George was my first level-10-evaluation tutor, he focused on grammar and pronunciation strictly but kept humorous. And when I realized this class I'd meet him again let me got a few nervous... then I went to sleep to got full conscious to cope with this lesson. ?
George 是我第一堂10級評估課的顧問，他上課非常會挑學生文法跟發音錯誤，他也是我最愛的英國籍老師，有著英國老師一貫的幽默感，雖然認真、嚴格，卻不失幽默，但當我看到這堂課是他上時，我還是覺得得把皮繃緊了......所以我就跑去睡覺，盡量保持清醒上他的課 ?

I received much same feedback from different tutors whom suggested me speak slowly, sometimes I felt this is a hard work for me cause my speak speed also fast in my mother tongue, I also doing speak slowly in mother tongue in certain situations.
自從九級開始，我收到很多顧問建議我講話慢一點。其實我就算講中文也是講很快，也正在練習在某些場合中放慢速度，之前上了聲音表達課，學習到要「有意識地講話」是很累人的事情，必須注意聲調、斷句、速度、拋物線(抱歉我只能這麼形容)、節奏、韻律、表情、回饋、發聲位置..... 很容易做到幾點卻忘了幾點。

Modal verbs 情態動詞：
can, could, will, would, must
(X) to  -- must to
(X) ing -- must going
尤其是 must to，是常見的錯誤。
（我也會犯這錯，因為中文有加強語氣「必須要」，所以一不小心就直翻了）

does/do 加強語氣：
EX: Although charcoal is easier to use and does produce some smoke ..... 
就算拿掉 does 也是個正確的句子，為什麼要加 does ?
是用來加強語氣用 (emphasizes)，通常會放在第二句，不會放在第一句。
