上週末，我們的生物老師帶全班到屏東的一座農場，導覽員在那裡向我們說明動植物是如何彼此依存的。走過一片開滿花朵的草地（meadow）時，我們看到蜜蜂在蜂巢進進出出，兩根莖（stem）之間還拉著一張蜘蛛網。導覽員說，如果蜜蜂消失，許多植物就無法結果，這最終會影響到我們餐桌上的食物。接著我們經過一大片甘蔗田，看見一頭公牛靜靜地站在樹下，腳邊還掉了一根羽毛。傍晚，農場主人招待我們吃龍蝦，還提醒我們：越了解食物的來源，就越應該謹慎地選擇。

Last weekend, our biology teacher took the class to a farm in Pingtung, where a guide showed us how plants and animals depend on one another. Walking across a meadow covered with blossoms, we saw bees flying in and out of a hive and a spider web stretched between two stems. The guide said that if the bees were to disappear, many plants would be unable to produce fruit, which would eventually affect the food on our tables. We then passed a huge field of sugar cane, where a bull stood quietly under a tree with a feather lying near its feet. In the evening, the farm owner treated us to lobster and reminded us that the more we know about where our food comes from, the more carefully we should choose it.
上週末，我們的生物老師帶全班到屏東的一座農場，導覽員在那裡向我們說明動植物是如何彼此依存的。
Last weekend, our biology teacher took the class to a farm in Pingtung, where a guide showed us how plants and animals depend on one another.
where 引導非限定關係子句，補充說明地點（農場），前面要加逗號。how 引導名詞子句，作 showed 的直接受詞，子句內用肯定語序（plants and animals depend…）。depend on one another 是「彼此依靠」。
走過一片開滿花朵的草地（meadow）時，我們看到蜜蜂在蜂巢進進出出，兩根莖（stem）之間還拉著一張蜘蛛網。
Walking across a meadow covered with blossoms, we saw bees flying in and out of a hive and a spider web stretched between two stems.
Walking across… 是分詞構句，由 While we were walking across… 簡化而來，主詞都是 we 才能省略。be covered with 是「被…覆蓋」。「蜂巢」hive、「蜘蛛網」spider web、「草地」meadow、「莖」stem。stretched 是過去分詞，修飾 web，表被動「被拉開的」。
導覽員說，如果蜜蜂消失，許多植物就無法結果，這最終會影響到我們餐桌上的食物。
The guide said that if the bees were to disappear, many plants would be unable to produce fruit, which would eventually affect the food on our tables.
if + S + were to + V 是語氣更強烈的假設（「萬一…的話」），主要子句用 would。which 指前面整個情況，要加逗號。be unable to + V「無法…」比 can't 正式，書面更常用。
接著我們經過一大片甘蔗田，看見一頭公牛靜靜地站在樹下，腳邊還掉了一根羽毛。
We then passed a huge field of sugar cane, where a bull stood quietly under a tree with a feather lying near its feet.
with + O + V-ing 表示「附帶狀況」（一根羽毛躺在牠腳邊）。cane 單獨使用是「拐杖、藤條」，「甘蔗」要說 sugar cane。bull 是公牛，母牛是 cow。
傍晚，農場主人招待我們吃龍蝦，還提醒我們：越了解食物的來源，就越應該謹慎地選擇。
In the evening, the farm owner treated us to lobster and reminded us that the more we know about where our food comes from, the more carefully we should choose it.
treat sb to sth 是「請某人享用某物」。the more…, the more… 表示「越…，就越…」，兩個子句都把比較級放在句首。where our food comes from 是名詞子句，作介系詞 about 的受詞，注意 from 要留在最後。
Although zoos are often criticized for keeping wild animals in cages, I believe they still play an important role in protecting nature. First of all, many species would disappear if nobody stepped in. Zoos hatch the eggs of rare birds and look after cubs that have lost their mothers, and some of these animals are later returned to the wild. This work is urgent, because hunters kill animals for their horns, and cutting down forests for timber leaves many animals with nowhere to live. Not only do zoos save lives, but they also raise money for the prevention of such harm. Second, zoos teach people to cherish nature. It is only when children see a giraffe up close that they truly understand what we could lose.
Opponents argue that it is morally wrong for any beast to spend its life behind bars, and I agree that a lion pacing on hard concrete, unable to use its claws and paws as nature intended, is a sad sight. However, the answer is not to close zoos but to improve them. The better the living conditions become, the more both animals and visitors will benefit.
雖然動物園常因把野生動物關在籠子裡而受到批評，我仍相信它們在保護自然上扮演著重要的角色。首先，如果沒有人出手相助，許多物種將會消失。動物園孵化稀有鳥類的蛋，照顧失去母親的幼獸，其中有些動物後來被放回野外。這項工作刻不容緩，因為獵人為了獸角而殺害動物，而為了木材砍伐森林，更讓許多動物無處可住。動物園不僅拯救生命，還籌措經費來防止這類傷害。其次，動物園教人們珍惜自然。唯有當孩子近距離看到長頸鹿時，他們才真正明白我們可能失去什麼。
反對者主張，任何野獸一輩子被關在鐵欄後面都是道德上的錯誤；我也同意，一頭在堅硬水泥地上來回踱步、無法如自然所安排般運用爪子的獅子，是令人難過的景象。然而，答案不是關閉動物園，而是改善它們。生活條件越好，動物和遊客就都越受益。
本題屬於「議論文」，且要求同時處理對立看法，這正是 B2 與一般中級作文最大的差別。第一段：先用讓步句（Although…）承認動物園被批評，隨即亮出立場；理由一（保育物種）用 First of all 帶出，再用孵蛋、養幼獸、籌款防止獵殺與砍伐森林的傷害等具體例子支持；理由二（教育）用 Second 帶出，並用一句強調句收尾。第二段：先引述對立方的說法並承認其中的道理（I agree that…），再用 However 轉折，提出「改善而非關閉」的折衷方案，最後以比較級對應句總結。注意段落之間沒有重複同一個連接詞，立場在首尾呼應。
Although zoos are often criticized for keeping wild animals in cages
Although 引導的讓步子句放在句首，先承認對方的論點，再於主要子句亮出自己的立場。這是議論文開頭最穩當的寫法。
Although the exam was difficult, most students passed it.
雖然考試很難，大部分學生還是通過了。
are often criticized for keeping wild animals in cages
be criticized for + V-ing 是被動語態加介系詞：「因…而被批評」。議論文常用被動語態讓文句較客觀，也避免寫出主詞 people。
The mayor was criticized for ignoring the problem.
市長因為忽視這個問題而受到批評。
many species would disappear if nobody stepped in
與現在或未來事實相反的假設：S + would + 原形 + if + S + 過去式。把結果放在前面、if 子句放在後面，語氣比較自然。step in 是「介入、出手相助」。
Many people would lose their jobs if the factory closed.
如果工廠關閉，許多人會失業。
Not only do zoos save lives, but they also raise money for the prevention of such harm
Not only 放在句首時，後面的子句要倒裝（助動詞 do 提到主詞前），後半句再用 but also 接續。這是寫作中很能展現文法的句型。
Not only does she sing well, but she also dances beautifully.
她不僅歌唱得好，舞也跳得很美。
It is only when children see a giraffe up close that they truly understand what we could lose
強調句型 It is + 被強調的部分 + that…。此句強調時間（只有在近距離看到長頸鹿時），加上 only 語氣更強。what we could lose 是名詞子句，作 understand 的受詞。
It was in 2020 that the school opened.
是在 2020 年學校才開幕的。
a lion pacing on hard concrete, unable to use its claws and paws as nature intended
pacing 是現在分詞，作形容詞修飾 lion，等於 a lion that paces…；unable to… 是形容詞片語，補充說明獅子的狀態。用分詞和形容詞片語可以讓一句話裝進更多資訊，不必拆成幾個短句。
I saw a man running along the beach, followed by his dog.
我看到一個男人沿著海灘跑步，後面跟著他的狗。
The better the living conditions become, the more both animals and visitors will benefit
The + 比較級 + S + V, the + 比較級 + S + V，表示「越…，就越…」；兩個子句的比較級都要放在句首。用在結尾能把觀點收束得很漂亮。
The more you practice, the better you will be.
你越練習，就會越進步。
cubs that have lost their mothers
that 引導限定關係子句，說明是哪一種幼獸（失去母親的），沒有逗號。主詞是 cubs（複數），所以用 have lost 現在完成式表示「已經失去、現在仍如此」。
The boy who broke the window said sorry.
打破窗戶的那個男孩道歉了。
