DSE 英文作文

許多 DSE 考生在寫 Paper 2 英文作文時,常面對「句式單一(次次都用 I think)」和「Vocabulary 太普通」的致命痛點。本文精選 15 個用作替代的高級表達,並拆解 10 個能即時提升 Language 分數的萬能句型,助你搶佔 Google 精選摘要並在試場上突圍奪星!

為什麼 DSE 英文作文只寫 Simple Sentences 拿不到 Level 4?

很多中四至中六的同學在平時 Chur 卷或考 Mock Exam 的時候,往往有一種迷思:「只要我沒有出現明顯的 Grammar error,字數又夠爆,就理所當然能拿到 Level 4 吧?」

答案是:絕對不可能。根據香港考試及評核局(HKEAA)官方的 Paper 2 評卷準則,Language(語言)一欄要達到 Level 4 或以上,核心條件是考生必須靈活運用 “a wide range of sentence structures”(多元化的句式結構)

如果你在表達個人立場、分析社會現象時,通篇都是 “I think digital technology is good because…”, “In my opinion, cyberbullying is bad…” 這類小學、初中程度的 Simple Sentences(簡單句),即使你的文法完全正確,閱卷員在 Language 這項也只會給予 Level 3。考評局非常看重考生能否駕馭 Complex Structures(複合句式)。學會捨棄陳舊的 generic words,改用高階的立場表達方式與複合句型,才是拉高 Language 分數、向 Level 5 邁進的 Writing 提分技巧!

如何在 Exam 房內靈活套用這些句型?(避開失分位)

掌握了這些高級的 Sentence Patterns 後,在實戰中你還需要注意以下三個關鍵的 Writing 提分技巧,否則盲目堆砌只會適得其反:

  1. 依據「文體語氣 (Tone)」進行挑選:如果當年的 Paper 2 要求你寫一封 Formal Letter 給政府官員,或者是一篇對校長發表的 Proposal,那麼使用 It is widely maintained thatFrom an economic perspective 會非常得體。但如果你選答的是有關校園生活、帶有趣味性的 Feature Article,這些句式就顯得過於生硬,此時應用較自然的高階詞彙(如 From where I stand)進行轉化。
  2. 切忌每段重覆相同結構:有些同學在全篇 Argumentative Essay 裡,每一段的第一句(Topic Sentence)都用 It is widely believed that。這種做法會暴露你其實缺乏句式變化的能力。在考評局的評分體系下,這屬於缺乏靈活性(Flexibility),會扣掉 Organization 和 Language 的分數。
  3. 小心文法連帶錯誤 (Grammar error):當你使用如 Seldom do I subscribe to... 這種倒裝句時,一定要注意助動詞 do/does/did 與主語的「主謂一致性」。如果因為想用高級句式而寫出嚴重的文法錯誤,這在閱卷員眼中是極大的扣分項。
