DSE English Paper 4：Group discussion開頭
1.開場白 | Let’s get started. |
2.解釋討論目的 | We’re going to prepare a handbook of advice for parents on how to bring up their children. Today, we’re here to discuss what to include in the handbook. |
3.背景介紹 | As we all know, many parents and children ignore family relationships and parents spend little time talking to their children. A lot of family problems may arise. Well, there are a lot of family problems we can include in the handbook. Let’s discuss them first. |
4.表達觀點 | Personally, I think that nowadays, many parents have to work long hours, for example, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. As a result, they overlook their children. Therefore, we need to point out that the lack of communication will cause a lot of family problems. |
5.問其他考生意見 | What do you think? |
DSE speaking技巧：
回應原則
1.簡單回應 | You are right. |
2.歸納對方觀點 | The lack of communication is common in Hong Kong and this leads to a lack of mutual understanding or even conflicts between family members. |
3.表達觀點 | However, I think that the quality of communication is more important than quantity. Even if they have opportunities to communicate with their children, they don’t know how to do it effectively. It is no use spending hours questioning their children on their exam results or things they don’t want to talk about. Parents should learn to share the children’s feelings and other interesting topics. |
4.問其他考生意見 | Do you agree? |

口試 試題範例
(2001 CE Paper 4 Set 12.1)
Your group wants to organize a karaoke evening for your school. You are now planning the event.
|
發言5大方向
A: | I suggest going to karaoke lounges (提議) like Neway (例子) because there is good and advanced audio equipment. (原因) |
B: | Yes, that’s a great point (回應) and we can sing many new songs there. (原因) |
C: | I agree that the audio system is good and new songs are available there (回應), but I think that karaoke lounges are not large enough for us to hold this event. (論點). I think the school hall may be a better choice for this event. (新提議). The PA system is not bad in the hall, right? (原因) |
A: | Shall we invite some pop singers (提議) like Leo Ku or Kay Tse (例子) to come because they are very popular in Hong Kong? (原因) I believe that if they come to join us, many teachers and students will come to our karaoke evening. (假設推論) |
DSE Speaking Group discussion 特定技巧
小組討論技巧 1：轉topic
你可能會問？
轉topic，人人都識
那麼有什麼可教？
但試問你覺得轉topic，自己轉得夠不夠自然？
夠不夠有順暢？
還是，每次都是臨場發揮？
一下提供你兩大step！
Step 1: 小總結
So far, we have discussed that…
Step 2: 扮好人
Since we are running out of time, is there anything to add before we add to the next point?
Great! Let’s move on to the next point!
小組討論技巧 2：執雞法
DSE English Paper 4 題目 除了提供你一篇文章以及4個bullet points外，題目通常都會提及是次討論的東西。
例如：leaflet？report？proposal？
在同學們拋出唔同的idea時，你便能執雞。
例如：
- We have talked about …….
- So, we have made some good points about noun
- Are we going to mention/include all in our letter?
小組討論技巧 3：據為己有
當大家遇到一些表達能力欠佳的考生，與其讓他把時間浪費，不如主動出擊！
例如：
A: I think learning English is great! It is so fun! Just like 10 years ago! When I was 5 years old, …… When I was 6 years old, ……. When I was 10 years old…. (2046 years later)…….
- May I add something here?
