套題擺一邊，以策略為中心的雅思口說演練方法，更能活用

雅思口說除了以套題為單位然後逐題練習之外，還可用策略為中心並設法把策略應用到不同考題的演練模式。

舉例：運用事實＋情感策略

Q1: Have you ever been late for an important event?

Yes, I have been late for an important event once. It was a stressful experience, and I felt quite embarrassed. However, it taught me the importance of better time management.

是的，我曾經因為重要活動而遲到。那次經歷既緊張又尷尬。然而它讓我了解了良好時間管理的重要性。

Q2: Do you like physical exercise?

I absolutely love working out. After each workout, I feel mentally and physically refreshed, and that feeling just fuels my passion for exercise even more.

我非常喜歡健身。每次鍛鍊之後，我都感到身心愉悅，這樣的感覺讓我更加愛上運動。

Q3: Have you celebrated anything recently? How?

Yes, I recently celebrated my birthday with my closest friends, and it was truly heartwarming. We gathered at my favorite cozy cafe, surrounded by laughter and joy. Sharing stories, eating delicious cake, and feeling grateful for the bonds we share made it a celebration to remember.

是的，最近我和我最親密的朋友一起慶祝了我的生日，真的很溫馨。我們聚集在我最喜歡的舒適咖啡廳，被笑聲和快樂所包圍。分享故事、吃美味的蛋糕，感恩我們之間的情誼，使這次慶祝成為一個難忘的時刻。

跨主題的演練模式格外適合功能性單詞與句型。

以 despite 為例：

Q1: Have you ever called customer services and complained?

Yes, a few times. Despite their initial attempts to resolve the issue, I often found the process frustrating and time-consuming. However, in the end, most of my concerns were addressed satisfactorily.

是的，有幾次。儘管他們一開始試圖解決問題，但我經常覺得過程令人沮喪且耗時。然而，最終我的大部分問題都得到了滿意的解決。

與Q1完全不同主題的Q2: Does your city have a safe environment for bike riders?

Yes, my city generally provides safe bike lanes and cycling-friendly infrastructure despite occasional challenges like heavy traffic in certain areas. Overall, it’s a great place for cyclists.

是的，我的城市通常提供安全的單車道和友善的騎車基礎設施，儘管偶爾會遇到像某些區域繁忙交通這樣的挑戰。整體而言，這是一個非常適合騎單車的地方。

與Q1, Q2完全不同主題的Q3: When was the last time you went shopping?

My most recent shopping trip was just last weekend. Despite the limited parking, crowded stores, and long checkout lines, I managed to find everything I needed, and I even found some great deals!

我最近一次的購物是在上週末。儘管停車位有限、商店擁擠、排隊結帳的隊伍很長，我還是買到了所有需要的東西，我甚至找到了一些很棒的優惠！
