// When Hong Kong’s kangaroo court was about to hear the Hong Kong 47 case, I gave myself the licence to go on a nail polish shopping spree. I knew I would be depressed just by following the case, and I figured out the more nail colours I had to choose from, the less mental energy I would have left brooding over my native city. I was right. I once came across this Marilyn Monroe meme with the captions “Sometimes I feel really down. But then I remember I have a nice big round ass and I feel happy again.” Replace “nice big round ass” with “beautiful nails,” and I get a good summing up of the wonders of nail therapy. //

// 本地學校的學生一般會被灌輸這個在外國早已過時的概念:作文時,寫的字數要多、用的vocab要深,加上grammar大致無誤,就能拿到高分。符合這些標準的作文,的確能考DSE English時拿到高分,一個在香港讀名校的男生曾跟我說:「我見過的所有拿到Level 5**(最高grade)的DSE英文作文,都寫得很長,有些多達800字,所以雖然考評局書面上說寫大約400字就可以,我也盡量寫到800字。」 //

// 表面上,informative essay不像fictional story,不需要用想像力,只要把一堆facts講述清楚就可以了。但如果平鋪直敘地寫informative essay,要脫穎而出不容易。下面兩篇關於Swimming的informative essays,一篇有用想像力,一篇沒有,高下立見。//

// 我一直相信,教英文寫作最有效方法之一,是老師rewrite學生的文章。因writing tips是需要一個又一個的案例去傳遞,不能只空談,更不能只教one size fits all的formula。

除了rewrite我學生的文章,我也會跟他們分享examples of my rewrite of my writings,讓他們更能體會寫作是如何耗精力,因經驗豐富如我也會在第一稿犯很多錯。要寫好英文,關鍵不是不犯錯,而是有銳利的眼睛看出哪裏出錯,並且有純熟的技巧去改正。//

// 表面上看,寫book summaries好像很容易,不就是把書的內容簡短地說一遍?但把故事講述清楚不是直截了當的事,因要先develop a sense of which part of the plot to leave in, which part to leave out。趁讀書的歲月,用心好好學習如何寫有條有理的book summaries,以後在職場工作,需要寫內容繁複的reports and proposals,就更能得心應手。//

// 最近有個在香港就讀名校的中一學生跟我說:「我突然發覺我同學的英文寫作水平突飛猛進,原來他們都在用ChatGPT!」

我聽到後責怪自己,這個學生我也教了一年多,我居然還沒好好培養他的品味!我完全不認為ChatGPT寫的英文厲害。雖然ChatGPT文法無誤,一些基本的literary techniques (such as alliteration) 也會,但style 和originality方面非常欠缺。//

// 一個在老牌英國公司的Hong Kong office做企業傳訊的朋友跟我說,她的英國人老闆有次問她,“Why do Hong Kong people like to use ‘on the other hand’ so often? Even when the situation doesn’t call for its usage!”

在我的學生中,讀本地學校的學生也經常在沒必要的情況下用“on the other hand”,所以我有理由相信,這個usage的源頭是學校。當學生出來社會工作,看到其他香港人也經常用 “on the other hand”,就會繼續有樣學樣,久而久之就產生那個英國人觀察到的現象。//

// 很多香港學生移民到英國後,做閱讀理解題目感到很吃力,為甚麼?

我的總結是,speaking generally, 香港學校出的英文閱讀理解題目著重問 what (what is the author saying), 外國的英文閱讀理解著重問 how (how does the author achieve this or that effect)。

回答how的題目時,香港學生雖然大部分能identify 作者用的修辭,但point out修辭後,經常難以elaborate下去。還有一點,要在GCSE之類的考試拿高分,就要超越average 學生能給的答案。如果只能identify 修辭和簡單地給examples,是不夠的。

那應怎樣提升學生回答閱讀理解題目的能力?我的經驗是,reading 要跟 writing一齊學,越能think like a writer, 就越能從別人的文字觀察出各種細節,做how類型的閱讀理解題目就自然得心應手。//

// 我素來有搜集examples of good writing的習慣,所以碰到這個優秀的persuasive writing example,就立馬把它存下來:

“ Many years ago, I had a patient comment that the work was “the price of a small car”. I could not disagree. However, that was over 20 years ago, and if it had been a car it no doubt would have gone through several repairs, servicing and most likely have already been replaced with a newer (and more expensive!) one.

However the implants and teeth that were eventually done for this patient are still in place and fully functioning with nothing more than simple cleaning appointments a couple of times per year.

Although I can’t guarantee this will be the same for every single implant/patient, in my experience I’m happy to say that this is quite typical of the majority of implants placed and restored here at VCCID.”//
