IELTS Speaking Workshop: Combining Advanced Techniques and General Knowledge This workshop is provided at no charge. I am Erickson, born in Pingtung county. I am now in my early thirties, and enthusiastic about giving support to those in need. 题目：Is your family important to you? 范例：In my case, no. Family routines can help to keep life from becoming too chaotic. However, my family members expect me to be involved in all family events, which means that I have not got much privacy for ages. Actually, my family and I are seeking a compromise. 说明：有别於大多数同学以Yes回答，本题示范进阶技巧(advanced technique)以negative answer吸引考官（面对大量考生，考官可能 听腻了家人很重要这个论调。换个角度回答让考官耳目一新）。先提 出家庭例行事务的功能(general knowledge)，再以参加所有家庭活 动却压缩私人空间为由解释这位同学不像多数人会把家人摆第一位。 回答里更有in my case, however, which means, actually，这些用 法的价值应该不用特别介绍了 比较一般的回答：My family is important to me because they love and care for me no matter what my decisions are in life. We care for each other and always each other back bone. I just love my family. 优点：任何一位同学都能立即自然说出 缺点：整体用字、句型、内涵都不够好，达不到雅思七分水平 结论：未经训练的自然口语表达，只能拿到流利这项分数，其他评分 标准却难以达到七分水平，顾此失彼的大失分是错误的作法；反之， 针对用字、句型、内涵三项评分标准提升口语表达能力，然後反覆练 习提升表达时候的速度和流畅度。先求好再求流利，是我建议的进步 途径 备注：这个方法的最大用意不在刻意制造特殊的回答内容，而是鼓励 同学根据评分项目思索解题的最佳方式。也就是思索这个动作能创造 出较高的回答品质，再反覆练习高品质的回答到自然流畅的程度，绝 非只求立即反应的自然回答、偶尔穿插几个进阶单字，这样中短期内 构不到七分水平的 後记：我的方式对於五点五或六分的同学有神效；至於五分的同学能 适应难度（兼顾字汇量不足、能展现的句型很少、点子不够多）持之 以恒，所花的总学习时间必定比逐步缓步进步来得少。纯粹没有训练 的自然难以在中短期内突飞猛进 Date: 6 pm to 8 pm, Sunday, 2nd October This workshop will be held at a coffee shop near the Metro station, Xinyi District, Taipei City. All participants will be informed in advance. I will invite a limited number of people willing to take photos together. Name/Gender/Age/Mobile/Total Guests/Willing to take photos together (Y or N) I will certainly respond to everyone that has sent me a local email. --
