這張題卡的準備方式

這張題卡(cue card)檢驗的是,你能不能描述一位公眾人物並說明他受歡迎的原因,而不是像一份事實清單。要點從身分、工作談到原因,而「explain」那一行要的是個人的反應,所以考官會聽你有沒有說出因果關係(「people like her because…」),以及你的意見聽起來是不是真的出自你自己。

最容易取材的真實角度,是你自己城市裡人人都會提到的人:有名的廚師、教練、當地的音樂人,或是廣播裡的聲音。你不需要見過這個人。你需要的是兩三個具體的受歡迎理由,例如一個習慣、一種風格,或是他為社區做的事,因為「everyone loves him」什麼也沒解釋。

用這1分鐘記下名字、工作和兩個理由。名字清楚說一次就好,工作用一句話描述,把你最好的語言留給理由,以及最後你自己的感受。流暢的比較(「unlike other chefs, she…」)能快速拉高回答的層次。

讓回答更出色的詞彙

比起「famous」或「popular」,這些片語更精準地描述名聲和受歡迎的程度。

單字或片語 意思 例句
a household name 在一個地區幾乎人人都知道的人 She is a household name in Arequipa.
to be well known for something 因為某項特質或技能而有名聲 He is well known for his generosity.
a loyal following 多年來持續支持某人的一群粉絲 The show has built a loyal following over time.
to have a reputation for 被廣泛認為具有某種特質 She has a reputation for honest, simple cooking.
down to earth 雖然有名,卻謙虛又容易親近 Despite the attention, she is completely down to earth.
to give something back 回饋一直支持你的社區 He wants to give something back to the town.
word of mouth 在交談中傳開的消息或意見 The restaurant grew mostly through word of mouth.
a local landmark 當地人人都認得的人或地方 By now, she is a bit of a local landmark.
to be in the spotlight 受到大眾很多的關注 He prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
to take pride in something 為某項特質或成就感到高興 I take pride in the fact that she comes from our city.

同一個回答的Band 6、7、8版本

以下3個範例回答講的是完全相同的故事,不同的只有英文本身。將游標移到標示的片語上或點一下,就能看到考官會注意的地方。請把它們當作各分數等級典型表現的示範,而不是要背的稿子。

Band 6

I would like to describe Lucia Mamani, a cook who is famous in Arequipa, the city in southern Peru where I live. She has a small traditional restaurant near my district, and every Sunday she have主詞動詞不一致:應為「has」 a short programme on the local radio, where she explains old recipes from our region. She opened the restaurant twenty years ago, after she work時態錯誤:應為「worked」 in her aunt’s kitchen as a girl. People like her for some reasons. First, her food is very tasty基本詞彙,限制了Lexical Resource的分數 and it taste主詞動詞不一致:應為「tastes」 like the dishes our grandmothers made. Second, she is not proud, you know當作停頓使用的填充詞, she comes out of the kitchen and says hello to every customer. I remember last year my family go時態錯誤:應為「went」 there for my mother’s birthday, and she remember時態錯誤:應為「remembered」 my grandmother’s name, which surprised us a lot. There is also a queue outside the restaurant at lunch, and some tourists even come from Lima to try her good soup說法含糊,換成更精準的字詞會讓句子更好. She also teaches young people from the neighbourhood to cook, er自然的停頓,填充詞不顯眼, so they can find a job. Last month a journalist from a national newspaper wrote about her, and now more people know her name. When I eat her food, I feel connected with my family and my history. I feel proud that she is from my city, and I am respecting狀態動詞進行式錯誤:應為「respect」 her because she keeps our traditions alive. She is a very good基本形容詞,限制了Lexical Resource的分數 person and I would like to learn from her one day.

Band 7

I’d like to describe Lucia Mamani, a cook who’s a household name in Arequipa, the city in southern Peru where I live. She runs a small traditional restaurant near my district, and every Sunday she has a short slot on the local radio, where she explains old recipes from our region. She opened the restaurant twenty years ago, after working in her aunt’s kitchen as a girl. There are several reasons why people are so fond of her. First, her food tastes exactly like the dishes our grandmothers used to make自然使用「used to」表示過去的習慣. Second, she’s completely down to earth常見的詞語搭配,位置自然: she comes out of the kitchen to greet every customer. Last year my family went there for my mother’s birthday, and she remembered my grandmother’s name, which took us all by surprise慣用說法,時態正確. There’s often a queue outside at lunchtime, and some tourists even travel from Lima just to try her soup. She also trains young people from the neighbourhood, so they can find work in kitchens. Last month a journalist from a national newspaper wrote a piece about her, so her name is now spreading beyond the city. When I eat her food, I feel connected to my family and to our history. I feel proud that she comes from my city, and I respect her because she keeps our traditions alive. It give me主詞動詞不一致:應為「It gives me」 the feeling that a small business can matter to a whole community, and I’d love to learn from her one day.

Band 8

I’d like to describe Lucia Mamani, a cook who is something of a household name in Arequipa, the city in southern Peru where I live. She runs a small traditional restaurant near my district, and every Sunday she has a short slot on the local radio, where she explains old recipes from our region. She opened it twenty years ago, having learned the trade in her aunt’s kitchen as a girl. There are several reasons why people are so fond of her. For one thing, her food tastes just like the dishes our grandmothers used to make. For another, she is so unassuming that she comes out of the kitchen to greet every customer結果子句顯示能掌控複雜句型. Last year my family went there for my mother’s birthday, and she remembered my grandmother’s name, which took us all by surprise慣用說法,用法自然. There’s often a queue outside at lunchtime, and some tourists even travel from Lima for a bowl of her soup. She also trains young people from the neighbourhood, which gives them a foot in the door of local kitchens非限定關係子句搭配慣用語. Last month a journalist from a national newspaper profiled her, and her name is now travelling well beyond the city. Every time I eat her food, I feel connected to my family and to a shared history. I feel proud that she comes from my city, and I admire her because she keeps our traditions alive. What strikes me most, I think,引出深思後看法的話語標記 is that she has shown how a small business can become part of a whole community’s identity, and I’d love to learn from her one day.

讓分數不同的關鍵

  • Band 6的「she have」、「it taste」和「my family go」,在Band 7變得正確(「she has」、「tastes」、「went」),Band 8也維持乾淨。
  • Band 6依賴「very tasty」和「a very good person」;Band 7用「completely down to earth」;Band 8把同樣的意思變成「so unassuming that she comes out of the kitchen to greet every customer」。
  • Band 7以「a small business can matter to a whole community」收尾,Band 8則在前面加上「What strikes me most, I think,」使它更鮮明,再把重點擴大到整座城市的認同。

這張題卡的常見錯誤

  • 說了這個人的名字和工作,卻沒有說明當地人為什麼喜歡他。
  • 把「famous in your local area」和全國或國際級的名人搞混,結果講到後來沒有真實的細節可說。
  • 只用「everyone knows him」或「he is very popular」當作解釋,而不是兩個具體的理由。
  • 忘了「explain」那一行,講完第三個要點就結束,沒有任何感受或意見。

常接著出現的Part 3題目

在你說完1~2分鐘之後,考官通常會進入相關的Part 3討論。以下是這個主題常見的追問類型。

  1. What kinds of people become well known in a small community?什麼樣的人會在小社區裡出名?
  2. Do you think local celebrities are as important as national ones?你認為地方名人和全國知名的名人一樣重要嗎?
  3. Why do some people enjoy being famous while others avoid attention?為什麼有些人享受出名,有些人卻想避開關注?
  4. How has social media changed the way people become known in their town?社群媒體如何改變了人們在自己城鎮裡出名的方式?
  5. Should well-known local people be expected to set a good example?地方上的知名人士應該被期待樹立好榜樣嗎?

常見問題

這個人一定要是名人嗎?

不用。「Famous in your local area」指的是在你的城鎮或地區很有名,所以廚師、教練、廣播主持人、店老闆或音樂人都可以。選一個你能詳細描述、也能用真實理由說明他為什麼受歡迎的人。

如果我從來沒見過這個人怎麼辦?

沒關係。你可以描述一個你只從新聞、電視節目或別人的說法認識的人。誠實說明你是怎麼知道他的,然後把時間花在他做什麼,以及當地人為什麼喜歡他。

可以選過去的人物嗎?

可以,只要這個人在當地仍被人談起,而且你能回答每一個要點。歷史人物比較難帶著個人感受去描述,所以在世的人通常能為「explain」那一行提供更自然的細節。
