B1 speaking holds the floor. You tell a story to the end, with signposts for the ear. You state an opinion with a frame, a reason and an edge soft enough to keep friends. And you join a discussion with the turn-taking kit: invite, respond, build. A discussion is a fire. Everyone adds wood, and nobody takes the fire home.
B1 口语要能把话说完整：故事讲到底、观点带理由、讨论有进有出。 口头故事要有给耳朵听的路标；观点用句框加理由加软化；讨论是添柴火的火堆：人人加柴，没人把火抱回家。
A spoken story needs signposts for the listener is ear. Open with a hook: you will not believe what happened. Move with sequence words: so then, after that. Turn with suddenly, or the funny thing is, and the voice slows there. Close with in the end, and if the story explains something, say so: that is why I was late. Keep one storyline, let the past simple carry the events, and let the past continuous paint the background: I was waiting when he arrived.
口头故事要有给耳朵的路标：钩子开场（你绝不会相信发生了什么）；so then 推进；suddenly 转折处放慢；in the end 收尾并点明“所以我迟到了”。 一条主线讲到底，一般过去时扛事件，过去进行时画背景。
Opinion frames keep you honest and soft at the same time. The frame announces: I think, in my view, from my experience. The reason earns the floor: because, or which is why.
观点句框既诚实又柔软：句框开场（I think / in my view），理由挣得发言权（because），例子落地（for example 我总在最后五分钟吃完饭）。
The example lands it: for example, I always finish my food in the last five minutes. And soften the edges with probably, maybe, or I might be wrong, but.
再用 probably、maybe 软化边缘。
One opinion, one reason, one example: three sentences is a full and honest B1 turn.
一个观点、一个理由、一个例子，三句话就是一个完整的 B1 轮次。
Discussions are governed by polite traffic lights. Invite with what do you think, or how about you. Agree and build with exactly, and another thing is. Disagree softly with I see your point, but, or I am not so sure. Ask for clarity with sorry, do you mean. And close a point with so we agree on that part. The floor is shared: after two sentences of yours, pass the ball, and if you must interrupt, apologize first.
讨论由礼貌的红绿灯指挥：邀请（What do you think?）、同意并推进（Exactly, and...）、软反对（I see your point, but）、确认理解（Sorry, do you mean...）、小结（So we agree on that part）。 发言权是共享的：自己说两句就传球；要打断先道歉。
Watch out for three traps. Do not memorize essays: a discussion listens, and three reused frames beat thirty memorized ones. Silence is not respect in a discussion: I agree with Mei, and something keeps you in the room. And keep your tenses on the timeline: events in the past, feelings in the present, plans in the future, and never all three in one sentence.
三个陷阱：不要背文章（讨论需要倾听，三个句框反复用胜过背三十个）；沉默在这里不是礼貌（一句 I agree with Mei, and... 就让你留在房间里）；时态各归各的时间线，别在一句话里混三种。
Check yourself. Give one phrase for the story turn and one for the ending. Build a three-sentence opinion right now: frame, reason, example. Disagree softly with homework should be banned. And by the fire rule, after how many of your sentences do you pass the ball? If the frames come without notes, the floor is yours to share.
自测：转折和收尾各说一个短语；现场造一个三句观点（句框+理由+例子）；对“应该取消作业”软性反驳；火堆规则里你说几句传球？ 句框不靠笔记就能出口，发言权就能共享。
