問題: What public morals should people follow in your country?

思路 1

Respect and Politeness
尊重和禮貌
考官答案
I think being polite when talking to others is important. Many young people forget to use "please" and "thank you" nowadays, but these words really matter in daily talk. It's very rude not to say them in a shop to the person helping you. Being polite is a simple way to show you care about others.
我認為與他人交談時保持禮貌是很重要的。現在許多年輕人都忘記使用「請」和「謝謝」,但這些詞在日常交談中真的很重要。在商店裡不說這些話給幫助你的人是非常無禮的。保持禮貌是一種簡單的方式,表明你關心他人。
I’d definitely say speaking in a polite way to others. The magic words "please" and "thank you" seem to have been forgotten by lots of younger people today and it makes such a difference in everyday communication. It’s incredibly rude to buy something in a shop and not say them to the person serving you. It’s a way of showing consideration to others and it is so easy to do.
我絕對會說對他人說話要有禮貌。 「請」和「謝謝」這些魔法詞似乎被很多年輕人忘記了,這在日常溝通中會有很大的不同。在商店購物時不說這些話給服務你的人是非常無禮的。這是一種對他人的考慮方式,而且也非常容易做到。
語法分析
使用了肯定的態度:"我絕對會說" 這種肯定的說法表示了強烈的意見,增加了句子的語氣和明確性。 被動語態:"已經被遺忘" 使用被動語態表明"please"和"thank you"被忘記了,顯示了這些詞被動地失去了重要性,增加了句子的複雜性。

思路 2

Cleanliness and Environmental Responsibility
清潔和環境責任。
考官答案
Definitely not throwing rubbish on the ground. It's so annoying that some people still litter, even when a bin is close by. And smokers often don't think their cigarette butts are litter, but they are. It's frustrating, and it seems like even with the government talking about it, people don't change their habits.
絕對不能隨地亂丟垃圾。有時候看到有些人即使垃圾桶就在旁邊,還是會亂丟垃圾,真是令人生氣。吸煙者也常常不覺得他們的煙蒂算是垃圾,但其實是的。很令人沮喪,看來就算政府談論此議題,人們也不改變習慣。
For sure, not littering. It’s infuriating that, in this day and age, there are still people who throw their rubbish on the floor, sometimes even when there is a bin within arm’s reach. Smokers also think that their cigarette butts aren’t counted as litter and still throw them on the floor. It drives me mad and it seems that no matter how much the government highlights this issue, people can’t change their ways.
當然,不要亂丟垃圾。在這個時代,仍然有人將垃圾扔在地上,有時甚至就在手臂可及的地方還有垃圾桶。吸煙者也認為他們的煙蒂不算是垃圾,還是會隨地丟棄。這讓我瘋狂,政府再怎麼強調這個問題,人們似乎還是改不了他們的行為。
語法分析
現在分詞作主語:"not littering" 使用現在分詞短語“not littering”作為主語,強調不亂丟垃圾的重要性,增加了句子的信息量和準確性。 條件狀語從句:"even when there is a bin within arm’s reach" 使用條件狀語從句來描述一個特定情況,即即使垃圾桶很近,人們仍然亂丟垃圾,增加了句子的複雜性和具體性。 因果關係:"It drives me mad" 這個因果關係句子表達了亂丟垃圾的行為對說話者的影響,即讓他感到憤怒,強調了行為的負面影響。

思路 3

Social Responsibility and Community Engagement
社會責任和社區參與
考官答案
I wish people would volunteer more in their communities. Nowadays, we're so focused on our own lives that we don't notice what's happening around us. Volunteering doesn't have to take a lot of time. Even simple things like checking on elderly neighbors used to be common, but now, not many people do it.
我希望人們能更多在他們的社區做義工。現在,我們都太專注在自己的生活上,而忽略了周遭發生的事情。做義工並不需要花費很多時間。就算是像去關心年長鄰居這樣簡單的事情曾經很常見,但現在卻沒有多少人在做。
Volunteering in the community is something I’d like to see people do more of. We seem so wrapped up in our own worlds these days that we don’t see what’s happening around us in our own communities. It doesn’t have to be time consuming either. Something like just checking in on elderly neighbors used to be commonplace, but nowadays fewer and few people do it.
在社區做義工是我希望看到更多人做的事情。我們這些天似乎太過於沉浸在自己的世界中,以致於忽略了我們自己社區裡正在發生的事情。這也不必花費很多時間。像是常見的關心年長鄰居的行為,現在卻越來越少人做了。
語法分析
動名詞作主語:"Volunteering in the community" 使用動名詞片語“Volunteering in the community”作為主語,突顯了主題,即社區志願服務的重要性。 現在進行時:"We seem so wrapped up" 使用現在進行時態表達了一種當前普遍的狀態,即人們專注於自己的生活,增加了句子的現實感和時效性。 比較級:"fewer and fewer people" 使用比較級結構來表達一種逐漸減少的趨勢,即越來越少的人去探望年長鄰居,增加了句子的動態感。
