愛會在凌晨惦起　跳躍了時空差距 為何要束縛自己　讓彼此不能呼吸

Love will rise before dawn, cutting across time and space Why bind yourself, making each other unable to breathe?

不仅……也/还/而且

The conjunction “不仅” (not only) is used in the first clause, often followed by “也/还/而且” in the second clause, indicating a further meaning in addition to what has been said in the first clause. “不仅” is used after the subject when two clauses share one subject, and it is used before the first subject when the two clauses have different subjects. For example:

他不仅足球踢得好，性格也不错。

小时候，他经常生病，所以每天都去跑步锻炼身体。谁也没有想到，长大以后，他不仅身体健康，还成了一名长跑运动员。

我打算去云南玩儿，听说那边不仅很美，而且人也非常热情。

李老师不仅喜欢看电影，也喜欢看书。

他不仅喜欢打篮球，还喜欢游泳。

不仅我会做中国菜，而且我也会做葡萄牙菜。

GLOSS - Global Language Online Support System

This online resource has tons of resources for lots of different languages, and it is totally free!

There are lots of lessons catered to different levels which tailor vocab practice as well as listening and reading comprehension. I would say that the vocabulary and scenarios are generally more geared up towards security/defence and diplomacy, so if you are studying international relations or something geared towards the international sphere, this may be particularly interesting!

Then you can select different types of activities, which you can download onto your computer as MP3s and PDFs. The activities are categorised based on what skill they train. There are reading and vocab activities that help build up knowledge. Although the topics are pretty specific, they are really useful for getting vocab practice in areas that you are not so familiar with!

The activities are diverse and varied, with explanations for answers that were not correct!

There is also a glossary for all the new words, which has an audio file to listen to the pronunciation by a native speaker. This is particularly useful for self study, especially when contact with native speakers is less frequent.

All in all I really rate the website, the resources are a really great compliment to language studies, and although they are kind of ‘old school’ in their approach, they seem really effective!
