這張題卡的準備方式

這張題卡(cue card)考的是,你能不能用幾個清楚的句子描述一個人的成就,再對他提出有理由的看法。考官會聽你有沒有準確使用現在完成式(「has won」、「has trained」)、有沒有用到表達欣賞和努力的語言,以及是否給出比「she is very good」更具體的理由。

最保險的選擇是你很熟悉其故事的運動員。可以是世界知名的人物,但那樣你說出的每一項事實都必須是你確定的,所以要保持籠統,避免確切的比分、紀錄和日期。本國或在地的運動員往往更容易:你可以說明自己是怎麼認識他的,例如學校的一場講座、當地的轉播,或是在同一個俱樂部訓練的朋友,而且細節會顯得真實,因為它們本來就是真的。

用這1分鐘為每個要點各寫一個字,再為「explain」那一行寫一個理由。把時間花在得分的地方:用現在完成式和過去式說出成就,以及用一個小例子說明你欣賞這個人的理由,例如他在受傷後如何重返賽場。一個樸實而真實的例子,勝過一長串的頭銜。

讓回答更出色的詞彙

這些片語比「very good」和「strong」更精準地描述運動上的努力與品格。

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 a sports person I admire, a woman called Tran Mai. She is a long-distance runner from my city, Da Nang, and she is not famous in the whole world, but many people here know her. She win動詞形式錯誤:應為「has won」 the regional championship several times, and she also go時態錯誤:應為「went」 abroad to run for our country. I first heard about her when I was fifteen, because she came to my school to give a talk. She told us that she trains at five in the morning before her work as a teacher, and everybody in the hall was surprised. After that I, er自然的停頓,填充詞不顯眼, saw her on the local news and I follow時態錯誤:應為「followed」 her videos online. The most important thing for me is what happened after her knee injury. She could not run for many months and she was almost ready to stop, but she didn’t gave up助動詞錯誤:應為「didn’t give up」. She did slow exercises in the pool, and in the end she came back and won again基本詞彙,限制了Lexical Resource的分數. In the last race I watched on television she finished first, and I shouted so loud that my mother came to my room. I admire her because she is very hard-working基本詞彙,限制了Lexical Resource的分數, and she have主詞動詞不一致:應為「has」 a good heart too. You know當作停頓使用的填充詞, now she helps children in a small club at weekends, and she is always smiling. She never complains when she loses, and she always congratulates the winner. I think she shows young people that failure is not the end, and I want to be like her when I have difficulties in my life.

Band 7

I’d like to describe a sports person I admire, a woman called Tran Mai. She’s a long-distance runner from my city, Da Nang, and although she isn’t famous worldwide, many people here know her. She’s won the regional championship several times, and she’s also gone abroad to run for our country. I first heard about her when I was fifteen, because she visited my school to give a talk. She told us that she trains at five in the morning before her work as a teacher, and everybody in the hall was surprised. After that I saw her on the local news and followed her videos online追蹤運動員動態的自然詞語搭配. What I admire most is how she handled her knee injury. She couldn’t run for many months and she was close to giving up altogether介系詞後面的動名詞用法準確, but she did slow exercises in the pool and eventually came back stronger than before自然的比較說法. In the last race I watched on television she finished first, and I shouted so loudly that my mother came into my room. I admire her because she’s so dedicated精準的形容詞 and, what’s more自然地補上一個論點的連接用語, she’s kind person漏掉冠詞:應為「a kind person」. These days she helps children at a local club at weekends, and she’s always smiling. She never complains when she loses, and she always congratulates the winner. I think she shows young people that failing at something isn’t the end of the road以動名詞當主詞,搭配自然的慣用語, and I’d like to be like her when I face difficulties.

Band 8

I’d like to describe a sports person I admire, a woman called Tran Mai. She’s a long-distance runner from my city, Da Nang, and although she isn’t a household name abroad, she’s very well known here. She’s won the regional championship several times and has also gone overseas to run for our country. I first heard about her when I was fifteen, because she came to my school to give a talk, where she told us that she trains at five every morning before her work as a teacher. I’ve kept up with her career自然使用的慣用片語動詞 through the local news and her online videos ever since. What I admire most is how she handled her knee injury. She couldn’t run for months and was close to giving up altogether介系詞後面準確使用動名詞, yet she switched to slow exercises in the pool and eventually came back stronger than ever自然、道地的說法. I admire her not only for the results but for her quiet dedication精準的詞語搭配 and her generosity: these days she gives up her weekends to coach children at a local club用現在式表達習慣,詞序自然, always smiling. She never complains when she loses, and she always congratulates the winner. In the last race I watched on television she finished first, and I shouted so loudly that my mother came into my room. In my view she shows young people that setbacks are a part of the process rather than the end of it, and when I face difficulties of my own, I try to remember her.

讓分數不同的關鍵

  • Band 6的動詞失誤(「She win」、「she also go abroad」)到了Band 7已經正確(「She’s won」),Band 8也維持乾淨(「has also gone overseas」)。
  • Band 6依賴「won again」和「very hard-working」;Band 7用「stronger than before」和「so dedicated」;Band 8加上「came back stronger than ever」和「quiet dedication」。
  • Band 6以一個籠統的心願結尾(「I want to be like her」);Band 8則以一個個人習慣收尾:「when I face difficulties of my own, I try to remember her」。

這張題卡的常見錯誤

  • 只列出頭銜和紀錄,卻沒有說明這個人為什麼讓你印象深刻。
  • 說出關於真實運動員、但你不確定是否正確的確切比分、日期或紀錄。
  • 對已經完成的成就使用現在式,而不是現在完成式或過去式。
  • 只描述那項運動,卻從沒說你是怎麼認識這個人的。

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. Why do some countries produce more successful athletes than others?為什麼有些國家比其他國家培養出更多成功的運動員?
  2. Should top athletes be expected to behave as role models for young people?頂尖運動員應該被期待成為年輕人的榜樣嗎?
  3. How does a sporting success affect the pride of a town or a whole country?運動上的成功如何影響一座城鎮甚至整個國家的榮譽感?
  4. What can ordinary people learn from the way athletes train?一般人可以從運動員的訓練方式學到什麼?
  5. Should school sport focus on winning or on taking part?學校的體育活動應該著重在贏得比賽,還是重在參與?

常見問題

一定要選有名的國際運動員嗎?

不用。當地的跑者、學校的冠軍,或國內聯賽的球員一樣可以,而且你很可能知道更多真實的細節。考官聽的是你的英文,不是在檢查運動員的生涯,所以選你描述起來最自然的人。

如果我不確定真實運動員生涯的事實怎麼辦?

把說法保持在籠統而安全的範圍,例如這個人贏得過重要比賽,或是在受傷後重新回到賽場。避免說出你無法查證的確切比分、紀錄和日期。如果沒有把握,就選一位你很熟悉其故事的在地運動員。

我可以因為一個人的品格而不是成績而欣賞他嗎?

可以,而且這通常會是更有力的回答。成績很容易列出來,但解釋一個人的自律、態度或善良為什麼讓你印象深刻,能讓你在最後一部分有更多可說,也有更多機會展現詞彙的範圍。
