歡迎來到Oxford Online English!

In this lesson, you can learn how to do parts three and four of the Cambridge B1 Preliminary

在本節課，您可以學會怎樣做劍橋B1精通基礎英文認證

speaking exam.

口說測驗的第三、四部份。

Before we start, one question: do you find it difficult to understand spoken English?

在我們開始之前，有一個問題：您認為在理解 英文口說上有困難嗎？

Yes?

是嗎？

Help yourself and turn on the subtitles now.

您現在可以自己打開字幕。

All our videos have English subtitles; click the CC button in the bottom right of your

我們所有的影片都有字幕；點擊 您的影片播放軟體底部右側

如果您在智慧手機上看， 用熒幕頂端的設定圖示。

In part three of the B1 preliminary speaking test you talk to your partner, not to the

在B1口說測驗的第三部份， 您要和您的夥伴談，而不是和

examiner.

考官談。

It lasts two to three minutes.

這會持續2-3分鐘。

At the beginning, the examiner will say: “Now, in this part of the test you’re going to

在開始，考官會說：“現在， 在測試的這一部分，你們要一起

talk about something together for about two minutes.

談論事情約2分鐘。

I’m going to describe a situation to you.”

我給你們描述一下情況。”

Then, the examiner will give you a booklet with the task.

然後，考官會給你們一個寫有任務的小冊子。

You’ll see several pictures.

你們會看到幾張圖片。

It might look something like this.

那可能看上去像這個。

Then, you’ll hear the instructions.

然後，你們會聽到指示。

For example: “A family wants to go on a trip this weekend.

例如：“一個家庭想在本週末去旅遊。

Talk together about the different places the family could visit and decide which trip the

在一起談論全家人都可以去的不同地方，並決定去哪裡旅遊

family would most enjoy.

全家人會最享受。

All right?

好嗎?

Now, talk together.”

現在，一起來談談吧。”

Listen to the examiner carefully, because the instructions won’t be written on the

細心地聽考官說，因為 任務裡面沒有

task.

寫指示。

If anything is not clear, ask the examiner to repeat the instructions.

如果聽不清楚任何事情，請考官 重複說一遍指示。

First point: remember that the situation is about other people, not about you.

要點一：記住情況是有關其他人的， 不是有關您的。

This task is not asking you to describe where *you* want to visit this weekend.

這個任務不是請您去描述 *您*在週末想去的地方。

It is asking you to talk about where the *family in the picture* should visit.

而是請您去談論 *圖片裡面的家庭*會去旅行的地方。

Don’t say ‘I think the castle is a good idea because I love history.’

不能說“我認為去城堡是一個好主意， 因為我喜歡歷史。”

This trip is not for you.

這次旅行不是為了您。

You are only recommending ideas for the family.

您僅是為整個家庭出謀劃策。

Instead, say ‘I think the castle is a good idea because it would be educational for the

要用這來取代，說“我認為去城堡是一個好主意， 因為會對全家人

family.’

有教育意義。”

Now let’s look at another situation.

現在，我們看下另一種情況。

Pause the video if you want more time to read and think.

如果您要更多的時間來閱讀及考慮，暫停影片。

Remember also that the instructions will not be written on the task in your real B1 speaking

也要記住指示不會寫在真正的劍橋B1精通基礎英文認證

exam!

口說測驗的任務裡！

Let’s look at how to begin.

我們看下怎樣開始。

Do you know how you should start?

您知道您要怎麼開始嗎？

A good way to start is to ask your partner a question.

起頭的一個好辦法是問您的夥伴一個問題。

For example, for this task, you could ask ‘Which present do you think is the best?’

例如，就這個任務，您可以問： 目前，您覺得哪一個是最好的？“

Or, ‘What do you think about getting him a camera?’

或是，”給他一台照相機，您覺得怎樣？

Let’s look at another task.

我們看下另一個任務。

Imagine you’re in the B1 speaking test.

想像一下您正在B1口說測驗中。

This is your task.

這是您的任務。

Can you think of a question you could ask your partner to start?

您可以想出一個開頭的問題來問您的夥伴嗎？

Pause the video and try to make one or two questions you could use to start this task.

暫停影片，並試著想出您可以在開頭問的一個或兩個問題。

Do it now!

開始吧!

Could you do it?

您可以做嗎？

Of course, there are many possibilities!

當然，有很多可能性！

You could ask ‘What do you think about bringing a camera?’

您可以問“您覺得帶一部照相機怎樣？

Or ‘Do you think they should bring a guidebook?’

或是”您想他們肯定會帶一本旅遊指南嗎？“

Asking a question is a good way to start.

問一個問題是一個開頭的好方法。

What next?

下一個是什麼？

The conversation should be fifty per cent you speaking and fifty per cent your partner

口說必須是您說50%，您的夥伴

speaking.

說50%。

You don’t get extra points for speaking more.

您不會因為說得多而得分多。

Give your opinion about something, and then ask your partner a question.

提出您對某事的觀點， 然後問您的夥伴一個問題。

Your opinions on each idea should not be very long – one or two sentences maximum – then

您的觀點不能太長， – 最多一句或兩句 – 然後

ask another question.

問另一個問題。

Ask your partner to respond to your ideas.

請您的夥伴回應您的想法。

Let’s go back to our first example.

我們回到例一。

Remember: one or two sentences, then ask a question.

記住：一句或兩句，然後問一個問題。

For example: ‘I think going to the beach is a good idea if the weather is nice because

例如：“我認為如果天氣好，去海灘是一個好主意，

the children could play in the sea.

因為孩子們可以在海裡玩。

What do you think about the family going to the beach?’

您覺得全家人去海灘怎樣？”

Let’s move on to our next point: linking your ideas when you speak.

我們看下個要點： 當您說話時，要與您的主意連接。

In part three of the B1 speaking exam, you need to link your ideas with comparisons and

在B1口說測驗的第三部份， 您要把您的想法通過比較和

contrasts.

對比關聯起來。

Look at our second task again.

再看下我們的任務二。

Imagine you’re in the exam.

想像您在考試中。

Your partner says ‘I think the mobile phone is a good idea because our classmate could

您的夥伴說：“我覺得手機是一個好主意， 因為我們的同學可以

keep in contact with us.

用手機和我們保持聯絡。

What do you think about the camera?’

您覺得照相機怎樣？“

And then you reply ‘I don’t think the camera is a good idea because cameras are

接著，您回復：”我不認為照相機是 一個好主意，因為照相機

old-fashioned.

是過時的。

What do you think about the book?’

您認為書籍怎樣？“

These are good answers and ideas, but as a conversation, it sounds unnatural.

有好的回答和主意，但是作為一個 對話，這看上去不自然。

There’s no connection between one answer and the other.

在一個回答和另一個之間沒關聯。

Here’s a better example.

這有更好的例子。

Your partner says ‘I think the mobile phone is a good idea because our classmate could

您的夥伴說：“我覺得手機是一個好主意， 因為我們的同學可以

keep in contact with us.

用手機和我們保持聯絡。

What do you think about the camera?’

您覺得照相機怎樣？”

You reply ‘I don’t think the camera is a good idea, because today all mobile phones

您回復：”我不覺得照相機是 一個好主意，因為現在所有的手機

have cameras.

都可以照相。

What do you think about the book?’

您覺得書籍怎樣？

This sounds better, right?

聽起來更好一點，對嗎？

Comparing and linking your ideas helps you to sound more like you’re having a normal

比較和連接您的主意可以幫您 聽起來更像一個

discussion.

正常的討論。

Our next point: you need to react to your partner’s ideas and suggestions.

我們的下一個要點：您必須回應您夥伴的主意和建議。

How can you do that?

您要怎樣做？

When your partner speaks, you need to listen actively.

當您的夥伴說時，您要積極地聽。

Don’t just sit there like a robot.

不要坐在那像個機器人。

React, nod your head, or say something to show how you feel.

回應、點下頭， 或說些什麼展現出您覺得怎樣。

If you agree with what your partner says, you could say something like: ‘I agree’,

如果您讚同您的夥伴說的， 您可以說些類似這樣的話：“我同意”。

‘good idea’, ‘that’s interesting’, ‘you’re right’, ‘that’s true’

“好主意”，“那很有趣”， “沒錯”，“那是真的”

or ‘I think so too’.

或是“我也這樣想”。

If you disagree with your partner, remember to be polite.

如果您不同意您的夥伴說的， 記住要有禮貌。

You could say ‘really?’

您可以說：“是嗎？”

‘I’m not sure about that’, ‘I don’t think I agree’, ‘I don’t think so’

“我不確定那個耶”，“我不覺得 我會同意”，“我不這樣想”

or ‘good idea, but I prefer…’

或是“好主意，但是我偏愛…”

Also, when you disagree with your partner, give a reason, or an alternative suggestion.

同樣，當您不同意您的夥伴， 給一個理由，或一個替代建議。

For example: if your partner says, ‘I think the book is a good idea because books are

例如：如果您的夥伴說，“我覺得書籍是一個好主意， 因為書籍

not that expensive’, and you disagree, you could reply ‘I don’t think I agree.

不是那麼貴”，您不同意，您可以 回復“我不覺得我會同意。

I understand that a book would be a cheap present, but we want to get our classmate

我明白書籍肯定是一個便宜的禮物， 但我們想給我們的同學

something special to remember us, like the watch.’

某些特別的可以記得我們的東西， 比如手錶。”

When you’ve finished discussing your options, you should make a decision together.

當你們結束討論時， 你們要一起做一個決定。

At the end, ask your partner something like ‘what have we decided?’ or ‘shall we

在最後，問您的夥伴一些類似 ”我們怎麼決定？“或是”我們要

choose one?’

選一個嗎？“的問題

Remember: you don’t have to be honest.

記住：您不必說實話。

If your partner thinks that one idea is better, you can agree just to finish the conversation.

如果您的夥伴覺得一個主意是更好的， 您可以同意就結束對話。

It doesn’t matter if you really agree or not.

您真的同意或不同意，並不重要。

If your partner is unsure, try to lead the decision.

如果您的夥伴不確定， 您試著要引導向一個決定。

Look at our first task.

看下我們的任務一。

You could say, ‘I think the family should go to the beach, because we agreed it has

您可以說：”我覺得全家人要去海灘， 因為我們同意那有

a lot of activities for all of the family.’

合適全家所有人的大量活動。“

This shows that you have control over the conversation.

這顯示出您掌控了整個對話。

What about our second task?

那任務二呢？

You could say, ‘I think we can agree that the mobile phone is the best idea because

您可以說：”我覺得我們可以同意 手機是最好的主意，因為

our classmate can keep in contact with us.’

我們的同學可以和我們保持聯絡。“

Again, you’re controlling the discussion, but also involving your partner.

再次，您掌控了討論， 但是也提及到您的夥伴了。

Doing these things can help your score.

做這些可以幫您得分。

Make sure you leave enough time to reach a final decision together, but you also need

確保您有足夠的時間來 一起做最終的決定，但是您也要

to talk for the full two to three minutes.

談滿2-3分鐘。

If you stop too early, the examiner will not say anything, and you will be sitting in uncomfortable

如果您太早停下來，考官不會說什麼， 您坐在那也會感覺到

silence.

不舒適的安靜。

When preparing for the B1 speaking exam, try to get a feeling for how long you need to

準備B1口說測驗時， 試著估算下

speak.

您要說多久。

Don’t answer the question too quickly.

不要回答問題太快。

After around two and a half minutes, start trying to reach a final decision.

在2分鐘到2分半鐘左右， 要開始試著去達成最終的決定。

Now, you should understand how to do part three of the B1 Preliminary speaking exam.

現在，您肯定明白怎樣做 B1口說測驗的第三部份了。

What about part four?

那第四部份呢？

In part four, the examiner will ask you questions, and you’ll discuss the questions with your

在第四部份，考官會問你們問題， 您要和您的夥伴

partner.

討論問題。

This means you need to speak to both the examiner and your partner in part four.

這就是說在第四部份，您要對著考官和您的夥伴說。

The questions will be on a similar topic to part three.

這些問題會與第三部份的主題類似。

Part four lasts around three minutes.

第四部份持續約三分鐘。

For example, if the topic in part three was connected to travel, you might hear questions

like: ‘Do you prefer to travel with friends or alone?’

：“您喜歡和朋友們一起旅行或是獨自旅行？”

‘What can people learn from travelling to different countries?’

Think: how could you answer these questions?

考慮一下：您可以怎樣回答這些問題？

Here’s a sample answer for the first question: ‘I prefer to travel with friends.

It’s more interesting.’

旅程會更有趣。”

What do you think?

您覺得可以嗎？

Good answer?

好的回答嗎？

It’s not terrible, but it could be better.

這不是很恐怖，但是可以回答得更好。

This answer is just two short sentences, and it doesn’t have many ideas.

這個回答才兩個短句， 沒有很多想法。

First, try to join your ideas together using words like ‘but’, ‘although’ or ‘because’.

首先，試著用一些字彙，像是“但是”、“儘管” 或是“因為”加入到您的想法裡。

For example: ‘I prefer to travel with friends, because it’s more interesting.’

例如：“我喜歡和朋友們一起旅行， 因為旅程會更有趣。”

Next, try to use more specific vocabulary.

接下來，試著用更多的特定字彙。

‘Interesting’ is very general.

“有趣”是很一般的。

For example: ‘I prefer to travel with friends, because it’s more sociable.’

例如：“我喜歡和朋友們一起旅行， 因為可以社交。”

Then, try to add more ideas to your answer, like this: ‘I prefer to travel with friends,

because it’s more sociable, plus you always have people to talk to and hang out with.’

因為可以社交，此外您總有人 一起聊天以及去閒逛。“

Remember these three points: join your ideas together, use specific vocabulary, and add

記住有三個要點：加入您的想法、 用特定的字彙、

ideas to your answer.

回答裡添加想法。

In this way, you can make your answers stronger!

用這種方法，您的回答會更棒！

Like in part three, you should ask your partner for their opinions.

The examiner will ask questions in part four.

考官會在第四部份問問題。

However, you should also talk to your partner.

然而，您也必須和您的夥伴一起談。

So, at the end of your answer, you can ask your partner a question like ‘How about

you?’ or ‘Do you agree?’

怎麼想？”或是“您同意嗎？”

Also, react to what your partner says.

同樣，回應您的夥伴所說的。

For example, imagine your partner says ‘People can learn a lot from travelling to different

例如，想像您的夥伴說：“人們 可以從到不同的國家旅行

countries.

學到很多東西。

For example, they can see how things like culture, food and architecture are different

例如，他們可以看世界各地的東西 像是文化、食物和建築

around the world.’

怎樣不同。”

Travelling is a great experience, but I think you can learn about other countries’ culture,

旅行是一個很棒的經歷， 但我覺得即使您不去那，您也能了解其他國家的文化、

food and so on even if you don’t go there.’

食物及諸如此類的東西。”

Let’s try another one.

我們試下另外一個。

Imagine that your partner says: ‘When I’m on holiday, I just like lying on the beach

想像一下您的夥伴說：“當我在度假時， 我只想躺在海灘上，

and doing nothing all day.’

整天什麼事都不做。”

How could you respond to this?

您怎麼回應？

Try to make two or three sentences.

試下造兩個或三個句子。

Say if you have the same opinion, or not, and add your own ideas.

說是否您有相同的觀點，或是沒有， 並增加您的想法。

Pause the video and say your response aloud.

暫停影片並大聲地說出您的回應。

Could you do it?

您可以嗎？

There are many possible answers.

有很多可能的回答。

Let’s look at two.

我們看看兩個。

You could say ‘I’m the same way.

我的工作超忙，所以度假時， 我只想放鬆和忘記

the stress of daily life.’

I love active holidays, so I enjoy things like hiking, rafting, cycling, and so on.

If I stayed on the beach all day, I’d get really bored.’

如果我整天都待在海灘， 我真的會覺得很煩。“

In general, in part four, try to add reasons, details and examples to your answers.

一般來說，在第四部份，試著在您的回答裡 添加理由、細節和例子。

This will let you use a wider range of grammar and vocabulary, which improves your score!

這樣，您會用到更廣範圍的、可以提高得分的語法和字彙！

Let’s put these ideas together.

我們把這些想法集中起來。

For each question the examiner asks, you should do one of two things.

對於考官問的每一個問題， 您必須做兩件事中的一件。

First, you can give your answer, then ask your partner for their opinion.

首先，您可以給出您的回答，之後問 您的夥伴他們的觀點。

You can also continue the discussion by reacting to what your partner says.

您也可以用回應您的夥伴所說的 方式來繼續討論。

Or, you can let your partner speak, and then react to what they say.

或是，您可以請夥伴先說， 然後回應他們說的。

A good idea would be to take turns, so that you answer one question first, and then your

一個好主意必須輪著用， 這樣您先回答一個問題，然後

partner speaks first for the next question.

您的夥伴在下一個問題就要先說。

It’s better in part four if you and your partner can control the discussion, rather

如果在第四部份，您和您的夥伴 可以控制討論，而不是等著考官來說，

than waiting for the examiner to speak.

這最好。

The examiner might stop you if you speak for too long or go off-topic, but that’s not

如果您說太久了或離題了， 考官可能會請您停下來，

a problem.

但那不是一個問題。

That’s it.

就這樣！

Good luck if you have a B1 Preliminary speaking exam soon!

如果您很快就有一個B1精通基礎英文認證口說測驗， 祝您好運！
