Speaking Tips —from a BAND9 Achiever

　　口语技巧-一个9分考生的自白

　　A good vocabulary and content are important, BUT in my opinion, “Presentation precedes content, fluency precedes vocabulary” for the speaking exam. Adopt good presentation skills (eye-contact, pauses, speaking not too fast or slow). Read up and visualize a few possible questions. Make your answers exciting and passionate.

　　(对于雅思口语考试来说，presentation重要过内容，流利程度比词汇量重要。好的演说技巧是很重要的，比如眼神交流，适当的停顿，不要说太快也不要说太慢等等。这会让你的答案变得更有趣更有激情。)

　　Fluency takes precedence over vocabulary, and if you feel you have forgotten the words, it is better to display a level of fluency with simple terms you know rather than struggle with numerous pauses while searching for the perfect word.

　　( 如果在口语考试的时候突然忘记了某一个单词某个词组，更好的解决办法是用一系列的简单词汇来描述它，来保持流利度，而不是一直纠结于这个忘记的词汇词组，以至于出现了很多不必要的停顿而扣分。)

　　Immediately before the exam – speak English：Freshen up before the speaking exam (there is usually a gap between the writing and speaking exams).

　　(通常在写作考试和口语考试之间会有一段时间甚至是半天的间隔，最好是可以拿这段时间来练口语。把你脑中的语言模式转换成英语，可以在真实考试中避免很多不必要的口语和停顿。)

　　Speak at a reasonable pace—NOT too fast or too slow. You can practice this by recording your normal speech and monitoring it, or foisting yourself on a good English speaking person and asking for his feedback.

　　(用一种适中的语速讲话，不要太快也不要太慢。平时练习的时候，你可以录下你自己所说的话，然后回放，看一下自己的语速是否适中、大致问题在哪。或者也可以找一个说英语的朋友，让对方给你一些回馈)

　　Key advice – extend your answer appropriately

　　重点来了-适当扩展你的答案

　　For example:

　　Question: “How many languages do you speak?”

　　Answer: “Two. Chinese and English.”
