「閱讀」可以增進英文口說能力嗎？
高效方法教給你：選材是關鍵
你讀的是書面英文還是口語英文？
新聞英文很好，但要能分辨記者寫作風格是口語還是書面。大多是書面，引用說話時括號內才是口語
最高效的閱讀學口說，就是讀口語的逐字稿（transcript），並注意該逐字稿的場合，畢竟我們不會在街頭講外交辭令，也不會在談生意的時候講垃圾話，因此合用的 input 非常重要
有了好的 input，再付諸實際口說練習，才會讓自己的表達更靈活，而不只是重複僅有的老掉牙說法還一直被糾正🥲
來讀我最喜歡的逐字稿類型：訪談，正式又自然
最新重大消息是明年一月預計入主白宮的拜登政府宣佈了國務卿（可視為美國外交部長）人選布林肯（Antony Blinken）
法文流利近乎母語的歐洲專家，本月才跟台灣駐美大使蕭美琴通了15分鐘電話討論將來台美合作。我們來看看他在訪談中怎麼看台灣：
記者問：Is U.S. Taiwan cooperation the new normal?
布林肯：Taiwan has had some significant success in dealing with covid-19 and its own expertise and its own experience would be incredibly valuable to the world right now.
We have a strong interest in making sure that Taiwan can be engaged in international organizations, that its own experience and expertise and a whole host of areas can benefit the world. But I think one of the successes, actually, of the relationship between the United States and China over many years, many administrations, Republican and Democrat, has been how we have dealt with the challenge posed by the relationship between China and Taiwan. That's actually been the way it's been handled. Until recently, it's been a source of stability, not instability. And it's actually benefited Beijing and I think benefited Taiwan. I hope we can get that back, get that balance back as we move forward.
記者：So a phone call between Joe Biden and the president of Taiwan, you might be open to?
布林肯：Well, let's see what's happening in January.
以上的單字、片語和句型都非常實用，可以截取練成自己活用的口說和寫作元素
持平來看，布林肯傾向跟華鷹派的龐貝奧不同，布林肯是對美對中對台都要好的全球領導政策方向，對台灣當然是友好，只是應該不會像現在這麼多高階互訪和大動作
我們應該冷靜看待，而不是把對中共的恐懼和制衡中共的期待都寄託在美國身上。跟美國友好的同時，提升自身國際競爭力才是台灣能好的關鍵（就是我們台灣浩語文中心的創辦宗旨！）
