從2013 Paper 1 Q.53講Long Question
-
53. Why is the comment, ‘SUZANNE, ARE YOU PURPOSELY TORTURING YOUR FANS!?!?!?’ (Lines 54-55) described as ‘half mocking’?
1️⃣首先你要識“mocking"解 “揶揄”，屬於negative字眼，而”half mocking”就應該係啲人半正面、半負面咁樣，所以就同之前喺youtube所講嘅”controversy”/“contradiction”題型咁expect有兩樣相對嘅事情，答案應該有個”but”字。
2️⃣其次comment上”torturing”解”折磨”，”fans”係post comment嘅readers所自稱嘅，imply咗嗰個人鍾意睇Suzanne嘅書(positive部份)，但(but)同時Suzanne做咗啲嘢係折磨咗佢啲讀者，而我哋正正就係要揾埋呢嚿torturing嘅negative部份。
3️⃣之後我哋睇返原文”The books tend to end in cliff-hangers that provoke their readers to post half-mocking protestations...”，可以睇到前半忽係”provoke their readers...”嘅原因(因為“that”字已經show咗因果關係)。
4️⃣最後唔識”end in cliff-hangers”係冇咩所謂，見到個”end”字就知同書嘅”ending”有關，所以negative嘅部份寫返”The readers don’t like the ending of the books”就可以，完整答案就係”The readers like/enjoy Suzanne’s books but they do not like the ending.”

REMEMBER: “contradictory”/“controversial”/“half-X”嘅題目記得諗清楚有幾部份答案，多數至少有兩部份。👍🏼
