第一篇:BEC高級口語2010年考試經驗小結(考官點評版,值得一看)
炎熱的5月,見證了BEC高級考生揮汗如雨的奮戰。我在北外考場以口語考官的身份,考差了14對、28人的高級口語。下面是一些點評。
問過姓名之后,就是Where are you from?
這道題,我的考場都是正確反應:
I am from Sichuan, China.其它考場有的人說I'm from Ren Min University.答成了自己的學校。
第一部分有兩套題,其中那個第一套題和去年一樣,沒有變化:
Work or Studies:
-What you find most interesting about your job or course
-About your future career plans
-Why you decided to learn English
-About your ideal kind of employer *
-Why you chose your particular career
-About the place where you work or study.*
其中畫有*的題目有的考生沒有理解。ideal kind of employer不一定需要考生是有工作的,因為它在問 “你理想的雇主具有哪些特點”,即使是在校生,也可以發表自己的意見、有的可說;學習或工作的地方,有的人沒有思路,有的人有思路但是調理不清楚,用詞也沒有注意到質量。下面是比較好的答案:
-About your ideal kind of employer *
Well, for me, I would like to join a company where there are well-developed training programs for young people.After all, money is not higly prioritized for someone fresh from school.Rather, gaining experience and qualification would be more important.其中 In my opinion, opinion的發音有的人讀錯,重音、卷舌音亂來;As far as I'm conerned有的人說成了 as far as I am concern, 這也是錯的。
-About the place where you work or study.*
I am a student in the Renmin University and I study fianance in the School of Finance.What I am most proud of my university is the prestige, which has been built over years with joint efforts from the school administration, professors and scholars as well as from business owners....Type 2 Could you tell me
-How important you think imports are for people in your country
imports 的含義有些考生沒有理解,那就是“進口”;理解后,也有人回答的不扣題。大部分人都能想到引進先進技術,但是英文的表述欠缺,下面這個回答較好:
Needless to say, imports play an essential role in economic development of China.In 1980s, China has just started the open-door policy and imports and exports started to become more dynamic.There are three significant aspects impacted by imports.The first one is in culture.Imported TV programs from Japan, US and some European countries brighten up the TV screens.The earliest ones include A Xin, produced in Japan, which is a biography of a ternacious woman named A Xin, who thrived the ups and downs in her life through hard-working.Another one , Man fromt the Atlantis, produced in the US, is a science fiction.The 2nd aspect is in commodities.Brand names such as Maxim, a French brand, and McDonald's, the fast food chain, entred the Chinese market.Later on, a lot of other well-known big names followed suit.Lastly,new technologies in car-making, information technologies were also imported initially, though numerous solutions and innovations have been developed locally by Chinese later on.-What you think the advantages are for people in your country of spending time working abroad
這個題目許多人都能想到開闊眼界等,用詞也比較俗
Working abroad offers a variety of benefits to people in general, including the Chinese.Firslty, it allows people to get a global vision, which is an assets nowadays, when globalisation is taking place at a rapid rate.Specifically speaking, it is not uncommon to find foreign companies in China or doing business with Chinese counterparts.A global perspective will certainly help communications among multi-national team members.Secondly, people can sharpen their English language skills.Needless to say, English is the working language in the world and working in another contry enables people to get more exposure language-wise.It is obvious that the workers would use the language to serve a purpose in their job, rather than learning it from a text book.Such practice of language will certainly polish their English.Last but not least, people may understand different cultures better.When living and working abroad, people hava an opportunity to closely observe the local way of life, to be more exact, how people handle their daily tasks and how they do so differently between cultures.Something as simple as cutting a grape fruit could demonstrate such a difference.-Whether you think the use of mobile phones for business is always positive in your country
這個題目有一個陷阱:always,哪里有一成不變的事情呢?所以客觀的回答應該說手機在工作中大多數情況下是有用的,但是它也有一些不利于工作的地方。
Generally, mobile phones are quite useful in daily work.As known to all, people send text message, exchange emails and check maps on cell phones, which come in quite handy.However, I wouldn't say it is ALWAYS useful.A case in point is that when people attend meetings ,they get distracted by the messages on their cell phones, not to mention phone calls which are not urgent nor important.Besides distraction, it increases stress for cell phone users.People are on call all the time, which resulted in a dim line between life and work.By that I mean, employees are always on the work mode.Gradually, stress may lead to reduced productivity.-How important you think language training will be in your country in future
這道題很不容易答出彩,大多數人都去說成英語的培訓,而題目是討論“語言培訓”。所以,可以說中文的培訓、溝通技巧、郵件、手機短信中的語言規范化等等,甚至是商務應用文的寫作等等。
其它比較集中的問題有:
image, product的重音應該是Image, PROduct;
important 的替換詞。
此次考試答得綜合比較好的是學德語和阿拉伯語的同學,兩個男生,英語專業的只有一個還比較好,其他人距離高級的要求還有些差距。總之,在我經手的14對考生中,10對左右時通過口語考試的。

第三篇:BEC高級口語考試話題總結
1.Different Communication Styles
不同的交流風格
The way people communicate varies widely between, and even within, cultures.One aspect of communication style is language usage.Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways.For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of “yes” varies from “maybe, I'll consider it” to “definitely so,” with many shades in between.Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication.Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures;it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time.In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings.For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends.Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.2.Different Attitudes Toward Conflict
對待沖突的態度不同
Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided.In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable;but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise.In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist.In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning;as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly.A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict.3.Different Approaches to Completing Tasks
采用不同方法去完成任務
From culture to culture, there are different ways that people move toward completing tasks.Some reasons include different access to resources, different judgments of the rewards associated with task completion, different notions of time, and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together.When it comes to working together effectively on a task, cultures differ with respect to the importance placed on establishing relationships early on in the collaboration.A case in point, Asian and Hispanic cultures tend to attach more value to developing relationships at the beginning of a shared project and more emphasis on task completion toward the end as compared with Americans.Americans tend to focus immediately on the task at hand, and let relationships develop as they work on the task.This does not mean that people from any one of these cultural backgrounds are more or less committed to accomplishing the task, or value relationships more or less;it means they may pursue them differently.4.Different Decision-Making Styles
不同的做決定的風格
The roles individuals play in decision-making vary widely from culture to culture.For example, in the U.S., decisions are frequently delegated--that is, an official assigns responsibility for a particular matter to a subordinate.In many Southern European and Latin American countries, there is a strong value placed on holding decision-making responsibilities oneself.When decisions are made by groups of people, majority rule is a common approach in the U.S.;in Asia consensus is the preferred mode.Be aware that individuals' expectations about their own roles in shaping a decision may be influenced by their cultural frame of reference.5.Different Attitudes Toward Disclosure
對待披露/曝光的態度不同
In some cultures, it is not appropriate to be frank about emotions, about the reasons behind a conflict or a misunderstanding, or about personal information.Keep this in mind when you are in a dialogue or when you are working with others.When you are dealing with a conflict, be mindful that people may differ in what they feel comfortable revealing.Questions that may seem natural to you--What was the conflict about? What was your role in the conflict? What was the sequence of events?--may seem intrusive to others.The variation among cultures in attitudes toward disclosure is also something to consider before you conclude that you have an accurate reading of the views, experiences, and goals of the people with whom you are working.
第四篇:BEC高級口語總結
一、團隊合作
1.團隊合作的好處(重要性)或缺點
In a team, I can learn from my fellow workers , get help from them when I am under pressure.When you work with more people, you get a chance to listen to different points of view, to learn to see things in a different perspective.Sometimes, team membership requires you to give up some individuality in order for the team to function as a whole.Sometimes you feel your own contribution to the team cannot be measured, so you work less than you would individually.2.團隊合作的要點/特點
Mutual trust is the first secret of successful teamwork.When members share a trusting relationship, they will feel free to express their views, understand each other’s capabilities and limitations, and communicate with each other timely.This helps to bring out the potentials, experience and creativity of the individual and create good work environment.Full co-operation among team members has a direct impact on the success or failure of the team.When team members develop a strong awareness of cooperation, they would make collective efforts to achieve the common objectives and ensure a higher level of quality and workmanship.On top of that, timely communication and decision making will also help to improve work efficiency.Characteristics like mutual trust, co-operation, commitment, openness of expression among team members are essential to a good team.Besides, a team should also be clear about the common goals they aim to attain.3.怎樣形成團隊合作的文化
二、企業內部溝通
1.重要性(好處)
The employee can make suggestions to the boss about internal development, and discuss areas they can improve on.In this way, the employee can contribute to the overall improvement of the company.2.和員工溝通管理信息需考慮的要點
First of all, I think it’s important to clearly state your overall purpose and expectation.In this way, employees know exactly what they should do to meet work requirements and to achieve performance excellence.In addition to this, providing feedback on their performance is also important.On the managerial part, performance reviews help mangers to keep track of possible problems in their own work.On the part of the employees, they get encouraged for their hard work and are given chances to correct mistakes made on the job.Besides, mangers should be more open in sharing information with their subordinates.They should let employees know in advance any proposed changes before they actually occur.This will enhance mutual understanding and trust.3.與顧客溝通的必要性(好處)及如何與顧客溝通?
三、降低成本
1.控制生產成本需考慮的要點(方法)及作用
Train workers
In these days of changing technologies and methods, it is necessary to train your workers to keep them up to date.Staff training is extremely important nowadays.You see, technologies keep changing and if employees get regular training, they would be able to work more efficiently.It's the competence of the workforce that sharpens the competitive edge of the company.Get quality from suppliers Low quality goods from suppliers is a major source of waste.You should not only try to get quality suppliers but also work with your suppliers to help them improve their operations and quality of output.In cost management, it's important to cut down the cost of raw materials, as to a large extent, it helps to determine the product prices.Cost-conscious companies always seek to work with good suppliers who can offer quality raw materials with reasonable prices.Low quality materials from suppliers are actually a waste of money.Efficiency of production line is another important thing to consider.When introducing a production line, it is important to consult an ergonomics specialist and see that it's user-friendly and will not cause too much physical stress and strain.Meanwhile, workers should get fully-trained to work more efficiently on the line.Measures should also be taken to eliminate waste.On top of that, management should develop good benefits system to boost the morale of the workers.2.不恰當的控制成本的方法及危害
downsizing Some company leaders feel they can reduce costs by simply downsizing or reducing the number of workers or middle managers.Unfortunately, it’s not a proper way.One of the biggest effects of downsizing to reduce costs is that the good employees quickly leave the company for greener pastures.Thus the company is left with the deadwood employees, who are supposed to do twice the work as before.Reducing customer service Customer service can be a nuisance and is often expensive.Sometimes companies will reduce or eliminate the service they give to the customers.Unfortunately, a neglected customer is an ex-customer.Customer service can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.Good customer relationship helps to improve your company image and boost sales.As a result, large-scale production will be cost effective for your company.Cutting corners A quite way to cut costs is by cutting corners in production or service methods.Some company leaders feel that by using cheaper material and labor, and by eliminating part and steps, they can cut costs and save money.It is true that costs may be cut in the short turn, but often the product or service is of such a low quality that repair and rework costs go through the roof.Also customers may become unhappy with the low quality and move on to another supplier.四、時間管理
1.有效管理時間有多重要?
時間管理技巧:
When managing a busy schedule, time management skills are important.They are es-sential skills for effective people.Keeping To-Do lists would remind you of all essential tasks to be finished.It's a powerful method of organising yourself and a way of reducing stress.Deciding work priorities can help you concentrate on the right things which are important and urgent.Tackling problems in order of importance allows you to separate important jobs from the many time-wasting trivial ones.2.設立目標的重要性/怎樣設立目標?
設立目標的重要性:
By setting clearly-defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals and raise your self-confidence due to your achievements, ability and competence.Self-confidence, by turns, will enable you to achieve higher and more difficult goals.怎樣設立目標?
Set goals which are specific, measurable, realistic and achievable.Your optimum goals are those which cause you to ‘stretch’ but not ‘break’ as you strive for achievement.Goals can give creative people a much-needed sense of direction.3.作計劃的重要性/怎樣作計劃?
五、管理
1.團隊的核心領導的重要性
2.優秀的管理者應該具有的素質:
六、銷售
1.銷售技巧
Speak effectively and sincerely about my product or service.Learn to be a good listener because if you don’t listen to and understand the needs of buyers you can’t become a successful sales professional.Know my competitors and the merits and pitfalls of their products.A successful salesman should connect with customers and create a desire to buy him willingly and happily.2.廣告的重要性
When aiming to increase sales of a product, it's important to advertise the product because advertising can inform, persuade and remind potential customers of the product.Marketers can launch an advertising campaign to attract a large number of consumers.And, effective advertising can enhance consumer perceptions of quality in the product, thus encouraging customers to buy this product repeatedly.3.廣告媒體的選擇
The media the marketer selects must be capable of accomplishing the communications objectives of information, persuading, and reminding potential customers of the products.Broadcast media include television and radio.Newspapers, magazines, outdoor advertising represent the major types of print media.The internet is a new medium.Nowadays, many companies jump to advertise on the internet.Internet advertising can assist in raising awareness of brands, it is most successful when combined with traditional advertising such as TV or print.With more and more people using the internet, advertisements on the internet can reach large audiences.4.處理顧客投訴
When customers complain, it's important that staff should apologize first, because cus-tomers must be very upset when they are dissatisfied with the product or service, some may even be aggressive.At this time, employees should remain calm and collected, listen to the complaints and apologize for the problem, and then the customers may feel that they are taken good care of.Suggesting a solution to the problem is also important.An apology is not enough, em-ployees should also try to deal with the existing problems, if they suggest a solution to the problem, customers may not be so dissatisfied, and they may not take their business elsewhere.It's also important that employees should not make any promises that they cannot keep.If employees cannot keep promises, customers may get disappointed, then, they may switch to other producers.5.處理顧客投訴的重要性
Businesses benefit from treating complains as welcome resource and opportunities to gain innovative ideas for improvement.Customers often have stronger commitments to a company after a conflict has been solved than they would have if they had never complaint at all.Customer complaints offer organizations the opportunity to overcome problems and improve commitments to service.七、產品開發
1.市場調研
In developing new products, I think market research is very important.By carrying out market research, a company can get such information as whether there exists a niche market for a new product, and what are customers' needs and tastes for the new product, therefore, the new product will sell well when it is launched into market.2.創新
第五篇:BEC高級拿A經驗
BEC高級拿A——曬一下(有點羅嗦 以后改進哈)來源:
今天查BEC成績,哇咔咔,A了,好開心好開心!
還沒拿到成績單,不知道各部分拿分怎么樣,應宿舍美女要求,分享下復習的煎熬過程吧~ 我是三月初報的名,考5月22號的高級,復習時間大概是兩個月吧,但是因為是商務英語專業,在大一大二都學過BEC的課程,對初中高級三本書的內容都挺了解,基礎還是夠用的。所以復習階段就省略了自學課本這個最令人望而生畏的起步期。
------
首先是書、復習資料,我用的是經濟科學出版社的書,市面上還有其他版本的我沒有買,因為BEC培訓的老師都說,經科版的書本topic全面,詞匯跟考試用的比較貼近,而且排版好看(個人覺得還是花哨了點),要是只用一套書,就買經科的咯。復習資料,我是真題集二三四都要了,每本四套題,兩個月用,到最后兩個星期還是會覺得沒題做心里不踏實。嗯,還有一本我覺得非常非常有用的,就是中高級口語訓練,藍色封皮厚厚的忘了什么版,里面各種topic詞匯、背景知識、考點方向、例子、解釋、考題模擬題都有,除了練口語好用讀寫都很適合參考。(我不是推銷啦,是真的好用,這里隆重感謝借我這本書的Sam哥!)聽力資料嘛,教材跟真題都有配套,有些是另外要加錢才給的,建議網上找一下,或者是考完了的友情共享。
------
好了,煎熬過程公開,聽說讀寫分開說:
聽力
BEC聽力很好聽,純英式發音,呵呵,不過剛開始做題時那個滿江紅很挫人。做了一套題對了答案后是個最重要的時候,聽力提高就靠這了。看著題目再聽幾遍,聽到每個詞每個句子都知道說什么了,有不懂的才看script,確定細節比如說詞的拼寫或者是topic或對話的流向。要是一開始就看詞就永遠沒這效果。
聽力第一部分是填詞,這個有人說最難,但是我覺得提高挺快的。
第一個關鍵是要掃視一下說的什么topic,是介紹產品呢,介紹人呢,公司呢還是類似演講的。不同形式不同的話語流向,這個跟中文的思維流向差不多。通常題目的排版都挺容易把握,一個語段填一個空,當然有遇到比較變態的,先填第三個空然后倒回去說第二個空的內容,這個折騰倒了不少人,但是有第二次機會嘛,補上就好,而且只要前面的掃視清晰了,思維穩定也不怕這損招。英國人還是比較直接,絕大部分情況平鋪直敘,不像國人彎彎繞,套話一串。
第二個關鍵點是劃出空格線前后的內容詞,因為題目本來就短短一句話,這一劃就出來了,主要是聽的時候不要等著一模一樣的詞蹦出來,那是中級的水平。(初級是句子完全一樣,中級是句子意思一樣,內容詞一樣,要填的詞一樣,但是句式變一變。要填的詞出現的位置不同,高級是前后內容詞也會變的,同義詞、近義詞的變換,名詞變動詞變形容詞變副詞這個,看著糾結,真的練其實不難)所以呢,在后來看script的時候,可以將原文的句子與題目句式和內容詞對比著看,總結近義詞的對應,這樣做兩三套題就習慣了這種變化了。我個人錯比較多的是細節,就是有復數沒復數啊,中間有沒有連詞符啊,詞拼錯了啊這些低級錯誤,聽第二次的時候改正就ok了。
聽力第二部分是比較麻煩,難度浮動大啊,有時候題目容易得第一次就全部選到了,有時候完全不知所云,這跟topic 的熟悉度很大關聯,看書本吧。
嗯,千萬別第一眼就看選項,要先知道人家準備說啥啦,看題目,同樣是員工問題,人家是說員工意見還是員工辭職原因還是招聘職位還是什么,兩個問題的大方向看了才做得了題。然后就是劃關鍵詞咯,第二部分語句更短,劃一個詞就好啦,過猶不及。不用細看,兩片選
項都瞄到就好。最妙的就是看得出兩片的關聯啦,比如上面選項說研發部門下面選項說產品技術那這兩個大概有貓膩,聽的時候可以關注一下。聽力開始后不要急著選,很多時候都開頭說一事后面轉方向的,保守一點聽完再選第一片的選項,當然有比較順的可以看看在第二片哪個比較像,這個不強求,到復習后期我還是有時自作聰明第一次選第二次知錯要改的。要是聽了第一次后沒選出沒事,有標注幫忙還有第二次機會。要是語篇太難總體沒把握好就抓詞吧,千萬別空,笨死了。
第二部分。。嗯,特別適合睡前聽,人平靜了聽得出第一片第二片選項是怎樣相連的,這樣練比較好提高。
第三部分,這個好把握,題型從小做到大,而且兩人對話,多數是對話一次就選一題,按部就班層次分明,難度在于準備時間要把題目看完最好把選項看完劃了重點詞再呼吸均勻一下。本人善忘,聽一半了后面忘光,要邊聽邊重新看題,還好有第二遍核對。------
閱讀
第一部分句子與段配對。這個我跟老師的方法不同。老師說先看段再看句,我是先劃了句子的關鍵詞,大概明了句子說啥,再看段,邊劃關鍵詞邊配了最可能的一到兩個句子。嗯,一段通常配一兩個句子,有出現配三個的,少見。要是第一次配對還有句子剩了就看關鍵詞,哪個比較主流比較共同就哪個,像看對象一樣的,第一感覺沒找著就客觀點找共通點咯,但是嚴重反對一夫多妻一妻多夫。。好吧我跑題了。第一部分不用糾結太久,時間緊迫啊,后面的題簡單點,好拿分。要是做完卷子有時間再回來殺過。
第二部分,也是難度浮動大的。老師教的是先看文章再看選項句,我還是貪懶,看句子先,短嘛好劃點。注意猜測句子的語境,要是有語氣明顯,如問句啊,但是啊,首先啊,總結,比較啊,因為所以啊那就最好辦了,還有注意代詞,this,these,his,their,絕對要劃。讀文章先看題目,這是掌握topic最基本又容易忽略的。。第一段沒東西看啦我通常跳,速讀好的同學這里占優了,刷一下就全文把握,要是沒練到的也有門路,看空格線前后,要是前面問問題了那選項中有因為那句大概站著沒錯,要是說某人或者某些人了,選項中有人稱代詞的可以優先考慮。這一部分文章流向清晰的話一次選好,最怕就是邏輯不清加選項意思模糊。(所以大家想想作文分段和加上because,consequently,in addition點明邏輯多重要,考官閱卷也是在做速讀呢。)第二部分一下子沒做好就更不要堅持了,最多看三次,不行就撤。
第三第四部分從小做到大,不說了。
第五部分考基本功,填小詞,跟商務沒多大關系。
第六部分改錯,大概有一兩題沒錯,說白了就是挑人家的刺,難度不大。多做幾套題就知道,虛詞代詞和詞組搭配是集中點。
所以說,閱讀是先難后易,別糾結在前面,把后邊的分穩穩收入囊更賺咧。
寫作
第一篇,報告,就兩種流向,比較型和描述趨勢型。
看圖說話的能力咯,橫向對比縱向對比,兩種數據之間的關聯,要是三種數據就麻煩點,因為字數有限制往往壓不住。。最簡單的準備就是積累對比詞咯,while,however,but,as well,或者長一點的 simultaneously 之類的刺激一下眼球亮一亮詞匯量。還有描述趨勢的上升,下降,高位平臺,高開低走,觸底反彈,慘淡收尾這些詞很常用,離不開的,記得書本有一課專門說這些詞,夠用了。
抓字數很重要!練羅列內容做兩三套就有進步了,但是取舍哪里簡略哪里詳細難多了,太簡略了完全沒重點分不高,具體描述多了超字數,我就特佩服培訓班的那個老師,直接輸入電腦不刪節,一停手就是135到142個字之間,神啊!
還有必須注意的是數據間的對比和聯系,一整篇連接點兩個夠了,對比挺耗詞的,所以我特別怕三種數據對比。。具體這個說不清了,多看4分5分的范文咯。
第二篇 report 或 proposal 或letter。
其實就兩種啦,report跟proposal一樣的。。letter就寫過一次,發覺主觀東西有點多,語氣啊,禮貌啊,就不選了。。少練一種也算是省時間的好方法。
不過愛寫letter的也挺容易,因為不是投訴就是回應投訴,詞匯來來去去就那些,具體內容照套好啦。
說起具體內容,對于我們沒有實戰經驗,對工業醫學生物學大小范疇沒啥認識的學生來說,要是內容要專業化一點的就不要亂寫,就算不寫錯,在表面浮著說不到專業點上分還是不高。當然太專的話題不多,只要教材自學好了,產品研發宣傳、人力資源、工作環境等大塊的抓緊了解深透一點就夠用了。我先前說的藍色封皮厚厚的口語書好就好在這一點,topic超多內容都列點了清晰易背,寫作復習也離不開它。
Report跟proposal是叫法不同,格式都差不多,相信大家看出來了,很容易練。格式就看范文,內容看教材看藍色封皮口語書加上多聽聽力資料,積累起來不難。第二篇的字數沒有第一篇的緊,因為格式會有占行,不容易顯多。我寫完之后赫然發現怎么這么長,害怕大面積扣分膽戰心驚到方才看成績。。不過還是嚴守字數比較好啦。

口語
說起口語大家覺得沒把握,其實沒有這么嚇人~~~
首先是口語基礎咯,語音和流暢度,語法也是老師比較容易聽出端倪的基礎面。這個。。大家既然報高級,對自己應該有客觀認識和足夠信心啦。嘻嘻,小曬一下老師說我的語音和語速控制一聽就知道是練過的,哇咔咔,自滿ing~~
。。還是分一下部分吧。
第一部分重點是別緊張,考官特別理解咱小鹿亂撞,所以都很慈祥,說話特溫柔,給你念題目也是慢慢的,眼神還帶笑~這一部分就是為了讓你冷靜下來,和聽一下你的語音語調語法,還有就是習慣你的口音。。問題不外乎什么名字什么專業工作未來有什么規劃興趣是啥這些咯,不緊張人人都說得上,但是我模擬考partner的美女緊張到問她什么專業都楞了,后來說是英語專業的讓老師臉上都有黑線了。另一個極端就是侃侃而談。不需要~第一部分三兩句好了,讓老師打斷你說話就算不影響分數都影響情緒啦。
第二部分,這是最靠腦力的時候,看topic寫point加組織語言,就是腦子里的存貨問題和腦袋轉速,topic 的多少絕對影響分數,看那本藍色XXX書口語示范的說三個point每個point兩句話加上開頭總結在一分鐘完成。。。這是不可能的,我光讀時間就緊了,唯一有這個完美傾向的是咱Miss Lu 芬姐~~~這恐怖的家伙。我大概說兩個point,語速自然,上er。加上翻眼和傻笑,加上最后自以為果斷收尾,也就一分鐘了。但是也得有point。。建議口語練習一開始就訓練說一個point,自圓其說就好多少句都行,然后約束時間,對自己嚴厲點,規定一個point說兩句話句子大概幾秒說完也數一下。
第二部分是要對partner提問題的,所以無論是先說還是后說,都要留意對方說啥了。這就開始關系到你跟partner的熟悉程度,要是練習時有一定認識,知道ta說話有沒有邏輯性怎樣啊,重點在前還是在后,就比較省腦力咯。如果你自己說完了或者對自己的topic很有信心那當然是全程仔細聽ta說,但是這么牛不容易,大多會惦記自己那份,或者像我那樣會晃神,那就只能在開頭聽懂一句比較好問的然后慢慢想個簡單但不弱智的問題咯。有同學會糾結在問什么問題然后半天問不出,不需要,這部分讓你開口只是表明你剛才腦袋沒放空,問題不要太難,要不partner會恨死你的。。。還有人家回答完之后可以說聲謝
謝,比較傲有禮貌而且跟ta有交流了氣氛放松點,另一方面,回答partner問題也要注意,不用太長,一兩句就好。要不又被打斷了。
第三部分兩人對話,這個也是有point至上!話題流向已經給出了,內容你就多想一兩個point,說不夠三分鐘很影響分數,因為老師覺得你對商務話題了解不多,還得費神給你找問題塞滿三分鐘,但是要注意不能在第一個提示話題停太久,一個人要掌握話題流動,這個可以練習的時候就決定誰做開頭轉折結尾。。。開頭不要太長,背景介紹一兩句好了,直接切入,一次說一個point然后非常明顯得拋給對方,或者用眼神肢體表示該你說咯,一定要夠明顯,記住對話流暢度大于一切,尤其是考官已經面了n對學生,沒啥心思聽內容的時候,你就算重復觀點甚至說I am a pig他們都未必有感覺,但是一停了他們怎么不察覺呢對不對。同樣道理,只要鎮定一點,沒point了就正說反說舉例子甚至重復都好,樣子保持積極愉快的樣子就好混過去了。很多同學考完后都覺得沒有想象的恐怖,這是絕對的真理。嗯嗯,隆重感謝我的partner乙輝同學,我練習的全程抓狂沒幾個人能扛得住,沒有你就沒有我的A 啊~~~

還有。。
1重復一下,topic要熟悉,一個topic在四種題型能無限轉換,寫作和口語可以在另外兩part的資料里面找到很多點子和表達方法。都說聽力難,多聽就不難了。(我愛英式口音!)盡量多找題目做,但是真題數量有限,定好做的頻率就不至于最后沒題做心慌慌了。4 同義詞啊,寫作常用詞啊,商務高級詞啊,找到了就多看兩遍,三兩天翻一翻沒有多難吧。。
耶~~終于寫完,考過了的跟我吃餃子去!!
