280 字 Band 7+ 完整範文
Cue card: Describe a teacher who influenced you
¹ I'd like to talk about my high school English teacher, Mrs Chen, who taught me for three years and probably had more influence on my life than any other teacher I've had. ² She was in her late forties when I met her — small, softly spoken, but with this very direct way of looking at you when you spoke, as if she was actually listening rather than just waiting to talk.
³ The thing that made her different was that she treated us like adults. ⁴ Instead of drilling grammar exercises, she'd bring in articles from The Guardian or short stories by Raymond Carver, and she'd genuinely ask what we thought — not in a test-the-students way, but because she seemed curious. ⁵ One specific lesson stands out: I was 17, I'd written what I thought was a decent essay on environmental policy, and she handed it back with one line at the bottom: "You've described the problem well — now what do YOU actually think?" ⁶ I remember sitting with that for days. It was the first time an adult had suggested my opinion was worth anything.
⁷ Looking back, what she really taught me wasn't English — it was how to form an opinion and defend it with evidence. ⁸ I use that skill every single day: in meetings at work, in how I read the news, in the arguments I'm willing to have with my family over dinner.
⁹ I haven't seen Mrs Chen in almost ten years now. ¹⁰ She's retired and probably doesn't remember me specifically. ¹¹ But every time I sit down to write something I actually care about, I can still hear her voice saying "Now what do YOU actually think?" — and that's why she's the person I'd pick if I could only name one teacher who shaped who I am.
這篇範文怎麼符合 POWER 框架
(如果你還沒看過 Part 2 POWER 框架,先讀它再回來。)
- Pick — 句 1 直接鎖定一個具體對象(Mrs Chen),不在 "my mother or maybe my teacher" 之間猶豫。
- Open — 句 2 畫面化的描述(外表、氣質),讓考官立刻看到人。
- Why(核心理由)— 句 3-4:她把我們當成人看。
- Event(具體事件)— 句 5-6:那一句批改評語。具體到 17 歲、The Guardian、一句話。
- Reflect(收尾反思)— 句 7-11:影響延續至今 + 首尾呼應(再次引用那句話)。
詞彙分析
- Academic / precise: softly spoken, genuinely curious, defend with evidence, shaped who I am
- Collocations: had more influence on, treated us like adults, handed it back, form an opinion
- Idiomatic: she was actually listening rather than just waiting to talk, stands out, I can still hear her voice
- Flow connectives: Instead of, Looking back, But every time
