A good idea is to behave well to other people, show them respect. And help them as much as you possibly can, and it will be repaid hundredfolds.

語音講解：

今日發音練習重點：

1. idea不要發出/r/音。當后面遇到元音時，會帶出/r/，如 idea of

2. hundred中第一個音節既不是“漢”，也不是“航”。要掌握/ʌn/音組

言之有物：

1. 詞語辨析：possibly&probably

→possibly有三種用法：

① 可能；或許

It was possibly their worst performance ever.

這也許是他們迄今為止最糟糕的表現。

③ 表加強語氣：

I can't possibly tell you that!

我絕不會把那件事告訴你的！

You can't possibly carry all those bags. 你絕對拿不了所有這些包包袋袋的。

（詞鏈兒：can't possibly do something 絕不可能做某事 ）

→probably 幾乎肯定；很可能；大概

你很可能是對的。

The two cases are most probably connected.

這兩樁案件極有可能互相關聯。
