why Blogger

現在有這麼多家BSP,為什麼要用blogger呢?

其實之前的部落格放在無名,有一陣子比較忙沒去登錄,等到要去發表文章時,竟然跟我說超過90天,文章都被回收了,只有付費才能救回來,好想哭阿!

從那時候起就一直在尋找一個靠得住的BSP。聽一個網友說,他的部落格一年多沒登入也沒被砍,他是用Blogger。所以就毅然決然地投入Blogger的懷抱。誰知道版面竟然這麼陽春,害人家改得好辛苦阿!

本日改版與相關教學如下:

shade vs. shadow

shade vs. shadow?
posted by MAS1981 on 8/12 5:06 AM

Alice laid down in the ____ of the tree and fell asleep quickly. (A)branch (B)shadow (C)leaf (D)shade The answer is D. What can't I choose shadow? What's the difference between "shade" and "shadow"? How to discriminate between shade from shadow? Thank you very much.

D. is the corect answer. If you put "shadow" in the blank, you would have a sentence that is technically correct from a purely grammatical point of view, but such a sentence would not be appropriate. Again, this comes down to usage versus grammar. Tradition dictates that "shade" be used in this context rather than "shadow." As to the difference between the words. They mean basically the same thing, but "shadow" has very negative connotations, while "shade" has generally pleasant or neutral connotations. "Shadow" has dark and scary implications. The sentence "Alice laid down in the shadow of the tree and fell asleep quickly." might be used in a horror story, where the author is trying to create an ominous and sinister mood. "Shadows" have a creepy connotation--you seek the shade of a tree, which implies something pleasant, relief from the heat; you don't seek the shadow of a tree, that would be ominous

rumor has it that

I don't understand this grammar
posted by MAS1981 on 10/5 10:02 PM

"More recently, Puss-in-Boots appeared in the movie Shrek 3, and rumor has it that he may soon star in his own film."--From Studio Classroom "rumor has it that..." Why not using "rumor says that..."? In what situation I would use this sentence pattern? Thank you.

The phrase "rumor has it that" is one of the many colloquial expressions in the English language. Like most colloquial expressions, it makes little or no grammatical sense--that's just the way the expression evolved over hundreds of years of tradition and usage. The phrase "rumor says that"--a seemingly viable expression--is not used in the English language. Tthere is no logical explanation for why it is not used; that's just how it is in the language. The expression means something like: "some people are claiming that," or "incomplete information that we have obtained indicates that," or "unsubstantiated reports indicate that," etc. The emphasis here is on the unsubstantiated nature of the claim, so much so, that one should not take the claim too seriously. The phrase is used in situations where you want to put forth some possibility, but with the emphasis that it is unsubstantiated, and that the hearer should not take it as an established fact. For example: Last night X was seen out on the town with Y. Rumor has it that they are an item (a couple). Yesterday X was seen coming out of the offices of Y. Rumor has it that he is in line for the presidency of the company. Today X was seen coming out of the principal's office, looking distraught. Rumor has it that he is going to be expelled from school. And so forth.

升大學一樣很用功地去準備 結果~考滿差地重考也進入了最好的班 平時考也都滿前面地 結果~也低於平時水準這兩次都沒考上目標學系 想說用校內轉系好了 考量轉成功機率和地緣關係而選了個低自己40分左右的系 這一年來轉系門檻也達到了 也花了滿多時間在k書上 結果呢?你猜對了 又失敗了 沒付出 沒努力會失敗那還不會痛苦但我自問滿認真了 一些平常比我差的同學都考的比我好 好痛苦努力越多\ 期待越高 就跌地越重 連續幾年失敗下來 我想說自己是不是不適合讀書呢?當初老天讓我考上建中 是故意折磨我嗎?如果當初是隨便一間高中了話 我就不會對成績學系那ㄇ執著了吧!重大考試的當天也沒啥特別不舒服緊張啥地 為啥會降呢?每次失敗 不只我痛苦 家人也一次次的失望 好累 開始想放棄..各位 我...是不是剛放棄了 就這樣安安靜靜地走下去呢?

請不要妄自菲薄你知道有多少人對你這種學生投以羨慕的眼光嗎?至少我是我想先問你一個問題你是不是已經盡你所能了?如果是那何必去管結果怎樣呢?人生在世只求無愧於心因為你所不能決定的東西太多把你所能夠掌握的做好就好這樣一來就沒有人能夠責怪你因為別人不是你因為你盡心盡力而不是假有意做給別人看因為你問心無愧懂我意思最後我不想說一些什麼只要你堅持下去 努力不懈就能成功之類的話我想請你好好地思考一下你現在做的事情是否在你的人生中是你真的想做的?如果是那就盡心盡力把它做到最好未來回首來時路才不會後悔!

我兒子今年指考考了296分,他說讓他重考一年一定可以考到470分以上.他的目標是醫科和牙醫,我實在很懷疑,感覺他已經盡力了,程度大概就是那樣,況且今年他已經考上高醫職能治療,長輩們都鼓勵他去念,我也認為很不錯了,唉,煩惱 ....進補習班重考真的有可能進步那麼多嗎?有經驗的考生和家長幫我解答吧

  我覺得有困難喔!  除非您的孩子是嚴重失常,本來實力有個350以上。其實基本上自然組重考生就不如社會組的重考生容易進步,最有可能還退步的有8成都是自然組。  但是就像第一位大大說的,人本來就是有無限可能,而且身為孩子的父母,也要站在支持的立場才能讓他更有信心。但是真的要提醒您,要進步那麼多除非是特例,不然大概是50~100之間。不過不管進步多少,想要進步他一定得痛改前非、下定決心地努力,一掃之前的壞習慣。  想必您的孩子一定很想當一位醫生,基本上就與醫學相關的科系中,職能治療、視光學系這些真的沒有辦法滿足想讀醫科的學生,說難聽一點,這些科系在醫學大學中會被人家覺得:「還好嘛~沒什麼阿~分數比較低的啦!」如果換成我,我也會覺得不甘心。所以如果衡量家裡經濟狀況許可的話,就再給他一年機會吧!我個人認為,現在自己還想努力的學生真的不多了!您應該感到一些安慰才是。但是如果真的經濟有困難的話,就和他好好談談吧!至於談的內容我想必須達到親子雙方的共識,而非吵吵鬧鬧。  而如果想重考,我認為重考班真的能比在家唸還有效率,除非您的孩子定力超夠,能在書桌前坐超過12小時,另外還有模擬考、老師針對命題方向授課、讀書環境等問題,要是自估沒辦法有向補習班這樣好的效率,建議必須補習。  重考真的很辛苦,充滿壓力和倦怠,他要在這一年內除了課業外,學習在壓力中成長、在倦怠中持恆,這是同等重要的。身為父母當然希望小孩進步、而小孩一定也想進步給人家看,補習班也想要有漂亮的榜單。既然大家的目標都是一致的,所以要做到良好的搭配。  而在您這方面我真的要提醒您,千萬要以鼓勵代替責備,想想他在補習班整天,老師與同儕之間的壓力就夠他受了,不要讓他在家人這裡也得到壓力,而是讓他感覺你們的期待。  要考上醫科真的不簡單,我身旁有個人就是在補習班重考兩年,就是爲了他理想的醫學院,而現在,是陽明醫科的學生。他真的很拼,除了醫科什麼都不要。
