同学们好，我是SK2实力养成班顾问J2(Jacob).
最近在实力养成班每周二下午1-5pm“陪你读”时间，听到同学讲口说举例
的时候，很容易制式化的说，For example, one time... When I was in
university…, Last year…, 等等。举一个过去的实例当然是个很好的方
式，但是有时候硬要用过去的例子，反而很容易卡住，或是相对的变化性就
很小，以下分享其他的举例方式让同学参考看看。
譬如题目是：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is
important for people to have good manners.
假设立场是同意：
I agree that it is important for people to have good manners. This
is because I want to make more friends.
一般可能会试着用过去的一个故事（即使不是真的）来举例佐证，试着说服
听者，例如：
For example, one time I saw a old woman trying to get across the
street, so I tried to help her. At the same time, a guy also came
along and offered to carry the things of the old woman. Later I
talked to the guy a little bit and found out that he also lived in
the neighborhood so we ended up becoming good friends. That is why
I believe by having good manners, I can make more friends.
但其实也不见的一样要用过去的例子。同学在发展例子时，其实有很多种方
式。也可以尝试下面“假设”的方式：For example, if I go to a party
and I hold the door for a stranger, maybe I will leave a good
impression on her, and maybe later at the party we’ll bump into
each other again and she’ll be more willing to talk to me, and I
get to know her more and we can be friends. So if I show good
manners to people all the time, the chances that I make new
friends will be higher. That is why I agree that people should
have good manners.
或是利用“通常会发生的情况”，试着征求听者的认同，而达到说服听者的
目的，例如:
For example, usually when you show good manners such as offering a
word of welcome when meet ing new people, they will feel that you
respect them or you care about them. And when people feel they are
important to someone, they tend to open their heart and are more
willing to make friends with you. Thus, I can make more friends by
having good manners.
可以注意到要让例子具体，有时候人事时地物不一定要完全满足，像这里认
识新朋友其实就只要讲new people, 但这个例子还是可以很具体的因为有提
到像是怎么样show good manner? 当认识新朋友时“表示欢迎”，还有说到
如果受到尊重，通常会“敞开心胸”，更容易跟他成为朋友。
所以同学下次在举例的时候，除了讲过去发生的事，可以尝试看看用“假
设”或是“通常会发生的情况”来发展佐证，会让你的口说例子发展更灵
活，也比较不如意被侷限住，讲的时候卡住喔！
Cheers,
J2
