大学英语教学部马丹

2020年6月四级因突如其来的新冠疫情延后至9月，2020年下半年大学英语四级会迎来9.19和12.12两场考试。准备了那么久，小伙伴们是否也是摩拳擦掌，想要牛刀小试呢？备考在即，快来看看一下四级口语考试应对技巧吧，你pick哪款呢？

一、四级口试考试形式

四级口语考试(CET-SET4)采用机考形式，考试方式为人机对话。考生通过计算机考试系统完成与考官及考生间的互动，每场考试由 2 名主考和 3 (或 4 )名考生组成。

二：四级口语短文朗读高分技巧

1.浏览文字，划分结构

在45秒的准备时间里，快速浏览文字，按意群划分结构。然后默读，并把句子尤其是长难句按主干句+拓展句的结构划分好。以四级样题中的一个长句为例：

Many people would list San Francisco / as one of the most delightful cities in the world. / Sitting on the Pacific coast, / it gives you a feeling of the sea. / The sea breezes wake you up / and make you eat well and sleep well. / The city was planned with straight roads, / and these roads cross each other at right angles, / making squares as they do in many American cities. / Very often / you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, / looking down one of these straight roads / as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. / A good way to travel these roads / is by cable car. / These are buses that run on rails in the ground / up and down the steep hills.

2.注意重读，抑扬顿挫

英语篇章中的句子要读出抑扬顿挫的感觉，必须要加强句子重读，而句子重读体现在单词的重读之上，如动词、名词、形容词、副词、数词等大词需要重读，读出气势之美，韵律之音。而虚词，如助词、介词等小词需略读，形成高低错层的音律之美。

3.拼读生词，自然流利

遇到生词不要惊慌，想办法按音节拼读出来，保持流利度，适当体会单词的重读音节，勇敢拼读出来，这样总比磕巴或跳过不读的效果好很多。

4.纠正发音，自信应对

如果在朗读过程中发现单词读错，这很正常。平时，要多做纠音练习，多针对易错音、连读和失去爆破现象。加强语音练习，把漏洞补在平时，而不要临时抱佛脚。针对中国考生最常读错的发音，好好练习，并体会其区别，如：/i:/和 /I/， /e/ 和/æ/，/f/ 和/v/， /s/和 /z/， /θ/ 和/δ/， /∫/和/t∫/ ， /з/和/dз/， /tr/ 和/dr/，/ts/和 /dz/ 等。

三：四级口语考试三大技巧

1.仔细听题，快速反应

不少考生备考口语考试时，忽略了加强听力练习，这是口语考试大忌。如果听辨不出题目，那有如何高效自如对应产出呢？口语交流的前提是听懂问题，因听力不足而交流不畅，就很有可能无法做到快速反应。所以，在平时备考阶段，听说并用，双管齐下，听力问题可转化为口语问题，一起配套练习，既能磨耳朵，又能提练思维和口语表达。

2.段落逻辑，总分结构

口语表达不仅要注意句子的结构，也需要注重段落逻辑和层次结构，以四级口语考试为例，考生产出的绝不是单一的句子，而是结构清晰、逻辑分明的完整的段落和篇章。所以，考生在备考阶段，要不断建立段落结构的意识，把握好总分结构去陈述去表达。其二，由于受时间限制，考生在表达自己观点是往往很难恰当把握好时间，有时因时控性弱，考生往往还没表达完观点就被打断，正因为如此，考生在平时口语练习中，有意识采用总分结构，先提出观点再进行论述或解释来拓展支撑信息，这样，既能保证段落层次和结构完整性，又能呈现一个段落逻辑清晰的总分结构。如下以个人陈述（看图陈述）为例：

This is a thought-provoking picture.

In the picture, there is a large old tree. The tree has a sign on it, which reads, “No climbing.” However, to our disappointment, one of the visitors has already carved some Chinese characters on it. Moreover, a man, with his right foot stepping on the tree, is taking a photo of an arrogant lady. She is also leaning herself heavily on the tree. Not far from them, a parent is taking a photo of his child. The child is grabbing a branch of the tree and hanging himself in the air.

These are uncivilized behaviors. I hope the authority should enact some regulations to punish these behaviors. We should all be responsible for our environment.

3.同义转述，错而不乱

很多考生在考口语时语法意识太强，担心自己的表达会有语法错误，结果在答题过程中出现大量停顿和纠错现象，使得口语表达的流利度大打折扣。第二，在口语表达过程中也出现忘词现象，导致考生卡顿严重。其实，考生不必为答题中出现的语法错误和忘记单词而过度担心。英语口语表达中常用paraphrasing的方法来弥补一些口语表达错误，也能改善考生因忘词而产生卡顿现象，比如：

1）语法错误可以这样同义转化：

People used to listen to CDs, DVDs or cassettes, however, they prefer to online music provided by some music apps in mobile phones. Well, I honestly mean people in the past enjoyed listening to some music from CD players or cassette players.

2）忘记单词可以这样同义转化：

There are many ways to bring about air pollution, car em....... , you know, what I mean is that, a kind of waste gas from the automobiles, sending out a lot of CO2 around us.

以上是一些实用且好操作的口语提分锦囊以及考试技巧，大家不妨考前做好完善准备，根据四级口语题型多看多听多练，pick一款合适你的方法吧！（大英部王瑞英）
