托福 (TOEFL) 班的學生,在生日當天得知考了114分,真的好替他開心。真是比任何東西更棒的生日禮物了! 另外一位數學系的學生,昨日出分也考到了101分,really happy for them!
像這樣的TOEFL學霸,通常準備時有怎樣的特質呢?
我常常發現他們在不管在上課、還是私下練習時,當然除了一定交作業外,常常會有以下的6個特質:
1. They identify (找出) and reflect upon (反思) their weaknesses (弱點).
(不要盲目刷題。在學習裡頭,quantity (練習量) 雖然有一定重要性,但最後要突破時,quality 比 quantity 重要,一定要認真檢討錯誤。)
練習10篇Independent Writing,倒不如練習3篇,每次都寫 first draft, second draft, final draft, 觀察其中的變化,記得寫出好文章的感覺和關鍵點。
2. They take corrective feedback (糾正、反饋) seriously so that they don't make the same mistake(s) in their future production, or in the future.
(Corrective feedback 可來自兩方面:一方面是像寫TPO錯的題目,這是一種來自考試的feedback; 另一方面是來自於一起練習的同學、老師等的feedback)
3. They push the envelope (不斷突破自己).
(更細的說,練習如果很舒服,那大概沒什麼效。越辛苦的練習,常常學習效果越好; 例如,看著 transcript 聽,雖然是練習聽力很重要的一個步驟。但因為這樣的練習相對不難,挫折感不低,很多同學就一直這樣練,最後還是成效有限。真正難的是練習「預測內容」、「總結主題」、「回想資訊」這種,願意去做這樣的努力的,最後成效通常比較好。但這些練習,會讓準備「有點辛苦」)
4. They think critically about what testing strategies work better if not best for them.
5. They are aware of the significance of the role of repetition in learning and practicing, and they, from time to time, practice only one thing at a time, deliberately and intensively.
("重覆" 這件事,扮演著學習很重要的角色。如上頭所述,例如在練口說第4題時,如果前頭的定義給的不是很好,可以集中練習這方面的技能。我說「技能」?對,因為托福雖然是語言考試,但也考了很多台灣同學「母語中文」都做不來的技能,像「總結」等等。
6. They neither give up easily, nor give in to the ETS easily. They have the stick-to-it-ness required of a successful graduate student.
Good luck with your learning!

今天下午我和POLO已是第三次來到國稅局,包括信義區,大安區!
國稅局承辦人員們的態度非常良好,對中文不好的我和POLO特別有耐心,非常感謝!
因為今年有人蓄意編造謊言並公開爆料不實言論,甚至預謀並濫用同樣罹患胃癌的Vicky的同情同理心,浪費了我們拼命想盡辦法籌措對方癌末陳姓病妻赴日醫療費的真心誠意,又對媒體謊稱我們要經營夜店及非法公開我們籌備多年的電影侵權等相關事件...
因我和POLO是美籍身分,在台任何投資都需經由投審會審核,資金也需自海外匯入款項至相關合法公司。
我們已提呈近幾年的金流明細及所有涉及的人物事證等相關資料,以配合調查!
我香港出生,美國籍,但我在台灣深耕30年了,ㄧ生謹守本份,低調專注音樂事業。
我們隱忍這麼久是因爲仍盡心力給予機會和寬容體諒。
我們感謝Vicky 和專業會計師的嚴格把關。這麼多年來,不怕得罪人,不妥協地保護我和POLO的合法權益。
另外,先前我們所有公開聲明內容,若有任何不實,我們願意公開所有事證並負擔法律責任!
凡走過必留下痕跡....
忙了ㄧ下午,到誠品買了書,現在終於又可以繼續到錄音室繼續我們最喜愛的錄音工作了...
再次感謝大家的支持!
This afternoon was the third time POLO and I went to the National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, including the Xinyi and Daan Branches. Thank you to the wonderful staff, for having a great attitude and being patient, especially since our Chinese is not very fluent. Because someone had deliberately publicized fabricated false information stating we plan to open and invest in a night club, along with leaking confidential information of our film project, we have submitted information, evidence, and details of all parties involves over the years and financial statements to cooperate with this investigation. Also, since POLO and I are American Citizens, all our investments must be reviewed by the “Investment Commission, MOEA”, and our investments must come from overseas and deposited into a legal company with the proper licenses.
Thank you, Vicky and our professional accountants, for always guiding us through each step, and always doing your best to ensure our rights and interests are being protected.
In addition, we are willing to disclose any evidence and bear legal responsibilities for our public statements.
There is always an evidence trail to actions…
After a busy afternoon, we are excited to finally continue recording and composing again!!
Thank you all for your support!
❤️🎶💪

If HK has shortage of land then why the government is deliberately underestimating the development potential of brownfield sites?
真係冇地咩? 善用棕地, 解決房屋問題!
.
#SaveOurCountryParks #守衛郊野公園 #郊野公園不是選項
.
723 hectares of brownfield sites are not included in any government development project. Instead they keep saying to develop on the "periphery" of our country parks
新界明明有723公頃棕地可以納入發展, 解決房屋問題. 但政府偏偏一意孤行硬係要發展郊野公園邊陲

有些人會說:「如果朝鮮不是獨裁國家的話,為什麼不給外國旅客自由行呢?為什麼大部分電腦都沒連上境外的互聯網呢?」我希望那些人從不同的角度來思考這些問題。二戰期間的同盟國會開放自己的國家給德國、意大利和日本觀光客自由行嗎?別忘了,朝鮮戰爭只有停火,沒有停戰。
假如互聯網是在 1930 年代的德國發明的,而非 20 世紀下半葉的美國,而德國情報機構能暗中監督和控制一切連上該網路的任何設備(正如斯諾登透露美國國安局所做的那樣),同盟國會讓一般老百姓連上同個互聯網嗎?還是他們會跟朝鮮一樣建設自己的網路?
朝鮮是個小國家。雖然它從 1953 年一直呼籲正式停戰,但它從 1950 年到現在一直與大部分西方國家處於戰爭狀態。只要戰爭狀態不變,這些政策不是「反自由」的,而是任何理性的政府(無論是資本主義國家還是社會主義國家)會施行的防禦性措施。
誰是朋友?誰是敵人?
Who are our friends? Who are our enemies?
我們能否 追究這個問題而不自欺欺人
Can we look into this question without lying to ourselves?
誰的盟友?誰的利潤?
Whose allies? Whose profits?
是誰激於義憤而爭鬥和犧牲
Whose struggle and sacrifice are stirred by righteous indignation?
1.
饒舌的激進份子 被說是憤世
The radical rapper is said to be cynical.
我只想引人深思 和去偽存實
I just want to get people to think, cast aside falsities, and retain the truths,
因為從小到大有太多虛偽人士
because througout our lives, too many hypocrites
灌輸錯誤認識 使人愚昧無知
have instilled false understandings, causing us to ignorantly
地無視 顯而易見 的壓迫和暴行
disregard the clearly visible oppression and atrocities,
使人固執己見 而失去批判思考力
causing us to stubbornly cling to our own opinions and lose our ability to think critically.
一旦遇到陌生的意見 認知就失調
When we encounter unfamiliar opinions, we experience cognitive dissonance.
變本加厲地延伸原本的錯誤視角
Doubling down on our mistaken views
成為了心理防禦機制 也使我們無意識地
has become a psychological defense mechanism which causes us to unknowingly
成為壓迫自己的體制的棋子
become pawns of the system that oppresses us
即使我們自以為自己是正義的義士
although we think of ourselves as just and morally courageous people,
但其實是我們迷失於斷章取義的歷史
it is actually us who are lost in deliberately misinterpreted history.
而敵視 並歧視 被壓迫的各國人民
We vilify and discriminate against the oppressed peoples of all countries;
自以為仁義 卻把壓迫者 奉若神明
we think we are righteous, yet we deify the oppressors.
不分明侵略和防禦只要求無條件的和平
We don't differentiate between aggression and defense, we simply ask for unprincipled peace,
得到奴隸主的肯定不過不被他們尊敬
gaining the approval of slave masters but not their respect.
2.
監禁率最高的國家被當作自由象徵
The country with the highest incarceration rate is considered to be a symbol of freedom;
最常推翻民選政府的它被當作摯友良朋
we call it our friend as it leads in overthrowing democratically elected governments.
我們只有盲人摸象般稱頌或貶斥
We make praises and criticisms based on conclusions made from bad information,
偏執地不檢視騙子掩飾的現實
stubbornly refusing to investigate the truths hidden by liars.
別人飢餓 我們說是領導人無人性
When others starve, we say their leaders are devoid of humanity
卻不記得制裁的目的 是經過餓死人民
while failing to remember that the goal of sanctions is to sabotage stability
破壞穩定 以迫使 革命群眾 放棄革命
through starvation in order to extort the revolutionary masses into giving up revolution.
如果這不是恐怖主義 那麼你的定義可能有問題
If this isn't terrorism, then your definition might be flawed.
我問你 唯一動用核武器的到底是誰?
I ask you, who is the only one to have used nuclear weapons?
為何朝鮮發展核武就被認為是罪?
Why is it considered a crime when (DPR) Korea develops nukes?
誰的奴性思維被支配得顛倒是非
Whose slave mentality's been been dominated to the point where right and wrong are inverted,
使我們把自衛視為威脅 把威脅視為慈悲?
having us believe defense is threatening and threats are benevolent?
是誰不知不覺地在重複戈培爾所起草
Who unknowingly repeats lies written by Goebbels
的流言蜚語的同時說別人被洗腦
while at the same time calling others brainwashed,
並對用著堅如鐵的毅力英勇地起義
while unreasonably being hostile towards those who use their iron-firm willpower
驅逐侵略者的人民無理地壞有敵意?
to heroically drive out aggressors through rebellion?
