我的祖父是個移民（immigrant），他幾乎身無分文地來到加拿大，在貧困（poverty）中過了好幾年，卻從未忘記挨餓的滋味。他後來靠一間小餐館賺了一大筆財富（fortune），卻從來不像個富有（wealthy）的人。每當有乞丐（beggar）站在他的店門外，他就請那個人進來吃一頓免費的餐點，街上的其他居民（inhabitant）也漸漸開始敬佩他。他認為財富（wealth）背負著對社區的責任，所以每個月都把一部分收入捐給一個幫助弱勢（disadvantaged）兒童的慈善機構。他慷慨的捐助（contribution）支付了學校的午餐費，也說服其他住戶盡自己所能出一份力（contribute）。他過世時，整個社區都來向他道謝，我才明白：一個人的價值不在於擁有什麼，而在於給予什麼。

My grandfather, an immigrant who arrived in Canada with almost nothing, lived in poverty for years, but he never forgot how it felt to be hungry. He later made a fortune from a small restaurant, yet he never acted like a wealthy man. Whenever a beggar stood outside his door, he invited the man in for a free meal, and the other inhabitants of the street came to admire him. He believed that wealth carries a duty to the community, so every month he donated part of his income to a charity that helps disadvantaged children. His generous contributions paid for school lunches and convinced other residents to contribute what they could. When he died, the whole community came to thank him, and I learned that worth is measured not by what we own but by what we give.
我的祖父是個移民（immigrant），他幾乎身無分文地來到加拿大，在貧困（poverty）中過了好幾年，卻從未忘記挨餓的滋味。
My grandfather, an immigrant who arrived in Canada with almost nothing, lived in poverty for years, but he never forgot how it felt to be hungry.
an immigrant 是 my grandfather 的同位語，who arrived… 則是修飾 immigrant 的關係子句。immigrant 指「移入的移民」，移出的人是 emigrant。poverty 是不可數名詞「貧窮」，in poverty 是「處於貧困中」，形容詞是 poor。how it felt to be hungry 是名詞子句，作 forgot 的受詞，用肯定語序，it 是虛主詞，真主詞是 to be hungry。
他後來靠一間小餐館賺了一大筆財富（fortune），卻從來不像個富有（wealthy）的人。
He later made a fortune from a small restaurant, yet he never acted like a wealthy man.
make a fortune 是固定搭配「賺大錢」，fortune 在此指「大筆財產」（也有「運氣」的意思），和 wealth（財富的總稱，不可數）不同。yet 在這裡是連接詞，表示轉折，意思接近 but。wealthy 是形容詞「富有的」，比 rich 稍正式。act like + 名詞 是「表現得像…」。
每當有乞丐（beggar）站在他的店門外，他就請那個人進來吃一頓免費的餐點，街上的其他居民（inhabitant）也漸漸開始敬佩他。
Whenever a beggar stood outside his door, he invited the man in for a free meal, and the other inhabitants of the street came to admire him.
whenever 引導時間副詞子句，意思是「每當」，描述過去的習慣，主要子句也用過去式。invite sb in 是「請某人進來」，for a free meal 表目的。come to + V 表示「逐漸開始…」，如 came to admire him。inhabitant 指某地方的「居民」，常用於城市、國家或地區；resident 則強調居住在某處的住戶。
他認為財富（wealth）背負著對社區的責任，所以每個月都把一部分收入捐給一個幫助弱勢（disadvantaged）兒童的慈善機構。
He believed that wealth carries a duty to the community, so every month he donated part of his income to a charity that helps disadvantaged children.
that 子句作 believed 的受詞；wealth 是不可數名詞，動詞用單數 carries。duty to + 名詞 是「對…的責任」。so 引導結果，前面要加逗號。donate A to B 是「把 A 捐給 B」；part of + 不可數名詞 是「…的一部分」。charity 在這裡指「慈善機構」，也有「慈善行為」的意思。disadvantaged 是形容詞「弱勢的、處境不利的」，可修飾 children，the disadvantaged 則指「弱勢者」。
他慷慨的捐助（contribution）支付了學校的午餐費，也說服其他住戶盡自己所能出一份力（contribute）。
His generous contributions paid for school lunches and convinced other residents to contribute what they could.
contribution 是名詞「捐助、貢獻」，可數；contribute 是動詞，contribute to A 是「對 A 有貢獻」，後面直接接金錢或物品時表示「捐出」。convince + O + to V 是「說服某人做…」。what they could 是名詞子句，作 contribute 的受詞，could 後面省略了 contribute。resident 是「居民、住戶」。
他過世時，整個社區都來向他道謝，我才明白：一個人的價值不在於擁有什麼，而在於給予什麼。
When he died, the whole community came to thank him, and I learned that worth is measured not by what we own but by what we give.
the whole community 是單數，動詞用 came；whole 要放在 the 的後面。learned that… 引導名詞子句，裡面講的是普遍真理，所以用現在式 is measured。not A but B 要連接相同結構：by what we own 與 by what we give 對稱。what we own 是名詞子句，作介系詞 by 的受詞。
Dear Ms. Lin,
I am writing as a representative of Class 3-2 at Hsinchu Junior High School to ask for your company's support in a project that matters greatly to our community. Having seen how many local families struggle through the winter, our class has decided to hold a charity event on the school grounds next month to collect warm clothes and food for disadvantaged families.
What these families need most is warm clothing and food, so we would suggest that your company donate jackets, blankets or canned food. Not only would such a contribution keep a family warm, but it would also show our residents that local businesses are considerate of their neighbors. In return, we would gladly print your company's name on every poster and thank you in front of the whole school at the opening ceremony.
I fully understand that your schedule is busy and that you receive many similar requests. Nevertheless, I hope you will consider ours, since even a small contribution can change a family's winter. Should you be willing to help, I would be happy to visit your office at any time that suits you. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely, Peter Class 3-2, Hsinchu Junior High School
親愛的林女士：
我是新竹國中三年二班的代表，寫信請求貴公司支持一項對我們社區意義重大的計畫。看到有這麼多當地家庭得辛苦撐過冬天，我們班決定下個月在校園裡舉辦一場慈善活動，為弱勢家庭募集保暖衣物與食物。
這些家庭最需要的是保暖衣物和食物，因此我們建議貴公司捐出外套、毯子或罐頭食品。這樣的捐助不僅能讓一個家庭保持溫暖，也能讓我們的居民看見，本地企業是體貼鄰居的。作為回報，我們很樂意把貴公司的名字印在每一張海報上，並在開幕典禮上當著全校師生的面向您致謝。
我完全理解您的行程繁忙，也會收到許多類似的請求。儘管如此，我仍希望您能考慮我們的邀請，因為即使是一點小小的捐助，也能改變一個家庭的冬天。如果您願意幫忙，我很樂意在任何您方便的時間到貴公司拜訪。期待您的回覆。
誠摯地， 彼得 新竹國中三年二班
本題是「正式書信型」，格式與語氣都要到位。格式：Dear Ms. Lin, 開頭、Yours sincerely, 結尾（用 Ms. 加姓時，結尾用 sincerely）和署名。第一段先用 I am writing as a representative of… 表明身分與來意，再用 Having seen… 的分詞構句帶出動機並簡潔說明活動內容。第二段先用 What these families need most is… 點出最迫切的需要，再以 we would suggest that… 提出具體請求，接著說明對方參與的好處（讓居民看見企業體貼鄰里、海報與致詞上的感謝），讓請求更有說服力。第三段先同理對方（I fully understand that…），再用 Nevertheless 轉回請求，最後以 Should you… 提出下一步並禮貌結束。語氣上提出請求時用 would／suggest 等委婉說法，不用 want、need 這類直接的字（need 只用來描述受助家庭的需要），不用縮寫（I'm、don't）。
My grandfather, an immigrant who arrived in Canada with almost nothing
an immigrant 緊接在 My grandfather 之後，兩邊用逗號隔開，對祖父的身分作補充說明，這就是同位語。後面還能再接 who 子句，讓一句話裝進更多資訊。
Mr. Lee, our new teacher, comes from Tainan.
我們的新老師李老師來自台南。
worth is measured not by what we own but by what we give
not by A but by B：兩個 by 後面都接 what 引導的名詞子句，結構平行。把價值從「擁有」轉向「給予」，讓結尾的觀點更有力。
Success is measured not by how much you earn but by how much you help.
成功不是看你賺多少，而是看你幫助了多少。
a project that matters greatly to our community
that 引導限定關係子句，說明是哪一種計畫。matter 作動詞是「重要」，greatly 加強語氣；這個說法比 important 更自然、更有分量。
She joined a club that helps new students.
她加入了一個幫助新生的社團。
Having seen how many local families struggle through the winter, our class has decided to hold a charity event
Having seen… 是完成式分詞構句，省略了 Because we have seen…；「看到」發生在「決定」之前，所以用 Having + p.p.。分詞的意義主詞必須和主要子句主詞一致，這裡都是 our class（we）。how many families… struggle 是名詞子句，作 seen 的受詞，用肯定語序。
Having finished the survey, we sent the results to the mayor.
完成問卷調查後，我們把結果寄給了市長。
to collect warm clothes and food for disadvantaged families
to collect… 是目的不定詞，說明為什麼舉辦這場活動。for disadvantaged families 說明物資是為誰募集；collect 在這裡是「募集、收集」。
We held a food drive to collect canned goods for the shelter.
我們舉辦了食物募集活動，為收容所蒐集罐頭。
What these families need most is warm clothing and food
What… is… 是擬分裂句，把想強調的重點（warm clothing and food）放在 is 之後，先用 What 子句鋪陳。What 子句視為單數主詞，所以用 is。這樣先點出對方最容易認同的事實，再提出請求。
What students need most is a quiet place to study.
學生最需要的是一個安靜的讀書空間。
we would suggest that your company donate jackets, blankets or canned food
suggest that + 主詞 + (should) + 原形動詞，that 子句的動詞用原形，所以是 your company donate，而不是 donates。此句型常見於 suggest、recommend、insist、demand 等字後，語氣比 Please donate… 更委婉正式。
We suggest that the school open the library on weekends.
我們建議學校週末開放圖書館。
Not only would such a contribution keep a family warm, but it would also show our residents that local businesses are considerate of their neighbors
Not only 放在句首，後面的助動詞要提前：Not only would such a contribution…；but also 後面的子句則維持正常語序。keep + O + 形容詞 是「使…保持某種狀態」。
Not only did she win, but she also broke the record.
她不僅獲勝，還打破了紀錄。
I fully understand that your schedule is busy and that you receive many similar requests
兩個 that 子句並列，都是 understand 的受詞。第二個 that 不能省略，因為前面有 and 連接；這樣先同理對方，可讓後面的請求顯得有禮貌。
I know that you are busy and that you have other plans.
我知道你很忙，也有別的安排。
Nevertheless, I hope you will consider ours, since even a small contribution can change a family's winter
Nevertheless 是正式的轉折副詞，意思是「儘管如此」，用於承認對方的難處之後，再回到自己的請求。ours 代替 our request，避免重複；since 引導理由。
The task is hard. Nevertheless, we should try.
這項任務很難，但我們還是應該試試。
Should you be willing to help, I would be happy to visit your office at any time that suits you
Should + 主詞 + 原形動詞，是 If you should… 省略 if 後的倒裝，表示「萬一、如果」，語氣正式有禮，常見於書信結尾。at any time that suits you 是限定關係子句，意思是「在任何您方便的時間」。
Should you need any help, please call me.
如果您需要任何協助，請打電話給我。
