- 已經有部分同學，造出來的句子是錯的，恐怕是透過中文來了解，而造成用字歧誤。如果你造出來的句子很短，有我的名字在內，或草草了事以交差，那麼別懷疑，就是你！別再造句了，趕緊去找句子，看看作家或其他文字工作者的用法。畢竟，把那麼擲地有聲的字用在輕如鴻毛的句型（sb. is a ...person; sb. is very ...），真是有點暴殄天物，也讓學習印象較不深刻呀！趕快，去查看別人的用法！
- 同義字的遴選，不可超過兩個，不可選出更新的單字，那不是我們的目的。同義字是用來幫助記憶的，不是用來變相增加那一週的單字的，請大家別貪多。一定的負擔＋一定的輕鬆，學習才會長久，不要在單字上再加單字，不要在擔子上再加擔子！
- 句子盡量"抄襲模仿"；同義字盡量自己想（同義字詞限定high-school level較佳）。
