Cue Card 备考策略

- 结构化框架：采用“总-分-总”结构，
- 开头：点明主题（书名、作者）。
- 主体：分点回答问题（内容、选择原因、个人感受）。
- 总结或推荐理由。
示例框架：
| 部分 | 内容要点 |

| | 推荐：适合所有年龄段读者 |
与逻辑衔接
- 具体化细节：避免泛泛而谈，用细节支撑观点，描述书籍时提及具体情节或角色。
- 连接词运用：合理使用“However,” “Furthermore,” “As a result”等词汇增强连贯性。
词汇与句式升级
- 同义替换：interesting”可替换为“captivating,” “thought-provoking。”
- 复合句：结合定语从句、状语从句等，“The book, which explores the journey of self-discovery, left a deep impression on me.”
模拟练习与反馈
- 计时训练：严格遵循 1 分钟准备 + 2 分钟陈述的时间限制。
- 录音复盘：回听录音，检查流利度、语法及发音问题。
- 寻求反馈：与老师或语伴模拟练习，针对性改进。
Cue Card 范例解析
话题：Describe a time you helped someone.
参考回答：
“Last month, I helped my neighbor, an elderly lady named Mrs. Wang, with her smartphone. She had recently bought one but struggled to use video calls to stay in touch with her grandchildren abroad.
First, I assessed her needs: she needed basic guidance on apps like WeChat and camera functions. I started by demonstrating step-by-step, using simple language and avoiding technical jargon. For example, I showed her how to initiate a video call by tapping the ‘+’ icon and selecting a contact.
Mrs. Wang was initially nervous, but with my patience and visual aids—such as handwritten notes—she quickly grasped the basics. By the end of the session, she could independently make calls and send photos. Her gratitude was evident when she invited me for tea, saying I had ‘bridged the gap’ between her and her family.
This experience taught me the value of empathy and simplified communication. It also reinforced my belief that small acts of kindness can significantly impact others’ lives.”
亮点分析：
- 结构清晰：按“事件背景-具体行动-结果感悟”展开。
- 细节生动：提及“handwritten notes”和“bridged the gap”等具体表达。
- 词汇多样：使用“assessed,” “demonstrating,” “gratitude”等高级词汇。
常见错误与规避方法
空洞**：
- 错误：“The book was good. I liked it.”
- 改进：加入具体情节或个人感受。
-
过度依赖模板：
- 错误：使用千篇一律的开头如 “I’d like to talk about…”
- 改进：灵活切换句式，如 “One memorable book I’ve read recently is…”
-
时间管理不当：
- 错误：前 30 秒说尽所有观点，剩余时间卡壳。
- 改进：合理分配内容，确保每个问题都有回应。
