Ocean Park Cable Car Riders Hang in Mid-Air in Cold Air
.
Summary:
Due to a mechanical failure which abruptly halted the cable car service at Ocean Park on Saturday at 7:43pm, around 200 cable car riders were stranded in mid-air for 30 minutes. The chilly air and the height were more than enough to send a chill down the affected visitors’ spines.

Language Enhancement:
Abruptly (adv.)(突然地)
如果作文中要表達「突然」,相信絕大部分同學會用上 suddenly (adv.),除它之外也建議學會近義字 abruptly。它們的分別在於 abruptly 的「突然」通常是令人不快,因此語帶負面意思,suddenly 則相對下中性。
e.g. The bus decelerated abruptly, causing many passengers to lose their balance.
e.g. Jim just left the party abruptly without saying goodbye or telling anyone he was leaving. Did something happen?
