From:beatrice.johnson@qmail.com
To:sarah.parker@qmail.com
Subject: An apartment
Dear Sarah,
I think I have found an apartment you will like. It is on the same street as your office, so you can just walk to work instead of taking public transportation. I know it's more expensive than your current apartment, but if we share the rent equally,then I think it's a pretty good deal,especially when you factor in the time and money you can save on your commute.And each of us will have our own bathroom. That's quite nice, isn't it ? I'm going to make an appointment to see the apartment on Saturday. Do you want to go together?
Beatrice

(A) It has only one bathroom.

2.What is indicated about Sarah?
(A) Her office is on Oak Street.
(B) She takes a shower in the morning.

(D) She has known Beatrice for a long time.
3. If Sarah agrees to Beatrice's idea, how much will she spend on rent each month?
(A) $750
(B) $1,200
(C) $1,500
(D) $1,800
如何準備新制全民英檢?
雖然辦理全民英檢的語言訓練測驗中心(LTTC)宣稱，新制英檢的難易度，與舊制英檢相同，不過考生應該會發現，新制英檢的題目，變得比較靈活。考生想要通過英檢，不能只是了解字彙的片面意義，或者將文章裡的句子，只是翻譯成中文。以下是考生可以參考的方向：
1. 注意字彙的使用：
平時學習字彙時，除了知道字彙的中文意義外，也需要多看例句，了解字彙在句子裡面的使用方式。許多英文字，雖然它們的中文翻譯相近或甚至相同，可是它們的含意，可能差異很大。例如suspect與doubt，雖然中文翻譯都是「懷疑」，可是它們的意義，卻是南轅北轍，請看以下例句：
a. If you suspect (= you think there is) a gas leak, don't start the engine.
b. You can complain, but I doubt (= I don't think) if it will make any difference.
2. 注意句子彼此間的邏輯關係：
請你回想一下，你讀中文的時候，是不是經常可以根據目前讀到的資訊，就預測到作者接下來會寫甚麼內容呢？應該八九不離十對不對？這是因為文章的句子之間，經常有起承轉合等邏輯關係。利用這些邏輯關係，可以幫助你閱讀得更快、更懂。試著也把這個方法，用到英文當中，你會發現英文可以讀得比較順，不會卡卡的。
3. 練習分析歸納的能力：
你是否經常讀完一篇文章後，能夠試著用你自己的話，回顧它的重點呢？如果你養成這個習慣，你會發現你比較容易記得這篇文章的重要訊息，也比較可以舉一反三，連結到你曾經學過或讀過的資訊。長期來說，對於提升英文能力，或者應用到職場的其它面向，都非常有幫助。
