本題重點：bring companionship and joy to...、devote ... to ...、over the long term。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 為家庭帶來陪伴與歡樂 | bring companionship and joy to a family | Pets can bring companionship and joy to a family. |
| 飼主 | pet owner | their owners |
| 投入時間、金錢與心力 | devote time, money, and effort to... | devote time, money, and effort to them |
| 長期 | over the long term | over the long term |
句型說明
1. bring + 事物 + to + 對象
「為家庭帶來陪伴與歡樂」可寫成 bring companionship and joy to a family。companionship 是不可數名詞，表示相伴帶來的情感支持。
2. devote + 時間／心力 + to + 名詞
devote A to B 表示「把 A 投入 B」。介系詞 to 後可接名詞或動名詞，例如 devote time to caring for a pet。
3. over the long term
「長期」可用 over the long term 或 in the long run。本題強調持續投入，前者更直接。
參考答案
Pets can bring companionship and joy to a family, but their owners must also devote time, money, and effort to them over the long term.
推薦答案
Although pets can bring a family companionship and happiness, their owners must make a long-term commitment of time, money, and effort.
加分寫法
Pets may fill a home with companionship and joy, but caring for them also requires a lasting commitment of time, money, and effort.
常見錯誤
不要寫：
Pets can bring accompany and happy for a family, but owners must spend time, money and spirits on it for a long time.
錯誤原因：
- 「陪伴」在此需用名詞
companionship，不是動詞accompany。 - 「歡樂」需用名詞
joy或happiness，不是形容詞happy。 bring ... to a family的介系詞是to，不是for。pets為複數，後面代名詞需一致用them，不能改成it。- 「投入心力」自然寫法是
devote effort，不是spend spirits。

因此，在把動物帶回家之前，人們應仔細評估自己的生活方式，並確定能照顧牠的一生。
參考答案
Therefore, before bringing an animal home, people should carefully consider their lifestyle and make sure they can care for it throughout its life.
測驗重點解析
測驗重點解析
本題重點：before + V-ing、consider one’s lifestyle、make sure + 子句、throughout one’s life。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 在把動物帶回家之前 | before bringing an animal home | Before bringing an animal home, ... |
| 仔細評估生活方式 | carefully consider one’s lifestyle | carefully consider their lifestyle |
| 確定…… | make sure + 子句 | make sure they can... |
| 照顧牠的一生 | care for it throughout its life | care for it throughout its life |
句型說明
1. Before + V-ing
當 before 前後動作的執行者相同時，可用 before + V-ing 簡化：Before bringing an animal home, people should...。
2. consider + 名詞
consider 表示「仔細考慮、評估」時直接接受詞，不加 about。因此寫 consider their lifestyle，不是 consider about their lifestyle。
3. make sure + 子句
「確定能……」可用 make sure they can...。make sure 後接完整子句，主詞與助動詞不可省略。
4. throughout + 時間
throughout its life 表示「在牠一生之中」，比只寫 for a long time 更精確。
參考答案
Therefore, before bringing an animal home, people should carefully consider their lifestyle and make sure they can care for it throughout its life.
推薦答案
Therefore, people should carefully evaluate their way of life before bringing an animal home and ensure that they can care for it for the rest of its life.
加分寫法
For this reason, anyone thinking of keeping a pet should first consider whether their lifestyle allows them to provide lifelong care.
常見錯誤
不要寫：
Therefore, before bring an animal to home, people should consider about their life style and make sure can take care it all its life.
錯誤原因：
before後接動詞時用V-ing：before bringing。bring an animal home的home前不加to。lifestyle通常寫成一個字。consider後直接接受詞，不寫consider about。make sure後需有完整子句：make sure they can...。take care of不可省略介系詞of；也可直接用care for。
二、英文作文（占 20 分）
說明：依提示在「答案卷」上寫一篇英文作文。文長至少 120 個單詞（words）。 提示：下列兩張圖片呈現一名學生飼養寵物（keeping a pet）的不同情景。請以此為主題，寫一篇英文作文，文分兩段。第一段描述兩張圖片的內容，並比較兩者的差異；第二段則根據你的經驗或觀察，說明人在決定飼養寵物前應考量哪些事情。
參考範文
The two pictures show moments in a student’s life with a dog. In Picture A, the student has brought home a puppy and is playing with it. He seems attracted by the animal’s cuteness, while a family member looks surprised and worried. In Picture B, the student is taking care of the dog. He is putting food into a bowl and cleaning the dog’s bed. A leash and a weekly schedule are nearby, suggesting that feeding, walking, and cleaning must be done regularly. The second picture reveals the work behind the excitement shown in the first one. In my opinion, people should think carefully before keeping a pet because the decision affects a living creature for many years. A pet needs not only food and a place to sleep but also exercise, medical care, attention, and patience. Before bringing one home, a family should discuss who will handle these duties and whether they have enough time and money. My cousin once wanted a dog after seeing a cute puppy, but she first helped care for a neighbor’s dog for two weeks. She then realized that walks could not be skipped, even on rainy or busy days. That experience taught her that love for an animal should be shown through dependable action, not a moment of excitement.
寫作技巧解析
英文作文範例解析：飼養寵物前的長期責任
本題要求考生根據兩張圖片寫兩段英文作文。第一段應描述學生剛把小狗帶回家，以及日後實際照顧小狗的不同情景；第二段則根據經驗或觀察，說明人在決定飼養寵物前應考量的事情。
寫作架構
| 段落 | 寫作任務 | 可寫內容 |
|---|---|---|
| 第一段 | 描述並比較圖片 | 圖 A 中學生因小狗可愛而興奮，家人卻顯得意外或擔心；圖 B 中學生餵食、清理睡墊，旁邊有牽繩與行程表 |
| 第二段 | 說明考量與看法 | 寵物需要長期的時間、金錢、醫療與陪伴；家人應先討論分工；可連結照顧動物的經驗 |
第一段：圖片描述與比較
第一段可先用 different moments in a student’s life with a new dog 交代兩圖的共同背景，再指出兩張圖的對比：
| 圖片 | 可描述重點 |
|---|---|
| 圖 A | 學生背著書包，興奮地抱著剛帶回家的小狗；家人站在後方，神情意外又擔心。 |
| 圖 B | 學生為狗倒飼料、擦拭睡墊；地上有牽繩，旁邊的行程表暗示照顧工作需要固定進行。 |
描述時不要只寫 He likes the dog very much。可用 has just brought home a puppy、looks surprised and worried、is putting food into a bowl 等具體動作，讓比較更有畫面。
第二段：看法與經驗
第二段可依下列順序發展：
- 提出主張：決定養寵物前要慎重思考，因為選擇會影響一個生命多年。
- 列出具體考量：時間、費用、散步、清潔、醫療、陪伴與家庭分工。
- 加入個人經驗或觀察，例如曾協助照顧別人的寵物，才發現日常工作不能因忙碌或天候而中斷。
- 用「喜愛應透過可靠行動表現」收束全文。
這篇作文的優點
範例以小狗的可愛帶來的短暫興奮，對比餵食、清潔與散步等持續工作。第二段沒有停在抽象的 Pets are important，而是列出家庭在飼養前應討論的責任，並用協助鄰居照顧小狗的經驗支持觀點。結尾句 love for an animal should be shown through dependable action 能自然扣回主題。
小提醒
keep a pet或have a pet表示「飼養寵物」；避免只用buy a pet，以免把重點縮成購買行為。- 第一段描述可見內容，第二段再解釋責任與判斷，段落功能會更清楚。
- 若沒有真實養寵物經驗，可寫親友、鄰居或新聞中的觀察，不必虛構自己是飼主。

小提醒
pet指寵物；animal範圍較廣。描述自己的狗可交替使用the dog、the puppy、the animal。care作「照顧」時通常不可數，例如proper care、medical care。responsible是形容詞；「承擔責任」要寫take responsibility。walk a dog是「遛狗」，不是walk with a dog的唯一意思。- 不要把第二段寫成責罵不負責任的飼主；聚焦飼養前的實際考量，語氣會更符合正式作文。
