§課文原文 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逐步講解 Steps
- 直接答追問第一句就正面回應。舉個例：Chloe 說 I mainly read science fiction——不兜圈、不重複問題，第一句已經是答案。
- 延伸答完就延伸：because 講原因 + For instance 舉例。舉個例：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。
- 時間每個答案 20 至 30 秒就夠。舉個例：被問大範圍問題時，Chloe 用 To answer briefly 收窄——講兩三句重點好過講一大堆廢話。
- 技巧不要只有講 yes/no。舉個例：被問 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——立場 + 理由。
- 例子貼身例子越貼身越好。舉個例：a novel about a city where robots look after the elderly… it made me think about Hong Kong's ageing population——書本連去社會議題，顯示思考深度。
- 收結金句答案可以用金句收結。舉個例：But a novel waits patiently, and I believe anyone can fall in love with it once they find the right book——一句圖像化句子，考官一定記得你。
- 答題公式追問答題公式複習：直接答 → because 原因 → For instance 例子 →（可選）金句收結——每答 20 至 30 秒，第一句永遠正面回應。
5例題示範 Example
Chloe 在追問環節示範了「直接答 → 原因 → 例子」的答題公式。拆解她四條問題的答法，看看哪裡值得學。
- 第一步：直接答先：「I mainly read science fiction」——第一句就正面回應，不兜圈，接著 because 講原因再加習慣小節（睡前讀半小時）。
- 第二步：例子要具體兼貼身：太空電梯的例子連回 Physics 課堂，答案即刻有說服力。
- 第三步：機械人照顧老人的小說例子再推遠些——聯想到香港人口老化，顯示思考深度。
- 第四步：被問「閱讀怎樣改變你」，用「To answer briefly」收窄範圍——詞彙增加、英文堂發言更有自信。
- 第五步：最後一條有立場有轉折：「I am afraid I do」承認學生讀得少，講理由（短片更容易看），再用「But a novel waits patiently」金句收結。
- 答案：Chloe 的答題完整示範「直接答＋原因＋例子」公式。第一條立即答「I mainly read science fiction」，接著 because 講原因，還補充閱讀習慣；第二條用「For instance」舉太空電梯例子，並和 Physics 課堂掛鈎；第三條舉機械人照顧老人的小說，聯想到香港人口老化，有思考深度；第四條用「To answer briefly」控制長度；最後一條先講立場（I am afraid I do），再講理由（短片更易入口），用「a novel waits patiently」金句收尾。每答約 20 至 30 秒，從不敷衍。
