這張題卡的準備方式

這張題卡(cue card)要你分三步描述一段媒體內容,再給出個人的反應。考官會聽你能不能清楚交代影片呈現了什麼、有沒有用到觀看和學習方面的詞彙,以及能不能把感受解釋清楚,而不是只說出名稱。「I feel happy」是個開始,但「I feel proud, and a little sad」再加上理由,聽起來更成熟,也讓你有更多話可說。

最容易取材的真實角度,是一部讓你學到東西,或改變你看一個地方、一種工作或一個人的方式的影片:短紀錄片、錄下來的演講、旅遊短片,或烹飪示範。一部你能憑記憶描述的影片,比一部你只記得一半的有名影片更有話可說。想想一兩個畫面、一位發言的人,以及一個你記得的事實,因為具體的細節會讓你的回答聽起來是親身經歷,而不是編出來的。

用這1分鐘定下影片的內容、你在什麼時候和哪裡看的,以及你為什麼按下播放。最後一點很容易漏掉,但它是一個要點:朋友傳來的訊息、為了查資料而搜尋,或單純的好奇,都是自然的理由。然後把大部分時間留給最後的感受。要注意題目問的是你現在的感受,所以呈現看之前和看之後的改變,是個很好的結構。

讓回答更出色的詞彙

比起「interesting」或「nice」,這些片語更精準地描述一部影片和你對它的反應。

單字或片語 意思 例句
a short documentary 通常不到半小時的紀實影片 I watched a short documentary about fishermen on my laptop.
to come across something 偶然發現某件事物 I came across the video when my cousin sent me a link.
eye-opening 讓你學到出乎意料的事 The video was eye-opening, because I had never seen that side of life.
to be glued to the screen 全神貫注地盯著螢幕看 I was glued to the screen from the first minute.
breathtaking footage 美到令人驚嘆的畫面 The footage of the sunrise over the sea was breathtaking.
to give an insight into something 幫助你了解事物真實的樣貌 It gave me a real insight into a traditional way of life.
a way of life 一群人的習慣和風俗 It is a way of life that is slowly disappearing.
to strike a chord with someone 讓某人覺得熟悉又有意義 The story struck a chord with me because it came from my own country.
thought-provoking 讓你認真思考某個主題 I found the video quietly thought-provoking.
to leave a lasting impression 長時間被記住 The video left a lasting impression on my whole family.

1分鐘準備計畫

在1分鐘的準備時間裡,可以寫下:

  • what: twelve-minute documentary on stilt fishermen near Galle
  • when, where: last month, rainy Sunday afternoon, laptop at home in Colombo
  • why: cousin Shehan sent the link, I had only seen them on postcards
  • feel: proud and a little sad, tradition may fade; shared it with parents

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 talk about an interesting video that I see時態錯誤:應為「saw」 last month. It was a short documentary, about twelve minutes, about the stilt fishermen on the south coast of Sri Lanka, near Galle. I watched it on my laptop at home in Colombo on a rainy Sunday afternoon. My cousin Shehan send時態錯誤:應為「sent」 me the link because he knew that I was, er猶豫時使用的填充詞, always interested in our local culture. I watched it because I had seen those men on postcards and photos many times, but I never knew how they really live. In the video, a man called Sunil explains that he sits on a wooden pole in the sea for many hours and waits for small fish, and his father and grandfather do時態錯誤:應為「did」 the same. The camera also followed him when he climbed onto the pole before the sunrise and kept his balance with one hand, which looked impossible to me. The pictures of the sunrise and the water were very beautiful基本說法,限制了Lexical Resource的分數, and I watched without touching my phone. Sunil also says that less young men可數名詞用法錯誤:應為「fewer young men」 want to learn this work because it is difficult and uncertain. About my feelings, I feel proud because it is a nice tradition說法含糊,限制了Lexical Resource的分數 of my country, but I also feel a little sad because it may disappear one day. After the video I show時態錯誤:應為「showed」 it to my parents, and we talked about it all evening. You know當作停頓使用的填充詞, now I look at fishermen in a different way.

Band 7

I’d like to talk about an interesting video I watched last month. It was a short documentary, about twelve minutes long, on the stilt fishermen of the south coast of Sri Lanka, near Galle. I watched it on my laptop at home in Colombo on a rainy Sunday afternoon. My cousin Shehan had sent me the link because he knew I’m always curious about our local culture. I decided to watch it because I’d seen those men on postcards and photos many times, but I’d never understood how they actually live. In the video, a man called Sunil explains that he sits on a wooden pole in the sea for hours, waiting for small fish, and that his father and grandfather did exactly the same. The camera also followed him as he climbed onto the pole before dawn and balanced there with one hand, which looked almost impossible to me. The footage of the sunrise over the water was breathtaking精準、自然地描述畫面, and I didn’t touched詞形錯誤:應為「didn’t touch」 my phone once. Sunil also says that fewer young men want to learn this work because it’s difficult and uncertain. As for how I feel, I’m proud of it as part of our heritage, but at the same time a little sad轉折用語讓感受保持平衡, because it may disappear. Afterwards I showed it to my parents and we talked about it all evening. It has honestly changed the way I look at自然的說法,顯示看法有了改變 the fishermen in the coast介系詞錯誤:應為「on the coast」.

Band 8

I’d like to talk about an interesting video I watched last month: a short documentary, about twelve minutes long, on the stilt fishermen of the south coast of Sri Lanka, near Galle. I watched it on my laptop at home in Colombo on a rainy Sunday afternoon. My cousin Shehan had sent me the link because he knew I’m always curious about our local culture. I decided to watch it because I’d seen those men on postcards and photos many times, but I’d never understood how they actually live. In the video, a man called Sunil explains that he sits on a wooden pole in the sea for hours, waiting for small fish, and that his father and grandfather did exactly the same. The camera also followed him as he climbed onto the pole before dawn and balanced there with one hand, which looked almost impossible to me. The footage of the sunrise over the water was breathtaking, and I was glued to the screen慣用說法,表示全神貫注 from start to finish. Sunil also says that fewer young men want to learn this work because it’s difficult and uncertain. As for how I feel, I’m proud of it as part of our heritage, yet I can’t help feeling a little sad that it may disappear正確使用讓步的「yet」和「can’t help」. Afterwards I showed it to my parents and we talked about it all evening. Honestly簡短的話語標記,表示接下來是真誠的看法, it has left a lasting impression on me精準、自然的詞語搭配, and I now look at those fishermen with far more respect.

讓分數不同的關鍵

  • Band 6的時態錯誤(「video that I see」、「Shehan send me」、「his father and grandfather do the same」)在Band 7已經正確(「I watched」、「had sent」、「did exactly the same」),Band 8也維持乾淨。
  • Band 6依賴「very beautiful」和「a nice tradition」;Band 7用「The footage of the sunrise over the water was breathtaking」;Band 8再加上「was glued to the screen」和「left a lasting impression on me」。
  • Band 6以平實的陳述收尾(「now I look at fishermen in a different way」);Band 7說出看法的改變(「changed the way I look at」);Band 8則以「far more respect」作結。

這張題卡的常見錯誤

  • 把影片的每個畫面都重述一遍,而不是挑兩三個細節,並說明它們為什麼留在你心裡。
  • 說出影片和頻道的名稱,卻從來沒回答「how you feel about it」。
  • 只說「it was interesting」或「it was nice」,卻沒有一個事實、畫面或人物來說明有趣在哪裡。
  • 忘了第三個要點「why you watched it」,而它正是你這個故事的起點。

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 are short videos so popular with young people nowadays?為什麼短影片現在這麼受年輕人歡迎?
  2. Is learning from a video as effective as learning from a book?從影片學習和從書本學習一樣有效嗎?
  3. Do you think people trust what they see in online videos too easily?你認為人們太容易相信網路影片裡看到的內容嗎?
  4. How have videos changed the way people share news and local stories?影片如何改變了人們分享新聞和地方故事的方式?
  5. Should children be limited in the amount of video they watch?應該限制孩子看影片的時間嗎?

常見問題

影片一定要很長或很專業嗎?

不用。3分鐘的短片、紀錄片、錄下來的演講或家人的影片都可以。重點是你記得它呈現了什麼,能說出你為什麼選它,並能用清楚、具體的話說明你自己的感受。

可以描述社群媒體上的影片嗎?

可以。在手機或電腦上看到的影片,和電視上的影片一樣有效。說說你在哪裡看、它呈現了什麼,以及是誰傳給你的或你怎麼找到它的,然後把大部分時間花在它為什麼引起你的興趣。

如果我想不起影片或頻道的名稱怎麼辦?

兩者都不需要。描述主題、片中的人物,以及你記得最清楚的部分就好。考官聽的是你的英文和你經歷的細節,不是片名或製作者的名字。
