第一篇:口试部分,有关于口试号的研究和分数的研究&总结
厚脸皮之三-----上海市中高级口译考试蒙混过关之方法完整篇(口试部分,有关于口试号的研究和分数的研究&总结)~~最终回啦来源: 崔百贺的日志
呵呵,如果你过了笔试,那么恭喜你了~~~继续努力,奋斗口试哦!如果你还考的话,这个也能帮到你的笔试的~~~ 恩~~~先给大家来点信心:同学们,不要相信口试不可能一次过的神话!那是老师吓你们呢!我很多同学(包括我啦,当然)都是一次过的,高口也可以一次过的!也不要相信口译口试不是人考的这种说法,因为其实有心做就不难的。(我还是人啊,所以强烈证明,是人考的!)
再给大家推荐本书:新东方中高口口试必备(我不是新东方的学生啊,怎么一天到晚在给他们做广告?!说明很有用咯~~)额。。先讲讲那个上外的那个随口试报名通知一起寄来的让你参加他们口译培训班的通知吧。注意是笔试考试通过之后才会收到的培训通知,同学们不要搞混咯!(同学们,我果然是培训班小白鼠啊!)我觉得呢(上外的口译办,表打我啊!)没多大意思,他们把你们拉去,其实就是上2个小时(没记错的话)的课,跟你讲怎么算分(要省钱的看我的日志啊!),题型是什么样的,最后呢再给你试一下翻译。(当然不会是一对一的试考啦!其实就是自己翻一下,老师再集体讲)而且教室环境也不好,人又多又吵,位子还要自己先到先占~~(额,还是帮上外说句好话吧)但是,那个讲讲座的老师还是蛮可爱,蛮搞笑的,如果你想去领略一下他的幽默,可以去报名,还有如果你还不放心那算分的事情的话,也可以去参加~~(我是不推荐啦,中口的时候去了一次,没多大意思,高口就死也不去了~~)好啦,给大家详细讲下那个讲座的大致内容吧~(考试流程大家清楚不?上来先跟老师说:My Name is。。My Registry Number is。。然后说My Topic is。。就可以开始啦,和蔼一点的考官呢会提醒你开始的,遇到脾气不好的,哎~~就靠自己啦,我中口的时候遇到个脾气差的,连是不是可以开始了,都要我自己问他~~不过不要让考官影响你的心情哦,自己好好发挥就好,遇到和蔼的,就开心吧,遇到脸很臭的,就当他不存在,呵呵~~)会有两个录音机,一个给你放录音,一个录你的答案~~两个老师评分~(看到这个我还是有点小紧张的,大家就当它们是空气吧~~)先讲讲分数怎么算吧,我想大家都很关心这个~
先是口语部分,当然要流利,不偏题啦,同学们注意了,口语是必须过的,如果你的口语失败的话,接下去,也不用考了,就直接当掉了!所以不要紧张,这部分好好表现,轻轻松松的,就当warm up咯~~
讲下口语评分标准吧:流利度第一!Pronunciation:acceptable就可以了,何谓acceptablene呢?就是不要有严重的口音,发音错误就好了,英式音还是美式音,随便你啦,关键是单词要讲对!然后呢,语法基本正确,内容基本相关就可以了!可以有合理停顿(要求不高吧)
接着呢,就要进入翻译部分啦
中口是16个句子,中译英,英译中对半开,你可以完全翻不出,或完全翻错5句(条件还是可以的~~~)高口是8个长句,中译英,英译中一样对半开,老师的评分单上会把每句话拆成两句来评的,所以还是一样16个,有5次完全翻不出,或完全翻错的机会。(够了,够了~~相信我,老师还算客气的)
中高口都是先放磁带,然后“嘟”一声,你就可以开始翻了,抓紧时间咯!再“嘟”一声之后,就要停下,接着翻下一句了!所以千万抓紧时间吧,不在时间内翻完,就要扣分咯!~中口的的翻译时间大概是20~30秒,高口大概是30~40秒。在详细一下评分标准(所谓“Important Criteria”)
Completeness(翻译的完整性)2/3以上翻出来,错译漏译少于1/3 Accuracy(准确性)基本准确(这个很重要的~~)
Fluency(所谓流利度)其实就是要你在规定的时间内完成翻译~~注意掌握速度,一半来说不可能提前很多翻完,提前很多翻完,你就要考虑考虑,有没有翻译完全了!~ 好吧,再教教大家,如何偷看老师的评分单(我考的时候都有偷瞄过,有两个最后发现我在看,把评分表遮起来了(不厚道~~),其他几个,都有让我看到啦~~)老师的评分表呢,分成16个小格格~~他会根据你的翻译情况打“勾勾”、“叉叉”、“1 /2”、“1/3”、“2/3“、“1/4”之类的,我们一个个看:打勾勾的,恭喜你,这句话你翻得很好,通过啦;”*/*“呢就是你这句话只完成 “*/*”,庆幸吧,至少有翻出来,而且老师手比较松~~当然要注意了,后面的句子要加油哦;最后打叉叉的,同学,很不幸,你这句话,一点分都没拿到,不过还有机会,那就是想办法不要让叉叉满5个!
恩,以上是评分!~~接下来关照大家一句,就像笔试蒙、猜也一定要涂满一样,口译也是,切忌“一言不发”这是考官们最恨的了!如果你真的没听明白,或者没听清,那就请你根据上下文推断,给我编!!为什么死也要说话呢?告诉大家一个真实的故事,你就知道说话,给反应的重要性了~~我的雅思口语老师是口译考试的考官而且做了很多年了,她跟我们说,有一次她去当考官,有个学生前面14句都翻得很好,甚至可以说是完美,但是到最后2句的时候,他也不知道是吃错药了还是怎么了,居然一句话都没说,结果咧,他没有过!照那个5句的上限,他可以过啊,为什么呢?就是因为他一句话都没说,这个是考官或者说是口译考试最忌讳的了!所以说,千万要说话&给反应!(额。写的我两眼发直了,晕了晕了~~~)
继续,接下来讲什么呢?我想想,磨蹭一会~~ 恩,讲讲怎么准备口试吧,大家会想要听的吧~~
当你报完名之后到正式考试的时候,中口会有3个星期左右的时间,高口就比较短只有2个星期左右,所以同学们,再懒,这个时候也要打起精神来,要对得起自己的笔试和人民币啊!(口试很贵的!中口180,高口220,我当时两个都报了,就是400啊~~)再次声明,以下内容致基础较好,且较懒的孩子们,如果你很勤奋,不用我说你能做的也很多,而且如果你想学到真材实料的话,也要慢慢积累咯!
口语部分,我认为,没什么好准备的,关注一下时事,了解一下热点,练练发音,流利度就可以了,找点课文读读,呵呵~~(因为个人口语还可以的,所以没啥准备所以建议口语好的同学,不要浪费时间,多看口译部分吧!)中口的同学们,我给一个3周复习计划(再懒也要认真做哦,我够懒了,也做下来了!):第一周:熟悉复习单词~~(还是老样子,新东方中高口词汇必备,广告飘过~~)希望大家自己安排,好好看完它,不要求你都记住,但至少要有印象,而且我所谓的印象可不是看到时候能想起来哦,而是:听到,可以知道!希望大家熟悉这些单词的读音,发音,因为考试的时候毕竟还是要靠耳朵给反应!
第二周:看口译书(就是那一套书里的口译部分)本周是你的实验课~~看书的时候,请你运用上周看到的单词,(老话:会用才是自己的)尝试自己看到之后,快速反应出来它的意思,然后再看书后的解释,寻找“差距”,呵呵~~~不懂的单词记一下,老样子熟悉读音。时间紧张的同学,你们可以忽略后面的口译练习部分,看主要课文就好了,可能会有差不多的东西出现在考试中哦~~~所以还是可以套词、套句,考试的时候这招很好用,既可以达到准确度,又可以有速度。(想开场白之类的,都是长出现的套词,尤其是中译英,大家知道的,中国人官话套路都差不多的)懒人们要自己动动脑筋找套路咯~~
第三周:实践课啦!大家会喜欢这一周的~~(虽然开始的时候有点痛苦)恩恩~~刚才讲到的那本“新东方中高口口试必备”这时候就该登场啦!~~如果你没买的话,也不要紧,去网上下载吧,历届的真题~~不过一定要文字和音频一起下啊!我们要音频有用的!好啦,这周很关键哦~~让你有点实战的感觉。这周你要做的很简单,把那个20个单元的真题听完!当然不是单纯的听。首先请你不要看原文。听的时候就像实际考试一样,给自己限定翻译时间,练习自己的笔记系统,就像实际考试一样。结束一篇之后,再去看原文和答案,看原文里有没有不认识的单词,有没有不会翻的,看答案的翻法,学习一下。开始可能会觉得跟不上,不要泄气,到大概10篇的时候就会好很多了,做完之后,会很有成就感的。实在坚持不下去的时候,可以小小偷下懒~~嘿嘿~~对了,可以留个一两篇不做,空着,等考试那天候场的时候再当warm up做~~心理素质差的这个就算了,我不想把你们搞得很紧张~~
中口就这样,具体大家可以根据自己情况,考试时间安排啦!~~
高口的同学们,我给个2周计划(因为高口准备时间很短,有可能还不到两周~~)第一周:看单词+看口译书(材料同中口的~~)我建议大家来不及的话,看书的时候就注意一下单词什么的,学起来,那样的话单词书就找几个重点看就好!~~(本人因为中高口一路上来,所以再准备高口的时候,单词虽然没记住什么,也没怎看啦,就凭那点印象就去考了,但是我有记得常用词哦~~比如“和谐社会”、“小康社会”之类的~~方法一样:请熟悉发音,靠耳朵去反应!看书的方法跟中口一样,尝试自己翻翻看,运用!运用!第二周:高口的同学,请直接进入实践课,因为你们没时间再做实验啦!请你们把属于你们的高口口试历届真题做完,买书的同学方便一点,没书的同学,下载吧,有的~方法和中口一样,实战!(不在写了,自己回上去看吧,我眼睛都写得直了!~)好啦,准备方法讲完,讲讲我们投机的方法吧!~~
首先,笔记方法,我个人还是倾向于自己开发一套适合你自己的方法,因为这样比较容易上手,也比较方便,当然已经会那个什么“新东方口译符号”的同学们,就请你们多用用吧!千万不要贪多,还是理解为主,笔记为辅!
然后,考试的时候,遇到成语什么的怎么办?——淡定,老样子,根据中文意思,用你知道的词汇表达出来,当然如果你背到过并且记得,那就请你用原文!关于套词,套句。(这个是口译老师建议的吧~~)一般考试时有很多都是可以套句的!比如什么:我很荣幸代表。。在此发言;在这个**的时刻。。;我想对**致以我最真诚的感谢;之类的都可以套用书上的话!
再来,侧重点。中口内容其实比较多变诶~~很注重比较生活化的东西(老师说的),高口的内容反而比较死,多数都是政治、经济、文化类的,而且很多都能套用哦~~
准备口语的时候(会事先有5分钟准备的)写一点关键词在纸上,记一下,写多了也没用,进去考官要收掉的,白写!写下你要说的主要意思,用关键词记一下,到时候串起来就好了。(锻炼自己的发散性思维,比如讲到,Icecream就可以想到kids,sweet,summer,cool,hot,fat,slim之类的,然后这几个词就可以串成句子啦~~孩子喜欢吃Icecream,因为sweet,夏天的时候因为很热所以很多人都喜欢吃,可以觉得cool,但是它有很多fat,如果你不想变胖就少吃吧之类的~~)这方法很实用
好吧,再来说说口试号。当大家去考试的时候呢,会给大家分组,从第一组到第N组,中口每组20个人,高口每组10个(似乎是的)简单的说吧:如果拿到口试号末尾是5以后的还有0的同学们你们要做好心理准备,你们会等很久,高口口试号末尾是0的同学尤其注意,你多数是最后一个(因为我就是!等了4个小时啊!~~)不过呢,后面一点也未必不好啊,我最后一个进去考的时候,老师把走廊灯都关了,两考官根本没什么心思听了,容易混一下,哈哈~~
最后,提醒大家一句,口头禅不要多,不是英语的语气词不要出现啊,给考官很不好的印象的!~~那时候去上上外的培训的时候,老师讲个笑话(大家轻松下啦~~),说有一同学去考,口头禅特厉害,喜欢讲“个么”,于是他是这样考试的:today my topic is....个么i think it is个么very good...然后口语做完,他就当掉了,为什么?考官问他:why do you put so much 个么in your topic?他搞笑的来了句:i didn't put any 个么in my topic!(这仁兄语法还不错嘛,还记得用过去时~~)好啦口试关键:几个C,牢记咯!~~ Concentration(confidence)Comprehension
Culture background/Common sense(是叫你口语的时候不要乱说啦~~)
Constant readjustment(翻译时要不断调整,一旦发现错,赶快改,抓住名词哦!)就这样,努力一定会有回报的,如果你时间充足,做这些,你会觉得很轻松地,如果时间紧张,做这些,也是来得及的!
给自己个目标吧,会容易点,没那么苦,我那时候高口口试之前,给自己给目标:我一定要一次过!然后就马力全开,呵呵,很认真哦~~
口试不能再偷懒咯,要加油!而且我这个计划,也不算很苛刻吧,我自己做下来觉得还算轻松的~~
最后的最后,祝想考的同学们,都能轻松地“混”过去咯~~加油吧!有问题的留言,我尽量抽空解答(自恋一下,呵呵~~)
第二篇:酒店语言表达口试总结
《酒店语言表达训练》课程口试总结
语言表达是人们生活和学习交流的重要手段,而较高的酒店语言表达水平是提供优质服务的重要手段。新生入学正是培养酒店语言表达能力的最佳时期,通过本学期酒店管理专业《酒店语言表达训练》课程教学及口试,取得较好的教学效果,现总结如下:
一、要凭借高职改革新教材,加强学生平时的语言表达训练
利用高职改革新教材训练酒店管理专业新生的语言表达是很有效的办法。高职改革新教材对学生进行语言表达训练提供了编排人物对话交际的训练项目。为此,我认为教师在教学中,要尽量让学生积极主动地参与语言表达实践。
二、要创设交际情境,进行酒店语言表达训练
生动、逼真的情境创设极富感染性,能够调动学生内在真实的情感体验,激发他们表达的强烈欲望。我们要在课内外创设多种多样的交际情境,让每个学生无拘无束地进行语言表达。这是语言表达训练的一条重要途径。根据酒店管理专业能力的要求,在课堂教学中,应针对酒店行业工作实际,通过创设情境让学生参与,引起学生语言交际的欲望,激发他们语言交际的热情。
三、要组织社会实践活动,强化语言训练
学生的语言能力真正得到培养,必须依赖于社会实践,而形成口语交际能力后,最终又要走向社会。因此,语言能力的培养要与社会实践结合起来进行。教师可选择一些酒店管理专业学生在工学交替过程中碰到的实例讲给学生听,要求他们把故事完整地复述出来,或教师必须把复述的内容理出一条清晰的线索让学生沿着这条线索,抓住故事主要内容进行复述。这样有助于加强学生听的训练,提高学生的语言表达能力和记忆力。
四、挖掘有利因素,加强语言训练
从自我体验中引说。体验是一个人在参与实践活动中引起的一系列感受,它能引发强烈的表达欲望。如:买东西是学生都经历过的事,让学生以模拟购买谈过程、谈感受,这样就把学生的生活与说话训练有机地联系起来,学生不仅能说,而且还善于发挥。还可以让学生模拟表演问路、借东西、接待客人,开展 “传话”等学生喜闻乐见的游戏和竞赛活动。学生在玩中学说,兴趣盎然,轻松愉快,真正做到“我口说我心”。学生在双向互动的训练中,不仅学会了应用礼貌用语,思维与口语交谈能力也得到同步提高。
五、模拟酒店工作场景,努力提高学生的表达和交际能力
主要采用模拟酒店岗位具体工作场景的方式,训练酒店岗位语言表达和交际能力。
总之,语言训练贵在实践,只要我们遵循学生的心理特点和语言学习的规律,课内、课外相结合,努力提高对学生说话能力培养的意识,就一定能收到良好的效果。

第四篇:二年级语文口试总结
二年级语文口试总结 低年段语文口试活动是一种发展性评价,根本目的是促进学生达到目标,而不是检查和评比。口试考查能够弥补传统笔试的一些不足,对学生的考查更趋于全面,有利于促进学生的全面发展。
口试能够对学生每个方面的发展情况作出评价。学生各个方面的发展是不平衡的,有的长于表达,有的长于记忆,有的长于逻辑推理,有的长于空间想象,这些特长在笔试中得不到鲜明的反映,而口试考查能够将不同的内容分别进行考查,较好地解决教师因材施教、面向全体的问题。更能够让学生把自己优势和特长展示出来,使他们明白自己的优势所在和最有前途的发展方向,进而有意识、有选择地发展自己的语文特长,对于培养“合格+特长”的人才是十分有益的。
此次口试考查实验的内容包括以下两部分。
(1)口语交际
①听话:包括听说词语、听句子复述及回答提问、听一段话回答问题。②说话:包括根据实际说话、看图说话、用给定的词语说话、围绕主题说话、据情境说话。
(2)诵读
①朗读:包括课内文章、课外读物。
②背诵:课内要求背诵的内容、课外要求背诵的古诗。
低年级还有对课内外识字量的测试。
在考评的过程中,我们也做了比较细致的工作。具体工作如下:各班学生以小组为单位到相应考点,学生到位后,考评老师按考核名单点名考核,并且根据情况记录、评价。首先由学生抽签朗读、口语作品,并三分钟准备,前面一名学生准备完毕,后一名学生抽签并上交考核成绩表;接着,由前一名学生进行朗读、口语考核,而再由后一名学生做好准备。
通过口试提高学生的朗读和口语水平。提高了学生的学习兴趣,鼓励学生提高自身的朗读和口语水平。朗读和口语训练,对培养学生的语感,提高学生的思维和写作能力都有较大的帮助。
经过本次口试,我更大程度上了解了学生在认知与诵读方面的不同差异,一定程度上,该次口试也基本反映了学生在平时的识记与课外积累方面所体现的差距。真正客观的口试考查结果摆在了每一个学生面前。也是我自己认识到在平时的课堂教学中要注意规范学生口头语言。由于小学生生活经历少,口语能力较弱,无论口语交际的内容、方式和语言形式都较生疏,也欠缺良好的交际态度和听说习惯。教师在教学中一定要注意听学生说话。随时规范学生的口头语言。教师的指导主要在两个方面;一是努力调动学生生活与语言积累,在此基础上,根据需要适当提示、补充或指导搜集一些有关交际内容方面的材料和语言材料;如以游戏为交际内容补充、搜集一些游戏方式方法材料,以讲礼貌为交际内容提示一些礼貌语言材料等……优秀者,满意了;平庸者,默言了。

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
