【 周錫瑋的中共史觀 】

周錫瑋在DW 中文 - 德國之聲 的專訪，讓大家去思考兩件事。

第一，英文流利跟國際觀是兩碼子事。有時候，說的一口流利英文，但言談間顯現一種令人惱怒的高傲以及對外交局勢的無知，真的會讓人飆髒話。

第二，像周這樣一心認為台灣有天要「回復」成為中國的菁英權貴，在國民黨裡到底還有誰？去看周的維基百科，很莞爾的是上面寫「不演了，直接認同一個中國」。但更嚴肅的問題是，在台灣政壇上，還有誰在演？還有誰骨子裡的想法跟周一樣，只是為了選票，暫時性地隱藏他們對中國國族史觀的憧憬？

影片的專訪有一個細節，在中文翻譯裡被忽略了。

周說，只要你不支持台灣獨立，中國人不會那樣對你。翻譯雖然是「台灣獨立」，但周的用詞並不是independence of Taiwan，而是seperation from China。他的說法，正確翻譯應該是：「只要你不支持從中國分離」。

seperation，是國際法上的用詞，中文翻譯為「從母國分離」。

這也是中共的一貫用語。例如耿爽，他應該很喜歡用這個字。事實上，如果你只看逐字稿不看影片，你可能會以為講話的人是中國外交部官員。

也就是說，周的兩岸論述，與中共如果不是如出一徹，至少也是師出同門。

我希望德國之聲的朋友，看到這一段，可以修正字幕，不需要幫周美化。

可怕的是，他內心根深柢固地相信中共的善意，他不但相信中國「可以」當台灣的兄弟，他還認為台灣「應該」要當中國的兄弟。

他甚至天真地認為，台灣可以改變中國。

問題是：台灣可不可以改變中國是一回事，但我們沒有義務要去改變他們。

在專訪中，他親口說。只要台灣不說錯話，中國就不會攻打台灣。

他還笑笑地說，中國對台灣的武力攻擊，沒那麼嚴重（it's not that serious）。

沒那麼嚴重？2300萬人的生命安全，沒那麼嚴重？

這一位擁有兩個南加大碩士、當過立委跟台北縣長、想出來選總統的國民黨菁英，在這場國際媒體專訪中，展現了可鄙的無知、自大。

They just don't care about us.

法國神父通宵陪伴大家
感謝佢帶領大家
和平地、平安地渡過一晚
願平安常與每位同在

「原來香港人是可以不為自己、無私地付出血汗，只為了美好的信念，為了香港將來，為了和平、自由。」

＃沸點直擊#已是夜深 【煲底下的法國人 范偉樂神父】
與青年一同祈禱，談 #修身齊家治國平天下

「大家好！明顯地，我不是香港人，我是一個法國人，希望你們聽懂我的廣東話。你們知道嗎？我們在法國罷工罷課，是很專業的！我在這裡，見到那些穿黃背心的朋友，你們或許會知道。不過，在法國罷工罷課，不像現在這樣，很多時人們只是維護自己利益，有時更會發生暴力，就好像「黃背心」(示威行動) 一樣，我們在法國會這樣罷工的。
　
但這幾天我在香港，見到很多人團結在一起，他們不是為了自己利益，而是為了香港將來、為公義、為自由、為平安，去表達自己的意見和關心，這令我覺得非常感動。

我4年前來到香港，我是一位天主教神父，一心在香港服務。4年前我仍未懂得講中文，那時候，我接觸到香港人，我覺得他們高度崇尚個人主義或者消費主義，又不太願意和別人打招呼，甚至有點冷漠。

但這幾天發生的事，讓我知道，那時候我誤會了。原來香港人可以不為自己，無私地付出血汗，只為了美好的信念、為香港將來、為和平、自由。就像夏主教說的，香港人值得驕傲，這些精神，我們需要珍惜。

起初來港2、3年，我不太清楚香港人身份；他們既是中國人、卻不喜歡中國人的身份？故此我也不大清楚香港人的身份是什麼。不過，這幾天，我開始明白香港人的身份是怎樣的。原來，有這麼多人團結起來，為了維護最重要的價值：自由、和平、仁愛！感謝大家在這幾天參與了這場大型運動！

現在，我正學習中文，最近我學習到一句說話，我相信大家也懂得的：「修身、齊家、治國、平天下」。「平天下」代表我們要平安，這幾天我們在此參與，正是因為「治國」出現了問題。現在「治國」不足，大家也為將來感到恐懼，害怕將來不能像現在般集會，不能擁有宗教自由。

由於治國出現了問題，所以我們現在要出來表達意見，但你們也要謹記：「治國」只是排第三位，排第一位是「修身」，修身即是要自己先要有和平和平安，保護我們和天主的關係，保護我們和別人互愛的關係。

而排第二位是「齊家」，的確，我們在家庭內，會有不同的意見，有時會有衝突或吵架，但我們要在家庭裡，保護愛的關係和包融的關係，互相包融與寬恕，才能補足到「治國」的缺乏。

故此，我們要關心「治國」問題，也要先「修身」和「齊家」，保持這樣的精神才能有真正的平安。真正的自由不單是外在的自由或政治的自由，也是內心的自由。所以我們要向我們的天父祈禱，因為我們的力量有限制，有時會不知該怎樣做，所以我們投奔天主 ，求祂幫助我們。

仁慈的天父，我們今晚在此聚集一起，因我們相信在困難中、在黑暗中，祢時常會與我們同在。求祢賜給我們團結共融的精神，好好保護祢賜給我們的愛和平安，亦為香港社會祈禱，或許香港社會人與人關係有點複雜，但無論我們在哪兒，也求祢讓我們造和平的工具，去做一些小事、 說一句話， 把大家的關係修好，使人與人之間的關係，可以互相包容和幫助。

我們感謝祢，這幾天有許多人為了公義、自由、仁愛而付出，雖然我們不知道將來會怎樣，能否繼續像現在般祈禱或表達意見，但求祢讓我們這份保護團結及和平的精神。因主、耶穌基督之名，求祢俯聽我們的祈禱，亞孟。」

Hello, everyone. It's apparent that I'm not a Hongkonger. I'm French. Hope you can understand my Cantonese.
Well, you know, when we're on strike in France...stop working or going to classes...we're very professional. I see lots of you here wearing a yellow vest. May be you know. However, in France, when we're on strike, it's not like here. People try to protect their own interests and would even gone violent sometimes...just like the Yellow Vest Movement. We would strike like that in France.
But these few days in Hong Kong, lots of people hold onto each other, not for their personal interest but for the future of Hong Kong, for justice, for freedom, for peace...express their opinion and care. I'm really moved.

I came to Hong Kong four years ago. I'm a Catholic priest and I came to serve Hong Kong. Four years ago, I don't know Cantonese. The Hongkongers I came across then gave me a feeling that they're fond of individualism and consumerism. They don't even want to greet each other...apparently a bit cold. But what happened these few days told me that I was wrong then about Hongkongers. Hongkongers can devote their sweat and blood not for their own self benefit but for their ideal, for the future of Hong Kong, for peace and freedom. As Bishop Ha said: Hongkongers, you should be proud of yourselves. Keep this spirit. We should treasure this spirit.

For the first two or three years when I first came to Hong Kong, I'm not quite sure about the identity of Hongkongers.
Hongkongers are Chinese but doesn't really like the identity of being Chinese. Hence, I'm a bit confused. But for the past few days, I begin to understand better the identity of Hongkongers. So many people hold onto each other in solidarity to protect the most valuable notions: freedom, peace and love. Thank you everyone to be part of this massive scale movement.

I'm still learning Chinese. Recently, I learnt a saying...I'm sure you all know that saying: improve your own self, manage your family, govern your country and then peace for all.

'Peace for all' means we all need peace. We're here these few days because there's a bit of problem about 'governing'.

This discrepancy in governing makes everyone worry about the future...worry about the freedom of gathering, the freedom of religion like what we're having now will be gone.

It's because of this discrepancy in governing, people come out to voice their opinion. But please remember, 'govern your country' is only at the third place. The first one is 'improve your own self'. That means, you should first have peace and safety...to protect the relationship between us and God...to protect the love between us and the others.

The second one is 'manage your family'. It's true that we have different opinion in the family. Sometimes, we argue...we have conflicts. But we have to protect the love within our family, accommodate each other, forgive each other so that we can make up to the discrepancy in 'governing'.

Hence, if we're going to care for 'governing our country', we have to, first of all, 'improve our own self' and 'manage our family'. With such a spirit, we will have real peace. Real freedom is not just a superficial freedom or political freedom. It's the inner freedom in our heart. We must pray to our heavenly Father. Our strength is limited. Sometimes, we don't know what to do. We must go to our God and beg for His help.

Merciful God, we're here tonight...we believe that when there is hardship, when we're in the dark, You are with us. Please grant us the spirit of solidarity, so that we can protect the love and peace you gave us. We pray for Hong Kong. May be the relationship among Hongkongers are a bit complicated but wherever we are, please let us be the instrument of peace...do something, may be very small, say a word or two to repair the relationship among us...so we can be accommodative and help each other.

We thank you...for the past few days, lots of people are sacrificing for justice, freedom and love. Although we don't know if in the future, we can pray or express our opinion like what we're doing now, please let us keep up with this spirit of solidarity and peace.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Why taking the SAT or ACT when you’re not ready is a terrible mistake.

For several years now, I’ve noticed that many of my students who study at international schools tend to take an SAT test just to “test the waters.”

This is such a bad move it’s not funny!

What’s so bad about it?

American admissions officers dislike students who only focus on tests. So, even if you manage to get a high score after you’ve taken the SAT too many times, you might be rejected anyway.

Your SAT score is so important! Please do not waste any opportunity to get a high score!

I read the following quote on Dartmouth’s website:

“We don't recommend excessive testing. Making the most out of your high school opportunities is more important than repeatedly taking standardized tests."

Is it only Dartmouth?

Actually, this kind of statement isn’t unique to Dartmouth - it’s pretty standard. Most of the top universities say exactly the same thing. This causes many people to believe that colleges don’t really care much about your SAT score.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

All you have to do is to look at the average SAT/ACT scores that enrolling students receive. As an example, successful applicants to Dartmouth average around 1500 (out of 1600). That’s pretty high! What do they mean then?

They mean that students need to focus on non-academic pursuits AS WELL AS getting a very high score on their SATs.

So, you definitely need a high SAT score, but you can’t look like you care that much. If you take a test before you’re ready, there will be a record of your lower-than-ideal score. You’ll naturally need to retake the exam a second, third, and, possibly, fourth, time.

Let’s say that you do achieve your ideal score on the fourth or fifth attempt. How will the admissions officer view you when you have exactly the same score as another applicant who only took the test twice or three times? Who will they select?

Naturally, they will not choose you because you look like a testing machine.

In the US, everybody knows that it’s foolish to take the SAT or ACT more than three times. That means that you should NEVER waste an attempt. You should be ready before you ever take the test.

So, what should you do?

First, “test the waters” in a safe environment: your home.

You can do some practice questions on Khan Academy to get a feel for the test. Then, when you feel ready to tackle the whole test, do one of the Official Tests found on Khan or CollegeBoard:

https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams

https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests

Make sure you download the test, print it out and do it on paper. If you do it on the computer, you will NOT be simulating the real test.

Presently, there are a total of 9 released tests. CollegeBoard and Khan have released 8, and there is one more floating about on the internet. (As an aside, I actually use this test in my classes. I purposely avoid the other released tests because most schools use them and so do many students. I hate it when students say, “I’ve done that test before!”)

Simply using these tests will give you a good idea of what score you would get if you took the real test. And you can do this without risking being labelled a testing machine.

Also, as there are only 9 official tests out there, don’t waste them. Granted, there are other “official” tests online or in some schools, but these are usually riddled with errors or are incomplete. (I personally hate doing a test and not knowing which questions are faulty before doing it. Most of the time, students spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers to questions that do not even have answers. It can be very frustrating.)

Another thing: of the nine, only 5 of them are previously administered tests. The first four “official tests” were designed before CollegeBoard switched from the old SAT to the new one in 2016. These four tests are quite easy compared to what is being tested now, so are not a great indicator of your future score. They are great for practicing question types - just understand that if you get a really high score on them it doesn’t mean that you will do just as well on test day.

Only tests 5-9 (also easier than the current tests) are the closest thing we have to the current SAT tests. Still, these are easier than the current test, especially in the reading section, so be aware that the reading will most probably be even tougher than what is in all of the officially released tests.

If you have any other questions related to how to prep for your SATs, feel free to leave a message below or PM me.

Enjoy your SAT studies!
