2年获得学位（副学士+2年本科）

你的 CGPA 和大学选择

现在您是副学士或高级文凭的第二年, 毕业后想走得更远? 想在获得副学士后申请2年本科, 最重要的是CGPA:

另外还得注意以下5点

Point 1: 哪所大学更容易申请

• 香港有很多大学可供申请，但有些大学或某些课程比较容易申请。
• 我们会分析您的情况，找出最适合您的大学。

Point 2: 哪些课程比较容易申请

• 香港的选择很多，但有一些课程比较容易申请。

• 如果你申请了错误的课程，那就是浪费你的宝贵的机会。

Point 3: 选择第一年还是第三年入学（如果你的 CGPA 不够好）

• 对于某些课程，第三年的入学比第一年更容易，你知道为什么吗?
• 很多学生认为三年级入学比较困难，但事实可能并非如此。

Point 4: 申报时没有英文成绩(如雅思, IELTS)

• 入学面试以及offer不会因为你还没考雅思就不给机会。
• 但是offer发出之后，在時限內/或者开学前没有相应的成绩证明，将无法入学。

Point 5: 怎样有面试/有offer

• 首先，CGPA是最重要的标准。
• 副学士一年级的，将会按照第一年度上学期的CGPA。
• 副学士是按照3个学期的CGPA，按成绩派发面试。

申报时间及程序

按惯例，每年开学后10-11月份开始就会接受副学士同学报名。具体时间需要各自上不同学府的网站，每个学校的时间和平台都不一样。

12月开始或者2-3月开始，派发面试邀请。面试完之后等通知，表现越好，越快收到offer。到下年9月份前，都有机会收到offer，只是越靠后，机会越渺茫。

You will know what they are after reading a few examples:

• two-word prepositions: as to, except for
• three-word prepositions: in comparison with, in addition to
• four-word prepositions: with a view to, for the benefit of

Alright. But you may ask a question. How to use these prepositions to get higher scores at IELTS writing? Let’s check out a real example regarding task 1.

Read the following sentences:

Between 2010 and 2019, government’s spending on all four of the largest areas had dropped.
However, spending on pensions was an exception.

It looks good but you will most probably get level 5, not even 6, with sentences like this. So what are you going to do?

A four-word preposition comes to your rescue.

If you go back to the last two words of the last sentence, you will notice the words “an exception”, right? So, can you change it into a four-word preposition with the same meaning?

Right. Just change “an exception” to ‘with the exception of” and the sentences become:

Between 2010 and 2019, government’s spending on all four of the largest areas had dropped, with the exception of pensions.

In a word, by using a more-than-one-word preposition, your level will be enhanced.
