Story Telling Skill : The magic power - Turn facts into magics - Part 2

Discussion : Life Is Beautiful - 
Paragraph 3: Fifty minutes into ...
Paragraph 4 : Guido is well aware of..
Paragraph 6 : Life is Beautiful also  makes a telling....

Practice : Think of something you do in your daily life, better to be something boring or bad.  Add some positive think/ magic/ fun/ joy  into it.

量子英語力:看文章時請不要把每個英文字都要翻成中文,因為中文比英文豐富許多,而各位的中文程度比英文好,要把精靈放入神燈不是一件簡單的事,所以不要用「準備英文檢定考試」的方法來學習「英語」,各位在練習「英語」不是「英文」。

Story Telling Skill : The magic power - Turn facts into magics - Part 1

Discussion : Life Is Beautiful - 
2)Movie Clip :Favorite Scene(有英文字幕English Subtitles)
3) Movie Review - by James Berardinelli : 上課會上請同學自行印出:第二段﹣Life is Beautiful starts out like a..., 第三段:Fifty minutes into .... 第四段 Guido is well aware of what is happening,.....

量子英語力:不要把單字100%查出來,請先了解故事大綱並把不會的單字劃線就好,了解大綱後,再去查很卡的單字即可(注意是「很卡」)﹣去百貨公司買東西時是挑你要的,不是把百貨公司的東西100%買下來。而初~中高級講英語就像是走秀一樣,把準備好的講出來。中高級以上的就是行雲流水,表達觀點了(不過要先有觀點la)。

        Story Telling - 120111

        Hi Class,
        I would like to continue the topic we haven't finished last week - one story one message.  Having said that, I would also want to make good use of the books you have bought.  So here are the things you can go through before our class.

        1. Bring the book - Innovations  and please read " The best place I've ever stayed" on page 94
        2. If you have time, please watch this clip : How to pack everything for your vacation into your carry-on?
        3. I would also like you to tell us the story of your favorite trip.

        If you don't have time to read or watch before hand, that's ok.  Don't worry or feel guilty.  Just come to the class and participate our activities with all your heart.

        Enjoy yourself.  See you tomorrow.
