三一口語證書在小升初中的重要地位
Clearly one of the best ways to prepare for the Speaking part of the Preliminary English Test (PET) is to speak in English as often as possible. However, you can also help to prepare yourself by finding out as much as you can about the test in advance so that you know what to expect and can avoid any surprises.
Test overview
The Speaking Test is 25% of the marks for the whole PET exam. It takes between 10 and 12 minutes and is in four parts.
You will usually take the test with one other candidate. However, if there is an uneven number of candidates at your centre, the final Speaking Test will be a group of three (rather than two) and will last slightly longer.
There will always be two examiners. One of the examiners will give you the instructions during the test. The other examiner will just listen.
Tips:
·Practise your English, in and out of the classroom, as much as you can.
·Listen carefully to the examiner's questions.
·Ask the examiner if you don't understand what you have to do.
·Speak clearly so that both examiners and your partner can hear you.
·Remember that both the examiners want you to do well in the test.
What each part involves
Part 1
The test begins with a general conversation. The examiner will ask you questions about yourself, your daily routines, what you like and dislike etc. You and your partner will be asked questions in turn and you do not need to speak to each other at this stage. During this part of the test you will be asked to spell your name.
This conversation will test your ability to talk about everyday things. If you are nervous before the test, the conversation should help you to relax, as you will be talking about yourself using language you know well.
You only need to give short answers but try not to give one-word answers in this part.You should try to give longer answers with reasons and examples. Don’t prepare your answers before the test as these will not sound natural and you may not answer the question you have been asked.
Tips:
·Talk to the examiner, not your partner.
·Try to give more than one-word answers

Part 2
In this part of the test the examiner will describe a situation. They will then give you a sheet with pictures and will repeat the instructions while you look at the pictures. The pictures are to help you to think of ideas and to start the discussion.
In this part of the test you must talk to your partner. You will need to say what you think are good ideas and talk about the pictures which the examiner gives you.
You will be assessed on your ability to take part in the task. You will need to discuss the ideas fully with your partner, using the pictures to help you. You should not come to a quick conclusion as you may lose opportunities to show your language skills.
Tips:
·Talk to your partner, not the examiner.
·Ask your partner questions.
·Listen to your partner's answers and look at them to show you are interested in what they are saying.
·Give your partner a chance to speak too.

Part 3
In this part of the test, you and your partner are each given a colour photograph to describe. These photographs will show everyday situations and you will both be asked to give a simple description of what you can see in your photograph.
Both photographs will have a similar topic; the examiner will explain what this is. (This topic will be used to start the conversation in Part 4.)
In this part you can show the vocabulary you know and speak for a longer period. However, your descriptions will be simple and you only need to describe what you see in your picture.
You should describe the people and activities in your photograph as fully as possible. You should imagine that you are describing the photograph to someone who can’t see it, naming all the objects and including detail such as colours, people’s clothes, time of day, weather, etc.
If you do not know a word, this does not matter. You should try to describe the object in a different way and you will be given marks if you are able to do this.
Tips:
·Talk about everything you can see in the photograph.
·Try to paraphrase if there are words you don't know.

Part 4
In this part of the test you will speak with your partner. The examiner will first tell you what you need to do. The conversation will start using the topic from Part 3.
You will need to talk together, deciding when to let each other speak, when to ask questions and when to ask for opinions.
If, at any time during the test, you don’t understand something, you should ask the examiner or your partner to repeat what was said. You will not lose marks for this.
Tips:
·Talk to your partner, not the examiner.
·Ask your partner questions.
·Listen to your partner's answers and look at them to show you are interested in what they are saying.
·Give your partner a chance to speak too.
三一口語考試臨場發揮技巧
開始部分
打招呼：
Good morning/ Good afternoon, sir/madam.
談論天氣：
It is a wonderful day today.
Wow, it is raining today. I love the rain. It is so peaceful and so beautiful outside.
It's pretty cool today, isn't it?
It's a bit cloudy today, isn't it?
介紹自己：
Nice to meet you!
Nice to see you!
禮貌詢問是否可以坐下：
Can I take a seat please?
May I take a seat please?
May I have a seat please?
May I sit down please?
考試中的問題
聽懂了考官的問題，第一就是要評論
誇獎他的問題問的好，這樣顯示他的水平很好：
This is a very good question!
Wow, this is very interesting question!
Well, it's a very tough question.
This is a tricky question.
Thank you for your question. (當老師很正式的，並非打斷你的時候用)
沒聽清楚考官的問題，別猜，問他!
可以直接要求考官重複問題，沒關係，千萬不要沒聽懂還要亂猜，請保持鎮定(calm)，有禮貌的(polite)讓考官重複問題：
Would you please say it again?
Would you mind repeating the question?
I am afraid I don't quite catch what you said. Would you please say it again?
聽不懂考官的問題，太難，讓他換方式來問
可以讓考官換方式問，千萬別要求考官換問題：
Would you please put it in the other way?
Would you please rephrase it in the other way?
Would you mind putting it in the other way?
考官的問題有點難，你需要思考一下，拖延一下時間
千萬別冷場，一定要有些話來拖延，給自己思考時間：
That is really a difficult question for me.
Please let me 複習方法 think it over.
Let me see.
你不需要給出很深刻的解答，只需要有一個簡單的觀點，給出一個或兩個理由支援你的觀點就可以了。然後利用考官來配合你接續下去(發招給考官)。
開頭語的一些
表達自己的觀點要顯得很自然，很真誠，下面這些可能會幫助你開始：
To be honest
Frankly speaking
As far as I am concerned,
In my opinion,
From my point of view
Actually,
一些表達情緒的.詞彙
幫你凸顯你對考官的觀點和解釋已經理解並有反應：
That sounds reasonable.
That is great/fantastic/excellent/…
對考官的觀點做出反應
這是接招的第一步，不要讓談話生硬，而是要將從考官到自己的過渡做到流暢，這就需要你首先對考官的觀點做出反應， 之後引入自己的觀點，然後再"發招"給考官：
表示同意：
I cannot agree with you more.
I totally/completely agree with you.
I keep the same opinion.
We think alike.
表示不完全同意或者不同意：
I am afraid that I cannot agree with you.
Different people have different opinions.
To some degree, I agree with you, but I think we can think in another way.
和考官互動起來
千萬不要只顧著回答考官的問題，答完了就答完了，表述完自己的觀點和理由，"發招"給考官做互動的用法：
Do you agree with me, madam/sir?
What do you think madam/sir?
Do you have different opinion?
互動迴圈結構
一共兩種，分別是考試的第二部分和第三部分
第二部分，由考官發起，考生接招，給出觀點和理由，再發招給考官徵求意見。
第三部分，由考生髮起，給出觀點和理由，再和考官互動起來(發招給考官)。
考試結尾
一定要對考官表示感謝，也可以提出美好祝福，最後再見。
Thank you, sir/madam
Really appreciate your time.
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Enjoy the rest of the day.
See you. Bye. Good bye.
