语言表达的“实效性”
每个考官在悦耳的声音背后更想吸纳入耳的是有组织、有意义的词句。因而，对语言表达更进一步的要求也接踵而至，即说话的“实效性”，包括思维逻辑、语言组织和词句质量。下面笔者就以口语考试的具体题目来进行简要说明。
口语考试的第一题和第二题是独立口语任务，大家需要做的是就自己的经历或想法来回答问题。题目主要涉及日常生活和一些社会现象，准备时间15秒，答题时间45秒。这一类型的考试形式和面试比较相似。从时间上看， 15秒的准备时间形同虚设，因为这么短的时间根本无法让考生酝酿出好的答案来。要想在面试中表现得好，必须事先有所准备，同样道理，要想在这两个题目上获得高分，预先的素材准备也是必不可少的。正所谓：
有备无患，胸有成竹。信心百倍，微笑说话。
我们先来比较一下关于如下题目的两种回答：
What is your favorite place for reading?
Answer 1：
I think my favorite place for reading is the library. Firstly because in the library, many students are reading and you will read with them. Secondly because in the library, you can get many books easily, so you can get to the information quickly. Um...so I like to read in the library.
Answer 2：
Unlike many people, my favorite place for reading is the park. I just like the atmosphere. Reading is tiring, and when I feel tired, I can look up from my book and see people jogging on the paths and boating on the lake. Then I feel relaxed. Also, when your eyes feel tired, there are many green trees and grass to look at to give them a good rest. In the park, you can see many old people taking their beloved pet birds and dogs for a walk. This gives me inspiration. Indeed, I like to read in parks rather than in libraries or classrooms. |
