剑桥MSE考试培训中心:「KET口语」宝典终极加强版
一、高分须知
1.KET考试分KET标准版和KET School校园版。难度差不多,一般小学生考KET School校园版,本文总结的是两个版本。
2.新版口语考试题型整理分为10个常考话题,较之前难度提高,更灵活,要求词汇量多,某些话题为雅思话题。
3.重点考察考生观点和态度。
4.提前熟悉常考话题有助于拿高分。(只要记熟整理的常考话题,绝对拿高分)
5.平时练习时可根据常考话题进行自问自答或和家人朋友一起练习。
6.考试技巧,熟记口语提问句型,要听清对方问题。 找不到答案的时候要用些常用语拖延时间,如Let me think, let me see. Oh, well…听不清或不理解请求重复时说I’m sorry. Could you say that again? 听不清或不理解请求重复时说I’m sorry. Could you say that again?
7.注意礼仪,见面主动和考官打招呼,同时和考官或者搭档有眼神互动。离开时说Thank you, Bye bye。
8.注意与伙伴互动。如果伙伴口语差,可以适当用提醒的句子接话,What do you think...? Do you mean...? You may think....
9.考试过程中全程说英文。考试时别紧张,自信地回答每一个问题。
10.声音洪亮,用完整的句子回答问题。Tell me about...问题或是深度问题时尽量说2-3句话。
11.回答问题注意用正面的语言,注意逻辑不要抱怨和消极的语言。表达轻松自信自然流畅,不要像背诵,注意语音语调和肢体语言、面部表情。
二、真题解析
KET口语考试有两个考官一个负责问问题,一个负责记录。
考试分两个部分,每个部分都分2个阶段。
(一)第一部分为个人信息轮流问答,一般持续3-4分钟。
1.Phase 1(第一阶段)一般是打招呼、考官和考生要考试分数表(mark sheet)、分别问两个考生名字、住址、家乡等个人信息。
2.Phase 2(第二阶段),一般询问学校、学科、食物、家庭作业、服装、家庭、朋友、兴趣和爱好等日常生活信息。
(二)第二部分先是两位考生根据图片进行对话,然后,考官会根据图片和两位考生对话的内容提问,考生轮流回答,最后,考官还会问两个与话题相关的更深入的问题,可能是选择疑问句或特殊疑问句,考生轮流回答。一般是5-6分钟。
1.Phase 1
(第一阶段3-4分钟)两位考生根据考官给的一张图片互相问问题,图片上一般为5个小图片,考生需要了解图片内容,并根据图片造句(who+what+where+when)并问搭档问题,比如用“Do you like… ?”句型进行问答,回答时必须表明喜欢或是不喜欢并说明原因(最好3-4句话)。
What’s your name?-- My name is…
And your surname name? (family name)
-- My surname is ….How do you spell that?-- It's ...
Where do you come from/ Where are you from? -- I am a local and I have been living here since I was born.

然后考官会根据图片的内容,轮流问考生1-2个补充观点性问题,考生必须表达观点并解释原因。如Do you think playing football is fun / difficult / boring / interesting / easy / dangerous / ? 最后轮流问最喜欢哪个?为什么?
2.Phase 2(第二阶段大概说2分钟)考官根据讨论的主题,再轮流问两位考生深度问题,一般为两个选择疑问句或特殊疑问句,考生回答时必须表明观点并说明原因。
如:
(1)Do you prefer to spend your free time alone or with other people?
(2)Which is more fun, playing sports or watching sports?
(3)Do you prefer being by the sea or in the mountains?
(4)Is it better to do sports alone or with other people?
