§課文原文 Passage
1Report on the Use of the School Study Room. Introduction: The objective of this report is to examine why the study room in our school library is always overcrowded before examinations. Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by 200 students and an interview with the librarian. The report focuses on three areas: demand, the study environment and possible solutions.
2Findings: Eighty per cent of the respondents visit the study room at least twice a week, and many arrive as early as seven thirty in the morning to save seats. Demand is highest between four and seven in the evening, when only forty seats are available for a student population of over nine hundred. As a result, some students sit on the floor or share chairs.
3The study environment also needs attention. Many students complained that the room is too noisy because phones keep ringing and conversations continue near the doorway. Over half of the respondents said the air-conditioning is either too strong or switched off, and several asked for better lighting above the long tables.
4Conclusion: The study room cannot meet the present demand, especially during the examination period. Recommendation: It is recommended that the school should open two additional classrooms as quiet study areas during the examination period, extend the opening hours until nine in the evening, and enforce a strict no-phone policy. A simple online seat-booking system would also make better use of the existing space.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 引言引言寫目的 + 方法。舉個例:The objective of this report is to examine why the study room is always overcrowded… Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by 200 students and an interview with the librarian。
- 發現Findings 只寫事實數據。舉個例:Eighty per cent visit at least twice a week、many arrive as early as seven thirty in the morning to save seats——時間小節令數據更真實。
- 結論Conclusion 一句總結。舉個例:The study room cannot meet the present demand, especially during the examination period——跟數據行,不加驚嘆號。
- 建議Recommendation 要具體可行。舉個例:open two additional classrooms as quiet study areas · extend the opening hours until nine · enforce a strict no-phone policy——三招對應三個問題。
- 客觀語氣報告用被動語態和第三人稱:Data were collected · It is recommended that…——避免 I think;Findings 部分一句意見都不可以有。
- 數據對比對比數據最有說服力。舉個例:only forty seats are available for a student population of over nine hundred——四十個位對九百幾人,「迫」這個字都不用寫出來。
- 格式複習格式四部:Report on…(標題)→ Introduction(objective + method)→ Findings(數據)→ Conclusion + Recommendation——每部分標題分明,考官一眼看到結構分。
5例題示範 Example
範文《Report on the Use of the School Study Room》怎樣示範「引言 → 發現 → 結論 → 建議」格式?數據為什麼這樣重要?
- 第一步:標題一行講清主題「Report on...」;引言交代目的(為什麼自修室考試前迫爆)和方法(200 人問卷+訪問圖書館主任)。
- 第二步:Findings 只有寫事實:八成受訪者每週至少去兩次、很多學生早上 7:30 排隊佔位。
- 第三步:數據具體先有說服力——「only forty seats for over nine hundred students」比「好迫」有力得多。
- 第四步:環境發現同樣是事實:電話響個不停、門口有人聊天、冷氣太凍或者沒有開、長桌燈光不足。
- 第五步:Conclusion 一句總結(供不應求);Recommendation 針對每個問題提出可行方案。
- 答案:這份報告示範四段式格式。引言交代目的——調查自修室為什麼考試前長期爆滿——和方法——200 名學生問卷加圖書館主任訪問。Findings 全部用數據講事實:八成受訪者每週至少去兩次、早上七點半排隊佔位、四十個座位對九百多名學生,難怪有人要坐在地上。Conclusion 一句總結供不應求;Recommendation 針對問題提可行方案:加開兩間課室、延長開放至晚上九點、嚴禁手機、設網上訂位系統。全篇客觀正式,事實和意見分得一清二楚。
