Over the past several months, I’ve been thinking about how I can better contribute to the English learning of our fans on this page. We currently have close to 50,000 followers, and it is my social responsibility to make full use of my voice as a positive force.
過去的幾個月裡，我不停地思考，該如何在這個粉絲專頁上，為粉絲們的英語學習做出更多的貢獻。畢竟，我們的追蹤人數已將近50,000人，而充分利用我的聲音，發揮正面的力量，是我的社會責任。

It was immensely difficult figuring out how I could better serve you. There are already numerous pages focusing on life-skills English, test prep, tidbits of knowledge, and even SLA theories and teaching methodologies.
其實，要找到一個最好的方式來協助大家學習英語，是件非常困難的事。在網路上，已經有非常多的平台提供──實用英語、考試準備、知識型趣聞，甚至是教學方法以及第二語言學習理論。

Since 2012, I have shared mostly English learning articles, educational resources, and current events. I have taught many of our followers in person and have watched you grow from high school and college students to mothers, fathers, and successful professionals in every domain imaginable.
自2012年以來，我主要分享了教育資源、英語學習的文章與時事。我本人也指導過許多粉絲，並非常榮幸地見證了同學們從中大學時代逐漸為人父、為人母，抑或蛻變為各專業領域的成功人士。

Over this period of seven years (yes, it's been that long), I have come to better understand my own strengths and role as a teacher. I had the opportunity to return to school at the age of 38 and view English learning from diverse perspectives. Through these lenses, I feel that while the English learners on this page are knowledgeable, we, as second language learners, tend to focus on the mechanics of the language rather than its pragmatic uses. While language mechanics are undoubtedly crucial to learners, English is not only a tool for testing and basic communication. It is a vehicle for higher-level thinking, self-empowerment, collaboration, and change.
在粉絲專頁成立的這七年當中，我更清楚地意識到自己的優勢，以及如何更有效率地扮演教師的角色。我有機會在38歲時回到校園，從嶄新的角度看待英語學習。正因如此，我也察覺到粉專上，有許多知識淵博的英語學習者，但作為第二語言學習者，我們習於關注語言的結構與機制，卻忽略其目的與功能。雖然語言的機制對學習者而言，無疑是重要的，但英語並非只是用來應付考試或基礎交流的工具。它是進階思考、自我實踐、談判磋商與改變現狀的一種手段。

Thus, I aim to provide you with live discussions of current events in English and explore, analyze, evaluate, and discuss-not debate-key issues. We will examine topics from diverse domains, but rather than just acquiring knowledge, we will use the language to think in different perspectives and facilitate change both within ourselves and others.
因此，我的目標是以全英語的方式，為同學直播時事的討論。並與各位探討、分析及評估──而不是辯論──關鍵議題。我們將仔細探究不同領域的主題，藉此獲取知識，並以英語進行不同視角的思考，而教學相長
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We will step out of our comfort zones and echo chambers and focus on pertinent world issues, turning them into valuable lessons rather than fleeting TV captions. Together, I aim to transform our page into a medium that facilitates the pragmatic and sociocultural uses of English, helping you to apply and use what you learn to connect with the world and succeed.
我們將走出自己的舒適圈與同溫層，專注在全球性的議題，令其成為有價值的知識，而非新聞跑馬燈上轉瞬即逝的文字。總之，我的目標是將我們的粉絲專頁，轉變為實用且兼具社會文化的英語平台，並應用我們所學的知識，與世界產生聯繫，最終取得成功。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Let’s continue learning English here, not only as a language but a tool for change and mutual success.
英文不只是語言，更是幫助我們改變與成功的工具。就讓我們繼續在這裡學習英文吧！
