這學期會話課我選了2016年的 “Designated Survivor”當補充教材，雖然是舊片，但在字彙與片語的豐富度和各種社會、文化、政治議題都有所觸及的廣度是我很喜歡的。這一季的 “Emily in Paris”就不太適合，“The Queen's Gambit”因為不是自己喜歡的類型，所以看了一集就棄看了。私心自然是最喜歡Ridley Scott導演的“Raised by Wolves”，這當然是因為我對與外星文明有關的片毫無抵抗力，而且如果說普羅米修斯是異型前傳的話，那“Raised by Wolves”似乎正走向普羅米修斯前傳。
以下是整理出來的“Designated Survivor”第一季第一集所出現的重要單字和片語，本來是出給學生們當作業的但是沒人交 ~
