This course aims at lifting learner’s spirits while they are poking their nose at the splendid, transcendent and insightful works by the prestigious saints, philosophers and literary writers. Reading of these works can have their mind broadened, purified, ascending to the truthdom, which guides us the way to understand life and death, what and how we should do to make our lives more meaningful and worthy. In addition, it is a good helping hand to those who want to improve the target language, especially writing skills, which embraces grammar analysis, sentence structures, paragraph segmentation, the use of main ideas and details, etc. The lectures go with songs, videos and practical writing in class, which makes every lesson interesting and fruitful. 本課程為學員提供了多篇由哲者及名家撰寫之文章，同時亦介紹了一些經世讀本，除了啟發學員對生命價值之了解外，亦興發其心志，使對真理與美善有所企仰。學員於閱覽文章之際，當猶如在勞碌繁忙之生活裡，稍停下來，享用一口清冽甘泉，淨化心靈。 此外，它能幫助欲提高英語能力的人，特別於寫作技巧方面，其中包括語法分析。句子結構，段落分割，主題思想及細節鋪排等等。同時，課堂上配有歌曲、視頻和實踐寫作，使每節課趣味盎然而富有成效。 Prelude The use of sensuous Language (i) The episode from the best seller “Salem’s Lot” by Stephen King (ii) Writing Practice 1.
