我亲亲的小伙伴们~~~

2017下半年的四六级口语考试报名已经开始啦~~

熟悉套路的同学应该对口试任务并不陌生啦~~

不熟悉的也木有关系，有小U在呢！！

下面就跟小U一起来看一下四六级口试都有哪些内容吧~~

四级口试（CET Spoken English Test -- Band Four）

六级口试（CET Spoken English Test -- Band Six）

经小U实地考察啊，双人对话可以说是一个太需要实力来护驾的任务没错了！那么如何在双人对话中既能做到有话可说，又能和partner“尬聊”不尴尬呢？

今天小U带来的金点子是：双人对话——谈！利！弊！

电子支付（electronic payment）自打出道以来就独得广大消费者恩宠，更是被列为中国“新四大发明”之一啊！

电子支付的话题热度始终未减，它更是出现在了今年上半年的口语考试中哦！最重要的是，小U电台上半年在考试前为大家押中了这道考题！！

所以说信小U，过四六级嘛~~~

今天小U就以电子支付为例，教大家准备如何应对口语考试中需要谈某一现象类话题的【利弊】。

任何关于现象的话题都是有利有弊（advantages and disadvantages）的~ 当然啦，如果要求小伙伴们在短短几分钟内不仅要想到优缺点，还要组织好语言表达，同时还要应付自己的partner，掐指一算，这个难度有点大额……

聊到一件事物的利弊，先给宝宝们普及一个知识点——利益相关者（stakeholders），指和一个现象的发生能产生关联的任何人群或组织。那么电子支付的stakeholders有哪些呢？最直接的当然就是消费者和商家了。每一个stakeholder都可以从利弊两方面来看哦~

那么谈到利弊，又有哪些角度可以帮助小伙伴们有话可说呢？

下面我们来看一下具体的实例吧~~

Stakeholder 1：消费者

电子支付对消费者有什么advantages呢？

First, it is really convenient. All we need is just a smartphone. We don't even have to carry our wallet, because electronic payment saves us from carrying a large amount of cash. If we are going to buy something really expensive, electronic payment would be safer and more convenient, too.

电子支付帮助我们实现了出门不带钱的小心愿，一个手机潇洒出门，避免了携带现金的麻烦。

那么电子支付对消费者有没有disadvantages呢？

当然有了，如果手机被偷而身上连一块钢镚儿都抠不出来，这就很尴尬了。

Well, I'm afraid that people would depend too much on electronic payment. You see, if your smartphone got stolen, and you were out alone and penniless, you would be in a very awkward and even dangerous situation.

如果你有类似的亲身经历，还可以适当举个例子哟，既可以增加说服力，也可以让对话生动起来！

I remember that my roommate just had such an experience. And from then on, he always carries some cash when hanging out.

此外，电子支付的安全性目前还会让人担忧，很多人会担心自己的私人信息遭到泄露。

Security can also be a problem! Many consumers are concerned about the security of electronic payment. Yes! Many people are afraid that their personal information or even their passwords may get revealed. To tell you the truth, my mother is just one of them. She never puts too much money in her Alipay account or Wechat account.

Stakeholder 2：商家

商家角度的advantages有哪些呢？电子支付的便利性使商家获得更多的收益。

The sellers apparently would welcome electronic payment, because it would definitely encourage consumption and bring more profits.

而且，商家也减少了现金交易，安全又便捷。

They don't have to prepare a large amount of small change. And they won't worry too much about the safety of money.

有没有disadvantages呢？部分传统型的零售商可能会受到很大的冲击，

And some traditional retailers, especially those in small towns, may be affected, because they might have no equipment for electronic payment. So they may lose their customers or even get eliminated from the industry.

他们不愿意或者没有能力提供电子支付方式，损失了一部分消费者，甚至有可能遭到行业的淘汰。

除了消费者和商家之外, 电子支付的stakeholders还有许多，关联到整个国家经济、立法机关、执法机关等。在口语考试中，我们应该选择最好讲、最日常的下手，能hold住的就是最优选择。

好啦好啦~接下来呢~ 小U再送大家一个锦囊哦！

对话礼仪之如何应对“话唠队友”？

口语考试中规定：“在双人对话任务中，若其中一方说话内容过少，另一方说话内容过多，将导致系统不识别上传音频，也就意味着这两位考生此场考试失败，只能等待下一场考试，从头至尾重新再考一次。”

宝宝们眉头一皱，发现问题并不简单。现实告诉我们碰到奇葩队友的概率还是很高的……

万一遇到“话唠”队友该怎么办呢？？

请注意接好机智破解“话唠”队友的小U锦囊！

情景：If you are "lucky" enough to meet a partner like this…

“话唠”队友：

Let’s plan the trip to Canada. Oh I’m so excited! But there are still one or two things we need to do before we go. Like going to the travel agency and figuring out what do to there...

应对：

Make a polite interruption like this...

礼貌地打断对方以掌握话语权，继续表达个人观点或者换个话题。

“机智”的你可以：

版本1：Exactly! But before we go to the travel agency, I think we need to get the passport and the visa first...

版本2：Yeah! I agree with you. By the way, something else we should do is to ensure a secure trip. For example...

比较常用的套词一定要记起来：

Well,…

Well, let me see…

That’s a good idea. Something else I’d like to know is…

Sounds great! By the way…

And another thing…
