無論你是要參加外企面試還是2015年考研英語復(fù)試，你都必不可少的要練好口語，可是面試迫在眉睫，如何更有成效的提高面試口語技能呢?想要在口語面試中迅速脫穎而出，你需要一些小技巧。

　　Tips from Candidate No.1 (Predicting Questions預(yù)測(cè)面試問題)

　　You can start by collecting all of the material that is likely to be covered during your exam period. Read over the information to recognize any possible themes or patterns. If you are working with a textbook, you can use titles and subtitles to find probable themes. Now try to predict possible essay-type questions from the themes. What would you ask if you were the teacher?

　　開始收集所有英語復(fù)試中考官可能會(huì)問的話題。仔細(xì)閱讀這些信息來辨別可能會(huì)在復(fù)試中出現(xiàn)的主題或形式。如果你手上有相關(guān)教科書可以研習(xí)，你可以多多關(guān)注主題名或副標(biāo)題，以便預(yù)測(cè)可能性極大的主題?，F(xiàn)在，開始預(yù)測(cè)，如果你是考官老師，你會(huì)選擇什么樣的論文型問題作為面試問題呢?

　　Tips from Candidate No.2

　　If possible, go back over old tests and re-word the questions you've answered before. This is how many teachers come up with questions for a comprehensive exam.

　　如果可能的話，重溫一下往年的考查題目并重新命題你之前解答過的問題。這是很多老師在綜合考試出題時(shí)的策略。

　　小編提示：像老師一樣思考如何測(cè)試考生，你才可以真正做到知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)百勝。

　　Tips from Candidate No.3

　　Write down each possible question on an index card. Use these like you would flash cards, and practice answering questions out loud, in front of a mirror.

　　將所有可能出現(xiàn)的問題寫在索引卡上，將這些卡片玩起來，就像你玩抽卡片游戲一樣，對(duì)著鏡子大聲地讀出你抽到問題的答案。

　　Why Use a Mirror?

　　為什么要用鏡子?

　　There are a few good reasons you should use a mirror to practice. First, the mirror will show you any nervous habits you might display as you're speaking. Secondly, the mirror reflection (as strange as it seems) will make you feel as if somebody is actually watching you as you speak.

　　用鏡子練習(xí)有很多原因。首先，鏡子會(huì)告訴你當(dāng)你講話時(shí)會(huì)有哪些因緊張而犯的不自覺的習(xí)慣。第二，鏡子反射鏡像會(huì)讓你覺得當(dāng)你講話時(shí)好像有人在注視著你。

　　Tips from Candidate No.4

　　The first time you practice in front of the mirror, you should play the role of the tester. Observe yourself as he or she would. Watch for visual clues: do you smile with confidence, or do you twitch nervously? Signs of nervousness are important, because your nerves can make you forget important details when you're actually there.

　　首次練習(xí)時(shí)，你應(yīng)該來扮演考官。像考官一樣觀察鏡中的自己。從自己的形象中發(fā)現(xiàn)一些線索：你是否能自信的微笑，是否會(huì)緊張發(fā)抖?緊張的跡象是很糟糕的，因?yàn)閷?shí)際面試時(shí)，你一緊張就有可能會(huì)忘記一些重要的細(xì)節(jié)。

　　It's important to switch your point of view in front of the mirror, and pretend that the reflection is somebody else. Don't really pay attention to the person in the mirror. Instead, try to "psych yourself" into thinking that this reflection is really a teacher or tester. This technique just gives you a little practice with speaking to an audience.

　　在鏡子面前轉(zhuǎn)換話題是很重要的，你要假裝鏡子中是其它人。不要太把鏡子里的人當(dāng)回事兒。相反地方法，假裝鏡子前的人就是老師或考官，讓自己認(rèn)真對(duì)待。這種方法可以幫助你練習(xí)在人前說話。

　　Tips from Candidate No.5 (Using Flash Cards巧用抽認(rèn)卡)

　　Make a list of vocabulary terms and create a flash card for each one. Test yourself with the flash cards until you know everyone.

　　制作一系列單詞卡片。抽查卡片直到你認(rèn)識(shí)卡片上的全部單詞為止。

　　Then, select three flash cards at random. Pretend to be the tester, and ask a question that connects the three terms together. This method helps you make connections between all the concepts that have been covered on your topic.

　　然后，隨機(jī)抽出三張卡片。假裝自己是考官，問一個(gè)會(huì)涉及到卡片上的三個(gè)詞的問題。這種方法會(huì)幫助你將所有主題的內(nèi)容聯(lián)系到一起。

　　If you are a visual learner, you may want to draw images to enhance your memory.

　　如果你是視覺學(xué)習(xí)者，你也可以試著畫圖來幫助記憶。

　　Tips from Candidate No.6(Prepare the Night Before考前一晚提前準(zhǔn)備)

　　When you feel good about your appearance, you feel more confident and self-assured. It's a good idea to find the best outfit for the day, whether that means wearing the most businesslike outfit you own or the most comfortable outfit you own. Make sure you dress in a way that is appropriate for your situation.

　　當(dāng)你對(duì)自己的外在感覺良好時(shí)，你會(huì)感到更自信。選擇一件完美的面試服裝，無論是最有商務(wù)范兒的服裝還是你穿起來最舒適的服裝，都是不錯(cuò)的選擇。確保你的服裝得體，符合場(chǎng)景。

　　Don't drink caffeine if it tends to keep you awake. You'll need plenty of sleep. Pack any papers or visual aids you might need for the test. Practice your answers in front of a mirror again.

　　如果咖啡會(huì)讓你精神振奮，記住不要喝咖啡。你需要充足的睡眠。準(zhǔn)備好考試當(dāng)天你所需要紙張或視覺輔助工具。在鏡子前再練習(xí)一次你準(zhǔn)備好的答案。

　　Tips from Candidate No. 7

　　Eat something for breakfast, even if you don't feel hungry. Smile. Give yourself a moment to think before your answer. Recognize when you've said enough. It's important to know when to stop. Back up a yes or no answer with evidence or reasoning. If you don't know an answer right away, feel free to take time to think. If you are able to use a blank sheet of paper and a pen/pencil, use the paper to draw the images you created for memory boosters.

　　即使不餓也要記得吃早飯。微笑?；卮饐栴}之前先給自己點(diǎn)時(shí)間好好想想。如果說的夠多了要及時(shí)止住。何時(shí)收尾是件重要的事。準(zhǔn)備好一個(gè)有理有據(jù)的Yes or No的問題答案。如果你不能馬上答出問題，放松心情，給自己時(shí)間想一下。如果允許你用白紙和筆來做輔助，盡管在紙上畫些幫助提振記憶的圖。
