In favour of an electric car is conceivable – who would enjoy planning their day-to-day lives around charging spots, and who would not want to avoid the humiliation it running out of battery in the middle of a six-lane busy road during rush hours? 人們選擇購買汽油驅動的汽車。支持電動汽車可以想像 – 誰會喜歡在充電點周圍規劃他們的日常生活，誰不想避免在高峰時段在六車道繁忙的道路中間耗盡電池的羞辱？ 2021 writing Q2 內文 2 Another reason that comes to mind is insufficient promotion. 我想到的另一個原因是促銷不足。 We rarely see an

DSE Writing 英文寫作卷一向都令唔少同學非常頭痛。除咗難短時間內突破性進步之外，網上亦都流傳好多 DSE Writing 嘅實用文格式，但就缺少Advanced嘅句式同小技巧。 小技巧1: “因為”的6個英文句式 “因為”是寫作時最常用到的連接詞，但除了 because / because of / as… 還有什麼可用? by reason of He retired by reason of his age. as a result of Many people died as a result of wound infections. thanks to He learned something new thanks to his extraordinary research. That being the case He does not have real knowledge. That being the case, he cannot make a wise decision. 他沒有真正的智慧，所以不能作出明智的決定。 Thus/Hence She always throws tantrums at people around her.

Accordingly, the product goes up in price. 因為成本正在上漲，所以產品價格也上升了。   *當然每個字都有不同的用法，大家要特別小心的 小技巧2 : 善用標點 引號 quotation mark 「“」「‘」 引號有分兩種，分別係雙引號「”」以及單引號「’」。雙引號嘅使用較為容易區分，用於引述某人所講嘅說話，例如： Peter said, “It is sunny today.” 單引號則多數用於強調語氣嘅時候，即作者想強調句子中嘅某一個字，例如： This flower market sells the ‘freshest’ flowers. (帶有反話語氣) 分號 semicolon 「;」 分號嘅定位介乎於句號以及逗號之間，當一個句子已經完結，但下一句仍然同上一句有些少關係，呢個時候就可以用分號嚟分開兩個句子。例如： Chris has 2 friends in Japan; 3 friends in Korea; 4 friends in Taiwan. 連字號 hyphen 「-」 連字號用於將兩個獨立嘅詞語連接埋一齊，組成一個複合詞。例如： well & known -> well-known 5** 狀元 Writing 必用句式 …has a profound influence on… ……對……有著深遠的影響 平時你只會講：  Using coal has a negative effect on the environment. 其實5**狀元會寫： The overreliance on electricity has a profound influence on global warming. 對電力的過度依賴，對全球變暖產生深遠的影響。 …on the verge of… ……在……的邊緣 平時你只會講： The continuous bad luck is nearly driving him mad. 其實5**狀元會寫： The Japanese were on the verge of collapsing when the Americans dropped the first atomic bomb. 當美國人投下第一顆原子彈時，日本人處於崩潰的邊緣。 throw (somebody) under the bus 為了保護自己的利益而出賣別人 平時你只會講： My best friend Peter betrayed me and took advantage of it. 其實5**狀元會寫： Our friendship ended when Peter threw me under the bus in front of my boss just to land himself a promotion. …caught in the crossfire… …陷入了困境…… 平時你只會講： The ones that are stuck between two people arguing always have to mediate. 其實5**狀元會寫： It is never an easy recovery for children caught in the crossfire of a pair of dramatic parents. 對於陷入一對戲劇性父母的困境中的孩子來說，康復絕非易事。 這事件是認真的… 平時你只會講：This problem is very serious. 其實5**狀元會寫：名詞 is no laughing matter. This is no laughing matter, as tens of thousands of people paid their lives to warn us of the severity of it. 這可不是鬧著玩的，因為成千上萬的人付出了生命的代價來警告我們它的嚴重性。 只能 only 平時你只會講： He can only make the birthday party so good as time is running out. 其實5**狀元會寫：…have no alternatives but to… ……別無選擇，只能…… As the fire spreads, the crew has no alternative but to bail out of the building. 隨著火勢蔓延，工作人員別無選擇，只能從建築物中逃生。 為了 (目的) 平時你只會講： I rushed down the road I get to my friend’s wedding on time. 其實5**狀元會寫： …in the hope of… I rushed down the road in the hope of making it to the church on time. 我衝上馬路，希望能準時到達教堂。   其他解作 “為了”的英文: 你亦可以用: with a view to in an attempt to in a bid to ……說明… 平時你只會講： The professor explained the difficulties that students had. 其實5**狀元會寫：…shed light on… ……說明… The TV station invited an anthropology expert to help shed some light on their new documentary program. 電視台邀請了一位人類學專家來幫助理解他們的新紀錄片節目。 表達感受 如果想表達 緊張氣氛 可以如何用英文表達?  平時同學會寫:I felt nervous.

He suffocated me and I was about to die.  1.我總是感到緊張2.我的心在跳動。3. 他令我窒息，我快要死了。 反駁句 平時同學會寫:This may be true. But their claims are ridiculous. In fact, these are not
