歌詞創作教學分享 1

繼「小說摘要和插畫創作」後，這回，Morrison 小弟的學習觸角伸向了「歌詞創作」 。隨著課程推進，他漸漸掌握了歌詞創作的要素，如：押韻、明喻、暗喻等，但最重要的是解放想像力，藉著文字容易令人上癮的鏗鏘音律，訴說一則又一則故事。

接著就來和大家分享 Morrison 改編的第一首歌詞吧！第一首為澳洲創作才女 Sia 的作品：Unstoppable。 Video 中為 Morrison 填上的新詞。而影片下方，新版和原版歌詞並陳。右邊為 Sia 的大作，左邊為 Morrison 實驗性的創作。改寫後的歌詞，每句字數都和原歌詞相同，但整體故事可說是「完全走味」了哈 ~ ~。

[ 較短版 ] 

This morning, seeing the warm sunlight flood into the living room, Dad said, “What a beautiful day! Let’s go on a long-expected family trip.” Mom and I let out shouts of joy. After finishing packing, Mom and I handed all the luggage to Dad and he put it into the car trunk. Off we went to embark on our exciting adventure.

Twenty minutes into our trip, we were stuck in a severe traffic jam. Hundreds of cars stranded on the highway formed a winding dragon and transformed the road into a big parking lot. It turned out that a taxi collided with a truck. Getting out of their damaged vehicles, the two drivers erupted into a fierce argument over who should be held accountable for the unpleasant incident and most importantly the compensation. After hours of sitting in a barely moving line of traffic, some impatient drivers kept sounding their horns while others groaned, shouted insults, and yelled, “Move your cars to the road shoulder. Don’t get in our way and waste our precious time.” Hearing that, the embarassed drivers apologized to everyone for the incovenience they had caused and had their cars towed away. After the farce came to an end, we got on the road again. One hour later, we arrived at our destination – the Taipei Zoo- only to find a vast sea of visitors flocking in front of the main gate. I shook my head in disbelief.

An idea flashed into my mind. Instead of waiting in the seemingly endless line and squeezing through the entrance to join the birthday party of Yuan Zai, the lovely baby panda, I suggested my parents to go picnicking at the nearby riverside park. Wandering around for a while, we finally chose a shading patch of grass under a tree as our ideal picnic spot. Dad and I went to buy some cold drinks while Mom half-opened the lids of the food containers to prevent the sandwiches from going soggy. The ketchup and salad dressing made Mom’s hands sticky so she went to the restroom to clean herself up. As all of us were away, the delicious smell drifting in the air tempted the hungry monkey down. After stuffing a big plastic bag with apples and his favorite snacks, the greedy animal grabbed his rewards, climbed back to the tree and hid in the branches.

Returning to the picnic site, we were shocked to see the basket empty and the blanket in a terrible mess. Suddenly, I was hit hard on the head by the apple cores coming from out of nowhere. Looking up, we saw a monkey flashing a naughty grin and making faces at us. We came to realize it was the monkey that stole our food and ruined our picnic. Rather than hunting down the “shameless thief,” we looked at each other and burst into roaring laughter. This episode did make our outing unforgettable.

As a senior, I spent every waking moment burying myself in piles of books to excel in the college entrance exam. Meanwhile, my parents, both of whom had a tight schedule, seldom went back home before 2 a.m. Therefore, we barely have time to hang out together, engage in an interesting conversation or sat at the table to feast on delicacies. This morning, seeing the warm sunlight flood into the living room, Dad said, “What a beautiful day! Let’s go on a long-expected family trip.” Mom and I let out shouts of joy. After finishing packing, Mom and I handed all the luggage to Dad and he put it into the car trunk. Off we went to embark on our exciting adventure. 

Twenty minutes into our trip, we were stuck in a severe traffic jam. Hundreds of cars stranded on the highway formed a winding dragon and transformed the road into a big parking lot. It turned out that a taxi collided with a truck. Getting out of their damaged vehicles, the two drivers erupted into a fierce argument over who should be held accountable for the unpleasant incident and most importantly the compensation. After hours of sitting in a barely moving line of traffic, some impatient drivers kept sounding their horns while others groaned, shouted insults, and yelled, “Move your cars to the road shoulder. Don’t get in our way and waste our precious time.” Hearing that, the embarrassed drivers apologized to everyone for the inconvenience they had caused and had their cars towed away. After the farce came to an end, we got on the road again. One hour later, we arrived at our destination – the Taipei Zoo- only to find a vast sea of visitors flocking in front of the main gate. 

Not wanting to wait in the seemingly endless line, I shook my head in disbelief and looked down at the heavy picnic basket in my hand. Right at this moment, an idea flashed into my mind. Instead of squeezing through the entrance to join the birthday party of Yuanzi, the lovely baby panda, I suggested my parents to go picnicking at the nearby riverside park. Wandering around for a while, we finally chose a shading patch of grass under a tree as our ideal picnic spot. When Mom spread the picnic blanket, I told her that I forgot to bring my favorite black tea and Dad and I would like to buy some in the nearby convenience store. Mom replied, “Go ahead,” while she half-opened the lids of the food containers to prevent the sandwiches and hamburgers from going soggy. The ketchup and salad dressing made her hands sticky so she went to the restroom to clean herself up. As all of us were away, a gust of strong wind blew all the lids away. The delicious smell drifting in the air tempted the hungry monkey down. The greedy animal scrambled to stuff the big plastic bag with apples, chicken pies, and chocolate cakes. Unable to resist the temptation of the ripe bananas, he even stopped to eat some. Feeling content, the monkey grabbed the heavy bag, climbed back to the tree and hid in the branches. 

As we returned to the picnic site, we were shocked to see the basket empty and the blanket in a terrible mess. When we wondered what had happened, I was hit hard on the head by the apple cores coming from out of nowhere. Looking up, we saw a monkey flashing a naughty grin and making faces at us. We came to realize it was the monkey that stole our food and ruined our picnic. Dad and I ran after the “shameless thief,” trying to get back some of our foods, but our half-hour hunt ended in failure. Hearing her stomach growling loud, Mom said, “I know there is a famous restaurant just across the street. How about having lunch there?” I nodded in silent agreement, looking quite exhausted. Today just wasn’t our day!

106 學測英文：作文猜題

近年來學測作文指考化，棄連環圖，改採命題式作文的趨勢愈形明顯。教學團隊討論出六道結合時事的作文題目供大家參考一下。 

1. 假若你是雇主，你傾向以較高的薪水來雇用資深員工，還是以較低的薪水聘用沒工作經驗的年輕員工呢？促使你做出此決定的理由又是什麼？（這個題目的靈感來自今年層出不窮的勞資爭議事件）

2. 社會上發生多起博愛座強迫讓位事件，讓這個原本立意良善的設施蒙上陰影。社會上也開始出現廢除博愛座的聲音。請表達你對廢除博愛座一事的看法。第一段說明你贊不贊成廢除博愛座，並陳述原因。第二段以個人經驗為例，說明你平常搭乘大眾運輸系統所觀察到的博愛座使用情況。 

3. 2016年八月高中生服儀規定有了重大的變革。教育部宣布鬆綁逾百年的服儀管制，學生可選擇穿著學校認可服裝進出校園。學生團體認為這是一大進步，更希望進一步開放全面穿便服；但也有教師憂心未來學生會越來越難管教。你認為學生應穿制服嗎？你贊成或反對的理由為何?

4. 科技不斷推陳出新，自動化機器大軍正一點一滴地滲透我們的生活。第一段請描述你認為未來人工智慧和機器人的進化將如何改變人類社會呢﹖第二段請就如何因應上述現象，具體（舉例）說明你對大學生涯的學習規劃。 

5. 回顧近幾年，最令你印象深刻的風潮是什麼呢﹖第一段請說明這股風潮對台灣社會所造成的影響﹖第二段請分析這股風潮的利弊得失。 

6. 近幾年，來台觀光旅遊人數和鄰近的日本、韓國、新加坡、馬來西亞等仍有一段差距。且這些國家也都加足馬力，積極擴展觀光版圖，因此我們向前的腳步沒有稍歇的權利。第一段，請說明你認為應如何提升台灣的觀光競爭力呢﹖第二段，請介紹一個你想讓外國人認識的城鎮，內容包括當地的風土民情、觀光景點或美食小吃。
