A 節(jié)部分即口頭提問，是針對所給的Topic(主題)設(shè)計(jì)出若干問題，向考生發(fā)問。它出現(xiàn)在考試的起始階段和最后階段。在這兩部分中每位考生大約分別有一分鐘左右的時(shí)間回答問題，大概要說十句話左右。所以不能簡單地說上一兩句就結(jié)束了。因?yàn)樵诳陬^提問部分不給準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間，因此考生無論在考試前還是考試過程中都應(yīng)有足夠的準(zhǔn)備。

　　(1)事先學(xué)習(xí)使用一些表達(dá)方式給自己爭取一點(diǎn)時(shí)間思考。常用的表達(dá)方式有：

　　As everybody knows. Sofar as I am concerned.

　　What I mean is...Well...

　　That is to say...You know, ...

　　(2)重復(fù)考官的問題也是一種得體的方式，為的是讓自己有一點(diǎn)時(shí)間思考。

　　(3)考試中選擇自己熟悉的東西或事情來談，否則會由于有些詞不會用英文表述，而給自己造成麻煩。比如就音樂或書籍來講，考試時(shí)選擇一種會表述或表述較為容易的音樂或一本自己熟悉的書，比選擇一種自己真正喜歡的音樂或一本書更現(xiàn)實(shí)。

　　(4)考試中為了使自己回答問題的內(nèi)容更充實(shí)些，可以用列舉法或舉例說明法予以適當(dāng)展開闡述。

　　(5)考生在回答問題時(shí)，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)自己要說的話太少，或覺得無話可說時(shí)，不妨把自己想到的問題再詳細(xì)地說明或細(xì)化一下。
