On moving day, Dad was busy assembling a bookcase with a drill while I sorted the screws in the tool kit. When the movers carried the fridge upstairs, one of them tripped over the extension cord and nearly shut down my computer. Fortunately, I had saved my files on a disk in advance; otherwise, I would have had to rewrite my whole report. Cleaning the bathroom, Dad found that the electric shaver my brother had given him was still in its box, since he preferred his old razor. He also could not bear to throw away Grandpa's rusty ax, insisting that some things are worth keeping. That evening, I used scissors to cut the string tied in knots around the last box, and Mom whipped up a simple dinner from the food we had left.
搬家那天，爸爸忙著用電鑽（drill）組裝書架，我則負責把工具組（kit）裡的螺絲分類。
On moving day, Dad was busy assembling a bookcase with a drill while I sorted the screws in the tool kit.
be busy + V-ing 是「忙著做…」。with a drill 是「用電鑽」，with 表示使用的工具。while 連接兩個同時進行的動作，後面的 I sorted… 是完整子句。kit 是「成套的工具（用具）」，tool kit 為工具組，first-aid kit 為急救包。
搬家工人把冰箱（fridge）抬上樓時，其中一人絆到延長線（cord），差點讓我的電腦關機。
When the movers carried the fridge upstairs, one of them tripped over the extension cord and nearly shut down my computer.
trip over 是「被…絆倒」。extension cord 是「延長線」，cord 指粗線、電線、繩索；nearly 放在動詞前面，修飾 shut down。fridge 是 refrigerator 的口語縮寫，日常寫作很常用。
幸好我事先把檔案存在一片磁碟（disk）裡，否則整份報告都得重寫。
Fortunately, I had saved my files on a disk in advance; otherwise, I would have had to rewrite my whole report.
in advance 是「事先」；存檔發生在搬家當天（過去的時間點）之前，所以用過去完成式 had saved。otherwise 表示「否則」，隱含「如果我沒有事先存檔」的過去假設，所以主要子句用 would have had to + 原形。disk 指圓盤形的儲存裝置；美式拼法 disk，英式也寫 disc。
打掃浴室時，爸爸發現哥哥送他的電動刮鬍刀（shaver）還在盒子裡，因為他比較喜歡用自己的舊刮鬍刀（razor）。
Cleaning the bathroom, Dad found that the electric shaver my brother had given him was still in its box, since he preferred his old razor.
Cleaning the bathroom 是分詞構句，等於 While he was cleaning…，主詞與主要子句的主詞都是 Dad。found that… 是名詞子句，作 found 的受詞。my brother had given him 省略了關係代名詞 that，修飾 shaver。shaver 是電動刮鬍刀，razor 是手動的刮鬍刀片。
他還捨不得丟掉爺爺留下的那把生鏽的斧頭（ax），堅持有些東西值得留下來。
He also could not bear to throw away Grandpa's rusty ax, insisting that some things are worth keeping.
can't bear to + V 是「捨不得、無法忍受去做…」。insisting that… 是現在分詞片語，補充說明前面主詞的堅持；insist that 後面接直述的事實時，不需要用假設語氣。worth + V-ing 是「值得…」，worth 後面要接動名詞，不可接不定詞。ax 也可拼成 axe。
傍晚，我用剪刀（scissors）剪斷綁著最後一個箱子、打了許多死結（knot）的細繩，媽媽則用剩下的食材快速做了一頓簡單的晚餐（whip）。
That evening, I used scissors to cut the string tied in knots around the last box, and Mom whipped up a simple dinner from the food we had left.
scissors 永遠用複數形，要數的時候說 a pair of scissors。tied in knots 是過去分詞片語，修飾 string，表被動「被打了結的」。string 是「細繩」，比 rope 細。whip up 是「很快弄出（一餐）」，口語，主要動詞是 whipped；whip 單獨使用還有「鞭子」和「打發（奶油）」的意思。
Every afternoon, my classmates complain, pick up their brooms, and clean our classroom, yet I think they should keep doing it. First, nothing teaches respect for other people's work faster than a chore that no one notices when it is done well. A student who has carried a sack of trash down three flights of stairs will think twice before dropping a tissue on the floor. Second, cleaning together gives a class a shared goal. When twenty students shake out the rug, wipe the knob of every door, and tidy the lockers, they begin to feel that the room belongs to them. People rarely damage what they have worked for.
Some parents criticize the practice because daily sweeping steals time from study, and I admit that this is a fair point when exams are near. Even so, the answer is a shorter cleaning time, not specialized cleaners. Had my school done that, nobody would have taught me to wipe my tray after lunch, fold the tablecloth, or throw away an empty packet. I would still be leaving my mug for someone else to wash. In the end, it is not the smooth floor that matters but the habit of caring that students take home.
每天下午，同學們一邊抱怨一邊拿起掃把打掃教室，但我認為他們應該繼續這麼做。首先，沒有什麼比一件做得好時沒人會注意到的雜事，更能讓人快速學會尊重別人的工作。一個曾把一大袋垃圾搬下三層樓的學生，在把衛生紙丟到地上之前會再三考慮。其次，一起打掃讓全班有一個共同的目標。當二十個學生一起拍打地毯上的灰塵、擦拭每一扇門的門把、整理置物櫃時，他們開始覺得這間教室是屬於自己的。人們很少破壞自己努力過的東西。
有些家長批評這種做法，因為每天掃地偷走了讀書的時間，我也承認，在考試將近時這是合理的看法。即便如此，答案應該是縮短打掃時間，而不是請專業的清潔人員。假如我的學校當初這麼做，就沒有人會教我午餐後把餐盤擦乾淨、摺好桌巾、或把空的小包裝袋丟掉。我還會繼續把自己的馬克杯留著，讓別人去洗。說到底，重要的不是光亮的地板，而是學生帶回家的那份關懷的習慣。
本題屬於「議論型」，須表態、提出兩個理由、並回應對立看法。開頭不用「我贊成…」的套話，而是用每天下午全班打掃的畫面帶出立場（I think they should keep doing it）。第一段：理由一（學會尊重別人的工作）用 First 帶出，以「搬垃圾袋下樓的學生」這個具體例子支持；理由二（共同目標與歸屬感）用 Second 帶出，並列出拍地毯、擦門把、整理置物櫃等動作。第二段：先轉述批評者的說法並承認有道理（I admit that…），再用 Even so 回應，提出「縮短打掃時間，而非請專人」的折衷；接著用假設句說明如果沒有打掃，自己會是什麼樣子；最後用強調句收尾，把重點拉回「習慣」。注意第二段同時完成「讓步」與「回應」，結尾也沒有重複開頭的句型。
nothing teaches respect for other people's work faster than a chore that no one notices when it is done well
否定主詞 nothing + 比較級 + than，用來表達最高級的意思：沒有任何事物比…更能…。比用 the best way 更生動、更有說服力。than 後面的 a chore 同時帶出一個關係子句 that no one notices。
Nothing is more important than your health.
沒有什麼比你的健康更重要。
A student who has carried a sack of trash down three flights of stairs will think twice before dropping a tissue on the floor
who has carried… 是限定關係子句，說明是哪一種學生，沒有逗號。主詞是 A student，所以動詞是 has carried；主要動詞 will think twice 是「三思」。before 後面接 V-ing，因為主詞相同，可以省略主詞。
A person who has never failed will find it hard to understand others.
從未失敗過的人很難理解別人。
they begin to feel that the room belongs to them
that the room belongs to them 是名詞子句，作 feel 的受詞，that 可以省略。belong to 是「屬於」，不用進行式，也沒有被動語態。
We all feel that something is wrong.
我們都覺得有哪裡不對勁。
I admit that this is a fair point when exams are near
I admit that… 是承認對方有道理的典型說法，寫在回應之前，可以讓文章顯得公平、有說服力；之後再用 Even so 轉回自己的立場。
I admit that the plan has a few problems.
我承認這個計畫有一些問題。
Had my school done that, nobody would have taught me to wipe my tray after lunch, fold the tablecloth, or throw away an empty packet
省略 if 的倒裝假設句：If my school had done that 可改寫為 Had my school done that。結果子句用 would have + p.p. 表示「與過去事實相反」的結果。wipe、fold、throw away 三個動詞原形並列，詞性一致。
Had I known the truth, I would have told you.
如果我早知道真相，我就會告訴你了。
it is not the smooth floor that matters but the habit of caring that students take home
強調句型 It is… that…，並用 not A but B 對比：真正重要的不是 A，而是 B。第二個 that 是關係代名詞，引導 students take home 修飾 habit。用在結尾能讓重點更突出。
It is not the money but the time that I need.
我需要的不是錢，而是時間。
Cleaning the bathroom, Dad found that the electric shaver my brother had given him was still in its box
Cleaning the bathroom 是現在分詞構句，等於 While he was cleaning the bathroom；主詞必須與主要子句的主詞相同（Dad），否則會變成錯誤的懸垂分詞。
Walking home, she met an old friend.
走路回家的時候，她遇到一位老朋友。
otherwise, I would have had to rewrite my whole report
otherwise 表示「如果不是這樣的話」，等於一個過去假設子句（if I hadn't saved my files），所以主要子句用 would have + p.p.。have to 變成 would have had to，是常見的寫法。
I took a taxi; otherwise, I would have missed the train.
我搭了計程車；否則我就趕不上火車了。
