What is a New Year’s Resolution?
什麼是新年新希望？
For many people, the first day of the year is a time to “start fresh”. That is, a time to examine your life and decide what things you can do to make yourself a better person. When you make a promise to yourself to change your life for the better, it is called a New Year’s Resolution.
對許多人而言，一年的第一天就是新的開始。一年的開始也是一個可檢視自己生活及決定如何提升自己的好時間。當對自己承諾要改變並且提升自生活時，此決心便稱之為新年新希望。

同學們， surprised 和surprising 都表示驚訝的意思，但什麼時候用surprised?什麼時候用surprising呢?
來看看這兩個例句:
We are all surprised by the news.(= We feel surprised) 我們對這新聞感到很驚訝。
The news is surprising.(=The news makes us feel surprised.) 這新聞真令人驚訝。
發現哪裡不一樣了嗎?用來形容人的感覺時，要用ed；形容事情或東西時則要用ing哦。
It’s Christmas time!
聖誕節到了!
What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear the word Christmas? It could be jolly Christmas carols, colorful fairy lights hanging all around, presents under the Christmas tree or even beautiful white snow. The traditional imagery of Christmas is a little different in South Africa because unlike most countries, Christmas in South Africa is not cold and snowy but really warm and sunny.
當你聽到聖誕節時，你第一時間聯想到的是什麼呢？可能是想到歡樂的聖誕歌曲，色彩繽紛如天使般的掛架燈飾，聖誕樹下的禮物還是美麗的白雪。在南非傳統的聖誕節與人們印象中的聖誕節有一點不同，因為不像其它大部份的國家，在南非的聖誕節是不冷或不下雪的而且是很溫暖晴朗的。
Start with what you know
從你知道的開始學習 │by Aaron
English has over one million words, twelve different verb tenses, hundreds of informal idioms, thousands of slang words, lots of jargon, and on top of all that, it comes from several different root languages, so it doesn’t always make sense to ESL students (or English teachers). Learning English is not going to be easy.
英文包含超過了一百萬個單字、十二個不同的動詞時態、數百個不規則的成語、數千個諺語及很多的專業術語。更重要的是，英文字源自數個不同的語言，所以對以英文為第二外語的學生或老師而言並不容易了解。學習英文並不簡單。
