學測、指考英文作文評分標準大公開

【調查採訪/Charlene Chu】

「如果你可以不用擔心預算，隨心所欲的度過一天，你會怎麼過？」這是98年度大學指考的英文作文題目，看似簡單的題目，全台灣卻無人滿分，甚至有多達6,168名考生抱鴨蛋。而今年的學測英文作文以連環圖畫方式，在第四格留白讓考生自由發揮，全國有2名考生得到滿分20分，但零分的考生也不少，共有15,523人。

其實，想在學測及指考的英文作文上拿高分，並沒有那麼困難。本刊特別為讀者整理「學測與指考英文作文評分」標準，告訴各位如何從閱卷委員手中拿下高分。

▍內容引人入勝重於完美文法

以學測英文作文來看，每年得到8、9分的考生居多。由於現在學生的生活背景及接收的資訊差不多，因此看到題目時的反應也大同小異，少有較為創新的想像。沒有吸引人的內容，寫出來的作品都一樣，平穩但缺乏起伏。閱卷委員分數給不上去，所以大多在8到10分之間。

「英文作文分項式評分指標」分別為內容、組織、文法句構、字彙拼字及體例等五大項。作文總分為20分，其中內容、組織各佔5分，文法句構、字彙拼字各4，體例佔2分。從這邊可以看出，一篇作文最重要的就是「內容」，如果一篇作文能讓閱卷委員看完後內心感動，不論文章是從哪種角度切入，內容都會給5分。

內容給完分之後，閱卷委員才會考慮它的組織、結構，通常這兩個都是密不可分。

如果文章的組織不好，連貫性和主旨不夠明確，就看不懂作文的內容；但如果讓閱卷委員看了覺得非常的順暢，就表示你的邏輯思維一定已經夠清楚。

從這幾個角度來看，目前作文教學的趨勢，已經不再是強調文法一定要寫得完全正確；更重要的是：Can you tell a good story? 你能不能講一個動聽的事，不一定是故事，也許是真實的事。重點是，你的文章能不能感動人？

▍句型多變化　小錯誤無傷大雅

至於文法句構怎麼評量呢？首先是句型變化的多寡。如果只有主詞＋動詞＋受詞這樣簡單的句型從頭用到尾，可見文法運作能力稍微差一點，那分數就不會太高，也許給個2.5、3分；但文章中如果能在文法上使用一些分詞構句以及從屬子句，讓句子看起來更賞心悅目，閱卷委員亦會毫不吝嗇地給予4分。

那萬一不小心看到一兩個錯誤呢？仔細看看「英文作文分項式評分指標」的表格，我們可以發現，在「文法、句構」部分，寫著「幾無文法錯誤」。的確，連英語母語人士都會犯錯，更何況是非英語母語人士呢？如果要求「沒有任何錯誤」也太過嚴苛。

一個人文章寫得非常好，只是不小心第三人稱忘了加s，或者是過去式ed忘了加……等，就這樣被扣分，未免太過嚴苛。其實得滿分的作文不代表就是完美無瑕，仔細看還是會有些小錯誤，但無傷大雅；字彙、拼字亦是同樣的道理。

▍Practice makes perfect

這樣看來，如果平常就能夠多加練習「用手講故事」，並且依照「英文作文分項式評分指標」的標準，不要盲目地發展一些其實比重不高的東西，想在學測及指考的英文作文上拿高分，並非一件難以達成之事。

最重要的，是文章的本質。能夠成功圓滿地講一個故事，有頭有尾，讓閱卷委員看完之後不加思索給高分，就是一篇好作文；反之只要內容不精采，分數就不會太高。因此，英文作文要主題明確、組織清楚，最忌諱亂背亂抄。內容離題了，甚至文不對題，結構、文法……寫得再好也沒用，閱卷委員不會給予同情分，鐵定拿零分。

Travel Is The Best Teacher

I´ve been to many countries before, and I enjoy my trip very much every time. To me, travel is the best teacher. By traveling, I can always broaden my mind and open my eyes to the things about which I had no idea before; I could also see the things which appeared only in the textbook before and that´s no doubt a wonderful experience.

Last summer, I went to Malaysia with a foundation, I used to consider it to be a poor country, but I was totally shocked at how prosperous it is! So many tall buildings and well-organized communities were right before my eyes! We also had some interaction with the local students. I found their learning attitude very active, which was very different from that of the Taiwanese students.

After my trip to Malaysia, I realized that many countries in Asia are prospering, while Taiwan seems to be going backward. I also remind myself that we should never look down on others, and we should equip ourselves with knowledge and unique perspectives, so that we may be able to be outstanding rather than being overwhelmed by the others. We should be more active in our learning and try to set up our goals.

If I hadn´t been to Malaysia, I wouldn´t have gained so many insights in these things. To me, travel is truly the best teacher.

說明：主題清楚、具體，內容豐富；重點分明、組織完整且連貫。文句結構變化豐富，幾無文法錯誤（稍有時態不一致的錯誤，例第二對的第一句Last summer…foundation後的逗號應為句號。）；用字得宜（但第一段第三句中的broaden my mind應為broaden my horizons）。

In those four days, I learned a lot about this lively country, including saw the famous Merlion, visited the Indian temple … etc. When the guide gave some informations for us at some spots, I could merge them in to the geography class easily, even could answer the questions from the guide. I was proud of that I could use the knowledge in books to the real life!

However, there is a great deal of advantages about traveling, so I sincerely recommend that you should take a travel someday!
