3: 'Begin' or 'Start'?
Since they are very similar to each other, they can both be used with the same meaning.
兩者基本上通用。
However, in formal writing (or when you are talking in a relatively formal way), we generally prefer using 'begin' instead of 'start'.
但前者比後者較多用或適用於正式文書及對話。
Formal:
(Referendum即全民公投。
英國脫歐公投普遍被叫作 'Brexit referendum', 'EU referendum'。
正式名為United Kingdom European Union Membership Referendum。
而經常被提及的「國會」是 The Parliament of the UK。通常被稱作'the UK Parliament'或'the British Parliament' 。
The UK parliamentary is the supreme legislative body in the UK.
relative words:
- Parliamentary Sovereignty 國會主權
- Legislation 立法
- Separation of Powers 權力分立
- Constitution 憲法 )
Informal:
雖則兩者相近，但以下情況不可使用'Begin':
- Start a journey
e.g. It's better for us to start at 6:00am because there might be a traffic jam during peak hours.
('peak hours' 是指繁忙時段)
- Start working (用於機器)
e.g. The motor won't start.
- make something start
e.g. 1: How do you start the machine?
2: The host fired the gun to start to race.
('fire a gun' 即開槍)

4: 'Fun' or 'Funny'?
'Fun'是一個countable名詞，但也可用作形容詞。
每次見到就諗到希哥
此句中的'fun'是名詞。整句書面解釋是「你看上去像是種趣味(有趣的人)。」
但明顯是有sexual meaning。
在比較不正經的Flirting當中，'fun'是很常用的。
可對對象說'you seem like fun', 'you seem like a lot of fun', 'you seem fun(這個fun是形容詞)'。 但不推薦毒撚使用。
'Fun' can be used after 'be' (即is, am, are, was, were, been) to say that people or things are entertaining or enjoyable.
('The game is fun. Isn't it?'
'They weren't friendly. Were they?'
這些是反問。有「不是嗎？」的意思。)
在不正規英語中，'fun'可以直接用在名詞前。
'Funny'則只是形容詞。
但與'Fun(adj.)'有些不同
'Fun(adj.)'主要是解作「好玩」等等意思，'fun things/ people'多指該事物或人可以讓用家/身邊人感到享受
Funny則是主要形容該事物或人，與受眾未必有直接感受上的關係。
前者(如果不是用於flirting之上)較重於說話者與其真正相處後的感覺。
後者則是指'he'為人有趣。
adj.即adjective即形容詞

5: Go from strength to strength
'To go from strength to strength'即不斷漸漸地強大起來
用法不複雜，可當成'to gradually become more successful'使用。
這與以下這句並無分別：
可唔可以講下
From strength to strength 點用

The animal rights groups have gone from strength to strength since the large-scale social protest in May.
那些動物權益組織由五月那大型抗議開始漸漸邁去成功。
