1.考研復(fù)試英語口語面試細節(jié)
題目的難易程度并不是復(fù)試淘汰考生的關(guān)鍵因素,名次的前后才是直接的因素。因此復(fù)試中英語口語的測試也是相對簡單的,關(guān)鍵是如何將自己的實力良好的展示給主考官。
我當時進行英語口語的測試是,主考官先是讓我用英語來自我介紹(這個很簡單,但是也很能體現(xiàn)出一個學(xué)生的英語基本功)。因此我希望你們能事先把這段自我介紹精心準備,好達到倒背如流的程度,以此給導(dǎo)師一個好的印象,也可以增加自己的信心。
考研復(fù)試自我介紹之后,導(dǎo)師們會讓你朗讀一段英文短文給他們聽。這篇短文難度比六級閱讀理解的難度稍低,因此對于久經(jīng)沙場的我們來說,這個閱讀是小菜一碟,不過也不能掉以輕心,須知英語朗讀的過程實際上可以反映你對英語語言的理解,例如長句的停頓可以反映出你對英語語法的理解以及你的英語思維特點等等。
如果遇到生詞,不必停頓也不要跳躍不讀,你只要按照閱讀經(jīng)驗和習(xí)慣并依靠對這個單詞的構(gòu)詞方式將它讀出來就行了。讀完這篇文章后,導(dǎo)師會根據(jù)這篇文章問你1—3個簡單問題,也許他也會問你一些他比較感興趣的日常的熱門話題,你當然要用英語來回答,這時千萬不要擔心,用簡單的日常英語來做回答就行,三五句話就行,多說無益,還有可能暴露出更多的錯誤。
2.考研復(fù)試英語口語評價標準
對口語的考查,各個學(xué)校各不相同。有的學(xué)校制定了非常詳細的標準和流程,甚至規(guī)定了每個老師發(fā)問的方式和時間;有的只是面試老師的自由發(fā)揮,成績也基本上由面試老師主觀判定。
不管面試是否嚴格控制,考生對下面幾個問題一定要認真準備:一是自我介紹,如自己來自什么地方,畢業(yè)學(xué)校,所學(xué)專業(yè),業(yè)余喜好,家庭基本情況等信息;二是做好用英語講解自己專業(yè)的準備。
口語測試時老師有可能要求你就本專業(yè)展開話題,考查你用英語講解陌生概念的能力。
因此考生對此要有所準備,先用筆頭組織這些問題的要點,然后再以這些詞組織語言。在閱讀專業(yè)文獻時,也要多積累一些專業(yè)方面的英語詞匯。當然提問的問題不可能難度太高。
復(fù)試英語口語的評價標準是什么?
1)語言準確性(語法和用詞的準確性、語法結(jié)構(gòu)的復(fù)雜性、詞匯的豐富程度、發(fā) 音的準確性)
2)話語的長短和連貫性(內(nèi)容的連貫性、尋找合適詞語而造成的停頓頻率及長短、 表達思想的語言長短等)
3)語言的靈活性和適合性(語言表達是否靈活、自然,話語是否得體,語言能否 與語境、動能和目的相適應(yīng))
3.雅思口語素材之Old person
My grandmother Myra is a very dedicated woman. Once she sets her mind on something, then there’s no stopping her. In this case, that’s a good thing because to do what she did requires extreme dedication.
My grandmother is very close to her family. She’s probably the most loved member of the family. She’s kind, considerate and very generous. She adores dogs, especially Basset hounds. She’s extremely helpful wherever she goes. She also loves to cook (she’s not bad either). She’s the kind of person who will change her entire day’s plan in order to make someone she loves happy. She calls all of her grandchildren every single day. She always cares if we’re upset for any reason.
She was born in Montreal, Canada. Her mother died of cancer in her forties and her father wasn’t very supportive of her and her siblings. Because of this, my grandmother became extremely close with her sister Rhea. Today, they are the best of friends. They tell each other everything. My grandmother has three children, two daughters and a son. Her son lives in Israel, and her daughters live here. She also has a younger brother who she’s also close with.
Early in her life, my grandmother was a little chubby and she was picked on for it. Because she missed her mother so much, she turned to food for false love. Throughout the years she became more overweight. Like most people, my grandmother was not happy with her weight, but she never really did anything about it either. She had a close friend whom she loved dearly that once told her that she needed to do something about her weight if she didn’t want to die. Her extra weight caused her to have health problems. She had a stroke and heart problems and spent many years in a wheelchair. My grandmother decided enough was enough. She joined Weight Watchers and followed their plan. She started to see improvement. After a little while she completely abandoned all fatty foods and sweets. Soon after, she became committed to their plan and started losing weight very quickly. She lowered her portions of food considerably, and avoided a lot of carbohydrates and other things like that.
In the end she was very satisfied. She dropped over two hundred pounds and didn’t need her wheelchair anymore. Because of the experience she went through, she helps other people to slim down. Also because she knows how it feels to be overweight, she’s now a nutrition counselor. She knows more about food’s effect on health than anyone I know.
My grandmother taught me an invaluable lesson. Because of her dedication and perseverance, I’ve learned that no matter how tough a situation looks or how impossible it seems, if there’s a will, there’s a way. She has to be the most dedicated person I know. She never stops something when she’s in the middle. If someone asks her a question and she doesn’t know the answer, she’ll spend the whole day trying to figure it out. She is and always will be my hero.

Describe an educational visit that you made when you were in school.
You should say:
where you went
who you went with
what you did there
and explain what you learned on this trip.
When we visited Hong Kong during a winter holiday, my school teachers took us to the world famous Hong Kong Ocean Park. That was my first time to see so many live sea animals and got plenty of life experience not available on any of my textbooks.
The Ocean Park was very large indeed, and there was much to see inside. Nearly 3,000 fish of 280 breeds, in different colors and shapes were exhibited there. On the first floor, I was amazed by seeing such a big fish jar. As I took a closer look, I discovered really colorful fish inside, like a group of lovely little fairies. The fish were of all breeds, majority of them I could not name.
I told my teacher that I wanted to see dolphins and sea lions, as I heard sea lions and dolphins in the Ocean Park were very lovely. We were led to the Dolphin Study where dolphins show how they learn from human beings. Dolphins are lively creatures fond of making friends with people. They are the most intelligent undersea mammal. I really learned a lot that day. For example I learned that dolphins are good divers. They don't have gill, so they store much oxygen in their blood and muscle. The dolphins we saw were from one family; they stayed together all day long and would not separate, and accompanied each other all the time. I found that animals and human beings had so much in common.
That trip was fun and educational. From my personal experience, I believe field trips are essential in educating students in an all-around way.
