A: OK. Thanks for the tip!
2. Buying a Bike
A: I’m thinking of buying my own bike. But should I buy a road bike
or a mountain bike?
B: It depends. Will you be biking mainly on paved roads or on mountain trails?
A: Mostly on paved roads.
B: A road bike would be more suitable then. What’s your budget?
A: $700 to $800.
B: You should be able to get a decent bike for that price. A big factor in a bike’s
price is the material that the bike frame is made of. Aluminum frames are
cheaper and heavier, while carbon fiber frames are lighter but more expensive.
A: OK. What else should I pay attention to?
B: Your height and weight will determine the size of the bike frame you need.
It’s best to go to a bike shop and try out the bikes.
A: Hey, can you just go with me to the bike shop?
B: Sure, let’s go after work today.

Dear Readers,
There is a saying, “Good things come in small packages.” Do you believe that?
It certainly isn’t true all the time, but in the case of miniature art it is! In our
magazine this month, you’ll learn about artists who can create tiny masterpieces.
These masterpieces are as amazing as they are small!
Our world is full of amazing things, most of which are not small. Think about a tall
skyscraper, such as Taipei 101. It’s built very well out of concrete and steel, but did
you know that builders are now using wood to create skyscrapers? These building
are called plyscrapers. If you’re curious, you can learn more about them in our
magazine this month!
Being curious is a good thing. It usually means you are interested in a lot of things
and want to know more about them. I am interested in many things, so I read
about many different topics. Many successful people are curious. Learn more about
curiosity this month, too.
The world is full of interesting people, places and things and so is Studio Classroom!
We hope you enjoy learning about them in English this month!

Subject-Verb Agreement
主詞動詞一致性
A verb should always agree in number with its subject. Singular subjects take singular verbs, and
plural subjects take plural verbs. When you are looking for the subject of a verb, remember the
following tips:
一個句子的動詞必須在「單複數」方面與主詞一致；意指單數主詞用單數動詞、複數主詞搭配複
數動詞。尋找動詞所對應的主詞時，請記住下列提示：
● Prepositional phrases like at school, under my desk, through the woods, with great
sadness never contain the subject of a sentence.
Be especially careful when the subject of the sentence is an indefinite pronoun like one, all, each,
or both. These words are often followed by a prepositional phrase that separates the subject from
the verb.
當句子主詞為 one, all, each, both 等不定代名詞時，需要特別注意；這些不定代名詞之後常會接
介系詞片語，導致主詞、動詞分隔開來，因而造成誤解。
Incorrect: One of the cars were damaged. [cars is not the subject]
Correct: One of the cars was damaged. [the subject One needs a singular verb]
Incorrect: Both of the people in the van was safe. [van is not the subject]
Correct: Both of the people in the van were safe. [the subject Both is plural]
● The words there and here are not usually the subject of the verb even though they may
appear immediately before the verb.
諸如 there 和 here 這樣的字詞通常不是動詞所對應的主詞，即使它們經常出現在動詞的前面。
There are many reasons why I like you. [reasons is the subject]
Here is my workbook. [workbook is the subject]
● If a subject has two parts, joined by or, either … or, or neither … nor, make the verb agree
with the part of the subject nearest to it.
如果主詞被 or, either … or, neither … nor 之類的對等連接詞切分成兩部分，動詞則必須與最靠近
它的主詞相稱。

思辨園地
n by Anne Marie Nolan
Deep Think Think thoroughly through the topic. Discuss the

questions and brainstorm the answers with others!
Topic: Curiosity
The dictionary defines curiosity as a strong desire to know or learn something. This month, the article
“Intellectual Curiosity: The Healthy Appetite of a Hungry Mind” (p. 14) shows us the importance of staying
curious. We can see this theme throughout several other articles this month as well!
Curiosity about science and the way the world works is important for innovation and finding new
solutions. Two great examples of this are “Vertical Farming: Taking Food Production in a Different
Direction” (p. 22) and “Plyscrapers” (p. 48). William Kamkwamba’s thirst for knowledge led him to
solve a problem in his village by harnessing the wind (“The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind,” p. 46). Social
curiosity helps us empathize and learn about the way other people think. There’s no better app for learning
from others than Clubhouse (“Join the Club,” p. 26)!
Last but not least, curiosity is essential for language learners. When you are willing to ask the question
“why?” you gain valuable insight about how English works and why it works the way it does. Are you
allowing yourself to wonder? Maybe it’s time to get more curious so that your English can improve even
more!
Discussion Questions
1. Do you consider yourself to be a curious person?
2. What is a topic you’ve always been curious about? Why?
3. How can being more curious about English help you improve?
Deep Think Words of the Month:

innovation (n) – a new method, idea or product
thirst for knowledge (phrase) – curiosity that motivates learning and study
empathize (v) – to understand and share the feelings of someone else
wonder (v) – to desire to know something; to feel curious

Notice of Fare Increase and Bus Schedule Changes

Due to budget cuts and reduction of routes in sparsely populated areas, the City of Inecton’s Department of
Transportation will be making the following changes to the city’s bus services. The effective date of these
changes will be Sept. 1, 2021.
Fare Increase
Cash fares on all bus routes will increase by $0.25, from $2.25 to $2.50. Student tickets will increase by $0.10, from
$1.40 to $1.50. Ticket prices for passengers under 12 and over 65 will remain the same at $0.75. Transit Passes will
also be increasing from $95 to $105 per month.
Bus Schedule Changes

Service Reductions: The service for Bus #45 (Airport to Downtown) and Bus #18 (San Peters to Aracade Mall) will
be limited to noon until 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. The frequency of the service will be changed from every 12
minutes to every 15 minutes.
Service Changes: Changes will be made to the routes of Bus #6 (Downtown to Orange Park) and Bus #85
(Downtown to Orchard Church). The new last northbound bus will leave downtown at 10:05 p.m., and the
new last southbound bus will leave the respective stations at 10:02 p.m.
Schedule Change: To help with the traffic flow due to the school dismissal times of both Renege High and Alltie
Elementary, Bus #73 will change its eastbound trip to operate 10 minutes later. The bus will leave Renege High
at 2:45, 2:56, 3:05 and 3:16 p.m.

Subject: Bus Fare Increases and Schedule Changes
Date: Aug. 5, 2021
To Whom It May Concern:
To say that we are upset would be an understatement. We are incredibly displeased by the increase in fares and
the changes on many of the bus routes we rely on. As commuters who have been major promoters of using
public transportation, and as taxpayers who are footing the bill for bus service, we are furious that you have
decided to charge so much more per ride and have decreased service as well!
Public transportation is essential in our city, and raising costs to ride will be a huge detriment to our city as
fewer people will be able to afford it. There are many side effects to this and we’re wondering if you even
considered the impact your changes will make.
We hope that you will rethink these changes, especially the fare hikes, and ensure that our city doesn’t follow
that of others where cars become the main mode of transportation.
Sincerely,
Suzanne & Richard Boite

袖珍世界微型藝術
掬一手顯微鏡下的精緻藝術
30
好東西不在個頭大。這句話對於微型藝術而言尤其如
此；這種藝術手法透過近距離檢視，往往能將事物
極度微妙細膩之處顯露出來。
倫敦國家藝廊將「以極小比例繪製精細畫作的人」稱
為微型藝術家；而微型藝術家所創作的作品則稱為微型藝
術。全世界有不少地方都能發現早期微型作品的蹤跡；例
如，印度有繪製在七點六二公分寬棕櫚葉上的微小圖樣。
在中國靈井被挖掘出土、高度十二點五公釐的鳥形雕像，
則被稱為中國最古老的雕刻藝術品。這個估計具有一萬三
千年歷史的雕刻品，很可能也是世界上最古老的微型藝術
品之一。
多年來，微型藝術家已運用多種不同素材創作出以人
物、動物、風景為題的袖珍畫作、雕像以及雕刻品。當代
哥倫比亞微型藝術家芙洛兒˙卡瓦哈爾，便創作出甚為精
巧，因此可以放置在縫紉針眼間的雕塑品。
微型藝術家有兩個必備條件：大量的時間及耐心才能
成就微型藝術創作。
31
若干微型藝術之顯著特點是，這些作品應該便於攜帶
且大小能置於手中。就品質而言，微型藝術作品理應毫無
瑕疵，即便與大型藝術創作相較也毫不遜色。雖然小巧，
但微型藝術品必須架構完整。有人曾說：「一件微型作品
的設計必須始終經得起近距離檢視；其設計用意是為了讓
人拿在手中……仔細檢視，甚至是用放大鏡細看。」
袖珍微型畫作必須以極其細膩的筆觸才能完成，因此
當作品被放大檢視時，那令人讚嘆的細緻處便能因而更加
彰顯出來。同樣的，微型雕塑以及其他所有形式的微型藝
術品皆然。
當攝影技術在十九世紀初期出現時，微型藝術便開始
失去對大眾的吸引力。不過，過去的這三十年來，微型藝
