Flyers 口試最難的一題是 Part 2 — 4 格圖片故事。

考官給你四張連環圖，要你用自己的話講這個故事。不是描述圖——是講故事。兩件事完全不同。

YP 教過的學生裡，Part 2 是口試 5 分 shield 跟 3 分 shield 的分水嶺。

近五年的 6 種故事模式

根據 YP 整理的 2020-2024 官方樣題跟學生回報，Flyers Part 2 的故事反覆出現 6 個情境：

模式 1：遺失物失而復得（Lost Item Found）

典型：孩子把玩具 / 書包 / 寵物弄丟 → 找了很多地方 → 最後在意想不到的地方找到。

開頭句：

  • One sunny morning, Tom was playing in the garden.
  • Last Saturday, Emma couldn't find her favourite teddy bear.
  • Yesterday, a little boy lost his new kite.

必備連接詞：first, then, suddenly, in the end

模式 2：意外的幫助（Unexpected Help）

典型：有人遇到困難（跌倒、提不動東西、害怕） → 陌生人或動物出現幫忙 → 感謝結局。

開頭句：

  • It was raining heavily when an old lady dropped her shopping bags.
  • One morning, a boy fell off his bike in the park.
  • Last weekend, Sophie's cat was stuck in a tree.

必備連接詞：fortunately, thankfully, at that moment, afterwards

模式 3：嘗試新食物（Trying New Food）

典型：主角看到沒吃過的食物 → 猶豫或害怕 → 嘗試 → 驚喜或驚嚇結局。

開頭句：

  • Max's family went to a restaurant for the first time.
  • One evening, Grandma cooked a new dish.
  • Ben saw a strange fruit at the market.

必備連接詞：at first, however, in the end, to his surprise

模式 4：寵物歷險（Pet Adventure）

典型：寵物跑走 / 闖禍 / 迷路 → 家人找 → 找到後一件有趣的事。

開頭句：

  • One day, Lucy's puppy ran out of the garden gate.
  • Daniel's rabbit escaped from its cage.
  • The cat was chasing a butterfly around the garden.

必備連接詞：meanwhile, soon after, eventually, in the end

模式 5：天氣意外（Weather Surprise）

典型：出門時天氣很好 → 突然變天 → 解決方法 → 回家。

開頭句：

  • It was a beautiful Saturday, perfect for a picnic.
  • The family decided to go to the beach.
  • Olivia was walking to school when the sky turned dark.

必備連接詞：suddenly, just then, luckily, after that

模式 6：交新朋友（Making a New Friend）

典型：主角孤單 / 害羞 → 遇到另一個孩子 → 一起做一件事 → 成為朋友。

開頭句：

  • On his first day at the new school, Jake didn't know anyone.
  • Lily was sitting alone at the playground.
  • A new boy moved in next door last Tuesday.

必備連接詞：after a while, together, from then on, by the end of the day

敘述聲 vs 角色聲——Flyers 要的是敘述聲

Flyers Part 2 rewards the narrator voice, not the character voice.

  • Character voice (lower score): "Oh no! My teddy is gone! Where is it?"
  • Narrator voice (higher score): "Emma realised her teddy bear was missing and started to look everywhere for it."

敘述聲是站在外面講故事的聲音——第三人稱、過去式、有結構。 角色聲是直接把圖裡人物的台詞念出來。

Flyers 要的是敘述聲。角色聲會讓考官覺得孩子「只是在看圖，不是在講故事」。

差別在哪？過去式。敘述聲全部過去式（Emma was, he went, they found），角色聲會滑成現在式（I am, he is）。

這是 Flyers 口試 shield 從 3 跳到 5 的關鍵開關。

萬用五句模板（適用任何圖片）

不管拿到哪種故事，這五句的結構都能套用：

1. Setting:     One [day/morning/weekend], [main character] was [doing X].
2. Problem:     Suddenly, [something happened] / [a problem appeared].
3. Response:    [Character] tried to [action], but [obstacle].
4. Climax:      Then, [key moment / help / discovery].
5. Resolution:  In the end, [character] [felt / learned / did something].

示範（模式 3：嘗試新食物）：

One evening, Ben was eating dinner with his family at a new restaurant. Suddenly, the waiter brought a strange-looking fish dish to the table. Ben tried to refuse it, but his dad said "just one bite." Then, Ben took a small taste and his eyes grew wide. In the end, he ate the whole plate and asked for more.

45 個字——剛好是 Flyers Part 2 期待的長度。五個句子、全部過去式、有 suddenly / in the end 這種信號詞。

訓練孩子的三週計畫

| 週 | 做什麼 | |----|-----------------------------------------------| | 1 | 挑 3 個模式 → 熟練每個模式的開頭句 | | 2 | 練五句模板套到每個模式上 → 錄音回聽 | | 3 | 爸媽隨機出題（拿四格漫畫 / 繪本）→ 2 分鐘內講完 |

自我評分關鍵：孩子講完一個故事後問三個問題：

  1. 有沒有過去式全場？
  2. 有沒有用到 suddenly 或 in the end？
  3. 有沒有結局（不是只有「然後...」就結束）？

三個都有 → Flyers shield 4-5 漏一個 → shield 3 漏兩個以上 → 再練

家裡可以看的「敘述聲」英文內容

Flyers 程度的敘述聲，最好的來源是有旁白的英文動畫（不是全對話的卡通）：

  • Charlie and Lola（BBC）——有 Charlie 的旁白，完美敘述聲
  • The Magic Key（Oxford Reading Tree 改編）——典型英式敘述
  • Horrid Henry 的章節書 audio——第三人稱過去式密集

避開：Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol——都是角色對話，不是敘述聲。

接下來推薦：Flyers 寫作 Part 7 故事結構——Writing 也是個故事題，結構相同但技能不同。
