這個結構為何有效

它讓 purpose、內容推進及 audience awareness 清楚呈現。

BasicI think the school should reduce plastic waste.

BetterI believe the school should take practical steps to reduce plastic waste.

StrongerI strongly recommend that the school introduce practical measures to reduce its reliance on single-use plastics.

較強版本提出具體行動，並使用恰當的正式建議語氣。

DSE-style prompt

以校內讀者為對象，提出有清楚理由支持的實際改善建議。

Dear Ms Lee,

I am writing on behalf of the Environmental Club to recommend practical ways our school can reduce its reliance on single-use plastics.

First, the school could install clearly labelled refill stations on every floor. This would make reusing bottles more convenient and reduce the number of disposable drinks containers bought each day.

Furthermore, class representatives could collect student feedback after a four-week trial. The school could then improve the scheme using evidence rather than assumptions.

Yours sincerely,
Chris Wong
