第一节 口语考试概述 一、口试题型介绍
(-)口试题型介绍及评分标准
在众多的英语考试中,口语考试的设置逐渐多了起来,例如托福口语考试(TSE 口语考试); 英语证书(BEC)中亦有口试部分,最近大学英语考试委员会也组织大学英语四级、六级考试成
绩优秀的部分学生进行口语考试。PETS 进行口语考试,是对考生口语能力的检验,也将有力地
促进全社会英语口语水平的提高,改变“听不懂,讲不出”,难以与外国人直接交流的局面。 1.口试题型介绍
PETS 三级口语考试共10 分钟,分为三个部分。第一部分3 分钟,两个考官将对两名考生就
不同的话题分别提问,一般分别有3~4 个问题。考生的口答一般只需要一句话;有些问题需要几
句话才能回答,考生需表明观点并陈述一定的理由。这部分涉及问候语、自我介绍,包括家乡、
家庭、学校、专业、习惯、兴趣、爱好、交友、旅游以及日常生活的方方面面。 下面是考试大纲规定的交际话题。
(1) Personal Identification, People (2) Home and Family, Environment (3) Weather and Climate (4) Food and Drink (5) Daily Life
(6) Free-time Activities (e. g. sports, parties, etc.) (7) Shopping (8) Holiday (9) Places (10) Travel
(11) Health and Body Care
(12) Services (e. g. hotel, post off ice, etc.) (13) Social Relations
(14) Jobs and Occupation (15) Current Affairs (16) Education
(17) Popular Science (18) History
(19) Geography 1. Personal Identification, People I„m a teacher/student/worker.。。 第二部分亦为3 分钟,考官递给两位考生一张图片,请他们就图片中涉及的话题交谈(不要
求描述画面,图片起引出话题的作用)。考生可以意见一致,互相补充;也可以有不同意见,从而
展开争论。要求考生能够较主动地展开话题、维持交流并积极地进行交流补救。
第三部分4 分钟,考官将先递给考生A 一幅图片,请他首先描述图片内容,然后对其中的人
物或现象作出评论。考生A 说完后,考生B 亦有30 秒时间作出补充。 第二部分和第三部分的三张图片一般都具有某种联系,从而考生可以就一个方面作出比较详 尽的陈述,有机会充分地展示自己的口语能力,有利于客观地评价考生的口语水平。涉及的
话题
面比较广,例如:环境、气候、体育、购物、假期、旅行、健康、社会关系、职业、时事、教育
等问题。要求考生应能在生活和工作的多数情景中进行对话,不仅能够询问事实,还能询问抽象
的信息。能提供或者要求得到更清楚的阐述,表达个人意见、观点和态度。此外,还能描述一个
事件,或就一般性话题做简短的演讲。考生应做到: l)基本连贯地进行较长的论述; 2)保持语言的流畅;
3)积极地交流,并能用适当的补救措施解决交流的困难。
对第二三部分问题的回答不要求一致,只需流利。言之有物,能自圆其说,能积极地交流。 整个考试过程中,无论是考官提问还是考生的回答都一律用英文
一、PETS三级口试的内容
PETS三级口试试卷分A、B、C三节,测试考生用英语进行口头交际的能力。每次口试采取两名口试教师和两名考生的形式。
一名口试教师不参与交谈,专事评分;另一名主持口试,随时与考生交谈并评分。专事评分的教师所给分数的权重占考生口试成绩的三分之二,主持口试的教师所给分数的权重占考生口试成绩的三分之一:
A节:考查考生提供个人信息、回答有关他们日常生活、家乡、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力。该节约需3分钟时间。
B节:考查考生就信息卡上的图片或文字讨论有关问题的能力。该节约需3分钟时间。 C节:要求考生就信息卡上的图片或文字作简短描述,之后另一考生就同一话题阐述个人观点。该节约需4分钟时间。
二、夯实基础,做好充分的应试准备
英语口试着重考查考生英语的听、说能力,其中包括对语音、语调、词汇、语速和语感的考查。这就要求考生在日常学习中必须不断地积累语音、词汇、语法知识;必须注重在长期学习过程中加强动手、动口、动脑的良好习惯。而听说是语言应用的重要方面,听说的训练直接关系到英语口试的成败。因此,在平时的口语训练中,需要注意以下几个方面。 1、强化语音语调,加大朗读训练
语音语调的考查主要是考查学生发音要准确、清晰,语调要自然流畅。学生朗读时能恰当地运用意群断句,连读自然正确。因此平时的训练中要多听录音。录音的内容可以多种多样,可以听单词辨音,也可以听一些连贯的词组,听短文、对话等,然后要一句一句地模仿。而朗读短文的选读应以自己易接受、好理解的故事为主。这就要求我们一方面要迅速看懂短文的内容,同时对朗读的语音、语调、语速和语感进行准备。语音和语调只有通过朗读完整的短文才能得以全面的体现。 2、创造良好环境,加强情景交流
众所周知,听和说作为语言交流的两个方面,在自然状态下是不可分离的,没有一定的听说条件,只靠闷头学习,很难在听说方面有所收获。因此,要有意识地、积极地创造英语
学习环境,制造学习气氛,以弥补自然条件的不足。
为提高学生的口语交流能力,平时尽量用英语参加课堂活动,用英语回答老师所提出的问题,用英语与同学进行交流。课外,积极参加英语第二课堂活动,如英语朗读、演讲比赛、讲故事等活动,这样可以使自己心情放松,在娱乐中得到英语听说的训练。 3、熟悉考试题型,增强应考信心
考试前,应在老师的指导下进行几次模拟口试,以熟悉题型、增强信心。许多考生在口试中,往往怕听错、说错,而感到难以开口,这样就处于一种被动状态,形成一种无形的压力,感到过度紧张,难以发挥真实水平。因此,考试前,学生要熟悉题型、解除疑虑、增强信心,为自己的高考英语口试铺平道路。 三、PETS三级口试的应试技巧
方法是制胜的要素,掌握一定的应试技巧,对英语口试起着重要的作用。 1、了解英语口试的程序
考生拿到试题后,应迅速阅读理解全文,准备回答老师的提问。此外,还要特别熟读有星号标志(有些省份会有类似的标志)的段落,但考生一定要注意,千万不能只准备星号的部分,一定要阅读、读懂全文。同时,把故事的内容用who,what,when, where,how,why等问题串起来,以准备教师提问星号以外部分的问题。 2、熟悉口试过程中的常用语
在口语考试的时候,如果一个考生出来,主考人往往用英语对下一个考生说:Please wait outside for a moment./Wait outside please./Please don’t come in until we ask you to.等等。此时你应理解主考人的意思,并应及时地应答,如:OK./All right.这样主考人对你的反应将表示满意,在口试时,你的印象也会嵌入考官脑海中。 3、及时调整好心理状态
口试时间的一般规律是先松后紧。检查考生发音和语音语调无需朗读一长段文字,读一两句就知分晓了。当考生被打断时,往往是主考人认为朗读满意,没有必要再继续念下去,可以进行下一环节了。此时考生不必紧张,不要以为念得糟透。事实上,主考人往往会给念得不理想的人多一些时间,尽量让考生给自己纠正一些错误。而考生应注意到考官在为自己创造一切机会,从困境中摆脱出来,调整心理状态,组织语言文字,为口头作文及自由会话打下良好基础。
4、在交流过程中尽量使用英语
英语口试中的第二部分着重测试考生的口头表达和组织语言的能力。口头作文要求考生在准备阶段必须考虑说什么,怎么说,如何开头,怎样结尾,如何把主要内容与开头、结尾有机地结合起来,融为一体。整个口述应力求条理清晰、表达自然、句型规范、用语恰当,使口述材料具有良好的连贯性与流畅性。
口试时,主考人往往会根据规定的问题或根据考生情况随意提问,这就是口试中的“自由会话”,这时是考生“表现”自己的好机会。而这种表现,则与平时的练习不无关系。因此,在平时的口语训练过程中,多针对一些有关个人业余时间的爱好组织一些材料;和其他同学多交流一些观点和看法,将对口试顺利完成起到重要作用。
总之,英语口试的主要目的是为了考核考生的英语交际能力,是外语教学实施素质教育的突破口。加强口语训练,将使学生的言语交流能力及个性心理品质都得到锻炼和提高,同时对开发个人潜能、促进个性发展也具有积极作用。

讨论中至关重要的一点是考生间要彼此认真地听取同组考生的谈话,只有如此,你才能有机会插话,有机会附和,有机会表示你的赞成或反对,才不会出现彼此间你讲你的,我说我的互不衔接的局面。
小组讨论可以反映出一个考生的听力水平,反应程度,应对能力以及口语技巧 二、如何引起别人注意
If you ask me,… 如果您问我,……
In my opinion,they should have more buses on this route. 依我看,他们本应增发这条路线的公共汽车。 As I see it,… 依我看,…

提出问题的人通常控制谈话的范围。为了从与您同时参加口试的另外两个考生中获得各种不同的信息,您谈自己的观点的同时,也要不断地提出问题,掌握谈话的主动权。当您在回答问题拿不准并犹豫的时候,也可以用下面方式为自己争取时间,组织思路。 Did yon hear the news?您听到新闻了吗?
