Superhero
Superhero, an incredible saver, takes a huge responsibility for world peace.Among the three superheroes, Waller who can travel to anywhere at will, Laser who can shoot radiation out of his hands, and Shaper who can turn into different kinds of shapes at random. They all hold their gifts to maintain international peace and security. However, if I need to make an assumption of the danger that might occur to the earth, I would think it must be an almighty attack. Therefore, a powerful hero with the greatest strength and flexible ability is the priority that I would choose. Laser is the one that caters to the need.
Although Waller is able to go to places whenever he wants, he may not seize the danger with his power, so he wouldn't be the best choice. As for Shaper, whose superpower is shape-shifting, cannot launch an attack in a battle, it makes him look pale in the circumstance. On the contrary, Laser who is able to crack a thing open by easily moving his hands. I would use this laser-shooting ability to help the citizens from being attacked. When the bad guys want to hurt the people, I would cut off their paths and leave them stranded on the damaged roads, so that they could never find their ways out. In addition to that, I would form a team to protect the earth with me, our goal is to fight the villains. They will report where the catastrophe takes place, and I will use my laser hands to stop it right away. With the intention to make the world a better place, I believe Laser will be the greatest superhero one ever wants.
超級英雄,一個有天賦異稟的世界和平拯救者。穿牆者代表的是空間的無限轉移,雷射光則是高能量的攻擊手,變形者能任意轉換形體於瞬間。三個異能者,各自擁有獨特的能力保衛這個世界,然而,如果一定要選擇其一擔任其職,我會設想危難發生的情況,作為衡量的標準。我認為超級英雄支援的危機,通常是在地球遭遇巨大的攻擊。因此,擁有相對高能攻擊力以及應變的強項,就會是首要的考量。雷射光在這樣的緊急為難之中,就相當切合需求。
分析如附,雖然穿牆者能夠穿梭時地於無形,但這項異能無法控制攻擊的瞬間。至於變形者雖然能變形於瞬間,但他也無法發動攻擊,進而產生保衛民眾的功能。相對地來說,雷射光能夠即刻發動攻擊並救援民眾於水火,而且他的高能量還能破壞敵人的攻擊防線,讓敵方能無所遁形,才是真正的保衛強手。再者,如若我是雷射光我會應用智慧攻防,讓民眾擔任協防的角色,通報危機的時地,這樣我就能夠發揮雷射光的最強功效-攻擊加上保衛,在最緊迫的時間內,完成任務,幫助地球解除危機。因此,我相信雷射光會是保衛的第一高手。

老師對文章評論解析
拯救地球這個題目很大,因為地球可能的危機很多種面向,因此選擇英雄角色之後,要讓選擇合理化(引導讀者進入你的邏輯),也就是危機的模擬,因為危機有很多種,需要動用到superhero 的往往指涉的會是攻擊事件,Laser 是擅長攻擊的角色,很容易發揮這個特點。因此,想辦法引導讀者認同觀點很重要 (題目要先聚焦)才能將表達的內容具體化。
Joyce 同學在對於她選擇的laser 攻擊應用上,寫出了很生動的攻防策略,不凡藏在細節處,這是很好的示範短文。
