The examination content includes writing, listening comprehension, reading comprehension and translation. It takes the form of written examination, and there is no condition to realize oral examination at present. Except writing is a subjective question, other questions are objective multiple-choice questions and standardized answers. To take the CET-4 and CET-6 oral test, you must achieve a predetermined score in the written English test to qualify. This is the premise of CET-4 and CET-6 ability level standards. The written test scores of CET-4 and CET-6 have passed, indicating that your English level has reached a certain level, which needs further verification through oral test. This CET-4 and CET-6 oral English test examines students' oral English level. If you don't pay attention to training your oral English at ordinary times and don't have fluent oral English, it will be difficult to pass the oral exam. Oral examination is more practical than written examination, and fluent oral English has great advantages in employment.
Like CET-4 and CET-6, CET-4 and CET-6 have four grades. The ability grade standards of CET-4 and CET-6 are divided into four grades: A, B, C and D respectively. A-level, able to communicate fluently in English on the topics that appear on the spot, with no difficulty and high comfort; On this basis, Grade B can also communicate normally, but the fluency is a little poor. C-level means only simple and straightforward oral communication, with very low limitations. May also be able to show life scenes; D level means that you can't pass without oral communication skills.
2. How to arrange the CET-4 and CET-6 oral English test?
The oral test of CET-4 and CET-6 is conducted in the morning and afternoon, usually once every half hour, with a break of 15 minutes. The examination level and time arrangement of each test center shall be subject to the actual arrangement of each test center. The specific examination room and examination time shall be subject to the admission ticket.
The CET-SET exam lasts for one day, divided into two periods in the morning and afternoon, usually once every half hour, and the rest time is 15 minutes.
AM: 8:30-9:00，9: 15-9:45， 10:00- 10:30， 10:45- 1 1:65448。 If there is an extra period, it will be:12:15-12: 45.

The oral part of CET-6 examines students' ability to express and communicate orally in English on familiar topics. Familiar with the dialogue skills of familiar topics; Ability to express personal views, feelings and opinions; The ability to state facts, reasons and describe events. The examination is computerized. Candidates interact with simulated examiners, candidates and candidates on the computer. It requires clear language expression structure, clear views, correct pronunciation, intonation and grammar. Can use oral expression and communication strategies well.
3. Ways to break through CET-4 and CET-6 oral test questions
First, know yourself and know yourself.
First of all, we should make clear the purpose of the oral test and the structure of the test paper, so as to know fairly well. CET-4 and CET-6 mainly examine college students' oral English communication ability. CET-4 and CET-6 candidates refer to college students who have obtained CET-4 and CET-6 certificates and achieved a certain score. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, candidates who score 550 in CET-4 written test and 520 in CET-6 can sign up for the oral test. The CET-4 and CET-6 oral exams are held twice a year in May and 1 1 respectively. The examination place is in the test center where the candidates register, and the specific examination room is randomly determined after the candidates register.
The CET-SET exam is given face to face, and each exam consists of 2 examiners and 3 (or 4) candidates.
The CET-SET exam is divided into three parts:
The first part is a dialogue between candidates and examiners authorized by CET in the form of questions and answers. The time is about 5 minutes. Including candidates' self-introduction, answering questions, etc.
The second part includes 1.5 minutes of candidates' individual speech and 4.5 minutes of group discussion. Time * * * is about 10 minute.
In the third part, the examiner asks questions again to further determine the candidate's oral communication ability, and the examiner asks further questions. The time is about 5 minutes.
Second, full practice, have answers.
Speaking test focuses on "speaking", so the practice before the test mainly depends on speaking more and communicating more. You can practice in the following ways:
1. Find a partner. Find a classmate who also wants to take the exam or is keen on oral English. It would be better if she were a roommate. The two of them spend all their time practicing oral English together.
2. English corner. English corner is an ideal place to practice oral English, where we can not only practice oral English, but also exchange English learning experience, broaden our horizons and improve our interest in English learning.
Third, the preparation before the exam can not be ignored.
1. Prepare for the topic before the exam, including understanding some common hot topics, accumulating some topic vocabulary, and preparing dozens of common sentence patterns that can be applied.
2. Prepare a self-introduction. Self-introduction should be as vivid and vivid as possible, giving the examiner a bright feeling. Don't introduce yourself too complicated and lengthy, and don't make short words complicated and unnatural in order to use some sentences that may add luster. Introduce yourself realistically, don't lie, and don't deliberately shape yourself into an excellent college student. Just tell the truth and show your most natural self.
Fourth, improvise and smile in the examination room.
1. Warm up before the exam and get to know your partner. Before the exam, the examiner will randomly group all the candidates, usually in groups of three, and give the candidates some time to communicate first. It's called warming up. Don't underestimate this warm-up, everyone should take the time to communicate, because everyone's spoken English has its own characteristics, and few candidates have perfect pronunciation. Therefore, you should be familiar with your partner's pronunciation characteristics as much as possible, basically understand their personality, and have a good idea of their possible reactions to the questions, so that you can have a good cooperation in the formal examination.
2. concentrate. During the whole examination, you should keep a high degree of concentration, listen carefully to each partner's speech, be prepared, and avoid being suddenly called in front of you and being at a loss. Then look firm, true and natural, and don't wander around; Don't be too humorous, so as not to appear artificial, unnatural or even funny.
Take your time. In the process of your exam presentation, the examiner may interrupt you and ask you questions at any time. Don't be nervous at this time, listen to the teacher's questions clearly and answer them calmly. In fact, for CET-4 and CET-6, the examiner will not deliberately make things difficult for students.
4. Matters needing attention in practicing CET-4 and CET-6 oral English
(1) Don't be shy, but dare to speak. Many people are shy when they speak English, especially when they speak English with their classmates, for fear that they will be laughed at if they don't speak well.
(2) Don't be afraid to make mistakes. When speaking English, many students often organize a sentence in their minds before opening their mouths, paying special attention to ensuring the correctness of grammar, which obviously slows down the communication speed and thus affects the communication effect. In fact, we should naturally attach importance to grammar, but in the early stage of oral practice, we should first emphasize fluency. Moreover, spoken English is used for communication. As long as you can express your meaning clearly, let others know your meaning and achieve the purpose of communication, why stick to one or two grammatical irregularities? Nowadays, many spoken expressions in Britain and America do not conform to the rules of grammar if they want to study grammar carefully. Moreover, people from English-speaking countries say that their grammar is not 100% correct. So always remember that oral English is for communication, which is also the original intention of oral English test. Of course, low-level grammatical mistakes should not appear, such as "she" and "he" being confused, and the subject-predicate singular and plural forms being inconsistent. If there is such a basic error, the score will definitely be greatly reduced.
(3) Don't be afraid not to say or not to say. If you communicate in English in your daily life, you may feel that you didn't know a word clearly in Chinese before, and you didn't even know how to say a few words in English. There are also some words in our common articles, which are no problem to refer to in Chinese, but I don't know how to call them in English.
It doesn't matter if you can't find a study partner or there are few opportunities to participate in the English corner. There are many ways to teach yourself spoken English, such as speaking English to yourself, describing what you see and dictating what you are doing. What I want to emphasize here is that we must "say" it, not meditate in our hearts. "Speaking" and "meditating" are two different levels. Many people think well in their hearts, but they make mistakes as soon as they open their mouths.
Read the Chinese part first, and then translate it directly into English sentence by sentence. After a short period of time, read the corresponding English part of the book and compare it with our interpretation, so that we can immediately find the mistakes and shortcomings of interpretation and make progress in improvement. You can start with simple reading and practice a lot. At first, you may read slowly and spend more time, but gradually, you will feel that your reaction speed and oral fluency are getting higher and higher.
5. How to improve the oral test level of CET-4 and CET-6?
First, imitation is always the first step.
The same is true of practicing spoken English. But at this time, imitation is not as aimless and unconscious as when I was a child, so we purposefully divide it into three steps:
1. Imitate the pronunciation of words
When imitating words, we should be strict with ourselves and must reach the correct level. We should fully mobilize all the pronunciation organs, even if the pronunciation is slightly exaggerated. The pronunciation of every word is full, just like speaking Chinese.
Imitate the pronunciation of phrases
In the stage of imitating phrases, besides keeping the pronunciation of each word correct, we should pay more attention to fluency and proficiency. The goal at this time is to practice pronunciation skills such as linking, losing explosion, incomplete explosion and assimilation between words.
3. Imitate the pronunciation of sentences and paragraphs
It is even more demanding to imitate sentences and even paragraphs. At this time, besides fluency, it is more important to pay attention to the correct pronunciation and intonation. You can deliberately learn from others how to read a sentence euphemistically.
Second, strengthen pronunciation and intonation training.
Correct pronunciation and intonation can enhance appeal and promote communication with others. Pay attention to the following points when training pronunciation and intonation:
1. Pay attention to the differences between English and Chinese pronunciation, so as to correct English pronunciation;
2. Pay attention to mouth training when correcting pronunciation and strictly abide by various pronunciation rules;
3. Listen to the audio book, understand its pronunciation and intonation, and imitate it after reading it.
Third, consolidate the results with retelling.
Retelling is by no means equal to reciting. Retelling is a process of re-creation on the basis of learned knowledge. After reading a book, listening to a story and watching a movie, we can all repeat it. Retelling practice oral English has three advantages:
1. Enhance memory. Retelling is to reorganize what you have learned, which can deepen your memory.
2. Be creative. Retelling is not rote learning, but adding your own understanding and re-describing it in your own language.
3. Can be done alone. Retelling doesn't seem like a conversation that requires a partner. Retelling alone is a good way to improve oral English.
