當中學生這樣學英文 – 高一

🎈影片呈現高一學員閱讀有關馬里亞內海溝的英文文章後,製作成大綱,按照大綱練習演說,以英文介紹馬里亞納海溝。這是真實作業情形,學員仍有進步空間,但是不斷做這樣的創造性輸出,掙扎難免但必能有效進步。

在EFL台灣<全文輸入輸出訓練>能提升使用英文準確性提升考試成績,也能培養演說能力提升未來競爭力。

為何捕鯨業仍然存在於先進國家?

Why are advanced countries still whaling?

Key Word

  1. hacktivist 激進駭客
  2. baffle 困惑
  3. are opposed to 反對
  4. justification 合理化說詞
  5. sustainable 永續的
  6. minke whale 小須鯨
  7. fin whale長鬚鯨

A “hacktivist" group recently took down many Icelandic government websites, in protest at the country’s practice of whaling.

In fact, Iceland is not the only country that still practices whaling: Japan and Norway also do so. This often baffles people from elsewhere. We wonder why are the countries still whaling if most counties are opposed to it.

Iceland’s whalers are legally allowed to hunt 154 fin whales and 229 minke whales. Icelanders usually offer two justifications. First, there are too many whales in the ocean and they eat all the fish. Second, Icelanders do not eat whale meat: it is the tourists that do that.

That first claim is arguable. The second is largely true. According to an official report, 35-40% of visitors to Iceland eat whale meat. And minke whales are found in all of the world’s oceans. There are over 100,000 minke whales in the wild. And although Fin whales are an endangered species based on the remaining number of them around the world, the fin whale population in North Atlantic is considered healthy. For that reason, hunting fin whales around Iceland is not a conservation threat. So, to Icelandic whalers, when they talk about whaling, they talk about whaling a particular population, not a species.

Whaling is a long tradition in Iceland and Icelanders think that they can use marine resources, as long as they do it in a sustainable and responsible way. The Japanese and Norwegian governments take a similar attitude towards whaling.

提升國際競爭力 加入超凡遠距 

為台灣人 打開世界之門

迎向全球化的未來,我們相信:語言,是台灣人才走向世界的關鍵橋樑。

超凡遠距創辦人Paul Lee

我是 超凡遠距創辦人 Paul Lee

我曾想像——
如果,我們的大學生在校期間就具備與世界接軌的語言能力,台灣的工程師、護理師、行銷專才就能自信地在德國、挪威,或世界任何角落展現實力,推廣我們的專業與文化。
如果,台灣的孩子不必出國,也能自在地用英語與來自各地的學子交流,英語就能成為他們手中真正的競爭工具,而不再只是升學考試的壓力來源。

三十年前,我從事建築業時,看見台灣許多優秀的專業人才,因為缺乏實用英語訓練,被貼上「英語能力不佳」的標籤。這不是他們的錯,而是我們長期忽略了「應用導向」的語言教育環境。

我自己來自屏東鄉下的一個養豬養雞的家庭。國一才學會 ABC,但我父親常對我說:「好好學英文,那是未來。」
他的這句話,成為我一生的方向指引。我靠著閱讀與練習將所讀翻譯成另一語言的「土方法」,慢慢奠定了語言能力,也發展出今日「全文本輸入輸出訓練」的雛型。

十年前,我開始全力推動這套針對EFL國家(英語為外國語言)設計的訓練法,專注訓練英語說寫輸出能力。這不只是背單字、學文法,而是透過真實語境的「聽-說-讀-寫」全流程訓練,幫助學員真正能流暢表達。

在這個過程中,我也成為 Toastmasters 的一員。這個國際演講組織讓我更加明白:語言,不只是溝通,更是自信的展現。我也把這份體悟融入課程設計中,幫助每一位學員「不只是會說英語,而是能清楚說出自己想法」。

至今,我們已協助數百位學員,在短短幾個月內大幅提升英語說寫能力。無論你是工程師、設計師、行銷人員,這套系統都能幫助你突破語言障礙,加速接軌國際。

這,就是我們創立超凡遠距的初衷與使命。
我們會持續優化、持續前進,只為幫助更多台灣人才,說出自己的英語,走向更大的世界!

請聯絡我們讓我們進一步為您提供更詳細資訊

你是擁有整片大海的小水滴!

Vocabulary

You Are Not A Drop In The Ocean.

Key Word

  1. routine例行工作
  2. perspective觀點
  3. vast浩瀚
  4. trivial微不足道
  5. individual個體

This sentence made me stop from my busy routine.  I never thought about life from this perspective.  People do think of themselves as a tiny drop in the vast human ocean.  After all, there are so many people around us and more successful than us. Now what does it mean to be the entire ocean in one drop?

How can we carry the entire world within us?

Think of our life, the trips we make, the tears we cry, the laughter we share, the people we meet, the love we give and take. Don’t they mean anything?

We ARE a drop in the ocean. However, when we think of ourselves as nothing better than a drop in the ocean, we are telling ourselves that our actions or words are trivial.

When we think the other way around, as the entire ocean in a drop, we feel our value as an individual, no matter whether we are successful or not at the moment.

英雄精神不滅!

Every Story Comes to An End,
But Its Spirit Doesn’t.

Key Word

  1. compelling令人信服的
  2. struggle掙扎
  3. isolation孤立
  4. outcast受排斥的人

To make a story compelling, there needs to be a character, who goes through a great struggle and changes due to life experiences. On the life journey, the character starts off in a bad position often in isolation. Then they learn and grow. They end up internally changed.

Such is the case of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, a character who throughout the course of seven seasons has faced a number of challenges that have tested his leadership and abilities. The series of Game of Thrones has come to an end.

No matter how the story ends, we audience have experienced a lonely outcast becoming the possible savior of the world. And after the HBO series end, the journey of a hero will still last in the audience’s mind in different ways.

不出國成為英語高手:摘要訓練

🎈Better Life, Better English!
如果我們及我們的孩子都這樣學習英文,那我們的大學畢業生就已經做好跟世界接軌的準備,最重要的是學習英文不再只是為了英文,而是學習生活中的一切!

影片中的主講人在屏東鄉下長大,從來不曾出國留學或在英語系國家常住,靠自創運用英語的環境也能將英文提升到非常高的程度。

女性撐起半邊天

Key words
war-torn受戰爭蹂躪的
demonstrate展示;示威
domestic violence家庭暴力
rampant猖獗的

❤️“Women hold up half the sky.”

The sentence is being passed down not because Mao Tse-Tung said it, but because it is what is happening today. From war-torn south America, where women demonstrate for peace to protect their children, to poor rural India, where girls spend all day walking miles collecting water for family, instead of going to school. Men and women each take responsibility in different ways for their own part in order to hold up the sky together. Men and women are surely different. Just because men and women are different, they are able to compensate for the disadvantages of each other to form a perfect whole. They both should value this truth.

Today, even if domestic violence is still rampant in some places in the world, ❤️men know very well that they can never hold up the sky without women.

中英對照

Women hold up half the sky!
女性撐起半邊天

The sentence is being passed down not because Mao Tse-Tung said it, but because it is what is happening today.
這個句子不斷流傳,並不是因為說這句話的人是毛澤東,而是因為這是今天的真實樣貌。

From war-torn south America, where women demonstrate for peace to protect their children, to poor rural India, where girls spend all day walking miles collecting water for family, instead of going to school.
從受到戰爭揉躪的南美洲,女性為了保護孩子而示威爭取和平,到印度的偏遠貧窮地區,那兒的女孩花一整天的時間走好幾英哩取水供家裡使用,而沒能上學。

Men and women each take responsibility in different ways for their own part in order to hold up the sky together.
男性及女性各自以不同的方式負起責任盡本分來一起撐起那一片天。

Men and women are surely different.
男性跟女性的確是不同的。

Just because men and women are different, they are able to compensate for the disadvantages of each other to form a perfect whole.
正是因為男女不同,他們能夠互補彼此不足來形成美好的整體。

They both should value this truth. Today even if domestic violence is still rampant in some places in the world, men know very well that they can never hold up the sky without women.
男性女性都應該重視這個事實。今天即使家庭暴力在世界上有些地方仍然猖獗,男性心裡非常明白,沒有女性,他們絕對沒有辦法獨立撐起那一片天。

提升國際競爭力 加入超凡遠距

無論您是(1)注重口說寫作的國高中生; (2)提升競爭力的英文老師; (3)努力成為各科雙語老師; 或(4)提升專業英語說寫能力的碩博生或社會人士。請洽客製化訓練課程詢問專線

⭐超凡遠距要為您做些甚麼?

🎁我們在雲端做到實體教室做不到的英語說寫訓練!

全球學習英語人口持續快速成長,過去排斥英語的國家也鼓勵學習英文,例如2.6億人口回教大國印尼也認同英語是世界語言而非某個強權的國語。

台灣的多數學童從幼稚園開始接觸英文,這是一個無可避免的過程,我們可以利用這個過程做幾件事情:

  1. 彌補數位學習所造成的中文閱讀不足:國小高年級開始的英語教育應該著重閱讀理解,傳遞有益於未來發展的資訊。
  2. 接觸專業領域資訊:中學起應該在英語學習過程中開始接觸科學、商業、史地等專業領域資訊,提升未來競爭力。
  3. 將英語學習成就以及未來競爭力的兩極連接:也就是將傳統準備段考的填鴨學習以及英文美語會話的兩個極端連結,真正在學習過程中既能準備學校段考,又能為未來競爭力做準備。

遠距課程規劃達成下列三點:

  1. 全文輸入輸出訓練:BN設計基礎到高級的數千篇全文文章作為訓練文本,以全文聽讀輸文,再以全文說寫輸出,達到英語訓練與閱讀理解兩者兼具的目的。這些文本從中級階段開始與科學、商業、人文等領域做結合,達成英語訓練與專業領域訓練兩者兼具的目的。
  2. 個人化課程設計:BN發展八項全文輸入輸出訓練課程,學習者依照本身的學習目的及弱點強化進行訓練,分別是(1) 英譯中錄音 (2) 中譯英錄音 (3) 聽與說逐步口譯 (4) 中譯英筆譯 (5) 英文摘要訓練 (6) 主題式寫作 (7) 中提示演說 (8) 三分鐘演說。
  3. 學習網站:在本學習網站https://bnlanguage.blog/建立文法教學影片及各項學習重點,同時設計線上模擬考幫助學習者準備段考、升學考、檢定考。

進行這些訓練有幾項特色:

  1. 文本進行訓練為主,不是線上學習。
  2. 聽說讀寫核心訓練作為高階學習的基礎。
  3. 雲端繳交說寫作業,英語教練提供改善建議。
  4. 聽、說、讀、寫單項訓練可依個人程度調整。
  5. 財經、科技、通識三大類專業領域訓練。
  6. 訓練數量計算學習費用,學習者安心接受訓練。

接受訓練3個月,英語說寫輸出量是過去多年學習的總和。
