§课文原文 Passage
1Examiner: Thank you for your introduction, Chloe. Now I have some follow-up questions. You said you enjoy reading. Can you expand on that a little, so that we can know more about your reading habits? Chloe: Yes, of course. I mainly read science fiction because it helps me imagine what the future may look like, and I usually read for half an hour before I sleep.
2Examiner: What is the reason you chose science fiction rather than other kinds of books? Chloe: These stories connect with what I learn in Physics, so reading always feels relevant to my daily life. For instance, I recently read about space elevators, and a week later our teacher explained the same idea in class. Examiner: Can you give us an example of a book that impressed you? Chloe: Certainly. Last month I read a novel about a city where robots look after the elderly, and it made me think about Hong Kong's ageing population.
3Examiner: Very good. Finally, could you tell us briefly how reading has changed you? Chloe: To answer briefly, reading has widened my vocabulary and made me a more confident speaker in English lessons. Examiner: One last question — do you think students today read too little, and why? Chloe: I am afraid I do, mainly because short videos are easier and shorter. But a novel waits patiently, and I believe anyone can fall in love with it once they find the right book. Thank you for your questions.

3逐步讲解 Steps
- 直接答追问第一句就正面回应。举个例：Chloe 说 I mainly read science fiction——不兜圈、不重复问题，第一句已经是答案。
- 延伸答完就延伸：because 讲原因 + For instance 举例。举个例：These stories connect with what I learn in Physics… For instance, I recently read about space elevators, and a week later our teacher explained the same idea in class。
- 时间每个答案 20 至 30 秒就够。举个例：被问大范围问题时，Chloe 用 To answer briefly 收窄——讲两三句重点好过讲一大堆废话。
- 技巧不要只有讲 yes/no。举个例：被问 Do students read too little? Chloe 不是只有答 Yes，而是 I am afraid I do, mainly because short videos are easier and shorter——立场 + 理由。
- 例子贴身例子越贴身越好。举个例：a novel about a city where robots look after the elderly… it made me think about Hong Kong's ageing population——书本连去社会议题，显示思考深度。
- 收结金句答案可以用金句收结。举个例：But a novel waits patiently, and I believe anyone can fall in love with it once they find the right book——一句图像化句子，考官一定记得你。
- 答题公式追问答题公式复习：直接答 → because 原因 → For instance 例子 →（可选）金句收结——每答 20 至 30 秒，第一句永远正面回应。
5例题示范 Example
Chloe 在追问环节示范了「直接答 → 原因 → 例子」的答题公式。拆解她四条问题的答法，看看哪里值得学。
- 第一步：直接答先：「I mainly read science fiction」——第一句就正面回应，不兜圈，接著 because 讲原因再加习惯小节（睡前读半小时）。
- 第二步：例子要具体兼贴身：太空电梯的例子连回 Physics 课堂，答案即刻有说服力。
- 第三步：机械人照顾老人的小说例子再推远些——联想到香港人口老化，显示思考深度。
- 第四步：被问「阅读怎样改变你」，用「To answer briefly」收窄范围——词汇增加、英文堂发言更有自信。
- 第五步：最后一条有立场有转折：「I am afraid I do」承认学生读得少，讲理由（短片更容易看），再用「But a novel waits patiently」金句收结。
- 答案：Chloe 的答题完整示范「直接答＋原因＋例子」公式。第一条立即答「I mainly read science fiction」，接著 because 讲原因，还补充阅读习惯；第二条用「For instance」举太空电梯例子，并和 Physics 课堂挂钩；第三条举机械人照顾老人的小说，联想到香港人口老化，有思考深度；第四条用「To answer briefly」控制长度；最后一条先讲立场（I am afraid I do），再讲理由（短片更易入口），用「a novel waits patiently」金句收尾。每答约 20 至 30 秒，从不敷衍。
