DSE 2017 writing (english paper 2)答案 今次我們來看看DSE 2017 English Paper 2 sample 如果你想知道： 如何在當年拿到高分 什麼是marker心中的星星生字句子 你就一定要讀到最後！ DSE 2017 Writing Q1 題目 You are the chairperson of the Social Service Club in your school. The school would like to develop closer links with the community. Write a letter to your principal, Ms Lee, proposing a new community project that the school can carry out with a home for the elderly in your district. In your letter persuade your principal to accept your project by (i) describing one activity that could be carried out, and (ii) identifying the benefits for the elderly home. Sign your letter Chris Wong. DSE 2017 Writing Q1 5** 答案 Dear Principal, 引言 介紹 1.        寫作目的 I am writing on behalf of the Social Service Club to propose a new community project helping an elderly home in our neighbourhood, which ties in with the school’s goal – to develop closer bonds with the community. The details are as follows: 內文一 活動介紹 1.        標題句 The proposed project aims to provide an opportunity for students to interact with and understand the nursing home. 2.        建議原因 There are dozens of elderly people residing in the nursing home and it is our conviction that more frequent interaction with these dwellers is the key to building up bonds with them. 內文二 1.        標題句 It is recommended that the concert should be held in a weekday afternoon. 2.        建議原因 The elderly will be the audience and students will be the performers The performance will include songs from the 1960s and the 1970s, like “Below the Lion Rock” and “The Moon Represents My Heart”, which most senior citizens are familiar with. As our school is one of the top schools in terms of musical talents, with numerous champions of the Inter-school Music Festival, it will not be a burden for students to rehearse and play the melodies vividly in front of the elderly.During the concert, the senior citizens will be encouraged to sing these famous songs together and I am convinced that they will form the warmest resonance, which will be a symphony across generations. 內文三 1.        標題句 It is worth noting that the meaningful mini-concert will provide the elderly with warmth and energizethem. 2.        背景 The senior citizens living in elderly homes are usually those whose families cannot take care of them during the day. What lack most is warmth and energy. 3.        詳細解釋論點 Our students possess these invaluable qualities that can benefit them. The genre of songs chosen, as illustrated above, is of their generation’s taste, potentially triggering their collective memories of their youth days. I believe not only can they realize our warmth and hospitality with the choice of songs, but they can immerse themselves in the merriment of music. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the memory that our students and elderly people can share together. On one hand, our students can have deeper understanding of the community. On the other hand, the aged can draw a colourful page in their monotonous lives after retirement.

You know, tutorial schools are very skilful at. Tutors can help students get good exam results. The reason is that they employ high-quality tutors, who are extremely familiar with the public exam systems. They can teach students useful exam skills. Opposite view: You may think that it is not a healthy phenomenon if we put too much emphasis on exam results. Concession: Well, this is quite true. I agree that we need time to participate in extra-curricular activities in order to unleash our potential. Rebuttal: However, as students, we should care about our studies.
