這張題卡的準備方式
這張題卡（cue card）檢驗你能不能講述一項成就，並交代具體的努力和步驟，而不只是說出結果。薄弱的回答是「I passed my exam and I was happy」；有力的回答則會描述背後的努力實際上是什麼樣子，這才是能讓你有說服力地講滿2分鐘的內容。
選一件前後差別清楚的事：通過一場困難的考試、達成健身目標、完成工作上的專案，或是學會以前失敗過的事。不要選太大或太模糊、讓你說不出具體步驟的成功。例如「becoming successful in life」要講2分鐘，就比「finally passing my driving test on the third attempt」困難得多。
開頭先說明這段經歷和大約的時間，中段說明促成它的具體努力或步驟，結尾說明你自己為什麼認為它是成功，因為單單一句「I felt proud」需要有理由支撐，才算真正回答了「and explain」那一行。
讓回答更出色的詞彙
這些片語比反覆說「successful」更精準地描述努力、成就和自豪。
| 單字或片語 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| pay off | 努力之後帶來好的結果 | All those extra hours of practice finally paid off. |
| a turning point | 改變事情方向的時刻 | That exam result felt like a turning point for me. |
| against the odds | 儘管情況不利 | I passed against the odds, honestly, given how little time I had. |
| put in the hours | 投入大量時間和心力 | I put in the hours every evening for about three months. |
| a sense of accomplishment | 達成某件事後的自豪感 | It gave me a real sense of accomplishment afterwards. |
| get there in the end | 歷經困難後終於成功 | It took two attempts, but I got there in the end. |
| a hard-won achievement | 要付出很多努力才得到的成功 | It was a hard-won achievement, not something that came easily. |
| exceed expectations | 比預期做得更好 | The results ended up exceeding my own expectations. |
| a stepping stone | 通往更大進展的成就 | It became a stepping stone towards a much bigger goal. |
| stick with it | 儘管困難仍然堅持 | I nearly gave up twice, but I stuck with it. |
1分鐘準備計畫
在1分鐘的準備時間裡，可以寫下：
- what: passed driving test, third attempt
- when: two years ago, final year of university
- what I did: extra lessons, practised with father, weekly for months
- why success: anxiety, previous failures, proved I could stick with something
範例回答
以下是這張題卡完整回答的一種寫法，用來示範結構和程度，不是要你照背。
I would like to talk about passing my driving test, which happened about two years ago during my final year at university, on what was actually my third attempt. I had failed twice before, both times because of nerves rather than a lack of ability, which honestly made the whole process quite demoralising. Before the third attempt, I decided to take a different approach: I booked extra lessons with an instructor who specialised in helping anxious drivers, and I also practised with my father most weekends for about three months, mainly just to get comfortable rather than to learn anything new. I put in the hours consistently rather than cramming everything into the final week, which I think made a real difference to how calm I felt on the actual day. When I finally passed, it honestly felt like more than just a driving test; it felt like a turning point, proof to myself that I could stick with something difficult instead of giving up after it went wrong the first couple of times. I consider it a genuine success not because passing a driving test is particularly impressive on its own, but because of how much anxiety and self-doubt I had to work through to get there in the end. It has made me more confident about persisting with other difficult things since.
這張題卡的常見錯誤
- 說出一項成就，卻沒有描述背後任何實際的努力或步驟。
- 選了太抽象的題材，例如「being successful」，而不是一次具體的經歷。
- 從頭到尾重複「successful」和「proud」，沒有變換描述努力與成就的詞彙。
- 沒有說出你認為它算是成功的個人理由，而這正是「and explain」那一行所要求的。
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。
- How do people in your country generally define success?在你的國家，人們一般如何定義成功？
- Is success more about effort or about natural ability?成功比較取決於努力，還是天生的能力？
- Do you think society places too much emphasis on measurable achievements?你覺得社會太過強調可衡量的成就嗎？
- Can a small, personal achievement matter as much as a public one?個人的小成就可以和公開的成就一樣重要嗎？
常見問題
這個成功一定要和學業或工作有關嗎？
不用。個人的成就同樣算數，例如完成一項艱難的體能挑戰、學會一項新技能或修復一段關係，只要你能清楚說明它為什麼對你重要。
如果我的成就和其他考生的回答比起來顯得很小怎麼辦？
考官不在意規模。把一個小成功描述得具體而完整，聽起來更真實，得分也比泛泛而談某件所謂了不起的事來得高。
我應該提到幫助我成功的其他人嗎？
如果這確實是故事的一部分，可以簡短提到，但要把重點放在你自己的努力和角色上，因為題卡的要點問的是「你」做了什麼來達成它。
