聽 100 個 5.5 考生答 Part 3——99 個每題都這樣開口：
I think... I think people should... I think it's important... I think yes...
考官三題之內就抓到模式，心裡的分數已經定型。
為什麼 I think 是負分
不是說它錯——它沒錯，但太單調。Lexical Resource 評分標準明確要求：「flexibility」（靈活性）。每題都用同一個句首，flexibility 直接零分。
5 個 6.5+ 替代說法
按確定性強弱排序：
強烈確定：I'm convinced that... / There's no doubt that...
一般觀點：In my view... / From my perspective... / I'd say...
個人經驗：Speaking from my own experience... / In my case...
有點不確定：I tend to think that... / I'm inclined to believe...
保留意見：It depends, but generally... / I suppose...
實戰示範
題目：Do you think children should learn a second language at school?
弱版：
I think yes. I think it's good for their brain. And I think they can travel later.
強版：
I'd say definitely yes. From my perspective, early exposure helps the brain develop more flexibly, and speaking from my own experience, I picked up English much faster as a child than my parents did as adults.
同一個觀點，句首用了三種不同說法——Lexical Resource 從 5.5 直接跳 7.0。
試試看
錄一段你自己答 Part 3 三題——數一下用了幾次 I think。超過 3 次就太多。下次練習刻意限制：每題開口的句首不能重複。一週後你的口說會像換了個人。
