.追猎; 不断侵扰,烦扰; 激励; 嗾使,煽动

前文提到用There is + a+ adj+ debate/concern/discussion+ about/over/on引出作文題目,今日篇文章會練習用…but the problem of …still hounds…這句構。

用這個題目做例子:Even though developing countries receive financial help, poverty is still an issue. Some say they should be receiving other kind of help, to eliminate poverty. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give examples and suggest what other form of help can be offered.

我們可用這句作開頭:Millennia have passed but the problem of poverty still hounds mankind. (二千年過去但貧窮的問題仍然糾纏著人類。)

我嘗試用這種…but the problem of still hounds…這句構按不同題目作一些句子:

例題:Students from rural areas often find it difficult to access university education. Some people think that it should become easier for them to study at universities. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

造句:Today, university education seems indispensable but the problem of university entry still hounds students from rural areas.

例題四:We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used for in future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits?

but造句:Computers bring tremendous benefits to our lives but they also pose a threat to our well-being due to our dependence on them.

例題五:Public libraries should only provide books and should not waste their limited resources on expensive high-tech media such as software, videos or DVDs. Do you agree or disagree?

but造句:Multi-media materials are more popular than books today but some people still assert that public libraries should store books only.
