03 答案與一句解說
題號
答案
一句解說
1
visitors
空白前有 of、後面是 every year,需填複數可數名詞,與 attracts 的主語配合。
2
The school will build a new pool as the old one is too small
摘要保留因果要點,刪去重複修飾,並用 as 代替 because,字數即時下降。
3
restate
摘要要求用自己的措辭重述要點,不是抄錄,也不是逐句翻譯。
4
Therefore
therefore 表示結果;although 表示讓步,however 表示對比。
5
180 words
240 減 60 等於 180,即要刪去四分之三篇幅。
6
36 words over
96 減 60 等於 36;超字數會直接被扣分,寫完要數一次。
7
The founder childhood story
四十字摘要只留最必要的資料;價錢、日期與地點實用,童年軼事屬細節,最先刪。
8
The new system is much faster
改寫要換句式與詞彙而保留意思;照抄原句不算改寫。
9
is
主語核心是 one,動詞用單數 is,即使後面有複數名詞 reasons。
10
Copying shows no understanding and can exceed the word limit; the points must be condensed and reworded
