假如你講英文總是見骨不見肉，只夠表達出你心裡想法的梗概，不豐富、不精確，當然也說不上優雅精緻。我們來談談怎麼讓你的語言表達從A到A＋，英文表達裡出現Advanced Structure。
說英文的時候，我們的大腦運作其實和搜尋引擎很像，要表達一個訊息時，它會用最短的時間，去"match"一個或一群最接近的元素。例如：He understood immediately. (他立刻就懂了)。句子這麼講也沒錯，但反反覆覆都是這類表達，I'll be there immediately. We'll finish it soon. 句子單調到不行，怎麼可能優雅豐富呢？
現在如果你把它改成→ He understood the very first time. 意思一樣，但表達的多樣性就出現了。英文從A到A＋，大部份都不是處理「對不對」，而是「好不好」。也因此"Paraphrase"(改寫、重寫)的練習是少不了的。現在看看怎麼paraphrase吧！
試著用比較advanced的句型造句，造句的時候一定要唸出來，覺得好像錯了，就再唸一遍，全部做完再對答案，答案於本文最末。
