Which would you prefer, a dog or a video game console? Why?
1.
選擇
I prefer a video game console.
2.
比較
I think dogs are lovely, but I don’t want to keep a dog. To start with, I have an
allergic nose.
Also, I don’t think I will be a good dog owner. I am always busy with my

So, even if I have free time, I would rather play video games.

video games? Well, let me tell you the reasons.
5.
解釋原因
First of all, I enjoy playing video games because it helps me relax.
Also, this is a great chance to kill time with my friends. We have established a
good friendship through playing the games.
6.
舉例子
You know, there’s a very famous football game called Winning Eleven. It’s
cool to have the chance to control my favourite team in the game and
compete with my friends.

That’s why I would choose a video game console.
18
If you were given the chance, would you like to be a singer? Why or why not?
1.
選擇
That’s a good question. I think I would not become a singer.
2.
原因一
The main reason is that people’s tastes change very quickly.
If you are popular today, it doesn’t mean that you will be popular forever.
In fact, many singers who appeared to be promising at the beginning have
already faded out.
Real superstars such as Sam Hui, Alan Tam, who are always remembered by
people, are only rare examples.
3.
原因二
I’m not the kind of person who’s willing to take risk.
I just want a stable job.
4.
相反觀點
Of course, you may think it’s a pity if I really have a talent for singing.
5.
讓步
After all, no one wants to waste his talent.
6.
駁論
But let’s be realistic. Just having a talent for singing does not mean that you
will become a successful singer.
Well, I mean appearance is far more important than talent nowadays.
7.
舉例子
In Hong Kong, only beautiful or handsome singers can become popular.
8.
總結
Obviously, I am not that attractive at all.
19
2.
假設
If you fail to enter university, what will you do? Why?
1.
第一選擇
Retaking the HKDSE will be the most suitable for me.
2.
解釋原因
I expect that my results won’t be too bad even if I fail to enter university
through jupas.
If I learn from this experience, I will have a much better chance of making it
next year.
3.
第二選擇
Of course, in case my results are far from satisfactory, I will be convinced that
I am not good at traditional subjects. So, I will join Project Yi Jin or apply for a
place at IVE.
4.
解釋原因
Because at IVE, I can choose the subjects that interest me.
5.
不會選擇
However, I won’t look for a job.
6.
解釋原因
It is because I don’t think I am ready to work at such an early age.
Besides, I want to further my studies to enhance my competitiveness.

3.
發表意見
Do you think it is a good idea for students to attend tutorial schools?
1.
表明立場
Yes, I think it’s a great idea.
2.
解釋原因
It’s extremely important for students to do well in exams.
You know, tutorial schools are very skillful at helping students get good exam
results.
The reason is that they employ high-quality tutors, who are extremely
familiar with the public exam systems. They can teach students useful exam
skills.
3.
相反觀點
You may think that it is not a healthy phenomenon if we put too much
emphasis on exam results.
4.
讓步
Well, this is quite true.
I agree that we need time to participate in extra-curricular activities in order
to unearth our potential.
5.
駁論
However, as students, we should care about our studies.
Only hardworking students will attend tutorial schools.
Also, tutorial schools are not necessarily an obstacle to whole person
education.
6.
個人經歷
For example, even though I often take tutorial classes, I am the captain of my
school’s basketball team and have participated in many competitions.
7.
總結
Therefore, it’s just a matter of time management.
21
Do you think pollution is serious in your district?
1.
表明立場
Yes, it’s extremely serious indeed.
Mong Kok is one of the most polluted districts in Hong Kong.
2.
解釋原因
There are too many vehicles which emit pollutants.
As a result, the air quality in Mong Kok is unacceptably poor.
3.
影響
In fact, pollution affects our life in many ways.
Pollution serious impairs our health.
4.
例子
Take air pollution as an example.
It makes us suffocate.
Worse still, it poses a lot of dangers to people suffering from respiratory
diseases.
5.

hospitalized.
6.
解決方法
Both the government and individuals can help to solve the problem.
For the government, it should enforce strict laws to make sure that no one
will harm the environment any more.
For individuals, we can protect the environment by using fewer plastic bags
and more environmentally friendly products.
7. 總結
With the efforts of the government and the public, I am sure that we can
alleviate the pollution problem in my district.

解釋現象
What are the causes of juvenile delinquency?
1.
說明原因
There are two main causes, that is, lack of parental care and too much
parental care.
2.
原因一
On one hand, lack of parental care contributes to juvenile delinquency.
Parents should certainly show their concern for their children so that they
can grow up healthily.
But many parents in Hong Kong are so busy with their work that they seldom
spend time with their children.
Having no one to teach them what is right and wrong, they go astray easily.
As a result, they will commit crimes.
3.
原因二
On the other hand, some parents really care a lot about their children.
However, they spoil them to the extent that they can do whatever they like.
Gradually, their children become selfish and irresponsible.
4.
總結
To conclude, too much or too little parental care can cause teenage crimes.

好處/壞處
What are the benefits of reading?
1.
好處 1
First of all, reading enriches our knowledge.
2.
解釋
This is the reason why reading is a crucial part of education.
3.
好處 2
Apart from this, reading keeps our minds active.
4.
解釋
When we are reading expository books, we are actually doing research
ourselves.
We need to think the subject over and make judgment ourselves.
On the other hand, if we are reading story books, we have to imagine scenes
in the book.
5.
好處 3
Lastly, reading enlarges our vocabulary.
6.
解釋
When we read, we will come across many new words.
After learning these words, we can improve our language ability.
Better still, if we read constantly, we will find that some words appear again
and again.
This makes it easier for us to remember them since we absorb them
naturally.
Thus, reading is a very effective way to learn new words.
7.
總結
As reading can bring us some many advantages, I read books regularly.

建議
How can we cope with the problem of bullying in school?
1.
建議 1
Social workers and counselors can help a lot.
2.
其他人論點
Of course, many people believe that counseling should be given to victims in
order to cure their psychological wounds.
They are right in pointing out victims’ need for assistance.
3.
自己論點 +
However, the most important thing to do is help bullies lead a healthy school
建議內容
life.
Hence, there is a need for social workers to give counseling to bullies.
As a result, the social workers can correct their twisted values.
They can talk to them so as to understand why they bully and help them
solve their problems.
4.
建議好處
When bullies feel that there are people who truly care about them, their
behavior will improve.
When there are no bullies, there will be no victims at all.
5.
建議 2
In addition, schools should report serious bullying cases to the police.
6.
解釋原因
They should bear in mind that bullying can be a crime.
In the most serious cases, it is even related to the triads.
When it comes to handling crimes, the school should not hesitate to
cooperate with the police.
7.
建議內容
Detecting bullying cases relies on the observation of teachers.
They should pay attention to the behaviour of their students.
8.
總結
With the efforts of social workers and schools, we can alleviate the problem
of bullying.

個人經歷
Do you think that you have a good relationship with your parents?
1.
簡短回答
No, I am afraid not.
2.
原因一
My parents are so busy with their work that they seldom spend time with
me.
3.
解釋
My father is a businessman who has to go to China frequently for his work.
Very often, he returns home so late that I can’t even have dinner with him.
In fact, he sometimes has to stay in China for a few weeks.
As a result, it is not easy for us to find the time to talk to each other.
4.
原因二
Worst of all, my parents don’t really understand me.
5.
解釋
For example, Dad and Mom never allow me to stay out late with friends.
But young people are very outgoing and energetic.
They should know that staying home all the time will bore me to death.
They worry that I may do bad things outside.
But I can say with a clear conscience that my friends and I won’t do anything
bad.
In fact, we often study together in public libraries.
So, I cannot see any problem.
6.
期望
I really hope that my parents will spend more time with me and understand
my feelings.
