365天的英文學習紀錄_Day1~3

英文練習的心得及學習重點

由於英文的說寫能力退化已久，想要提升能力。試過不同的學習方法，例如：用APP看句子搭配遊戲、用閒暇時間聽英文、或是看文章。但上述這些做法並不是「真的有感」進步的好方法，依然只有練習到閱讀能力，而不是說寫的輸出能力。(我的閱讀能力其實是OK的。說寫能力如果不顧文法，尚可溝通，但用在工作場合就完全不夠。)

直到最近從不同主題的Youtuber影片，獲得啟發(之後再另外詳述)，所以開始建構出一套適合自己的英文練習方法。於是藉由vocus記錄這段過程，促使自己養成習慣及持續進步。

Day1~3的練習，主要模仿看過的一篇短文。參考它的結構後，再替換成自己想出來的新主題和內容，並用直覺寫出一篇全新的文章，再請AI幫我潤稿。

我將潤稿後的重點用底線及粗體標記，很明顯看到介係詞容易誤用，可直覺運用的單字也比較單調，真的都還給以前的老師了。這可以當作現階段需要加強練習以及恢復記憶的小目標。

• "with different reasons" → "for various reasons"
• • 用 "for various reasons" 使語意更自然流暢。
• "occasions" → "on different occasions"
• • 搭配介詞 "on" 更準確描述「在不同場合」。

2. 文法與句型改進

• 原句：Everyone drinks coffee with different reasons and buys coffee with various occasions.
• • 修改："People enjoy coffee for various reasons and on different occasions."替換 "everyone" 為 "people" 使句子更正式。將 "with" 改為更適合的介詞 "for" 和 "on"。
• 原句：In Weekdays, office workers buy coffee at the convenient stores.
• • 修改："On weekdays, office workers often buy coffee from convenience stores.""In weekdays" 改為正確的 "On weekdays"。"the convenient stores" 改為 "convenience stores" 去掉多餘的定冠詞。加入 "often" 提升語感流暢性。
• 原句：They need some coffee to give themselves a boost for upcoming meetings.
• • 修改："to give themselves a boost before upcoming meetings.""for" 改為更準確的 "before" 描述時間順序。
• 原句：In weekends, some people love to have a cup of coffee at the cafateria.
• • 修改："On weekends, some prefer to relax at a café with a cup of coffee.""In weekends" 改為 "On weekends"。"cafateria" 更正拼寫為 "café"。
