四六级口语考试前准备“活动”

马上也要考四六级口语了，是的，你不要忘记他的存在

关于口语怎么准备，请你过来瞧一瞧！

四六级口语考试前世今生

大学英语四、六级口语考试的英文名称是：CET Spoken English Test，用于测量我国大学生英语口头交际能力。

从1999年到2016年的四六级口语考试，是它的“前世”。从2016年8月，改革通知下发，四六级口语考试就此迎来了“今生”。

准入条件：

新口语完全放弃分数要求，只要报考笔试，就可报考相应口试。所以想刷口语分数的同学，必须要先报笔试。

四六级口语考试形式

新口语全面采用机考。四六级各有各的的流程（下文将详解）。

成绩呈现：

过去的口笔试成绩是分开出单。现在成了二合一。口语考试成绩一栏，不考就是空着。

所以如果其他同学都去考，只有你的成绩单是空的，那我还是建议你也去考一次，不要动不动就弃考！

四六级口语考试流程

四级：

这里要特别指出两点：

1. 自我介绍：

考生开始正式答题前，根据考官指令，先作一个简短的自我介绍（此部分不计入总分），以进入良好的应考状态。每位考生20秒（两位考生依次进行），考试时间约1分钟。接着考生进入正式考试，在自我介绍之后机器也完成了随机分组。

2. 短文朗读是机器进行智能评分。

六级

这里要特别指出三点：

1. 六级的自我介绍是要计入总分的；

2. 陈述部分结束后过渡到讨论，中间没有准备时间，考官提问完就需要作答；

3. 最后的问答是考官基于讨论部分的话题进行深入的追问。

(屏幕显示以下文字)

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.
