If anything, it would be the study of other academic subjects that deprives me of the precious time to enhance my acting skills and transform myself into an all-round actor.

想要一篇寫作範例做參考？以下是 2015 DSE English paper 2 題目 5**答案 要學DSE英文卷二作文，除了學技巧，學評分準則，我們也可以向5**狀元偷師。嘗試去理解他們的作文範例，那麼便會事半功倍。 所以以下會提供 2015 DSE english paper 2 題目 答案 。而全部都是出自5**狀元的手筆！ 2015 DSE English paper 2 Part A A recent article in the Young Post suggested that an 8:00 am start to the school day makes students feel tired and sleepy. Write to the editor of the Young Post expressing your views on the following: why students feel tired; and  whether or not a 9:00 am start will solve the problem. 2015 writing Part A 開首 Dear Editor, 寫信目的 I am writing to express my views on why students often feel tired nowadays. 背景介紹 + 開啟下文 Feeling drowsy at the beginning of any given day, students’ learning efficiency can be severely impaired. As they are future pillars of our society, we should look into this issue carefully for the betterment of the community. 2015 writing Part A 內文 1 標題句 Insufficient sleep may be one of the causes which lead to tiredness of students. 詳細解釋 As the recent article stated, an 8:00 a.m. start to the school day inevitably limits their sleeping hours. It is believed by scientists that a healthy person should sleep for more than eight hours per day. I am certain that most Hong Kong students now cannot meet this standard. They may have countless explanations to this, be it the ceaseless homework distributed by schools, or the extra tutorial exercises. No prizes for guessing, their bodies cannot fully recuperate from the work with the given sleeping time. Thus, they feel tired and sleepy next morning, and the vicious circle continues. 2015 writing Part A 內文 2 相反觀點 + 讓步 Perhaps, a 9:00 a.m. start to the school day may solve the problem seemingly, by extending students’ sleeping hours. 反駁句 Yet, insufficient sleep is only the superficial reason. 詳細解釋 We should not overlook their sleeping quality. No matter how long we sleep, tiredness is still there if the rest is of low quality. As far as I know, many students are constantly worrying about their academic results even during their sleep. Such an anxious mental state has contributed to their poor sleeping quality. Hardly can they recharge their batteries physically and psychologically. Therefore, I believe that the importance attached to academic results in our exam-oriented education system is the culprit why students feel tired frequently. A 9:00 a.m. start to school days may alleviate the problem temporarily, but its effects are minimal. Only by reducing students’ stress can we bring this thorny problem to an end. 2015 writing Part A 結尾 概括上文 With students’ preoccupation with academic pursuit, their deteriorating psychological health is alarming. Should we ignore the fact that blindly pursuing scores and grades makes students tired mentally, their tiredness will persist.  建議 Extensive education reforms may bail students out of this grave situation and I sincerely hope that they can soon get rid of their tiredness and drowsiness, studying energetically and blissfully. 以上就是 2015 DSE English paper 2 題目 Part A的答案，大家不妨學習5**狀元的文筆。那麼，在學習 DSE 英文 writing 時便能有效1000%！ 如果大家有什麼英文問題，如Spencer Lam, 好唔好咁樣學英文呀?

proposal 格式 除了報告 (Report)， 建議書(proposal)是另一款寫作的常見格式，而且它的格式與報告其實十分相似。有見及此，今次小編會為大家指出在書寫建議書時有什麼值得注意的地方及需要留意的得分位、及陷阱位。 DSE Proposal 格式 DSE英文proposal的格式與report相似包括了： 標題以及小標題 通常文章段落分佈是： Introduction（一段），Body（2-3段），Conclusion（1段）三大部分。 Proposal 格式 1. 標題 與報告 （Report） 一樣，大多數時候都要為建議書加上一個合適的標題，所以考生只需要緊貼題目內容，為建議書配上一個簡單易明的標題即可，不建議追求精美及花巧，以免弄巧成拙。 Proposal for ……. Proposal 格式 2. 內容結構 與報告 （Report） 一樣 Introduction Idea 1 Idea 2 Idea 3 Conclusion 適宜把每一個建議清楚分開，再逐個加入詳盡解釋不應把每個建議混為一談。 Proposal 格式 3. 小標題 建議書，顧名思義向某人提出建議以尋求改善問題，所以文章的內容結構應該整潔簡短，不宜出現“長氣”的情況，在proposal 格式 上，各位都可以善用小標題。例如： Introduction Backgrounds Recommendations  Conclusions DSE Proposal 寫作技巧 1. proposal 引言 Step 1: 背景 In hopes of addressing/ alleviating the recent issue of X, As part of our school’s recent initiative to encourage more students to read, • In anticipation of / in advance of the launch of X, Step 2: 目的 [解釋] This proposal aims / seeks / strives to (努力) explain in detail the 名詞 [介紹] This proposal outlines / sets out / provides a blueprint that 句子 • The primary / main / central aim of this proposal is to show / illustrate / adumbrate (預示) our vision for名詞 Step 3: 過渡 We will, first of all, cover the core design, before then considering, both the budget and the parties involved [Level 4] Included within this proposal is an in-depth walkthrough of our project execution plan, our budget, and our timeline for implementation.

Speech 格式 不知不覺，我們已經來到了英文卷二卷三常見實用文寫作格式。 今期筆者將為大家分享另一個實用文格式 – speech 格式 。 至於如何可以成功寫作一篇好的演講辭，贏得所有marker的歡心？  筆者就立刻為大家介紹寫作技巧及 speech 格式 的注意事項。 DSE Speech speech是一種涉及與聽眾交談或進行演示的交流。 總統講話是演講的一個例子。 不過 DSE English paper 2/paper 3 不會那麼嚴肅的！ 但DSE英文卷二卷三已經較少表明要求學生寫speech，反而會轉另一字， 例如：announcement in morning assembly。 學生們要感受到DSE想大家寫類近speech的文體。 當然DSE對 Speech 格式 都有少少要求， 這個在其後向大家展示！ Writing Speech 格式 speech 格式 Good morning principal, teachers and fellow students, 視乎有咩人起度 opening 內文 (points) ending Thank you Speech 格式 千篇一律，基本上都是一樣的(debate speech 格式 會在這個基礎上增加一些格式條件)，所以只要緊記格式就不需要另作改變，更不要另外自行創作！！！ DSE English Speech 寫作技巧 1. Speech 引言 Step 1: 打招呼 Good morning Principal, teachers and my fellow schoolmates, Step 2: 表明身份 (視乎情況，有時候不需要) As __________________ , I am honoured to extend a warm welcome to you all. I would like to share with you about 名詞. Step 3: 進入主題 Without further ado (廢話少數), let’s dive right into it. In today’s speech, I’d like to highlight 3 major points, including A, B and C. 2. Speech 內文 Step 1 主題句  Step 2 RICE  如何把內容寫的飽滿？ R – Reasons I – Impact C – Compare E – Examples 透過這4個嚮導， 大家便可以提升內容全面性。 不過， 你還需要speech的獨特搶分位…… Step 3: 搶分位 1. 問5** 問題 If we violate school rules, we will receive punishment like staying after school while teachers meet our parents. Do you want to spend your precious time  staying in a vacant classroom to wait for the end of your punishment or playing basketball happily with your friends on the basketball court (情景)? It is important for us to follow the school rules in order to have an enjoyable school life.  其他問問題方法： Have you wondered why 句子?  What would you do if you were me? 2. 代入角色 Level 5 ** As a former student at ABC College, I’m quite sure you haven’t pondered over these benefits but I think we will be more confident and when gaining peer recognition and acceptance, won’t we? 其他句式： I bet all of you share a similar experience. At this point, you probably wonder 名詞 You may wonder why 句子 3. 畫面大法 + (排比句) Level 5*:  Our school doesn’t allow using mobile phones during lessons. Following the school rules can lead us to success. Imagine when you are concentrating in class, some annoying sound from a mobile phone distracts you. You can imagine the joy of hanging out with friends; you can imagine the joy of working hard together; you can imagine the joy of achieving common goals.  Level 5** Step 1: Picture this scene: a group of naughty students are eating when the teacher is talking; some classmates are using their phones while others are conducting an experiment in the laboratory; several boys are using foul languages when chatting. What do you think? Would  you like to study in such a school? Do you want your schoolmates to be one of them?   Step 2: Great, I see that many of you are shaking your heads. 短句 Just go for it! Stay tuned!  Don’t waver. Step 4: 總結句 As you can see, 句子 To wrap up, 句子 3. Speech 結論 Step 1: In a nutshell, 句子 Step 2: the motion must （not） stand DSE Writing Speech 3大原則 1. 語境意識 相信大家都不會陌生了，又是我們的老朋友 – 語境意識。 由於是演講辭，一般而言它的作用在於向一群聽眾發表演說，所以它所採取的為informal的格式，不會在用詞或寫作上過份認真和深究。 可以說，它其中的一個目的報求令到演講者能夠成功傳達訊息外，聽眾也不會睡著。
