👀Analysis on 2017 Paper 2 inappropriate choice of language👀
-
😠Stock phrases
1️⃣ gourmet’s paradise
👀代替: food paradise
2️⃣mouth-watering cuisine
👀代替: delicious/tasty/wonderful dish
3️⃣cut-throat competition
👀代替: keen competition
4️⃣fight on our own turf
呢度context不足，未能replace，不過”turf”指”area”，應該都係”keen competition”嗰類。

👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼大大:2017嘅stock phrases都係針對metaphorical嘅字/idioms去講，雖然idiom得一個，不過過往幾年已經嚴打咗一堆”idioms”，你仲夠唔夠膽呢？最少semi-formal同formal嘅我一定唔會用。👀
////////////////////////////
😠Problematic sentences
5️⃣ While some sing praises to this choice in the belief that…, some frown upon it.
👀代替: While some believe this choice is wise in the sense that…, some disagree.
🧠原因: 考評局認為“sing praises”係poetic同metaphorical，而2016嘅report已經講咗”frown upon”唔係咁用，用返”disagree”較好。
-
6️⃣ After serious consideration in the long run as a whole, I am firmly convinced that we should give the green lights to the suggestion. 👀代替: Considering the enormous benefits brought by the suggestion, we should adopt it soon.
🧠原因: 考評局就話前半句好累贅，我就覺得成句都好累贅😂冇人care你係咪convinced, 你要convince readers嘛。”Give green lights”就係idioms類，盡量少用啦，再加上你前面又咁formal, 無啦啦整個idiom怪怪的。
-
7️⃣ Valid as this argument is at first glance, it does not HOLD much WATER.
👀代替: The argument seems to be valid/sounds reasonable. In fact, it is illogical as... 🧠原因: “Hold water”係cliché，都話考評局dislike idioms㗎啦，尤其formal, semi-formal。
-
8️⃣ The justifications to which my PROPENSITY can be ASCRIBED are TWO-FOLD.
👀代替: There are 2 reasons, including A and B, behind my view.
🧠原因: “propensity”, “ascribed” 同 “two-fold” 係low-frequency words，通常用於legal context)，2016已經開始ban “manifold”, 17再ban, 小心！🤭
-
9️⃣ Beneath my stance, there lie strong justifications and an anticipated prospect in supporting…
👀代替: Arguments above reveal the fact that supporting A brings benefits to…
🧠原因: 太formal, “anticipated prospect”有collocation problem。
-
👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼大大: 寫到呢度，只能祝福大型補習社嘅小朋友唔好信曬，我幫大家改文都仲見到大家有用呢啲.....😰又或者見到有啲未俾人變stock phrases但好高危嘅用法，一句到尾，用前問自己識唔識用啱佢。
回頭是岸呀各位施主。🤪

prospect用法 在 Alexander Wang 王梓沅英文 Facebook 的精選貼文
★ 你還只會用「國中英文單字」說英文、寫英文作文嗎？★
常常有英文程度已經很不錯的人跟我說覺得英文寫作很難。通常診斷這樣的人（如同在面試英文老師般)，我會跟他說「你計時寫一篇英文作文讓我改看看。這樣的人，通常文法會錯很多口說因講話速度快偵查不出的小錯誤、用詞因為缺乏海量collocations （搭配詞）的學習導致很多「中文邏輯/思維湊出的合文法用法」、一句一句間的邏輯關係不夠緊密外，最常見的狀況，也是台灣學生普遍有的現象 (a pervasive/ubiquitous phenomenon) 就是只會用國中英文單字寫作，偶爾跑出一個最近從外語雜誌/新聞背的單字，但 因為缺乏在「有充分語境下的搭配字/用法」學習，而用得生硬無比。下面50個TOEFL/GRE字的用法，全部以這些字常出現的語境而呈現，希望大家能將他們抄下來記下來，這樣的學習，長年累積一定程度會大有增進。
