課程概述

The course is designed for
students who have already
acquired the basic skills
in reading and writing
English, and who would like
to improve these skills so
as to be able to read essays
and books in English on a
broad range of
subjects, and make comments
on the writings they are
dealing with. 

課程目標
The selections of readings
to be covered on the
syllabus are expected to
help
the class expand the volume
of vocabulary on subjects
which engage the
attention of average
students at the graduate
level. The readings are also
chosen as models of fluency
and eloquence. This means
that vocabulary, grammar
and style are acquisition
targets of the class.  
課程要求
Students of the class are
expected to do before-class
preparations and all the
assignments given after
every class. There will be
writing tests for the mid-
term and the final. Also
there will be short writing
exercises to be done at
home. As the reading
materials will either be
uploaded to the class
webpage or
distributed to the
individual e-mail box, it is
expected that all students
have proper computing
equipments and essential
operating skills to get the
class work going. The class
are also expected to keep
close attention to the
announcements on the
bulletinboard to be well
informed of what-to-dos and
how-
to-dos for the course.
