常見錯誤

1. 1high涉及分數: 12Spoken Language and Media Discourse

   Applying spoken conversation theories blindly to pre-scripted, autocue-read news delivery (such as ITV News at Ten) or pre-recorded media.

   如何避免: Distinguish between spontaneous speech and planned, broadcast speech. Comment on the impact of editing, scripting, and media constraints rather than assuming natural turn-taking dynamics.
2. 2high涉及分數: 12Topical Language Writing (Paper 2 Section A)

   Using unglossed linguistic jargon (like 'lexical asymmetry' or 'anaphoric reference') in the Section A writing task for a general audience.

   如何避免: Adapt your register for a non-specialist audience by introducing concepts with a light touch and providing clear, engaging explanations or definitions.
3. 3medium涉及分數: 8Linguistic Analysis Methodologies

   Treating language levels (lexis, grammar, phonology) in isolated lists ('feature spotting') rather than integrating them to explain construction of meaning.

   如何避免: Structure paragraphs around thematic or functional ideas, showing how grammatical choices, lexical patterns, and pragmatic features work together to convey power or gender.
4. 4high涉及分數: 12Comparative Text Analysis

   Failing to systematically compare and contrast texts in H070/01 Section B, leading to separate, isolated summaries of both texts.

   如何避免: Use comparative transitional phrasing and structure paragraphs around shared concepts, features, or themes (such as pronoun use or sentence types) to analyze both texts side-by-side.
5. 5medium涉及分數: 6Multimodal Analysis

   Neglecting multimodal and graphological features (such as bold fonts, hyperlinks, parenthetical sub-headings, and illustrative photographs) in online texts.

   如何避免: Analyze how typographical choices and visual structures interact with text features to direct reader attention and support the text's persuasive or informative purposes.
6. 6medium涉及分數: 4Grammar and Syntax

   Assuming that simple sentences are always less sophisticated than complex sentences, which ignores syntactic pacing and stylistic emphasis.

   如何避免: Explain how writers deliberately use simple sentences, syntactic delay, or fronted conjunctions to create impact, emphasis, or conversational immediacy.
7. 7medium涉及分數: 8Spoken Language Transcripts

   Overlooking regional syntax variations or non-standard structures, such as article deletion in spoken transcripts, or treating spoken transcripts exactly like written prose.

   如何避免: Specifically comment on paralinguistic elements, stress, non-fluent pauses, fillers, and regional syntactic markers (like dialectal variations) as key features of spontaneous spoken discourse.
