#日常英語🌋 今日睇返琴晚凌晨兩點幾寫俾大家嗰封信，發現咗兩個字特別想講，就係”Aspiration”同”Dream”, 因為”dream”呢個字可以係noun, verb, adjective同埋流行歌曲都會常用到”dream”字，所以大家都會好常用，例如adjective就會話”dream job”, “dream house”等等，而”aspiration”(noun)就冇咁常見。 - 不過呢，其實”aspiration”同”dream”係有minor difference㗎！根據Cambridge Dictionary, “aspiration”解”something you hope to achieve”，中文就係志向、抱負，例如：”He worked very hard to fulfil his childhood aspiration to become a surgeon.”, 成為醫生係一個志向、抱負。”dream”就解”something that you want to happen very much but this is not very likely”, 例如:”Winning the lottery is his dream.”, 喺呢個situation, 我哋唔能夠用”aspiration”，因為中獎嘅可能性係好低，同埋唔會係一種抱負嚟，應該用”dream”。😂 - 所以呢，以後Personal Statement嗰類，除咗用”dream”之外，會唔會用”aspiration”更準確呢？而”aspiration”都可以based on context修飾, 例如”political aspiration”, “educational aspiration”咁樣。 #Vocabno #English #DSE #18DSE #2018DSE #19DSE #2019DSE #20DSE #2020DSE #Reading #Writing #Speaking #Wordoftheday #Vocabulary #Expression #Phrase #HKDSE #LiberalStudies #通識 #LS #Dsetips #Linguistics #語言學 #Morphology #JUPAS

#ChitChat🌋 Supporters, friends and companions, - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 2018 has nearly come to an end. Without you all, Vocabno and I would not have those memorable experiences and this is why I want to seize this opportunity to thank you all here. - To me, 2018 is an important year, with lots of ups and downs, gains and losses. As a final year student, I think and reflect a lot to be a better self and a better role model of my students. I become more mature and rational but at the same time, I also become more passionate in my teaching journey. - Not everyone goes closer to their ideal destination when they grow old. Instead, they go further and further from their dream because of growing old, losing courage and claiming that’s the fate of all people who grow older. However, I am lucky as I still like what I was doing. One of the things I started 2.5 years before was Vocabno and I am still in love with it. I understand nothing is guaranteed. No-one knows what will be the next and therefore, I tell myself every day that I should do what I think is great in Vocabno, when others think a final year student should spend their time on studying well and finding a nice job. People often ask “What’s next for Vocabno?” I don’t have a model answer but I can just tell you “Vocabno will be better than yesterday.” - True, jobs can be exhausting. Haters can be rude. Life can be hard. For many times I wanted to give up and leave Vocabno alone but at last, I didn’t. This is because of my aspiration, my team and most importantly, my friends who think Vocabno can help them. - It has been 2.5 years. Thanks all who are always here to support, believe us and have the hope that we can be better. Vocabno will improve together with you all. Our 2019 will be better than ever. - Cheers, TL (Dai Dai) #Vocabno #English #DSE #18DSE #2018DSE #19DSE #2019DSE #20DSE #2020DSE #Reading #Writing #Speaking #Wordoftheday #Vocabulary #Expression #Phrase #HKDSE #LiberalStudies #通識 #LS #Dsetips #Linguistics #語言學 #Morphology #JUPAS

#JUPAS🌋 👉🏼Personal Statement 建議框架👈🏼 1. Quote 2(a). Personal Experience Interests towards particular subject 2(b). Personal Attributes which make you a suitable candidate 3. Aspiration/Goals in university // 1. 以一句同想入嘅科目有關嘅quote開首，表達個人價值觀，令印象更為深刻，然後繼續講述個人看法。 EDUCATION: As Nelson Mandela said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” MEDICINE: "They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel." said Maya Angelou. 2. 主要講個人同科目嘅關係，例如有個好老師對你做咗件事改變你好多，大病一場入醫院得到醫生/護士照顧，身邊有親人患病令你明白某種病嘅痛苦所以令你想讀pharm研發某種藥物。切忌老作浮誇，尤其要interview嘅科目俾人問到口啞啞就大鑊。 又或者你可以諗下你想讀嗰科同你個人特質有乜關係，例如老師要有耐性同愛心，你就講下你義教時遇到百厭細路點處理佢。又可能醫生護士要細心，社工要用心聆聽，社會學要對社會現象有警覺性同觀察力。 - 3. 你期望入到uni後憑自身能力做到乜嘢？例如教育嘅會唔會喺呢五年入面work on specific areas 例如students' mental health, 推廣自己嗰科(i.e. 中文, 英文, etc.)
