Care for the earth because it's the only planet you can see your handsome OPPA... or 小鲜肉

Correct or not! 🤣

Actually, this pandemic allows our environment to "breathe" for a while but we also can help out by buying sustainable or eco-friendly products.

Sustainability is like cutting emissions, lowering energy usage, sourcing products from fair-trade organizations and also ensuring our waste are disposed properly.

#rosannewong BEACH CLEAN UP - SAI WAN 🧹 🧤 🧤

The last hiking trip to Sai Wan beach was two weeks ago and we were distressed and disgusted by the amount of rubbish, mainly plastic items along the coast. We have made a promise (as a family) to organise a beach clean up at Sai Wan beach and we did it yesterday. We couldn’t thank our friends and like minded buddies enough who have showed up for this beach clean up day.

Plastic bags, bottles, food containers (plastic and styrofoam) and food wrappers lying discarded along the streets and at the beach. Ultimately most of this waste ends up in the sea where it can choke fish, birds and sea creatures. This destroys the ocean’s ecosystem as sea creatures would eat bits of plastic and styrofoam mistakenly as their food and ends up back on our dining table via the seafood we eat.

Do you know PLASTIC takes about 450 YEARS or more to break down?? With this figure you could imagine how much plastic we have on earth now that is waiting at the recycling plants, which the volume can’t be handled hence overspill to landfill and ocean. Even after it does, it releases toxins into its surroundings, our earth (where we breathe, live and grow our food) and ocean (where all sea creatures live and where our seafood are derived from)

Earth is our home, she should be worthy of our dedicated care! Don’t wait until it’s too late to act, join us to save the planet that has given so much to us. We want children and future generations to be able to enjoy theWorld’s beautiful beaches, nature trails and country parks. EVERYONE CAN DO THEIR PART, yes EVERYONE and it starts from home:
1• Mindfully stop styrofoam usage
2• Mindfully reduce plastic usage
Solutions for 1 & 2 is to bring your own take away reusable containers, reusable straws (or don’t use straws at all) and reusable shopping bags.
3• Practice separation of plastic, paper and glass disposal and place it in the apartment’s recycling bins.

Lastly, if you don’t see a rubbish bin around, ALWAYS take your rubbish with you. IF ONLY we could all take care of our own rubbish, this world will be a very beautiful place for us all to live in and no one has to pick up other’s rubbish anymore.

【字典查不到的答案】老師，solid / firm 這兩個字都是「紮實」，該怎麼區分？

今天我們要來看一個，英英字典也難以解決的問題。

近年來越來越多人開始注意搭配詞、語塊的學習。語塊的學習，其實可以以一個比較有效率、實際的方式，解決傳統教學中「字辨」的議題。

曾經是學生的時候，我也曾經著迷過「字辨」，喜歡從定義下手，搞清楚什麼字跟什麼字的差別到底是什麼。

但學了語言習得科學以後，知道這樣的 explicit knowledge 是否能順利地轉換成寫作、口說時「即時」要使用的能力 (implicit knowledge) 還有很大的疑問時，我開始尋找答案。

✔︎ 後來找到了 "usage-based approach" 這個圍繞在語塊、頻率等概念學習外語的方式。

例如，很多學生都問過我 solid 和 firm 的分別。傳統的教學法可能是翻很多不同的字典，讓學生理解定義的些微差距。但實際的世界就是：「大家在使用時，根本沒有時間想那些細微差距、有些時候也分不出來差別」。

這時我們就可以借用「語料庫對於語塊的統計整理」，暫時幫我們解決問題。其中我們可以分成 3 大面向：

1️⃣ 只有 solid 可以接
solid waste、food 固體垃圾、食物
a solid majority 絕大多數
solid proof 強而有力的證據
a solid player 能力很不錯的球員
a solid 6 hours 整整 6 個鐘頭
a solid start 不錯的、好的開始
solid effort 紮紮實實的努力

2️⃣ 只有 firm 可以接
a firm believer 堅定的信仰者
a firm handshake 堅定、強而有力的握手
a firm voice 堅定的聲音
a firm stand 堅定的立場 (solid 偶爾可以，但不高頻)
firm tofu 硬的、老豆腐

3️⃣ solid 和 firm 都可以接
a firm / solid foundation 良好、紮實的基礎
firm / solid support 有力的支持
a firm / solid performance 穩紮穩打的表現
a firm / solid understanding 良好的理解
to be on firm / solid ground 有理論基礎、站得住腳的

其實我們日常生活中、工作上、學術上會用到的表達方式，都是有一定範圍的。將這些東西先整理好，加以用對的方式練習，短期間之內可以把英文學好絕對不只是口號而已。

在 6/1 (一) 我會帶來一場改變ㄧ生英文文法、搭配詞公開課。如果你喜歡「實際」、但又基於實證科學的英語學習方式，如果你想要將過去學習的洞一個一個補起來，我有信心一定能對你的學習帶來改變。

公開課名額有限，請確認出席後方才報名，確保每個人的學習權利。感謝！
