破題詳解
practice paper Q16
What does the expression “pointing the finger at” mean in line 114? (PPQ16)
好多同學以為要靠估🤔，靠咁睇條問題同option，但答案隱身咗係邊呢？🧐🧐🧐
正確嘅做法 (三個step)：
1 | 閱讀前後一兩句，留意作者的觀點是正面還是負面 |
2 | 因為上下文意思應該一致，所以如果作者的觀點是正面，字詞或片語應該是褒義；如果作者的觀點是負面，應該是貶義。 |
3 | 留意前後配詞😏 |
原文：😁
P10: …The degree of confinement is extreme, for no tank, no matter how large, can come close to meeting the needs of animals (負面)… keeping a six-tonne whale in Sea World’s tanks as akin to keeping a human in a bathtub for his entire life (負面)
P11: If we are pointing the finger at Sea World…
依家睇睇答案：😎
- to look at an issue closely (中性)
- to put the blame on someone (負面) (正確答案)
- to address someone rudely (負面)
- to query someone or something (?)
refer 題目
2018Q5 題目：
What does “that” (line 5) refer to? (2018Q5)
好多同學覺得要參透作者啲思緒，(依家睇佛經咩？)，甚至求其抄個答案🤷🏻
究竟答案隱身咗係邊呢？🧐🧐🧐
正確嘅三大步驟 (step by step)：
1. 向前搵 | · 大多數題目在代名詞同一句或前1-2句找答案 · 少部份艱深的題目、文學篇章的題目，要在代名詞後面找答案 |
2.代名詞特徵
| 今次係that XXXX 有機會係句子 |
3. 代入法 | 留意意思是否合理 留意grammar/配詞是否正確 |
睇睇原文：
Many of these people argue that background music helps them focus. When you think about it, that doesn’t make much sense.
試試代入去睇吓點？😉
When you think about it, (background music helps them focus) doesn’t make much sense.
意思合理、答案合理，OK
小心完整性
填充題
2014Q70 題目：
It can also be ____ seen that more and more youths are ____ by fame every year. (2014Q70)
點做呢？
以下係確實嘅步驟
- 運用不同詞性在句子的位置，先估計答案所需的詞性。
- 比較文章和題目，找出重覆字眼和同義字，在附近的行數找答案
- 比較文章和題目，找出相同詞語的變體。
- 答案文法一定要正確 🧠
- 盡量從原文找字源，易中marking🤩
第一個答案應該係 (adv.)
第二個答案應該係 (v.) 不過係被動式
飛翻原文睇睇🧐
We can also see just as clearly that each as year passes a greater and greater proportion of the Western world’s youth is ………dazzled by that delusion.
See 係 seen 啲變體🤩
Greater and greater 係 more and more 嘅變體🤩
Youth 就 直情照抄😮
答案大概係到
第一個要揀adv. 就好有可能係 clearly😘
第二個要揀v. 就應該係 dazzled😲
而今次好好彩文法係正確嘅，咁就唔洗再加工
此部分題型DSE考多了，同時考核Grammar 及意思 ，要留意Spencer sir 的口訣 GMT過三關
建議多做UE Section C (2008-2010) 及DSE (2018-2020)
Why 題目
2018Q15 題目：
Explain why playing only one type of music in a classroom would “end up with mixed results” (line 34).
有好多同學一見到‘why’就會驚，然後棄權
以下有確實嘅做題目流程😎
大家試吓搵吓一啲講原因嘅句子啊‼️
例如
With…, SVO，Given…, SVO等等
原文：🧐
Given the extreme variation in musical preferences from person to person, exposing a classroom to a single type of music would obviously end up with mixed results.
GIVEN A, B👈
問點解會有B⁉️ 咪就係A咯😤
答案：
The extreme variation in musical preferences
相信咁揀總好過，亂撞/飛咗佢啊
同義詞、反義詞 題目
以下係確實嘅答案準則😎
- 詞性必須相同
詞性可以靠字首和字尾推斷🧐
例如：
Adjectives:
ed | ing | ful | ous | less |
Nouns:
s | cy | sy | ty |
y | age | al | ial |
an | ian (人) | ate | dom |
- Verb form相同
- 題目有s 答案有s
- 題目ing 答案有ing
- 題目past tense
答案past tense
- 題目p. 答案p.p.
- 名詞單眾數相同
題目有s 答案有s
- Phrase要詞性對稱
題目adj. + n.
答案 adj. + n.
- 意思配合
仲有！有時起題目到都有字數嘅提示
Words | =1 |
Phrases | > 1 |
Expressions | > 1 |
6. 意思配合 (最後對返意思, 先用中文，再試用小學英文翻譯一次，看看有無錯)
比較題
問題：
Which … would you choose?
Can board games compete with computer games? Give one reason to support each point of view. (2012Q20)
(Yes/No都要答)
攻略：
找出滿足最多要求的最佳選擇
盡量從文章找答案，難的題目要自己分析答案
必需用完整句子，留心文法
Yes: Board games are more interactive and you can play with a group of friends.
No: Board games are old-fashioned and inconvenient.
給原因、解釋
問題：
Give a reason
Explain
What is the purpose / aim …?
攻略：
比較文章和題目，找出重覆的關鍵字，在附近的行數找答案，留意分數，例如2分2個重點
留意標題句和總結句
留意reason, because, due to, with, to, through, by, which, so字眼
留意序數詞(first, second, last.)和連接詞 (and, besides, moreover, also, even, not just … but to, not only … but, then)
英文reading字眼暗示
2017 PP
1.n. echo + n. (附和)
Echo⁉️回音❓
有時佢可以解附和! 呢啲字就可以睇到人物嘅立場，對答reading題目好有幫助😉
The journalist echoed the scholar’s view, arging that the Spanish government should not crackdown on the Catalans supporting independence.
2.n. might have + p.p.
(本來可能 –> 但實質沒有實現)
有陣時reading答案就係收埋起呢啲詞語到，其實咁講已經係代表無實質做過😮
He might have been successful if he had had strong willpower.
3.otherwise + adj.
(在其他方面…的)
Otherwise 除咗可以解否則，都可以咁解😏
Swindlers often take advantage of our greed and deceive otherwise intelligent and knowledgeable people.
