口试考官:2010年BEC高级口语考试经验小结
来源:BEC之家 【牵手考试大,成功你我他】 2010年8月5日
炎热的5月,见证了BEC高级考生挥汗如雨的奋战。我在北外考场以口语考官的身份,考差了14对、28人的高级口语。下面是一些点评。
问过姓名之后,就是Where are you from?
这道题,我的考场都是正确反应:
I am from Sichuan, China.其它考场有的人说I'm from Ren Min University.答成了自己的学校。
第一部分有两套题,其中那个第一套题和去年一样,没有变化:
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.*
其中画有*的题目有的考生没有理解。ideal kind of employer不一定需要考生是有工作的,因为它在问 “你理想的雇主具有哪些特点”,即使是在校生,也可以发表自己的意见、有的可说;学习或工作的地方,有的人没有思路,有的人有思路但是调理不清楚,用词也没有注意到质量。下面是比较好的答案:
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 的含义有些考生没有理解,那就是“进口”;理解后,也有人回答的不扣题。大部分人都能想到引进先进技术,但是英文的表述欠缺,下面这个回答较好:
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
这个题目许多人都能想到开阔眼界等,用词也比较俗
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
这个题目有一个陷阱:always,哪里有一成不变的事情呢?所以客观的回答应该说手机在工作中大多数情况下是有用的,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
这道题很不容易答出彩,大多数人都去说成英语的培训,而题目是讨论“语言培训”。所以,可以说中文的培训、沟通技巧、邮件、手机短信中的语言规范化等等,甚至是商务应用文的写作等等。
其image, 它比较product的重
集中
音应该的是
问题有Image, PROduct
:
;
important 的替换词。
此次考试答得综合比较好的是学德语和阿拉伯语的同学,两个男生,英语专业的只有一个还比较好,其他人距离高级的要求还有些差距。总之,在我经手的14对考生中,10对左右时通过口语考试的。
第二篇:BEC高级口语2010年考试经验小结(考官点评版,值得一看)
炎热的5月,见证了BEC高级考生挥汗如雨的奋战。我在北外考场以口语考官的身份,考差了14对、28人的高级口语。下面是一些点评。

第三篇:BEC高级口语考试话题总结
1.Different Communication Styles
不同的交流风格
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
对待冲突的态度不同
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务
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
不同的做决定的风格
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
对待披露/曝光的态度不同
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高级口语总结
一、团队合作
1.团队合作的好处(重要性)或缺点
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.团队合作的要点/特点
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.怎样形成团队合作的文化
二、企业内部沟通
1.重要性(好处)
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.和员工沟通管理信息需考虑的要点
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.与顾客沟通的必要性(好处)及如何与顾客沟通?
三、降低成本
1.控制生产成本需考虑的要点(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.不恰当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、时间管理
1.有效管理时间有多重要?
时间管理技巧:
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.设立目标的重要性/怎样设立目标?
设立目标的重要性:
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.怎样设立目标?
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.作计划的重要性/怎样作计划?
五、管理
1.团队的核心领导的重要性
2.优秀的管理者应该具有的素质:
六、销售
1.销售技巧
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.广告的重要性
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.广告媒体的选择
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.处理顾客投诉
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.处理顾客投诉的重要性
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、产品开发
1.市场调研
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.创新
第五篇:BEC高级拿A经验
BEC高级拿A——晒一下(有点罗嗦 以后改进哈)来源:
今天查BEC成绩,哇咔咔,A了,好开心好开心!
还没拿到成绩单,不知道各部分拿分怎么样,应宿舍美女要求,分享下复习的煎熬过程吧~ 我是三月初报的名,考5月22号的高级,复习时间大概是两个月吧,但是因为是商务英语专业,在大一大二都学过BEC的课程,对初中高级三本书的内容都挺了解,基础还是够用的。所以复习阶段就省略了自学课本这个最令人望而生畏的起步期。
------
首先是书、复习资料,我用的是经济科学出版社的书,市面上还有其他版本的我没有买,因为BEC培训的老师都说,经科版的书本topic全面,词汇跟考试用的比较贴近,而且排版好看(个人觉得还是花哨了点),要是只用一套书,就买经科的咯。复习资料,我是真题集二三四都要了,每本四套题,两个月用,到最后两个星期还是会觉得没题做心里不踏实。嗯,还有一本我觉得非常非常有用的,就是中高级口语训练,蓝色封皮厚厚的忘了什么版,里面各种topic词汇、背景知识、考点方向、例子、解释、考题模拟题都有,除了练口语好用读写都很适合参考。(我不是推销啦,是真的好用,这里隆重感谢借我这本书的Sam哥!)听力资料嘛,教材跟真题都有配套,有些是另外要加钱才给的,建议网上找一下,或者是考完了的友情共享。
------
好了,煎熬过程公开,听说读写分开说:
听力
BEC听力很好听,纯英式发音,呵呵,不过刚开始做题时那个满江红很挫人。做了一套题对了答案后是个最重要的时候,听力提高就靠这了。看着题目再听几遍,听到每个词每个句子都知道说什么了,有不懂的才看script,确定细节比如说词的拼写或者是topic或对话的流向。要是一开始就看词就永远没这效果。
听力第一部分是填词,这个有人说最难,但是我觉得提高挺快的。
第一个关键是要扫视一下说的什么topic,是介绍产品呢,介绍人呢,公司呢还是类似演讲的。不同形式不同的话语流向,这个跟中文的思维流向差不多。通常题目的排版都挺容易把握,一个语段填一个空,当然有遇到比较变态的,先填第三个空然后倒回去说第二个空的内容,这个折腾倒了不少人,但是有第二次机会嘛,补上就好,而且只要前面的扫视清晰了,思维稳定也不怕这损招。英国人还是比较直接,绝大部分情况平铺直叙,不像国人弯弯绕,套话一串。
第二个关键点是划出空格线前后的内容词,因为题目本来就短短一句话,这一划就出来了,主要是听的时候不要等着一模一样的词蹦出来,那是中级的水平。(初级是句子完全一样,中级是句子意思一样,内容词一样,要填的词一样,但是句式变一变。要填的词出现的位置不同,高级是前后内容词也会变的,同义词、近义词的变换,名词变动词变形容词变副词这个,看着纠结,真的练其实不难)所以呢,在后来看script的时候,可以将原文的句子与题目句式和内容词对比着看,总结近义词的对应,这样做两三套题就习惯了这种变化了。我个人错比较多的是细节,就是有复数没复数啊,中间有没有连词符啊,词拼错了啊这些低级错误,听第二次的时候改正就ok了。
听力第二部分是比较麻烦,难度浮动大啊,有时候题目容易得第一次就全部选到了,有时候完全不知所云,这跟topic 的熟悉度很大关联,看书本吧。
嗯,千万别第一眼就看选项,要先知道人家准备说啥啦,看题目,同样是员工问题,人家是说员工意见还是员工辞职原因还是招聘职位还是什么,两个问题的大方向看了才做得了题。然后就是划关键词咯,第二部分语句更短,划一个词就好啦,过犹不及。不用细看,两片选
项都瞄到就好。最妙的就是看得出两片的关联啦,比如上面选项说研发部门下面选项说产品技术那这两个大概有猫腻,听的时候可以关注一下。听力开始后不要急着选,很多时候都开头说一事后面转方向的,保守一点听完再选第一片的选项,当然有比较顺的可以看看在第二片哪个比较像,这个不强求,到复习后期我还是有时自作聪明第一次选第二次知错要改的。要是听了第一次后没选出没事,有标注帮忙还有第二次机会。要是语篇太难总体没把握好就抓词吧,千万别空,笨死了。
第二部分。。嗯,特别适合睡前听,人平静了听得出第一片第二片选项是怎样相连的,这样练比较好提高。
第三部分,这个好把握,题型从小做到大,而且两人对话,多数是对话一次就选一题,按部就班层次分明,难度在于准备时间要把题目看完最好把选项看完划了重点词再呼吸均匀一下。本人善忘,听一半了后面忘光,要边听边重新看题,还好有第二遍核对。------
阅读
第一部分句子与段配对。这个我跟老师的方法不同。老师说先看段再看句,我是先划了句子的关键词,大概明了句子说啥,再看段,边划关键词边配了最可能的一到两个句子。嗯,一段通常配一两个句子,有出现配三个的,少见。要是第一次配对还有句子剩了就看关键词,哪个比较主流比较共同就哪个,像看对象一样的,第一感觉没找着就客观点找共通点咯,但是严重反对一夫多妻一妻多夫。。好吧我跑题了。第一部分不用纠结太久,时间紧迫啊,后面的题简单点,好拿分。要是做完卷子有时间再回来杀过。
第二部分,也是难度浮动大的。老师教的是先看文章再看选项句,我还是贪懒,看句子先,短嘛好划点。注意猜测句子的语境,要是有语气明显,如问句啊,但是啊,首先啊,总结,比较啊,因为所以啊那就最好办了,还有注意代词,this,these,his,their,绝对要划。读文章先看题目,这是掌握topic最基本又容易忽略的。。第一段没东西看啦我通常跳,速读好的同学这里占优了,刷一下就全文把握,要是没练到的也有门路,看空格线前后,要是前面问问题了那选项中有因为那句大概站着没错,要是说某人或者某些人了,选项中有人称代词的可以优先考虑。这一部分文章流向清晰的话一次选好,最怕就是逻辑不清加选项意思模糊。(所以大家想想作文分段和加上because,consequently,in addition点明逻辑多重要,考官阅卷也是在做速读呢。)第二部分一下子没做好就更不要坚持了,最多看三次,不行就撤。
第三第四部分从小做到大,不说了。
第五部分考基本功,填小词,跟商务没多大关系。
第六部分改错,大概有一两题没错,说白了就是挑人家的刺,难度不大。多做几套题就知道,虚词代词和词组搭配是集中点。
所以说,阅读是先难后易,别纠结在前面,把后边的分稳稳收入囊更赚咧。
写作
第一篇,报告,就两种流向,比较型和描述趋势型。
看图说话的能力咯,横向对比纵向对比,两种数据之间的关联,要是三种数据就麻烦点,因为字数有限制往往压不住。。最简单的准备就是积累对比词咯,while,however,but,as well,或者长一点的 simultaneously 之类的刺激一下眼球亮一亮词汇量。还有描述趋势的上升,下降,高位平台,高开低走,触底反弹,惨淡收尾这些词很常用,离不开的,记得书本有一课专门说这些词,够用了。
抓字数很重要!练罗列内容做两三套就有进步了,但是取舍哪里简略哪里详细难多了,太简略了完全没重点分不高,具体描述多了超字数,我就特佩服培训班的那个老师,直接输入电脑不删节,一停手就是135到142个字之间,神啊!
还有必须注意的是数据间的对比和联系,一整篇连接点两个够了,对比挺耗词的,所以我特别怕三种数据对比。。具体这个说不清了,多看4分5分的范文咯。
第二篇 report 或 proposal 或letter。
其实就两种啦,report跟proposal一样的。。letter就写过一次,发觉主观东西有点多,语气啊,礼貌啊,就不选了。。少练一种也算是省时间的好方法。
不过爱写letter的也挺容易,因为不是投诉就是回应投诉,词汇来来去去就那些,具体内容照套好啦。
说起具体内容,对于我们没有实战经验,对工业医学生物学大小范畴没啥认识的学生来说,要是内容要专业化一点的就不要乱写,就算不写错,在表面浮着说不到专业点上分还是不高。当然太专的话题不多,只要教材自学好了,产品研发宣传、人力资源、工作环境等大块的抓紧了解深透一点就够用了。我先前说的蓝色封皮厚厚的口语书好就好在这一点,topic超多内容都列点了清晰易背,写作复习也离不开它。
Report跟proposal是叫法不同,格式都差不多,相信大家看出来了,很容易练。格式就看范文,内容看教材看蓝色封皮口语书加上多听听力资料,积累起来不难。第二篇的字数没有第一篇的紧,因为格式会有占行,不容易显多。我写完之后赫然发现怎么这么长,害怕大面积扣分胆战心惊到方才看成绩。。不过还是严守字数比较好啦。
------
口语
说起口语大家觉得没把握,其实没有这么吓人~~~
首先是口语基础咯,语音和流畅度,语法也是老师比较容易听出端倪的基础面。这个。。大家既然报高级,对自己应该有客观认识和足够信心啦。嘻嘻,小晒一下老师说我的语音和语速控制一听就知道是练过的,哇咔咔,自满ing~~
。。还是分一下部分吧。
第一部分重点是别紧张,考官特别理解咱小鹿乱撞,所以都很慈祥,说话特温柔,给你念题目也是慢慢的,眼神还带笑~这一部分就是为了让你冷静下来,和听一下你的语音语调语法,还有就是习惯你的口音。。问题不外乎什么名字什么专业工作未来有什么规划兴趣是啥这些咯,不紧张人人都说得上,但是我模拟考partner的美女紧张到问她什么专业都楞了,后来说是英语专业的让老师脸上都有黑线了。另一个极端就是侃侃而谈。不需要~第一部分三两句好了,让老师打断你说话就算不影响分数都影响情绪啦。
第二部分,这是最靠脑力的时候,看topic写point加组织语言,就是脑子里的存货问题和脑袋转速,topic 的多少绝对影响分数,看那本蓝色XXX书口语示范的说三个point每个point两句话加上开头总结在一分钟完成。。。这是不可能的,我光读时间就紧了,唯一有这个完美倾向的是咱Miss Lu 芬姐~~~这恐怖的家伙。我大概说两个point,语速自然,上er。加上翻眼和傻笑,加上最后自以为果断收尾,也就一分钟了。但是也得有point。。建议口语练习一开始就训练说一个point,自圆其说就好多少句都行,然后约束时间,对自己严厉点,规定一个point说两句话句子大概几秒说完也数一下。
第二部分是要对partner提问题的,所以无论是先说还是后说,都要留意对方说啥了。这就开始关系到你跟partner的熟悉程度,要是练习时有一定认识,知道ta说话有没有逻辑性怎样啊,重点在前还是在后,就比较省脑力咯。如果你自己说完了或者对自己的topic很有信心那当然是全程仔细听ta说,但是这么牛不容易,大多会惦记自己那份,或者像我那样会晃神,那就只能在开头听懂一句比较好问的然后慢慢想个简单但不弱智的问题咯。有同学会纠结在问什么问题然后半天问不出,不需要,这部分让你开口只是表明你刚才脑袋没放空,问题不要太难,要不partner会恨死你的。。。还有人家回答完之后可以说声谢
谢,比较傲有礼貌而且跟ta有交流了气氛放松点,另一方面,回答partner问题也要注意,不用太长,一两句就好。要不又被打断了。
第三部分两人对话,这个也是有point至上!话题流向已经给出了,内容你就多想一两个point,说不够三分钟很影响分数,因为老师觉得你对商务话题了解不多,还得费神给你找问题塞满三分钟,但是要注意不能在第一个提示话题停太久,一个人要掌握话题流动,这个可以练习的时候就决定谁做开头转折结尾。。。开头不要太长,背景介绍一两句好了,直接切入,一次说一个point然后非常明显得抛给对方,或者用眼神肢体表示该你说咯,一定要够明显,记住对话流畅度大于一切,尤其是考官已经面了n对学生,没啥心思听内容的时候,你就算重复观点甚至说I am a pig他们都未必有感觉,但是一停了他们怎么不察觉呢对不对。同样道理,只要镇定一点,没point了就正说反说举例子甚至重复都好,样子保持积极愉快的样子就好混过去了。很多同学考完后都觉得没有想象的恐怖,这是绝对的真理。嗯嗯,隆重感谢我的partner乙辉同学,我练习的全程抓狂没几个人能扛得住,没有你就没有我的A 啊~~~

还有。。
1重复一下,topic要熟悉,一个topic在四种题型能无限转换,写作和口语可以在另外两part的资料里面找到很多点子和表达方法。都说听力难,多听就不难了。(我爱英式口音!)尽量多找题目做,但是真题数量有限,定好做的频率就不至于最后没题做心慌慌了。4 同义词啊,写作常用词啊,商务高级词啊,找到了就多看两遍,三两天翻一翻没有多难吧。。
耶~~终于写完,考过了的跟我吃饺子去!!
