Now, let’s see what happens in part one of the Cambridge B1 Preliminary speaking exam.

In part one of the B1 speaking exam, the examiner will ask you and your partner some basic questions.

在B1口說測驗的第一部分，考官會問您 和您的夥伴一些基礎的問題。

You talk to the examiner.

您要對考官說。

You don’t talk to your partner in part one.

At the beginning of your speaking test, the examiner will say: “Good morning.

在您的口說測驗的開始， 考官會說：“早安。

Can I have your mark sheets, please?”

For example, instead of saying “I’m an accountant,” say “I’m an accountant.

Look at these two examples.

看下這兩個事例。

Do you notice anything?

您留意到什麼了？

They both use two different verb tenses.

這兩個用了兩個不同的動詞時態。

The first example uses the present perfect.

第一個事例用了現在完成式。

The second example uses a future form, with ‘will’.

第二個事例用了一個未來式形式，用”will“。

You should try to do this, too!

你必須試著也如此做！

Say something about how long you’ve been doing your job, or your course, or say something

說些有關您做您的工作多久了， 或您的課程，或說些

about the future.

有關未來的事情。

What about you?

您怎樣?

How could you answer this question?

您會怎樣回答這個問題?

Try to make an answer now.

現在試著做一個回答。

Make one or two sentences, add details, and use more than one verb tense.

造一個或兩個句子，添加細節， 用一個以上的動詞時態。

Pause the video and say your answer out loud now.

現在，暫停影片且大聲地說出您的回答。

Could you do it?

您可以做嗎?

If you need more practice, pause again and repeat your answer several times, or try different

如果您要更多的練習，再次暫停，重複 您的回答幾次，或是試試不同的

answers.

回答。

Next, the examiner will ask you and your partner one or more questions.

接下來，考官會問您和您的夥伴一個或更多的問題。

These questions could be about different simple topics, like your hometown, your family, your

這些問題可能有關不同的簡單主題， 例如您的家鄉、您的家庭、

home, your free time, your future plans, and so on.

您的家、您的業餘時間、 您未來的計劃，類似這樣的。

Look at some examples.

看一些事例。

When you answer these questions, think about the same points you saw before: add details

當您回答這些問題時，考慮 您之前看到的那些要點：在您的回答裡

to your answer, and try to use a range of language.

添加細節，試著用多種說法。

One point: what if you don’t understand the question the examiner asks?

要點一:如果您不理解考官的問題，怎麼辦？

Just ask the examiner to repeat the question.

就要求考官複述問題。

You can say ‘I’m sorry, could you repeat that, please?’

您可以說“我很抱歉，您能複述那個嗎“

Or, ‘Can you say that again, please?’

或是“您能再說一次嗎？”

Don’t worry about having to ask this.

不要擔心問這些。

It’s normal, and it won’t affect your score.

這是正常的，它不影響您的得分。

Let’s look at our example questions again.

我們再看看問題事例。

Could you answer these?

您可以回答這些嗎？

Pause the video and try it now.

暫停影片，現在試一下。

How did you do?

您是怎樣做的?

Now, let’s look together at some more ways to improve your answers and your score.

現在，我們一起看會讓您的回答更好並 提高得分的更多方式。

First, like you heard before, try to use different verb tenses if possible.

首先，如您之前聽到的，如果可以， 試著用不同的動詞時態。

Look at a sample answer for the first question.

看問題一的回答例子。

This is not bad, but you can always improve your answers!

這不差，但您總是可以回答得更好！

For example ‘On Saturday, I played tennis with a friend, and then on Sunday I had lunch

例如“在週六，我和一個朋友 打網球，在週日

with my family, which we do every week.’

和我的家人一起午餐，我們每週都這樣。”

You’re just adding a few words, but it all helps to add detail to your answer, and it

您只添加極少的單詞，但是這些會幫您 在回答裡增加細節，

helps your score, too.

也幫您得分。

Next, try to use a range of adjectives in your answer.

接下來，試下在您的回答裡用 多種形容詞。

Look at a sample answer for the second question.

看下問題二的回答例子。

Again, this answer is quite good!

再一次，這個回答很好！

But, again, it could be better.

但是，同樣，它能夠更好。

Adjectives like ‘interesting’, ‘nice’ and ‘good’ are OK, but they’re general.

形容詞像是 “interesting”、“nice” 和“good”都可以，但是他們是一般的。

Try to use more specific adjectives and phrases.

試下用更多的特定形容詞和短語。

For example ‘I live in Thessaloniki.

例如，“我住在德薩羅尼基。

My town is a great place to live because it has many excellent restaurants and some fascinating

我住的鎮是一個宜居的、很棒的地方， 因為那有很多不錯的餐館和一些

museums.’

引人入勝的博物館。“

You can see here that you’re not just changing the adjectives, you’re also adding words

您能看到您不僅換了形容詞， 您也添加了單詞

to make the answer more descriptive.

這樣回答更具描述性。

You don’t just say ‘My town is nice’, you say ‘My town is a great place to live’.

您不要只說“我住的鎮很美”， 您說“我住的鎮是一個宜居的、很棒的地方”。

You don’t just say ‘good restaurants’, you say ‘many excellent restaurants.'

您不要只說“好餐館”， 您說“很多不錯的餐館。”

OK, adding one word, like ‘many’, doesn’t make a big difference.

好了，增加一個單詞，像是“many”，沒有製造出大的區別。

But, it does make a small difference, and if you do this all the way through your B1

但是，它顯示了一個小的區別，如果 您在B1口說測驗中都用

speaking exam, it will count.

這種方式，這會得分。

Now, let’s look at a sample answer for our third question.

現在，我們看看問題三的回答例子。

What do you think?

您認為怎樣?

Good answer?

好的回答嗎?

Again, it’s not bad, but it’s short; answers like this don’t give you a chance to use

一樣，它不糟糕，但是太短了；像這樣的回答 沒有給您機會去展現

your English and show the examiners what you can do.

您的英文能力，並告訴考官您可以做什麼。

Sometimes, students ask “What do I do if I don’t know what to say?”

有時，學生們問“如果我不知道要說什麼，我要怎麼辦？”

Firstly, you can make something up.

首先，您可以用什麼去裝點一下。

Your answer doesn’t need to be true.

您的回答不必是真實的。

You can say ‘I think I’ll live in New York in the future.

您可以說”我想我今後會住在紐約。

After I finish university, I want to move to Manhattan and work in the advertising industry.’

大學畢業後，我想搬到曼哈頓， 到一家廣告公司工作。“

It doesn’t need to be true.

这不需要是真实的。

You can make up something interesting!

您可以用一些有趣的事情裝點一下。

Secondly, even if you don’t know what to say, you can still give some ideas.

其次，甚至如果您不知道要說什麼， 您仍然可以提出一些想法。

For example ‘I don’t know where I’ll live in the future.

例如，”我不知道今後我會住在哪。

I guess after I graduate, I’ll probably stay here for a couple of years.

我猜我畢業後，我也許會 待在這幾年。

After that, I wouldn’t mind moving to another city, or even another country if I can find

之後，我會想搬到另一個城市， 或是另一個國家，如果我可以在那

a good job there.’

找到一份好工作的話。“

In this way, you can turn a basic answer into a full, interesting one, even if you’re

用這種方式，您可以把一個基本的回答變成一個 全面的、有趣的回答，甚至如果

basically still saying ‘I don’t know’.

您基本上還在說”我不知道“。

Now, let’s look at how to do part two of the B1 preliminary speaking test.

現在，我們看看怎樣做 B1精通基礎英文口說測驗的第二部分。

In part two of the Cambridge B1 speaking exam, the examiner will show you a photo.

在劍橋B1口說測驗的第二部分， 考官會給您看一張照片。

在第二部分的開始，考官會說： “現在，我想你們每一位

on your own about something.

來自己談一些事情。

I’m going to give each of you a photograph and I’d like you to talk about it.”

我給你們每位一張圖片， 我希望你們去談這張圖片。“

In part two, you speak on your own.

在第二部分，您自己說。

When your partner speaks, you just listen, or just relax for a minute.

當您的夥伴說時，您就聽， 或是就放鬆一分鐘。

There’s no connection between the two photos.

兩張照片之間沒有關聯。

The examiner will give you an idea about the topic of the photo.

For example, the examiner might say: “Here is your photograph.

You don’t have any thinking time.

您沒有任何考慮的時間。

You should try to start talking as fast as you can.

您必須試著盡可能快地開始談。

So, how do you start?

所以，您怎麼開始？

First, give a general description of what you see in the photo and what is happening.

首先，就您在照片裡看到什麼 以及正在發生什麼事情作一個一般的描述。

Let’s look at a photo.

我們來看一張照片。

A common mistake which students make is focusing too much on detail from the start.

學生們常犯的一個錯誤是 從一開始就著眼太多在細節上。

For example, someone might say ‘In this photo, there is some kind of computer or machine

例如，有人也許會說“在這張照片裡， 有某種電腦或機器

on the left.’

在左邊。”

That’s not wrong, but it’s not the best way to start.

這沒錯，但是那並非開始的最好方式。

Start with a *general* description.

開始要用一個*一般的*描述。

For example ‘In the photo, I can see a young man who seems to be at the airport.’

例如，”在照片裡，我看到一個年輕的 男士，他看上去像是在機場。“

After your general introduction, you need to describe the photo in more detail.

在您的一般介紹後，您要 用更多的細節描述照片。

When you describe the photo in detail, imagine the examiner cannot see the photo.

在您描述照片細節時，想像 考官不可以看到照片。

Don’t use your finger and point to things in the photo; use your words to describe what

不要用手指去指著照片裡的某種東西； 用您的話去描述

you see.

您看到了什麼。

How can you do this?

您可以怎麼做這個？

You need to use prepositions of place to say what things are in the photo, and where they

您要用方位介詞來說 在照片裡的是什麼東西，

are.

以及他們在哪。

Look at another photo.

看下另外一張照片。

Here’s a challenge for you.

這對您來說會是一種挑戰。

Can you use the preposition phrases you saw before, and make at least three sentences

您可以使用您之前看過的介詞短語， 造至少三個關於

about this photo?

這張照片的句子。

Pause the video and do it now.

暫停影片，現在做。

Could you do it?

您可以做嗎？

There are many possible answers, but here are three examples: ‘In the bottom right,

有很多可能的回答，但是 這有三個例句：“在底部右側，

there are some vegetables: broccoli, pepper and cauliflower.’

有一些蔬菜：西蘭花、胡椒和花椰菜。”

‘On the left, there’s a man with his hand over his mouth.’

“在左側，有一個男人用他的手捂住了他的嘴。”

‘At the bottom, there are two bowls, one with carrots inside, and the other with courgettes.’

“在底部，有兩個碗，一個裝有紅蘿蔔， 另一個裝有葫蘆瓜。”

You can also use the phrases ‘at the front’, ‘at the back’ or ‘next to’ to talk

您也可以用短語“在前面”、 “在後面”或“緊靠著”

about where things are.

來談論東西在哪。

For example ‘At the back, there’s a shelf with some containers.’

例如，“在背後，有一個放了一些器皿的板架。”

‘The woman is sitting next to the man and holding a notepad.’

How can I talk for a full minute?”

我怎麼可以談一分鐘？”

It’s not difficult.

這不難。

Here’s why.

理由在這。

The photos almost always contain people.

照片裡總是有些人。

That means you can describe the people, say what they look like, what they’re wearing,

這意味著您可以描述人， 說他們看上去像什麼，他們穿什麼，

and what they’re doing.

以及他們在做什麼。

This should give you lots of things to talk about.

這會給您大量的事情去談論。
