The Thing I Like to Do Most After I Enter a College

        The thing I like to do most after I enter a college is to travel to America.  I have been longing to go to America for a trip. However, it seemed that I had never had much time and money to do so during my high school days.  If I were lucky enough to become a college student, I would spend the whole summer vacation in AmericaLos Angeles would be the first place that I want to visit.  I like to go to Disneyland and Universal Studio, where I believe I will have a lot of fun.  San Francisco is another city where I will never miss.  The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge appeals to me.  Besides, I will visit Yosemite National Park, which is famous for its spectacular scenes and various kinds of wildlife.

      To make my dream come true, I should practice speaking English as best as I can, so that I can communicate with Americans without any difficulty.  In addition, I have to find a part-time job to earn a little money.  To sum up, visiting America is the thing I like to do most after I go to college.  However, what I have to do now is study hard and enter a good college.  In this way, I can carry out my dream in the near future.

上大學以後我最想做的事

上大學以後我最想做的事就是去美國旅遊。我一直渴望去美國旅行。然而,我在高中時代,似乎沒有錢也沒有許多時間這麼做。如果我很幸運能夠成為大學生,我要在美國待上一整個暑假。洛杉磯將是我想去的第一個城市,我想去狄士尼樂園和環球製片場,我會在那裡玩得很開心。舊金山也是我不願錯過的一個城市,美麗的金門大橋吸引著我。此外,我也要去優勝美地國家公園參觀,那裡以壯觀的景色及各種野生動物而聞名。

為了使夢想成真,我要盡可能練習說好英文,如此才能毫無困難地與美國人溝通。此外,我必須找一個兼差的工作來賺一些錢。總之,去美國玩是我考上大學以後最想做的一件事。然後,現在我必須要努力用功並且考上一所好大學,這樣,才可能在不久的將來實現自己的夢想。

 

解析

本篇文章分成兩段。第一段以主題句“The thing I like to do most after I enter a college is to travel to America,”來表達自己上大學後最想做的事,接著敘述要如何去實現這個夢想。第二段一開始的主題句“To make my dream come true, I should practice speaking English as best as I can…”敘述自己為了實現理想,必須採行的步驟。總結是目前要努力先考上一所好大學,再按部就班使美夢成真。整篇文章敘事清晰,並以實際可行的做法來加以說明。內容完整詳實,也兼顧了一致性與連貫性,是很典型的記敘文寫作範文。

Part3 寫作範例

My Favorite Subject

        Of all the school subjects, I like English best.  It is not only because English is an interesting subject but because we can learn a foreign language.  As everyone knows, English has become a universal language.  It is widely spoken in the world.  If we can speak English fluently, we will be able to communicate with foreigners without difficulty.  In addition, English provides access to world scholarship and trade.  Most of the latest information is written in English.  People who deal with foreigners in business also speak English.  I think English will be a great help in my advanced studies and future career.

      On the other hand, English is a required course in senior high school education in Taiwan.  We have to attend English classes for eight hours a week.  My English teacher is very concerned about us and has enthusiasm for teaching English.  She always encourages us to study hard and makes every effort to arouse our interest in learning English.  In a word, English is my favorite subject.  I will take advantage of every chance to sharpen my skills in speaking, listening and writing English.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 


中譯

我最喜歡的科目

  在所有的學科中,我最喜歡英文,不只是因為英文是一門有趣的學科,也因為我們可以學會一種外語。正如同每個人都知道的,英文已經成為一種世界語言。在世界上許多人都使用英語。我們如果可以說流利的英文,就能夠與外國人溝通,毫無困難。此外,英文也提供了一條途徑去接觸國際學術及貿易。大部份的最新資訊都是以英文寫成,和外國人做生意也需要說英文,我認為英文在我未來的深造及職業上,都將有極大助益。

  從另一方面而言,英文課在台灣的高中教育上是一門必修課,我們一週上八小時英文課,而我的英老師也非常關心我們,她更熱衷於教學。她總是鼓勵我們努力用功,也盡力引起我們學英文的興趣。總之,英文是我最喜歡的科目,我要善用每個機會去磨練我在英文聽、說、讀、寫四方面的能力。

 

解析

  本篇文章分成兩段,第一段寫主題句,“Of all the school subject, I like English best.”接著寫出原因,為何(Why)作者喜歡英文。第二段,以一個轉接詞On the other hand,來敘述上英文課的方式、時間及老師的鼓勵。最後以自我期許來做評論,語氣連貫,前後呼應,並將記敘文的各種寫作技巧,加以混合運用,是一篇成功的範文。

The Thing that I am Proud of Most

        I used to be proud of my capability to make a lot of friends.  I always devote the best part of my life to my friends.  I share with them my happiness and sadness, and they do the same for me.  Friendship makes my life colorful and cheerful.

      Last summer I spent one month in California as a visiting student.  I had to study at a school and stay at a host family.  There were seven people in their family, including the parents, four sisters and one little brother.  During the one-month stay, I had to adapt myself to their American lifestyle and help them understand the best part of Chinese culture.  With my great efforts, they all became my best friends or I should say that I had become a member of the family.

      I have proved that friendship can help enhance mutual under-standing among people from different countries.  Furthermore, friendship fills our life with fullness, fineness and completeness.  In a word, being able to win their friendship in a very short time is the thing that I am proud of most in my life.

 


中譯

我最引以為傲的一件事

  我以前經常以有能力結交很多朋友而自豪,我總是把人生中最好的部份奉獻給朋友,我與他們分享自己的快樂與悲傷,他們也是如此,友誼使我的人生多彩多姿,非常愉悅。

  去年夏天,我到加州去遊學一個月,必須在一所學校唸書,並住在寄宿家庭中。他們家有七個人,包括父母、四個妹妹和一個小弟弟。在我停留的一個月當中,我必須適應他們美國人的生活方式,並且幫助他們了解中華文化的精華。經過我的努力,他們都變成了我的好朋友,或者我該說是我已成為他們家的一份子。

  我已經證明友誼可以幫助來自不同國家的人增進相互了解,此外,友誼使我們的人生充實,美好而完整。簡言之,能夠在非常短的時間內贏得他們的友誼,是我一生中最驕傲的一件事。

 

解析

  本篇文章作者以時間順序(Chronological Order)來敘述他最自豪的一件事。其寫作技巧可由文章格式中看出。第一段為主題句(Topic Sentence) I used to be proud of my capability to make a lot of friends.其次提供背景資料(Background Information),說明遊學的時間、地點、方式。並報導在遊學過程中,與寄宿家庭的成員變成朋友的情形。最後一段則是作者的感想以及評論(Explanation or Comment)。本文是相當標準的記敘文體。
