考生通常都会被集中在一个大的教室或者会议厅进行候考。考试正式开始前,老师会先叫准考证号,被叫到的考生会被带到一间教室,隔开坐。然后每个考生会发一张纸,这张纸上就是三分钟英文口语的题目,题目下面有三个提示,可以作为自己表达时的框架,三个段落的中心思想或者主题句。
拿到题目后,考生首先要看清题目,理清思路。一定要把英文题目和下面三个提示看清楚,记在心里。在五分钟的准备时间内,不能慌张,而要有条不紊的进行准备。其次,要写出自己口语表达的大致框架,即我们所说的“提纲”。把自己每一段所要表达的内容用简洁明了的一句话概括出来,这个就是主题句。它可以使你在口语表达的时候思维和逻辑清晰。第三,要尽可能的在五分钟时间内想想如何论证自己的观点,要多想出几个理由或者论据。最好能想出具体的例子,如个人经历,名人轶事,名人名言,相关故事等。因为这些对于考生来说都比较容易记忆,而且能够消耗一定的时间。因此在候考五分钟时间准备时,考生一定要牢记这些例子,在心中反复背诵。这样才能中考试时做到从容不迫,流利表达,也会给考官留下比较好的第一印象。
口语部分通过的关键是语言的流利度。即使在语法上有一些小的错误,如果可以相对比较流畅地进行口语表达的话,考官也会让你通过。
另外,很多考生由于逢考必慌,每考必乱,所以导致在考试时自己的正常水平得不到发挥,影响考试的通过。因此,保持一颗平常心是非常重要的。如果在考试时出现一时语塞的问题,千万注意不能自乱阵脚,一字不说。一定要用一些过渡词或者句子帮助自己渡过难关。如“Well, what I am saying is it’s really a touch question and I believe opinions vary from person to person. From my personal point of view, it is …”,这样在说这些句子同时,你也获得了一定的缓冲时间,可以在头脑中迅速的思考出接下来要讲的内容。

好的布局对于成功的口语表达非常重要,就如同好的文章一样。判断一篇文章好不好,首先要看的就是它有没有一个好的开头。通常,有以下几种方法可供考生选择:
1.开门见山法:在第一句开宗明义,表达自己的观点,是同意还是不同意,是选择A还是选择B,是好还是坏,是利大于弊,还是弊大于利。
As far as I am concerned, of course college students should be encouraged to take up part-time jobs.
2.现象描述法:先引出所要讨论的问题或者现象,然后进行评论。
Nowadays, many college students have their own part-times jobs but whether or not it should be encouraged has aroused wide attention and heated discussion.
3.矛盾对立法:先提出不同观点,再表达自己观点。
Lots of people believe having a part-time job will help college students learn about the real society, something useful and accumulate some good experience. But frankly, my opinion is the opposite.
第一段引题段
中间部分是核心内容,既可以把三个提示作为中心展开,也可以按照自己的想法表述。但记住一定要以firstly, secondly, the third作为每一个论据段的开头,这样考官会觉得你的思路清晰。如果是按照自己的想法表述,就可以把每一个论据段分为三个部分:第一,主题句。即用一句话来表明自己的理由。第二,解释说明。即用相对来说比较具体的描述来对于刚才的主题句进行进一步的阐述和说明。第三,举例说明。即举出具体的实例来证明自己的观点。当然,如果之前的解释说明已经占用很长的时间,这部分也可以酌情省略。
结尾段无需冗长复杂的内容,用一句话来点题或者重复自己的观点即可。因为在实际考试中考官通常不会听到你说结尾段,如果你前面说的足够好的话,考官就会再往下听了,而是说“Stop here, and now we move to the next part, interpretation.”
参考范文:
Lots of people believe having a part-time job will help college students learn about the real society, something useful and accumulate some good experience. But frankly, my opinion is the opposite.
Firstly, doing part-time jobs will have negative impact on college students study. We know doing part-times jobs takes time, and often a lot of time, which of course will occupy students’ time to study. As is known to all, college students are faced with fierce competition from their peers nowadays, without enough time on study, they won’t have good marks, which are essential to them in finding a job after graduation. What’s worse, part-time jobs will disturb college students, making them hard to concentrate one hundred percent on their own learning because sometimes they may think about their jobs when studying.
