*校正 : 學習重點的No.3講了兩次...更正第二個No.3為No.4

I'm able to speak about one such recent event when I had to wait more than an hour in a very long queue. It was about a few weeks ago. I went to do some necessary shopping, and I spent about 10 minutes to pick up all the essential items. And then I approached the checkout point. There were far more people than usual. I was really shocked by such a large crowd. There were five checkout points but each of them were surprisingly crowded. When I was wondering which queue I woud join. I was forced to go ahead, and I had no other alternative but to stand in the nearest queue. I guess most of them were shopping for nothing(誤...). I guess most of them were shopping for the approaching festival or something. Because of that, we all had to wait in a long queue for a long time. That was really bothering. And I knew how irritating and tough it was to wait for such long hours in a long queue. 

我要說一件最近的事情,就是我在幾週之前做一些日常採購,結果我在隊伍裡面等了超9,我大概花了十分鐘拿好我要買的東西,然後我就去了結帳櫃檯,發現那邊的人比平常還要多,我就直接被這一大群人嚇一跳,那邊有五個結帳櫃檯,每一個都塞滿人,我還在想說我要去哪邊排隊的時候,我就直接被推向了最靠近的那個結帳隊伍,我根本毫無選擇,我在猜大部分的他們是為了即將到來的節日做採買,所以我們就只好在很長的隊伍等很長的時間,這真的很擾人,所以我知道在很長的隊伍裡面排隊有多煩人多辛苦

Initially, I thought she would be a moody person. People would have to be very polite in front of her.
This impression came mostly because of her tidy dressup and serious face. 
Her teaching and influences changed my way of thinking. That's mainly because she makes everything interesting to me.
There is no denying. She is a really good mentor and has a positive influence on my education.

----------------------------------------------

-initially 可說是 first 的進階用法,

 句子的開頭要表示"最初"的概念就可以用

-moody person  心情不穩定的人 (遇到就心累...

-mostly because  主要是因為

-there is no denying  不可否認

It costs way more time to do it in this way.
Probably we could have another alternative to make it way better?

這樣做將花費更多時間...
也許我們可以有其他替代方法讓它更好?

小補充

"way more time" 的way就純粹是強調語氣而已

way常拿來強調比較級

That's way more difficult. (那更更難)

It's way more successful. (那更更成功)

It's way too late  (太遲了!)

Speaking of the website I often use, I'd like to talk about Google.com. The
website owns a large number of loyal users since it offers customers various and
original videos and services. Whatever you want to watch on Google.com, you
would find it instantly just by inputting the keywords. That's why I'm complete
a Google junkie.

講到常用的網站,我要講Google,這個網站有大量的忠誠使用者,因為它提供顧客多樣原創的影片和服務,無論你想要看什麼,只要輸入關鍵字後就能立刻找到你要的內容,這就是為什麼我完全是個Google上癮者

小補充:

speaking of ______ I often use 講到我常用的 xxx

various 多樣的

original 原創的

offer 提供 v.

instantly 立即地

junkie就是上癮者

I'm a movie junkie 
I'm a pop music junkie
I'm an ice-cream junkie

Be whatever junkie you want to be la!

What's the importance of environmental education?

Through education, we are able to see better understanding and cooperation from the public if they get informed about the importance of environmental protection. Then we can tackle more environmental problems in effect. To my mind, education is likely to be the key point for changing and improving.

環境教育的重要性?

透過教育,如果民眾有被告知環境保護的重要性,那他們便能夠有更明確的了解和合作,然後我們就能有效解決更多環境問題.就我來看,教育很可能就是改變與進步的主要推手

小補充

-better understanding 更明確的了解

we need a better understanding of everything. Cause we understand too little.

-"tackle" more problems 解決問題

"解決"也可以用 solve

-To my mind, = In my opinion, = I think 就我看來
