一、 进门与身份核对 (Before the test starts)
这是第一印象,虽然不计分,但能影响考官对你的整体感觉。
考官会问:
Good morning / Good afternoon. Come in. (早上好/下午好,请进。)
Please take a seat. (请坐。)
Could you show me your ID card / identification, please? (请出示一下你的身份证。)
My name is XXX. What’s your full name? (我叫XXX,你的全名是什么?)
你的回应与策略:
动作: 微笑,眼神自信,把身份证递给考官。
回答姓名时:
不要说 "My name is..." 而是直接说 "Good morning, my name is Li Hua." 或者更自然地 "Good morning, I’m Li Hua."
如果考官问 "What can I call you?" 你可以说 "You can call me Richard." (如果你有英文名) 或者 "Just call me by my first name, Hua." (说你的中文名小名)。
注意: 这部分简单明了即可,不需要多说。
二、 Part 1: Introduction (介绍) & Interview (问答)
*时长:4-5分钟*
流程:
考官会先自我介绍,然后问一些关于你的生活、工作/学习、家乡、兴趣爱好等非常基础的问题。
考官常用话术:
开启录音 (通常考官会说这句,你听着就行):
"This is the International English Language Testing System, speaking test, on [date]. Candidate number [你的考号]."
转入正题:
"Now, in this first part, I’d like to ask you some questions about yourself."
具体问题举例:
"Let’s talk about where you live. Do you live in a house or an apartment?"
"What do you like about your hometown?"
"Do you work or are you a student?"
"What do you enjoy doing in your free time?"
你的策略:
反应要快: 问什么答什么,不要绕圈子。
拓展一点: 不要只回答 Yes/No,最好加一句理由。例如考官问 "Do you like reading?" 不要只答 "Yes." 可以答 "Yes, definitely. I find it really relaxing, especially before I go to sleep."
三、 Part 2: Individual Long Turn (个人陈述)
*时长:3-4分钟 (包含1分钟准备)*
这是流程感最明显的部分,务必听懂考官的指令。
考官常用话术:
引出话题:
"Now, I’m going to give you a topic, and I’d like you to talk about it for one to two minutes."
"Before you talk, you have one minute to think about what you’re going to say. You can make some notes if you wish."
递题卡和纸笔:
"Here's a pen and some paper for you to make notes, and here's your topic."
(此时考官会给你一张话题卡 - Cue Card)
开始准备 (1分钟计时):
"Alright? Remember, you have one to two minutes for this."
(考官会看表,这1分钟内不要说话,低头写提纲)
开始陈述:
"Could you start speaking now, please?" 或者 "Alright, please begin."
时间控制:
如果你说够了2分钟,考官会说 "Thank you." 打断你。
如果你说得太短(比如只说了45秒),考官可能会提示 "Can you tell me a little more about...?" 但这种情况较少见,通常他们会进入下一个问题。
结束语 (过渡到Part 3):
"Thank you. Now, I’d like to ask you a few more questions related to this topic."
你的策略:
拿过题卡后: 礼貌地微笑,说 "Thank you." 然后低头看题卡,开始写提纲。
开始说话时: 可以直接开始 "Ok, I’d like to talk about..." 或者 "Speaking of [话题], the first thing that comes to my mind is..."
听到打断时: 考官说 "Thank you." 要立刻停下来,不要强行说 "One more second..." 保持微笑,等待进入下一环节。
四、 Part 3: Two-way Discussion (双向讨论)
*时长:4-5分钟*
流程:
这部分是基于Part 2话题的延伸,讨论更抽象、更社会性的话题。考官会与你进行“辩论”或“深入探讨”。
考官常用话术:
引入讨论:
"We've been talking about [Part 2的主题], and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this."
提问风格 (更具分析性):
"What are the differences between... and ...?"
"Do you think the government should...?"
"How do you think this trend will develop in the future?"
"What are the advantages and disadvantages of...?"
追问:
"Why do you think that is?" (你为什么会这么想?)
"Can you give me an example?" (能举个例子吗?)
"What do you mean by that exactly?" (你这具体是什么意思?)
你的策略:
放松心态: 这部分像是和一位年长的朋友聊天,考官在“挑战”你的观点,是想看你词汇量和逻辑的上限,而不是为难你。
不懂就问: 如果没听懂问题,不要说 "What?" 可以用下面的“救命”话术:
"Sorry, could you please paraphrase that?" (抱歉,您能换种说法吗?)
"Do you mean...?" (您的意思是...吗?)
"I'm afraid I'm not quite familiar with that term, but if you mean..." (我对那个词不太熟,但如果您是指...)
五、 结束语 (End of the test)
时长:几秒钟
考官常用话术:
"That's the end of the speaking test. Thank you very much."
"You can go now."
你的回应与策略:
礼貌退场: 站起来,微笑,说 "Thank you for your time. Have a nice day!" 然后轻轻离开。
不要问分数: 千万不要问 "How did I do?" 或者 "Can you tell me my score?" 考官不会回答,只会尴尬。
总结:一些通用的“救命”话术
在考试中,如果你卡壳了、没听清或者需要时间思考,不要沉默,用下面这些话自然过渡:
没听清:
"Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Could you say it again?"
需要思考:
"That's a tricky question. Let me think for a second."
"Well, I've never really thought about that before, but I suppose..."
说错想纠正:
"What I meant to say was..."
"Or rather, let me put it this way..."
练习建议:
可以找一个朋友扮演考官,按照上述流程把“台词”念一遍,你来进行回应。模拟几次后,真正考试时你就会觉得一切都是意料之中,自然就不紧张了。
