口语实训
话题阐述和口语表达
第六周-第七周
可能存在的问题
1.持续反复说相同的话或改正说过的话
My house..house..my house has three room..romms..three rooms. And ther is...are three rooms
频繁地进行自我改正，会过分突出自己的弱点，同时也会使考官难以理解考生答案
2.语速过快或过慢
考生将语速快理解为流畅，反而导致许多语法、单词、发音等方面的问题；同时，若考生过于想要表现好或过于紧张导致回答问题时语速过慢，也不可取。

3.由于想不起特定的单词反复停顿
避免在单词间停顿的情况，可在句子之间停顿；当确实想不起该单词，可选择其他已知的近似词来替换表达。

4.陈述缺乏逻辑，导致回答难以继续
功夫在平时，应该提前准备好自己的想法；即使准备充分也有可能遇到难以预测的话题，如果因为慌张导致长时间的沉默，在这种情况下使用well，let me think之类的词语来争取思考时间。

5.可针对不同主题充分进行表达的高级词汇不足
反复使用基本词汇，在平日练习时，应多学习储备一些与常考主题相关的词汇，训练自己使用不同高级词汇进行回答的能力，如technology可变换成为modern innovation，last inventions，new gadgets。

请对每一观点至少想出三个分论点以及支持这三个分论点的三个具体例子或原因来支持自己的论点。

Supporting Ideas (Examples & Reasons)
1. .
2. .
3. . Topic Sentence:wri pap... (write papers)
Supporting Ideas (Why do I think it is better to write paper?)
1. bet plan (better planning)
2. rev pap (more convenient to review papers)
3. keep lat use(can be kept for the later use)
Sample Answer
I think it is better for students to write papers instead of making oral presentation. And I hold this for the following reasons.
•Fistly, writing papers will allow better planning. Since if students choose to write papers, they will have enough time to plan their papers. Then they can really make their papers well-organized.
•Second, if they choose to write papers, they will be enabled to review their papers in a variety of ways. For example, they can choose different words to express themselves better or they can change the structure to make it better. Well I don't think they can do this without any problem if they make something like oral presentations.
•Finally, they can keep their papers for the later use. I mean, if they need their papers later on, they can use their papers.

Sample Answer
I think the most important incention during the past 100 years is the Internet.
•First, because it has greatly changed our lives. For example, with shopping which is made possible by the Internet, we don't have to go out and shop for somthing and also with online chatting, we can chat with anyone anywhere in the worlf.
