「寫作固定開頭和結尾要怎麼寫？」、「一週內就改掉講英文的口音？」、「口說練習時真的不用想文法，拚命說不會積非成是嗎？」、「到底要單字先還是要閱讀先？」。這些問題萬變不離其宗(All roads lead to Rome)，在學習五個歐洲語言系統的經驗告訴我，先學習該語言的：【語調】，learning the techniques of the intonation可以幫助抓到使用語言的情緒，當然你之後學習累積的字彙就可以更讓native speaker or language learner理解，才不會疑問還是肯定讓對方霧煞煞；再來，以學習【字彙】角度來看，不管是語言檢定考照或是自學興趣出發，都應該要以實用和貼近生活化為主，因為就算是聽力和閱讀不至於考到艱澀的範疇，或太過於抽象的概念，小秘訣：盡量從自我感興趣話題下手，每天準備五句生活職場常用句，呼吸間都是在學習狀態的話，要進步非難事；語言最開頭的【聽力】只要是生活中的交談、臉書上的社團交流PO文、音樂頻道平台或YOUTUBE影片分享內容，都應該是大家可以做為互相轉換和消遣的學習方式(即是不要用單一方式或教材學習，才增加廣度和深度，也可同時印證自己所學知識是實用的！)，等車時間或是通勤交通發呆(chilling during transits)，都可以來段TED TALK的深入淺出演講，讓自己在短短的時間內也能吸收豐富卻又集中度強的單字群組，效果加倍。
其實只要高頻率持續的接觸，就算只是每天花半小時慢跑習慣聽著朗讀文章或多益單字例句，可以化整為零來達到強大的吸收學習內化能力喔！其實從恐懼感到產生濃厚的興趣，要深入語言的內涵是不難的，有心學習的同學更別忘記要多用心思在節慶典故裡，畢竟在國外很多常聽到用到的用字，大多都跟信仰和歷史淵源有關，不可不多留心去感受；至於【閱讀】加強部分，不需要去著墨在要把每篇文章的行句中的單詞看懂，而是去用上下文(context)去推敲出來，自己可能比較不熟的單字和表達詞句。其實如果是以升學或考證為主的朋友，可以在使用學習雜誌前，利用快速瀏覽單字後，然後直接進入文章，可以抓到六成以上的意思，認為內容還有不甚理解的部分，可以用翻譯文章來參考對照，但不要逐字來去對比，因為英文和中文的語意邏輯和用字遣詞是有差異的。
你在看我嗎？從生活來【看】用字，妳知道什麼情況要用watch？ Look at？
1. The passengers are _怒視_ the smoker on the platform.
2. A girl is _快速瀏覽_ the latest issue of Fashion Weekly.
3. Mary is the only girl Brian adores as we __注視_ the beauty of stars in the sky.
4. The man by the door kept _直直瞧著_ me as if there's some stain on my face.
5. In the evening, the library is full of students who _專注地看_ their reference books.
*如果以上的答案妳都有相當的自信回答，那就來看看老師的詳細介紹吧！
★ watch (v.)觀賞→bird-watching(n.)賞鳥→watch pedestrian pass by看路人走過。
★ see(v.)看到→My neighbor saw me jog in the park.我鄰居看到我在公園慢跑。
& see a movie 通常是到電影院觀賞V.S. watch a movie在電視(腦)或手機上觀賞居多→theater(=theatre)真人演出圓形劇場和movie theater電影院不同喔！
★stare at (v.phr.)直瞧著, EX.: Whenever she strolled along the street, Helen couldn't help but stare at those gorgeous dresses on window display.
★glare at (v.phr)怒視著, EX.: Why are you glaring at like that？ Did I do something wrong？
★take a glimpse of匆匆一瞥, EX.: Pushed by time, I usually just took a glimpse of those products on the shelves at the duty-free shops before proceeding to the boarding gate. Therefore, you cannot blame me for not buying you anything on my way home.
★gaze at(v.)凝望, EX.: In New Zealand, college students take to lying on the grass, gazing at the shimmering full moon.
如果是想要進入進階篇的朋友，不如挑選市面上由小說所翻拍電影的文本，書店裡也會有暢銷書排行榜，不管是正面勵志類、驚悚謀殺、靈異恐怖、溫馨感人或愛情雋永的題材都有，老師建議可以先讀過書背的大意簡介，認為題材本身還算能接受，就可以進入書本的部分，試著去閱讀三頁左右，如果能夠抓到八成意思和七成的單字量，成為原文小說的起點。同學可以拿短篇集結的小說，不然人物角色複雜和時空錯置容易搞混。另外創作才子韋禮安，不僅僅誠懇深情的歌聲擄獲歌迷的心，在學識上也是有台大外文系的加持光環，也在近日分享自己在閱讀一本由電影控制Gone Girl同位作者Gillian Flynn另一驚悚力作Dark Places，講述主人翁在目睹滅門血案後，直指自己的親生哥哥就是殺人兇手，但隨著時光荏苒，當年的證詞好像也出現了動搖，到底這牽連一整個社區的可怕案件，是怎麼開始？又是怎麼影響到二十多年後的他們？一連串的蝴蝶效應全然展開，千萬不要關燈喔！？需要刺激題材才能勾起興趣的朋友，不失為一個好機會來探索本年度暢銷作家的精心勾勒出人性最幽暗的角落吧。
學習當中使用許多的聯想法來加深印象，歷史年代用口訣，數學公式反覆套用，甚至國文水調歌頭也要邊唱邊背，實境圖像或諧音方式可以從input輸入方面：1.聽覺(影音朗讀)2.視覺(圖卡影像)3.觸覺(書寫文字)等轉換媒介讓學習內容多方輸入，更可以加深學習經驗和未來的output輸入效果(聽寫能力展現)。但往往在需要英語溝通的場合中，不難發現國人在交談的理解上並沒有太困難的地方，但回應的句子結構顯得太過於矯情或是冗長過頭，過多的贅字造成溝通阻礙。R:Redunduant冗長表達 C:Concise精簡表達
1. 我女兒從和不同國家的交談可以得到很大的樂趣，這也是她決定要報考成為一名空服員的理由。
R: My daughter takes great pleasure in talking to people from all around the world and that's why she decided to apply for a position for flight attendant.
C:My daughter takes to interacting with people abroad , which explained why she determined to be a flight attendant.
不僅僅把句子濃縮，也利用了強而有力的片語take to + V-ing/N/Np(對某事物產生興趣)，
2.目前公司面臨員工短缺，需要更多人力來分擔工作量。在早上簡報時間過後，也決定要聘僱更多人來達成計畫中的進度內容。
R: It's clear that my company needs more workers for helping share the heavy workloads. After the morning briefing, we would consider hiring more staff to accomplish the project as anticipated.
C: Our firm, apparently, is understaffed in terms of more workloads. Recruiting more staff is a must for pulling off the project as requested.
