① 先搞清考官在找什么
板书开场三问:How's it going? What are they looking for? What do they need you to do in the speaking test?
答案:show spoken English — clearly, fluently. They are looking for someone who can speak fluently without effort.(不费力地说出来)
所以练的目标不是"背答案",是让句子不假思索地流出来。这也解释了为什么"清晰度、自然度"比"快"重要(第 10 课)。
② 万能展开动作一:问自己问题
一个话题进来,先自己问三句,答案自己就长出来了:
| 自问 | 板书句式 |
|---|---|
| 重要吗? | Is it important? / How important is it? / level of importance |
| 有价值吗? | Is it valuable? |
| 反过来呢? | What if you don't have any opportunity?(反向假设) |
板书还标了两个场景词:competitive job market(竞争激烈的就业市场)、topic related information(回答要落到跟话题有关的信息上)。
③ 万能展开动作二:命名(naming)
把抽象的东西起个名字,句子立刻有骨架 —— 命名之后接 what 从句:
- POLITENESS —
Politeness is what shows who you are.(礼貌 = 说明你是谁的东西) - opportunity(机会)— 是"一个能让你大展拳脚的平台",是"拼图的最后一块"
- luck(运气)— "以努力为基础的运气"
这就是第 1 课学的表语从句:把"要说的东西"先命名,再放到 is 后面。写下来练:Politeness is what shows who you are.
④ 示范一:Do you feel bored? / Do you often feel tired?
板书思路:sleeping quality(睡眠质量)→ concentration(注意力)
It's like losing concentration on everything. This is the time when I know I need a cup of americano with extra ice — to wake myself up, to keep me refreshed, to keep me awake.
| 零件 | 作用 |
|---|---|
| It's like losing concentration on everything. | 比喻:困的感觉"像什么都没法集中"(第 1 课的 it's like) |
| This is the time when I know… | when 定语从句:把"这种时候"框出来 |
| a cup of americano with extra ice | 具体:不是"喝咖啡",是"加冰的美式" |
| to wake myself up / keep me refreshed / keep me awake | 三个目的排比,一口气收尾 |
⑤ 示范二:opportunity(机会)
板书的中文思路:
- 机会是一个能让你大展拳脚的平台;
- 机会往往是拼图的最后一块;
- 机会之所以被称为机会,是因为你已经花了功夫、走到了终点前一步,只差那一点"运气" —— 那是以努力为基础的运气。
Everybody likes opportunities. It's like when it comes to studying or doing something really important and big, what I think is that opportunities only matter when you are ready. For that, you need to go the extra mile to grab it.
关键词:the last piece(最后一块)/ put some effort / go the extra mile(多走一里地)/ luck。句型:what I think is that…(第 1 课的观点收束)+ only … when …(只有当…才…)。
⑥ 示范三:politeness(礼貌)
- 命名句:
Politeness is what shows who you are. - 重要吗:Is it important? —— 是美德(virtue)。
- 为什么重要:politeness means opportunity(礼貌意味着机会)。
- 没礼貌的后果:有礼貌的人 / 被称为"没教养" —— it shows who you are。
- 怎么做(How to be polite?):① 父母要在意自己儿女的礼貌用词和习惯;② 观察每个人的特点。
⑦ 紧张怎么办(板书)
| 板书 | 意思 |
|---|---|
| 紧张什么? | 考试是否能有好的状态 |
| 为什么紧张? | 我准备得太充足了,以至于如果没考好,我会觉得亏欠自己的时间 |
| 紧张有好处吗? | —— 想一想:练习一定是有用的,而且不是一辈子只能考一次 |
| 最后一块 = 花功夫 + 运气 | 这次就算考不好,之前准备的东西也有用;考好了,准备的过程本身也是有价值的经验 |
板书收尾那三个词:last piece · put some effort · go for extra miles · luck。
⑧ 7 字诀 mantra(每次答题前过一遍)
板书:2 / 3 / 7 word mantra —— 7 字诀:语 喜 感 定 状 名 习(板书残留编号:4 状 5 定 7 习)。开口之前先问自己一句:Is it important?
⑨ 语法桥(第 1 课同款工具,本课再用一次)
| 桥 | 例句 | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| 宾语从句 I know (that) + 句子 | I know you need a cup of water. | 我知道你需要一杯水 |
| 表语从句 … is what + 句子 | A cup of coffee is what I need. | 咖啡才是我需要的 |
| 把"需要的"提前 | What I need right now is a cup of coffee. | 我现在需要的是一杯咖啡 |
| 开场收束 | I'm excited about what I'm going to share today. | 我对今天要分享的东西很兴奋 |
本课把它用在了"命名"上:Politeness is what shows who you are. —— 同一个句型,换一个名词,就是新的答案。
