Integrated writing 要拿滿分的重要關鍵 (而非尷尬的中上分)
就是在論點聽到的前提下

(1)第一段要很簡短地提出summary (i.e. 在那三個方面閱讀和寫作不同)

(2) 在簡單複述閱讀的論點時 要paraphrase 用自己的話說 "不要照抄"

例 : In refuting the ideas presented in the reading passage,
the professor's (speaker's) arguments can be broadly
categorized / classified into three strands, [including A, B, and C.]


(3) 妥善運用用凸顯對比的structures來寫了

Standing in stark contrast (to A) is…
On the other hand,
By contrast, … On the contrary,…
Conversely,
N. be in stark contrast to…
There is a distinct contrast between A and B. Specifically,…
There exists a marked contrast between A and B.
Quite differently,
In comparison with A, B…
In opposition to…
Opposite / Contrary to ~ is…
S1+V1 whereas S2+V2
While A indicates that..., B argues...


例: In stark contrast to what was delineated in the reading passage,
the professor challenged (the validity of) the statement that....
Conversely, s/he contended that...

★★ 在Reported speech裡可用的動詞有那些?

(詞彙的多樣性很重要 因為作文的批改是由兩個human raters跟一個
computer rater所共完成的 後者看的是 句法單字的多樣性, 第三人稱s,
時態一致性等細節)


強度低: state, remark (口說), decribe/delineate, explain/account for (解釋)
demonstrate/show/disclose/reveal/uncover (顯示; 揭露)

強度中: hold/maintain (持有某種見解), note (提到指出),
indicate/suggest/point out (指出)

強度高: argue/contend, assert, claim, postulate/posit (斷定),
speculate/hypothesize (都是假說 但是後者比前者更有證據)
