洗衣服看似簡單,但材質或顏色不同的衣物未必適合一起清洗。
參考答案
Doing laundry may seem simple, but clothes of different materials or colors may not be suitable for washing together.
測驗重點解析
本題重點:doing laundry、may seem + 形容詞、clothes of different materials or colors、be suitable for + V-ing。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 洗衣服 | do laundry | Doing laundry... |
| 看似簡單 | may seem simple | may seem simple |
| 材質或顏色不同的衣物 | clothes of different materials or colors | clothes of different materials or colors |
| 未必適合 | may not be suitable for | may not be suitable for washing together |
| 一起清洗 | wash together | washing together |
1. 動名詞作主詞
Doing laundry 是動名詞片語,在句中作主詞,視為單數,因此若使用現在式動詞,應搭配單數形式。
2. may seem + 形容詞
may seem simple 表示「可能看起來很簡單」。seem 後接形容詞,不寫成 seem simply。
3. be suitable for + V-ing
be suitable for 表示「適合……」,介系詞 for 後接名詞或動名詞:suitable for washing together。
Doing laundry may seem simple, but clothes of different materials or colors may not be suitable for washing together.
Laundry may look easy, but some clothes should be washed separately because of their material or color.
Although doing laundry appears straightforward, garments made of different materials or in different colors are not always safe to wash in the same load.
不要寫:
Wash clothes seems simply, but different material and color clothes may not suitable to wash together.
錯誤原因:
Doing laundry,不可直接用原形動詞 Wash。seem 後接形容詞 simple,不是副詞 simply。clothes 為複數,且應寫 clothes of different materials or colors。may not 後須有原形動詞 be:may not be suitable。suitable for 後接動名詞,不寫 suitable to wash。啟動洗衣機前,先查看洗滌標示(care label)並將衣物分類,可以降低衣物受損的風險。
參考答案
Before starting the washing machine, checking the care labels and sorting the clothes can lower the risk of damaging them.
測驗重點解析
本題重點:before + V-ing、check the care label、sort the clothes、lower the risk of + V-ing。
| 中文 | 英文用法 | 題目例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 啟動洗衣機前 | before starting the washing machine | Before starting the washing machine, ... |
| 查看洗滌標示 | check the care label | checking the care labels |
| 將衣物分類 | sort the clothes | sorting the clothes |
| 降低……的風險 | lower the risk of | lower the risk of damaging them |
| 衣物受損 | damage the clothes | damaging them |
1. before + V-ing
當前後動作的執行者相同時,可用 before + V-ing 簡潔表達「在……之前」:before starting the washing machine。
2. check the care label
care label 指衣物上的洗滌與保養標示。若泛指多件衣物上的標示,可使用複數 care labels。
3. sort + 受詞
sort the clothes 表示將衣物依材質、顏色或清洗方式分類。若要補充分類依據,可寫 sort the clothes by color。
4. lower the risk of + V-ing
lower the risk of damaging them 表示降低損壞衣物的風險。介系詞 of 後接動名詞 damaging。
Before starting the washing machine, checking the care labels and sorting the clothes can lower the risk of damaging them.
We can reduce the chance of damaging our clothes by checking their care labels and sorting them before turning on the washing machine.
Checking each garment's care label and separating the laundry before a wash cycle helps protect clothes from unnecessary damage.
不要寫:
Before start the washing machine, see the care labels and classify clothes can reduce the risk to damage them.
錯誤原因:
before 後若接動作,使用 starting,不可寫 before start。check the care labels,see 只表示看見,不含確認之意。sort,不是 classify。checking... and sorting...。the risk of damaging,不是 the risk to damage。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清洗衣物時的不同情景。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,說明你在做家事時如何避免因疏忽造成問題。

參考範文
The two pictures show a student doing laundry in different ways. In Picture A, he has taken a mixed load out of an overfilled washing machine. Soap bubbles cover the floor, and he looks shocked as he holds up a sweater that has become much smaller. Light and dark clothes are tangled around the machine. In Picture B, the same student prepares carefully before washing. He checks the care label on a shirt and puts clothes into two separate baskets. The floor is clean, and he looks calm and ready. During household chores, I try to understand the task before beginning. For laundry, I empty every pocket, separate clothes by color, and check whether delicate items need hand washing. I also measure the detergent carefully instead of guessing. These habits came from a mistake last year. I washed a new dark towel with a white school shirt, and the shirt turned gray. Since then, I have learned that a few minutes of preparation can protect clothes, save money, and reduce extra work. The same idea applies to other chores. Before cleaning a surface or using an appliance, I read the instructions and gather the right tools. If something is unclear, I ask a family member instead of rushing. Preparation may seem slow, but it helps me finish safely and efficiently.
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。第一段應描述學生清洗衣物時的兩種情景並比較差異;第二段則根據經驗或觀察,說明自己在做家事時如何避免因疏忽造成問題。
| 段落 | 寫作任務 | 可寫內容 |
|---|---|---|
| 第一段 | 描述並比較圖片 | 圖 A 的洗衣機塞入混合衣物、泡沫溢出,學生拿著縮小的毛衣;圖 B 的學生先查看洗滌標示並將衣物分籃 |
| 第二段 | 說明避免家事疏忽的方法 | 開始前了解步驟、檢查物品、準備正確工具,並加入一次犯錯後改變做法的經驗 |
先交代共同背景:同一名學生正在家中處理衣物。接著根據畫面中的動作、物件與結果比較兩圖:
| 圖片 | 可描述重點 |
|---|---|
| 圖 A | 洗衣機裝入混合衣物並溢出泡沫;地上散落衣物,學生拿著明顯縮小的毛衣,神情驚訝。 |
| 圖 B | 洗衣機尚未啟動;學生查看衣物上的洗滌標示,並將淺色與深色衣物放入不同洗衣籃。 |
可使用 a mixed load、an overfilled washing machine、hold up a shrunken sweater、check the care label、sort clothes into separate baskets 等具體寫法。圖片能呈現毛衣縮小與泡沫溢出的結果,但不能證明所有衣物都已受損,描述時不宜誇大。
第二段可依下列順序發展:
範例第一段依照洗衣機、泡沫、縮小的毛衣、洗滌標示與洗衣籃進行比較,畫面描述具體。第二段先列出可操作的洗衣步驟,再以白襯衫被深色毛巾染灰的經驗說明做法如何改變,最後自然延伸到其他家事,完整回應題目。
laundry 通常作不可數名詞;do the laundry 或 do laundry 都可表示洗衣服。sort clothes by color 是依顏色分類,separate A from B 是把 A 與 B 分開。the sweater shrank 或 a shrunken sweater。實用字彙與轉承詞
