修改原因
修改前The course covers grammar and vocabulary. Except this, it includes weekly speaking practice.
修改后The course covers grammar and vocabulary. What is more, it includes weekly speaking practice.
Except this 看起来可能是在说“除此之外还有”。但 except 表示不包括,会从一组内容中排除某项,而不是添加。这里要为课程补充一个优点,所以把 except this 换成 What is more。
缩写 what's more 更口语化,在交谈中经常接在 and 后:It's cheap, and what's more, it's right next to the station。作文可以写完整形式 What is more,也可以使用更正式的 moreover 或 furthermore。
动手练习
