following造句 在 李偉文官方粉絲團 Facebook 的最佳貼文
今天到台中市東山高中的老師讀書會演講,他們現在正在讀”想讓你看見我眼中的世界” ,每個人的書都劃得密密的.又折角又貼Memo,認真得令人感動,這是我與ABCD寶合寫的,據說她們對B寶的一篇文章討論很久,甚至用其中的句型來造句。後面附上B寶這一篇文章。
….7張圖告訴你要不要休學
..數數看,冥冥之中,你到底是「大人」還是「小王子」?
1. 你會「KEEP ASKING WHY」還是「 NEVER STOP ASKING WHY NOT」?
大人聽到你要休學會需要一個很明確的理由。
小王子知道你出走的理由本身就在你的問句裡。
2.你會焦慮的詢問「COME ACROSS DIFFICULTIES」還是你會興奮地問 「 BUMP INTO ANYTHING INTERESTING」?
大人會驚嚇的覺得休學是不是意味著你遭逢過不去的難關,需要避一避。
小王子知道很有可能是別的星球把你吸出了B612。
3.你會警告「YOU WILL FALL BEHIND THE SCHEDULE」 還是羨慕「GO AHEAD EARN BACK YOUR CHILDHOOD」?
大人的人生是直線前進,覺得用最短時間走最多路才是王道。
小王子寧可偶爾繞圈圈,用不同角度看風景,搭上時光機繞回童年。
4.你會擔心的提醒「YOU WILL LOST YOUR FRIENDS」還是祝福「YOU WILL MAKE NEW FRIENDS」?
大人有列不完的煩惱和擔心。
小王子有創造不完的故事和冒險。
5.你會問「WHICH IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO」還是問「WHICH IS THE FIRST PLACE TO GO」?
大人總是喜歡把東西排序分級,連星球也是。
小王子知道每顆星球都獨一無二,值得拜訪。
6.你會問「WHAT DO YOU EXPECT」還是問「WHAT IS OUT OF EXPECTATION」?
大人覺得人生是一張清單,最好都在意料之中,才可以平安打上勾勾。
小王子知道意料之外的才會蹦發驚奇,英文最美的單字 serendipity 如此才會令人迷醉。
7. 你會說「FOLLOWING OTHERS IS KNOWING THE RANKINGS」還是說 「FOLLOWING YOURSELF IS ROCKETING YOUR IMAGINATION」?
跟著人群走,思考的是自己與人群的距離。
跟著自己走,需要思考的是我與自己的距離。
大人喜歡在同一個賽道裡競速。
小王子知道整個宇宙都是你的駕駛艙……全文請見連結

following造句 在 Eric's English Lounge Facebook 的精選貼文
[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.
