今天,讓我們來(lái)攻克四級(jí)口試個(gè)人陳述關(guān)卡。

個(gè)人陳述主要考查學(xué)生使用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行表達(dá)和溝通的能力,對(duì)學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)綜合能力要求較高,考生在這兩項(xiàng)任務(wù)中的表現(xiàn)對(duì)四級(jí)口語(yǔ)考試能否取得優(yōu)異成績(jī)有著十分重要的作用!

?

題型解讀:要求考生就給定的話(huà)題進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)短闡述。主要考查考生能否圍繞某一話(huà)題展開(kāi)有邏輯、有條理的論述,能否用準(zhǔn)確、豐富、流暢的語(yǔ)言傳達(dá)信息??忌艘_、靈活地運(yùn)用不同的詞匯、語(yǔ)法、句型,更要著重提高口語(yǔ)表達(dá)的連貫性。題干以圖片、圖表或文字等方式呈現(xiàn)。

答題時(shí)間:1 分鐘,45 秒準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間。

實(shí)用技能:

1. 正確審題,聽(tīng)清指令

在個(gè)人陳述題中,考生務(wù)必要仔細(xì)聽(tīng)清指令,正確理解題目要求,避免答非所問(wèn),因此,在平時(shí)練習(xí)口語(yǔ)的時(shí)候,也應(yīng)注重提升聽(tīng)力能力。

2. 理清思路,列出提綱

考生在回答問(wèn)題時(shí)需將要點(diǎn)陳述清楚,避免泛泛而談。在準(zhǔn)備階段,考生可用紙筆記錄下關(guān)鍵信息,列出簡(jiǎn)明的提綱,以保證內(nèi)容的完整性和表達(dá)的流暢性。

3. 適當(dāng)升級(jí)詞匯句型

“詞匯和語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)的復(fù)雜性和豐富度”是四級(jí)口語(yǔ)考試一項(xiàng)重要的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中,要注意隨時(shí)更新自己的詞匯儲(chǔ)備。不建議一直使用簡(jiǎn)單句,但也不建議使用過(guò)于復(fù)雜的句型,考生應(yīng)根據(jù)自己的英語(yǔ)水平量力而行。

4. 注意及時(shí)總結(jié)收尾

個(gè)人陳述題有規(guī)定的答題時(shí)間,要注意有理有據(jù)總結(jié)收尾。常見(jiàn)的收尾句型有:

? ? ? ?In reality, these two factors explain the…

? ? ? ?All the above facts show that…

? ? ? ?That’s the reason why…

5. 使用過(guò)渡性詞句掩蓋猶豫

在需要停頓思考時(shí)可使用一些有連接作用的詞句,巧妙地掩飾自己的語(yǔ)塞。常用的表示停頓的過(guò)渡語(yǔ)有:

well, you know, you see, I have to say, as we can see, let me think, let me see, that’ s a good question, all right 等。

個(gè)人陳述樣題:

In this task, you are to describe the chart on China’s GDP statistics and talk about the improved living standards of the Chinese people. You will have 45 seconds to prepare and one minute to talk about it. Now here is the chart.

思路分析:

這是一道圖表題,話(huà)題是關(guān)于“GDP 的增長(zhǎng)與生活水平的提高”,首先要仔細(xì)觀(guān)察圖表,比較圖表中的數(shù)據(jù),然后對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行討論。根據(jù)話(huà)題可列出以下提綱:

? ? ? ?GDP:2000→2015,數(shù)量增長(zhǎng)約10 倍

? ? ? ?結(jié)果:經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展→生活改善

? ? ? ?e.g. 蓋高樓、建地鐵、豐富的食物、更多高速公路和小汽車(chē)

詞句拓展:增加與減少

There was a small / slight increase in…

There was a gradual / steady rise in…

There was a rapid / sharp / dramatic decrease in…

The… has increased by XX times compared with that of 1980.

The… has been multiplied XX times as against 2005.

The… was reduced by XX times.

參考答案:

From the chart we can see that China’s GDP increased steeply from about 1,000 billion U.S. dollars in the year 2000 to the impressive amount of over 11,000 billion U.S. dollars in the year 2015. It was a dramatic increase of about 10 times, and this represents the fastest economic growth among the world’s largest countries. Thanks to this rapid economic development people’s living standards have improved a great deal. For example, in many cities, tall buildings have been erected and subways have been constructed. In the market, there is plenty of food, including meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, and so on. Clearly, people have benefited from this rapid economic development.

技巧提示:

1) 考生在表達(dá)1,121.35、11,064.66等數(shù)字時(shí)可能會(huì)反應(yīng)較慢,從而降低口語(yǔ)的流暢度。不妨將其簡(jiǎn)化成about 1,000和over 11,000這樣的形式,可減輕大腦的負(fù)擔(dān)。

2) 考生用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)年份(如2000、2015)時(shí),也往往需要思考,容易造成停頓。不妨在年份前添加the year,以便取得緩沖時(shí)間。但在筆試中,應(yīng)刪除這種可有可無(wú)的單詞,以求簡(jiǎn)潔。

3) 表達(dá)數(shù)字關(guān)系時(shí),如果來(lái)不及計(jì)算,可以對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行模糊化處理。比如,這道題中的“約10倍”可說(shuō)成dozens of times。
