口說真題分享

An occasion when you helped a family member 幫助家人的經驗

《An occasion when you helped a family member 幫助家人的經驗》是《雅思口說當季真經全詳解》Sep-Dec 2024 中收錄的雅思口說 part 3 延伸 part 2 cue card 的考題。問題內容如下（節錄）：

1. How do people know that their neighbours might need help?
   人們如何知道鄰居可能需要幫助？

   點此看中文

   人們通常會通過關注和溝通來瞭解鄰居是否需要幫助。例如，去年我們的老鄰居林女士有幾天沒有去取報紙了。我媽媽發現後很擔心，就去敲她的門，看看是否一切正常。原來，林老太太摔倒了，站不起來了。在公寓樓裡，你可能會聽到不尋常的聲音，或者發現有人很久沒來了。有時，鄰居也會直接向你求助。比如我爸爸需要人幫忙搬一個很重的沙發，他就請鄰居陳先生幫忙。因此，要善於觀察，與周圍的人保持良好的關係。

   People usually know their neighbors need help by paying attention and communicating. For example, last year, our elderly neighbor, Mrs. Lin, wasn’t picking up her newspaper for a few days. My mom noticed and got worried, so she knocked on her door to check if everything was okay. It turned out Mrs. Lin had fallen and couldn’t get up. In apartment buildings, you might hear unusual noises or notice someone hasn’t been around for a while. Sometimes, neighbors directly ask for help too. Like when my dad needed help moving a heavy couch, he asked our neighbor Mr. Chen. So it’s about being observant and maintaining good relationships with the people living around you.

2. Do neighbours often help each other in your country?
   在貴國，鄰居之間經常互相幫助嗎？

   是啊，我覺得臺灣的鄰居經常會互相幫助，尤其是在小社區。在我的公寓樓裡，社區意識相當濃厚。例如，在農曆新年期間，每個人都會交換食物和點心。有人去度假時，鄰居們經常會幫忙澆花或收信。我記得去年刮颱風的時候，鄰居們一起清理街上的落葉和雜物。在更多的農村地區，這種睦鄰精神更加強烈。我奶奶住在一個小鎮上，她的鄰居們經常分享自家菜園裡的蔬菜，並互相幫助幹農活。這是我們文化中很好的一部分。

   Yeah, I’d say neighbors in Taiwan often help each other out, especially in smaller communities. In my apartment building, there’s a pretty strong sense of community. For instance, during the Lunar New Year, everyone exchanges food and treats. When someone goes on vacation, their neighbors often help water their plants or collect their mail. I remember when we had a big typhoon last year, our neighbors all worked together to clear the fallen branches and debris from our street. In more rural areas, this neighborly spirit is even stronger. My grandma lives in a small town, and her neighbors regularly share vegetables from their gardens and help each other with farm work. It’s a nice part of our culture.

3. Should parents reward their children when they help others?
   當孩子幫助他人時，父母是否應該給予獎勵？

   點此看中文

   我認為，父母有時獎勵幫助他人的孩子是可以的，但這不應該成為孩子做好事的主要原因。例如，在我小的時候，當我幫一位老太太提雜物時，父母會表揚我，這讓我感覺很好。但他們也告訴我，不管有沒有獎勵，幫助別人都是應該的。也許小小的獎勵可以鼓勵孩子們開始幫助別人，但隨著他們長大，他們應該學會幫助別人，因為這是善舉，而不是因為他們會得到什麼。就像現在，我在動物收容所做志工，不是為了獎勵，而是因為我喜歡動物，想幫助它們。所以，一點表揚是好的，但重點應該是讓他們感覺到有所作為。

   I think it’s okay for parents to sometimes reward kids for helping others, but it shouldn’t be the main reason for doing good deeds. For example, when I was younger, my parents would praise me when I helped an old lady carry her groceries, which made me feel good. But they also taught me that helping others is just the right thing to do, reward or not. Maybe small rewards can encourage kids to start helping, but as they grow up, they should learn to help because it’s kind, not because they’ll get something. Like now, I volunteer at an animal shelter not for rewards, but because I love animals and want to help. So, a little praise is nice, but the focus should be on feeling good about making a difference.

4. What can children learn by helping others?
   孩子們能從幫助他人中學到什麼？

   點此看中文

   通過幫助他人，孩子們可以學到很多寶貴的東西。首先，他們可以培養同理心——理解他人的感受。例如，當我幫助在數學上遇到困難的同學時，我瞭解到當你不理解一件事時是多麼令人沮喪。幫助他人還能培養責任感和社區的重要性。比如我們班組織了一次海灘清潔活動，我們從中懂得了保護環境是我們每個人的責任。孩子們還能獲得新的技能。當我在奶奶的花園裡幫忙時，我學到了關於植物和如何種植食物的知識。此外，幫助他人還能增強自尊。知道自己給別人的生活帶來了積極的變化，感覺真的很好。

   Children can learn so many valuable things by helping others. First, they develop empathy—understanding how other people feel. For instance, when I helped my classmate who was struggling with math, I learned how frustrating it can be when you don’t understand something. Helping others also teaches responsibility and the importance of community. Like when our class organized a beach clean-up, we learned that we’re all responsible for taking care of our environment. Kids can also gain new skills. When I help my grandma in her garden, I’m learning about plants and how to grow food. Plus, helping others boosts self-esteem. It feels really good to know you’ve made a positive difference in someone’s life.
