閱讀:找出主幹,再處理修飾及指代
遇到長句,先辨認誰做了甚麼,再讀時間、原因和補充資料;不要逐字翻譯後才拼湊意思。
| 學習重點 | 原創例子/做法 | 分析及使用注意 |
|---|---|---|
| 主幹與修飾 | The girl with a blue folder waited outside the office after lunch. | 主幹是 The girl waited;with a blue folder 辨認人物,outside the office 及 after lunch 補充地點、時間。 |
| 代詞指代 | The club bought new cameras. They will be used during the school fair. | They 指 new cameras。須同時核對單複數及意思,不能只選最接近的名詞。 |
| 轉折後的重點 | The route was shorter, but the steep steps made the walk tiring. | 較短不等於較輕鬆;but 後補充的資訊會改變整句重點。 |
| 用自己的話整理 | The hall was packed. → There was very little space because many people were there. | 改寫保留原意;不能把 packed 理解為建築物已收拾好。 |
時態:在一段敘述中交代先後及背景
判斷時態要看事件在文章中的作用,而不只看單一提示字。
| 學習重點 | 原創例子/做法 | 分析及使用注意 |
|---|---|---|
| 主要事件 | We arrived at the centre, collected our badges and joined the group. | 一般過去式把已完成的事件按次序推進。 |
| 正在進行的背景 | While we were waiting, the guide showed us a map. | were waiting 交代當時背景;showed 是在背景中發生的事。 |
| 習慣與目前情況 | I usually walk home, but this week I am taking the bus. | usually 描述習慣;this week 的暫時安排用進行式較合適。 |
| 避免混亂轉時態 | Last Saturday, we visited the museum and watched a short film. | 同一過去敘事中不應無故把 watched 改成 watch;引用人物說話則可按語境轉換。 |
寫作:一段圍繞一個重點,補充具體細節
先交代段落重點,再用可觀察的行動、例子和結果解釋。只有 good、nice 或 interesting,讀者難以理解你的意思。
| 學習重點 | 原創例子/做法 | 分析及使用注意 |
|---|---|---|
| 主題句 | The reading corner has made our classroom more welcoming. | 交代本段要說明閱讀角對課室的影響,而非只列設施。 |
| 具體細節 | Two students sort the books every Friday, and classmates leave short recommendations. | 說清楚誰、何時、做甚麼,比 Students do many things 更具體。 |
| 結果 | As a result, even classmates who rarely borrowed books now stop to read the notes. | 結果須能由前面的安排合理推導,不要突然加入無關成績。 |
| 基本連貫 | the books → these titles;our classmates → they | 交替使用指代可減少重複,但仍要讓讀者清楚知道所指。 |
電郵、聆聽與口語:交代資料及理由
升中後,學生需要在不同場合使用英文。清楚完成溝通目的,比背一整套開場句更實用。
| 學習重點 | 原創例子/做法 | 分析及使用注意 |
|---|---|---|
| 給老師的電郵 | Could you let me know whether the meeting is still on Friday? | 對老師保持禮貌;whether 後用陳述句語序,不寫 whether is the meeting。 |
| 給同學的訊息 | I can bring the posters. Could you bring some tape? | 交代自己負責甚麼,再提出具體請求;毋須套用商業信件語氣。 |
| 聽出更改 | The meeting was planned for Tuesday, but it has been moved to Thursday. | 筆記須保留最後確認的 Thursday,不能只記第一個聽到的日期。 |
| 口頭說明選擇 | I would choose the indoor venue because we can still use it if it rains. | 選擇後補上與情境相關的理由,比只說 It is better 完整。 |
