請利用 30 秒的時間看圖及問題，再利用 1分半鐘的時間說出答案！

1. Where are these people? 這些人在哪裡？

2. What are they doing over there?　他們在做什麼呢？

3. What do they put in the cart?　他們放了什麼在推車中？

4. Have you ever been there before in Taiwan?　在台灣，你是否曾經到過相類似的地方？

5. What will you buy if you go there? 假如你到那，你將買什麼東西？

~ 從連接詞的結構談句子的對稱 ~

這個部份，一但你學會了，寫作時也比較不會出問題，否則很多同學，寫作時，

前後的動詞時態不一致；連接詞連接的詞性不一致；

很重要哦！

example: 他既不打籃球也不打棒球。

à He played neither basketball nor baseball. R

He neither played basketball nor baseball. Q

 neither ~ nor ~ 所對比的東西要前後對稱；neither 之後接名詞，nor 之後亦要接名詞；

exercise 2:  她既精通英文又精通日文。

exercise 3: 我很猶豫，不知道究竟應該出國深造呢，還是找個工作做才好。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Answers:

1. Vacation is a time for resting the mind and strengthening the physical power R

Vacation is a time for resting the mind and to strengthen the physical power.  Q

2.  She is at home in both English and Japanese. R

She is at home both in English and Japanese. Q

both ~ and ~ 前後要一致

3.  I was uncertain whether to  study abroad or to find a job. R

I was uncertain whether I should go abroad for study or to find a job.  Q

whether ~ or  ~ 前後不一致；前句 whether  是完整子句；但之後變成 不定詞！

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

由以上的例子可知，對等連接詞　

前後的詞性 (動詞，形容詞，名詞，副詞) / 片語 / 句子都要平衡！

Business English Websites：

如果你現在正在準備TOEIC 的考試，那麼 Ally 會推薦你善用以下的商業方面的網頁；

因為有學員會說：”那我聽 ICRT 可不可啊？” 或者，"我有在聽空中英語雜誌/ Time/...

等等其它的英語雜誌，可不可呢？"Ally 不敢跟你說 ICRT 及這些雜誌不可以，但只是

暫時非常地不適合罷了！因為畢竟要考 TOEIC ，所以準備方向還是要對，因此還是

要針對工商業方面的字彙閱讀文章及聽力等等來著手；若你心有餘力，當然要再多聽

多看，那些相關的資源都是可以同時進行及利用的！
