Let’s look at our example questions again.

让我们再看看我们的问题例子。

Could you answer these?

您能回答这些吗？

Pause the video and try it now.

暂停视屏，现在试一下。

How did you do?

您是怎样做的?

Now, let’s look together at some more ways to improve your answers and your score.

现在，我们一起看更多的让您的回答更好 和提高您得分的方式。

First, like you heard before, try to use different verb tenses if possible.

首先，像您之前听到的，如果可能 的话，试着去用不同的动词时态。

Look at a sample answer for the first question.

看第一个问题的回答例子。

This is not bad, but you can always improve your answers!

这不差，但您总是能回答得更好！

For example ‘On Saturday, I played tennis with a friend, and then on Sunday I had lunch

例如“在周六，我和一个朋友 打网球，然后周日

with my family, which we do every week.’

和我的家人一起午餐，我们每周都这样。”

You’re just adding a few words, but it all helps to add detail to your answer, and it

您就添加极少的单词，但是这些会帮您 增加细节到您的回答里，

helps your score, too.

也帮您得分。

Next, try to use a range of adjectives in your answer.

接下来，试着在您的回答里使用 多种形容词。

Look at a sample answer for the second question.

看下第二个问题的回答例子。

Again, this answer is quite good!

再次，这个回答很好！

But, again, it could be better.

但是，同样，它能够更好。

Adjectives like ‘interesting’, ‘nice’ and ‘good’ are OK, but they’re general.

形容词像是 “interesting”、“nice” 和“good”都可以，但是他们是一般的。

Try to use more specific adjectives and phrases.

试着用更多的特定形容词和短语。

For example ‘I live in Thessaloniki.

例如，“我住在德萨罗尼基。

My town is a great place to live because it has many excellent restaurants and some fascinating

我住的镇是一个对居住来说很棒的地方， 因为那有很多不错的餐馆和一些

museums.’

引人入胜的博物馆。“

You can see here that you’re not just changing the adjectives, you’re also adding words

您能看到您不仅仅改变了形容词， t您也添加了单词

to make the answer more descriptive.

来让回答更具描述性。

You don’t just say ‘My town is nice’, you say ‘My town is a great place to live’.

您不要只是说“我住的镇很美”， 您说“我住的镇是一个对居住来说很棒的地方”。

You don’t just say ‘good restaurants’, you say ‘many excellent restaurants.'

您不要只是说“好餐馆”， 您说“很多不错的餐馆。”

OK, adding one word, like ‘many’, doesn’t make a big difference.

好了，增加一个单词，像是“many”，没有制造出大的区别。

But, it does make a small difference, and if you do this all the way through your B1

但是，它显示了一个小的区别，如果 您在您的B1口语测试中都用

speaking exam, it will count.

这种方式，这将得分。

Now, let’s look at a sample answer for our third question.

现在，让我们看下第三个问题的回答例子。

What do you think?

您认为怎样?

Good answer?

好的回答吗?

Again, it’s not bad, but it’s short; answers like this don’t give you a chance to use

一样，它不糟糕，但是太短了；像这样的回答 没有给您机会去使用

your English and show the examiners what you can do.

您的英语能力，并告诉考官您能做什么。

Sometimes, students ask “What do I do if I don’t know what to say?”

有时，学生们问“如果我不知道要说什么，我该怎样做？”

Firstly, you can make something up.

首先，您能用什么扮一下。

Your answer doesn’t need to be true.

您的回答不需要是真实的。

You can say ‘I think I’ll live in New York in the future.

您能说”我想我今后会住在纽约。

After I finish university, I want to move to Manhattan and work in the advertising industry.’

大学毕业后，我想搬到曼哈顿， 到一家广告公司工作。“

It doesn’t need to be true.

这不需要是真实的。

You can make up something interesting!

您能用一些有趣的事情扮一下。

Secondly, even if you don’t know what to say, you can still give some ideas.

第二，甚至如果您不知道要说什么， 您仍然可以给一些想法。

For example ‘I don’t know where I’ll live in the future.

例如，”我不知道今后我会住哪。

I guess after I graduate, I’ll probably stay here for a couple of years.

我猜我毕业后，我可能会 待在这几年。

After that, I wouldn’t mind moving to another city, or even another country if I can find

之后，我会想搬到另一个城市， 或者另一个国家，如果我可以在那

a good job there.’

找到一份好工作的话。“

In this way, you can turn a basic answer into a full, interesting one, even if you’re

用这种方式，您可以让一个基本的回答变成一个 全面的、有趣的回答，甚至如果

basically still saying ‘I don’t know’.

您基本上还在说”我不知道“。
