Important reminder
Scores system(25% each): Fluency and coherence, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation
Don't worry about： body language eye contact the quality of your ideas whether the examiner agrees with you presentation skills the examiner's behavior There is no task response (this is a composition writing requirement), and IELTS speaking does not test the content itself.
Part1 [① fluency is the most important, answer as quickly as possible; ② don’t worry about vocabulary and grammar; ③ answer with reasons] --2-4 sentences, the answer goes straight to the topic, the maximum time is 30 seconds, not longer than 30 seconds, because the longer the answer, the more mistakes will be made more
State your Point, provide your Reason, give your Explanation or provide examples, then add conclusion if needed.
--PREC=logical arrangement== Point reason explanation/example== conclusion==PRE//PRC//PEC//PC//PE
Is there anyone who bought furniture for you? (Point): To be honest, No one has bought me furniture yet. (Reason): It is primarily due to the fact that, I live with my parents and I have never asked anyone to buy me equipment (Explanation): To be more specific, we have everything in our home and all requirements have been fulfilled. Conclusion: Therefore, I don’t need anyone buy me anything.
(Point ): Well, obviously, I want to buy a small bed to sleep well and comfortably. (Reason): The main reason is that I need more time and a convenient place to get relaxed (Example): in other words, my old bed is not convenient and relaxing Conclusion: Hence, I want to buy a new one with a music system so that I can enjoy my time while sleeping.
Which furniture do you like best in your home? (Point ): Well, obviously, Its my big black chair which is used for studying and watching movies. (Reason): one reason is that, it was gifted by my father last year.. another reason is that its very relaxing and qualitative. Example): For example, whenever I sit on it, it makes me feel relaxed and I fall asleep Conclusion: That’s why, I am obsessed with this chair.
First, then, after
**YES/NO==WHY? **CHOOSE==WHY?
Commonly used
ES / NO = Certainly, Absolutely, Ofcourse, without a doubt. Because = Its mainly because, Its primarily due to the fact that, The main reason is that ... I like = I am really into , I am mad about, I am passionate about, I adore, I prefer I think= In my opinion, As far as I am concerned, As for me, The way I see it...
Take note Part 1 should be answered from 2-4 sentences per question and be direct to the point no need to use high level of vocabulary yet. Be natural.
4-5 minutes, 10-11 questions (these sound childish and need to be answered as quickly and fluently as possible), 3 topic areas
4 questions about one topic (3 topics totally)
Now let's talk about sport...
2-3 introduction questions
Q: Do you work or are you a student? A: I'm a qualified doctor, but at the moment I'm studying English.
Q: Do you enjoy your job/studies? A: Yes, I love working as a doctor because I like helping people. But I'm not enjoying studinng English so much.
Q: Would you like to get a different job in the future? A: No, I'm really happy with the career that I've chosen, so I have no plans to change jobs.
*In Part1, the most important thing to score is to be smooth and not stuck, otherwise you can't get a high score from part1, REMEMBER:
try to show fluency don't stop and think don't worry about vocabulary or grammar it's an easy warm-up give short, simple answers, but use full sentences.[part1, the examiner expects short answers, not long answers, but must be complete sentences, not just a few phrases] stop with confidence[*very important]. Don't keep talking and smiling at the examiner!
Best technique: Answer the question..., then give a reason or extra details.
eg: Q: What's your favorite color? A: My favorite color is blue because it's the color of the sky on a nice day.
A good way to practice
eg: Do you like xxx? games, walking, gardens
Part2 [① Under the premise of fluency, the most important things are vocabulary, ideas and content; ② Grammer, linking and structure are not important; ③ The speech is natural without traces of recitation, and details are given]
3-4 minutes, 1 minute to prepare, speak for 2 minutes, task card
Technique
*In Part 2, the most important points to score are vocabulary (less common, good) and ideas, not grammar or linking (if you focus too much on grammar and cohesion, it will affect expression and speaking speed, and you will get stuck). It's about content, not structure. To speak naturally and explain in detail.
make notes: Quickly decide what you're going to talk about (The first thing that comes to your mind when you see the question is related to the topic, so say what you're going to talk about)
When in the exam, follow the points on the task card. (Not required, but it will help complete the sentence structure)
During the process of answering questions in Part 2, you can look at the questions and notes. You must answer one question after each question. It will be more natural to use a paraphrase at the beginning of your answer. When answering the next question, you must look at the question again to let the examiner know that you did not memorize it. But he answered naturally.
You can answer the questions by looking at the question board. There must be interaction, exaggerated tone and body language; answer the questions in order, don’t miss any questions, choose 2 2 2 6 (60s) to answer the questions, the fourth question is the most important
Look at the examiner's eyes. If you are nervous, look at your neck. Pay attention to your expression.
The description should have a logical relationship: time, place, people, events
Be sure to delete some obvious words in part 2. Don’t let the examiner know that this question can be used for other questions. If you are considered to have memorized the question, your score will be very low. In addition, you must slow down your speaking speed.
The tenses need to be accurate, especially the past tense. If you are afraid of making mistakes, it is best to use the present perfect tense uniformly.
It is not necessary to answer all four small points. If a certain point is too difficult, you don’t have to talk about it. You don’t have to talk about your own experience, but talk about other people’s experiences or a certain book or movie.
P2’s question should be answered in one sentence. P2=4*P1
subtopic
Part3【Point of view must be prepared in advance and talk at length】
It is forbidden to design reasons based on opinions, but opinions should be designed based on reasons - reasons and explanations are more important
It is forbidden to use adj to directly end the answer, and it must be explained.
It is forbidden to use social experience (playing ball can strengthen the body) to summarize directly as the answer.
Remind yourself in the exam room
Speaking: Review and practice based on frequency, personal testing is very effective; in Parts 1 and 3, answer less background questions, and answer questions directly to the point. The same is true for Part 2, but especially Part 3, because some of the answers given by Thumb English have too much background, remember Answer what you ask first, and if there is still enough time, continue to add groundwork. --2021.3 exam experience
Speech speed is too fast, and the memory trace is too heavy; the speed of the sentences is too different, familiar ones are faster, unfamiliar ones are slower, which will leave the examiner with traces of memorizing questions and preparing for them. This kind of maximum 5.5
Solution: It must be acted out - you hear all the questions he asks you for the first time, and then give the answers randomly. You must pretend to be like this; 2) There must be appropriate pacing/speed --- proper pausing --- emphasize keywords. For sentences that you are not familiar with, try to slow down your speaking speed to reduce lag. For sentences that you remember and are familiar with, you must deliberately slow down and add exaggerated emotions.
If you can't remember how to express it, just use substitution.
Replacement of marginal words (it is better to use inaccurate words, but also to maintain coherence. 5-6 inaccurate words will only deduct 0.5 of the vocabulary, but if it is incoherent and there are a few pauses in the middle, it is impossible to exceed 6 points) . eg: limited——small, little
Replace with the same context. eg: friendly——positive word
explain substitution
Fluency is poor. Too many hesitations and unnecessary pauses, grammatical errors or pronunciation errors. Don’t repeat. Just skip. Don’t be timid about frequent self-correction and repetition – 6 points maximum.
The solution is: read like crazy and read 10 for each answer
Connectives are very important, but you cannot use too many low-scoring connectives, such as and, I think, well, I mean, because, etc. Commas cannot connect complete simple sentences. These need to be removed and replaced with high-scoring words and sentences.
Use I mean when correction is needed
Several mock test teachers said that my pronunciation was not clear.
Speak English confidently and out loud so that the examiner is impressed and can easily hear your answers
Practice idiomatic pronunciation
intonation --- rise & fall; weaken the final sound and emphasize the content words; speed up the simple parts and slow down the important parts
adj pay attention to expressing the emotion of adj. The emotion is consistent with the Chinese emotion: positive context-laughing, negative context-frowning.
The features of connected speech"Characteristics of connected speech"
Intrution intrusion sound
When one word ends with a vowel and the next word begins with a vowel, there is an intrusion sound, usually a sound is added, /j/, /w/, or /r/, to make Pronunciation is smoother. We might also have an intrusive /w/ where we have an /u/ sound.
eg: The media/r/ are waiting outside.
eg: We saw/r/ Anna/r/ on Youtube.
[The word "saw" ends with the "w", which is a consonant "consonant", but the word "saw" ends in a vowel "long vowel" sound the long /ɔː/ vowel "vowel". We have /ɔː/ going into "a" of Anna, therefore we need intrusive /r/.
eg: I've got my eye/j/ on you.
eg: It's just me/j/ and you.
eg: Lay/j/ out your books nicely.
eg: Do you want to/w/ ask a question?
eg: I can do/w/ it after my lunch break.
Do/w/ up your laces "laces" and go/w/ outside.
Linking
When we have a consonant word ending followed by a vowel beginning. The speaker will stick them together making themselves like one word.
It's not on(noton) today.
Not at all.(notatall)
Walk around.(walkaround)
It's no joke.(snow joke) "This is no joke"
Elision reason omitted
Elision basically just means deletion. When a word or group of words form a very complex sequence of consonants, then one or more of the sounds ma be elided deleted basically. If a syllabus is unstressed and contains the schwa sound, then it's often lost deleted and got rid of thrown away.
'int(e)rest
'sim(i)lar
'libr(a)ry
'diff(e)rent
Let's go to a diff(e)rent libr(a)ry.
The "t" and "d" sound particularly when they are in the middle or at the end of a word are most commonly elided gotten rid of"usually not read"--not all the time, just some of the time, mostly when the t or the d appears within a lot of consonant"consonant", what's known as a constant cluster"consonant ligature".
Chris(t)mas
San(d)wich
Nex(t) Monday mus(t) be your birthday.
I(t) was our first(t) time last(t) week.
But if the words stand alone and perhaps it ends the sentence, if you're speaking a lot slower, being emphatic, don't miss them off. lost".
I(t) was my last chance and you took i(t) from me.-- There'll be very emphatic, so we'll keeping those ts nice and strong.
We sometimes miss the "d" off in the "and".
You an(d) me keep(t) going.
ed
We stopped(ed) working hours ago.
h--When omitted, don't skim too much, but also be careful with omitting those "not reading those" ts, ds and hs.
You shouldn't (h)ave left.
Can you tell (h)im to come back?
How is (h)e?--We should put the initail H on "We should read the initial H" that is important, because it is a stressed syllable" stressed syllable".
Example of mixed features
The Nile is(Nilis, continuous reading) the longes(t) river in(riverin) the world.
David (h)as go(t) two portions, bu(t) the others (h)ave go(t) three.
Use high-score expressions
On the premise of ensuring fluency (even if you cannot recall high-scoring and accurate vocabulary), try to diversify the words and use multiple substitutions to reduce the use of multiple words.
You can use high-scoring vocabulary to replace low-scoring vocabulary, accumulate paraphrase solutions, directly memorize word combinations, and only memorize high-scoring expressions.
collocations [6.5 required], that is, native expressions, such as idioms = cup of tea - interested in
Do not use particularly basic vocabulary, such as good, bad, thing
Must use sentence pattern
"There be"——there be

Accumulation of spoken language templates
stall for time - fluency comes first, use connectives and filler words (filler words and sentences) to resolve stalls, logic needs to be expanded - it is best not to use this

eg: Is there anything you don't like about your hometown?
Of course I think I’d have to say that I’m not keen on the weather. To be more precise, I really ... I can’t stand the summer months. This is due to the fact that the temperatures can get as high as 40 degrees so it can be quite uncomfortable if you don't have air conditioning in your house. In addition to this, I'm not really that fond of the public transport system. And I guess this is probably because the buses are too old and the seats are really hard, so long journeys are usually pretty bumpy (adj. bumpy ; bumpy).

If you have enough time, write down the general content of each card yourself and memorize it. However, you should not write it too completely and leave some blank space for improvisation. Foreign examiners are more disgusted with answers that have obvious traces of recitation. If your foundation is not solid, it is recommended to review it 2 to 3 times to enhance fluency and reduce grammatical errors. As for the first and third parts, it is definitely too late to prepare answers to every question, but you should at least take a look at each topic to avoid getting stuck on the spot.

eg: Describe a famous person you would like to meet. You should say: Who the person is… Why he/she is famous Why you would like to meet this celebrity What you would like to do if you met this person.
I guess I could begin by saying something about who this person is, and I think I would have to choose the superstar Jackie Chan (Jackie Chan) from Hong Kong. Going to my next point which is why he is famous, I really need to add that he is a world-renowned martial arts film star as well as being a successful director. In fact he was probably the first Chinese actor to achieve blockbuster success in Hollywood. And now with reference to why I would like to meet this celebrity, the point I want to make here is that I have always been a big fan of martial arts movies, so if I had the chance to meet one of my childhood idols, it would be a dream come true. And so finally then, if I have time, in answer to the question of what I would like to do if I met him, really I should mention that I would probably ask him to teach me a few special Kung Fu tricks and I would possibly invite him out for dinner at a classy restaurant or something like that.

To answer your question...
Talk about a concept in the question
eg: Do you think children should start watching news from a young age? - You can first explain the concepts of children and news, and then answer the question.
Add reasons to support your opinions.
Use examples from your own life. For example, say you heard in a recent study--In a recent survey, researchers discovered that children 30 years ago did five hours of exercise or physical activity every week. Now, the average is just one hour of activity a week.
Speculate and talk about possibilities
eg: Q:Do you think that children do less sport and exercise than in the past? A: Yes, I agree. 【reason】 Children have more homework and are under more pressure at school, so they have less time to play sports or do something outside. For 【example】, when I was younger, I played outside with my friends every day after school. Nowadays, I never see children playing outside. 【possibilities】I'm not sure why that is. Maybe it's beacuse they spend more time online, playing video games and so on. However, spending time online, playing video games and so on. However, spending time online can also help to get children interested in new sports and activities. It's much easier to find sports clubs and activities in your local area now, thanks to technology.

Well to be honest, actually, I suppose that for the most part I'd probably say that it really depends. Like for instance, if I have the money, then it’s quite possible that I will watch a movie in the cinema, two or three times a month. You know cinema tickets are pretty pricey in China. Whereas in contrast, if I’m broke, it’s more likely that I’ll watch movies at home on DVD; you probably know that DVDs are quite cheap here, especially compared to the price of a cinema ticket.

eg: Who do so many people want to be famous?
In my opinion I guess I would have to say that there are probably a number of factors involved. Primarily, one key motivation would be because they think they would be able to make more money. As well as this a subsequent incentive might be because they want to live in a big house and drive an expensive car.
eg: Tell me about the different types of public transport in your city.
Of course, it goes without saying that there’s quite a mixed variety of public transport in my city. Though I think the most commonly-used would potentially be buses. And the explanation for this could be that they are so cheap and reliable. In fact the average bus fare in my city is about one yuan for a single journey. As well as buses, a second variety of public transport would be something like taxis. And one exceptional (adj. superior, outstanding) aspect with taxis is that they are certainly the quickest way to get around town. So if you're in a hurry then taxis are the best bet. Likewise, as might be expected, there’s things like ferries, motorcycle taxis and trains, although there are not as widely-used as the first two I mentioned.

Certainly, I'm sure that most people would agree that there will be a number of major changes related to this. Initially, I guess that we might begin to see houses that are much bigger.

So in the main, I suppose the answer is probably yes and no.
eg: Is healthy eating important?
Well in actual fact, if I think about it, I guess that in many ways it’s fairly important, especially when you consider that a healthy diet can help to prevent a variety of diseases and health problems such as diabetes and obesity. But you have to understand that eating unhealthy food in moderation is not overly harmful. In fact unhealthy food is often tastier than healthy food so I guess it’s fine to eat a little junk food now and then. So all in all I guess my answer would have to be yes and no.

Well I suppose that there are a few clear benefits, but I would probably say that for the most part, the one thing that really stands out is that trains are really cheap, especially for long distance travel – you can travel from one side of China to the other for a few hundred yuan. I guess that another The obvious plus point is that it is much faster than traveling by road --- so you can save time by traveling on trains. Along with this, a further merit is that you can sleep quite comfortably on long train journeys.
shortcoming
Introduction
I think it’s fair to say that there are a few negative aspects.
I’m sure most people would agree that there are some drawbacks.
Of course there are a couple of shortcomings.
First disadvantage

Unquestionably, the most adverse feature would be that…
The first reason for shortcomings
Most people would agree that this is problematic because…

Second disadvantage

At the same time, another stumbling block might be that…
The second reason for shortcomings
And the trouble with this is that…
And this can be a hassle because…
This is usually an aggravation because…
eg: What are the disadvantages of train travel?
think it's fair to say that there are a few negative aspects. I suppose the most unfavorable quality might be that trains are often crowded at certain times of year. This is a clear limitation because on a long journey you might not be able to find a seat which means you have to stand up for hours. At the same time, another stumbling block might be that trains tickets are sometimes difficult to buy, especially around Spring Festival, and this can be a hassle because it means you can't always travel on the actual day that you want to.
"Problems"
1. Obviously we can see there are quite a lot of dangers with regard to this issue
2. First and foremost, one major is probably that…
3. Essentially, one fundamental concern is probably that…
4. In my view there a number of actions that could be taken
5. I react to the initial issue ,the most effective to get to the root of the
problem would be to….
6. Now, taking into account the second challenge, the only to get to the bottom
of this dilemma would be to ….
eg: What problems are caused by the increased use of private cars?
It's universally accepted that there are a few hazards involved with the increase in the use of private cars. Essentially, one fundamental concern is probably that it leads to an increase in pollution. This fact is unmistakably perturbing because we are facing huge global pollution problems at the moment. Additionally, another major cause for concern has to be the fact that cars consume huge amounts of our energy resources. And the underlying repercussions of this are that we will soon be confronted with a global energy crisis.

"solution solution"
eg: There are many problems associated with the increase use in car use. How could these problems be solved?
In my view, there are a number of actions that could be taken. When dealing with the first problem, the easiest way to work it out would be to develop new technology for car engines which doesn't cause air pollution, maybe some kind of special exhaust filter. Taking on the second problem, the most successful way to confront this would be to invest heavily on research into alternative sources. In fact, I’ve heard that we have already produced a car which runs on water.
Introduction
In my view there are a number of actions that could be taken.
I honestly believe that there are a few ways to tackle these problems.
Well I think we could go about this in a number of ways.

Qian Duoduo’s Platinum Class: Human Being Theory, Coding Theory
The oral test is about communication! Communication! Communication! Not recitation! It’s not recitation! Communication means that you can use simple vocabulary or simple sentence patterns, but it needs to be natural and To have a cadence, you need others to be able to feel your emotions and tone.
Sound library and morning exercise materials - read at least ten times a day,
·Part1: Qian Duoduo’s method is to define a good thinking mode. Each answer is to think in a similar direction, but uses different vocabulary and stories; use the P1 dialogue given by Yang Shuai, treat yourself as an opponent to have a dialogue, and form the third One-second reaction to prevent pause tension, this is a great way to develop a one-second reaction without too many pauses.
·Part2： This is the best and most effective Part 2 method I have seen on the market. I also relied on this to get a score of 7 in the exam, and a student with a very poor foundation got a score from 4 to 6 in the exam. so! This part is the key to scoring in speaking! The method to make a lot of money is also very simple. All the logical thinking in Part 2 has been listed for you. Basically you already know what each sentence says and how to connect it. You just need to fill in the content for different questions.
Part3: Read more ideas in Part 3. Sometimes the third part can't be said because the mind is not spinning fast. Maybe even Chinese speakers don't know how to debate, so don't speak English. In this part, in addition to Qian Duoduo’s thoughts in the last class, I strongly suggest that you can use the ABC expansion method and logic of writing compositions, and you should accumulate more thinking in compositions. The most important thing is to be fluent and don’t pause for too long! And then there’s the content! Basically every question requires deep thinking. The reason why I ask you to use writing thinking is because this kind of thinking is the most logical. Of course, if you can't think of it, then follow Qian Duoduo's method and talk about each topic from both sides. The main thing is to think quickly! Read more topics and accumulate materials (you can accumulate them at the same time as your composition).
Talk about a topic 10 times according to the logical coding (not just talking, you have to memorize all the logical coding content and connectives in your mind), then this pattern can be formed, and then change to different topics, and you You can also learn to fill in content. Remember: This is the same as a math problem. The teacher gives the formula. It looks really simple in class, but you may not be able to do it yourself, so you must practice it. If you can’t master it, just say it to it 20 times, and you will master it once and for all. ! Pay attention to time during daily practice, including preparation time and narration of events. The preparation time is 1 minute and the narrative time is 1.5 minutes. When I was preparing for the IELTS test for the first time, I didn't make good use of the 1 minute of preparation. The examiner gave me a pen and I didn't know what I wanted. So this needs to be practiced. The little trick is that the preparation time is within 1 minute, because you already know what each sentence means and are familiar with the connecting words (this is what you must master after reading Qian Duoduo's course). You only need to think about the filling content and compare it. The question prompts you to write keywords.
Use Gu Jiabei's writing ABC to expand your thinking, as well as the slang and vocabulary in the book, and improve the authenticness of the language. The most taboo thing about P3 is that it is too different from P1 and P2. This will expose the language foundation and be considered as reciting P1 and P2.
The book is very comprehensive, and you need to try to ask questions in Chinese according to the given questions, and think about how the other party would ask questions in English. Some questions can be divergently thought based on Gu Jiabei's writing, and you can answer positive and negative answers. This will be very helpful for your speaking.
Yang Shuai’s oral high score class
Pay attention to the logic of P1P2, Yang Shuai’s 99 sentences (very important, read 0.5h every day)
·Watch at most one course a day, and slow down your speaking speed. Spend 2-3 days practicing digestion after finishing one class, and then continue to the next class.

YasiGe APP--from high frequency to low frequency
The IELTS app collects statistics on what questions students have taken in each examination center across the country, so it can naturally predict them. As long as it is not a question change month, it can accurately sort out high-frequency questions and low-frequency questions. After watching Qian Duoduo's course, you can compare it with IELTS and prepare from high frequency to low frequency. Brother Ya only needs to read the questions, not Brother IELTS’s answers. The answer is to think according to Qian Duoduo's method and say it yourself! ! ! When preparing, it is recommended that you time and record each time. If possible, you can ask family members or classmates to do it opposite you to simulate the atmosphere of the exam.
I predict you will get high scores - all oral questions (high frequency will be listed as the month changes) Website: http://ouyu.lyuce.com

When practicing p2, you need to pay great attention to time and grammar, especially tense. The time needs to be limited to 2 minutes. After you finish speaking, you cannot rush to speak. You must speak at a normal speed. If you speak too fast, it will appear that you are in a hurry, or it will sound like you are in a hurry. It is memorized, and during daily practice, you can simulate scenes in your brain and change your expressions to make your P2 appear more realistic. Reality.
Whether it is Frank Huang Hansheng, Yu Lei, Yang Shuai, Qian Duoduo or those particularly well-known oral teachers, students have all told me that the examiner directly pointed out whether the material was so and so, that is, these fixed materials were in the ears of the examiner. I have become accustomed to it (I have screenshots of some students’ feedback), so if you just memorize the material instead of learning the logic and directly memorize the material part 2, it is likely to be counterproductive. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you memorize all Yang Shuai’s spoken language materials according to your own All life scenes are changed and then accumulated. --Be sure not to use materials from the above-mentioned famous teachers. You can use materials from Gujiabei. For Part 3, pay attention to the layering of answers. Do not make the answers to simple questions and complex questions too consistent in depth.
You must write ideas and key words for 1 minute during the exam. If you write nothing, it will arouse the examiner's suspicion.
idea
Part 2 will be interrupted if it exceeds the time limit - points will be deducted because the logic is not fully expressed, so you should control your own time rhythm during normal contact.
Part 3: Each question should be answered for a longer time.
·Spoken English is always taught based on logic. If you think that speaking should be based on content, memorize the materials and then piece them together, this is absolutely unscientific.
·For oral practice, the most taboo thing is to write it down. Please note that if you cannot write it in the exam, such as PlP3, you must not write it when you practice normally. If you can write P2 in the exam, you can only write it according to the exam method when practicing.
On the day of the exam, when you enter the building, the teacher who asked you to find the exam room tells you which floor to go to. Find the waiting room on that floor. If you forget which floor it is on, ask the staff directly. When you arrive at your examination room, there are tables and stools outside. Then follow the instructions of the staff to enter the examination room. After entering the examination room, you can only bring your ID card and wait for the examiner to come out and call you. The previous candidate may have already come out of your examination room at this time. Remember not to talk to him, and don't knock on the door yourself. The examiner may be summarizing and grading. If you go in hastily, it will make a bad impression, so wait outside and sit on the stool with only your ID card. When you are waiting outside, you will be very nervous. You need to constantly give yourself inner hints to relax and think more about good things, such as being happy that you have passed the exam. After a few minutes, you will find that when you go in you will be very relaxed Because you are not going in to recite, but communicating!! And a living examiner is talking to you face to face, so you just imagine that you You are talking to your future landlord. Some examiners are handsome, and some are very kind and serious. Generally speaking, they are It will be very polite, and you will find yourself very calm at this time, because it is equivalent to a normal face-to-face conversation. After the beginning is part 1, asking some personal questions. Part 2 examiner will give you You have a whiteboard and a marker. You have 1 minute to prepare. You will be given a pen and paper to write your ideas on during preparation. The interview will be followed by a 2-minute presentation. When the time is up, you will be asked to stop. Don’t rush to continue speaking before you finish speaking. Just stop. Well, please note that the examiner is testing your communication skills, not your narrative skills. If you have given him several questions before If you answer all the points, there will be no points deducted. Part 3 is mainly an extension of Part 2 and covers a wide range of topics. I have given the website of Xiaozhan Education before. Some of the questions examined by the examiners in part 3 are the same. Remember that speaking mainly tests your communication skills, so it should be natural and not too stiff. Just imagine that you are having a face-to-face conversation with your landlord after you go abroad.
(1) If you have enough time, it is recommended that you prepare all the speaking questions for the season. It is not necessarily necessary to write down every question completely in English. You can review the questions in Chinese or English and then write the headline and practice speaking directly. (2) For oral practice, it is best to record and listen back, focusing on: pronunciation and intonation, whether the answers are logical and coherent, whether the vocabulary is relatively rich, etc., and often summarize and improve. Make sure your answers are relatively coherent, but don't speak too fast just because you've been prepared, and don't show signs of memorization. Pay special attention in the examination room. The preparation time for Part 2 is 1 minute. Please be sure to write down the headline of how to answer this topic. You cannot just write nothing because you are fully prepared, and then answer it fluently. This will definitely be accepted. I think the score won't be high if you memorize it. During the answer, try to keep your speaking speed as moderate as possible. You can pause appropriately and pretend to be thinking about the next answer. (3) If you have enough energy, you can classify the materials in the current season’s oral English question bank into: characters, events, things, places, etc., and combine them to prepare purple materials (suitable for babies with a certain English proficiency. If you insist on formulating questions, you may be discovered by the examiner, and the gain outweighs the loss. ).
Revise
1. Timing and recording; 2. Absolutely no pause, Part 1 asks and answers its own questions; 3. Don’t memorize the answers. Use Qian Duoduo’s method to organize the framework based on the points you learned on Thumb English. After recording, summarize the problems you encountered in each question. Are you stuck and didn’t use filter words, or was the pause wrong, or is it? There is a syntax error. . . , or the logic is wrong, or there is not enough time to tell. . . 4. Note that the speaking test not only tests the ability to answer questions, but also tests the ability to communicate - so in daily practice, you should be natural, emotional and not too rigid.
