Speaking section 題目參考

有同學反應不知如何回答IELTS 口試的某些題目, 例如今年重複的speech 相關題,老師這邊有些整理的資訊可供同學做個參考, 但願對你們去考試時有些許助益:

Cue card:
Tell me about an interesting and impressive speech or talk you have heard, you should say:
1. Who was the speaker
2. Where have you heard the speech
3. What it was about
4. Explain why did you like the speech and what impressed you so much
Model response: The most impressive speech I’ve ever heard was made by a 25-year-old boy. His name is Nick Vujicic, who was born without limbs. This particular speech took place in Hong Kong last year and I heared it online. The speech was about how Nick has faced with countless challenges and obstacles in his life. And his testimony was full of laugh because he has a great sense of humor. I also admire his positive attitude towards life because it’s really difficult for people like him to lead a joyful life. If someone isn’t satisfied with his or life or needs to be encouraged, I would strongly recommend him or her to listen to Nick’s talk.

Inference Qs:
What makes a speech interesting?
Model response: I think the speaker can start with a joke related to the theme of the speech. He can also incorporate some visuals if possible, such as slides, photographs- something he can reference while he is talking. Occasionally, the speaker can start with a question and then talk about the answer.

How can you develop or improve your speaking skills?
Model response: I think participating in a course on public speech is a good way to help me improve my speaking skills. There are professionals in the course, and they would normally share their strategies for successful communications as well as teach people how to make good presentations or deliver a speech. Also, I believe practice makes perfect. Through practice, I will learn lessons from mistakes and sharpen my speaking skills.
