厚臉皮之三-----上海市中高級口譯考試蒙混過關之方法完整篇(口試部分,有關于口試號的研究和分數的研究&總結)~~最終回啦來源: 崔百賀的日志
呵呵,如果你過了筆試,那么恭喜你了~~~繼續努力,奮斗口試哦!如果你還考的話,這個也能幫到你的筆試的~~~ 恩~~~先給大家來點信心:同學們,不要相信口試不可能一次過的神話!那是老師嚇你們呢!我很多同學(包括我啦,當然)都是一次過的,高口也可以一次過的!也不要相信口譯口試不是人考的這種說法,因為其實有心做就不難的。(我還是人啊,所以強烈證明,是人考的!)
再給大家推薦本書:新東方中高口口試必備(我不是新東方的學生啊,怎么一天到晚在給他們做廣告?!說明很有用咯~~)額。。先講講那個上外的那個隨口試報名通知一起寄來的讓你參加他們口譯培訓班的通知吧。注意是筆試考試通過之后才會收到的培訓通知,同學們不要搞混咯!(同學們,我果然是培訓班小白鼠啊!)我覺得呢(上外的口譯辦,表打我啊!)沒多大意思,他們把你們拉去,其實就是上2個小時(沒記錯的話)的課,跟你講怎么算分(要省錢的看我的日志啊!),題型是什么樣的,最后呢再給你試一下翻譯。(當然不會是一對一的試考啦!其實就是自己翻一下,老師再集體講)而且教室環境也不好,人又多又吵,位子還要自己先到先占~~(額,還是幫上外說句好話吧)但是,那個講講座的老師還是蠻可愛,蠻搞笑的,如果你想去領略一下他的幽默,可以去報名,還有如果你還不放心那算分的事情的話,也可以去參加~~(我是不推薦啦,中口的時候去了一次,沒多大意思,高口就死也不去了~~)好啦,給大家詳細講下那個講座的大致內容吧~(考試流程大家清楚不?上來先跟老師說:My Name is。。My Registry Number is。。然后說My Topic is。。就可以開始啦,和藹一點的考官呢會提醒你開始的,遇到脾氣不好的,哎~~就靠自己啦,我中口的時候遇到個脾氣差的,連是不是可以開始了,都要我自己問他~~不過不要讓考官影響你的心情哦,自己好好發揮就好,遇到和藹的,就開心吧,遇到臉很臭的,就當他不存在,呵呵~~)會有兩個錄音機,一個給你放錄音,一個錄你的答案~~兩個老師評分~(看到這個我還是有點小緊張的,大家就當它們是空氣吧~~)先講講分數怎么算吧,我想大家都很關心這個~
先是口語部分,當然要流利,不偏題啦,同學們注意了,口語是必須過的,如果你的口語失敗的話,接下去,也不用考了,就直接當掉了!所以不要緊張,這部分好好表現,輕輕松松的,就當warm up咯~~
講下口語評分標準吧:流利度第一!Pronunciation:acceptable就可以了,何謂acceptablene呢?就是不要有嚴重的口音,發音錯誤就好了,英式音還是美式音,隨便你啦,關鍵是單詞要講對!然后呢,語法基本正確,內容基本相關就可以了!可以有合理停頓(要求不高吧)
接著呢,就要進入翻譯部分啦
中口是16個句子,中譯英,英譯中對半開,你可以完全翻不出,或完全翻錯5句(條件還是可以的~~~)高口是8個長句,中譯英,英譯中一樣對半開,老師的評分單上會把每句話拆成兩句來評的,所以還是一樣16個,有5次完全翻不出,或完全翻錯的機會。(夠了,夠了~~相信我,老師還算客氣的)
中高口都是先放磁帶,然后“嘟”一聲,你就可以開始翻了,抓緊時間咯!再“嘟”一聲之后,就要停下,接著翻下一句了!所以千萬抓緊時間吧,不在時間內翻完,就要扣分咯!~中口的的翻譯時間大概是20~30秒,高口大概是30~40秒。在詳細一下評分標準(所謂“Important Criteria”)
Completeness(翻譯的完整性)2/3以上翻出來,錯譯漏譯少于1/3 Accuracy(準確性)基本準確(這個很重要的~~)
Fluency(所謂流利度)其實就是要你在規定的時間內完成翻譯~~注意掌握速度,一半來說不可能提前很多翻完,提前很多翻完,你就要考慮考慮,有沒有翻譯完全了!~ 好吧,再教教大家,如何偷看老師的評分單(我考的時候都有偷瞄過,有兩個最后發現我在看,把評分表遮起來了(不厚道~~),其他幾個,都有讓我看到啦~~)老師的評分表呢,分成16個小格格~~他會根據你的翻譯情況打“勾勾”、“叉叉”、“1 /2”、“1/3”、“2/3“、“1/4”之類的,我們一個個看:打勾勾的,恭喜你,這句話你翻得很好,通過啦;”*/*“呢就是你這句話只完成 “*/*”,慶幸吧,至少有翻出來,而且老師手比較松~~當然要注意了,后面的句子要加油哦;最后打叉叉的,同學,很不幸,你這句話,一點分都沒拿到,不過還有機會,那就是想辦法不要讓叉叉滿5個!
恩,以上是評分!~~接下來關照大家一句,就像筆試蒙、猜也一定要涂滿一樣,口譯也是,切忌“一言不發”這是考官們最恨的了!如果你真的沒聽明白,或者沒聽清,那就請你根據上下文推斷,給我編!!為什么死也要說話呢?告訴大家一個真實的故事,你就知道說話,給反應的重要性了~~我的雅思口語老師是口譯考試的考官而且做了很多年了,她跟我們說,有一次她去當考官,有個學生前面14句都翻得很好,甚至可以說是完美,但是到最后2句的時候,他也不知道是吃錯藥了還是怎么了,居然一句話都沒說,結果咧,他沒有過!照那個5句的上限,他可以過啊,為什么呢?就是因為他一句話都沒說,這個是考官或者說是口譯考試最忌諱的了!所以說,千萬要說話&給反應!(額。寫的我兩眼發直了,暈了暈了~~~)
繼續,接下來講什么呢?我想想,磨蹭一會~~ 恩,講講怎么準備口試吧,大家會想要聽的吧~~
當你報完名之后到正式考試的時候,中口會有3個星期左右的時間,高口就比較短只有2個星期左右,所以同學們,再懶,這個時候也要打起精神來,要對得起自己的筆試和人民幣啊!(口試很貴的!中口180,高口220,我當時兩個都報了,就是400啊~~)再次聲明,以下內容致基礎較好,且較懶的孩子們,如果你很勤奮,不用我說你能做的也很多,而且如果你想學到真材實料的話,也要慢慢積累咯!
口語部分,我認為,沒什么好準備的,關注一下時事,了解一下熱點,練練發音,流利度就可以了,找點課文讀讀,呵呵~~(因為個人口語還可以的,所以沒啥準備所以建議口語好的同學,不要浪費時間,多看口譯部分吧!)中口的同學們,我給一個3周復習計劃(再懶也要認真做哦,我夠懶了,也做下來了!):第一周:熟悉復習單詞~~(還是老樣子,新東方中高口詞匯必備,廣告飄過~~)希望大家自己安排,好好看完它,不要求你都記住,但至少要有印象,而且我所謂的印象可不是看到時候能想起來哦,而是:聽到,可以知道!希望大家熟悉這些單詞的讀音,發音,因為考試的時候畢竟還是要靠耳朵給反應!
第二周:看口譯書(就是那一套書里的口譯部分)本周是你的實驗課~~看書的時候,請你運用上周看到的單詞,(老話:會用才是自己的)嘗試自己看到之后,快速反應出來它的意思,然后再看書后的解釋,尋找“差距”,呵呵~~~不懂的單詞記一下,老樣子熟悉讀音。時間緊張的同學,你們可以忽略后面的口譯練習部分,看主要課文就好了,可能會有差不多的東西出現在考試中哦~~~所以還是可以套詞、套句,考試的時候這招很好用,既可以達到準確度,又可以有速度。(想開場白之類的,都是長出現的套詞,尤其是中譯英,大家知道的,中國人官話套路都差不多的)懶人們要自己動動腦筋找套路咯~~
第三周:實踐課啦!大家會喜歡這一周的~~(雖然開始的時候有點痛苦)恩恩~~剛才講到的那本“新東方中高口口試必備”這時候就該登場啦!~~如果你沒買的話,也不要緊,去網上下載吧,歷屆的真題~~不過一定要文字和音頻一起下啊!我們要音頻有用的!好啦,這周很關鍵哦~~讓你有點實戰的感覺。這周你要做的很簡單,把那個20個單元的真題聽完!當然不是單純的聽。首先請你不要看原文。聽的時候就像實際考試一樣,給自己限定翻譯時間,練習自己的筆記系統,就像實際考試一樣。結束一篇之后,再去看原文和答案,看原文里有沒有不認識的單詞,有沒有不會翻的,看答案的翻法,學習一下。開始可能會覺得跟不上,不要泄氣,到大概10篇的時候就會好很多了,做完之后,會很有成就感的。實在堅持不下去的時候,可以小小偷下懶~~嘿嘿~~對了,可以留個一兩篇不做,空著,等考試那天候場的時候再當warm up做~~心理素質差的這個就算了,我不想把你們搞得很緊張~~
中口就這樣,具體大家可以根據自己情況,考試時間安排啦!~~
高口的同學們,我給個2周計劃(因為高口準備時間很短,有可能還不到兩周~~)第一周:看單詞+看口譯書(材料同中口的~~)我建議大家來不及的話,看書的時候就注意一下單詞什么的,學起來,那樣的話單詞書就找幾個重點看就好!~~(本人因為中高口一路上來,所以再準備高口的時候,單詞雖然沒記住什么,也沒怎看啦,就憑那點印象就去考了,但是我有記得常用詞哦~~比如“和諧社會”、“小康社會”之類的~~方法一樣:請熟悉發音,靠耳朵去反應!看書的方法跟中口一樣,嘗試自己翻翻看,運用!運用!第二周:高口的同學,請直接進入實踐課,因為你們沒時間再做實驗啦!請你們把屬于你們的高口口試歷屆真題做完,買書的同學方便一點,沒書的同學,下載吧,有的~方法和中口一樣,實戰!(不在寫了,自己回上去看吧,我眼睛都寫得直了!~)好啦,準備方法講完,講講我們投機的方法吧!~~
首先,筆記方法,我個人還是傾向于自己開發一套適合你自己的方法,因為這樣比較容易上手,也比較方便,當然已經會那個什么“新東方口譯符號”的同學們,就請你們多用用吧!千萬不要貪多,還是理解為主,筆記為輔!
然后,考試的時候,遇到成語什么的怎么辦?——淡定,老樣子,根據中文意思,用你知道的詞匯表達出來,當然如果你背到過并且記得,那就請你用原文!關于套詞,套句。(這個是口譯老師建議的吧~~)一般考試時有很多都是可以套句的!比如什么:我很榮幸代表。。在此發言;在這個**的時刻。。;我想對**致以我最真誠的感謝;之類的都可以套用書上的話!
再來,側重點。中口內容其實比較多變誒~~很注重比較生活化的東西(老師說的),高口的內容反而比較死,多數都是政治、經濟、文化類的,而且很多都能套用哦~~
準備口語的時候(會事先有5分鐘準備的)寫一點關鍵詞在紙上,記一下,寫多了也沒用,進去考官要收掉的,白寫!寫下你要說的主要意思,用關鍵詞記一下,到時候串起來就好了。(鍛煉自己的發散性思維,比如講到,Icecream就可以想到kids,sweet,summer,cool,hot,fat,slim之類的,然后這幾個詞就可以串成句子啦~~孩子喜歡吃Icecream,因為sweet,夏天的時候因為很熱所以很多人都喜歡吃,可以覺得cool,但是它有很多fat,如果你不想變胖就少吃吧之類的~~)這方法很實用
好吧,再來說說口試號。當大家去考試的時候呢,會給大家分組,從第一組到第N組,中口每組20個人,高口每組10個(似乎是的)簡單的說吧:如果拿到口試號末尾是5以后的還有0的同學們你們要做好心理準備,你們會等很久,高口口試號末尾是0的同學尤其注意,你多數是最后一個(因為我就是!等了4個小時啊!~~)不過呢,后面一點也未必不好啊,我最后一個進去考的時候,老師把走廊燈都關了,兩考官根本沒什么心思聽了,容易混一下,哈哈~~
最后,提醒大家一句,口頭禪不要多,不是英語的語氣詞不要出現啊,給考官很不好的印象的!~~那時候去上上外的培訓的時候,老師講個笑話(大家輕松下啦~~),說有一同學去考,口頭禪特厲害,喜歡講“個么”,于是他是這樣考試的:today my topic is....個么i think it is個么very good...然后口語做完,他就當掉了,為什么?考官問他:why do you put so much 個么in your topic?他搞笑的來了句:i didn't put any 個么in my topic!(這仁兄語法還不錯嘛,還記得用過去時~~)好啦口試關鍵:幾個C,牢記咯!~~ Concentration(confidence)Comprehension
Culture background/Common sense(是叫你口語的時候不要亂說啦~~)
Constant readjustment(翻譯時要不斷調整,一旦發現錯,趕快改,抓住名詞哦!)就這樣,努力一定會有回報的,如果你時間充足,做這些,你會覺得很輕松地,如果時間緊張,做這些,也是來得及的!
給自己個目標吧,會容易點,沒那么苦,我那時候高口口試之前,給自己給目標:我一定要一次過!然后就馬力全開,呵呵,很認真哦~~
口試不能再偷懶咯,要加油!而且我這個計劃,也不算很苛刻吧,我自己做下來覺得還算輕松的~~
最后的最后,祝想考的同學們,都能輕松地“混”過去咯~~加油吧!有問題的留言,我盡量抽空解答(自戀一下,呵呵~~)
第二篇:酒店語言表達口試總結
《酒店語言表達訓練》課程口試總結
語言表達是人們生活和學習交流的重要手段,而較高的酒店語言表達水平是提供優質服務的重要手段。新生入學正是培養酒店語言表達能力的最佳時期,通過本學期酒店管理專業《酒店語言表達訓練》課程教學及口試,取得較好的教學效果,現總結如下:
一、要憑借高職改革新教材,加強學生平時的語言表達訓練
利用高職改革新教材訓練酒店管理專業新生的語言表達是很有效的辦法。高職改革新教材對學生進行語言表達訓練提供了編排人物對話交際的訓練項目。為此,我認為教師在教學中,要盡量讓學生積極主動地參與語言表達實踐。
二、要創設交際情境,進行酒店語言表達訓練
生動、逼真的情境創設極富感染性,能夠調動學生內在真實的情感體驗,激發他們表達的強烈欲望。我們要在課內外創設多種多樣的交際情境,讓每個學生無拘無束地進行語言表達。這是語言表達訓練的一條重要途徑。根據酒店管理專業能力的要求,在課堂教學中,應針對酒店行業工作實際,通過創設情境讓學生參與,引起學生語言交際的欲望,激發他們語言交際的熱情。
三、要組織社會實踐活動,強化語言訓練
學生的語言能力真正得到培養,必須依賴于社會實踐,而形成口語交際能力后,最終又要走向社會。因此,語言能力的培養要與社會實踐結合起來進行。教師可選擇一些酒店管理專業學生在工學交替過程中碰到的實例講給學生聽,要求他們把故事完整地復述出來,或教師必須把復述的內容理出一條清晰的線索讓學生沿著這條線索,抓住故事主要內容進行復述。這樣有助于加強學生聽的訓練,提高學生的語言表達能力和記憶力。
四、挖掘有利因素,加強語言訓練
從自我體驗中引說。體驗是一個人在參與實踐活動中引起的一系列感受,它能引發強烈的表達欲望。如:買東西是學生都經歷過的事,讓學生以模擬購買談過程、談感受,這樣就把學生的生活與說話訓練有機地聯系起來,學生不僅能說,而且還善于發揮。還可以讓學生模擬表演問路、借東西、接待客人,開展 “傳話”等學生喜聞樂見的游戲和競賽活動。學生在玩中學說,興趣盎然,輕松愉快,真正做到“我口說我心”。學生在雙向互動的訓練中,不僅學會了應用禮貌用語,思維與口語交談能力也得到同步提高。
五、模擬酒店工作場景,努力提高學生的表達和交際能力
主要采用模擬酒店崗位具體工作場景的方式,訓練酒店崗位語言表達和交際能力。
總之,語言訓練貴在實踐,只要我們遵循學生的心理特點和語言學習的規律,課內、課外相結合,努力提高對學生說話能力培養的意識,就一定能收到良好的效果。

第四篇:二年級語文口試總結
二年級語文口試總結 低年段語文口試活動是一種發展性評價,根本目的是促進學生達到目標,而不是檢查和評比。口試考查能夠彌補傳統筆試的一些不足,對學生的考查更趨于全面,有利于促進學生的全面發展。
口試能夠對學生每個方面的發展情況作出評價。學生各個方面的發展是不平衡的,有的長于表達,有的長于記憶,有的長于邏輯推理,有的長于空間想象,這些特長在筆試中得不到鮮明的反映,而口試考查能夠將不同的內容分別進行考查,較好地解決教師因材施教、面向全體的問題。更能夠讓學生把自己優勢和特長展示出來,使他們明白自己的優勢所在和最有前途的發展方向,進而有意識、有選擇地發展自己的語文特長,對于培養“合格+特長”的人才是十分有益的。
此次口試考查實驗的內容包括以下兩部分。
(1)口語交際
①聽話:包括聽說詞語、聽句子復述及回答提問、聽一段話回答問題。②說話:包括根據實際說話、看圖說話、用給定的詞語說話、圍繞主題說話、據情境說話。
(2)誦讀
①朗讀:包括課內文章、課外讀物。
②背誦:課內要求背誦的內容、課外要求背誦的古詩。
低年級還有對課內外識字量的測試。
在考評的過程中,我們也做了比較細致的工作。具體工作如下:各班學生以小組為單位到相應考點,學生到位后,考評老師按考核名單點名考核,并且根據情況記錄、評價。首先由學生抽簽朗讀、口語作品,并三分鐘準備,前面一名學生準備完畢,后一名學生抽簽并上交考核成績表;接著,由前一名學生進行朗讀、口語考核,而再由后一名學生做好準備。
通過口試提高學生的朗讀和口語水平。提高了學生的學習興趣,鼓勵學生提高自身的朗讀和口語水平。朗讀和口語訓練,對培養學生的語感,提高學生的思維和寫作能力都有較大的幫助。
經過本次口試,我更大程度上了解了學生在認知與誦讀方面的不同差異,一定程度上,該次口試也基本反映了學生在平時的識記與課外積累方面所體現的差距。真正客觀的口試考查結果擺在了每一個學生面前。也是我自己認識到在平時的課堂教學中要注意規范學生口頭語言。由于小學生生活經歷少,口語能力較弱,無論口語交際的內容、方式和語言形式都較生疏,也欠缺良好的交際態度和聽說習慣。教師在教學中一定要注意聽學生說話。隨時規范學生的口頭語言。教師的指導主要在兩個方面;一是努力調動學生生活與語言積累,在此基礎上,根據需要適當提示、補充或指導搜集一些有關交際內容方面的材料和語言材料;如以游戲為交際內容補充、搜集一些游戲方式方法材料,以講禮貌為交際內容提示一些禮貌語言材料等……優秀者,滿意了;平庸者,默言了。

Li: Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage.The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.Interlocutor: How about you, Mr.Wang? Is it difficult for you? Wang: Not really.You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration.So I have always found business English very interesting.Stage Two
The importance of having a good CV Well, in my opinion, you can never underestimate the importance of having a good CV.In the majority of cases, your CV is the employer's first impression of you, your first chance to impress your potential employer, let's say.It is the essential illustration of your
suitability for the job, showing how your skills and experience match your employer's
requirements.But more than that, it shows your ability to summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, essential skills in today's job market.It also shows your linguistic and
communicative abilities.Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application.Stage Three Time Management Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce.You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the situation.Discuss, and decide together:
------why poor time management can become a major problem in companies
------what procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.Zhang: Hi, Ms Wang, you know, our company is sort of out of control these days.Don't you think so? Wang: Yeah.Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company.And that obviously
has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems.Why? Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks.They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task.And Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities.I mean certain tasks need
our prior attention.But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: That's the point.So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company? Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt? Zhang: Sure.That's what our boss is asking us to do.Right? Wang: Right.I think we've got a lot to do.First, we should make all the staff members
realize how important effective time management is to our company.Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in
supervisory positions.Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them.If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member,come up with a job description of their own.In this way, they can be pretty sure
about what they are responsible for and what they are not.Wang: Yes, that's a good idea.And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to.In this way, we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.Zhang: Good idea.So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.15
