My hometown is in Hong Kong. It’s located in the south of China. It’s renowned around the globe for its hybrid culture and its status as an international financial hub.
Is there much to do in your hometown?
Yes, there’s certainly a lot to do there as it’s a metropolitan area. If you like hanging out in the evening, there are a variety of top-notch restaurants and pubs. If you want to enjoy the nature, you shall definitely visit the breathtakingbeaches on the outlying islands.
5分的答案: Yes, I always have to work with a lot of people from different departments in my company. I like working with people.
7分的答案: Oh yes, all the time. My office is a big one and we all have to work as a team if we want to achieve results. (提供背景資料: 辦公室情況) I have lots of colleagues I need to liaise with, such as the frontline relationship managers as well as IT programmers. (舉例) And of course, (linking words) I have to deal with our clients sometimes.
上一篇 提到,如果本身英文水準一般,即場發揮容易失準。 迅狐建議,準備一些 百搭的「罐頭答案」 吧。不論問題是什麼,都可以隨手開個罐頭,套入去答,再加些 native speakers常用的linking words ,那就perfect了 。 「罐頭答案」可以關於喜歡的地方、書、電影、敬愛的人、難忘的往事、生活群組等。構思時,嘗試套入最少3個topic答都答到。示範一下: 例一、罐頭答案(生活群組): (Hongkongers) might seem like too busy to socalise as they are living among the hustle and bustle of the city . But if you get to know them, you’ll find most of them are actually pretty friendly and helpful. 基本上,只要題目涉及「生活群組」,就可以融入(自行微調啦) Relevant topics: [Hometown] What are the people like in your hometown? [Friend]: Do you think it is easy to make friends in your city? [Neighbours]: Are neighbours usually close to each other in your country? [Work]: Do you get on well with your colleagues? 例二、罐頭答案(book/moive) 迅狐 建議選一個既有書又有拍電影/電視劇的,e.g. Harry Potter, the Lord of Rings, a Game of Thrones I’m really fond of reading (watching movies). Harry Potter is my all-time favourite . It’s a (a movie b...
IELTS雅思的寫作部分(Writing)要求考生在1小時內完成2個tasks。 Writing Task 1俗稱「小作文」,顧名思義,是因為字數(150–200字)、佔分(33.3%)及用時(15–20min)較少。 相對上,Writing Task 2則俗稱「大作文」,字數(250–300字)、佔分(66.7%)及用時(40–45min)較多。 大家報IELTS時,分為學術(Academic)和通用(General Training)兩類。一般而言,申請到外地升學的朋友,會報考Academic;申請移民到英語國家(澳洲、加拿大)的人,會報考General Training。 兩類考試內容非常接近,只是讀寫兩部分有些差異。當中最大分別,就是「小作文」Writing Task 1。 Task 1佔分 33.3%,建議分4段,寫150–200 字,用不多於15–20 min。計分方面,Task Achievement(內容)、Coherence & Cohesion(組織)、Grammar(文法)、Vocab(詞彙)四項各佔25%。可見,由於IELTS是語文試,最重要的不是what you are going to say,it’s more about how you say it。 Source: British Council Academic考圖表分析(e.g. bar chart、pie chart、line graph、table、map和diagram等)。 General Training則考書信寫作(e.g. 投訴信、申請信、推薦信、予以建議/指示/要求的信)。 以下是一道Academic Writing Task 1的題目: Source: British Council Source: British Council 面對Academic Writing Task 1小作文的圖表分析題目, 迅狐 建議用 4段式寫作:Intro + Overview + Point 1 + Point 2 (不用Conclusion,因為與Overview重疊) 1.

無論是IELTS/ DSE/ GMAT/ GRE/ TOFEL的英文作文部分, 迅狐 認為,靈活利用多元化英文句型,是最有用的特分技巧之一。 因為,如果只用深奧的vocab,但句型卻只能用上最簡單的Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O) structure,就像一套破舊西裝上面,襯上亮麗的領呔,考官會覺得很awkward。 迅狐 建議,可以利用以下5種特別句型顯示grammar功架(可以準備checklist逐個tick,make sure自己盡用5種句型): 1. Passive voice (被動式) 例句一、Such measures should be quickly adopted to… (= The government should quickly adopt such measures to …) 例句二、 Such problems could be tackled by … (= We can tackle such problems by…) 2. Relative clause : 例句一、The authorities should adopt these measures. These measures can help… → The authorities should adopt these measures which can help… 例句二、The authorities should adopt these measures. Under these measures , citizens can… → The authorities should adopt these measures under which citizens can… 3. Conditionals (If — then): Type 0 (真理): If water reaches 100 °C, it...
