這張題卡的準備方式
這張題卡（cue card）和「a time you helped someone」有重疊，但更具體：三個要點要的是真正傳授一項技能或一則知識，而且有清楚的方法，不只是一般的鼓勵或支持。所以請確認你的例子裡，你確實說明或示範了某件事，而不只是從旁協助。
一個小而日常的教學時刻，例如教祖父母使用手機App、教弟弟妹妹騎腳踏車、向同學解釋一門學校科目，比不尋常的例子有更多細節可用，主要是因為你會記得自己說明時用過的具體步驟。
「how you taught them」是考生最常跳過或回答得含糊的要點，所以事先規劃至少一個具體的教學方法，例如把一項任務拆成步驟、先示範再讓對方試、用比喻說明。這個細節正是有力的回答和泛泛的回答之間的差別。

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’d like to talk about the time I taught my grandmother how to make video calls on her phone so she could see my cousin’s new baby, who lives abroad and couldn’t visit for several months. She’d had a smartphone for a while by that point but genuinely never used anything beyond phone calls and text messages, and the idea of video calling seemed to intimidate her far more than I initially expected. I decided the best approach was to break the whole process down into very small steps rather than explaining everything at once, so on the first afternoon we only covered opening the app and recognising the call button, and I made her repeat that step herself several times rather than doing it for her. The following weekend we practised an actual call together, with me sitting right beside her the whole time in case something went wrong, and I remember there being a genuine lightbulb moment when she managed to answer an incoming call completely on her own and saw my cousin’s face appear on the screen. It took a bit of trial and error, since she kept accidentally pressing the wrong icon at first, but she picked up the basic routine within about three sessions. Honestly, I felt a real sense of pride watching her manage it independently a few weeks later without any help from me at all, and it also gave me a much clearer appreciation of how patient she must have been teaching me things as a child. It was a small skill in the end, but it genuinely changed how connected she felt to family living far away.
這張題卡的常見錯誤
- 選了只是在幫忙、而沒有真的說明或示範某件事的例子。
- 跳過「how you taught them」這個要點，或只用一句含糊的話回答。
- 完全聚焦在對方身上，而漏掉你自己教他們時的感受。
- 選了太專業的技能，在2分鐘內很難說清楚。
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。
- Do you think everyone has the ability to teach others well?你覺得每個人都有能力把別人教好嗎？
- Is it easier to learn from a friend or family member than from a professional teacher?向朋友或家人學習，比向專業老師學習更容易嗎？
- What skills does someone need to be a good teacher?一個人要成為好老師需要具備哪些能力？
- Do you think technology has made it easier for people to teach themselves new skills?你覺得科技讓人們自學新技能變得更容易了嗎？
常見問題
我教的東西一定要很複雜嗎？
不用，簡單的日常技能，例如使用某個App、做一道菜或騎腳踏車，和複雜的事一樣適合，只要你能清楚描述教學的過程。
我可以談教一群人，而不是一個人嗎？
可以，同時教好幾個人，例如一小群同學，也沒問題，不過回答要點時，特別聚焦在其中一個人的進步上會比較有幫助。
如果我教的人其實沒有成功學會怎麼辦？
那也是完全成立的故事，誠實地描述這次嘗試，包括哪裡行不通，仍然能涵蓋三個要點和「and explain」那一行，而且可能讓回答更真實。
