寫作中如何使用這些片語
範例：把學測作文升級到分科測驗作文
學測版：
Technology has both good and bad effects. We need to think carefully
about how to use it.
分科測驗版：
Technology is, fundamentally, a double-edged sword. While its
benefits are far-reaching, its potential drawbacks demand careful
consideration. The challenge, then, is not whether to embrace
technology — that question is, in essence, a moot point — but how
to navigate its complexities wisely.

威威老師的最後叮嚀
分科測驗作文要拿高分，用對 2-3 個進階片語就能加 5 分。
使用秘訣：
- 不要每篇都用 —— 一篇用 1-2 個就好
- 要用對情境 —— 不要硬塞，用錯比不用更扣分
- 背搭配的介系詞 —— “at odds WITH”，不是 “at odds OF”
檢查標準：
- 看到中文，能想到英文片語嗎？
- 能用這個片語造一個句子嗎？
- 句子的文法對嗎？
三個都對，這個片語才算「真的會」。加油！威威老師相信你做得到！
