新的一年，也想開啟新氣象，朝新的方向努力邁進。
近期來接觸到英語的academic writing，知道了所謂「小論文(essay)」的寫法與架構。
回憶起過往的求學經歷，台灣的教育似乎較側重於抒情文與記敘文，少著墨於議論文，也
缺乏相關訓練。擁有充沛資源的ROC國文課尚且如此，台語就更不用提了。
於是乎，筆者就想到將英語essay翻譯成台語的點子。
以下的文章是參考某篇雅思task 2練習。雅思寫作所評量的不只是詞彙、文法，還包括整
體的架構、脈絡。台語若要採字母書寫，就該同時顧慮到拼字、文法、標點符號的應用等
；除此之外，議論文該有的架構、組織、文意也不能少。作者有沒有離題？或者詞不達意
？夠不夠簡潔與精確？這些都必須被好好檢視、評量。

Q: Some people think that alternative energy can effectively replace fossil
fuels, while others don’t. What might be the reasons and why? Discuss both
views.
Fossil fuels, ranging from petroleum, coal, and natural gas, have long been
used as the main sources of power but are notorious for several reasons. Being
aware of the demerits, some people began to promote alternative energy as a
replacement; however, some doubt the effectiveness and essentiality of such
renewable energies.
Proponents of alternative energy argue that traditional fossil fuels are
inefficient, unsustainable, and, the most alarmingly, are environmentally
destructive, especially for the emission of greenhouse gas they cause. On the
other hand, alternative energy derived from natural sources such as biofuels,
hydrogen, solar, geothermal and others is more viable. Sunlight and wind, for
example, can be replenished constantly without generating any harmful gas.
Other sorts of renewable energy are plentiful as well. Another benefit for
using renewable energies instead of fossil fuels is that it could boost a
nation’s economy by reducing reliance on foreign suppliers that possess
abundant oil or natural gas resources.
However, opponents contented that unless a technological breakthrough be made,
renewable energy sources would never be able to replace fossil fuels. The
cost of alternative energy is higher than fossil fuels, which makes the latter
remaining the most economical choice by far. Alternative energies are not
always viable and could be affected by various factors. For instance, solar
plants would not be able to work in rainy and cloudy days while wind turbines
may stop rotating during the windless period.
All things considered, despite having several advantages as a replacement of
fossil fuels, alternative energy has been questioned for its relatively high
cost and instability. Not until the technological flaws are solved, could the
debate over alternative energy end.
