The society is currently organising its annual Visual Media Festival, which will take place in June. Mr Ringo Chow has asked you to do some tasks. 你是Nico Lin (考評局真係好鍾意Nico Lin)。你是校際視覺媒體協會的秘書。您協助您學校的視聽老師兼校際視覺媒體協會副主席 Ringo Chow 先生。該協會目前正在組織其一年一度的視覺媒體節，該節將於 6 月舉行。 Ringo Chow 先生讓你做一些任務。 那麼這一次就看看5**狀元當年Task 8 同 Task 9 到底寫了什麼？ 你可以視今次的5**真跡為 2019 DSE 卷三的題目 答案 2019 dse english paper 3題目 (Task 8) Task 8: Report on Brighthouse Cinema  (18 marks) Write the report on Brighthouse Cinema using information from the B2 Data File and your notes. Write around 180 words. 2019 英文卷三 5** 答案 Report on Brighthouse Cinema in Sha Tak for the Screening of “The Electronic Durian” Introduction The purpose of this report is to illustrate the reason why Brighthouse Cinema is an unsuitable venue for the screening of “The Electronic Durian” on 19e June (Wednesday). 【目的】  The details regarding facilities and hygienic concerns of the venue are discussed as follows. 【引出下文】   Our requirements The facilities of Brighthouse Cinema fail to meet our requirements in certain aspects. One of the major concerns is the unavailability of ramps for wheelchairs. Ms Isabel Luna, our director who mobilizes in a wheelchair due to a skateboard accident, needs access onto the stage for a post-screening discussion. Brighthouse Cinema，however, is not equipped with wheelchair access onto the stage, creating inconvenience for our guests. Apart from wheelchair access, we plan to offer noodles to the audience to eat during screening for the full experience. The fact that Brighthouse Cinema does not allow outside food diminishes the key fun element of the screening.  Availability of staff According to our plan, at least ten ushers are required to distribute 3D headsets to the audience before the screening. Nonetheless, only four ushers could be provided by the cinema. This further proves that Brighthouse Cinema is undesirable fore. Hygienic & Safety concern It is revealed that Brighthouse Cinema failed the governed hygiene inspection in 2016, and it remained unlicensed for one year. According to Cross-department Regulations for Cinema issued by the government, it is clearly stated that cinemas should be cleaned once a day while the emergency exit signs should be in both English and Chinese. Yet, Brighthouse Cinema is cleaned only once every two days, whereas their emergency exit signs are in English only. Conclusion It is manifest that Brighthouse Cinema is unsuitable and undesirable for our screening given that it fails to meet our requirements while the cleanliness of the cinema is doubtful. 【總結】  In order to provide our audience with the best screening experience, reselecting another venue is preferred. 【結論/ DF要求】 2019 dse english paper 3題目 (Task 9) Task 9: Text for programme (17 marks) Write a short text for “The Electronic Durian’ for the page of the Visual Media Festival programme below using information from the

Your boss, Angel Fu, has asked you to do some tasks 你是Sammy Tsang。你在香港一家名為 Griffin Workshop 的棋盤遊戲公司工作。這是一些朋友成立的小公司。它現在正在開發其最新的棋盤遊戲 Escape to Hong Kong Island。你的老闆，Angel Fu，讓你做一些任務。 那麼這一次就看看5**狀元當年Task 8 同 Task 9 到底寫了什麼？ 你可以視今次的5**真跡為 2018 DSE 卷三的題目 答案 免費試堂 2018 dse english paper 3答案 (Task 8) 題目 Task 8: Funding report (22 marks) Write a funding report on Escape to Hong Kong Island for the company meeting using information from the B2 Data File and your notes. Write around 220 words. 2018 英文卷三 5** 答案 Report on Funding Options for Escape to Hong Kong Island Introduction This reports investigates the pros and cons of the two funding options for our new game Escape to Hong Kong Island, namely Gamezstart and the Acorn Grant Findings Gamestart For the advantages, first and foremost, we can advertise our game on its website, which is the most well known funding website for board games companies. As it is both online and global, we can attract investors anywhere in the world to invest in our game. More importantly, this option is ultimately flexible as we can set the target amount of money we need to raise for our game. All these allow us to receive funding to continue developing our game. As for the disadvantages, firstly, by the time we have finished developing the game, we should send one copy of the game to each investor. As our game may be heavy, international shipping may also be expensive, eventually consuming most of the money raised. Prohibitive shipping costs aside, our funding project may also be ignored by investors if big well-known companies launch projects at Gamezstart at the same time. This may culminate in the scenario that we may have to abandon the project given that we cannot meet our target. Acorn Grant With regard to the upsides, the grant offers a one-time award of HK$25000 with no strings attached, without any other conditions required. Moreover, Melaka Bank, the organizer of the grant, will provide sound financial advice and advertising wizardry. In addition, the bank will also assist us for one year after winning the award. In view of its downsides, our company may lose autonomy to the bank as it has been said the bank may control everything of the company it sponsors. Besides, competition for the grant is fierce and therefore, there is only a small chance to win the award. In year 2016, there were 287 applicants but there was only one winner. All those disadvantages may limit our development. Conclusion It is hoped that the best funding option can be found given the above analysis of the advantages and disadvantages. 免費試堂 2018 dse english paper 3答案 (Task 9) 題目 Task 9: Email (13 marks)
