這張題卡的準備方式
這張題卡(cue card)考的是,你能不能用過去式說一個輕鬆、帶有個人色彩的故事,再說明一種感受。考官會聽你有沒有把順序說清楚、有沒有用到談食物、對話和氣氛的語言,以及是否給出比「we had fun」更深入的理由。因為這張題卡談的是平凡的快樂,所以自然的細節比重大的事件更加分。
最容易的角度是和一小群你很熟的人共度的夜晚。想一個安排的人、一個地點,以及你叫得出名字的幾道菜。說出真實的食物,會給你容易而準確的詞彙,而河邊的餐桌或屋頂這類的場景,能幫助考官在腦中描繪那個夜晚。避免列出一長串菜名:兩三道,每道配一個細節,就夠了。
用準備的這1分鐘決定,那個夜晚是在哪個時刻從「好」變成「特別」。可能是大家都記得的一個笑話、一場關於未來的長談,或只是幾週來第一次沒有人看手機。以那一刻為核心來寫「explain」那一行,回答就會聽起來誠實,而不是背好的稿子。

Band 6
I would like to describe an evening I had with my friends after our final exams last year. My friend Ploy organised it, and she choose時態錯誤:應為「chose」 a restaurant next to the river in Chiang Mai. There were six of us, and we was主詞動詞不一致:應為「were」 all very tired from studying, so everybody wanted to relax. For dinner we ate grilled fish, papaya salad and sticky rice, and the food was, er自然的停頓,填充詞不顯眼, very delicious基本詞彙,限制了Lexical Resource的分數. We drank iced tea and lime soda because nobody wanted anything strong. After the meal we talked for a long time about our school days, and we remember時態錯誤:應為「remembered」 funny things that our teachers did. We also talked about our plans for the future, like which university we will go時態錯誤:應為「would go」 to. You know當作停頓使用的填充詞, I did not look at my phone one time, and nobody else did, which is very rare基本詞彙,限制了Lexical Resource的分數 for us. Ploy also surprised us with a small cake, because one of our friends had just got a place at university, and somebody at the next table played a guitar and the whole restaurant clapped. I think the evening was so enjoyable for two reasons. First, the exams were finished, so we felt more relaxed that usual比較結構錯誤:應為「more relaxed than usual」. Second, I had not seen some of my friends for a long time, and it was good to laugh together again. We stayed until the restaurant closed, we took one photo together on the way out, and I went home happy.
Band 7
I’d like to describe an evening I had with my friends after our final exams last year. My friend Ploy organised it, and she chose a restaurant right next to the river過去式搭配精準的介系詞片語 in Chiang Mai. There were six of us, and we were all exhausted from studying, so everybody was desperate to unwind精準的說法,表示強烈的需求. For dinner we had grilled fish, papaya salad and sticky rice, and the food was absolutely mouth-watering生動、精準的形容詞. We drank iced tea and lime soda, because nobody wanted anything strong. After the meal we talked for hours about our school days, and we reminisced for介系詞錯誤:應為「reminisced about」 the funny things our teachers used to do. We also talked about our plans, such as which university we’d go to. What struck me was自然的話語標記,引出反思 that I didn’t check my phone once, and neither did anyone else, which is quite rare for us. Ploy also surprised us with a small cake, because one of our friends had just got a place at university, and somebody at the next table played a guitar and the whole restaurant clapped. I think the evening was so enjoyable for two reasons. Firstly, the exams were over, so we felt more relaxed than usual. Secondly, I hadn’t seen some of my friends since ages介系詞錯誤:應為「for ages」, and it was lovely to laugh together again. We stayed until the restaurant closed, we took one photo together on the way out, and I went home feeling really happy.
Band 8
I’d like to describe an evening I had with my friends after our final exams last year. My friend Ploy organised it and chose a restaurant right next to the river in Chiang Mai. There were six of us, and we were all exhausted from studying, so everybody was desperate to unwind. For dinner we had grilled fish, papaya salad and sticky rice, and the food was absolutely mouth-watering. We drank iced tea and lime soda, since nobody was in the mood for anything strong. After the meal we talked for hours, reminiscing about our school days and laughing at the things our teachers used to do分詞子句和「used to」結合得準確. We also talked about our plans, such as which university we’d go to. What struck me was自然的話語標記,引出反思 that I didn’t check my phone once, and neither did anyone else, which is almost unheard of for us. Ploy also surprised us with a small cake, because one of our friends had just got a place at university, and somebody at the next table played a guitar and the whole restaurant clapped. If you’d asked me beforehand, I’d have called it just another dinner正確使用第三類條件句, but it turned out to be one of the best nights of that year. There were two reasons. For one thing, the pressure of the exams had lifted, so we were more relaxed than usual. For another, I hadn’t seen some of my friends for ages, and it felt wonderful to be properly together again自然而溫暖的說法,描述重新聚在一起. We lost track of time自然的慣用語 and stayed until the restaurant closed, we took one photo together on the way out, and I went home feeling lighter than I had in months.
讓分數不同的關鍵
- Band 6的主詞動詞不一致與時態失誤(「we was all very tired」、「she choose」)在Band 7已經正確(「we were all exhausted」、「she chose」),Band 8也維持乾淨。
- Band 6依賴「very delicious」和「very rare」;Band 7改用「mouth-watering」和「desperate to unwind」;Band 8加上「almost unheard of for us」和「lost track of time」。
- Band 6以「I went home happy」收尾;Band 8則以一個呈現感受的比較收尾:「I went home feeling lighter than I had in months」。
這張題卡的常見錯誤
- 只描述食物,卻從沒說這群人聊了什麼。
- 列出一長串菜名,而不是兩三道、每道配一個細節。
- 說「we had fun」,卻沒有解釋是什麼讓這個夜晚與眾不同。
- 重述對話時,過去式和現在式來回切換。
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。
- Why is it important for adults to spend time with their friends?為什麼成年人花時間和朋友相處很重要?
- Do you think friendships become harder to keep as people get older?你認為隨著年紀變大,友誼會變得更難維持嗎?
- How has social media changed the way friends meet and keep in touch?社群媒體如何改變了朋友見面和保持聯絡的方式?
- Is it better to meet friends at home or in a public place?和朋友在家見面比較好,還是在公共場所見面比較好?
- Do people spend too much time on their phones when they are together?人們在一起的時候,是不是花太多時間在手機上?
常見問題
這個夜晚一定要是特別的場合嗎?
不用。一頓平常的晚餐、下課後的散步,或是在某人家裡看電影的夜晚,都能是很好的回答。重點是你能具體描述食物、對話和氣氛,並說出是什麼讓那一晚與其他夜晚不同。
如果我不記得我們聊了什麼怎麼辦?
說出大致的話題,例如學生時代的回憶、對未來的計畫或一個好笑的故事,再詳細描述其中一個小片段。誠實而具體的回答,比編造的長篇對話更有效,而且考官聽的是你的英文,不是在檢查內容。
三個要點都要說得一樣詳細嗎?
不一定。前兩個要點可以簡短,例如用一句話說明是誰安排的、在哪裡,再用一句話說明吃喝的東西。把大部分時間留給對話和「explain」那一行,因為那裡最能展現情感和詞彙的範圍。
