Good writing evokes emotion. Good writing connects things. Good writing tells a story that the reader can
relate to. Too often, writers only 26 themselves against other writers. Those with better vocabularies and
slicker prose appear to be the best of the group. But it’s actually wrong to think that good writing, and becoming
a good writer, 27 formal education. Good writers don’t 28 quote Shakespeare, nor do they use four-
and five-syllable words. They don’t try to impress their readers with beautiful verses that rhyme and flow
effortlessly from beginning to end. Good writers, 29 any good communicator, worry about one thing and
one thing only: connecting their audience to the story. Good writers construct their writing in a way that’s
understood by their target audience. Big words, little words, and 30 made up words can be used. While
smooth prose is certainly fun to read, it’s not always necessary in order to be understood.

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
With new appearances of underground and local idols, the idol industry is attracting many young people
whose dream of becoming a popular idol is no longer so impossible. The growing industry, however, has many
problems. Author and idol authority Nakamori Akio talks about those problems.
“First of all, people don’t really understand what an idol is or does. I define an idol as a job in which you
work to get people to like you.” Nakamori warns those who want to become idols to be careful in choosing an
agent and points out the importance of the contract. “The problem now is that there are too many idols. The idol
group AKB48 alone has several hundred members. And while there is no accurate count, if you include local
idols and so-called underground idols, the number is probably over 10,000. Problems are increasing in direct
proportion to the numbers and the increase in nonprofessional operations.”
Nakamori suggests that to help sustain the industry, schools should allow “idol clubs” as part of their
extracurricular activities as one way to ensure adult supervision and responsible management. “Extracurricular
clubs in schools are managed by teachers. A school also provides a safe environment that would allow for a
certain degree of self-management by the students. Schools already have drama clubs and dance clubs. I think the
reason schools don’t yet have idol clubs is the general idea that being an idol is somehow a ‘lightweight’
profession. But idols do many things. Some dance and sing; others compose music or design costumes. Some
even act as producers. I don’t see why these activities couldn’t be combined into a school idol club.”
Another factor that has hindered the formation of idol clubs at schools is the conservative nature of the
industry. “That’s because an idol is viewed as a role model,” says Nakamori. “The tendency is to imitate and copy,
which reduces the creative aspects of the profession. The current idol image is no different from what we had
back in the 1970s with Pink Lady or the Candies. AKB48, with its large numbers, is based on a system developed
long ago by the Takarazuka revue (寶塚歌劇團). As staged entertainment, I don’t see much development since
the 1970s.”
