【明報專訊】We may be tall or short. Some of us look attractive; some of us look ordinary. The truth is that, such characteristics do not stand for anything good or bad in particular.

“ MoMo: The one who first catches another's "tail" will be the winner! ”

“ Dr Panda: Let's start! ”

“ Eason: May I join you? Catch my tail if you can, hahaha! ”

“ Pat: Eason! I will catch you! ”

“ Eason: You are so short, Bill. You can't even get your cap back now! ”

“ Bill: But I can catch you! ”

“ Dr Panda: Tall or short, one has strengths and weaknesses. ”

■English highway: -sentences

The ... is that

When we want to put the focus on something, we can begin a sentence with "the truth is". "Truth" can be replaced with words like answer, point, problem, trouble, fact, question, thing and solution.

e.g. The problem is that I don't get enough sleep.
