台灣考生 Part 1 最常見問題——回答太短。"Do you like coffee?" → "Yes, I do." 考官等你延伸，你卻停了。尷尬 3 秒。Band 5。
修正工具：三步延伸公式。套進去，保證 3 句以上。
三步公式
Step 1 — Answer (直接回答)
Step 2 — Reason (為什麼 / 什麼時候 / 怎麼)
Step 3 — Example (具體的人、事、物、時間)時長：每步約 5-8 秒，合起來約 15-25 秒。剛好 Part 1 理想時長。
五組範例
題目 1 — "Do you like coffee?"
Step 1: Yeah, I'm actually a bit obsessed with coffee. Step 2: Mostly because it became part of my morning routine during university — it's how I wake up properly. Step 3: These days I'll usually have a flat white at the café near my office, and I've even started making pour-over at home on weekends.
題目 2 — "Do you read books?"
Step 1: Honestly, not as much as I'd like to. Step 2: Work takes up most of my energy, and by evening I'd rather watch something on Netflix than concentrate on a book. Step 3: That said, I did finish one on a flight to Tokyo last year — a detective novel, and I couldn't put it down.
題目 3 — "Do you prefer online shopping or physical stores?"
Step 1: For most things, online — without question. Step 2: It's just faster and the prices are usually better, especially on platforms like Shopee or Momo here in Taiwan. Step 3: But for clothes I still prefer physical stores — I tried ordering shoes online last month and had to return two out of three pairs.
題目 4 — "Do you like your neighbourhood?"
Step 1: Yeah, I do — I've been living in Da'an for about four years now. Step 2: What makes it work is the balance of convenience and quietness; everything you need is a short walk away but it doesn't feel chaotic. Step 3: There's a small park right behind my building where I go running most mornings, and a night market just two MRT stops away when I fancy something different.
題目 5 — "Have you travelled abroad recently?"
Step 1: Yes — I went to Japan last autumn. Step 2: It was my first time outside Taiwan since 2019, so I was pretty excited. Step 3: I spent about a week in Kyoto, mostly visiting temples and eating my way through the small restaurants near my guesthouse. The highlight was definitely a Kaiseki dinner my friend treated me to.
如果真的沒 example 怎麼辦
編一個。IELTS 不查證。或用 hypothetical：
- If I had more time, I'd probably...
- Honestly, the kind of book I'd pick up would be...
- I imagine in another life I'd be someone who...
常見錯誤
錯誤 1 — Step 3 換成重複 Step 1
"Yes, I like coffee. It wakes me up. And I drink coffee every day." — Step 3 只是把 Step 1 換句話。沒進度。
錯誤 2 — 過度延伸到 60 秒
Part 1 不是 Part 2。20-25 秒剛好。超過 30 秒考官會打斷你，那印象更差。
錯誤 3 — Step 2 講太籠統
"Because it's good." "Because I like it." — 這不是 reason。真正的 reason 是場景、情境、時間脈絡。
Try this
挑 10 個 Part 1 題目，每題用三步公式錄 20 秒。回放時確認：
- 每步都在嗎？
- Step 3 是不是具體（人、地、時、物）？
- 總時長 15-25 秒？
10 題連續做完，公式就進肌肉記憶了。
台灣考生的典型陷阱
台灣考生常卡在「沒想法 = 沒答案」。不是的。就算是討厭的題目你也可以講：
"Honestly, I'm not a big fan of shopping — I find it draining. I'd rather spend my free time somewhere quiet. In fact, I only went shopping twice last month, and both times I came home empty-handed."
「我不喜歡」也能填滿三步。
一句話
三步公式不是 template，是對話的自然節奏。Native speaker 回答問題本來就長這樣。
