本週的外師專欄，要來看一下國際熱門人物—川普先生！大家記得點進文章，先讀完這篇新聞，再來看外師對這篇新聞的想法哦。 Just in case you got the impression that it is an uncommon or unpopular view that Donald Trump is undeserving of the presidency and unqualified for the job, here is an opinion piece that highlights the dishonesty that Trump has displayed in his term as “the most powerful man” in the world. Politicians may be famous for being dishonest and fake news may be prevalent in all sources of media nowadays, but it is Trump that has played one of the most sinister roles in making lying more acceptable in public. That he reached even 100 lies in office and still remained his position is a testament to the absurdly low standards that American leaders are held to – if there are any standards left at all now. You would think that to tell over 20,000 lies in under four years and not be held accountable for it, especially in a country that puts itself on a pedestal of righteousness and transparency, would be inconceivable in the modern world, where facts can be checked instantly from anyone with a smartphone. Instead, he increasingly reveals the American polity to be as tolerant of and susceptible to brainwashing as the citizens of authoritarian regimes that routinely suppress the truth and pathologically lie to their people, such as North Korea and China. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/14/trump-leading-america-lying-anthony-fauci ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀
本週的外師專欄，要帶大家來看美國的總統大選！最近想當美國總統的人各個摩拳擦掌，宣布要參選囉～ Has the position of the president of the USA merely become yet another ceremonial post with no real power, authority or purpose, like the Queen of England, King of Thailand and Emperor of Japan? Certainly, the embarrassment that some Americans express about their Commander-In-Chief certainly seems to mirror that felt by other subjects of anachronistic heads of state that are now more ritualistic figureheads than anything else. According to anonymous reports from within the White House, there are staff actively in charge of preventing Donald Trump from taking any serious actions or making any meaningful decisions, mainly in order to prevent him causing a global calamity beyond what we already have to deal with. Likewise, Trump’s presidency proves that the presidency is not chosen on merit, experience, intelligence, charisma or looks. Perhaps the only prerequisite is a lot of money. Therefore, as Kanye West already has lots of that – as does his wife – he might just be the perfect candidate for the next presidency! He also already has a big fanbase that would no doubt vote for him, along with the disillusioned millions who would vote for anyone besides Trump. If an egocentric, sexist, racist, totally inexperienced failure of a businessman can win the presidency of the richest and most powerful country in the world, why not a rapper? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/05/kanye-west-declares-he-will-run-for-us-president-in-2020 ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 # remdesivir #瑞德西韋
這週的外師專欄，又要回到COVID-19的話題上了！瑞德西韋 (remdesivir) 這個藥物被視為治療武漢肺炎的關鍵藥物，也因此這個藥物現在成了搶手貨。據消息指稱，美國已經買光了未來三個月的瑞德西韋 (remdesivir)藥物產量，這下其他國家要頭痛了！我們一起來看看這篇新聞，以及外師的看法吧～ Two fatal failings of the current global system of capitalism under American dominance are evident in the news from this article. First, there is the ethical issue that is never even considered by America: if a country can look after its own interests at the expense of all other nations of the world, should it just go ahead and trample all over everyone else? The USA buying up basically all the supplies of drug remdesivir in order to ensure that only Americans have access to what is currently seen as the most effective treatment for COVID-19 is no doubt seen by many Americans as a natural implementation of Trump’s “America First” policy. Considering that the USA has the most cases and deaths from COVID-19 – at more than double the country with the next highest number of deaths – because of their own broken healthcare “system” and wealthy-take-all society, it is almost to be expected that they would do something as selfish as secure a limited resource for themselves without caring a fig for the rest of the world. The irony of this situation is bitterly tragic because they are so incapable of looking after their own people that they have to resort to desperate measures that imperil all other nations of the world. This is totally consistent with their track record of invading other countries to secure resources such as oil for themselves, and to install American-friendly dictators to sell trillions of dollars of weapons to, at the same time as claiming to be promoters of peace, human rights and democracy. It also matches their modus operandi of creating trade pacts that mostly favour US industries and companies whilst spouting the virtues of “free trade” established on a rules-based order where of course it is the US that makes the rules. It is these very rules that have been created to benefit America alone that lead to the second horrendous issue in the article – that a private company can own the exclusive rights to a life-saving drug that is desperately needed around the world, and yet that company is not obliged to release its patent or at licence its rights to other nations to help save lives. Clearly this system of exclusivity is doomed to failure, as is a global order where one greedy country tries to monopolise everything for its own economic benefit. In a time of global crisis such as the world faces now, we can ever more clearly see the nations whose words ring hollow and whose promises are empty. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/30/us-buys-up-world-stock-of-key-covid-19-drug ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 #油畫修復
本週的外師專欄，要跨足藝術領域囉～今天就來看看藝術品修復的相關新聞吧！ In the debate over subjectivity versus objectivity, perhaps few fields are as divisive as art. Very likely though, many people are directed in what to consider as ‘masterpieces’ by art critics, museum art curators and social trends, which inevitably leads to an almost universally accepted standard of taste, similar in scope and manner to trends in fashion. This also results in some artists and artworks being put on a podium to the detriment of other possibly equally valuable or unique works that are marginalised or disregarded. But is there a universal standard of beauty that is at the heart of what we universally recognise as masterpieces? Taking the original and two restoration attempts of “Immaculate Conception” by the Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo as a useful comparison, we can see an example of what is considered a ‘masterpiece’ (the copy of an original), and two examples that are seen as ‘failures’ (the restorations). While few critics or members of the public would disagree that the original is certainly an example of talent and skill that results in a successful representation of one kind of beauty, it is unlikely that the two attempts at restoration would be considered even slightly comparable in quality, skill or, importantly, beauty. Is this because they are inherently ugly? Or is it simply because they are being compared to a work which has already been universally recognised as beautiful? Do you find the depiction of the Virgin Mary to be beautiful as a person in Murillo’s work, or as a work of art? Would it be different if the original had depiction had been of an ‘ugly’ person, or if the painting was not an accurate representation of the actual person being painted? What if the restorers based their versions on real people who they thought were beautiful, and those depictions were accurate? Would they still fail because they haven’t made an exact copy of the original by the artist? Or is the failure because we do not see the constructs of beauty in symmetry or flawlessness that we have been indoctrinated into thinking are the only acceptable standards? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2020/jun/22/experts-call-for-regulation-after-latest-botched-art-restoration-in-spain ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀
Tearing down statues and other vestiges of former unenlightened times seems to be all the rage now in Western countries in particular, where a reckoning is taking place in former colonies and former slave-trading nations that seeks some kind of atonement for past sins by expressing rage against inanimate objects. Destroying sculptures of past tyrants and people who committed horrendous acts against others may be one way to come to terms with past wrongs, but is it the only or even the best way? The author of this article makes a valid point that in fact several Lords in Britain’s House of Lords, an anachronistic hereditary branch of the UK’s legislature, are direct descendants of the slave owners and traders, and no doubt owe much of their wealth, status and power to the horrific crimes of their forebears. This absurdly undemocratic institution at the very heart of British political power is well overdue for its own abolition, if the trend for making amends for past wrongs is really going to continue. The trouble is, and this is one of the glaring oversights of this article, the British royal family, as with many royal families, has been directly responsible for, complicit in, or handsome beneficiaries of, many of the most heinous crimes against humanity that England and the UK have committed over the centuries. So, if a reckoning is due for the House of Lords (which almost certainly won’t happen), it is only logical that the royals should be subjected to the same scrutiny for their past crimes. Good luck with that! https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/14/as-statues-of-slave-traders-are-torn-down-their-heirs-sit-untouched-in-the-lords ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 #美劇<警察>
有人看過美國一齣播出多年的電視實境秀《警察》嗎? 這個影集在1989年播出，內容是拍攝洛杉磯縣警局員警出巡的實況，但最近這齣實境秀要被停播了。導火線當然是最近引起美國全體輿論譁然的佛洛伊德被殺事件，導致這齣劇的內容更加引起關注與檢視。我們來看看外師對這篇新聞的看法吧！ In light of the protests about police brutality directed at African Americans in the USA that have dominated western media for some time now, it was inevitable that entertainment media’s role in portraying law enforcement would be subject to increased scrutiny. Sure enough, COPS, the long-running television staple that has been exalting police violence in America for decades has finally been axed after 32 seasons. To non-Americans it might seem surprising that a show that has been depicting the excessive use of force from the authorities against citizens as a virtue has lasted this long in a nation that claims to revere personal freedoms, and where libertarian values are supposedly second to none. As reality TV shows go, COPS has always been controversial for its mostly pro-police-violence portrayals of law enforcement and overtly biased depictions of the criminally accused that are apprehended in each episode. COPS is not the only reality TV law enforcement show that glorifies police violence, so no doubt some of the other series will be examined for their relevance; however, it is unlikely that this will be the end of the sub-genre, considering the public’s deep and ongoing fascination with guns, drugs and violence and crime in general. The sad thing is that the demise of this show will not lead to a cessation of violence from the police; it will just temporarily decrease the amount of documentary evidence the world has of it. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/jun/09/cops-tv-show-cancelled-police-protests ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 #檢舉魔人
本週的外師專欄，要來探討台灣常見的現象—檢舉魔人！有多少人被檢舉過受罰呢? 外師Alex對這個現象又有什麼樣的看法呢? 大家點開文章來看看吧！ The headline says it all: is it for society’s benefit or one person’s own advantage that Taiwan pays people for dobbing in their fellow citizens? ‘Do-gooders’ may be less controversially labelled as such when they volunteer at charities or help strangers in the street. However, when they are hiding in bushes taking pictures, or driving around filming everything they see in order to catch someone in the act of some minor infraction, can they still be seen as doing something good for society? Clearly from this article, ‘Auntie Sue’ the notorious informant was seen as a menace herself, when surely the whole point of the cash-for-informing system was supposed to decrease the levels of anti-social behaviour in society. What kind of society is it that rewards citizens to inform on their neighbours, friends and families? Ask citizens of former and current Communist countries and the answer is not likely to be positive or inspiring, as it leads to distrust and endless cycles of revenge and betrayal. Then again, what kind of society is it where ‘respect for the rule of law’ is just a phrase bandied around to impress other country’s governments? If such anti-social behaviour in the form of littering, spitting, traffic violations and the like are so rife, why is it that the police don’t enforce this better? Some may argue that education is the answer, but that could be countered with the fact that students and citizens in Taiwan have been receiving civics classes and education about environmental protection for several decades already. What are the solutions to this conundrum? https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2020/05/21/2003736775 ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 #鐵肺男子
本週的批判性思考，要帶大家來看這位住在鐵肺中的男子！ Anti-vaxxers may sometimes justifiably be labelled as “idiots”, “the worst type of conspiracy theorists” and some of “the most selfish people on earth”, but often they are just ignorant, and as a result, also scared. In what perhaps could be considered somewhat of a silver lining to the cloud of death and destruction that COVID-19 has brought to our world, the horrendous symptoms and high death tolls could be a factor convincing anti-vaxxers to wake up to the harm they cause to the collective health of society through their inconsiderate behaviour. If they need a bit more prompting, it might be worth pointing them in the direction of articles like the one linked to below. Most people alive today have no memory or experience of the much more horrible epidemics and pandemics that plagued humans in the 20th century and before. Polio is one of these absolutely horrific afflictions that we have thankfully managed to mostly rid our world of, solely by the use of vaccines. There is probably no more convincing testimonial to the benefits of and necessity for vaccines and widespread immunisation than this poor man’s story. This is because it is both inspiring because of his determination and unexpected longevity, but also absolutely devastating because of the countless other children and others that did not survive, or lived only to be tortured by deformities such as hunchbacks and other debilitating disabilities. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/26/last-iron-lung-paul-alexander-polio-coronavirus ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀 #口罩議題
今天的外師專欄，要來探討口罩相關的議題～來看看外師Alex閱讀完這篇新聞後的感想吧！ Let’s examine how the media often combines and distorts information in order to push their own agendas. When a writer has their own personal agenda to further, they often have no concern for facts or unbiased discussion, and will pluck any data from any source to cobble together whatever semblance of an argument they can, regardless of the total lack of journalistic integrity that it shows them to suffer from. Clearly this is what has happened in the article below, where the author seems to want to bolster their feminist credentials by combining the results of unreleased research, biased opinion polls and unconfirmed statistics, in order to create their own perfect storm of man-bashing “toxic masculinity” drivel. No doubt in their mind, the author has manufactured a well-balanced position that is supported by facts and figures. But when those “facts” and “figures” come from unpublished, non-peer-reviewed research, raw and preliminary data that has not been analysed or correlated, and from opinion polls that ask leading questions to bait the respondents into certain stereotypical answers, the result is no more valid than a social media post about 5G causing COVID-19. Unfortunately, this is the likely result when research findings are published without being subjected to peer-review first. It is a foregone conclusion that only some of the meaning or concepts contained in the research will be latched onto by people who just skim the details looking for points that can feed their confirmation bias. Although this might be the case with any information spreading through various filters, when writers cherry-pick only what supports their opinion and dismiss the rest, the increasingly common trend of releasing the results of studies without first subjecting them to proper checks and balances is certainly going to exacerbate the spread of misinformation rather than mitigate it. https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/equality/497814-men-less-likely-to-wear-face-masks-because-theyre-not-cool ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/applied-english.html #里茲螞蟻批判性思考寫作專欄 #Alex專欄 #外師每週精選閱讀
大家知道什麼是Objective Reality 嗎? 今天就讓我們來看看這是什麼吧！ After examining the pitfalls of misinformation, disinformation and fake news, then looking at how several contentious and likely unprovable theories, such as the multiverse theory and string theory, are seriously being investigated by researchers, here we can see a confluence of the two seemingly unrelated issues. This is how when free reign is given to imagination in many fields it can lead to revolutionary achievements and innovations, but when it is permitted in fields where objectivity and evidence-based support are required, it can instead result in the undermining of the basic tenets that we see as foundations of our understanding of the world. Consider the claims by the authors of this article and their study into quantum physics: they assert that their results suggest that objective reality does not exist. Ignore the fact that they do not actually have any substantial proof to support this statement besides their own experiments into a theory that itself is a theory of a theory, and just think about the absurdity of this claim for a moment. How can researchers at the pinnacle of science, supposedly the source of civilisation’s understanding of objective reality – not to mention its outsize role in eliminating superstition and unfounded beliefs – make the claim that actually there is no objective reality? Although they attempt to qualify their claims by stating that macroscale things like humans do exist, for them at the subatomic quantum scale there is no such certainty. While we may sometimes benefit from thought-experiments that make outlandish claims such as this, this is also the same ammunition that spreaders of fake news seize on to support their conspiracy theories and undermine our grasp on reality. Perhaps using sensational, unsupported headlines to capture the imagination of the public, and no doubt draw attention (and funding) to their research, is not a privilege that researchers should be permitted? https://theconversation.com/quantum-physics-our-study-suggests-objective-reality-doesnt-exist-126805 ===我是分隔線=== 💡這個專欄目的是訓練同學聰明閱讀。 上面的貼文內容是我們的實力派外師Alex，針對每週一篇英文文章閱讀後，親自寫出的批判性思考文（不是copy & paste的東西啊）。旨在讓同學知道如何用不同的角度來讀文章。你可以選擇先讀Alex寫的批判文，也可以選擇先讀本次的英文文章連結，但最好兩處都要閱讀才能達到最好的效果。 這是個訓練批判性思考的好機會，希望同學不要被文字牽著鼻子走，在閱讀時可以多思考。大家可以善用這個寶貴的資源～ 舊文連結： https://www.leedsmayi.com/alex-column Alex是我們的御用老師，每週都會幫梅姨、托托、慕華、金金上英文課。目前星期一晚上有開一班 #里茲螞蟻外師應用英文課程 ，程度高級，充滿知識性與深度。有開放單次付費上課。若你想學習用英文來深度探討各項主題，check it out！ Alex老師的應用英文課： https://www.leedsmayi.com/application-english.html |
