§课文原文 Passage
1Good morning, everyone. Today I would like to talk about a small habit that changed my life: keeping a daily journal. My topic sounds ordinary, but I promise the results are not. I have divided my talk into three parts: how I started, what changed, and my advice for you.
2Let me begin with how it started. After failing my first S5 exam, I felt lost and too embarrassed to tell anyone. That night I started writing three sentences a day — just three. At first, the entries were pure complaints: the test, the teacher, the weather. But slowly, writing helped me see patterns in my emotions and study habits. I noticed that I always felt anxious on Sunday nights and always lost focus after two hours of phone scrolling. Naming a problem, I discovered, is halfway to solving it.
3The changes came quietly. Whenever stress built up before exams, the journal became my private counsellor, and writing down my worries emptied them from my head onto the page. Six months later, I was calmer, more focused and more grateful. My grades improved, but more importantly, so did my sleep and my temper. The body of my story is simple: a habit smaller than brushing your teeth rebuilt my confidence.
4In conclusion, my advice is simple: start tonight, write only three sentences, and be honest, because the journal is the one listener that never judges. Keep it fluent and unforced, because a bad sentence written daily beats a perfect page written never. A tiny habit, kept daily, can carry you further than a big plan kept never. Thank you for listening.

3逐步讲解 Steps
- 开场开场的考点是个人短讲的开首要在十秒之内完成问候、悬念与结构三件事。方法是第一句问候（good morning, everyone）；第二句制造反差悬念：今日想说一个改变了我的生命的小习惯，题目平凡而效果不平凡（sounds ordinary, but the results are not）；第三句报结构地图：how I started、what changed、my advice。以本课范文为例，开场三句之后，听众已知道全篇路线。易错位在于考生开场即讲故事细节，无悬念无地图；平凡的题目更要靠反差开场抓住考官。
- 主体主体的考点是主体两至三点，每点一段，起点与转变都要具体。方法是起点写明时间与动作：中五第一次考试不合格的那个晚上开始，每日写三句日志，习惯小到不可能失败；转变要有证据：发现每逢星期日晚上焦虑、滑手机两小时后失焦的规律。以本课范文为例，具体的夜晚与每日三句的细节令习惯可信。易错位在于考生写从此变好一类空泛叙述，没有时间没有细节；具体的起点与有证据的转变，是短讲说服力的全部来源。
- 结尾结尾的考点是结尾要交付可执行的建议，并以对比金句收结。方法是把建议压成三句短指令：今晚就开始（start tonight）、只写三句（write only three sentences）、要诚实（be honest）；再加一句对比金句升华：a bad sentence written daily beats a perfect page written never；最后 thank you for listening 收结。以本课范文为例，三个指令加一句金句结束，听众带得住具体行动。易错位在于考生结尾说希望大家也试试便完场，没有动作没有金句；短讲的最后十秒是考官记忆最深的位置，务必交付清晰的行动呼吁。
- 技巧技巧的考点是短讲评分包括表达技巧，三项基本功要平日练成。方法是眼神接触：轮流望向各位考官，不要只盯著一人；流畅：熟记要点而非逐字背稿，避免背到一半卡住；语速：慢而清楚，适当停顿；两分钟很短，内容宁少勿乱。以本课为例，练习时对著镜子检查眼神与停顿，录音回听检查语速。易错位在于考生背稿太死，一忘词便全场沉默；或者越说越快，字音含糊。熟练的要点式记忆配合慢而稳的语速，才是稳妥的表达。
- 报结构报结构的考点是开首报结构既给听众地图，亦给自己路径感。方法是报完题目后立刻说 I have divided my talk into three parts，顺序列出三部分的名称；之后每说完一部分，听众自然知道进度，自己也不易越说越乱。以本课范文为例，开场即报 how I started、what changed、my advice 三部分。易错位在于考生怕报结构浪费时间，听众跟不住，自己紧张时也容易迷路；十秒钟的地图，换来全篇的清晰与镇定，是短讲最便宜的保险。
- 故事小节故事的考点是故事要有小节与转折，节奏由有趣到有用自然推进。方法是初段写真实而不完美的细节：头几天的日志是纯粹的投诉（pure complaints: the test, the teacher, the weather）；中段写转折：慢慢从文字之中看见情绪与作息的规律；由自嘲到发现，节奏自然。以本课范文为例，由纯投诉写到发现星期日焦虑的规律，读来有趣又可信。易错位在于考生只说变好之后的结果，过程一片空白；只说变好了没有人会相信，细节与转折才是故事的血肉。
- 计时练习计时的考点是短讲长度以计时练习校准，超时的处理方法是删减而不是加速。方法是练习必定计时：对著录音说一次，量出实际长度；两分钟说不尽就删内容，宁可一点说得深，不要三点都草草带过；语速保持稳定，不以加速迁就内容。以本课为例，把三点删成两点之后重练，说完仍有余裕收结。易错位在于考生超时后加快语速，字音含糊、收结仓卒，技巧分全失；计时练习的目的就是让删减发生在考场之前。
5例题示范 Example
范文短讲《每日写日志》两分钟讲完一个习惯怎样改变人生。拆解它的结构、故事节奏和金句收结。
- 第一步：开场设悬念：「a small habit that changed my life」＋「sounds ordinary, but the results are not」——平凡题目不平凡讲法。
- 第二步：报结构：how I started → what changed → my advice，听众一开始就有地图。
- 第三步：故事起点具体：S5 第一次考试不合格那晚开始，每日三句——小到不可能失败。
- 第四步：转变有证据：发现星期日晚上焦虑、滑手机两小时失焦的规律；日志变「private counsellor」，成绩、睡眠、脾气都改善。
- 第五步：三句建议（今晚开始、只写三句、要诚实）＋对比金句：「a bad sentence written daily beats a perfect page written never」。
- 答案：这篇两分钟短讲是结构示范。开场用反差制造期待：「平凡题目，不平凡结果」，再按序报出三部分结构。故事起点具体：S5 首次考试不合格那晚，开始每日写三句——习惯小到不可能失败，是说服力关键。转变有观察证据：发现星期日晚上固定焦虑、滑手机两小时后失焦，带出「Naming a problem is halfway to solving it」；日志变「private counsellor」，将忧虑由脑袋搬到纸上。结果层层递进：成绩之外，睡眠和脾气都改善。结尾三句建议（今晚开始、只写三句、要诚实）加对比金句——「a bad sentence written daily beats a perfect page written never」——听众带着行动离场。
