Lynn’s comments:
Rou Jie has good English ability and excellent pronunciation but needs to apply her skills and put English into practice. She is afraid to make mistakes so often pauses in the middle of a sentence, searching for the right word to use in her mind. She says she often has mental blocks and can’t think and speak at the same time. Therefore, for more difficult tasks, she needs to prepare in advance and make notes before giving a verbal summary. There are still a few grammar mistakes regarding the use of auxiliary verbs and different parts of speech. She is able to pick out the key points of an article or speech but needs to work on linking the ideas and cohesion when paraphrasing the content. We are also practicing forming her own opinions by asking WH questions and explaining her thoughts out loud. Overall, she needs to build more confidence in speaking and avoid backtracking too often as this can interfere with the listener’s understanding. She should record herself and listen back to correct any grammar mistakes and improve vocabulary.
根據自身練習經驗以及評語，我整理主要問題與可能克服的方式如下：
過度擔心口說錯誤，而在語句間暫停過久，影響他人理解
只能突破心態，在面對教學者時，也要放鬆心情，像面對朋友般盡量表達、侃侃而談。此外就是不畏懼展示錯誤。
口語仍易有文法錯誤，如單複數的名詞或動詞使用、時態等
如同Lynn的建議，將改變準備方式，於上課之前先進行錄音，自行留意並改善較明顯之錯誤或不流暢的地方後，再於上課時表達給Lynn聽，或討論錄音之內容。
再來就是透過多練習，將文法變成口語習慣。
表達時容易回溯內容
這項表現出於我往往需要足夠時間組織起我所讀到、聽到的內容。
之前練習時，大多於閱聽後，立即統整內容並練習表達。在準備不夠的情況下，表達內容邏輯不清、描述重點分配不均。
最近我先將影片大綱依照表達段落用中文擬好後，英文表達之重點較明確，也比較流暢。故這是一個改善回溯內容的可行方式。
此外，這項難題超出英文能力，而涉及邏輯或統整能力。故需透過長時間、多練習來增進。
較不擅長連結或引申文章、影片所傳達之涵義
在Lynn的引導下，除了使用5W1H深入瞭解文章/影片所談論的議題，也主動思考：根據題目，內容重點可能為何？我的想法或猜測為何？我是否同意文章/影片的說法？此議題/想法與我的關聯為何？
