喜歡BTS?
英文也要很好喔！
他們的歌曲選用的英文字都很高階，
而且發音超棒！

今天來學euphoria這個字～
☺️ euphoria (n.) 幸福感；陶醉感 ☺️

之後看到英文字有eu-開頭，
它會帶有正向的意思，
因為它表示「好」👍🏼👍🏼
不覺得eu-的發音，
聽起來很像中文的「優」？
那它肯定好棒棒！

[學生常犯的寫作錯誤1]

學習者應該怎麼修正自己的錯誤？
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7w3d0c7xmam0lw/AWFAQ2.pdf?dl=0

1. He can’t leave early because he has many works to do. [X]
He can’t leave early because he has a lot of work to do. [O]
He can’t leave early because he has many projects to do. [O]

解釋: work 當工作時是不可數名詞，只有當藝術，文學，和音樂的作品時才可數 (works of art)。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Reading daily helps people learn a lot of knowledge. [X]
Reading daily helps people acquire a lot of knowledge. [O]

解釋: learn 是學習而 knowledge 是知識，學問。你只可以獲得知識而不是學習知識。

請多參考配詞辭典: http://www.ozdic.com/collocation-dictionary/knowledge

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. About a million people in the region are lack of drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [X]
About a million people in the region lack of drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [X]

About a million people in the region lack access to drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [O]
Where there is a lack of water, there is conflict. [O]
Reports of the drought and exactly what is happening are lacking. [O]
The new government is lacking in experience. [O]

解釋: 在這裡 lack是一個及物動詞，所以可直接接受詞。補充：當lack是名詞時，則必須用of (lack of water = 名詞片語) 。Lacking是形容詞，使用時可以加入介係詞 in 來連接名詞。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Many people choose not to attend the university after high school. [X]
Many people choose not to attend university after high school. [O]

解釋: 在表示處於某種狀態或從事某種活動的抽象概念時不用定冠詞the，指定哪一所大學時才會在這裡用定冠詞。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

5 A list of names and numbers are on the table. [X]
A list of names and numbers is on the table. [O]

解釋:主詞後面的介系詞片語，只作修飾用，因此一致性只需看名詞的部分。

The country's leading export are cameras. [X]
The country’s leading export is cameras. [O]

解釋: be 動詞要和它的主詞一致，和補語無關，不要被混淆了！

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, has died for almost three years. [X]
Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, has been dead (adj.) for almost three years. [O]
Steve Jobs the former CEO of Apple, passed away (euphemism--婉轉說法) three years ago. [O]

解釋: 中文裡沒有「動作動詞」與「狀態動詞」的區分，不論是解釋動作或狀態往往都用同一個字詞來表示，但是在英文書寫時就容易出問題了。上列的句子皆是表示動作發生之後的某種狀態，所以不能再用”動作動詞”來描述，應該用”狀態”來表達。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

7. The students forget to bring their homework assignments to school today. [X]
The students forgot to bring their homework assignments to school today. [O]

解釋:現在式表示「事實」，但當在敘述你忘記某件事情時，因為你是在”過去”忘記這件事，所以用過去式。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

8. He becomes an excellent student after a sincere talk with his teacher. [X]
He became an excellent student after a sincere talk with his teacher. [O]

解釋: “他變成了一個好學生…”這是表示明顯改變的動詞。因為是敘述過去的改變，所以要用過去式。

(改變-become是在講這句話之前就已經發生的事，所以用過去式，但如果要說他現在是一位好學生，直接用He is an excellent student來表示)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

9. The ambassador answered the difficult question with warmth and in a humorous way. [X]
The ambassador answered the difficult question with warmth (n.) and humor (n.). [O]

解釋: 為了要表達一些地位平等的想法，英文使用平衡結構 (Parallelism)，將兩個字詞或句子用以下幾種方式連接起來，所連接的兩邊要使用一樣的時態、詞類等，以求平衡。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

10. People should stop to smoke as soon as possible. [X]
People should stop smoking as soon as possible. [O]

解釋:句子要表達的是人應該停止抽菸。由於把抽菸當作一件具體的事件，所以應該使用動名詞，若使用不定詞，則代表人應該停下來去抽菸。
