Task 1: Giving Advice 是CELPIP口语考试的第一个任务。屏幕上会出现一个情境描述,讲的是您的朋友或同事遇到了什么问题,您需要在90秒内给出有用的建议。
这个任务考查的是您能否清晰地提出建议、用理由支撑您的观点,以及说话时是否自然、有同理心。评分主要从连贯性(coherence)、词汇量、语法和发音四个方面进行。
概览
- 准备时间: 30秒
- 作答时间: 90秒
- 任务类型: 为朋友/同事提供建议
- CLB范围: 5-12(取决于表现)
- 语气: 友好、支持、自然
了解Task 1的题型
考试屏幕上会显示一段情境描述,通常由两到三句话组成,讲述某人遇到的问题。常见话题包括:
- 职业决策(换工作、争取升职)
- 住房问题(吵闹的邻居、选择公寓)
- 社交场景(筹划活动、化解矛盾)
- 财务问题(省钱、做预算)
- 健康与生活方式(缓解压力、开始锻炼)
您有30秒阅读题目提示并准备回答,然后连续说90秒。
电脑会录下您的声音,房间里没有真人考官。
常见错误
很多考生一紧张只给出一条建议,然后就没话说了。您至少需要准备三条不同的建议并说明理由,才能撑满90秒并展示语言表达的丰富性。
四步回答模板
使用这个框架来组织每次Task 1的回答。它能确保您覆盖所有评分要点,并高效利用时间。
第一步:回应对方的处境(10-15秒)
表达共情,简要复述对方的问题。这既展示了您的理解能力,也体现了自然的对话技巧。
常用句型:
- “I understand you’re having trouble with…”
- “That sounds really stressful, especially when…”
- “I can see why you’re concerned about…”
第二步:第一条建议 + 理由(30-35秒)
给出您的第一个建议,并解释为什么这样做有帮助。说明理由非常关键——这体现了您的逻辑思维能力。
常用句型:
- “If I were you, I would… because…”
- “One thing you could try is… This way, you’ll…”
- “Have you considered… ? That would help you…”
第三步:第二条建议 + 理由(30-35秒)
提出另一条不同的建议和新的理由。给出多样化的建议能展现您的灵活性和语言能力。
常用句型:
- “Another option would be to… since…”
- “You might also want to… That would allow you to…”
- “I’d also suggest… so that you can…”
第四步:鼓励性结尾(10-15秒)
用一句鼓励的话收尾。这样能让您的回答更像一段完整的对话,也留下良好的印象。
常用句型:
- “I’m sure things will work out once you…”
- “Good luck with this, I think you’ll figure it out!”
- “Let me know how it goes. I’m confident you’ll make the right choice.”
小贴士
练习时注意自己说”um”或自然停顿的节奏。母语者说话不会一味求快。考试中要追求的是清晰的节奏感而非速度——考官奖励的是流利度(fluency),而不是飞速说完。
给建议时的常用表达
记住五到七个这类表达,考试时就能脱口而出。短语的多样性能提升您的词汇分数。
引出建议
- “If I were in your shoes, I would…”
- “My suggestion would be to…”
- “Have you thought about…”
- “It might be a good idea to…”
- “Why don’t you try…”
解释理由
- “That way, you’ll…”
- “This would help you…”
- “Because this will allow you to…”
- “Since that would give you…”
- “So you can avoid…”
补充新观点
- “Another thing I’d recommend is…”
- “You could also…”
- “On top of that, you might want to…”
- “Additionally, it would help if you…”
鼓励性结尾
- “I’m sure you’ll handle this well.”
- “Things will get better once you…”
- “Good luck, I believe in you!”
- “Don’t worry too much; you’ve got this.”
Task 1应做事项
- 给出至少三条不同的建议
- 解释每条建议为什么有帮助
- 使用友好、支持的语气(想象在和朋友聊天)
- 说满90秒,不要提前停下来
- 使用过渡词(also, another thing, additionally)
- 紧扣主题,不要跑到无关的故事上
Task 1常见陷阱
- 不要给出含糊的建议(如"just do your best")
- 不要用不同的措辞重复同一条建议
- 不要使用过于正式的语言(如"I humbly submit...")
- 不要在一个观点上花60秒然后匆忙讲第二个
- 不要道歉或说"I do not know what to suggest"

范文(CLB 9-10水平):
“I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling so overwhelmed, that’s tough when you have a lot on your plate at work and at home.
If I were you, I would start by making a priority list each morning. Write down the three most important tasks for the day, and focus on finishing those before anything else. That way, you’ll make sure the critical things get done, and you won’t feel like everything is equally urgent. It really helps reduce stress when you know what actually matters.
Another thing I’d suggest is setting clear boundaries between work time and personal time. For example, you could try not checking work emails after 7 p.m., or dedicating one evening a week just to relaxing with your family. This would give you some time to recharge, and you’d probably feel more energetic and productive when you do work.
I’m sure once you start organizing your time a bit better, you’ll feel much more in control. Good luck with this, you’ve got this!”
为什么这个回答好:

- 给出了三条不同的、具有可操作性的建议
- 解释了每条建议的好处
- 使用了自然的口语化表达
- 以鼓励、支持的语句收尾
- 以自然语速朗读约为90秒
练习Task 1:工作与生活的平衡

范文(CLB 9-10水平):
“I totally understand how draining that must be. Working long hours without a break takes a real toll on you, and it makes sense that you’re frustrated.
Before you quit, though, I’d recommend talking to your manager about adjusting your workload. A lot of people are afraid to bring this up, but most employers would rather negotiate than lose a good employee. You could suggest working from home one or two days a week, or shifting your schedule so you start and finish earlier. That way, you’d free up your evenings without giving up your income or your position.
I’d also suggest blocking off at least two evenings a week as personal time, and treating those like meetings you can’t cancel. Put them on your calendar and protect them. Whether it’s going for a run, cooking dinner with your family, or just reading a book, having that protected time gives you something to look forward to and helps you recharge.
On top of that, it might be worth taking a short vacation before making any big decisions. When you’re exhausted, everything feels worse than it actually is. A week off could give you the clarity to figure out whether this job is truly the problem or whether you just need better boundaries.
I think once you try a few of these things, you’ll feel a lot better. And if you still want to quit after that, at least you’ll know it’s the right call.”
为什么这个回答好:
- 以真诚的共情和认可开场
- 给出了三条不同的、可操作的建议(和上司沟通、保护私人时间、先休个假)
- 每条建议都有充分的理由
- 使用了自然的口语化表达和缩略语
- 以鼓励、客观的视角收尾
- 以自然语速朗读约为90秒
练习Task 1:变得更健康
情境: A friend tells you they want to get healthier and start exercising, but they have no motivation and don’t know where to begin. They have tried going to the gym before but always quit after a few weeks. Give your friend advice on how to stay on track.
您的任务: 您有30秒准备和90秒作答。

范文(CLB 9-10水平):
“I’ve been in that exact situation before, so I know how frustrating it is when you keep starting and stopping. The good news is there are a few things that really helped me, and I think they’d work for you too.
First, I’d say start way smaller than you think you should. Instead of committing to an hour at the gym five days a week, try just going for a twenty-minute walk after dinner. That sounds too simple, but the point is to build a habit that actually sticks. Once walking becomes part of your routine, you’ll naturally want to do more, and that’s when you can add things like jogging or strength training.
My second suggestion would be to find a workout buddy or join a group class. When someone is counting on you to show up, it’s a lot harder to skip. I started going to a cycling class with a coworker, and honestly, the social part made it fun instead of feeling like a chore. You could ask around at work or check community centres near you.
I’d also recommend tracking your progress somewhere you can see it, like a calendar on your fridge or an app on your phone. Every time you complete a workout, you mark it off. After a couple of weeks, you’ll have a streak going, and you won’t want to break it. It sounds simple, but seeing your progress is incredibly motivating.
You’ve got the right attitude just by wanting to change, so I’m confident you’ll stick with it this time. Just take it one day at a time!”
为什么这个回答好:
- 拉近距离的开场(“I’ve been there”),建立亲近感
- 给出了三条清晰、实用的建议(从小目标开始、找运动伙伴、记录进度)
- 每条建议都配有具体的理由和例子
- 语气自然口语化,使用了缩略语和日常表达
- 以真诚的鼓励收尾
- 以自然语速朗读约为90秒
让您的建议听起来更自然
考生经常会听起来像在背模板或读机器翻译。您应该追求的是口语化的流利度:就像真的在帮朋友出主意一样。
自然表达的技巧
使用缩略语: 说”you’re”而不是”you are”,“I’d”而不是”I would”。这更贴近加拿大人日常说话的方式。
适当使用填充词: 偶尔说一句”you know""I mean”或”honestly”能让您听起来更自然,但不要过度使用。
变换句子长度: 把简短有力的句子(“That’s tough.”)和较长的解释交替使用,营造节奏感。
用声音传递情感: 共情和鼓励不仅要体现在用词上,还要通过语调传达出来。说话时微微微笑——这会改变您的声音质感。
小贴士
找朋友或家人一起练习。问他们:“这听起来像我平时说话的样子吗?“如果您练习时的回答听起来生硬,就放松一些。考官看重的是真实感和沟通的顺畅度。
