Preface 作者序

I’ve decided to combine the best of what I have learned over the last 20 years teaching IELTS speaking and researching the test into this book. It contains by far the most useful speaking training methods and the best IELTS answering techniques you will ever find. Nothing has been left out.

Reading this book is like being taken on a journey. You’ll be systematically trained in the English speaking skills of fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Next, you’ll be led even further on your journey by learning how to not only think like a native speaker but also talk like one with the Ultimate Answering System (AYEFX).

Reading this book is also like taking a class in which you are taught to completely master IELTS speaking. What cram schools don’t teach you and examiners are forbidden to tell you about the real Band Descriptors is revealed here for the first time. The Master Stories Method, another major part of your training, will help you develop your ability to discuss various topics at length.

Regardless of whether you’re an IELTS test taker or someone who simply wants to vastly improve your English speaking skills, I hope that you will practice “echoing” all of the perfect-scoring recorded answers I have created for you at least 10 times each: the more you do this, the better. Also, if you are used to speaking with an American accent, feel free to echo the American voice; likewise, if a British accent is more to your taste, feel free to echo the British voice.

The standard to set for yourself is not simply to be able to speak English, but to be able to say something! Once you can do that, you will have reached an IELTS standard of Band 7.5 or higher.

I hope you enjoy using this book.

I ask only one thing: practice diligently and never give up on your dreams.

You can do it!


我將這二十年的雅思教學經驗與研究 : 最有用的英文口說練習法與雅思口說答題技巧，毫無保留的全寫進這本書裡，不留一手。

讀這本書，就像個旅程，帶著你有系統的練英文口說。一路從流利度與連貫性、字彙、文法到發音的訓練，接著更進一步教你 : 母語人士說英文的思維「AYEFX」，讓你從思考、講英文就像個母語人士。

讀這本書，也像個課程，帶著你徹底的掌握雅思口說。補習班不會教你的、考官不能告訴你的 : 真正口說評分規則，在這裡將被揭開。「主軸故事法」也是重頭戲之一，這個技巧能夠紮實培養你談論各種話題的口說能力。

無論你是不是雅思考生，或只是單純想把英文口說練好，我都希望你能確實的把每一個我為你撰寫的滿分口說答題示範，跟著音檔複誦超過十遍以上，多多益善。（如果你習慣講美語腔，請你跟著美語腔的音檔模仿複誦；如果你習慣講英國腔，那就跟著英國腔的音檔模仿複誦吧！）

練好英文口說的標準，不是在「能說」，而是要能說得「言之有物」。
當你達到這個標準時，你的雅思口說也已達到Band 7.5以上的水準。

希望你會喜歡這本書。

最後，我只要求一件事：勤奮地練習，絕不要放棄你的夢想。
你一定能做到！

1-3 Speaking Band Descriptors
考官眼裡的雅思口說評分表

You must study the Band Descriptors to understand exactly how you can achieve your ideal score. Your score is based (almost) 100% on the band descriptors, so understanding them is one of your top priorities. While most students are too lazy to study the Band Descriptors, you cannot afford to be. To give the examiners what they want, you must know how they are scoring you. If you have taken the IELTS multiple times in the past without much improvement, perhaps one of the reasons is because you don't understand the Band Descriptors. This chapter will help.

你一定要研讀評分標準，才能知道到底該怎麼做才能達到你的理想分數。你所得到的口說分數（幾乎）百分之百是根據評分標準而來，因此了解雅思口說評分標準是你的第一優先。雖然很多考生都懶得去研究評分標準，但你可承受不起這個後果。為了要講出考官想要聽到的答題內容，你必須知道他們是怎麼幫你打分數的。如果你曾經考過幾次雅思，但分數都沒什麼進步，很有可能是你不了解評分標準。本章將會助你一臂之力。

4 criteria on the Band Descriptors (each worth 25% of your score)
雅思口說評分標準的四大項目（每一項佔總分的25%）

1. Fluency and Coherence (FC) 流利度與連貫性
2. Lexical Resource (LR) 詞彙豐富度
3. Grammatical Range and Accuracy (GRA) 文法多樣性與準確度
4. Pronunciation (P) 發音

There are two versions of the Band Descriptors: the public version and the examiner's version.

Naturally, examiners use the examiner's version. Luckily, the two versions are nearly identical for Fluency and Coherence (FC), Lexical Resource (LR), and Grammatical Range and Accuracy (GRA). However, the public version's Pronunciation (P) criteria lacks important information, so I will explain the differences in more detail later in this chapter.

值得注意的是，雅思口說評分標準有兩種版本：公開版和考官版。

當然，考官是用考官版。好在這兩種版本在流利度與連貫性（FC）、詞彙豐富度（LR）與文法多樣性與準確度（GRA）幾乎是一模一樣的。而它們之間最大的差別是在發音（P），公開版的發音（P）缺少了許多重要的評分規則，所以我會在這個章節仔細說明它們之間的差別。

How, precisely, is the speaking score calculated?
口說分數到底是怎麼算出來的？

The four criteria (Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation) each receive an integer score and are rounded, but they are not rounded according to normal rounding rules. Speaking (and writing) scores are not rounded up - they are only rounded down. Note that this method of rounding is only for the Speaking and Writing scores but not for the Overall score. Let's look at a few examples to make it clearer:

考官會分別給出流利度與連貫性（FC）、詞彙豐富度（LR）、文法多樣性與準確度（GRA）、發音（P）這四項分數，來交給英國劍橋大學語言測評考試院（簡稱劍橋）。劍橋會依據這四項分數給一個調整後的整數成績。而這個調整很特別，不像雅思總分（Overall）是四捨五入而來。雅思口說（和寫作）的給分原則是 : 只要四項評分標準的平均沒有足足達到該級分，就會自動往下降。我們來看看下面的範例說明，會更清楚：

The following scores all produce an Overall Band 7
以下四項評分標準的分數配置，都會讓口說成績變成Band 7

(FC-LR-GRA-P)
7-7-7-7 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 7）
6-6-8-8（算術平均Mathematical Average of 7）
8-7-6-7 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 7）
9-7-5-8 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 7.25）
8-8-7-6 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 7.25）

The following scores all produce an Overall Band 6.5
以下四項評分標準的分數配置，都會讓口說成績變成Band 6.5
(FC-LR-GRA-P)
7-7-6-6 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 6.5）
6-6-6-8 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 6.5）
7-7-7-6 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 6.75）
6-6-7-8 （算術平均Mathematical Average of 6.75）

As you can see, if you hope to get a band 7, you need to have at least an average of 7 or 7.25. This method of rounding is designed to make it more difficult to get high scores in speaking (and writing).

Let's now look at each criterion in more detail and specify what you are trying to accomplish and what you are trying to avoid for each. More information about how to specifically work on each area (FC, LR, GRA, and P) can be found in a separate chapter in Unit 2.

如上，如果你想得到Band 7，你的平均分數至少要有7或7.25。因此，這樣的給分設計讓考生更難在口說（和寫作）拿到高分。

現在我們來仔細地看每一項評分標準的規則。我會具體的說明你要達成的目標和如何避免失分。在Unit 2裡，我也會逐一教你怎麼練習口說的流利度與連貫性（FC）、詞彙豐富度（LR）、文法多樣性與準確度（GRA）與發音（P）。
流利度與連貫性（Fluency and Coherence╱FC）
考官會從以下四大面向來評分：

Fluency and Coherence (FC):
流利度與連貫性

You are being judged on four main areas:
考官會用以下四大方面來評分：

1. How continuous your speech is
說話的連續性（有沒有斷斷續續）

◼︎You must make sure your answers are long enough and keep speaking until you finish your ideas. You also need to finish clearly.
◼︎Do not give very short answers or long lists (For example, if you are asked, “What’s your neighbourhood like?”, you should not answer with “Convenient, quite safe, very quiet…” Such listing would give you a Band 4 in FC).
◼︎Do not repeat words and phrases. You especially don't want to mindlessly repeat the examiner's question.
◼︎Do not pause for a long time, especially to search for words. Too much pausing can lead to a Band 4 or lower.
◼︎Do not correct your grammar - it will interrupt your answer and may confuse the examiner.

◼︎你的回答內容一定要夠長，並且你能持續講，講到你把想講的話都講完為止。還有講話要有頭有尾，讓人聽得出來你講完了。
◼︎不要給太簡短的答案或像流水帳的列點式回答，例如考官問 : What is your neighbourhood like? 你說 : Convenient, quite safe, very quiet...（列點式回答：沒有說明，只有列點，這樣你的FC會降到Band 4）
◼︎不要反覆說同樣的單字或片語，尤其是不要傻傻地把考官問的題目重新一模一樣講一遍。
◼︎不要停頓太久，尤其是你在想 : 要怎麼講某個情況，或是你想不出那個單字怎麼說而停頓下來。注意！ 停頓過長或過多都會讓你的FC降到Band 4或更低分。
◼︎講話的時候，不要回頭糾正自己的文法―因為這樣會打斷你說話的流利度，也可能會造成考官的困惑，聽不太懂你到底要講什麼。


1-4 Myth Busters
破解雅思口說的各種迷思

(?) Myth 迷思#4:

Examiners prefer British accents,
so you need to speak with a British accent.
╳ 考官偏好英國腔，所以你需要用英國腔說話。

Admittedly, this may seem logical because the IELTS is written by Cambridge, a British institution. However, examiners come from a variety of countries, and they themselves have a variety of accents. Furthermore, those examiners who do come from the UK are already used to a variety of accents from test takers. Therefore, you should not change your accent specifically for the IELTS because it would simply waste valuable time and not affect your speaking score whatsoever.
不可否認這個迷思似乎合邏輯，因為雅思是英國的機構－劍橋出產的考試。然而，考官來自於世界各地，他們各有自己的口音。再者，即使是來自於英國的考官，也已經習慣了考生的各種口音。所以，你不需要為了考雅思而特別改變你的英文腔調，那只會浪費你寶貴的練習時間，而且對你的口說分數沒有加分。
