The number of domestic pets in Hong Kong has risen rapidly in the last decade.  It is estimated that the number of pets in Hong Kong will further increase from 510,000 in 2017 to 550,000 in 2019. 

全球繼續面對人口老化問題，以香港為例，預計2034年，長者人口高達28%，政府推算，2021年公立醫院需要35,000多名醫生和護士，2026年增至40,000名，醫管局於五年間需要增聘1,000多名醫生和3,000多名護士，可見香港醫護人手長期嚴重不足 。

現今世代，幾乎每個層面都要依賴創新科技和設備，各國對STEM (Science科學、Technology科技、Engineering工程和Mathematics數學) 越益重視；預測至2020年，AI (人工智能) 將為全世界創造二百三十萬個新工作空缺 。

《港區國安法》通過，不知道大家所熟悉的香港會否已經成爲囘憶? 説到回憶，很多人一定想起百老匯歌劇 “Cats” 的名曲 “Memory”，iEducation 則想和大家介紹 Maroon 5 早前熱爆歌曲 “Memories”，一首同樣觸動人心、令人感概萬千的歌曲： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlPhMPnQ58k 歌曲一開始便是副歌部分： Here's to the ones that we got (向我們所擁有的致意) Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not (舉杯，希望你在這，然而你不在) 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (一飲便帶回所有回憶) Of everything we've been through (我們經歷過的一切) Toast to the ones here today (為今天在場的人致敬) Toast to the ones that we lost on the way (為我們路上失去的人致敬) 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories (因爲一飲便帶回所有回憶) And the memories bring back, memories bring back you (而回憶帶回來 回憶帶你回來) 歌詞無難度，但令人感概的歌詞配上輕快的旋律，淡淡的哀傷感更揪心。 副歌後緊接的歌詞或者也引起一些共鳴： There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain (我記得有個時候，我不知道什麽是痛) When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same (那時候我相信永恆，所有事物會維持不變) 但這並非一首悲歌，每一節主歌 (verse) 和導歌 (pre-chorus) 都有正面的情懷： Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark (現在我的心像餘燼 照亮黑暗) I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah (我會爲你舉著這些火炬 永不丟下) Everybody hurts sometimes (人會有時受傷) Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy (人會有一天受傷) But everything gon' be alright (但一切會好) Go and raise a glass and say, ayy (來舉杯說) (副歌) 希望大家細心欣賞歌曲，並留言告訴我們最勾起你回憶的英文歌是哪首?

有報道指《港區國安法》大有機會今個週末通過有關草案，對很多香港人來説，這法例存在很多未知之數，感到擔憂是可以理解的。 對於香港的未來，我們未必可以掌握，但只要大家團結一起，定能同心同舟共濟，iEducation 今期介紹Sia的新曲 “Together”： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnfGni4_RlI 相信提起Sia，最爲人熟悉的莫過於那首街知巷聞的 “I'm gonna swing from the chandelier From the chandelier” (“Chandelier”) (順帶一提 “chandelier” 發音[ˌʃændəˈlɪə(r)]，源自法文，”ch” 發 “sh” 音) 。 “Together” 是一首輕快正面的歌，據説是為自閉患者而寫的，極具意義。 歌詞亦十分淺白，完全沒有深字，話雖如此，iEducation 想和大家談談 “together” 這個字。衆所周知，”together” 是「一起」、「連同」的意思，例子： 1. We live together. (我們住在一起) 2. The teacher put my mobile phone, together with John’s, on the desk beside her. (老師把我的手機、連同約翰的，放在旁邊的桌上) 如果有人跟你説，”You are a very together person”. 那是什麽意思呢? 將 ”together” 作形容詞用，是指一個人「沉著冷靜」、「有自信」或「有計劃」，是非正式用法，例子： My brother is a very together guy, however, he is unsociable. That’s why you don’t see us together much, (我兄弟是個很穩重的人，但他不喜歡交際，所以你不常見到我們在一起) 另外，你也許聼過人説 “pull yourself (oneself) together”，是叫人「控制情緒」、「冷靜下來」的意思，日常生活經常運用得到。 簡簡單單的英文字便有如此不同的用法，想增進英文能力的同學們，最有效的方法是到一個全英語環境的地方學習，iEducation 8月舉行的「澳洲名校網上面試週」，讓你可以了解更多!

三天前是「616」一週年，有2百萬+1香港人反對送中條例遊行示威, 遊行期間有示威人仕唱着歌劇《悲慘世界》(又名《孤星淚》) 的名曲 “Do You Hear The People Sing?” 。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUlQNsl4Qvk 一年了, 每次重聽此名曲會否都有一番的感觸? 今期iEducation便和大家講講這首「遊行神曲」，由南非出生英籍記者及填詞人Herbert Kretzmer填上英文歌詞，爲配合故事中平民也能唱，歌詞淺易近人，大家最熟悉的一段非常振奮人心的副歌莫屬： Do you hear the people sing? (你聼見民衆高唱嗎?) Singing the song of angry men? (唱著憤概者的歌) It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again! (這是不願再為奴的人的樂曲) When the beating of your heart (當你的心跳) Echoes the beating of the drums (和應戰鼓的響聲) There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! (明天到來，新生命即將展開!) iEducation想講講兩個簡單常見的字，”Echo” 和 “about” 。一般大家認識 “echo” 的意思是「回音」、「回響」，可作名詞和動詞用，例子： (名詞) You can hear the echoes of her heavy footsteps. (你聽到她沉重步伐的回音) (動詞) Her heavy footsteps echo in my ears. (她沉重的步伐在我耳中回響) “echo” 另一個常見/聼意思是「重複」、「附和」以表示同意，例子： He echoes the words of his friend who claimed to see the window was broken by a bull. (他附和朋友所説，聲稱公牛打破了窗子) 相信大家經常用 “about” 這個字，如作「介詞」(preposition) 用：This book is about the Umbrella Movement. (這本書講述「雨傘運動」) 又或「副詞」(adverb)，形容一個若數：There are about twenty students in the playground. (操場上大約有二十個學生) 其實，”about” 還可以作「形容詞」，表示「剛要」、「正準備」(去做一件事情)，與歌詞的用法一樣，結構是 “be + about + to (do something)”，例子： I was about to leave the cinema when you texted. (你發信息來的時候，我正要離開戲院) 你可能會問，”be about to” 和 “be going to” 有沒有分別 —— 上面的例子改成 “I was going to leave the cinema” 得唔得? 答案是「得」，但意思上 “be about to” 急切點、肯定點，下一秒或很快就會做。 簡簡單單的英文字便有如此不同的用法，想增進英文能力的同學們，可考慮到一個全英語環境的地方學習，例如澳洲、英國或加拿大等，歡迎聯絡我們iEducation的顧問索取更多資料!
