國中英語基測出現過 written 的考題。

Helen: Here, Frank, this is the schedule for this semester.

Frank: Thanks, Helen. Anything new?

Helen: Yeah. We're going to study Latin this year.

Frank: Latin? Isn't that a dead language? Why should we learn a language that is not spoken anymore?

Helen: Well, we should. Many important books are written in Latin.

Frank: And who's going to teach it?

Helen: Mrs. Filch.

Frank: What? That old witch? Well...Yeah...she is the BEST teacher for a DEAD language.

Helen: Don't be so mean, Frank. It's going to be interesting.

Frank: You know Mrs. Filch hates me. If I have to take her class, I'm dead!
