[神速改善作文] 避免 Careless Mistakes，掌握 Proofreading 的秘訣！

無論是舊制 HKCEE / HKALE 還是現時的 HKDSE，英文作文一直是本港學生的天敵，不少補習學生反映：無論如何付出，好似成效不大，每段都有老師用紅筆圈的或交叉的錯處。怎麼算呢？#讀書心得分享 #文憑試 #學英文

以 DSE 準則而言，一篇好文章的三大準則是 Content + Language + Organization。

Language 可算是最容易改善的部份，只要記熟中一至中三學的文法規則便可！學生不難發現：老師打交叉的錯處經常是我們俗稱的 Careless Mistakes，即是學生寫的時候並不為意是錯文法的，但老師一用紅筆圏起就頓時明白了！Careless Mistakes 的出現，最主要是沒有記熟文法規則，或者完成作文後沒有預留 10 -20 mins Proofread 校對文章！

這篇 Blog 主要教大家如何善用 Proofreading 減少 Careless Mistakes。

綜合十多年的補習經驗，歸納了以下最常見的學生錯處，以後 Proofread 文章時要特別留意。謹記：Proofreading 是一門學問，學生不可單靠老師的紅筆，需自行 Proofread 每篇所寫的文章，日積月累，Proofreading 的功力漸見成熟，你就會發現 Careless Mistakes 已不知不覺遠離你了！
