Dear Readers,
What do you like to do on a warm summer day? Some people like to stay inside
where it’s cool and read a good book. We have a suggestion for you this month. Try
Great Expectations. The story is quite moving. Read the summary in Studio Classroom and
then read the whole book!
For those of you who like to be outside during summertime, we have a new sport
to suggest. Some of you know that I enjoy scuba diving. It’s not for everyone, but if you
want to see under the waves without taking scuba lessons, try SNUBA. Read our article
XLMWQSRXLXS½RHSYX[LEXXLEXMW
If you like to travel in summer, be safe! A wonderful trip can turn into a nightmare
when bad things happen. Read our article on travel safety for things to watch out for.

At Savannah Rags, excess clothing
is gathered and processed in several
stages. First, it is collected from charities,
schools and local secondhand stores and
05 brought to the company. There, workers sort it by
material – cotton over here, polyester over there,
etc. The workers also sort out items that are in
bad condition. These are turned into other things,
such as cleaning rags. But the rest of the clothing
10 is packaged and shipped to places in Europe and
Africa. There, local merchants buy it and resell it
in stores and markets. This is a great way to keep
old clothes out of landfills. And, most importantly,
it helps conserve natural resources!
Did you know?
An average of 72,000 tons of
clothing is thrown away every year
on the island of Taiwan. That’s
about 428 pieces every minute!
Business partners
Savannah Rags knows what its overseas
merchants need. Each package will be
sorted to include what they want to sell.
Finding clothing stores that are
truly earth friendly takes a lot of
research. Luckily, companies like
Ethical Brand Directory have done
all that hard work for you!

Digital health is an

future of healthcare.
New technology will help Q by Joshua D. Bickle / PAGE DESIGN BY MICHAEL TSE

ur health care technology
developed by leaps and
bounds in the last century.
We have developed many tools to
help doctors diagnose illnesses. As we continue to 05

develop better methods for understanding, detecting
and treating disease, we can enjoy healthier, longer
lives. But good health care depends on access
to good information, which our digital devices
easily provide. Digital health could be the next big
development in how we approach health care.

keep your digital devices healthy. Instead, it is a
term that describes the system of interconnected
devices that can monitor and report important health
information. Doctors can then use that information
to ensure that your treatment is tailor-made to your
situation.

10 you need only look at how digital devices have
already changed your lives. Take traveling as an
example. Before smartphones, online translators,
GPS and the internet, travel in unfamiliar areas
was difficult. You either had to use a map, find
15 a guide, or constantly ask people to help you
get from one place to another. Now, all the
information you need can be carried with you in
your pocket.

help us lead ____________ lives.

The most useful aspect
of digital health is the
ability to constantly and
accurately monitor vital
information. Wearable devices 05
can record your blood pressure
or the rhythm of your heartbeat.
Some devices can even be ingested. These
pill-sized devices can then monitor how
consistently you are taking your medication.
The information is then accessible through the
internet, so your doctor has a wealth of data
about your daily health. Your doctor can then
use that information to make changes to your
treatment at any time!
No one would suggest that you should
discontinue seeing your doctor altogether.
However, the ability for you and your doctor to
constantly monitor your health is a big benefit. It
makes it possible to have useful consultations
with your doctor online. And reducing the number
of office visits could make the entire process
more efficient.
Usage Tip
The information is then accessible through the internet,
so your doctor has a wealth of data about your daily
health. (p. 39, line 11)

Talk About It
~ Would you encourage everyone to use
digital health devices? Why, or why not?
~ Why do you think people are concerned
about privacy and digital health?
DIGITAL HEALTH
Advances in digital health,
however, also bring some
significant privacy concerns.
Information regarding your health
05 is particularly sensitive. Patient
data could be used for advertising or
marketing, for example. If health records are
accessible online, safeguarding your information
from unauthorized access might be difficult. But
10 if managed properly, the benefits of digital health
could certainly outweigh the risks.

Learning English can be tricky

for English learners.
Have my hair cut
Think about the last time you had your hair cut.
Did people notice your new look? If so, what did
they say? Maybe they said, “You cut your hair!”
%XW LW·V XQOLNHO\ WKH\ PHDQW WKDW \RX FXW \RXU KDLU
yourself. They know that someone else probably did
the cutting. They should say, “You had your hair cut”
instead.
When you say, “I cut my hair,” you mean that you
did it yourself. “I had my hair cut,” means someone
else did the cutting.
Usage Tip
But it’s unlikely they meant that you cut your hair
yourself. (p. 50, line 8)
Turn off the lights
How do you ask someone to make a room
dark? You might want to say, “Close the light.”
People might understand what you mean, but
05 they may look at you in a peculiar way. The
most common phrase is, “Turn off the light.” It
has nothing to do with turning because you flip
a switch to make the light go off. But in English,
people generally use “turn off” when they shut off
10 a device.

Compound Sentences 合句：Part II

Even though it is possible to write what we want to say in short, simple sentences, having some
variety in sentence structure is more interesting to the reader. Two sentences can be joined together
with a comma and a coordinating conjunction – a coordinator – to make a compound sentence.
In addition, a semicolon can be used between two sentences when they are very closely related.
雖然可以用簡短單句描述想表達的話，但是句型結構若有所變化其實會讓文章更加生動有趣。我們
可以將兩個句子以逗號和對等連接詞組合起來形成合句；此外，也可以以分號連接兩個語意關係密
切的句子。

Example
Ɣ My daughter is studying psychology; my son is studying biology.

Two sentences can also be joined using a semicolon + conjunctive adverb + comma.
另外，也可以用分號 + 連接副詞 + 逗號連接兩個句子。

Example
Ɣ I live in the country; therefore, when I go shopping I have to drive into town.

Conjunctive Adverbs 連接副詞

A conjunctive adverb is a connecting word that is at least four letters long. Don’t confuse these with
the FANBOYS coordinators, which are two or three letters long.
連接副詞的長度至少四個字母以上；FANBOYS 等對等連接詞，則通常只有兩三個字母。

Example
Coordinator Conj. Adverb Example
in addition Universities have dormitories where students can live; in addition,
and moreover they have cafeterias where students can eat.
furthermore
however There are about 1 million words in the English language; however,
but nevertheless most people only use about 10 thousand of them.

or otherwise Tell me what you want to eat for dinner; otherwise, I’ll cook what I like.
therefore International business is growing; therefore, more people need to
so consequently become bilingual.

Stafford. He hoped to create an experience that would
fill the __(1)__ between snorkeling and scuba diving.
He believed that many people wanted to explore the
ocean’s depths without dealing with heavy equipment.
Stafford combined the __(2)__ “scuba diving” and
“snorkeling” to create the name – SNUBA. The
activity grew in popularity, and today it can be
enjoyed around the world.
The major difference between SNUBA and the other
two sports is the air __(3)__ system. In snorkeling,
swimmers breathe through a short, bent tube. This
breathing device extends above the water. In scuba
diving, swimmers carry heavy air-filled tanks on their
backs. SNUBA combines the two systems.
SNUBA divers breathe air through a regulator that’s
__(4)__ to a very long air hose. The hose connects the
diver to air tanks. These heavy tanks rest in a floating
raft on the __(5)__ of the ocean. The long hose gives
swimmers the ability to dive up to six meters below
the surface.
In 1949, Maria von Trapp wrote The Story of the
Trapp Family Singers. Her book inspired the 1959
Broadway hit musical and the 1965 film, both
__(6)__ The Sound of Music. The delightful songs
were written by the famous writing team of Rodgers
and Hammerstein. The Broadway __(7)__ took place
on November 16, 1959. It ran for 1,443 performances
and tied for the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1960.
The wildly successful movie musical won five
Academy Awards, including the one for Best Picture.
Like many other movies __(8)__ on biographies,
though, some scenes are from the filmmaker’s
imagination. The movie __(9)__ the number of von
Trapp children from 10 to seven. The filmmaker also
changed the details of the family’s escape, hoping to
make it more __(10)__. However, the true story of the
von Trapp family, in itself, is quite fascinating.

III. Reading Comprehension ኍᜄ୏༲
Digital health refers to the system of interconnected
devices that can monitor and report important health
information. Doctors can then use that information
to ensure that your treatment is tailor-made to your
situation.
The most useful aspect of digital health is the ability
to constantly and accurately monitor vital information.
Wearable devices can record your blood pressure or
the rhythm of your heartbeat. The information is then
accessible remotely through the internet, so your doctor
has a wealth of information about your daily health.
Your doctor can then use that information remotely to
make changes to your treatment at any time.
A survey conducted by the company Lightico in
March 2020, reveals how satisfied consumers are with
this type of remote care. Forty-one percent said that
the remote treatment they had received by means of
digital devices and the internet was either “good” or
“excellent.” The same positive attitude toward digital
health can be seen among investors. In the first quarter
of 2020, US$3.1 billion in new investments poured into
the digital health industry, setting a new investment
record.
Much of the excitement revolves around the use of
voice technology in digital health care. Today, around
2.5 billion devices have voice interfaces like Alexa,
which enable the devices to produce and understand
speech. As a result, users can communicate with these
devices about their health needs by speaking instead
of typing on a computer. Seniors, for example, can
use Alexa to check their daily schedules and receive
reminders to take their medications.
Advances in digital health, however, also bring
privacy concerns. Information regarding your health
could be used for advertising or marketing, for example.
If health records are accessible online, protecting your
information from theft and unauthorized use might be
IO C difficult. But if managed properly, the benefits of
UD

60 digital health could certainly outweigh the risks.

穿在身上的衣服大大彰顯你的個性。它們能在不

在薩凡納國際衣物回收公司裡，多餘衣物以幾個步驟
進行收集與處理。首先，衣物由慈善機構、學校及當地二

進行分類──棉質的在一處，聚酯纖維在另一處等等。員
工也會把狀況不佳的品項挑出來；這些品項會進一步轉變
成像是清潔用抹布等物品。而其他衣物則會經過包裝再運
送到歐洲和非洲各地。在那裡，當地商家會將衣物買下，
並在商店或市場裡再次展出販賣。這是避免舊衣物進入垃

製造衣物會使用大量的自然資源。以藍色牛仔褲為
例；牛仔褲主要以棉花製造，而棉花是一種極需水分的作
物。要做出一件牛仔褲，可能要用到超過六千公升的水才
能栽種出足夠的棉花。然後要把牛仔褲染成藍色，要用掉
甚至更多的水量！透過回收再利用，你就可以幫忙節省用
水。
即便你不會在二手商店購物，還是能讓自己的衣物更
為環保。
1. 不要太常洗衣服。研究顯示，一件衣服對環境的衝擊有
百分之六十到八十是看它有多常被清洗。如果可以的
話，衣服穿兩到三次以後再清洗。然後用冷水以便節省
能源！
2. 購買時通盤考量。購買衣物之前，先想一想：一年以
後，我還會想穿這件衣服嗎？如果不想，就把它留給還
會想穿的人。
3. 行有餘力就捐贈！像薩凡納國際衣物回收中心這樣的公
司想給衣物再次重生的機會。找出自己居家所在地的衣
物回收箱；然後，讓衣物遠離垃圾堆吧！
你知道嗎？
光是在臺灣，每年平均就有七萬兩千公噸的衣服被
丟棄；約莫是每分鐘就被丟掉四百二十八件！
企業夥伴
薩凡納國際衣物回收公司知道合作的海外商家需要
什麼。他們會仔細分好每一件包裹，囊括商家想販售的
品項。這樣一來，商家就能建立起自己的事業，並且得

要找到真正對環境友善的服裝店得耗費好一番功

SNUBA 一詞。SNUBA 活動愈來愈受歡迎，如今在世界各地
都已經能夠體驗得到。
SNUBA 和另外兩項潛水運動最主要的差異就是送氣系
統。浮潛時，浮潛者透過一根彎折的短管呼吸；這個呼吸
裝置延伸凸出於水面上。水肺潛水時，潛水客得背著沉重
的氣瓶。而SNUBA則是結合了這兩種系統。
20
SNUBA 潛客透過連接著一條長氣管的調節器呼吸。這
條氣管連結了潛客與氣瓶；至於這些沉重的氣瓶則是放置
在水面上的浮動膠筏裡。長氣管能讓潛客潛到水面下最深
六公尺處。
我的 SNUBA 冒險之旅開始前，我們的指導員「大約
翰」替我們進行了十五分鐘的安全說明。他耐心地教導我
們如何使用裝置以及一些水下手勢。熟記這些技巧之後，
約翰就帶領我們進入清澈的海底。活動結束時，SNUBA 已
經成為我水中運動的新愛好。如果你也想嘗試，要聯絡正
式的 SNUBA 潛水公司。我選擇了大土克島的 Oasis Divers。
他們曾獲選為全世界數一數二的潛水公司。Oasis Divers 最
喜歡的一句話就是：「我們所從事的生意棒透了！」他們
說得一點也沒錯。這整個體驗，無論水面上還是水面下，
都讓我覺得棒透了！
