《每日閱讀一篇Associated Press國際時事新聞，深入學習高階寫作修辭技巧》

每日閱讀一篇成立於1846年5月，為美國目前最大的通訊社Associated Press（聯合通訊社，簡稱美聯社）國際新聞好文筆。非常有助於幫助英文中（高）級自學者，深入學習高階英文閱讀理解，及內化新學句型於個人寫作中。

例如：在今日標題New evacuations ordered in Greece after 19,000 people were moved as wildfires blaze on（隨著野火繼續燃燒，及一萬九千人被疏散後，希臘下新的疏散令）時事新聞中，英文中（高）級自學者讀者，看到含數量關係代名詞的高階寫作。

Firefighters struggled through the night to contain 82 wildfires across Greece, 64 of which started Sunday, the hottest day of the summer so far – temperatures soared as high as 46.4 degrees Celsius (115.5 F). 

消防員通宵奮力控制希臘各地的82處野火，其中64處是在截至目前夏季最熱的星期日開始的 - 氣溫高達攝氏46.4度（華氏115.5度）。

英文三種常見關係代名詞的基本觀念如下：

(1) 先行詞是人：主格用who，受格用whom，所有格用whose。

(2) 先行詞是事物：主格用which，受格用which，所有格用whose。

(3) 先行詞是人及事物：主格用that，受格用that。

在附圖中，中（高）級英文自學者讀者，需分析82 wildfires（八十二處野火）及64 of which（六十四處）的文法關係。

Firefighters struggled through the night to contain 82 wildfires across Greece, 64 of which started Sunday, the hottest day of the summer so far – temperatures soared as high as 46.4 degrees Celsius (115.5 F). 

先行詞82 wildfires（八十二處野火）是事物，所以關係代名詞用which。關係代名詞在句中有兩個功能，一是連接兩個句子，二是在句子中扮演主詞、受詞或所有格的功能。

例如AP今日新聞內容

Firefighters struggled through the night to contain 82 wildfires across Greece, 64 of which started Sunday, the hottest day of the summer so far – temperatures soared as high as 46.4 degrees Celsius (115.5 F)

可以改寫成

Firefighters struggled through the night to contain 82 wildfires across Greece, and 64 of them started Sunday, the hottest day of the summer so far – temperatures soared as high as 46.4 degrees Celsius (115.5 F)

從以上兩個句子中，英文中（高）級自學者可以學到which 扮演連接詞及（含數量）主格的功能。

接著英文中（高）級自學者，可以試著造一個句子，內化此高階文法於寫作中。

I have plenty of favorite books in my bookcase, two of which are classic fictions written by Charles Dickens. （書櫥內擺滿我喜愛的書籍們，其中兩本是查爾斯·狄更斯寫的經典小說。）
