參考範文
One ordinary afternoon, a high school student named Jack was taking the MRT home. He comfortably occupied a priority seat, completely engrossed in playing video games on his smartphone. Selfishly, he turned a blind eye to a frail, elderly man with a cane standing right in front of him. However, karma struck just a few days later. While playing an intense basketball game with his classmates, Jack landed awkwardly on the court and severely sprained his ankle. With his leg in a cast, he had no choice but to rely on a pair of crutches to get around. The following day, Jack hobbled into a crowded MRT carriage, desperately needing a seat to rest his aching leg. To his dismay, the priority seats were taken by a young girl and a middle-aged man, both of whom completely ignored his presence. Standing painfully with his crutches, Jack finally tasted his own medicine. He suddenly realized how arrogant and indifferent he had been to the old man earlier. Eventually, a kind woman offered him her regular seat, which made him feel even more ashamed. From this painful experience, Jack learned a vital lesson about empathy: we should always put ourselves in others' shoes and offer our seats to those in need.
寫作技巧解析
根據 102 年作文考題,這是一篇經典的「四格連環漫畫」看圖寫作,主題探討「博愛座(Priority Seats)的讓座品德與同理心」。圖片描述如下:
這題屬於 「看圖敘事(記敘文)+ 現世報的轉折與省思」 的結構,強烈建議採用以下安排:
圖 1(自私與無視):
具體描繪主角(如 Jack)霸佔博愛座(priority seat),沉浸在智慧型手機的遊戲中(engrossed in his smartphone)。他故意對眼前一位虛弱、拄著拐杖的老爺爺「視而不見」(turn a blind eye to)。
圖 2(報應降臨):
筆鋒一轉,描寫幾天後,Jack 在一場激烈的籃球賽中笨拙地摔倒,嚴重扭傷腳踝(sprained his ankle),必須打上石膏、拄著拐杖行走。
圖 3(角色對調的無助):
描寫拄著拐杖的 Jack 艱難地走進車廂,極度需要座位。然而,博愛座上的乘客卻同樣無視他的存在。此時他終於體會到那位老爺爺當初的痛苦(tasted his own medicine)。
圖 4(想像結局與省思):
結局可以設定為「他一路痛苦地站著」,或「一位好心的阿姨最後讓座給他,讓他感到無地自容(ashamed)」。最後必須點出核心主旨:「同理心(empathy)」與「換位思考(put oneself in others' shoes)」 的重要性。
