滿分榜》陳以芝搖滾迷 英文作文滿分
2008/02/28 【聯合報╱記者林宜靜／台北報導】
今年學測成績，只有四人英文作文滿分，拿到作文滿分的台北師大附中學生陳以芝喜歡讀英文小說，每天用英文寫日記，她建議，與其死背單字，不如練習寫句子，學會運用單字就不會忘記。
擦著黑色指甲、戴骷髏頭項鍊，長像甜美的陳以芝，喜歡聽搖滾音樂、讀J.D.Salinger（沙林傑，麥田捕手）小說。由於父親是經濟部外派人員，一歲就隨父母移居國外，小學二年級才回到台灣，小五又出國，高二轉學申請進入附中，成長過程比一般學生有更多接觸英文的機會。
今年英文作文提示是你向朋友借了一件相當珍貴的物品，但不慎遺失，一時又買不到替代品。請寫一封信，第一段說明物品遺失的經過，第二段則表達歉意並提出可能的解決方案。
陳以芝以向朋友借了一個Prada包，不慎掉在舞會湖水裡的故事，拿到作文廿分的滿分。她回憶英文作文內容：
Dear Eve：
Friday's cocktail party was extremely enjoyable. George's house was so huge--the garden was like a miniature copy of that of the Palace of Versailles! The interior design was also breath-taking, you should have seen it. Not to mention, there was a lake. The lake was so placid it was like an emerald mirror. I wanted to take a closer look at the lake, so I started to walk forward. However, I tripped. And…remember that Prada purse you lent me the other day Well…it sort of…fell into the middle of the lake.
I am so sorry! I searched every Prada store in the city, but I couldn't find a purse with the same style. You knew that I adored the purse and lent it to me by yourself without having me ask, and to think that I've lost it through a stupid misstep...! I know that apologizing alone isn't enough.Therefore, the next time we go shopping together, I'll buy you a new purse--regardless of the price. Of course, if you ask me for my opinions I'll tell you the truth. Otherwise, I'll pay for it without any second questions, unless the purse really is too ugly. Anyway, you have every right to be angry with me, but remember: when your fury calms down, give me a call so we can go shopping for your new purse.
Sincerely,
from Mary
