KET Writing Part 7 的題目長這樣:
Your English friend Sam wants to visit you next month. Write an email to Sam. - thank him for the message - tell him when he can come - suggest something to do together Write 25 words or more.
滿分 5 分。劍橋的閱卷員只看一件事:三個 bullet 有沒有都回答到。沒有——每漏一個扣 1.5 分。
所以結構永遠是:3 句話、回答 3 個 bullet、每句 8-12 個字。
3-2-3 套用結構
我叫它 3-2-3:3 句正文、2 個招呼(開頭 + 結尾)、3 個 bullet 各一句。
Hi Sam, ← 開頭招呼
Thanks for your message! ← bullet 1
You can come on Saturday 5th. ← bullet 2
Let's go to the night market together. ← bullet 3
See you soon, ← 結尾招呼
Alex
字數:28 字(符合 25+)。全部 3 個 bullet 都回答到。這封 email 在真實 KET 考試會拿 4-5 分。
三個實考題目 × 三個範文
題目 A:拒絕邀請
Your friend Emma invited you to her party. Write an email to Emma. - say sorry you can't come - explain why - suggest meeting another day
Range answer:
Hi Emma,
I'm really sorry I can't come to your party. I have a family dinner on Saturday. Can we meet next Sunday for ice cream?
Love, Mia
字數:27。三個 bullet 都命中。
題目 B:描述經驗
Your English teacher asked about your weekend. Write an email. - say where you went - say who you went with - tell her what you enjoyed
Range answer:
Dear Miss Lee,
I went to Taipei Zoo on Sunday. My mum and little brother came with me. I really enjoyed watching the pandas eat bamboo!
From, Jason
字數:29。
題目 C:分享計畫
Your pen friend asked about your summer. Write an email. - say what you will do - say where you will go - ask about his summer
Range answer:
Hi Tom,
This summer I will join an English camp. I'm going to Kenting beach with my cousins. What are your plans for July?
Best, Kevin
字數:26。注意最後一個 bullet 要的是「問」——所以要寫成問句,不然會扣分。
三個常見失分點
1. 寫太多
「字數多不是加分嗎?」
不是。KET Part 7 的字數要求是 25 以上,但超過 60 字就開始扣內容凌亂分。寫 35-45 最安全。
2. 忘記回答其中一個 bullet
考場壓力大,孩子常常寫太嗨就忘了。解法:在題目紙上把三個 bullet 各畫一個框框,寫完一個打勾。三個都打勾才開始寫 "See you soon"。
3. 用中文句型翻譯
台灣學生常寫:I am very sorry to can't come...
正確:I'm really sorry I can't come.
中文「很抱歉不能來」的句型不能直譯成英文。KET 喜歡自然短句,不是複雜子句。
考前兩週怎麼練
- 每天一題(5 分鐘寫、5 分鐘對自己批改)
- 用上面的 3-2-3 結構
- 字數控制在 28-40
- 一週後請老師批改 3 篇——看是不是真的三個 bullet 都有到
劍橋的 KET 官方題本 A2 Key for Schools Trainer 2 附錄有 50 個 Part 7 題目,練完綽綽有餘。
