主題寫作
A Charitable Anniversary
如果你就讀的學校預計在校慶那天舉辦一項義賣活動,針對義賣所得的款項,校方初步討論出三個捐助的對象:(一)浪浪毛小孩;(二)獨居老人;(三)貧童就學。這三個捐助對象,你會選擇哪一項?請以此為題,寫一篇英文作文,文長至少 120 個單詞(words)。文分兩段,第一段說明你的選擇及原因,第二段敘述你認為這項義賣活動應該要有哪些內容,以及人們可以從中獲得什麼經驗或啟發。
範文一:
My school will have a charity sale on its anniversary. The earnings will be used to help stray animals, old people who live alone, or children who can’t afford to go to school. As far as I’m concerned, I want to help stray animals, because I advocate for animal rights and support no-kill shelters. I can’t stand the thought of ending the life of a dog or cat simply because it is unwanted.
As part of the charity sale, the school should issue a booklet about the harsh living conditions of stray animals. In addition, they can invite volunteers to bring some animals for people to play with. They can also describe the procedures for adopting a pet. I hope this will encourage people to adopt an animal from a shelter that would otherwise be put to sleep. Hopefully, at the charity sale, people can learn to care for animals and realize how the decisions they make can affect the life of an animal.
範文二:
My school’s anniversary falls on a Saturday this year, and a charity sale will be scheduled for that day. All the proceeds will be donated to help stray animals, elderly people who live alone, or children who can’t afford to go to school. Personally, I’d like to help old people living alone. The reason is that helping the elderly who live alone will not only give them immediate assistance, but we can also support families that are incapable of taking care of their elders.
Apart from holding the charity sale, the school could recruit some volunteers from the teachers and students. These volunteers could visit old people living alone on a regular basis. Since such lonely people often have age-related diseases, paying them a regular visit will likely make their lives less miserable. Furthermore, doing this could be a rewarding experience for students, too. The knowledge that you are helping others can make you feel good and fulfilled. There is an old saying that it is better to give than to receive. What’s more, helping the less fortunate may set an example for other people who may want to follow suit.
