英文會考Oral句子一問

開首引領討論，你可帶微笑禮貌地說：




Are we all ready to start?
All right, let's start.
Is everybody ready to begin?
Let's begin , shall we?
Okay, are we ready to begin?
Shall we start the discussion?




雖這是問題形式,但又不必等其他考生回應才開始。因為其他考生未必能給與你反應，故你說這些開首句後見沒有回應等１－２秒便可開始了。




而結尾方面需分開兩部份，首先是結論，其次是結尾句(THE ENDING)
結論方面：



Finally , we all agree/think that....
Let's sum up what we've decide so far. we all agree that .....
Right, so far we've agreed on/decided on ....
Let's conclude what we've discussion ,we've agreed on ......
To sum up our discussion , we all agree that .....
以上是題目要大家達成共識時的結論
若題目只是要求考生發表自己意見，則無需說"we all agree that "
可用 "Well, i think it's time to conclude our discussion."





結尾句方面：



That's all we have time for today.Thank you everyone.
I think we've coveres all the points for the topic.Thank you .
I don't think we have anything more to say.Let's finish the discussion.
That's the end of our discussion. Thank you.






認同或不認同別人意見之回應：




一定不可用"I agree with you / i don't agree with you."





認同別人時可說：




That's a good point.
I have the same idea with yours.
You read my mind !
I think it will work.
I support your opinion.
I'm strongly in favour of this.




不認同別人時：



I can see your points, but it may not be good because .....
I can see your points, but i'm afriad it may not work because......
I'm not sure if that'll work.
That argument doen't work in this case.
I doubt if that's a good choice/idea.

「我仲想問下如果比人講完開頭同對方自己意見時, 我想出聲應該點講?」
對方說話時你要細心聆聽，待他完結時你想發言便要先說你認同／不認同對方觀點，再略講對方提及的觀點然後稍作解釋，之後發表自己意見便可。

如遇上DEAD AIR，你可以再補充一下自己的觀點（是補充不是重覆喔，需要新的意見），或者你認為所有小提示的題目都己討論完，無意見可再補充時，便引開另一討論的相關話題，即是小提示最後的" ANYTHING ELES IS IMPORTANT"，這樣帶起討論便可。
"maybe we can move on , let's talk about something new...."
"let's move on to other topic...."
當然轉移題目前要禮貌詢問組員"do you have any ideas?"

「到individual presentation時當我聽唔明對方問咩, 我應該叫佢問多一次定係轉第2題問我呢? 應該點樣問?」
如真的聽不清楚（是聽不清楚喔！），你可以請考官重覆一次。
" may i beg your pardon? "
"could you please repeat again? "
如果是聽不明白（不懂題目為何），你便不用請考官重覆了，因為考官真的只會重讀而不會解釋題目。你可以請考官轉題目：
" could you please ask/change to another question? "
" may i get another topic? "

You can use simple opening like "Let's start now!"or "Shall we start now?"to start the discussion, and then you'd better add some own ideas on it, like "i agree that......because.....; But do bear in mind that your opening should not be too long, no more than 50 seconds.....

To ask others' opinions, you can just say "What do you think about this?"If someone is not attentive enough, simply ask "Do you agree with me"or "What do you think about my idea?"

Agree or disagree is simple. For agree, "I see you point" "Yes, i do think that...." "Yes, you have a great point". Try not to use "I agree with you" since there's too many candidates using this. For disagree, "I am sorry but I can't agree with you" or simply say "but do you really think that....?"

For the ending, it is not a must to have a conclusion, if you group is very attentive, you can just simply continue. But in the end, if no one is talking, then you should add a conclusion, like "Let's conclude about what we say"or "Let's have a conclusion" "In the past few minutes, we have mentioned.......and we all agree that........" Then it's finished.

Second quesion: if others have mentioned your idea, then you can think of another idea or just agree with that candidate and add some materials. Like "Yes, i feel the same way, for example....."Add something that is new and make it as your own opinion. If no one's speaking, ask that i have mentioned above. It's not your fault if they don't answer your question. You have already showed the judges that you have try to make contributions to the discussion.

For individual presentation, try to identify what the problem is. If the problem is that you can't listen to the question clearly, then ask the judge to repeat the question. If the problem is you don't understand what the questions mean, simply ask "Sorry, can i have another question?"

Try to stick to the question and do not change it if you can, because asking for another question is something that should be avoided.

例如開頭,
表達自己意見,
In my opinion, ....
Well, I think .....


問其他考生, 同意, 不同意,
Do you agree?


結尾, 仲有其他特別可以加?
Is there anything particular to add?
(不過，我覺得這句比較像考試官插嘴時才會說，因為語氣比較有引導／歸納的意思．)
