正文开始
最近在帮同学看文章的时候，如果同学一次给我看两篇，或是之前也帮他看过其他文章，
除了提点一下各篇文章问题外，最后会再问同学一个问题：“你能讲得出来为什么A比B好
吗？”会要求同学自己主动思考一下，或是站在第三者角度，想像是别的同学写的文章，
批判一下A,B两篇。
.
以以下两篇文章为例，是同一位同学写的。
.
文章一
Personally, I believe that public transportation should not be free to the
public based on tax revenue. Not everyone likes to take public
transportation, it will be unfair if someone needs to pay for something they
don't need. For example, the reason why many people don't like public
transportation is that it costs more time than driving. Besides it can be
uncomfortable to take public transportation in rush hours with a lot of
people. I understand Paul's view that free public transportation would result
in having fewer cars on the roads, but he misses an important point that if
all of the citizens start to take public transportation rather than driving
on their own, public transportation might be overwhelmed and the quality of
public transportation can get worse. In this case, fewer people will be
willing to take public transportation.

文章二
I agree with Claire that people don't match the product's capabilities to
their actual needs. Because many companies are good at using advertisements
to manipulate consumers' hearts, some electronic device companies will use
advertisements to make people think that their lives will be more convenient
with the functions of their products. For instance, my cousin bought the
latest notebook before he went to college. The notebook was fast but also
expensive. He bought it because he saw the advertisements showing that a
college student should have a fast computer to take notes and use other
programs, or they may spend so much unnecessary time that they can not catch
up with others. However, after buying the computer, he realized that he
didn't need it at all; it was fine for him to use a normal notebook..
第一篇很明显的很杂乱，主题句的论点是“要求不搭大众运输的人付费是不公平的”，但
同学接下来讲的是“为什么有些人会不喜欢大众运输？”应该要解释的是“为什么不使用
的人要付费是不公平的”。
.
再来没有继续发展，又跳到“太多人搭大众运输会降低大众运输品质”，整段看下来没有
一个明确的重点。
.
但第二篇就好很多，同学认同“买东西确实常常买了一堆根本用不到的，理由是因为受广
告影响，”接下来的例子也很贴切。
.
我各自给完两篇的feedback后，就请同学再讲一次为什么第二篇比第一篇好，希望他能确
定方向，这样往后继续写才有意义。所以同学们若写完文章，除了看单一篇文章，或是请
人给feedback, 也可以考虑比较自己的两篇文章，并试着说出各自优缺点，以及Ａ比Ｂ好
的原因。当然自己看总是无法很客观，或是有盲点，但是多批判，能站在第三者角度看，
才比较能避免一直出现同样的问题，让每次练习更有效率。
.
同学们不妨试试看喔！
