為了使學(xué)生們好好復(fù)習(xí)，各科老師都經(jīng)常給他們一些測驗(yàn)，英語課也不例外。不少同學(xué)在第測驗(yàn)中取得好成績，我在給他們的信中加以贊揚(yáng)。
TEACHER'S
Dear students，
I am really glad that some of you did make an effort to prepare for the quiz and got very satisfactory results. Alison and Shirley got 70%； Caroline got 80%；Sugus， Yeedee and Christina got 90% while Eva， Wendy and Ruby got 100% correct answers. Congratulations！ Keep up your good effort and please try to help the other students around you.
As I am reading your STSs and writing my STS very late at night， it is a little difficult for me to read those words written with pens not dark enough. Therefore， I would be really grateful if you could write with darker pens. Now it is about one o'clock in the morning and I am still working on my STS. I believe it is worth it. This programme not only helps us to understand each other but also allows you to have more opportunities to read and write. I don't want to give you too much pressure， so if you really don't enjoy the programme， you may quit.
It is indeed a little tiring to work till late at night， but honestly， I enjoy reading your STSs， especially from those students who speak from the bottom of their hearts. One of you told me about her trouble with her little brother. I totally understand because I was just like her when I was small. I would like to thank you all for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me. I am also happy to see that some used the words and phrases they had learnt in their STSs， e.g.，“fit for”and “disgusting”。It is not enough just to “l(fā)earn”English； you have to use it. So， read more； write more； listen more； and speak more.
I understand that some of you feel great difficulty in many subjects. The textbooks are full of so many difficult words and phrases. You regret that you didn't work hard enough from Form One to Three. Maybe you are totally at a loss （not knowing what is going on）when the teacher is teaching. On the other hand， some are still not sure whether or not they really want to study in Form Four and Five and then take the public examination. Worse still， perhaps some of you are felling very unhappy because of family problems or quarrels with boyfriends or girlfriends. Don't give up. You should learn how to solve problems one after another. It is very painful to face up to problems and try to deal with them but we must do that. Running away from problems or trying hard not to think about them is not a solution. Face up to then， daughters and sons. If there is anything I can help you with， do let me know.

did用來加強(qiáng)語氣，表示他們確實(shí)很努力。
prepare解作“準(zhǔn)備/安排”，而prepare for解作“準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)付”。因此：
●prepare an exam.×
●prepare for an exam.√
●prepare a meal√
●prepare for a meal×
congratulations習(xí)慣上用復(fù)數(shù)。
另外一種較有英語“味道”的句式是：I find it a little difficult to…
working on 基本上跟doing意思相近，不過前者需要付出更多努力。
it is worth it 意思是“這是值得的。”，但切勿漏掉末端的it，因?yàn)閕t is worth并不是完整的句子。
留意兩者不同的意思：
●each other解作“彼此”，例如：Mary and peter love each other.
●'one another'解作“互相”，例如：The classmates help one another.
留意不同意思：tiring解作“使人疲倦的”，而tired解作“感到疲倦”。
留意正確用法：
●enjoy to read×
●enjoy reading√
like在這里是介詞，例如：I'm like（介詞）her.即解作“我跟她相似”；但當(dāng)like作為動(dòng)詞時(shí)，便如：I like（動(dòng)詞）her.則解作“我喜歡她”。
這并非過去時(shí)，而是有禮貌的一種說法，意思是：I want…
learn的過去式和過去分詞都可寫成learnt或learned.
留意兩者的不同之處：
●maybe = perhaps
●may be ≠perhaps
留意正確用法：
●…whether or not they want it√
●…whether they want it or not√
●…if or not they want it ×
●…if they want it or not√
Worse still 可用Even worse來代替。
跟because 不同，because of 之后只可用名詞或動(dòng)名詞。
one after another 可用one by one 來代替。
簡單說face（面對(duì)）也可以。
Running 和 trying 在這句子里是主語（subject），所以要加-ing.
do 用來加強(qiáng)語氣，句子這部分的意思是：“一定要讓我知道?！?BR> 留意let的正確用法：
●let me know√
●let me to know×
●let me knowing×
LANGUAGE
Agreement
一種常見的寫作錯(cuò)誤發(fā)生在“主謂一致”（agreement）方面。英語語法中，謂語（predicate）跟主語（subject）的一致必須遵循一定規(guī)則。請(qǐng)參閱從本單元中挑選出來的一些例子。EXAMPLE
1.…it is a little difficult for me to read those words…
2.This programme not only helps us to understand each other…
3.I don't want to give you too much pressure.
4.…so if you don't enjoy the programme…
5.The textbooks are full of so many difficult words.
雖然大部分同學(xué)都很熟悉關(guān)于agreement的用法，但是同學(xué)們須清楚句子中哪個(gè)名詞才是主語（subject）。請(qǐng)參閱以下例子：
EXAMPLE
Running away from problems or trying hard not to think about them is （are） not a solution.
在以上例句中，Running away…or trying hard …才是主語（subject），所以動(dòng)詞用is，而非are.
中四學(xué)年剛開始，同學(xué)們對(duì)一切事物都感到很新鮮，他們?cè)赟TSs中多談及對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的期望和感受。請(qǐng)?jiān)谙铝蠸TSs中造成主謂不一致的動(dòng)詞下畫上橫線，并將正確的動(dòng)詞寫在右欄上，沒有錯(cuò)誤的請(qǐng)用√表示。
Test Your Understanding
1.Mr. Yeung， How are you？ My English quiz result are very good. I am very happy that I has taken high marks. I didn't read the notes yesterday. I thought I would fail. That's why I am so happy now.
2.I feel all the subjects is more difficult than the subjects in S.3.There is a lot of things I don't understand. I have tried my best but it is still very difficult. What can I do， Sir？ You always speak in English. I likes it！ My uncle always speak in English with me.
3.You believe that my parents feels very happy because I promise them to work hard. I am afraid not. They does not believe that I will do it. They always punishes me when I do something wrong. Sir， I feel happy because my English standard have improved a little. I am sorry that last time I forgot to give you an STS.
4.This week we has a four days' holiday. I think I will spend the holiday studying some subjects. But I hope my parents will allow me to do something I likes. I believe that interesting activities relaxes our minds and our bodies. We can learn better after relaxing ourselves.
