When my uncle was young, he worked at a fish market, used coarse language, and had no patience with customers. One day, an old man told him that a person's attitude decides his future and that only a coward keeps blaming others. He decided to treat every customer with courtesy and to make up for his mistakes with diligence. A few years later, his business was doing well, and he often gave the fish he could not sell to the neighbors for free, so everyone was touched by his generosity. He often tells me that a truly reliable person does not need to boast, because others will see his effort. After hearing his story, I decided to change my bad habits from now on.
我舅舅年輕時在魚市場工作，說話粗俗（coarse），對客人一點耐心也沒有。
When my uncle was young, he worked at a fish market, used coarse language, and had no patience with customers.
worked、used、had 三個過去式動詞並列，時態一致。coarse language 指「粗俗的言語」，coarse 另有「粗糙的」意思（coarse cloth 粗布），本句靠括號提示判斷。have no patience with sb 是「對某人沒有耐心」，patience 是不可數名詞，前面不加 a。
有一天，一位老先生告訴他，一個人的態度決定他的未來，而且只有膽小鬼才會一直責怪別人。
One day, an old man told him that a person's attitude decides his future and that only a coward keeps blaming others.
told him that… 後面接兩個 that 子句，用 and 連接，第二個 that 建議保留（省略也可以），這樣比較看得出兩個子句是並列的。attitude 是「態度」，coward 是「膽小鬼」，only a coward 整個是主詞（only 修飾 a coward），動詞 keeps 跟著單數主詞，語序不倒裝。keep + V-ing 表示「一直做…」。
他決定以禮相待每一位客人，並且用勤勉（diligence）來彌補過去的錯誤。
He decided to treat every customer with courtesy and to make up for his mistakes with diligence.
treat sb with courtesy 是「以禮相待」，courtesy 是「禮貌、客氣」的名詞，不加 a。make up for 是「彌補」，後面接名詞（mistakes）。兩個不定詞 to treat … and to make up … 並列；diligence 是 diligent（勤勉的）的名詞。every 後面接單數名詞，所以是 every customer。
幾年後，他的生意很順利，他還常把賣剩的魚免費送給鄰居，大家都被他的慷慨感動。
A few years later, his business was doing well, and he often gave the fish he could not sell to the neighbors for free, so everyone was touched by his generosity.
be doing well 是「（生意）順利」。give A to B 與 for free（免費）都是常用搭配。be touched by 是「被…感動」，by 後面接感動的原因，這裡是名詞 generosity（慷慨）。so 引導結果，前面加逗號；the fish he could not sell 是省略關係代名詞的子句（fish (that) he could not sell），修飾 fish，表示「賣不掉的魚」。
他常對我說，真正可靠的人不需要自誇，因為別人自然看得到他的付出。
He often tells me that a truly reliable person does not need to boast, because others will see his effort.
tell sb that + 子句 是「告訴某人…」，因為說的是現在的習慣，用現在式 tells。reliable 是「可靠的」，副詞 truly 放在它前面修飾。does not need to + 原形動詞 是「不需要…」，此處 need 當一般動詞，所以否定要借助 does not。because 子句放在後半，前面加逗號。
聽了他的故事，我決定從現在起改掉壞習慣。
After hearing his story, I decided to change my bad habits from now on.
After 後面接 V-ing（hearing），整個片語放在句首用逗號隔開。decide to + V 是「決定做…」。from now on 是「從現在起」，通常放在句尾。
Some people think that only bold students can succeed, but I believe modesty is worth more than loud confidence. First, a modest person keeps learning. Mr. Lin, our band teacher, plays three instruments, yet he is never ashamed to ask students for advice. He is even gracious when someone corrects him, so we respect him. Second, modesty makes people easier to trust. When someone is full of pride and talks about himself all day, I start to doubt him. A quiet worker's effort may not be visible at first, but it earns trust in the end.
Of course, being modest does not mean being silent. Discipline matters too, and a student with goodness in his heart should speak up when something is unfair. Still, I would rather be a quiet person who works hard than a loud person who has nothing to show.
有些人認為只有大膽的學生才能成功，但我相信謙虛比張揚的自信更有價值。首先，謙虛的人會不斷學習。我們的樂隊老師林老師會演奏三種樂器，卻從不羞於向學生請教。就連有人糾正他時，他也很親切有禮，所以我們都很尊敬他。其次，謙虛讓人更容易被信任。當一個人充滿驕傲、整天談論自己時，我就開始懷疑他。默默做事的人，付出一開始也許看不見，但最後會贏得信任。
當然，謙虛不代表沉默。自律也同樣重要，心地善良的學生看到不公平的事，就應該站出來說話。不過，我寧願當一個努力工作的安靜的人，也不願當一個什麼成果都拿不出來的吵鬧的人。
本題屬於「二選一表態」的議論短文，立場放在第一句：先承認一種流行看法（大膽才會成功），再用 but 轉出自己的主張（謙虛更有價值）。第一段用 First / Second 列出兩個理由：謙虛的人持續學習（樂隊老師的例子）、謙虛使人容易被信任（對比自誇的人）；每個理由後面都跟著具體說明。第二段用 Of course 退一步，承認「謙虛不等於沉默」，再用 Still 收回自己的選擇，結尾用一個比較句留下清楚的印象。全文約 140 字，兩段即可，重點是立場明確、理由有例子、轉折自然。
Some people think that only bold students can succeed, but I believe modesty is worth more than loud confidence
先寫別人的看法（Some people think…），再用 but 轉出自己的主張，是表態型作文最穩的開頭。兩個子句各有主詞與動詞，but 前面加逗號。
Some people like cats, but I prefer dogs.
有些人喜歡貓，但我比較喜歡狗。
Mr. Lin, our band teacher, plays three instruments
our band teacher 是同位語，放在 Mr. Lin 後面，前後各加逗號，用來補充說明這個人是誰。寫文章介紹人物時，這樣寫比另開一句更簡潔。
Ms. Lin, my English teacher, loves hiking.
我的英文老師林老師很愛健行。
being modest does not mean being silent
動名詞 being modest 當主詞，being silent 當 mean 的受詞；mean + V-ing 表示「意味著…」。兩個動名詞對稱，句子看起來整齊。
Being kind does not mean being weak.
善良不代表軟弱。
Of course, being modest does not mean being silent.
Of course 先退一步，承認對方有道理；下一句或後面再用 Still 轉回自己的立場。這種「退一步、再前進」的寫法，讓議論文更有說服力。
Of course, money is important. Still, it is not everything.
當然，錢很重要，不過它不是一切。
I would rather be a quiet person who works hard than a loud person who has nothing to show
would rather + 原形動詞 + than + 原形動詞，表示「寧願…也不願…」；than 前後的詞性要對等（都是 be a… person）。who 引導關係子句，修飾前面的 person。
I would rather stay home than go to a crowded place.
我寧可待在家，也不想去擁擠的地方。
everyone was touched by his generosity
be touched by 是被動語態，表示「被…感動」，by 後面接讓人感動的事物。如果改成主動：His generosity touched everyone.
We were moved by her kind words.
我們被她親切的話語感動了。
