好多要考IELTS嘅同學都好驚Speaking,一聽到好難嘅問題個腦就一片空白,口啞啞唔知應該講咩。今次就等Wall Street English教大家幾招拖延時間,等自己有更多時間思考應該點樣答。

1. Ask for more time

To be honest, I’m a bundle of nerves today. My mind just went completely blank. Let me take a moment to think about that.

老實說,我今天真的非常緊張,我的腦袋一片空白。我需要一點時間來想想。

Oh, I’ve never thought about that before. Allow me to take a couple of seconds to collect my thoughts.

噢,我沒有想過這個問題,容許我用幾秒時間整理一下我的想法。

2. Ask the examiner to repeat the question

Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by that. Could you please repeat the question?

抱歉,我不太確定你的意思。能請你重複一下這個問題嗎?

3. Comment on the question

That’s an interesting question.

這是一條有趣的問題。

That’s a challenging question.

這是一條具有挑戰性的問題。

4. Tell the examiner that you know little about the topic

Frankly speaking, this is not a topic that I normally talk about. If I had to choose, I would have to say…

老實說,這不是我通常談論的話題。如果讓我選擇,我會說…

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about this topic. If you have to ask me, I would say…

不幸的是,我對這個話題了解不多。如果你問我,我會說…

5. Paraphrase the question

例如:

Examiner: What are the main environmental problems in your country?

Student: Wow, that’s hard to say. I believe the major environmental issues in our nation are…

考官:在你的國家有什麽主要的環境問題?

學生:哇,這有點難說。我認為我們國家的主要環境問題是…

希望大家可以學會活用上面嘅幾個小技巧,無論係IELTS speaking定係平時同人哋傾計都可以對答如流啦。
