得知第一次考IELTS竟然过了，于是有点自满，不想挑战刷分了。近两个周没写作文了了，手又陌生了，词伙也忘得差不多了，还是要勤于Anki。这次续起来，一定不能断。

Insights
- be the key to. to是介词，后面必须跟doing
- low income family 低收入家庭 ，不要写成 low-income，因为 family 和 income 并没有构成主谓结构（这是我自己的理解) 例如 problem-solving ability，这里能力ability和解决solve是主动关系，类似这样的要加横线。
- be the solution to this problem 是解决问题的方法
- tertiary/secondary/primary education 大学、中学、小学
- embrace opportunities for 拥有机会
- 表示也许是用 may be 不要用 maybe is，显得多啰嗦啊
- be reluctant to 犹豫、不愿意做
Nor的用法
nor+be动词/助动词/情态动词 + 主语+谓语+其他部分
例如文中：
Governments may not be able to provide free education for all students. Nor do they have adequate money to support some equally important services such as primary and secondary education.
