接下來，僅就本身抽中的第3題組裡面的問題，做簡單的敘述。

一、自我介紹：

這個部份，2分鐘，我大概講了2分半鐘。以下是我的自我介紹內容。

Good morning, everyone.

My name is XXX.

I am an optimistic and easy-going person. I live in Taichung City where the weather is good but the air pollution is kind of worse. I love Taichung and hope it will become better and better for living. I am working as an accounting clerk now. In the weekends, I always do exercising, such as biking and jogging. Sometimes, my wife and I go camping and hiking in the mountains. We also like to join in some jogging activities. For us, having fun is much more important than competing with others.

Regarding my travelling experiences, I used to travel in some countries, such as America, Australia, mainland China, Korea, and Japan. Among those countries, I like Japan most. First of all, it is close to Taiwan. Second, it is convenient for us to accommodate and travel around famous spots. Third, it is full of historical buildings, traditional culture, and delicious food. Except for Japan, I travelled around USA as a backpacker as well. The most unforgettable experience was I went to Time Square of New York City to enjoy the final countdown of New Year with people around the world. People were excited about the ball drop and saying Happy New Year to each other.

The motive I want to become a local tour guide is I like to travel around each part of Taiwan and make foreign friends. Doing so is making me feel satisfied and fun. In the future, I would like to serve foreign visitors  with my sincerity to know more about Taiwan. What’s more, if I had enough money, I would create my own B&B to host them with our high hospitality and show them around in our beautiful island.

二、台灣宗教民俗信仰：

以下是我的英文回答，大家可以參考看看。

There are three major religions, including Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism.

Regarding Taoism, there are many Taiwanese believing in it and practicing it in our modern society. Take Mastu for example, recently, there were many temples holding pilgrimage procession and they would go from their original temple to other temples along the tour. People believing in Matsu follow its pilgrimage procession and wish Matsu can bless them because of their sincerity. I also followed Matsu’s pilgrimage procession for one time couple years ago. I found many Taiwanese people show their pious hearts to Matsu and hope Matsu could help them carry out their wishes. In our Taoism temples, there are many kinds of decorations, paintings, and carvings on the walls, ceilings, and cylinders, and so on. There are some paintings which tell people not to do bad deeds. In Taosim temples, we burn incense sticks and do the baibai to pray to Gods for our wishes.

Compared to Taoism, there are not many decorations in Buddhism temples. They are places where people practice Buddhism concepts.

There is also another philosophy like Confucianism, our great teacher, Confucius, said a great concept, which is Education without discrimination. He wished mankind can live in a peaceful world. There are Confucianism temples in our major cities, so many people who want to pass any kind of exam will attend worship of him and pray to him.

三、台灣夜市：

以下是我的英文回答，大家可以參考看看。

In Taiwan, there are many night markets in cities. In Taipei, I had been to Ning-sha night market and Shi-lin night market. In the past, Shi-Lin night market was on the ground, but right now it is underground. There are many kinds of delicious Taiwanese local food for visitors to choose. I strongly recommend taking a small sausage in large sausage and drinking frog egg. In Taichung, we have two large night markets, including Feng-Chia and Tai-Yuan. I strongly recommend choosing chicken cutlet and cumquat lemon juice. Many Taiwanese people like eating stinky tofu and drink pearl milk tea. They are also the perfect set for you to taste a bit.

我算是滿幸運的，抽到這個題組，對很多人來說，應該還滿好發揮的，而兩位主考官也很耐心地聽我敘述完這兩題的介紹。

然而，能夠有好的手氣和遇到好的主考官，固然重要；但是，事前完善的準備，也是能夠順利通過的重要關鍵。

現在就來分享我的準備心得給大家參考。

練習題解答& 聽力原文
中譯

我整本書全部都看完，並畫記重點，當然不可能所有的內容都記住，因此，我有針對幾句重點想敘述的內容做劃記，並儘量地把內容列點，方便記憶及背誦。

舉例來說，

如果現在以介紹臺中的景點為例，我就會把想介紹的內容做劃記，並且整理成數個段落，方便自己記誦，最主要就是要記住幾個重要的幾點與其特色，還有當地小吃及其特色。以下為範例：

If you came to Taichung, there are some must-to-go spots.

If you just had one day to stay, then I will recommend you the following itinerary.

Since our transportation systems are convenient, you can take many kinds of public transportation systems for touring Taichung.

In the morning, you can take a bus to National Taiwan museum of Fine Art to see some displays and then get a youbike to ride along Cheng-Mei Park Lane to admire some street performers’ acrobatics.

At noon, there are many restaurants along Kung-Yi Road for visitors to choose. In the afternoon, take our Blue Route to Tung-Hai University to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and go on a picnic in its campus.

Then before the dawn, head for Kaomei Wetland to see the intertidal ecosystem. There if you are lucky enough, you may use a horoscope to see some precious creatures, such as black-faced spoonbill, the Egret and tide crab, and so on. Meanwhile, walking on the wetland to see the sunset is also romantic.

At night, head back to downtown Taichung to grab some famous Taiwanese local food at Feng-Chia night market. Taiwanese chicken cutlets and stinky tofu and grass jelly tea are strongly recommended.

依此類推，把本書的全部的內容做系統化的歸納整理後，就會變成很好回答口試委員的各式問題之素材了。

本書最後還有中文翻譯及練習題的解答，大家可以翻閱及核對答案。

本書附贈的CD，則是由外國人用標準的英語針對每個章節的文章及對話，來錄製的。有空可以多聽，增強聽力。

以下列出本次的筆、口試的成績單，供大家參考。
