大学英语六级口语考试应试指导:自我介绍
Part 1
l Self-introduction (20s)
六级口语考试的考查难度和深度是逐级提高、层层深入的。也就是说……这个环节没啥好说的,依次进行个人介绍,让两个搭档彼此间有个大概的了解。建议直接准备一段大概40词的自我介绍在考前背熟就行。下面是我自己准备的自我介绍和一些我从网上找来的例句。
Well, good morning, my name is Xu Jiang. It is really a great honor to have this chance to introduce myself. I am twenty-two years old, born in Jiang Su province, and I am currently a junior student at Jiangsu Normal University. I major in computer science and technology. Thank you.

l Q&A (30s)
在这个环节考生刚刚做过自我介绍,并没有看到Part2里才会出现的话题卡片,不过通过这个提问也能大概推断出今天聊的话题的方向了。这个提问是同时进行的,也不会太难,一般是非学术类问题,相对轻松,偏向日常,算是一个引子,应答时注重句(tao)式(lu)。
官方样卷的核心话题是Food Safety(食品安全),在这个环节一共给出了五个参考问题,考生和自己的搭档在考试时会随机被问到同一个其中的问题:
1. Where do you usually have your meals? How do you like the food there?
2. Which dishes do you prefer, meat or vegetables? Why?
3. Do you find the food in your canteen expensive? Why do you say so?
4. What snacks and drinks do you usually have? Why?
5. Which do you prefer, Chinese dishes or Western dishes? Why?
每一个问题后面都会有一个追问,不难看出,这是开放式提问,考生的回答不要简单地只做“是”或“不是”或者寥寥几个单词的回应,应该做进一步的阐述。总的来说Part1的两个环节主要是考察考生口语的流利程度,所以考生应该以一种轻松的心态来应答,展现出自己口语流利、连贯的一面。
大体上,在回答时采用“主题句——展开——总结”的模式,但具体情况具体对待,不要过于教条,比如在回答“一般疑问句”(类似于样卷第3句)时最好在主题句前加上一个“反应”例如:“Absolutely not. Exactly. Definitely not. Sure. Yes, it is/ they are. No, not really. No, it isn’t/ they aren’t. Yes, I think so. No, I don’t think so.”来先表明自己的态度。在回答“选择疑问句”(类似于样卷第2、4、5句)时采用这样的回答模式“我选A及其原因——未选B及其原因——所以,我选A”。
例如,这是我给出的样卷第1句的回答:
Like most of the college students, I usually have my meals in the school canteen. To tell you the truth, I am actually not very like the dishes there most for two reasons. On one hand, the city where I am now studying in isn’t my hometown, and the local people like spicy food while I have a light taste. On the other hand, I was used to eating home-cooked food. So, it’s hard for me to adapt to the school canteen.
先直截了当地作出回答,毕竟口语和书面写作并不太一样,回答的同时可以加上一些口语中经常出现的句子用以连接或过渡,使自己的表述显得更加自然、更贴近生活。然后围绕着主题展开,我说我不喜欢,就说明我的原因,配合说明原因的句型,最后做出总结。句型就像是盖房子时候的框架,其他的内容就像填充框架的砖头。搞清楚应答的模式和句子的结构以后,再回答类似的提问时,可以根据实际的需要选择合适的框架和内容自行组合,这样可以让考生在考场上能够高效地进行思考,做出更完美的回答。当然,这样的框架也有很多,相关话题的词汇也离不开自己的积累,考生可以根据自己的需要和喜好做自己的准备,这里再给出一些回答样式和方法以后就不做更多的赘述了。
