Part 1

Do you prefer dry or wet weather?

What kind of weather do you like most?

參考答案：

I like dry and cool weather, for example a dry sunny day in autumn. Because I don’t like the feeling of sweating too much.

What’s your favourite season?

My favourite season is actually winter. I enjoy dry and cold weather because I don’t sweat that much. And there are many winter activities I like, such as skiing and skating.

參考答案：

Hot and humid weather is typical in my hometown. There are 10 months you can wear T-shirts here. And you’ll always have a green Christmas.

Part 2 & 3

Part 2題目

Describe a language you want to learn (not English)

You should say:

What it is

How you would learn it

Where you would learn it

And why you want to learn the language.

提示：

此話題要談一種你想學的除了英文以外的語言，範圍很廣。學習語言的方式多種多樣，可以從書籍、影視、日常生活對話中學習。最後一問問及原因，可以結合自身興趣愛好、工作學習實際來談。

參考答案：

I’d like to learn Japanese if I have the chance. I think the best way of learning a foreign language is to actually live in that country for a certain period of time, and once you immerse into the environment, it is a lot easier for you to pick up a new language. So if I can, I’d like to apply for a short-term language course in Japan and study there.

I like to watch Japanese animation and drama, but my Japanese is too limited to understand the content, so basically I have to rely on subtitles and that’s quite inconvenient. If a certain program is not translated, then I won’t be able to watch it. So that’s the primary reason that I want to learn Japanese. On the other hand, it’s always good to learn a new language as it can sharpen your mind or even bring you some opportunities. For example if I can master the language well, I might have a chance to work in Japan or the related business.

重點詞彙及表達：

①immerse：動詞；沉浸

Eg: He moved to New Orleans so as to immerse himself in the musical atmosphere.

②pick up: 詞組；學會

Eg: Where did you pick up your English?

③subtitle: 名詞；字幕

Eg: The dialogue is in Spanish, with English subtitles.

④ sharpen: 動詞；使敏銳，增強

Eg: He will need to sharpen his diplomatic skills in order to work with Congress.

Part 3題目

1. What can people do to learn a second language?

參考答案：

There are many ways for people to learn a second language. We can attend a class and learn it from a teacher; we can join a study group and learn it from peers; or we can download an application and learn it by ourselves.

重點詞彙及表達：

①peers：名詞；同齡人，同輩

Eg: His engaging personality made him popular with his peers.

②application: 名詞；應用軟件

Eg: The service works as a software application that is accessed via the internet.

2. Is it popular to learn a second language in your country?

參考答案：

Yes, very popular. English has always been the first choice if people want to learn a second language. And Japanese, Spanish are also getting more and more popular as bilateral communication are enhanced. Second language learning has now become a compulsory course in many schools.

重點詞彙及表達：

①bilateral： 形容詞；雙邊的

Eg：Bilateral economic and trade relations between Turkey and the United States will continue to develop.

②compulsory： 名詞；遺蹟，遺物

Eg：He believes that the study of history should be compulsory in school.

3. What are the difficulties of learning a new language?

參考答案：

Learners may first of all have difficulty in learning the pronunciation as it can be quite different from their mother tongue. In addition, they have to remember a large number of vocabulary and grammar in order to structure the language properly. And that can be quite painful.

重點詞彙及表達：

①mother tongue：詞組；母語

Eg：Mother tongue education and learning languages were also highlighted as a means to foster dialogue and openness towards others.

②painful: 形容詞；痛苦的，令人不快的

Eg：Like an awkward teenager, however, Facebook is finding that growing up can be painful.

4. What’s the best way to learn a new language?

參考答案：

I think the best way of learning a foreign language is to actually live in the country for a certain period of time. You can quickly fit in with the life by talking to the locals, watching local TV programs or reading books in the native language. And once you immerse into the environment, it is a lot easier for you to pick up a new language.

重點詞彙及表達：

①fit in with：詞組；適應

Eg：Most people who come from other countries seem to fit in with the way of life here.

②locals: 名詞；本地人，當地居民

Eg：Camping is a great way to meet the locals as the Portuguese themselves are enthusiastic campers.

A類小作文：

題目：The chart shows the changes in the percentage of households with cars in a European country between 1971 and 2001. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

解題思路：

本題爲動態題，因爲描述的是1971-2001年的數據，因此需要使用過去時態。主體段落可根據圖示分類，描述家用汽車數量的變化趨勢。在寫作過程中要點出最大值和最小值，並且簡單說明整體趨勢，比如沒有車輛的家庭佔比在逐年減少，擁有一輛汽車的家庭比例在後20年成爲佔比最大的一組等。

參考範文：

The bar chart clearly illustrates the percentage of families in a European country in terms of private car ownership from 1971 to 2001. It is obvious that the ratio of households without cars declined continuously in the three decades, while families that held one or more cars saw a more vigorous growth.

To be specific, households with no cars accounted for over 51% in 1971, the highest percentage in the 30 years, and since then, the figure decreased to 41% in 1981 and 30% in 1991, followed by a drop to 28% in 2001. Compared with the proportions before 1980s, families with one car experienced a rising trend especially in the last two decades when the percentage jumped from a little over 30% in 1971 and 1981 to more than 45% in 2001. For the households that owned two or more cars, the ratio fluctuated during the 30 years from the lowest 15% in 1971 to the highest 28% in both 1981 and 2001.

Overall, most families did not have cars between 1971 and 1981, and those with only one car ranked the second place. But from 1991 to 2001, the situation reversed as a majority of households owned one car, with the highest percentage of 50% in 1991.

重點表達：

①in terms of:   就……而言

②vigorous: adj.   充滿活力的

③account for:   佔有

④reverse: v.   顛倒，翻轉

A類大作文：

題目：In many countries nowadays, more and more women have full-time jobs as men. There is a logic that men and women should share the housework tasks equally. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

題型：同意與否類

話題：社會與家庭類

解題思路：本題需要討論的是夫妻雙方是否需要平等地分配家務這個話題。在回答問題的時候，不管是同意還是不同意，在首段要明確觀點，切記觀點不清。由於篇幅限制，不太建議中立的寫法，容易論證不足給人一種立場不清的感覺。

參考範文：

Nowadays, the majority of women have jobs, which means housework does not come with a gender anymore. To maintain the harmony in a family, it is probably best for couples to share the domestic work equally.

Although it is our traditional norm that defines women’s responsibility for the housework, as women’s involvement in the workforce increases, it is reasonable that husbands should take responsibility to share the domestic duties. If women who are employed on full time basis outside still need to do the lion’s share of the chores at home, they are more likely to feel upset and stressful about unfinished tasks, which will adversely affect marital satisfaction and household happiness. By contrast, many researches have shown that men doing more chores can help strengthen marriages and protect against divorce.

While it sounds like a common sense that both men and women need to devote equal time to domestic chores, the fact is that the amount of time women spend on routine housework tasks still dwarfs the time spent on non-routine domestic matters carried out by men. In such families, many husbands tend to reflect that it will make them feel a loss of identity to assist their wife in doing household chores. This feeling threatens their passions and makes them unwilling to participate in household tasks such as raising children and cleaning. However, it should be well recognised that the house is shared by both partners, and there should not be a reason why husband should feel ashamed to do chores around the house.      

In conclusion, sharing the housework evenly is a surefire way to keep a harmonious relationship between the couples, and it is believed that the gender gap in housework will disappear someday. 

重點表達：

①workforce: n.   勞動力

②the lion’s share: 大部分

③marital satisfaction: 婚姻滿意度

④dwarf: v. 使…顯得過於矮小
