這是一道英文寫作題，要求考生選擇一個主題，並以 250-300 字的篇幅寫一篇論說文。考生必須明確表達自己的立場，並在整篇文章中維持一致的論點，同時提供合理的論證和例子來支持。評分標準涵蓋論點的清晰度、組織結構、英文的有效性和慣用性、文法準確性、詞彙控制以及例子的相關性與恰當性。
以下為各題的寫作方向建議：
Topic 1: Is being well-informed today more about choosing information carefully, or about consuming a large amount of information?
這個題目探討在資訊爆炸的時代，如何才能真正「知情」。考生可以選擇強調「仔細篩選」的重要性，例如辨別資訊來源的可靠性、避免假新聞和偏見，或是強調「大量閱讀」的必要性，例如廣泛接觸不同觀點，以形成更全面的理解。論證時可舉例說明過度依賴單一來源或資訊過載可能帶來的問題。
Topic 2: Is knowing one's strengths more important than correcting one's weaknesses?
此題聚焦於個人成長與自我認知。考生可以論述專注於發揮自身優勢，能帶來更大的成就感和影響力，甚至能間接彌補弱點；或者，強調改進缺點是持續進步的關鍵，能避免潛在的失敗，使個人更為完整。論證時可引用個人經驗、歷史人物或職場情境作為例證。
Topic 3: Do social media platforms today function more as spaces for democratic participation, or as tools for manipulation?
這是一個關於社群媒體影響力的題目。考生可以論證社群媒體如何促進公民參與，例如提供發聲平台、連結社會運動、擴散資訊；抑或指出社群媒體如何被用來操縱民意，例如透過演算法推送特定內容、散布假訊息、製造社會對立、進行政治宣傳。在論述時，可舉例說明具體的社群媒體現象。
寫作策略建議：
- 明確立場 (Clear Stance): 在文章開頭（導論）即明確表達你選擇的論點，並在後續段落中圍繞此論點展開。
- 邏輯架構 (Logical Structure): 採用標準的論說文結構：導論 (Introduction)、本文 (Body Paragraphs)（通常 2-3 段，每段一個分論點）、結論 (Conclusion)。
- 論證與例證 (Reasoning and Examples): 每個分論點都應有充分的理由支持，並輔以具體、相關的例子（個人經驗、時事、歷史事件等）。
- 詞彙與文法 (Vocabulary and Grammar): 使用準確、豐富的詞彙，並注意文法、拼寫和標點的正確性。
