英文Paper 3是最高比重的分卷（30%），因此是影響同學在英文科DSE最終成績的一個關鍵。 要在英文科DSE聆聽卷中取得佳績，因為DSE在歷屆Past Paper中曾出現不同的英語口音和速度，同學需要適應較陌生的英語口音和較快的語速。 以下是一些方法可以幫助同學提高英文聆聽能力: 聆聽英文Podcast 聆聽英文Podcast是提高英文聽力的好方法，不僅可以幫助你熟悉不同的英語口音，還可以學習到各種不同的詞彙和語法結構。 我特別推薦同學嘗試收聽BBC 6 Minutes English，因為當中的內容和主題較接近DSE考卷的內容，例如有一期的內容提到旅遊文化，正正有關2023年DSE聆聽分卷的內容。 此外，6 Minutes English的口音和速度都較接近英文科的DSE考卷。 同學亦可以選擇自己感興趣的主題，如新聞、文化、音樂、體育等，聆聽相關的節目。 觀看英文電影和電視劇 觀看英文電影和電視劇可以幫助同學培養聽英文的語感，同時也能提高同學的的英文聽力，同學可以觀看例如Netflix 和Disney +等平台，提供大量的英文電影和電視劇， 例如<Stranger Things>中可以接觸到美式的英語口音，可以讓同學接觸地道的英語。 同學觀看時，可以先關閉字幕，嘗試理解對話的內容。如果能力較弱的同學在理解過程中有困難，可以開啟字幕查看對白，以便理解對白的內容，從中擴闊自己的詞𢑥量。 同學謹記不要開啟中文字幕，否則很大機會因專注於中文字幕而無助於學英文。 聽英文歌曲 聽英文歌曲是同學提高英文聽力的另一種方法，現在的音樂串流平台五花八門，包括Spotify、Apple Music和Youtube Music，同學可以聆聽自己喜歡的歌曲， 同時閱讀歌詞，以幫助你理解歌曲中的單詞和短語，亦可以理解歌詞背後的寓意， 例如<What a Wonderful World>的歌詞寓意世界和平的美好，同學借此可以增加同學對英語的熟悉度，同時還可以擴闊同學的詞彙和語法結構。 聽英語廣告 DSE的聆聽分卷偶然會出現有關商業的語景，英語廣告會出現有關詞𢑥，能有助同學擴闊相關的詞彙。 此外，英語廣告通常使用簡單的詞彙和語法結構，對能力較弱的同學提高英文聆聽能力非常有幫助。 你可以聆聽廣告理解內容，同學可以留意廣告中使用的詞彙和語言用法， 例如Apple的廣告口號”Think different”可以解作「不同凡響」，因此同學在日常生活中可以多加留意不同的英文廣告，從而能有助提升同學的語感。 Bonus：HKCEE/HKALE 最後送一個Bonus給各位同學，能幫助同學針對性地預備DSE： 舊制的HKCEE/HKALE聆聽錄音同樣有不同英語口音以及貼近DSE的語速，同學可以了解自己實戰認對考試時的聆聽表現。 同樣可以培養同學聆聽英語的語感以及適應考試錄音的語速，以提升同學認對考試的答題命中率。 聆聽訓練 總結 總括而言，要提高英文聆聽能力，可以透過過聆聽Podcast、觀看英文電影、聽英語歌曲等方式來培養聆聽英文的語感。 同時，HKCEE考卷亦是珍貴的學習資源，只要善用以上方法培養聆聽英文的語感，將能有助同學在DSE英文科中升grade。 如果大家有什麼英文問題，如Spencer Lam, 好唔好咁樣學英文呀? 或者IELTS考試，成人英文/商業英文的知識及英文資源，歡迎你可以隨時再跟我多交流一下，可以Follow 「Spencer Lam English Team」 Facebook page同IG得到更多英文資訊，亦都可以上 https://spencerlam.hk/ 了解更多!

2023 DSE English Paper 1 2023 DSE 如期開考，打頭陣的正式英文科。 下文整合了是次考試的試題，希望能提供即時資訊予現屆及未來考生。 *題目或經修改，並非100%與正式試題相同，以下內容只作教育及參考用途。 Part A Flash Fiction: Writing a Story in 1,000 Words or Less 1 [1] People have been enjoying stories for as long as humanity has been around. Some people love to read 400-page novels, while others struggle to read the first four paragraphs. More and more, technology has unfortunately resulted in many people having shorter attention spans. Therefore, writers have to find new ways to tell stories in a way that appeals to people who are used to reading snippets of information on the small screen of their smart 5 phones. Flash fiction is a medium that works perfectly in a low-attention-span world. What is Flash Fiction? [2] Flash fiction is a category of short story that limits the author to a word count of 1,000 words or less. Some magazines limit flash fiction stories to as little as 300 words. How to Write Flash Fiction 10         [3] Following the tips below will guide you in writing a solid flash fiction story. Focus on One Character [4] With a limit of 1,000 words, there isn’t a lot of room for character development, so you’ll want to pick one character to focus on. There will likely be two characters in the story because you’ll often use a human antagonist as opposition to your main character. You might be able to use three characters, but any more than that will 15 probably be overkill in the realm of flash fiction. Focus on One Scene [5] Longer story forms have a beginning, middle, and end, but with flash fiction, you’re really telling only the end of a story. Of course, you won’t be able to flesh out a complex story world. Instead, your flash fiction story should focus on one scene, one moment in the life of your character. It needs to be a significant, life-altering moment for 20 your character. Focusing on one scene also means focusing on one location. So for flash fiction your limited word count focuses on the essentials to the story. Focus on One Conflict [6] All stories are about conflict. A story can be easily defined as a character who wants or needs something and has to overcome some obstacle in order to attain it. The obstacle is the conflict. You have to answer two very 25 important questions to write a really good flash fiction story: What does your main character want? Who or what is trying to stop your main character from getting it? Focus on One Theme [7] Your theme is the moral argument of your story. It’s about how you want your readers to be impacted by the 30 What do you want them to be encouraged to do, be, or believe as a result of reading your story? Focus on Word Choice [8] You only have up to 1,000 words to tell your story, so you have to choose those words wisely. When you know what actions and ideas you want to

2023 DSE English Paper 2  2023 DSE 如期開考，打頭陣的正式英文科。 下文整合了是次考試的試題，希望能提供即時資訊予現屆及未來考生。 *題目或經修改，並非100%與正式試題相同，以下內容只作教育及參考用途。 Spencer Sir 總評 英文作文科，分為必答部份短文寫作及長文寫作，長文寫作可以從不同題目中揀選一題作答。今年必答題的部份比較困難，題目創新，與以往不同，相反長文寫作只要同學有準備，並熟讀題目，理應不難作答。   「單數年」的文憑試英文科出題會比較難，考生如熟讀Past Paper應該都了解這個傾向，特別在Part A必答寫作部分出題比較難，而且環保的主題出題方式新穎，第一次出申請表，為了考核同學對於對象及身份的認識。   而今次出卷的主題是環保，亦是過去超過10年文憑試題目當中，非常冷門的主題。以往的必答寫作都是以年青人及學校為主，考核重點是有沒有留意時事新聞，例如新年年宵，或者社交平台網紅舉辦的活動，出題方向曾不只局限於學校，還有學生的課外活動或者以時事為主   至於長文寫作部份，一如既往都是考核學生對於年青人、科技及潮流文化的了解。如果想取得高分，必須要有深度的分析，例如年青人現在工作不只是為了金錢，是為了內在動力 (intrinsic motivation -心理學的著名的概念)，又或者可以多談及因為新冠肺炎疫情而出現大辭職潮/ You only live once (YOLO)   Spencer老師建議考生應該多留意外國雜誌，了解外國傾向，作為同學作文時的例子，並非只靠貼題，而是要貼答案，這些將成為考生能否取高分的秘密武器 (即是Secret Examples)，而這些新聞及重點將會是未來出題的方向，例如英國、美國和新加坡最近流行的議題及時事，亦正正成為今年出題的核心關鍵。 Part A （必答部分） Question 1 (200 words) You are an employee for Nature Smart, a company selling eco-friendly goods. Your team wants to bid for a pop-up space in a shopping mall for 5 months for the purpose of promotion. Complete the form – Company Profile (introduction) : Bestseller (outline a product that your consumers love) : Promotional Events (describe a marketing event that will be held in store to bring customers) : Spencer Sir 獨家點評 今年題目偏門，明顯想考核同學對公司及Workplace的了解，與過往大多考核學校的主題不同。同學仔要對公司的方針，例如: Vision (公司願景) / ESG / 公司不同部門 (PR Department/Marketing Department) 有一定認識。   而且對例子及內容要求亦比以往的要求更高，例如你可以舉例以打卡方式 (hashtag challenge)進行推廣，產品可以是Reusable Water Bottle (high-quality, BPA-free materials and designed to be durable, leak-proof)，沒有標準答案，但需要學生的創意，如果只死背深字深句只會得到中品的分數。   至於活動方面，同學可以寫product demonstrations, workshops, and talks by experts   可以參考的寫作方向:   公司介紹：簡要介紹 Planet Smart，包括其使命、價值觀和產品。 暢銷產品：描述 Planet Smart 的暢銷產品，包括其獨特的賣點以及它如何與公司促進生態友好的使命保持一致。 店內活動：提供 Planet Smart 計劃在店內舉辦的任何活動或活動的詳細信息，以促進生態友好。 聯繫信息：要求提供申請人的聯繫信息，包括姓名、電話號碼、電子郵件地址以及指向其網站或社交媒體平台的任何相關鏈接。 參考答案 1 Company Profile (introduction) :As a representative of Planet Smart, a company committed to advancing sustainability and environmental awareness, it is my privilege to introduce our brand and outline our plans for a three-month pop-up shop.Planet Smart was founded with the goal of promoting the use of eco-friendly products and reducing our carbon footprint.

Should the school have a vegetarian diet? Will people eat less meat in the future? Anything else you think is important Suggested answers Why is plant-based meat popular? Plant-based meat is becoming increasingly popular because it addresses environmental concerns. Traditional meat production is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, and water pollution. Plant-based meat, on the other hand, requires fewer resources to produce and has a lower carbon footprint. For example, Beyond Meat claims that its products use 99% less water, 93% less land, and generate 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than beef. Furthermore, a recent study by the University of Michigan found that producing a Beyond Burger requires 99% less water, and 93% less land, and generates 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than a quarter-pound beef burger. As people become more conscious of the environmental impact of their food choices, plant-based meat is increasingly seen as a viable and sustainable alternative to traditional meat products. 免費試堂 Should the school have a vegetarian diet? Stance: Yes In my opinion, schools should have a vegetarian diet. The reason for this is that it promotes a healthier lifestyle and has a positive impact on the environment. A vegetarian diet is rich in nutrients, vitamins, and fibre, which are essential for a growing child’s body. Vegetarian meals also tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, reducing the risk of obesity and related health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Furthermore, vegetarianism is an environmentally conscious way of living. Animal agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. Choosing a vegetarian diet helps reduce these harmful effects and promotes sustainable living. For example, schools that have implemented a vegetarian diet have reported improvements in students’ health and academic performance. The Redwood City School District in California has a successful vegetarian program, which has received positive feedback from parents and students alike. In summary, a vegetarian diet in schools is not only beneficial for students’ health but also promotes environmental sustainability. It’s a win-win situation that schools should consider implementing for the betterment of their students and the planet. Stance: No I believe that schools should not have a strictly vegetarian diet. While I understand the health benefits of a plant-based diet, it is important for schools to provide a variety of food options to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences. For instance, some students may have specific dietary requirements due to medical conditions or religious beliefs. For example, some students may need to consume animal protein to maintain a healthy diet due to iron deficiency, while others may not consume certain types of plant-based proteins due to allergies or sensitivities. Furthermore, a vegetarian-only menu may limit the cultural diversity of the school’s food offerings. Many cultures have traditional dishes that include meat or animal products as important ingredients. By
