在 HKDSE English Paper 3 的寫作題型中,Article 一直深受考生重視,亦是大熱出題方向之一。不少同學誤以為 Article 格式自由、容易入手,卻往往因為缺乏結構意識,寫出既無重點、又欠吸引力的文章,白白浪費分數。
其實,要寫好一篇 DSE English Paper 3 Article,關鍵在於掌握「語氣定位、段落佈局、細節運用」三大核心。本文將從 Article 的目的與格式出發,配合 2013 HKDSE 真題範文,逐步拆解一篇高分 Article 的結構與亮點,讓你明白如何在考場上以文章打動考官,穩奪理想成績。
在考試中,article 通常會要求你:
一個標題:要能引起讀者興趣,同時清楚交代主題。
語氣自然:不能太死板像 report,也不能太隨便像 diary,要有一種「寫給雜誌/校刊讀者看」的感覺。
結構清晰:引言(introduction) → 內容(body) → 總結(conclusion)。
有 insight:單純堆砌 facts 不夠,你需要加一點比較、描述或反思,才顯得文章有深度。
簡單來說,article 要 inform(提供資訊),同時也要 engage(吸引讀者)。
在 HKDSE English Paper 3 中,Article 一直是大熱出題方向之一。寫 article 時可以檢查以下 checklist:
標題是否清楚又吸引?
開頭有沒有抓住讀者的眼球?
段落安排是否有邏輯?
文章有沒有細節和例子,而不是空洞大話?
結尾能否為文章作一個有力總結?
以下這篇文章其實就是 2013 HKDSE English Paper 3 Task 8 的真實範文。當時題目要求學生為雜誌撰寫一篇 article,主題是「黃金年代的旅遊」。先讀一遍,然後我們再做分析。
The Golden Age of Travel: A Journey Through Time
In the early 20th century, transport was primarily limited to ships and trains, making international journeys long and demanding. A voyage from London to Hong Kong, for instance, took about six weeks, yet the anticipation of arrival was part of the adventure.
Once in Hong Kong, travelers embraced local customs of movement. Many hired horses and carriages from places such as the Dragon Hotel, which even kept stables for this purpose. Rickshaws were another favorite, consistently popular among visitors and adding a distinctive charm to their exploration of the city.
Travel at that time was largely reserved for the wealthy. It was a glamorous pursuit, with affluent tourists often bringing their personal servants. Hotels like the Dragon Hotel provided additional rooms specifically to accommodate these attendants. Luggage was plentiful, reflecting not only the extended length of travel but also the strong emphasis on style and comfort in that era.
The costs of such luxury were steep. In the 1920s, a night at the Dragon Hotel would have been around $10,300 in today’s money, compared to about $4,200 today—showing just how expensive these elite experiences were.
Evenings were filled with elegance and energy. Guests frequently enjoyed dancing after dinner, while thrill-seekers sought out big-game adventures such as tiger hunting.
This “golden age” of travel was defined by privilege, luxury, and exclusivity. Though it belonged to only a handful of society, its glamour and adventure continue to fascinate us as a unique chapter in travel history.
吸引眼球的標題
The Golden Age of Travel: A Journey Through Time 一看就知道文章要講什麼,但又帶點文學味道,讓人想繼續讀。
有趣的開頭
第一段馬上告訴你:當時從倫敦到香港要六個星期!這種細節不但 informative,也很吸引,因為和現代比起來差異很大。
結構清楚
作者很有條理:先講交通,再講當地出行方式,然後是富人的生活與消費,最後到娛樂和總結。讀起來非常流暢。
細節生動
不是空談,而是有 “$10,300 per night” 的數字,以及 “rickshaws”、“tiger hunting” 這些具體例子。這就是讓文章變得 vivid 的關鍵。
結尾有力
最後一句把整篇文章的主題重新點明(privilege, luxury, exclusivity),同時留下餘韻——這就是 article 理想的收尾。
寫得太像 report:只有 facts,沒有氣氛,也沒有讀者感。
寫得太 casual:像 diary 一樣隨意,語氣太輕浮。
缺少 insight:只描述事件,但沒有反思、比較或總結。
Article 是卷三的熱門題型之一,考官其實很希望看到學生在這個題目中發揮創意。同學要記得:
標題要吸引人,開頭要有趣
結構要清楚,語氣要適中
例子要生動,有少少反思
掌握這些重點,不但能讓你安全得分,還可能讓文章脫穎而出。
