議論文 One-Sided Argumentative Essay

考評局最理想的文章結構：

3正1反 (Counter-argument) + 1駁論 (Rebuttal)；或
3反1正 + 1駁論

簡單說，就是要有3個我方論點，然後指出1個反方論點再進行駁論。

段落分佈：

Introduction
Reason 1
Reason 2
Reason 3
Counter-argument + Rebuttal
Conclusion

3 個我方論點：

如果你贊成題目立場，你可以以 “Firstly / To begin with / First / My first (and most important point) is + Topic Sentence” 為引子，輔以現實生活的例子或相關的數據來加強你的論點。

在寫完第一個論點之後，記得開啟新的段落，使用提示字眼 “Secondly / Second / Next / Furthermore…” 提醒讀者你已經轉向下一個論點。

示範：Whether students should get tattoos or not？的第一個正方論據

Firstly, getting a tattoo can be a form of self-expression for students. Tattoos can represent a person's beliefs, values, and personality, and they can be a way for students to express their individuality. By getting a tattoo, students can create a unique piece of art that is personal to them and can serve as a symbol of their identity. Moreover, as society becomes more accepting of tattoos, they may even be seen as a positive attribute in some industries, such as the creative arts or fashion. By allowing students the freedom to express themselves through tattoos, we are promoting creativity and individuality, which are important values in our society.

1 個敵方論點 (Counter-argument)：

議論文最重要的是要提供全面的論據，因此必須兼顧反方的論點，而不只是關注我方的論點。在轉換到反方論據時，可以使用以下轉折詞：“However / Nonetheless / On the flip side”，以提示讀者現在您將要談論反方的論點。

提示詞：

Some people argue that...
However, it could be argued that...
On the other hand...
Despite this, some may claim that...
Admittedly, there are some who believe that...

1 個駁論 (Rebuttal)：

在 Rebuttal 部分，可以使用以下提示詞：

Nevertheless / Nonetheless / Despite this...
However, it is important to note that...
While this may be true, it is also important to consider...
Although it may seem that..., in reality...
It is easy to see why one might believe..., but upon closer examination...

同學在寫駁論時，除了要注意邏輯思維外，也要注意語氣的掌握，避免過度攻擊對方立場，以免影響整篇文章的品質。

示範：Whether students should get tattoos or not？的反方論點和駁論

On the other hand, some may argue that tattoos can have negative effects on a student's future. Some employers may view visible tattoos as unprofessional or inappropriate, and this could limit job opportunities for students with tattoos. While it is true that tattoos may not be accepted in all industries, it is important to note that times are changing and tattoos are becoming more mainstream. In fact, many businesses and industries are now embracing tattoos as a form of self-expression and creativity. Furthermore, with advancements in technology, tattoos can now be removed or covered up if a student does change their mind in the future. Overall, the benefits of allowing students the freedom to express themselves through tattoos outweigh the potential negative consequences, and we should trust students to make their own decisions about their bodies and futures.

書信 Letter

HKDSE English Paper 2 的書信型文體通常是

正式信函 Formal Letter，例如：Letter to the editor / Letter to the principal
非正式信函 Informal Letter，例如：Letter of advice / Letter to parents

正式信函 Formal Letter 需要注意的地方：

建議盡量避免使用縮寫，例如 I'm, you're, we're
當你知道收信人的姓名時，最好使用他們的姓氏，例如： Dear Mr. Li；但如果你不知道收信人的姓名，可以統稱為 Dear Sir / Madam
在書信的結尾中，你應該使用適當的問候語，如果你知道收信人的姓名，可以使用 Yours sincerely；但如果你不知道收信人的姓名，可以使用 Yours faithfully

首段示範：寫信 Letter to principal 建議取消考試

Dear Ms Lee,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the current examination system in our school. As a student, I have witnessed firsthand the stress and pressure that students face during exam periods. The high-stake nature of exams not only affects our mental and physical health, but it also creates a competitive atmosphere that discourages learning for the sake of learning. Therefore, I would like to suggest ...

首段示範：寫信 Letter to friend 游說朋友 take a gap year

Hi Simon,

I hope this letter finds you well! As I approach the end of my high school journey, I find myself reflecting on the next steps to take. Guess what? I've decided to take a gap year before heading off to college. I remember we chatted about this before. I think it's worth considering and I hope it can be something you find interesting too!

計劃書 Proposal

Markers' Report 所述的考生經常忽略的地方：

計劃書需要清晰、簡潔地描述你的提案，讓讀者一目了然，避免過度冗長或不必要的內容
必須指出計劃的目標和目的，以及你這個提案/建議能夠解決甚麼問題
提供詳細、具體的計劃細節，包括預算、時間表、目標對象 ...
按照格式要求，有時考卷會預先提供副標題 (Sub-heading) 給考生，但一般情況考生需要自己劃分計劃書的分部 (請見以下示範)

計劃書 Proposal 常見格式：標題及副標題

Title

[ Introduction / Objective / Background ]

[ Proposal Details ]

* Sub-heading 視乎你有幾多 points，常見 sub-heading 如下：

-- [ Date, time and venue ]

-- [ Activities proposed ]

-- [ Budget / cost breakdown ]

[ Conclusion ]

演講辭 Speech

考生需要撰寫的演講辭可分為以下幾種：

活動開幕禮的致歡迎辭 Welcoming speech
致謝辭或祝辭 Thank-you speech, Farewell speech
早會致辭 Assembly speech

考生通常需要以不同身分，如學生會主席、節目司儀或活動負責人的身分，撰寫演講辭，因此考生對語境意識的把握是評分首要考量。

首段示範：科技創新活動開幕禮的致歡迎辭 Welcoming speech

Good morning/afternoon/evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of [Company/Organization Name], it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the opening ceremony of our latest technological innovation. Today marks an important milestone for us, and we are honored to have you all here to share this special moment with us. We have been working tirelessly to bring this project to fruition, and we cannot wait to showcase the amazing features and capabilities of our latest technology to you all.

尾段示範：致謝辭 Thank-you speech

Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for taking the time to be here today. I hope that this event can provide you with a glimpse into the world of technology and the exciting developments that lie ahead.

如何拿捏語境意識？

構思演講辭時，考生必須確定演講的受眾 Target audience 及目的 Objective。有可能是向全班同學呼籲參加某項活動，或向老師表達謝意，或向參與活動的人士介紹某一議題
演講辭的內容變化十分大，很難預測，考生需要具備應變的能力
在演講辭的格式上，記住簡潔原則十分重要。開場白不必太冗長，直接進入正題，結尾再表達一次謝意即可，避免冗長乏味的演說
