第一天:熟悉流程与基础积累
- 上午:
- 观看PETS3口试官方说明视频,详细了解口试分为A、B、C三个部分。A部分是考官与考生问答,约2分钟;B部分是考生根据图片进行描述并发表观点,约3分钟;C部分是两位考生围绕给定话题讨论,约3分钟。明确各部分时间分配与考查重点。
- 梳理常见基础话题,像“介绍自己的家庭”“谈谈日常爱好”等。比如在准备“介绍自己家庭”时,脑海中构思家庭有几口人,每个人的职业、性格特点等关键信息。
- 下午:
- 进行基础口语表达练习,用英语描述自己当天的活动。例如:“I got up late this morning. Then I had a simple breakfast and started to study for PETS 3 speaking test. In the afternoon, I plan to practice some basic dialogues.”同时,注意语音语调,尽量模仿英语原声中的升降调。
- 找英语水平相当的伙伴,进行简单的日常对话练习。比如模拟在商店购物的场景:
- A: Good afternoon. Can I help you?
- B: Yes, I'm looking for a T - shirt. Do you have any in size L?
- A: Let me check. Yes, here you are. What color do you like?
- B: I prefer blue. How much is it?
- 通过这样的练习适应与他人用英语交流的节奏。
- 晚上:
- 回顾下午对话练习中出现的错误表达,比如想说“我想要”,不能直接用“I want”,更礼貌的表达是“I would like”,及时纠正并强化记忆。
- 听英语广播节目,如VOA慢速英语,在听的过程中可以尝试跟读,培养语感。
第二天:话题拓展与专项突破
- 上午:
- 深入准备个人相关话题。以“介绍自己的工作”为例,详细阐述工作内容、工作中遇到的挑战及收获。例如:“I work as a software engineer. My main task is to develop new applications. One of the biggest challenges is to meet the strict(严格的) requirements of clients. However, through continuous(持续不断的) efforts, I have successfully developed several popular apps, which brings me a great sense of achievement(带给我很大的成就感).”
- 针对每个话题,准备至少3 - 4个不同角度的拓展内容,像在介绍爱好是阅读时,可以拓展到喜欢的书籍类型、最喜欢的作者以及阅读对自己的影响等。
- 下午:
- 重点练习口试B部分。找一些历年真题中的图片,按照要求先仔细描述图片中的场景、人物、动作等。比如图片是一群人在公园里植树,描述可以是“There are several people in the park. They are all busy planting trees. Some are digging(挖) holes(坑), some are carrying young trees, and others are watering them.”然后发表自己对图片所反映现象(如环保行动)的观点。练习时给自己设定3分钟的时间限制,模拟考试场景。
- 与伙伴进行B部分的模拟练习,互相点评对方描述是否清晰、观点是否有深度、语言运用是否恰当等。
- 晚上:
- 整理当天积累的好词好句,如描述变化常用的“change a lot”“undergo great changes”,表达观点的“in my opinion”“as far as I am concerned”等,写在笔记本上并背诵。
- 观看一些英语演讲视频,学习演讲者的肢体语言和表达技巧,为口试中的表现加分。
第三天:全真模拟与心态调整
- 上午:
- 进行全真模拟口试。找安静的环境,严格按照考试时间和流程进行。在A部分回答考官问题时,保持微笑,眼神交流自然;B部分描述图片和发表观点时,注意逻辑清晰,分点阐述;C部分与虚拟伙伴讨论话题时,积极倾听对方观点,合理表达自己想法,不打断对方。例如在讨论“是否应该限制私家车使用”话题时:
- A: I think we should limit the use of private cars because they cause serious air pollution.
- B: I agree with you, but on the other hand, private cars provide great convenience(方便) for people's daily travel. Maybe we can encourage(鼓励) people to use public transportation(交通运输) more often.
- A: That's a good idea. Also, the government can introduce some policies to limit the number of cars on the road.
- 模拟结束后,对照评分标准给自己打分,分析扣分点。
- 下午:
- 针对模拟中暴露的问题进行最后冲刺训练。如果是口语流利度问题,就进行快速朗读英语文章练习;如果是观点拓展不足,就再找一些话题进行头脑风暴,丰富自己的观点库。
- 放松心情,做一些简单的运动,如散步、瑜伽等,缓解考试紧张情绪。
- 晚上:
- 检查考试所需物品,如身份证、准考证、笔等是否齐全。
- 提前规划好去考场的路线和出行方式,确保第二天能按时到达考场。早点休息,保证充足的睡眠,以良好的精神状态迎接考试。
重要事例:比如在第二天下午练习B部分时,有个考生一开始描述图片非常简单,只是说出了图片上有什么,没有进一步拓展和发表有深度的观点。经过伙伴的建议,他开始从多个角度思考,如图片反映的社会问题、产生的原因以及解决办法等。在之后的模拟练习中,他描述图片和发表观点的能力有了显著提升。再比如在第三天上午全真模拟时,有考生因为紧张,在A部分回答考官问题时出现了卡顿和重复表达的情况。通过下午针对流利度的强化训练,在真正考试时,他能够比较流畅地回答问题,最终取得了不错的成绩。
其他案例
PETS3口试A部分常考查考生日常交流及个人信息相关话题,B部分围绕图片描述与观点阐述,C部分侧重考生间就给定话题的讨论。以下为你列举历年常考的对话示例:
A部分:考官与考生问答
- 个人信息类
- 考官:Could you tell me something about your job?
- 考生:Sure. I'm a primary school teacher. I teach English to the third - grade students. It's a really rewarding job as I can see the kids grow and make progress every day.
- 考官:What do you like most about your job?
- 考生:I like the moment when students finally understand a difficult grammar point. Their happy faces and the sense of achievement they get are what I enjoy the most.
- 日常生活类
- 考官:How do you usually spend your weekends?
- 考生:On weekends, I often go to the gym to work out. It helps me relax and keep fit. Sometimes, I also hang out with my friends, maybe watch a movie or have a meal together.
- 考官:Do you prefer staying at home or going out on weekends?
- 考生:Well, it depends. If I'm really tired, I prefer staying at home, reading a book or watching TV. But if the weather is nice, I'd rather go out and enjoy the fresh air.
B部分:考生根据图片进行描述并发表观点
假设图片展示的是人们在拥挤的公交车上,有人在玩手机,有人在睡觉,有人在聊天。
- 考生A:In this picture, we can see a crowded bus. Passengers are standing closely together. Some of them are looking at their mobile phones, lost in the digital world. There's a young man sleeping with his head leaning against the window. And a group of ladies are chatting happily. This picture reflects the common scene of our daily commute. In my opinion, although public transportation is convenient, the crowdedness can be a bit uncomfortable. People should also be more considerate of others on the bus, like keeping their voices down when chatting to avoid disturbing those who want to rest.
- 考生B:Yes, I totally agree. The crowded bus shows the high population density in our city. The fact that many people are using mobile phones indicates that technology has become an important part of our lives, even during short trips. However, we should also try to interact more with people around us instead of just focusing on the phone. Maybe we could start a friendly conversation with the person next to us, which might brighten up our day.
C部分:两位考生围绕给定话题讨论
假设话题是“Is it necessary for students to have a part - time job?”
- 考生A:I think it's quite necessary for students to have a part - time job. Firstly, they can earn some pocket money, which helps them become more financially independent. For example, they can buy their own books or pay for entertainment. Secondly, it offers valuable work experience. They can learn how to communicate with colleagues and deal with work - related problems, which is beneficial for their future career. What's your opinion?
- 考生B:Well, I partly agree. While part - time jobs have many advantages, we also can't ignore the potential negative impacts. Students' main task is to study. If they spend too much time on part - time jobs, their study might be affected. For instance, they may not have enough time to do homework or prepare for exams. So, I think students should balance part - time jobs and study carefully.
- 考生A:That's true. Maybe they can limit the working hours, like working only on weekends for a few hours. Also, they could choose part - time jobs that are related to their majors, so they can learn practical skills while making money.
- 考生B:Good idea. In this way, students can gain experience without sacrificing their academic performance. They can also explore their interests and career directions through part - time jobs.
