口语应试技巧
BECVantage口语考试由三部分组成:
简短谈话(Interview)、小型演讲(AMini-Presentation)、相互讨论(Discussion)。
时间大约为14分钟左右(两名考生考试的时间)。
要求考生不仅具有一定英语口头表达能力,还要具备基本的商务知识,熟悉常用的商务词汇,因此与其他口语考试相比,剑桥商务英语口语考试的难度较大。
如何能在较短时间内了解BECVANTAGE口语考试基本形式、提高自身的口语水平及应考能力呢?
考生应注意以下备考要领及应试策略:
1.平时加强练习:
要想顺利通过BECVantage口语考试,考生除了参加培训班外,还应在平时多下功夫练习。
抓住一切机会说英语,在课堂上要踊跃发言,经常参加各种讨论活动;课余时间多做自说(speakingtoyourself)练习,尽可能用英语来表达所见到的和所想到的事情;克服胆怯心理,不要害怕犯错误,学习是循序渐进的过程,练习愈多,错误自然愈少;多听、多读纯正的英语,模仿自然的语音和语调,多与外国人交流。
2.增加商务知识:
商务英语主要应用于商务场合,因此会涉及一些商务用语和商务知识。
对考生来说,除了要注重一定的英语口语练习外,还要熟悉必要的商业用语和常识。
多阅读些与商务有关的文章能扩大知识面与词汇量,扩展思路,即使在考试中遇到自己不熟悉的话题也不会觉得无话可说。
3.熟悉考试模式:
同其他口语考试一样,BECVantage.口语考试有着其标准的考试模式和严格的评分标准。
因此熟悉考试模式和标准,在考试时知道自己什么该做,什么不该做是考试取得成功的关键。
4.轻松上阵应试:
考生不要把口语考试看得太可怕,应尽量放松自己,应时刻保持微笑和目光交流。
有时考官为了引导谈话或把握全局可能会打断谈话,考生千万不要因此而慌张。
有一点考生必须牢记,对问题应有自己的主观思想,并努力将其表达出来,尽量做到自己多说,无需过多顾及口音是否纯正,只要表达连贯性强并注意语法就可得到一定的基准分。
5.考场注意事项:
提前几分钟到达考场;以自己最佳的面貌出现在考官面前;不要抽烟或嚼口香糖;面带微笑进人考场;尽量放松自己,但要以正确的姿势坐好;积极主动回答每个问题,回答时要做到完整、真实,不能只是用“Yes"和“No”来回答问题;未经许可,不要在考试中写任何东西;遇到没有听懂的问题时,不要装懂,应该说:
"I'msorry,couldyourepeatthat,please"。
说话时,要保持恰当的眼神交流,不要左顾右盼。
尽量不要逗乐、发誓或使用但语,以免有哗众取宠之嫌。
当考官宣布考试完毕时,应礼貌地表示感谢并迅速退场;不要问考官分数或偷窥得分卡上的分数。
一、口语第一部分应试技巧—简短谈话
(一)题型介绍
BECVantage口试第一部分为简短谈话。
这部分比较模式化,要求考生能将自己的背景,如工作、学习情况、兴趣爱好、过去的经历、将来的打算等流利并连贯地表达出来。
这一阶段的谈话主要是为了放松与热身,初步测试考生的英语口头表达能力。
总时间为3分钟左右(两名考生的考试时间)。
具体而言,这部分又分为两阶段:
第一阶段是考查考生自己的基本情况,如:
姓名、籍贯、业余爱好等;第二阶段要求考生就其学习、工作及其他商务话题等具体方面提供信息,交流观点,并在交流中表达同意、不同意或倾向性意见。
譬如,考官会问A考生:
“Whatwouldbeyouridealjob?
Istheopportunitytoworkabroadimportanttoyou?
”
(二)应试技巧
1.注意第一印象:
第一印象非常重要,考生应在轻松友善的态度下介绍自己,并注意自己的身体语言。
不要望着天花板或地板,不要左顾右盼或眨眼太多,应时刻保持微笑和视线接触,尽量让你的形态和表情告诉考官你的轻松、自信和镇定。
但也不要双手交叉在胸前或全身倚靠在椅子上,这都是过于随便的表现。
2.表达准确清晰:
用简单、准确、流利的语言介绍自己,清晰和详细地回答考官的提问,直率和坦诚地讲述自己的生活经历。
这一阶段主要是考生的自我介绍。
考生应平时做好充分的准备,掌握相关的句型,表达时应尽量自然流畅,但不能背诵。
3.表达尽量自然:
如一时难以答出考官的提问,千万不要停顿下来或做吃惊状,可用诸如“Well,that'sagoodquestion.”,“Letmethink"等词句来缓冲紧张,理清思路。
4.学会认真倾听:
当主考官在与一名考生对话时,另一名考生必须仔细听。
考官会问A考生:
“Doyouthinkallcompaniesoughttoprovidetrainingopportunitiesforstaff?
”之后,很可能会17B考生“Whatdoyouthinkofit?
"如果B考生没有仔细听,只是对考官说“Sorry”或“Pardon",这样会影响口试成绩。
