測驗重點解析
本題重點:even if、practice thoroughly beforehand、encounter an unexpected situation。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 在校內表演中 | during a school performance | during a school performance |
| 即使 | even if | Even if performers have... |
| 事前充分練習 | practice thoroughly beforehand | have practiced thoroughly beforehand |
| 遇到意料之外的狀況 | encounter unexpected situations | may still encounter unexpected situations |
1. Even if + 子句
even if 表示「即使」,引導假設或讓步條件。本句可寫成 Even if performers have practiced..., they may still...。
2. 現在完成式表示先前經驗
練習發生在表演之前,又與表演當下有關,可用現在完成式 have practiced。使用過去式 practiced 也可接受,但全文時態需合理。
3. encounter + 名詞
encounter 是及物動詞,後面直接接 unexpected situations,不加 with。
Even if performers have practiced thoroughly beforehand, they may still encounter unexpected situations during a school performance.
During a school performance, performers may still face unexpected situations even if they have practiced well in advance.
No matter how thoroughly performers prepare, unexpected situations may still arise during a school performance.
不要寫:
Even performers practiced enough before, they still may meet with unexpected condition in school show.
錯誤原因:
even if,不能只用 even 連接子句。still 通常放在情態動詞後:may still encounter。encounter 後直接接受詞,不寫 encounter with。situation,condition 較不自然。school performance 比直譯的 school show 更符合題意。面對失誤時,表演者應迅速調整並繼續演出,而不是停下來責怪自己。
參考答案
When mistakes occur, performers should adjust quickly and continue performing instead of stopping to blame themselves.
測驗重點解析
本題重點:when mistakes occur、adjust quickly、continue performing、instead of + V-ing。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 面對失誤時 | when mistakes occur | When mistakes occur, ... |
| 迅速調整 | adjust quickly | should adjust quickly |
| 繼續演出 | continue performing | continue performing |
| 而不是停下來責怪自己 | instead of stopping to blame themselves | instead of stopping to blame themselves |
1. When + 現在簡單式
本句描述表演中可能發生的一般情況,可用 When mistakes occur, performers should...。
2. continue + V-ing / to V
continue performing 與 continue to perform 都可表示「繼續演出」。前者較精簡。
3. instead of + V-ing
instead of 後接名詞或動名詞,因此寫 instead of stopping。stop to blame themselves 表示「停下來,轉而責怪自己」。
When mistakes occur, performers should adjust quickly and continue performing instead of stopping to blame themselves.
When performers make a mistake, they should adapt quickly and carry on with the performance rather than stop and blame themselves.
Faced with a mistake, performers should recover quickly and keep the performance moving instead of dwelling on what went wrong.
不要寫:
When facing mistake, performers should adjust fast and continue the show, instead stop and blame theirselves.
錯誤原因:
mistake 是可數名詞,單數前需有冠詞,或改用複數 mistakes。adjust 應用副詞 quickly,不是形容詞 fast 的直譯習慣。instead of 不可省略 of,後面接 V-ing。themselves,不是 theirselves。continue performing,避免只寫含義較廣的 continue the show。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:下列兩張圖片呈現某校學生在校內表演(school performance)中遇到突發狀況時的情景。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,說明你對表演中臨場應變的看法。

參考範文
The two pictures show students facing a problem during a school music performance. In Picture A, several pages of sheet music have fallen from a stand. The violinist has stopped playing, lowered his bow, and looks uncertain about what to do next. The audience is waiting while he focuses on the pages scattered onstage. In Picture B, a similar problem has occurred, and two pages lie on the floor. However, the violinist keeps playing from memory. The pianist watches him and provides support. Unlike the first performer, he adjusts to the situation without allowing the accident to end the performance. Unexpected problems can happen even after practice. In my opinion, the best response is to focus on the next useful action instead of thinking about the mistake itself. During a class presentation last year, my computer suddenly failed to display my slides. At first, I wanted to stop, but I took a breath and explained my main points from my note cards. My partner then restarted the computer, and we finished the presentation together. The experience taught me that preparation should include more than repeated practice. Performers can memorize key sections, prepare backup materials, and agree on simple signals with their partners. A small mistake does not have to ruin a performance if people stay flexible and continue with purpose.
寫作技巧解析
本題要求考生根據兩張圖片寫兩段英文作文。第一段應描述學生在校內音樂表演中遇到樂譜掉落時的不同反應;第二段則根據經驗或觀察,說明對表演中臨場應變的看法。
| 段落 | 寫作任務 | 可寫內容 |
|---|---|---|
| 第一段 | 描述並比較圖片 | 兩圖都出現樂譜掉落;圖 A 的小提琴手停止演奏並望向地面,圖 B 的演奏者從記憶繼續演奏,鋼琴伴奏者提供支持 |
| 第二段 | 說明看法與經驗 | 先處理下一個可行動作;準備備用資料、記住關鍵段落、和夥伴約定訊號;可連結報告、比賽或舞台經驗 |
第一段可先指出共同背景:學生在校內音樂表演時遇到樂譜掉落。接著比較人物的可見動作:
| 圖片 | 可描述重點 |
|---|---|
| 圖 A | 多張樂譜散落,演奏者放低琴弓、停止演奏,表情不確定;觀眾正在等待。 |
| 圖 B | 地上同樣有樂譜,演奏者仍保持正確姿勢並從記憶繼續拉琴;鋼琴伴奏者專注配合。 |
可使用 has stopped playing、pages are scattered across the stage、keeps playing from memory 等具體寫法。不要只寫 Picture B is better,也不要自行加入觀眾嘲笑等圖片中沒有的情節。
第二段可依下列順序發展:
範例先以樂譜掉落、琴弓位置和伴奏者反應等可見細節比較兩圖。第二段再轉向課堂簡報時投影片無法顯示的經驗,說明「臨場應變」不只適用於舞台表演。結尾以 stay flexible and continue with purpose 收束,強調調整與完成任務,而非泛泛談論不要緊張。
accident 在範例中指意外小插曲,不代表人身事故;也可改用 unexpected problem。實用字彙與轉承詞

sheet music 通常是不可數概念;若強調張數,可寫 pages of sheet music。perform 是動詞,performance 是名詞,performer 是表演者。practice 在美式英文可作動詞;practise 是英式動詞拼法。adjust to the situation 表示「針對情況調整」,不要寫 adjust the situation。Do not be nervous。
