今天小U特邀王卉老师为大家着重强调一下口语考试的一个重要环节,也就是现场讨论。
心理建设方面
1专注但不紧张
口语考试,要追求一个动态的平衡。首先,不紧张。做几个深呼吸,尽量放松,因为过度紧张会让思维进入僵滞状态。
同时,不分心。还要注意保持专注和集中,提醒自己不要走神。特别是在对方考友开口讲话以后,跟上对方的语流,启动后台同步思考,随时准备开口。整个过程尽量不要去想无关的东西。
2态度有合有分
语言是一门人与人之间的表达艺术,考试也要有风度。
所谓合,是指要懂得如何配合。双人应考,本身就是个合作的形式。考官除了考察我们的语言能力,还会观察语言使用者的交流方式和交流技巧。因此,在讨论中,不要表现出自傲、急躁、不屑、甚至粗暴等不良沟通,更不要霸道地占据大量讨论时间,这会降低自己的印象分。
所谓分,指的是要鲜明地发出自己的声音,清晰讲出观点、思想、见解,避免被对方引导,或者一味跟着对方的思路和话题走。
3体验就是收获
交谈具有现场流变和鲜明的过程性的特点。相同的话题,不同的人总能说出不同的话语。人们会使用自己的词汇,凭借个体化的经验和认知,给出不同的看法,并得出不同的结论。因此,口语考试很难有一个绝对化的标准,也没有一个关于简单和难的唯一衡量尺度。
正因为这样,我们要告诉自己,成绩也许并不是最重要的。得了高分固然很好,但假使遇见高手,成绩并不令自己满意,这考试的过程本身就是一种难得的体验和收获。人生,活的不就是个体验吗。以这样的心态应考,就自带几分轻松,可能反倒能够发挥更好。
