名詞崇拜

Very good article: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/siu82english/article?mid=26899

Example: I am glad to have you all as my students.

It is my utmost pleasure to be involved in the education and the bringing up of you all as my students. (有點冗長, 不夠concise, 反而失去了簡單直接的情感表達)

除非是一個formal speech, 否則9成情況上面的句子較佳. =)

  1. 從小學個陣老師就教我地作guide writing要用最簡單既句子,減少錯grammer既機會,以及令人覺得長氣...但有時偏偏想用英文表達中文曉意思,但又不懂如何簡化,就寫左一chinglish出黎...
    不過今日個篇composition比我想像中高分...有D phrase就係因為咁而比你underlined左,有待改善,繼續努力!!~ =]
