If so, what are you waiting for? Sign in and join us !!! 例如在文末加上這些文字可以令人感覺有跟隨文章的語境意識走向，而非單純即興創作☠️。 技巧2: 開玩笑​ 相信每一個人都有試過在背好多深字深句，但寫作好像沒有進步過。 那麼如何避免這種情況發生在改卷老師身上，令自己的分數被扣減呢？ 答案就是開玩笑。 在文章裏頭適當地加入一些小幽默可以令到文章更加生動與讀者產生互動。 例子:I guess no one hates sleeping in class, right? 技巧3:善用問題​ 各位同學、各位考生必須要清楚一件事，文章（Article）以專業性而言並不強， 因此在寫作文章時如何能夠成功地吸引讀者注意， 並且有意閱讀你所寫作的文章便成為了其中一個重點。 在試卷中能夠靈活使用問題，吸引改卷老師的注意， 令他成為一名「讀者」， 對你的文章感興趣便是一個得分重點。 e. g.Have you ever wondered … ?Do you know … ?Have you heard of … ? 技巧4:爆秘密​ 告訴讀者你要「爆秘密」，以此吸引讀者！ e. g.What are the secrets behind the free collection? you may wonder why / what are the secrets behind? 技巧5:留意角色​ 一般而言，文章的用途十分廣泛，所以題目大多都會安排相關的角色給予同學或考生. 同學在答卷時必須打醒十二分精神，清楚留意自己現在所扮演的角色而進行寫作; 否則可能有離題的嫌疑。 免費試堂 DSE article sample Feature article 範文 以下是DSE feature article example，出自2020 DSE English Paper 2 5** 滿分42/42 Article 真跡 2020 writing article 部分一 Hailed as a culinary paradise, Hong Kong is home to an elastic range of cuisines.

DSE 2017 writing (english paper 2)答案 今次我們來看看DSE 2017 Part B Q8 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 卷二寫作 答案 題目 Sports Communication – Article for School Magazine on Dancers Learning English through Sports Communication Unlike swimmers or basketball players, dancers are not traditionally thought of as athletes. As a member of your school’s dance team you have been asked to write an article for your school magazine. Use the title and headings below to support the idea of dancers as athletes. Dancers Are Athletes Physical Strength & Skills Dancers Are Athletes Speaking of sports, many people would raise their eyebrows1 at the mention of2 dance. They think of dance as a form of exercise or social activity rather than an actual sport Amateurs3 enjoy moving their bodies and rubbing shoulders with4 others at nightclubs, dinner parties, or wedding banquets, but the competitive dance community, which deserves greater recognition5, takes dance very seriously at the professional level. Having been a member of our school’s dance team for over three years, I believe that dance shares many similar qualities with other elite sports and that dancers are indeed athletes. Physical Strength and Skills From my personal experience, dance requires immense physical strength just like other traditional sports, such as hockey and baseball. Even though some dance movements may appear simple and effortless6, they actually entail7 the same physical exertion8, use of muscles, agility9, speed, and coordination10 required of a typical11 athlete. A dance warm-up usually involves push-ups for arm muscles, crunches for abs, and squats and leg press for leg muscles. Dancers may not look as muscular as other jocks12 only because their muscles need to be compact to allow for more graceful13 movements. Besides, the ability to do the splits, turns, and jumps does not just happen overnight. Dancers have to condition14 and train their bodies so they can accomplish15 different sets of technique and choreography16. The Grind Jete, a jump up that requires a skilled ballerina to propel17 herself gracefully into the air while doing the splits in mid-air, is one of the most challenging dance moves in ballet and takes exceptional18 flexibility and balance. On top of physical strength, the mastery19 of other aesthetic20 skills, like musicality, expression and creativity, is also an important criterion21 for being a top-notch22 dancer. In auditions23 and competitions, the technical execution of a dancer can be near perfect, but the synchronization24 of music and motion and the ability to evoke the audience are what make a dance performance so breathtaking25 and mind-blowing26. In short, dancers devote even more stamina27 to their profession than some athletes. Self-discipline and Training Dance is an all-year-around sport that puts special emphasis on self-discipline. Competitive dancers are required to overcome physical barriers28 and endure29 pain because the road to competition is never easy. They stay up past midnight for practices, learn routines with intricate30 choreography, perfect their technique, memorize dance sequence and stage arrangements, and much more. During competition season, dancers undergo31 rigorous32 training regimes that can

DSE 2017 english paper 2答案 今次我們來看看DSE 2017 Part B Q9 sample 你讀完一定會明白 「哦！原來要咁寫先至有分！」 如果你想看到一篇有解釋答案的文章 你就一定要讀到最後！ DSE 2017 卷二寫作 答案 題目 Workplace Communication – Letter to the Editor on the Criticisms about HK Fresh Graduates It has recently been claimed that in the workplace many Hong Kong fresh university graduates are less hardworking and less willing to face challenges compared to those in the past.You strongly disagree with this opinion. Write a letter to the editor of the Hong Kong Daily disagreeing with this opinion. Support your view with three reasons and/or examples. DSE 2017 writing Q9 參考答案 Dear Editor, 第一段 I am writing to debunk the myth that today’s Hong Kong fresh university graduates are unlike those in the past, less hard-working and less willing to face challenges in the workplace. As a prospective university student, I find such stereotypes deeply unfair if not outright offensive. 第二段 That university graduates in Hong Kong are less hard-working than they used to be is a perception supported by no compelling evidence. Contrary to such a dim view university graduates, I believe they are just as assiduous, if not more so, than their seniors given today’s increasingly competitive work culture I know of no jobs where fresh university graduates could always leave their office on time as a matter of fact in many industries they often have to stay in the office until very late at night in order to finish their work: teachers, doctors, and bankers are some of the careers infamous for their punishingly long hours. This is sometimes because they are unfamiliar with the tasks given to them and therefore need more time to deal with them; but this is mostly because companies cannot afford to hire more people to share the workload. Fresh graduates are thus often the last to leave the office, and if anything, they are more hardworking than ever. 第三段 As for proof against the notion that today’s fresh university graduates are less willing to face challenges in the workplace, look no further than the gradual emergence of start-ups by local fresh university graduates, whose ambition to change the world for the better is driven by a deep social conscience and youthful idealism. Consider Arnold Chan, co-founder of Teach4HK, a nonprofit organization that enlists university graduates to serve in schools with impoverished students through a one-year teaching fellowship programme. As a straight-A graduate who had just begun his career at Goldman Sachs, he decided that he wanted to contribute to a cause greater than himself: improving the educational outcomes and opportunities of underprivileged students in Hong Kong. So rather than turning a blind eye to the challenges in the workplace, he and the teaching fellows that he recruited embraced them fully, knowing that the stakes are high for those who have the potential but not the opportunity to climb the social ladder. They understand that the challenges they face in a classroom with big wide eyes looking blankly at them are no less considerable than those they encounter in, say, a bank. The impression of fresh

Write around 220 words. 2017 英文卷三 5** 答案 第一段 Golden Flower Adventure Mall initial plan is acknowledged by our colleagues. After consideration by them, some features from the initial plan will be kept with further development while some will not. 第二段 To begin with, there are several features that will be kept. They include a lake, a 40 metre waterfall, as well as shops and restaurants on the sailing ship. Castle, however, will not be kept in a bid to match our jungle theme as there are no castles in a jungle. 第三段 With an eye to further developing the above features, there are various plans. The first one is that the waterfall will be reduced from 40 metre to 30 metre to prevent clouds from forming from the level. The reason behind is that clouds formed in Highland Adventure Centre in the United Kingdom, interfering electricity supply and causing power failure. The similar incident which caused closure of the centre for six months and incurred large cost will be prevented. Moreover, visitors are also allowed to climb on the sides of the waterfall, from the bottom to the top. 第四段 Apart from the waterfall, the lake is proposed to be an aquarium and a swimming is also included in the mall design next to the aquarium. With a view to maximizing the potential activities within the central area at the mall and keeping with the overall jungle adventure theme, ziplines will also be over the swimming pool and people can travel on them across the swimming pool. 第五段 In addition, the swimming pool is recommended right next to the aquarium at the lake with thick glass walls separating them so that swimmers can swim next to the sea animals in the aquarium. To further maximize the excitement, the swimming pool is also under the waterfall so that swimmers can try to be hit by the falling water. It is expected to attract visitors. 第六段 In order to protect the animals outside a giant wall at vegetation is also suggested to be put outside the shopping mall to reduce noise and light pollution from it. 第七段 All in all, the above are the opinions of our colleagues concerning the initial concept plan and it is hoped that the
