Step 1:回應上一位的發言

假設你唔喺第一位發言,就要回應番上一位考生嘅說話內容,例如︰

It is true that this situation is happening as…
I share the same view with the former candidate since…

或在贊同建議時說︰

The suggestion given by former candidate is feasible because…
We can take the advice given by candidate B because…

留意番!所謂回應喺要比原因,不論反對或同意,如果唔喺就同「I agree with you.」無咩差別,記得比個人意見,先可以博得考官加分!

 

Step 2:說明自己嘅立場

在回應後,記得強調番stance!如果無講立場,後果會非常嚴重,例如題目寫「whether famous people should have their privacy protected」(HKDSE sample paper),明顯要考生比立場,同對比正面同反面論據,如︰

In my opinion, famous people should have their privacy assured. (立場)Some social medias may argue that the celebrity has a role model effect towards the public, so their private lives should be monitored too. (反面論據)However, I believe that famous people are also normal ones when they are out of the stage. They share the same rights as we do. (正面論證)So, the privacy of the celebrity should always be protected but not to be disclosed.(重申立場)

可用五至六句說明立場和正反立論,成為整個發言的重心。

 

Step 3:小結︰轉下個討論重點/問未發言考生的意見

最後一至兩句可視乎情況更換,如果每位考生都大致發表過對分題的意見,可以引入下一個討論問題,例如︰

As we have discussed the background of Ice Bucket Challenge, do you have any suggestions of online activities that can help to raise money for charity purpose?

There are so many challenges for teenagers to write formal emails, but is email really that important in communication? Are there any other forms of communication?

以承上啟下的句子轉移話題,令考官感受到你帶動討論的能力。

如果還有考生未發過言,可以視乎情況,詢問意見,如在建議類的題目說︰

What do you think about our ideas?
Do you have other suggestions?

因為Group discussion 重點是討論,所以要適時把他人帶入討論中。

記住回應>講意見>小結,三個步驟就可以令你嘅發言流暢得嚟,又有重點,咁就可以拎到高分啦!
