論更有說服力。這是議論文收尾的絕佳句型,學生務必熟練。
