當我們給 ChatGPT 組織不良的提示語，又或含有不精準的字詞，雖然 ChatGPT 往往可以猜測到我們的意思，並回答給我們可接受，甚至是滿意的答案，但我們若想要提升英文能力，培養較高的寫作能力，我們可以讓 ChatGPT 檢查，甚至優化我們所給的提示語。例如：
Is "Create three sentences, using the word 'horizon', and align them with their Traditional Chinese translation." a sound sentence?
ChatGPT 說：
Yes — ✅ the sentence “Create three sentences, using the word ‘horizon’, and align them with their Traditional Chinese translation.” is grammatically sound, clear, and natural in standard English, especially in instructional or academic contexts.
Let’s analyze it precisely:
🔍 Structure Breakdown
-
Create three sentences → main clause (imperative command).
-
using the word ‘horizon’ → participial phrase functioning adverbially, explaining how to create the sentences.
-
and align them with their Traditional Chinese translation → coordinated imperative clause joined by and, giving a second instruction.
✅ Why it works
-
The commas around using the word 'horizon' are optional but acceptable — they simply add a pause for clarity.
-
The parallelism of Create … and align … is balanced and correct.
-
The phrase their Traditional Chinese translation correctly refers to each sentence’s corresponding translation.
✍️ Optional refinements
For smoother style, you could also write:
-
“Create three sentences using the word ‘horizon’ and align each with its Traditional Chinese translation.”
→ slightly smoother and avoids double commas. -
“Write three sentences that use the word ‘horizon,’ then align each with its Traditional Chinese translation.”
→ more natural in conversational or teaching contexts.
All versions are grammatically correct. The first one (your original) is entirely fine for academic or instructional use.
於是我就給它這個確認過的提示語，如下：

| English Sentence | Traditional Chinese Translation |

ChatGPT 說：
When we give ChatGPT poorly structured prompts or ones containing imprecise words, it can often infer what we mean and provide an acceptable—or even satisfying—response. However, if we want to improve our English proficiency and develop stronger writing skills, we can ask ChatGPT to review, and even refine, the prompts we provide.
