  1. 我親愛的職二外三A同學:
    為師在此向你拜一個早年,恭賀新禧,牛年扭轉乾坤,萬事如意!

    這個留言是要提醒你,請多利用年假時間,寫English blog,以免開學後事情多,壓縮寫作時間。

    還有再次提醒你,我們下學期「高級英文閱讀」寒假作業Book Review做法:
    1. 為提升閱讀能力,強化寫作練習,並且有效利用春節假期,希望同學利用寒假時間閱讀至少一本書並且撰寫book review一篇。這項作業將於開學我們第一次見面時收,就是2月21日(星期六);作業成績將佔97(二)「高級英文閱讀」總成績10%。本項作業不接受補交,當日未繳,就沒有這10%的成績。
    2. 讀什麼書:歐美通俗或經典小說、暢銷書(含理財、通俗心理學等)頁數150以上皆可。唯不可以是教科書。
    3. 撰寫格式:
    1) 為了防制「複製」、「貼上」,一律手寫;字體大小14 pt.;單行間距;至少寫滿三張A4。
    2) 內容:
    1. Title
    2. Author
    3. Publisher
    4. Date of publication
    5. No. of pages
    6. Major characters
    7. Plot summary
    8. Comments (至少一頁)

    3) 為了確定你讀了此書,請附一張你和這本書合照的列印。
