     The pie chart above shows how an average house uses electricity in the U.K. More than half of the electricity is used for heating rooms and water. About eighteen percent of the electricity is consumed by ovens, kettles, and washing machines. The rest is equally divided into two parts. One is used in lighting, TV and radio, and the other is in the use of vacuum cleaners, food mixer, and electric tools.

     Unlike the U.K., Taiwan is very hot and humid. Since the climates in these two areas are drastically different, how electricity is used differs as well. In Taiwan, air-conditioners and dehumidifiers consume a large proportion of electricity. Thirty percent is consumed for other electric appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Ten percent is used for lighting. Last but not least, since computers are used a lot in Taiwan, many families have several computers. Thus, the electricity consumption by computers also plays a part.

範例一

Tracy’s parents were always busy at work, and as a result, she often stayed at home alone after school. She had things to do as well, such as finishing her assignments and practicing the violin. However, she wished that her parents and she could spend more quality time together. Her parents usually worked late and didn’t come home until nearly bedtime. When talking to her friends, Tracy often heard about the activities they did with their parents. She envied her friends and couldn’t help but complain that her parents always put work first and her second.

On her 18th birthday, Tracy didn’t have too many expectations for it. She thought her parents would be too occupied at work to celebrate it. Nevertheless, upon arriving home, she found a new violin and a birthday card on her desk. The card said, “My dear, we’re looking forward to coming home earlier than normal so we can take you out to dinner. We love you and can’t wait to celebrate your special day! Happy


18th birthday!” Deeply touched, she realized that her parents did care about making an effort when they could. After this event, Tracy realized how much her parents loved her even though they couldn’t spend much time with her.

 

範例二

Tracy’s parents were always busy at work, and as a result, she often stayed at home alone after school. One evening, Tracy’s parents were gone when the doorbell rang. When Tracy opened the front door, a sturdy man was standing there. Before Tracy could ask who he was, he quickly grabbed her and put a bag over her head. As he was dragging Tracy away, one of Tracy’s neighbors was watering plants outside. The neighbor saw what was happening and screamed for help. She ran inside and called the police to report a kidnapping.

At work, Tracy’s parents both received calls from the police telling them their daughter was at the police station. They explained how they had arrested the man who had tried to abduct Tracy. Anxious and in a panic, Tracy’s parents left work right away and rushed to the police station. There was Tracy, trembling with fear and crying bitterly, but otherwise unhurt. Her parents felt guilty about their negligence of their daughter. They apologized to Tracy and the police. After this terrible event, Tracy’s parents promised that they would pay more attention to Tracy and spend more time with her.
