speaking exam.

口语测试的第三、四部分。

Before we start, one question: do you find it difficult to understand spoken English?

我们开始之前，有一个问题：您发现在理解 英文口语上有困难吗？

In part three of the B1 preliminary speaking test you talk to your partner, not to the

在B1初级水平口语测试的第三部分， 您要和您的伙伴谈，而不是和

examiner.

考官谈。

It lasts two to three minutes.

这将持续2-3分钟。

At the beginning, the examiner will say: “Now, in this part of the test you’re going to

在开始，考官会说：“现在， 在测试的这一部分，你们一起要

talk about something together for about two minutes.

谈论事情约2分钟。

I’m going to describe a situation to you.”

我给你们描述一下情况。”

Then, the examiner will give you a booklet with the task.

然而，考官会给你们一个有任务的小册子。

You’ll see several pictures.

你们会看到几张图片。

It might look something like this.

那也许看上去像这个。

Then, you’ll hear the instructions.

然而，你们会听到指引。

For example: “A family wants to go on a trip this weekend.

Talk together about the different places the family could visit and decide which trip the

一起在讨论一家人能去的不同地方，并决定去哪里旅游会是

All right?

好吗?

Now, talk together.”

Listen to the examiner carefully, because the instructions won’t be written on the

仔细地听考官说，因为 指引不会被写入到

task.

任务里面。

If anything is not clear, ask the examiner to repeat the instructions.

如果任何事情不清楚，请考官 重复说指引。

First point: remember that the situation is about other people, not about you.

第一个重点：记住情况是有关其他人的， 不是关于您的。

This task is not asking you to describe where *you* want to visit this weekend.

这个任务不是请您去描述 *你们*在周末想去的地方。

It is asking you to talk about where the *family in the picture* should visit.

那是请您去谈论 *图片里面的家庭*会去旅行的地方。

Don’t say ‘I think the castle is a good idea because I love history.’

不要说“我认为去城堡是一个好主意因为我喜欢历史。”

This trip is not for you.

这次旅行不是为了您。

You are only recommending ideas for the family.

您仅是为家庭出谋划策。

Instead, say ‘I think the castle is a good idea because it would be educational for the

取代的是，说“我认为去城堡是一个好主意， 因为这会对家庭

family.’

有教育意义。”

Now let’s look at another situation.

现在，让我们看另一种情况。

Pause the video if you want more time to read and think.

暂停视屏，如果您要更多时间来读和考虑。

Remember also that the instructions will not be written on the task in your real B1 speaking

exam!

口语测试任务里！

Let’s look at how to begin.

我们看下怎样开始。

Do you know how you should start?

您知道您要怎样开始吗？

A good way to start is to ask your partner a question.

起头的一个好方法是问您的伙伴一个问题。

For example, for this task, you could ask ‘Which present do you think is the best?’

例如，就这个任务，您可以问 ：目前哪一个您认为是最好的？“

Or, ‘What do you think about getting him a camera?’

或是，”给他一个照相机，您怎么看？

Let’s look at another task.

我们看一下另一个任务。

Imagine you’re in the B1 speaking test.

想像一下您正在B1口语测试中。

This is your task.

或是”您认为他们肯定会带一本旅游指南吗？“

Asking a question is a good way to start.

问一个问题是一个开始的好方法。

What next?

下一个是什么？

The conversation should be fifty per cent you speaking and fifty per cent your partner

speaking.

说50%。

You don’t get extra points for speaking more.

您不会因为说得多而得到加分。

Give your opinion about something, and then ask your partner a question.

提出您关于某事的观点， 然后问您的伙伴一个问题。

Your opinions on each idea should not be very long – one or two sentences maximum – then

您对每个想法的观点不能太长， – 最多一或两句 – 然后

ask another question.

问另一个问题。

Ask your partner to respond to your ideas.

请您的伙伴回应您的想法。

Let’s go back to our first example.

我们回到我们的第一个例子。

Remember: one or two sentences, then ask a question.

记住：一或两句，然后问一个问题。

For example: ‘I think going to the beach is a good idea if the weather is nice because

例如：“我认为如果天气好去海滩是一个好主意，

the children could play in the sea.

因为孩子们可以在海里玩。

What do you think about the family going to the beach?’

您怎样看一家人去海滩？”

Let’s move on to our next point: linking your ideas when you speak.

让我们进入我们的下一个重点： 当您说话时，与您的主意做连接。

In part three of the B1 speaking exam, you need to link your ideas with comparisons and

在B1口语测试的第三部分， 您需要把您的想法通过比较和

contrasts.

对比联系起来。

Look at our second task again.

再看下我们的第二个任务。

Imagine you’re in the exam.

Your partner says ‘I think the mobile phone is a good idea because our classmate could

您的伙伴说：“我认为手机是一个好主意， 因为我们的同学可以

keep in contact with us.

和我们保持联络。

What do you think about the camera?’

您觉得照相机怎样呢？“

之后，您回复：”我不认为照相机是 一个好主意，因为照相机是

old-fashioned.

过时的。

What do you think about the book?’

您认为书怎样？“

These are good answers and ideas, but as a conversation, it sounds unnatural.

有好的回答和主意，但是作为一个 对话，这看上去不自然。

There’s no connection between one answer and the other.

在一个回答和另一个之间没有关联。

Here’s a better example.

这有更好的例子。

Your partner says ‘I think the mobile phone is a good idea because our classmate could

您的伙伴说：“我认为手机是一个好主意， 因为我们的同学可以

keep in contact with us.

have cameras.

都可以照相。

What do you think about the book?’

您认为书怎样？“

This sounds better, right?

听起来更好一点，对吗？

Comparing and linking your ideas helps you to sound more like you’re having a normal

比较和连接您的主意能帮您 听起来更像一个

discussion.

正常的讨论。

Our next point: you need to react to your partner’s ideas and suggestions.

我们的下一个重点：您必须对您的伙伴的主意和建议有响应。

If you agree with what your partner says, you could say something like: ‘I agree’,

如果您不同意您的伙伴说的，记住 要有礼貌。

You could say ‘really?’

您可以说：“是吗？”

or ‘good idea, but I prefer…’

或是“好主意，但是我偏爱…”

Also, when you disagree with your partner, give a reason, or an alternative suggestion.

同样，当您不同意您的伙伴， 给一个理由，或一个替代建议。

For example: if your partner says, ‘I think the book is a good idea because books are

例如：如果您的伙伴说，“我认为书是一个好主意， 因为书

not that expensive’, and you disagree, you could reply ‘I don’t think I agree.

不是那么贵”，您不同意，您可以\回复“我不认为我会同意。

I understand that a book would be a cheap present, but we want to get our classmate

我明白书肯定是一个便宜的礼物， 但我们想给我们的同学

something special to remember us, like the watch.’

在最后，问您的伙伴一些类似 ”我们怎样决定？“或”我们要

Remember: you don’t have to be honest.

If your partner thinks that one idea is better, you can agree just to finish the conversation.

It doesn’t matter if you really agree or not.

您真的同意或不同意，并不重要。

If your partner is unsure, try to lead the decision.

You could say, ‘I think we can agree that the mobile phone is the best idea because

您可以说：”我认为我们可以同意 手机是最好的主意，因为

Make sure you leave enough time to reach a final decision together, but you also need
