點解有啲人明明英文都幾好，但都攞唔到5+？🫣
其實唔係你英文差，而係你用錯方法‼️
真正決定5＋嘅，係你有冇「意識」去滿足考評局既評分準則。

1️⃣充分拓展觀點 elaboration
E.g. parents should not install monitoring apps on their children’s mobile phones⬅️Because it invades children privacy
🔻私隱為何重要？Why is privacy so important?
🔻有冇事例或研究結果去支持兒童私隱重要性? Any real examples/studies to support the importance of children’s privacy
🔻兒童私隱被侵犯有甚麼後果？What are the consequences of invading children’s privacy?

2️⃣多元化Sentence Structures
有意識去將簡單句式轉為複雜句式✔️
E.g inversion, cleft sentence, adj. pattern, participle phrase, etc。
e.g. Inversion: I have never seen such a beautiful sunset ➡️ Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset.

3️⃣連貫性
🔻寫 reasons同impact段落之間加transitional paragraph (過渡段)
🔻句子與句子之間有意識地多用唔同connectives
e.g. 對比關係：in contrast, despite,
因果關係：in light of, on the grounds that, thanks to, due to

Suggest 後面加 to 定 ing？
🚨超多人搞錯！

你有冇試過講：”I suggest you to try this.”？
好多人咁寫，但其實利個寫法係錯grammar架！

正確用法：
1️⃣Suggest+ gerund (動名詞) (i.e. v+ing)
✅I suggest trying this app.

2️⃣Suggest後面 + ‘that’ clause
✅I suggest that you try this app.

🧠簡單記住：Suggest 後面係 gerund 或者 that-clause，永遠唔加 to！

🧠作文經常會用到的爆point思路：培養Soft Skills (軟技能/非技術技能) 🧠

E.g. 2017Q5: Watching TV Makes Us Smarter (論證睇電視令人更聰明)
➡️電視有talk show
➡️聽到唔同人係一啲爭議性事件上既意見
➡️幫助建立批判性思考 (critical thinking skill)。

📌Soft Skill: Critical thinking skills (批判性思考)

📝 Watching TV programmes such as talk shows allows us to listen to different opinions on controversial issues, which helps to build critical thinking skills.
