As one of the most widely recognized English-language standardised tests worldwide, the IELTS assesses the proficiency of non-native English users aspiring to study, work, and live in English-speaking countries. The Academic Test offers higher education and professional registration applicants an opportunity to engage with academic and professional language, while the General Training Test equips people considering immigration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom with the basic linguistic knowledge required to live in those countries.
This English course seeks to prepare students to take the IELTS as its objective, while also building fluency and flexibility through regular use of the language along the way. Designed to assess and improve skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking English; this course encourages students to become confident in their language abilities. No matter what purpose it is that students want to take the test for, all can benefit from a more comprehensive understanding of English grammar and their individual potential in language use.

《史記》非單純歷史，乃一四通六僻、運而無所積之古今世界必讀書，不僅廢止讀經前之中國，歷來日本皇室至今亦世代相傳。其不可不讀者四端：一曰史學之開山，以其用紀傳代編年之體；二曰經部之支流，以其以諸《列傳》、前四《本紀》、眾《世家》、前《三書》，與群經《尚書》《左傳》《禮記》等相表裏；三曰子家之要刪，以其作列傳敘次諸子生平，推論其著書，隱發其精義；四曰文章之大宗，以史記積健為雄、疏縱而奇，以為唐宋八家行散之禰。讀一書可抵千百書矣。另此小組乃春秋經之學前必修班 (欲報《孫子》之學員非必修，惟鼓勵報讀，以《自序》控其道統指要耳)。其他學員則可獨立報名。

This full-fledged formation programme on Sun Tze’s The Art of War is probably the first one in recent times of Hong Kong to study the world classic in its entirety, and to learn and start applying the wisdom therein. The programme will examine war and peace and strategy in their fullest scope: their nature, their components, their science, their power, their dilemmas, their limits. The military realm aside, the wisdom in The Art of War will be taught as it should be, with the hope that those wisdom and knowledge be justly and righteously applied in business or organizational settings, among human relations, and in personal life. And with the world approaching global and regional unrest, the time may have rightly come for students to learn the time-honoured wisdom of knowing thyself, knowing the world as it is, and knowing how to whistle in peace and in the dark.
The Art of War 孫子兵法 was elevated to its present status as a key world classic and the cardinal strategic text after the Second World War, and have since been taught systematically in the major military academies around the globe, and in a piecemeal fashion, in top business schools. Its ideas with War and Peace have given the world—in a general sense only, while not forgetting the atrocities that have happened here and there—a relatively longer period of respite compared to former times. And in business the Japanese’s ardent love for the book has served them well in catapulting their management execution and strategic planning, leading to their meteoric rise in economic dominance from the 70s to the 90s.

適逢全球衰世之端，且看史記太史公自序之言，蘄以對觀：「董生〔仲舒〕曰：『周道衰廢，孔子為魯司寇，諸侯害之，大夫壅之。孔子知言之不用，道之不行也，是非二百四十二年之中，以為天下儀表，貶天子，退諸侯，討大夫，以達王事而已矣。』子曰：『我欲載之空言，不如見之於行事之深切著明也。』夫春秋，上明三王之道，下辨人事之紀，別嫌疑，明是非，定猶豫，善善惡惡，賢賢賤不肖，存亡國，繼絕世，補敝起廢，王道之大者也。… 是故易以道化，春秋以道義。撥亂世反之正，莫近於春秋。春秋文成數萬，其指數千。萬物之散聚皆在春秋。春秋之中，弒君三十六，亡國五十二，諸侯奔走不得保其社稷者不可勝數。察其所以，皆失其本已。故易曰『失之豪釐，差以千里』。故曰『臣弒君，子弒父，非一旦一夕之故也，其漸久矣』。故有國者不可以不知春秋，前有讒而弗見，後有賊而不知。為人臣者不可以不知春秋，守經事而不知其宜，遭變事而不知其權。為人君父而不通於春秋之義者，必蒙首惡之名。為人臣子而不通於春秋之義者，必陷篡弒之誅，死罪之名。其實皆以為善，為之不知其義，被之空言而不敢辭。夫不通禮義之旨，至於君不君，臣不臣，父不父，子不子。夫君不君則犯，臣不臣則誅，父不父則無道，子不子則不孝。此四行者，天下之大過也。以天下之大過予之，則受而弗敢辭。故春秋者，禮義之大宗也。夫禮禁未然之前，法施已然之後；法之所為用者易見，而禮之所為禁者難知。」
蓋古今天下之變，理亂之智，皆備於春秋。觀乎其時之名卿大夫，身當其變者，莫不有堅忍之志，深沉之略，應傾之才，發而不可禦之勇，久而不可回之力，以謹操其事之始終而成確然之效。故此小組之旨，在帶領學員明其理，達其變；以春秋左傳為史事，公羊穀梁二傳及散佚故事為經義，錯舉二百四十二年之成案，精思而力辨之，置身當日，如親受其任。庶幾配以自身之閱歷煅煉，學員身逢季世之所遭，能得力於動忍益損之間。
