描述一次你与他人合作完成某件事的经历
说出你做了什么。从头到尾都用“we”的回答，考官什么也听不出来。
话题卡
Describe a time you worked with other people to achieve something.
You should say
- what you were working on
- who you worked with
- what your part was
- and explain how the group succeeded
准备1分钟 · 最多说2分钟
如何说满两分钟
是四个节拍，不是四个答案。卡片上的提示只是脚手架——一段自然流过这些提示的讲述，比四个互不相连的回答得分更高。
- 目标、团队，以及截止日期或限制条件。
- 工作是怎么分配的，你具体负责哪一部分。
- 摩擦——分歧、缺席的成员、计划的改变。
- 结果如何，以及团队在哪些方面比你一个人做得更好。
这张卡适合用的词汇
词汇丰富度占你分数的四分之一，而7分的标准明确允许偶尔用错词——一味求稳、只用简单词汇，正是很多人卡在6分的原因。
pull our weight
用于每个人都公平出力
play to our strengths
用于合理分工
see eye to eye
通常用否定形式，描述分歧
take the lead on
用于你具体负责的部分
come together
用于各部分终于拼合起来的时刻
we'd never have managed it individually
自然的收尾点
这张卡的陷阱
整个回答都用“we”。
考官给你打分，而不是给团队。至少三分之一的回答应该用“I”——你负责什么、你做了什么决定。
一个8分回答，以及它为什么有效
读它是为了看清其中的技巧，而不是背下这些话。考官每个工作日都会听到背诵的答案，这会体现在你的流利度分数上——背诵者的停顿方式和真正在思考的人完全不同。下面的细节都是虚构的，你的回答应该讲你自己的故事。
The example I'd give is a group project in my final year of university, which was a genuinely difficult experience and taught me more than most of the course. There were five of us and the work was badly distributed almost from the start — two people did a great deal, one did nothing, and the remaining two, including me, did a moderate amount while resenting the person doing nothing. Nobody said anything for about six weeks, which is the part I'd change. What eventually happened is that one of the harder-working two lost her temper in a meeting, said what everyone had been thinking, and it was uncomfortable and enormously helpful. The work got redistributed within a day. What I took from it is that the cost of the awkward conversation is almost always lower than the cost of the resentment it prevents. I'm now the person who raises it early, which I don't especially enjoy, but the alternative is six weeks of quietly seething and a worse result.拿到这个分数的关键
- “The cost of the awkward conversation is almost always lower than the cost of the resentment”是一个干净利落、可迁移的结论。
- 它诚实地把说话者放在表现平平的成员之中，而不是塑造成英雄，这可信得多。
- “Quietly seething”和“which I don't especially enjoy”地道而含蓄，显示出真正的流利。
第三部分接下来会问什么
第三部分和你的长篇独白有松散的联系，但问题会变得抽象——问的是一般人，而不是你自己。这张卡之后通常会谈到：
- whether people work better alone or in teams
- how disagreements in groups should be handled
- what skills teamwork requires
其他“事件与经历”话题卡
Describe a journey or trip that you remember well.
关键词是journey（旅程），不是目的地——这个区别值一分。
Describe an important decision you have made.
这张卡建立在一个人生岔路口上。如果当时并没有真正的另一个选择，就换一个决定来讲。
Describe a celebration you enjoyed.
文化细节在这里是白送的分——考官可能真的不知道这个节日是怎么过的。
Describe a time when you were late for something.
一个自带张力的叙事——只要按顺序讲，这是最容易讲得流利的话题卡之一。
Describe a time when you helped someone.
与“帮助过你的人”那张卡互为镜像，同样的规则适用：先把问题铺垫好。
Describe a problem you solved.
这张卡奖励过程。你尝试过又放弃的方法，比最终奏效的方法更有价值。
把这张卡说出来
Oliver会给你读一张卡，等你准备满一分钟，然后整整两分钟一句话也不说——这正是你一个人没法练的部分。之后的报告会分别给流利度、词汇、语法和发音打分。第一次测试免费。
