A: What kind of house or flat do you want to live in the future?
______________________________ because ______________________________
For example, ______________________________________________________

I want to live in a 2-story Japanese house because there are many earthquakes in
Taiwan. The taller a building is, the higher the risk of it collapsing. Furthermore, there
are many restrictions in residential complexes. For example, I cannot keep a pet in
the interior space. Additionally, when I need to make modifications to my unit, I have
to follow strict rules.

A: Do you like the decoration in your home? Why or why not?
______________________________ because ______________________________
For example, ______________________________________________________

Yes, but I don’t like spend too much money in decoration, because too more decorations cost too much money and

occupy the living space. Furthermore, it also means that you must pay much more attention on the maintenance in

the future.

For example, living style will change as time goes by, so I prefer not to use a Wall-mounted furniture in order to

keep the flexibility of my living space. The more convenient amenities you have, the more risk it got broken in one

day. As the time goes by, people will not willing to maintain those stuff, and it will make your living space a mass.

原文訂正與建議：

第一段：

訂正：
Yes, but I don't like to spend too much money on decoration because having too many decorations not only costs a

lot but also takes up valuable living space. Furthermore, it means you will need to spend more time and effort on

maintenance in the future.

分析與改進：

1. "don't like spend" → 應改為 "don't like to spend"，動詞不定式更符合語法規則。

2. "in decoration" → 改為 "on decoration"，因為英語中「花費在某事上」通常用 "spend on"。

3. "too more decorations" → 改為 "having too many decorations"，"too more" 是不正確的搭配，應該用 "too many"。

4. "cost too much money and occupy the living space" → 改為 "costs a lot but also takes up valuable living

space"，用詞更簡潔且自然。

5. "pay much more attention on the maintenance" → 改為 "spend more time and effort on maintenance"，因為

「花費注意力」的表達用 "spend time/effort" 更常見。

第二段：

訂正：

For example, lifestyles change over time, so I prefer not to use wall-mounted furniture to maintain the flexibility of

my living space. The more convenient amenities you have, the higher the risk of them breaking one day. Over

time, people may become unwilling to maintain these items, which could turn your living space into a mess.

分析與改進：

1. "living style" → 改為 "lifestyles"，更符合英語慣用語。

2. "as time goes by" → 改為 "over time"，語意更簡潔。

3. "a Wall-mounted furniture" → 改為 "wall-mounted furniture"，因為 "furniture" 是不可數名詞，不需要冠詞 "a"。

4. "to keep the flexibility" → 改為 "to maintain the flexibility"，"maintain" 更貼合語境。

5. "the more risk it got broken" → 改為 "the higher the risk of them breaking"，"risk" 和 "breaking" 的搭配更自然。

6. "people will not willing" → 改為 "people may become unwilling"，語法正確且語氣更自然。

7. "those stuff" → 改為 "these items"，"stuff" 是非正式用語，且不可數，應改為更正式的表達。

8. "a mass" → 改為 "a mess"，"mass" 是「大量」或「團塊」，而「一團糟」應用 "mess"。

Yes, but I don't like to spend too much money on decoration because having too many decorations not only costs a

lot but also takes up valuable living space. Furthermore, it means you will need to spend more time and effort on

maintenance in the future.

For example, lifestyles change over time, so I prefer not to use wall-mounted furniture to maintain the flexibility of

my living space. The more convenient amenities you have, the higher the risk of them breaking one day. Over
