》托福寫作十大常用句型《

第一:形容詞子句。
這應該算是寫作中最常用的一種句型之一。適當地運用形容詞子句可以給你的文章增色不少。
例如,下面的這兩個句子用上形容詞子句馬上就變成了一個漂亮的複雜句。
Bad books contain evil thoughts. In them, there might be much deion about violence, superstition, and sex.
→ Bad books, in which there might be much deion about violence, superstition, and sex, contain evil thoughts.

第二:副詞子句。
在托福寫作備考當中運用的最多的是以下五種副詞子句,即原因副詞子句,讓步副詞子句,條件副詞子句,時間副詞子句和目的副詞子句。

1. 原因副詞子句:常由because, as, since和for引導
例: Nonetheless, I am still in favor of space travel, for its merits far outweigh demerits.
儘管如此,我還是贊成太空探險,因為它的好處遠遠大於壞處。

2. 讓步副詞子句:常由although, though, even though/ if, as long as和notwithstanding引導
例: Although this view is wildly held, this is little evidence that education can be obtained at any age and at any place.

😱  新SAT考試有哪些變化? 😱
  
2016年3月,美國大學理事會正式啟動新的SAT考試,這意味著全球的考生將要面臨著一個新的挑戰。
SAT全稱Scholastic Assessment Test,意為學術能力評估測試,由美國大學理事會(College Board)主辦,其成績是世界各國高中生申請美國大學入學資格及獎學金的重要參考,它與ACT(American College Test,美國高等院校考試)都被稱為美國高考。
SAT主要考察學生們在大學階段所必須的閱讀和寫作能力。考試科目分別為閱讀(Critical Reading)、數學(Mathematics)和寫作(Writing)。寫作由作文(Essay)和語法選擇題(multiple choice)組成。
自引入SAT考試以來,已經進行過多次改革。新的SAT考試改革將於3月份啟動,被稱為有史以來最大的一次改革(one of the greatest overhauls of the exam in its history)。那麼,新舊SAT到底有什麼不同?
  
✤ 1. 記分改變(Different scoring)
The new SAT is going back to the old 1600 scale (400-1600) and doing away with the 2400 scale (600-2400). 
新SAT考試將重回之前的1600分制(400-1600),取消2400分制(600-2400)。
✤ 2. 答錯不倒扣分(No more penalty for wrong answers)
Students will earn points for the questions they answer correctly but will not lose points for incorrect answers, as they did on the old test.
新的SAT考試中,學生們答對得分,答錯也不倒扣分。舊的SAT考試中,答錯要倒扣分。
✤ 3. 考試時長變短(Shorter test)
Not only will there be fewer questions, but students can spend less time taking the SAT. The old test took 225 minutes, but the new one takes 180 minutes, if you skip the essay.
新的SAT考試不僅題數變少了,學生們的考試時間也變短了。舊的SAT考試時長為3小時45分鐘,如果考生不考作文的話,新的SAT考試時長為3小時。
✤ 4. 作文變選考(Essay now optional)
The College Board has made several changes to the SAT essay, the biggest of which is that it's now optional. Students are no longer required to write an essay, but some colleges and still require it.
美國大學理事會對SAT作文考試做了很多變革,其中最大的變化就是作文變成選考。學生們不再被強制要求要寫作文,不過一些大學仍要求考生寫作。
✤ 5. 晦澀用詞變少(No more obscure vocabulary)
Instead of quizzing students on words they’ll never use again like “abrogate” or “plaudit”.
新的SAT考試不再使用學生不常用到的詞,例如“abrogate”、“plaudit”。
✤ 6. 計算器只在某些數學部分被允許使用(No-calculator math section)
The new SAT has two math sections, one where you can use a calculator and one where you can't. The no-calculator section is new and was designed to make it easier for colleges to assess students' understanding of math concepts, according to The College Board.
新的SAT考試有兩個數學部分,其中一部分可以使用計算機,另一部分不可以。不可以使用計算機的部分是新設的,美國大學理事會表示,設立該部分是為了讓大學更簡單地考察考生對數學概念的理解能力。
✤ 7. 圖形圖表變多(More graphs and charts)
The new test will have an increased emphasis on questions that make students infer information from graphs and charts, especially in the reading section.
新SAT考試的題目將注重讓考生從圖形和圖表中推斷出資訊,尤其是在閱讀部分。

Yes, actually. UK scientists have been authorised by the government to genetically modify human embryos for research. What they can’t do though is implant modified embryos into women. They talked a lot about gene editing...
當然有。英國科學家獲政府批准,以研究為目的修改人類胚胎基因。但他們不能將基因修改的胚胎植入婦女體內。他們還談論了很多關於基因編輯的事。
Can you explain to us what gene editing is?

🎁 中英文稿:
That, of course, is the sound of the Himalayan forest thrush. And that sound was a clue to field researchers that they might have a new species of bird on their hands. Even though it was in the bush. You know what I mean.
這是喜馬拉雅深林中畫眉的歌聲。這個歌聲會告訴田野研究員這裡可能有新的鳥類物種。即使它在灌木叢中~你懂我的意思。
You see, the Himalayan forest thrush looks a great deal like another well-known bird called the alpine thrush. They're both found in northeastern India and nearby parts of China. But the alpine thrush has a raspy song compared with the more mellifluous Himalayan forest thrush.
喜馬拉雅畫眉和著名的高山畫眉有很多相似之處。它們都發現於印度東北部以及中國附近地區。但是,喜馬拉雅畫眉的歌聲甜美如蜜,但高山畫眉的歌聲卻有些刺耳。
One of the researchers, Shashank Dalvi of India's National Center for Biological Sciences and the Wildlife Conservation Society, likened the two different birds to Rod Stewart versus Adele.
來自於印度的國家生物科學中心和野生動物保護協會的的沙•代爾維,將這兩不同的鳥比作為羅德•斯圖爾特和阿黛爾。
Further analyses, including of the birds' DNA, confirmed that the song differences were indicative of these birds indeed belonging to two separate species. The finding is in the journal Avian Research.
通過對鳥類的DNA等進一步分析,證明了這兩種鳥歌聲不同表明實際上它們屬於不同的物種。該研究結果發表在《鳥類學研究》雜誌上。
The discovery of a new bird species is relatively rare. Since the year 2000, ornithologists have found five new species annually on average, mostly in South America. So this newly characterized thrush—only the fourth new species found in India since it became independent in 1947—should send birdwatchers from all over the world flocking. I mean, it's a sound discovery.
發現新的鳥類物種是相當罕見的。自從2000年,鳥類學家平均每年發現5種新物種,而這些新的物種主要集中在南美洲。所以,自1947年印度獨立以後,這種具有新特徵的畫眉,是在印度發現的第四個新物種。這項新發現應引起世界觀鳥者蜂擁而至。我的意思是,這樣才是驚奇的發現。

【神鬼獵人REVENANT是什麼?】都拿奧斯卡了,這字怎能不認識!!

李奧納多陪跑22年的奧斯卡,終於捧了小金人影帝回家囉!
李奧納多在《神鬼獵人》中,又是被熊咬、又是睡在死馬身體裡,幾乎快被虐待到瘋掉,終於拿下他夢寐以求的奧斯卡影帝。

神鬼獵人英文片名為:REVENANT
今天就一起來學這個字

revenant [ˋrɛvənənt] 
n.(名詞)
長期流浪後歸來的人
One that returns after a lengthy absence.

【字源】這字很好記得
<re-:back> + <ven:come> + <ant:man>
流浪後歸來的人

而重要的字根就是 <ven:come>
最有名的就是凱撒名言:VENI VIDI VICI 我來,我見,我征服
