Travel 題組的 Band 7+ 秘訣只有一句話：永遠放一個具體故事。大多數考生失分是因為講得太概括——"I love travel. I've been to many countries. It's very exciting." 這段話誰都能講，不能證明你語言能力。
記住一個原則：一題一故事。

「永遠放一個具體故事」的結構
Layer 1 短答：回答題目 + 一個大方向
Layer 2 具體化：具體國家 / 城市 / 年份
Layer 3 故事片段：一個 30 秒能講完的小插曲題目："Do you like travelling?"
Weak (Band 5 — 太概括): Yes, I love travelling. I've been to many places. It makes me happy.
Band 7+（放故事）: Absolutely — it's probably my favourite thing to spend money on. The best trip I've taken recently was a two-week loop around northern Vietnam last September. I remember one afternoon in Sapa where we got completely lost on a rice-terrace trail, ended up drinking tea in a farmer's kitchen, and couldn't communicate except through pointing and laughing. That kind of accidental moment is why I travel.
這個答案 45 秒，完整可信。考官瞬間 Band 7+ 起跳。關鍵是 "I remember one afternoon in Sapa..." 這個具體錨點。
題目："Do you prefer domestic or international travel?"
Band 7+: Honestly I've come round to loving both, but for different reasons. Domestic trips are what I default to when I just need a break — Taiwan has everything packed into a small island, so I can be in the mountains by breakfast. International travel is the opposite; it's for when I want that total disorientation. My last big trip was to Kyoto in spring — walking through the Philosopher's Path during cherry blossom season was genuinely one of those moments that justifies the cost of the plane ticket.
6 個必備片語
| 片語 | 中文 | 使用範例 | |------|------|---------| | off the beaten track | 遠離觀光客路線 | We stayed somewhere off the beaten track. | | wanderlust | 旅遊熱情 | I've had wanderlust since I was a kid. | | breathtaking | 壯觀的 | The views were absolutely breathtaking. | | bucket list | 人生清單 | Patagonia has been on my bucket list for years. | | get around | 走動、移動 | It's easy to get around by train. | | hop on a train | 跳上火車 | We hopped on a local train to the coast. |
整合範例：
I've had wanderlust as long as I can remember, so my bucket list is basically endless. My ideal trip is somewhere off the beaten track — breathtaking scenery, a place where you can get around easily by local transport, where you can just hop on a train and see where it takes you. That's the kind of trip I plan for now.
「Where would you like to go?」的高分答法
這題很常見。不要答 "I want to go to America" 就結束——太平淡。
Band 7+: Patagonia's been on my bucket list for probably five years now. It's at the southern tip of South America, and from everything I've seen, it's the closest thing to pure wilderness I could actually reach. Giant glaciers, turquoise lakes, hiking for days without seeing anyone — that kind of thing. Realistically it's an expensive trip, so I'm slowly saving up, but I'd like to make it happen before I turn 30.
升級點：
- 具體地名 + 地理說明
- 具體景觀（glaciers, turquoise lakes）
- 現實考量（expensive, saving up）
- 時間目標（before I turn 30）
常踩的陷阱
陷阱 1：國家清單背誦
"I've been to Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, the US..." — 唸完停。這是資訊，不是溝通。
修正：選一個國家講細節。"Out of everywhere I've been, Japan is probably where I've returned to most — four times now, and every visit I find another layer."
陷阱 2：都用現在簡單式
"I go to Japan. I see temple. I eat sushi." — 時態全錯。旅遊事件是過去。
修正："When I went to Japan last spring, I spent a whole afternoon wandering through the temples in Kyoto."（過去式 + 過去進行式）
陷阱 3：答題太短
"Yes I like travel. I go to Japan." — 兩句結束。Band 5。
修正：每題至少 3 句，延伸到 4-5 句更好。
