[English Etymology] *peku- "cattle" 🐂$💵

*peku- "cattle"   🐂$💵


Eng fee
     Old English feoh "livestock, cattle; goods, money; treasure, wealth; money as a medium of exchange or payment" 
                 Proto-Germanic *fehu-


Latin peculiaris "of one's own (property)" 
             peculium "private property, property in cattle" 
                 pecu "cattle, flock"

[English Etymology] *gwei- "to live" 🕺🐎🐂🐑

*gwei- "to live" 🕺🐎🐂🐑



Eng quick

PTE 30天 高分養成

  • 跟 Speaking 有關的考項開始錄音之後就不要停止發出聲音,因爲停止發聲 3秒錄音就會中斷。發出 erm erm erm 的聲音雖然在 fluency (流暢度)上會扣分,但總好過整題的分數被扣光


  • 除了句子轉折処,不要停頓,停頓大大降低流暢度(fluency),KEEP TALKING!




  • PTE 由電腦程序批改,目前 PTE 識別系統辨別輔音(b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p .................)較差,元音(a, e, i, o, u, ai, ou, ei...............)辨識度高,所以打分偏重元音,要高分就勤練元音高亮的發音法

  • 不要糾結 bad vs bed 這種連很多 native speaker 都分不清的元音對立

  • 雖然輔音打分較低,比如 'th' 發得像 's' 或 'z' 或許能蒙混過關,至少分數扣得不會很重,但 hug 讀成 bug 這種明顯錯誤肯定不行的

  • PTE Read Aloud 的題庫很大,它可以隨便從網絡上截取一段話來考,所以把前人囘想總結出來的 ‘囘想題庫’ 背起來是沒有用的

  • Repeat Sentence 和 Write from dictation 如果不能把例句都背起來,至少每句都看 5遍,看到一句話聽到頭三、四个詞馬上就能整句寫出來的程度。
但注意,PTE 是會變換語句的,也就是將一句話中的實詞(名詞、動詞、副詞)用同義詞、近義詞甚至反義詞代替,比如:

You must hand in your assignment by tomorrow.
You must submit your homework by Thursday.

如果死死照‘例句’來寫,很多分數就白白被扣了。

      Google Adsense 終于通過!/ Google Adsense finally approved! (2018-01-30)

      在去年(2017年)正式完成 Google Adsense 的申請 3个月之後,今天我的 Google Adsense 終于通過了!




      Ok,言歸正傳,話説很多人在 google blogger 上每天狂 po 文但申請了半年甚至一年都通不過,有些人沒發多少帖卻一、兩個星期内就批准了。一般來説,申請要通過有幾個要素:


      1. 瀏覽總數破千
      2. 要勤 po 文,至少一個星期 1、2篇
      3. 想到什麽就 po 什麽,天馬行空,性幻想(要注意,下一點會談)、小鳥飛進屋子、贏馬票、分手、進回教、看電影什麽鬼都可以,世界這麽大,任何題材總會有人有共鳴的。
      4. 一點點色情或引人聯想的内容可能可以蒙混過關,但太多太 over 的色情内容就 gg 了。

      就這樣,huat ah~!
