// 我經常推薦已經在外國讀書的香港學生看名為“EO” (Entrepreneurship Opportunities) 的 YouTube channel。該頻道經常採訪一些在tech sector成功創業的擁有亞洲面孔人士，他們不單有視野有智謀有技術，他們的English communication skills也非常棒。我希望學生通過他們體會到，在外國，好的 communication skills 對career 有錦上添花的作用。//

// 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.”//

// 時事評論員章天亮最近提到，神韻藝術團有幾個舞蹈員被常春藤大學錄取，因這個級別的大學看重具有特殊人生經歷的申請人，而且有意志力把古典舞學到表演水平的人，也應有足夠的意志力把別的學科學好。
章先生的觀點讓我想到，前紐約市芭蕾舞團的Soloist Kathryn Morgan也曾指出，”dancers do so well even when they stop. I mean, I have three people in my School of American Ballet class getting to Harvard.” School of American Ballet是美國頂尖舞蹈學府，能考進去的都是high achievers, 所以即使畢業後不從事舞蹈，“it’s, you know, so yeah, I felt like I had to still achieve something.”
以上怎樣考進一流大學的看法，跟大部分華人家長不一樣，最重要不是考試分數要高嗎？ //
