關於IGCSE中文學習之迷思二
説到IGCSE中文與本地中文學習的具體不同。例如：關於IGCSE中文古文部分，第一語言需要學習，第二語言是不需要學習的。那麽關於第一語言古文的學習也是比較基本的，沒有本地中文課本中的古詩和古文那麽深那麽長，也不會出現特別高深的詞句。有的同學中文基礎稍好，想從二語轉變成一語，通過一段時間的學習，掌握到一些古文也是可以的。 再比如閲讀文章方面，IGCSE中文閲讀的文章不會過於冗長，尤其在處理閱讀理解題目的時候，注重是否抓到了文章所講述的要點，能否清楚明白文章所敘述的事情，而非在語法和寫作手法上學習的十分高深。 無論是IGCSE中文一語還是二語，待學業完成，學生在實際生活和工作當中都很有用。Hudson Academy的中文老師在學習過程中，也會這樣引導學生。讓學生學到知識的同時，讓學生明白學習的意義所在，幫助引導學生破除對於學習中文的抵觸情緒。
關於IGCSE中文學習之迷思一
有的家長會疑惑IGCSE中文學習跟本地學校的中文學習有什麽大的分別。又會擔心爲何中文學習程度看起來如此簡單，但是孩子還是不能將分數考得更好。 其實語言説起來簡單也簡單難也難，只要找對了點就事半功倍，不是特別複雜的事，但現在的考試越來越注重學生自身對於這門語言的實際掌握情況，這就是難點了。 IGCSE中文的學習範圍與本地學校中文學習很大不同，IGCSE中文學習更注重實際應用，而不是只有死記硬背就可以應付的。孩子分數不好，很多時候是對語言失去了信心，因爲一頭霧水的學習了很久又不得方法。這一點作爲Hudson Academy的中文教師可以很好的幫助學生和家長，既會讓學生規避填鴨式教育又可以學到應該學到的知識點。

倫敦市中心豪宅 入場費1200萬 英國升學需求大 倫敦一二區買樓便利上學
【明報專訊】英國政府早前表示，將會擴大BNO香港持有人於當地的居留權利，吸引了不少欲移民尋找後路的港人。事實上不論外媒還是地產代理都同樣指出，今年港人到英國買樓興趣明顯增加。英國本身也因新冠肺炎疫情積壓部分購買力獲釋放，以及印花稅寬免等因素，帶動當地樓價單月增幅創16年來新高，市場氣氛熾熱，看似走出脫歐公投後的陰霾。有代理透露，隨本港防疫限制措施鬆綁，前來英國物業展覽的人數急增，而今年1月時，旗下英國樓盤於香港的成交急增了3倍。 自英國脫歐公投起，由於巨大的不明朗政治因素籠罩，再加上今年新冠肺炎疫情衝擊，樓市氣氛不樂觀。不過，即使英國第二季面對史上最深的經濟衰退，Nationwide公布8月英國平均樓價卻急升達2％，單月升幅創16年來新高。主要原因之一，為當地政府由7月起寬免了上車人士購買50萬鎊以下物業的印花稅，限期到明年3月，加上疫情後不少人都期望換大單位，釋放出不少購買力。 https://news.mingpao.com/pns/%E7%B6%93%E6%BF%9F/article/20200911/s00004/1599761943558/%E5%80%AB%E6%95%A6%E5%B8%82%E4%B8%AD%E5%BF%83%E8%B1%AA%E5%AE%85-%E5%85%A5%E5%A0%B4%E8%B2%BB1200%E8%90%AC-%E8%8B%B1%E5%9C%8B%E5%8D%87%E5%AD%B8%E9%9C%80%E6%B1%82%E5%A4%A7-%E5%80%AB%E6%95%A6%E4%B8%80%E4%BA%8C%E5%8D%80%E8%B2%B7%E6%A8%93%E4%BE%BF%E5%88%A9%E4%B8%8A%E5%AD%B8
