THỬ SỨC VỚI MỘT ĐỀ THI SPEAKING PART 2 MỚI CỦA QUÝ 2/2021
>> Download bản PDF tại đây: https://m.me/286585161523028?ref=Describeanenvironmentalproblem
Describe an environmental problem that has occurred in your country.
You should say:
- What the cause of the problem is
- What effect it has had on your country
- What action has been taken to solve this
- Why you think it is important to solve this problem
I’m gonna talk about air pollution, which is one of the most severe environmental problems in my city.
This issue is caused by several reasons. Firstly, due to modernization, private vehicles become more affordable for people from all walks of life. This leads to the fact that there are more and more cars, trucks and motorbikes instead of bicycles commuting on roads. As a result, the amount of exhaust emissions stemming from these modes of transport increases, and therefore the atmosphere is contaminated. Secondly, more factories and power plants built also contribute to air pollution.
As regards actions taken to solve this problem, people should use environmentally-friendly transportations like bicycles or buses instead of their private vehicles like cars or motorbikes. Another action might be that it’s the government’s responsibility to plant more trees in the city and encourage their citizens to plant trees at home.
Of course, it’s vital for us to come up with other solutions to mitigate this issue as soon as we can because of its clear detriments. You know, breathing in such severely polluted air can be very harmful to our health. To be more specific, long-term exposure to air pollution might lead to several diseases associated with heart, lungs, cancers and other health problems. In addition to that, the severity of polluted air causes the high frequency of smog in the morning, which makes commuters difficult to see. As a result, there might be more traffic accidents occurring in my city. That’s why it’s important for us to control air pollution.
* air pollution /ˈeə pəˌluː.ʃən/ (noun phr.): sự ô nhiễm môi trường
* affordable /əˈfɔː.də.bəl/ (adj): có khả năng chi trả được, rẻ
* walk of life (idiom): người từ các địa vị khác nhau
* exhaust emissions /ɪɡˈzɔːst iˈmɪʃ.ən/ (noun phr.): lượng khí thải
* contaminate /kənˈtæm.ɪ.neɪt/ (verb): làm ô nhiễm
* come up with something (phrasal verb): nghĩ ra (biện pháp gì, ý tưởng gì)
* mitigate something /ˈmɪt.ɪ.ɡeɪt/ (verb): làm giảm nhẹ cái gì
* detriment /ˈdet.rɪ.mənt/ (noun): tác hại
* long-term exposure to something /ɪkˈspəʊ.ʒər/ (noun phr.): tiếp xúc lâu dài với cái gì
* associated with something /əˈsəʊ.si.eɪ.tɪd/ (adj): liên quan đến cái gì
* severity /sɪˈver.ə.ti/ (noun): sự nghiêm trọng

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 美國🇺🇸
Trump Administration Turns Up Pressure on China on Several Fronts
川普政府在幾個方面對中國施加更大的壓力。
WASHINGTON—The Trump administration is intensifying U.S. pressure on China, piling on visa bans, sanctions and other restrictions that are battering already unsettled ties between the world’s two largest economies.
📌 文章第一段就以這個主題為切入點,施壓的領域包括簽證禁令、制裁和其他限制。
🖋 intensify pressure on 的意思就是 turn up pressure on。pile on (堆積),在修辭學裡有「轉化」的作用(將虛擬實)。ban (禁令)、sanction (制裁) 和 restriction (限制)常於國際新聞出現的詞語。
Attorney General William Barr, in a speech Thursday, warned U.S. businesses that they are at risk of collaborating with a Chinese government that ultimately seeks to supplant them in its expanding state-run economy. Administration officials are also discussing banning travel by China’s Communist Party members and their families to the U.S., people familiar with the matter said.
📌 文章第二段引述美國司法部長在一篇演說中對企業家的警告:中國政府最終或許取締他們!這段也提到美國官員考慮禁止中國共產黨員和家屬去美國。
🖋 Attorney General (司法部長)是美國高級官員,他想美國企業發出嚴厲的警告,用at risk of + noun phrase 來表達。administration official 是常用的片語,指政府官員。
Discussions are in early stages, with no timeline for being put into effect, the people said. If put into policy, advisers and policy analysts said the ban would strike at the legitimacy of the increasingly powerful party.
📌文章第三段補充說,有關考慮處於初步階段,如果被實施回打擊共產黨的合法性。
🖋 timeline (時間表)是常用用語,其他常見的用語包括 policy、adviser、policy analyst。legitimacy (合法性)是個高階字,在有關政治的文章常常出現。
The administration has amped up a broader confrontation with Beijing in recent weeks by imposing sanctions on a member of the Communist Party leadership, signing legislation that targets other Chinese officials and holding full-scale military exercises in the South China Sea.
📌文章第四段講述美國在最近幾個星期跟中國的對抗:制裁一位共產黨高層人員、簽署針對其他中國官員的法例和在南中國海舉行軍事演習。
🖋amp up (放大) 是個轉化的修辭片語,impose(施加)跟sanction搭配的,legislation是law的同義詞,target在這裡是及物動詞,千萬別加at。
All this has come after President Trump for months has blamed China for covering up the initial corona virus outbreak that his administration has struggled to contain in the U.S.
📌文章第五段為這一切提供背景:川普幾個月來責怪中國隱瞞疫情。
🖋 blame 是基本的動詞,要記住它的用法,cover up (掩飾) 很常用,另外,contain在這裡的意思不是包括,而是遏制。

關於韓市長的「晶晶體」: http://bit.ly/2kENRVv
★★★★★★★★★★★★

★★★★★★★★★★★★
韓國瑜(1957年6月17日-),中華民國政治人物,中國國民黨,現任高雄市市長,中華民國陸軍軍官學校專修學生班40期、東吳大學英國語文學系文學學士、國立政治大學東亞研究所法學碩士。
EDIT: New Sample (08.21.2019): https://youtu.be/1xrcXcZvAko?t=148 (請先看完我們的分析)
最先去搜尋的是ICRT全英文的專訪,但是大部分影片和錄音檔都被刪除,只留下一些片段: https://youtu.be/zDYhd7XiSUQ?t=12 (Vid 1)
•prosperious -- prosperous Kaohsiung
•We will hire the English teacher so that we can save money -- cause, effect relationship?
•intelligible English pronunciation but spoke in short phrases
https://youtu.be/3helP_n9jY8?t=481 (Vid 2)
•唸稿子的時候有適當的停頓, 英文語調也有上下的起伏
•met--made, we have made the impossible possible
•in everyone eyes--in everyone’s eyes
•longing for better tomorrow --longing for a better tomorrow
•整體上來說沒有什麼問題...
•很難去評估真正的英文口語能力,畢竟是念稿子
•從詞彙量而言,至少足夠回應一般生活類問題
•因為句子還蠻短的,所以沒有什麼語法錯誤
•口音是一定有的,但是算標準,可以聽得懂
•短句的流暢度沒有大問題,但是連貫性可以增加
★★★★★★★★★★★★
郭台銘(英文名:Terry Gou,1950年10月18日-),中華民國企業家,新北板橋人,籍貫山西省晉城縣,臺灣省立板橋中學初中部、中國海事專科學校(今臺北海洋科技大學)航運管理科畢業,是鴻海科技集團(富士康)和鴻海精密的董事長兼總經理。以個人資產705億美元名列富比士億萬富翁列表中的第7大富豪,同時也是臺灣首富。2019年4月17日,郭台銘宣布投入中國國民黨的2020年中華民國總統選舉黨內初選。
郭台銘 - 企業領袖高峰會演講 APEC CEO Summit 2013: https://youtu.be/c733wqJup_I?t=175
•聽完他的對答覺得講得很好
•應該已經在商業界上運用英文三十幾年了
•1985就建立在美國一家分公司
•因為是商業場合,講的話算官方但直接
•以流暢度來說,會給高的評分
•英文詞彙上應用專業術語 (e.g., key components, technology integration)
•不熟悉字型的變化 morphology/word form--manufacture, manufacturing, manufacturer --we emerged as an electronics manufacturer; we innovation designer --no be verb; we are use all component and integration --we utilize component integration testing?, etc.)
•發音也蠻多問題的
•猜測他應該是有在練英文口語
•應該沒有太多寫作上的需求
•猜測他學習英文的方式是蠻自然的
•沒有花額外的時間在學習文法,刻意的去修正自己的錯誤
•學習英文的只是為了工作需求
•說話有連貫性也有技巧,但是無法精準表達意思
•在特定場景的口說上應該是沒有問題,因為重複性高而且大概可以猜出他會講什麼
•說實話,表現超出預料
★★★★★★★★★★★★
柯文哲(1959年8月6日-),中華民國著名外科醫師、無黨籍政治人物。現任臺北市市長。國立臺灣大學醫學院臨床醫學研究所博士畢業,曾任臺大醫院急診部醫師、臺大醫院創傷醫學部主任、臺大醫學院教授,2014年宣布參選臺北市市長選舉,並以「在野大聯盟」為號召,同年當選臺北市第15任直轄市市長,成為臺北市改制直轄市後首位無黨籍市長。2018年,參選臺北市市長並成功連任。
https://youtu.be/ffIxQ27jUdQ?t=159
•首先媒體對柯市長太嚴格了
•常講英文的時候是為了開玩笑「柯式幽默」
•在這個影片當中他確實有看稿子
•and da today
•today (stress on the second syllable )
•medical (stress on first syllable)
•metary -- military
• problems cause by L1 interference
•從語音結構上來看,中文是一種「音節計時語言(syllable-timed language)及「聲調語言」(tone language),每個字由一個音節構成,唸起來各音節輕重相當且時間大致等長,而且每個字有自己的聲調;但英語是一種「重音計時語言」(stress-timed language)及「語調語言」(intonation language),每個字的音節數不一,由各音節是否有重音來決定其輕重、長短與音階高低,而重音落於何處也會決定其語意之不同。

•One of the most noticeable features of English is that some of its syllables are strong while many others are weak” (Roach, 2000, p81). English stress pattern is manifested through syllable length, loudness and pitch. In other words, stressed syllables are longer, louder and higher pitched than unstressed ones. Sometimes one word that is stressed differently may have different grammatical functions and meanings, for example, the homographs “record” (verb) and “record” (noun). “Record” has the stress on second syllable when it is a verb, and it has stress on the first when it is a noun. The shift of the stress even makes a noticeable difference to the sound of the vowels, for instance, “e” in noun “REcord” is pronounced as /e/, but /ɪ/ in verb “reCORD”.

•coal values -- core values
•freedom, tolerance, rule of law
•用詞大致上是正確的雖然還是有字形上(word form)的問題
•expensive -- expense
•每個句子都很短,但還是有溝通的功能
•蠻多文法的問題
•個人認為是有知識和魅力的一位候選人
•聽他用英文演講一段時間真的有困擾,因為沒重音,很難辨識重點
•講話沒有太多語調和節奏,在英文發音裡面是一個非常重要的環節
•會導致聽者需要完全專注他每一個字才能辨識他在說什麼
•不覺得每一個政治人物都需要英文,有專業和可靠的翻譯輔助,就覺得不會是一種困擾
•英文是一種工具,多一種工具就多一種選擇,但這種工具用不好時也有可能會造成一些誤解
