[Word Map 1: Health care]

各位同學是否曾經有想要背單字卻常常忘記的經驗，或是無法在口說或寫作時應用已經背過的單字？

老師幫同學設計的一種新的單字學習方式結合了 collocation、lexical chunks 和 semantic mapping 更有效率地學習單字:

我們可以使用 collocation(e.g. totally convinced, strong accent) 的方式來更有效率地學習單字( http://goo.gl/MHfDzx )。或是我們可以使用 lexical chunks (e.g. by the time, if I were you) 這會幫助你更快地在口說和寫作中產出適當的語言 (http://goo.gl/jswS0E)。更有效率的方式是把所有相關的lexical chunks (詞彙組塊) 歸納在一個主題下，在有上下文的情境下用 semantic map (語義圖) 讓你用一個主題展開一系列的話題的學習。接下來再利用時事英文加深同學們對這一些相關的lexical chunks 的認知來進行討論，進行有意義的學習。

今天，我們將要學習和health care有關的單字。我建議各位可以先讀過下面的字句，用他們造句，在讀過我提供的範文。接著，在自己使用剛剛學會的這些單字撰寫自己的文章。假如同學覺得此單元對自己學習英文有幫助或者想聽到老師錄的音檔 (甚至拍相關的影片) 請在下方留言喔！我會繼續努力提供新的教材給各位學習喔!

這些字可以用主題來組織成這個word map，好處就是可以方便各為同學在需要的時候做聯想。不過單字跟單字的mapping只是第一步。現在我們來看看如何在時事新聞使用這些字。

News English:

The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, known as MERS, is a viral respiratory illness. The most recent outbreak occurred in South Korea with over 150 reported cases and 19 deaths as of June 15th, and over 2300 have been placed under quarantine, making it the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia, its place of origin. Most patients who contracted MERS developed severe acute respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent the MERS infection, but numerous countries are exploring the possibility of developing one. To prevent MERS, doctors have recommended the following: wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds each time, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid personal contact, such as kissing, or sharing cups or eating utensils, with sick people. Clean and disinfect touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs, frequently. Lastly, stay away from crowded places and pay attention to public announcements. Although there is no specific treatment recommended for MERS infection, individuals with MERS can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms. Stay healthy, everyone.

Woo baby we can fly high
這顆心不超載 就 fly

JV:
三輪車跑得快上 面載滿我的愛 油門重踩 表達愛的重拍 敞開心懷 我只讓你依賴 BABY GIRL 伸出手來 感受我的壞
愛你就趁現在 永遠不會更改 要抱著什麼心態 愛才更精彩 陪你燭光晚餐 香檳是招待 感情不是搖骰 承諾不會腰斬
OH MY OH MY WE CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT FLY HIGH FLY HIGH WE CAN TOUCH THE SKY
east side to west side 到處是我節拍 快炒或涼拌 是妳煮的我都愛
我捨不得跟你離開超過一分鐘 相信我背著你絕對不會太沉重 壓抑的心像是火箭準備要升空 我的宇宙永遠只關注你的背後

JV:

帶著悸動 讓雙腳騰空
雲霄飛車般你讓我失控
沉浸你的溫柔 永遠不嫌多
一秒鐘怎麼足夠 用一輩子夠 不 夠
在我身後 有你的 小 宇 宙
星光的熱度 別人好忌妒
Baby fool 一個微笑是我的全部
I love u 隨著旋律譜成音符

JV:
夢裡就讓我抱著你飛夜 裡的星讓我背你著追
凝結的空氣在彼此的呼吸答應你對你沒有秘密
包廂裡讓我抱著你醉夜 空的星是我為你點綴
音符的旋律 像造飛機 那彼此的默契是滑翔翼
