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 。

雖然新冠肺炎確診個案連續第四日少於一百宗，大家千萬不要鬆懈；澳洲維多利亞省的確診數字近日急升，現於墨爾本的同學們要加倍小心，嚴格遵守宵禁令和居家避疫規定。 大家無得出街可能覺得非常凄慘，留在家裏「渾渾噩噩」、日復日，在英文中可以怎樣說呢? 講答案前不如先聽聽Katy Perry 的新歌 “Smile”： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQPSRQtABdU 一開始是副歌部分，之後第一節歌詞： Every day, Groundhog Day Goin' through motions felt so fake Not myself, not my best Felt like I failed the test “Groundhog Day” 「土撥鼠日」，在美國和加拿大適用，正式指的是2月2日，相傳該日土撥鼠冬眠醒來，如果見到自己的影子，知道春天未來，便返回洞再睡；如果不見影子，就知道陰陰的春天到了。 但歌詞所指的並非2月2 日那麽簡單， 1993年有一套電影叫 “Groundhog Day”，内容講述主人翁被困在時間環裏，每天重覆著2月2 日，所以後來 “Groundhog Day” 引申為「重重覆覆、日日如是」，例子： My COVID-19 life never changes. Every day is a Groundhog Day – eat, work, sleep. (我的新冠肺炎生活永不改變，日日如是：吃、返工、睡) “Goin’ through motions” 的完整説法是 “go through the motions”，這句短語非常有用，可能説中很多人的心聲，意思是「漫不經心、毫無熱情地做事」、「渾渾噩噩」、「扮嘢」，例子： I don’t want to study. However, mom is watching so I better go through the motions. (我不想溫書，但媽媽在看，我最好裝裝樣子) 希望各位同學們這段時間並非過著 Groundhog Days，JUPAS下星期四放榜，有意做定兩手準備海外留學的同學，歡迎聯絡iEducation索取更多資料 。

日前有12名民主派參選人被立法會選舉主任取消資格，不知道以後立法會内還有沒有其他聲音的存在？現届立法會是否最後一年有異見者? 香港近來似乎經歷很多「最後一次」，可能是最後一次上街遊行、最後一次自由自在地發表意見、BNO持有人可能是最後一次同時擁有香港永久居民身份等等，希望這次疫情也是最後一次。 LANY的新歌 “If This is the Last Time” (如果這是最後一次) ，講述親情，歌詞簡單但溫馨感人，提醒大家珍惜眼前人，尤其是父母： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPbG4mIgKAw 歌詞一開首已很動人： hey mom i know we're getting old (嘿 媽媽我知道我們都變老) and the lines on our hands have changed (我們的掌紋也變了) but you still look at me the same (但您看我的眼神不變) hey mom guess what you're really tough (嘿 媽媽 您知道嗎 您很剛强) and i know you did all you could (我知道您儘所能) just to make sure my life was good (只為保我生活好) 副歌也完全沒難字，大家可以輕易記得歌詞： if this is the last time please come close (如果這是最後一次請靠近) i love you with all my heart you know (您知道我全心愛您) i don't wanna cry i'm bad at goodbye (我不想哭 我不精於道別) if this is the last time (如果這是最後一次) then let's do the things we always do (那讓我們做平常做的事) like go to the mall and buy some shoes (像去商場買鞋) i don't wanna cry i'm bad at goodbye (我不想哭 我不精於道別) if this is the last time (如果這是最後一次) 承接我們的貼圖問題，「選舉主任」的英文是什麽呢? “election head”? “ election in-charge” ? 答案是 “Returning officer” 。 “Return” 一般是用法是「歸還」、「返回」的意思，但同時亦有「選票(結果)」和「選舉」的意思，作名詞和動詞用均可，例子： These are the returns from Kowloon West. (這是九龍西的選票) She was returned with an increased majority. (她以大比數當選)

DSE前日 (22日) 放榜，希望各位考生考取滿意成績，不論成績是否符合預期，有興趣了解外海升學的同學和家長，不妨聯絡iEducation索取相關資料。 我們明白今屆應考生除了要應付DSE外，還有很多外憂内患：社會動蕩、疫情爆發、試題取消等，如果有考生因此影響溫書心情，成績不如人意的話，iEducation送上打氣歌 “Fight Song，”希望同學不要灰心，仍有出路! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo1VInw-SKc 副歌振奮人心，又容易上口，歌詞更是淺易： This is my fight song (這是我的戰鬥歌) Take back my life song (重奪我生命的歌) Prove I'm alright song (證明我還好的歌) My power's turned on (我啓動我的能量) Starting right now I'll be strong (有現在開始我會堅強) I'll play my fight song (播我的戰鬥之歌) And I don't really care if nobody else believes (不理會有沒有人相信) 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me (因爲我仍有強很鬥志) “fight” 這個字大家都認識，一般的理解是 「鬥爭」(名詞)、「對抗」/「打鬥」(動詞)，從歌詞中可見還有另一個意思 —— 「鬥志」(名詞)，日常生活中不時可以用到： It appears there is no fight in the team. (看起來隊伍毫無鬥志) 另外，動詞的 “fight” 也可以更靈活地使用，有「壓抑」的意思，譬如説某人強忍眼淚，在英語可以説成和「和淚水搏鬥」：I walked out of the room fighting my tears. (我強忍眼淚，步出房) I fought the urge to criticize him for his rude comments. (他的意見無禮，但我壓抑批評他的衝動) 疫情持續，大家務必做好防護措施，齊齊fight COVID-19
