1. Man-machine conversation skills in oral English test
1, adjust your mentality and don't panic on the spot. Listening is different from other types of questions. It is impossible to look back at the previous materials or stop to think freely when you encounter questions that you don't understand, like other test questions. The answering speed of the listening test is controlled by the proposer, and the recorded materials are fleeting, so there is no chance to "listen back" and no room for free thinking. Candidates' on-the-spot mentality has a great influence on listening performance. Therefore, candidates must cultivate a good attitude, be calm and calm, and have the courage to "reluctantly give up what one loves" when encountering places they don't understand, and continue to listen.
2. Be familiar with the test questions and choose quickly.
The important premise and guarantee of answering listening questions well is to read the questions before listening to the tape. Five minutes before you start listening, you should see clearly the requirements of big and small topics and the types and options of each topic, and never let go of any details. When browsing questions and options, try to predict the content of the article and the answers to the questions. Just verify your prediction when you listen to the recording. At the same time, because the options, phrases and sentences in the test questions are likely to reappear in the listening content, reading the test questions carefully can also improve the listening effect. After listening to every little question, you should choose the answer as soon as possible so that you can take the initiative. If you listen to every question first and then look at it, you may be led by the nose and tired of dealing with it. At the same time, remember not to listen to the recording of the next sentence while thinking about the content of the previous sentence or looking at the options of the previous sentence, which will lead to repeated mistakes and greatly affect the test mood. After answering the questions in the listening section, you have one minute to revise your answers.
3, reasonable distribution, don't rush to answer.
When listening, we should make full use of the pause time between two questions and read the questions quickly and effectively. In this way, when listening to the recording, we can narrow the scope of attention and focus on the key words related to the questions raised, reduce blindness and strengthen pertinence. If the question is about time, you can pay special attention to the time when listening to the recording, so as to make the right choice. Don't rush to answer the short passages and short topics in the oral part. After hearing the prompt of "start recording" and seeing the microphone icon and recording progress bar, start answering questions. If you answer first, it will affect your score. When answering oral questions, if a sentence is not well expressed, candidates can immediately revise and repeat it without affecting their scores; However, if there are too many changes in the process of answering questions, it will affect the fluency score of candidates.
4. Preventive measures
The requirements of English listening and speaking test for senior high school entrance examination are increasing year by year, and the scope of the test is gradually expanding. Therefore, how to strengthen the usual listening and speaking simulation training, improve listening and speaking ability and adapt to man-machine dialogue has become the focus of teachers and students. As long as you are familiar with the requirements, pay attention to the cultivation of listening and speaking ability and strengthen simulation training, you will be able to adapt to the oral English man-machine dialogue exam as soon as possible.
2. Ways to improve oral English
1. Self-dialogue method
It may not be easy for many people to communicate with others in English, especially when their English is not good enough.
Self-dialogue is to find a place where no one is there. Suppose a scene, where one person plays two roles and uses what we usually learn. To make a sound, the louder the better, and at the same time exercise our courage to speak.
2. Dialogue with others
Although the self-dialogue method is helpful to improve oral English, it is only a self-dialogue with oneself at that time, which has high limitations. If you feel that the method of self-talk can't improve your oral English, you can find your good friend to practice with you, so that friends will not be so embarrassed to speak English. Talking with friends in English can not only improve their oral English, but also improve their courage and prepare for oral communication with others in the future.
3. Listen and read
As the name implies, it is reading while listening. When learning English, MP3, walkman and repeater are all good auxiliary tools. We can put them on our body, listen to them whenever we have time, then read them while listening, and then repeat them until we remember the pronunciation.
Step 4 talk and write
In the current teaching, English listening and writing are separated, which actually hinders the cultivation and improvement of our communicative competence. You can write and read one sentence in your study, which will not only deepen your memory, but also improve your oral English.
5. Film and Television Improvement Law
American TV plays are very popular now. Many college students like watching American dramas. While watching American TV series, we can also improve our spoken English. In fact, many American dramas are good tutorials, such as Friends, which is a very good teaching material for learning English. We can learn to speak from them while watching. This popular American drama has Chinese subtitles, which can deepen our understanding and memory.
6. Song memory method
There are many popular songs in English songs now, which are also songs we like to listen to. We can turn simple listening to songs into learning while listening. However, it should be noted that when using the song memorization method, we can't use fast songs as learning songs, so it is difficult for us to hear their pronunciation clearly, and choose slow songs as the most learning songs.
3. Key points of oral English learning
1, master phonetic symbols and vocabulary
For a zero-based oral English learner, it is very necessary to master the basic knowledge of English pronunciation and vocabulary from the beginning if you want to learn oral English easily in the future.
Why should we learn phonetic symbols well when we are beginners? Because in the later English learning, many words, sentences and so on need to be pronounced. If you don't know the phonetic symbols, even if you are given the phonetic symbols of a word, you can't read it, so your self-study English can only be used in paper tests, and oral English can't be realized.
Vocabulary is also very important when teaching yourself spoken English. Because in English learning, there are no sentences without vocabulary, let alone spoken English.
The size of vocabulary will become the key to oral English self-study. Not only do you need to master certain vocabulary from the beginning, but you also need to find a suitable memory method by memorizing English words, so that you can benefit a lot from the memory of English words later.
2. Have a purpose and plan
It is not difficult for people with zero foundation to learn English by themselves. As long as you have clear goals and plans, your English self-study process will be smoother.
The ultimate goal of self-taught oral English is to be proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing, that is, to use English skillfully. How can we change from a zero-based person to a proficient person? It's hard not to have clear plans and goals at this time. Only by making plans and having clear goals can you learn English in an orderly way.
4. Practice oral English skills.
For most oral English learners, we don't need to deliberately pursue British accent, as long as we can pronounce it clearly and fully. Every language has its own pronunciation system. It is of great benefit to learn the 48 international phonetic symbols of English well. You can try to spell words you don't know. But it should be noted that in oral English learning, don't memorize pronunciation rules by rote. Instead of spending time reciting pronunciation rules, it is better to spend time imitating a short speech by native speakers, which can be a speech, a film and television drama, or even a song. By repeatedly imitating vivid language fragments, your spoken English will improve rapidly inadvertently.
In the process of preparing for IELTS speaking, many students will recite IELTS reading articles to practice oral English. In fact, this is a typical edge wood to seek fish. During my college years, many students recited 300 beautiful articles every day, and as a result, their writing improved a lot, but their spoken English still didn't improve. This is because they didn't choose materials suitable for oral learning.
On the one hand, it is easier, on the other hand, it can be consolidated repeatedly in dialogue. For beginners of spoken English, I suggest watching cartoons imitating Disney again and again.
5. Pay attention to oral English learning
1, the key to oral learning is imitation.
Imitation is one of the main ways to learn English. The principles of imitation are: First, imitate loudly. This is very important. Imitation should be generous, clear, orderly and lip-shaped. Find some standard American pronunciation tapes to follow.
Imitate slowly at first, let the sound be in place, and then speed up after the sound is accurate. It was not until this sentence could be relaxed at a normal speed that he said it and blurted it out.
2. Choose the right teaching materials.
According to your own level, you can choose the second or third volume of the new concept, or borrow a set of short stories with books and tapes from the library.
Note: there must be a book, the story should not be too long, and the number of new words should be small. It doesn't matter if it is too simple. Reminders tend to use stories rather than dialogue or news listening materials.
3. Follow-up training
Play the tape, read the book, understand the meaning of each word and understand the whole story. Then, put a sentence, pause, learn to read a sentence, then put down a sentence, pause, learn another sentence, and continue.
