人愈大，愈覺得自己知識貧乏，雖則我有個學位，但一樣覺得自己只是中學畢業。這樣認為的原因，是我的英文太爛了。自問從小已算比較勤力，對英文詞語的認識也不少，但人愈大反而英文愈退步，尤其是英文文法，真是中五也不如，寫封英文信也錯漏百出：文法用錯、時間性語法用錯（這在英文文法是很重要的！）、詞語用錯、中式英語等等．．．．．．
既然知衰，便要發奮圖強，剛看遍4所大學的校外進修部，精選了以下10個課程：
1. Associate Degree in Applied English Studies by CUHK – Tung Wah
Group of Hospitals Community College.
2. Diploma Programme in Business Communication for Executives by CUHK -
School of Continuing Studies
3. Professional Diploma Programme in Corporate Communication (Cycle 2)
by CUHK – School of Continuing Studies
4. ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES by PolyU SPEED
5. BA in English for International Corporate Communication by Community
College of City University
6. BA in English for International Business by Community College of City
University
7. Associate Degree in English for Professional Communication by Community College of
City University
8. Professional Business English by CityU SCOPE
9. Diploma in Business English by HKU SPACE
10. The SPACE English Course by HKU SPACE
10個課程中，再精選了3個出來，分別是第2、3和5個課程，但我的條件不知能否入學，明天先打電話去查詢。
看過所有課程的內容了, 我認為2, 8, 9也ok. 其實你想學英文應用在哪一方面? Business? Mass Communication?
英雄所見略同，8和9也是我喜歡的，如果2、3、5都不夠資格的話，便會報讀8或9。我主要是想增進英語，Business或Communication也可以，你認為哪樣好些？
Business 較著重寫report, communication 較著重presentation, 我讀IT時, 少做presentation, 比較怯場, 就算做完research都不知怎法表達, 但讀finance時常有presentation, 又要答問題, 不懂時又要吹兩句水, 哈哈. 我看到8,9也較全面, 所以可以考慮一下, business 學到比較formal一點, 我幫人做過mass comm的功課, mass comm 比較多寫自己的見解多些, 看你的職業啦.
I am pretty much the same as you. Got a degree ten years ago. Working in US a few years too. But still believe my English is not up to “standard”. I am planning to join “Diploma in Business English by HKU SPACE” in Sept 2005. Not sure other classes on your list, too lazy to check.
We might be in the same class :bigsmalleyes:
Peter你在美國工作了數年，這個課程對於你來說會不會太簡單啊！
:good:E文，也是我心中永远的痛。
That’s also one of my concerns. But that already the most advance English course that HKU SPACE could offer, they said. And seems their tution charge is pretty reasonable.
Well… before that, I am intended to join a Master course holded by HKU SPACE and University of London on “International Business Management”. Sounds interesting, but since my first degree got from the US is not business related. They need me to take GMAT. …after I read a book to learn what is GMAT. Guess what, I’m even more feel like a F.5 student than you do
Thus, I need something to warm up. And don’t really mind if that simply a relaxing class.
You may have a better suggestion though 
I bit sidetrack. Saw you having lots of photos from travelling. Guess you might love travelling much. Not sure which country you like most. I was back from Singapore last year. I’m a Singapore PR now. Singapore giving me very good impression compares to other countries. (but I believe most people do not think so, because they usually only stay there 1-2 days). My previous job gave me lots of travelling opportunities. Thus, I could have chance to immerse on different culture and have plenty of time to enjoy my photo taking fun
Comparing the 3 years in Singapore, 1 years in Penang Malaysia, 2 years in Palo Alto California, and ~ half my life in Hong Kong. I still vote Singapore the best place to stay. California is good, however, you got to have a job to give you exciting income to keep the happy moment. I don’t much enjoying life in Malaysia. Malaysian are too slow. But KK island in Sabah are the best resort that you must go. At least once a life time.
Ha ha, sorry sorry! I can’t type Chinese. It’ll take me a year to compose a sentence by Q9.
新加坡的確係幾好o架, 除o左係細o的同熱o的之外, 其他都唔錯。 起碼都係一個獨立自主o既國家, 唔同香港咁奇怪。
個政府又官僚又無能, 話無錢但又不斷浪費納稅人o的錢。 :relief:
“Yeah Lor”, 100% agree. At least they have a “smart” governor to lead that small island to survive and success. Many years ago, Singapore governor send their officers to Hong Kong to learn from us. Today, guess they’ll say “No Joke Lah, please…”
老吳，大家也要努力啊！
Peter，你就好啦，有份可以周圍去的工，我都唔知幾恨搵到份咁o既工，可惜我太低能（低工作能力），所以一直找不到．．．．．．
新加坡旅行便太悶了，住的話應該不錯的，但我想都是不適合我的了。:cool:
Dan Buddy, I have no longer work for that company lah. Had resigned one year ago before moving back to Hong Kong. … long story.
Now, I guess I am even worst than you do. Am 100% jobless
That’s why wanna join some classes to rebuilt my confidence. Anyhow, if nothing really interested in Hong Kong for another year. I will probably move out to live in other country.
Just registered to join HKU SPACE’s “Exec. Dip. for China Mkt. Mgrs.” Is a 9 weeks course. Hope will find some identication where I should going. (May be not joining the Dip. for Business English lor. Not much money left :p )
Hey man, if you knew me earlier. I definately could show you the exciting life within Singapore. Nothing less than those in Hong Kong, or other big city. Including nite life and anything even a local Singaporean did not knew. Guarantee good for you to write a book
by the way, what is your career? I was an IT and Marketing folk for more than 10 years. (until now become “jobless in Hong Kong”
)
Peter，都說我們差不多了，不是嗎？我也是IT行業的，我是Technical Support，但現在也是失業漢。找了大半年也找不到適合的工作，我們還是不要比較誰差點還好，免得互相傷心。
新加坡，去年到了那裏2天半，只覺得Night Safari好玩，其他地方實在和香港太相似了，我悶得要去戲院和圖書館來消磨時間啊！
