商務英語口語考試得分要點及技巧
發布者：網上發布
口語考試不是百分制的，而是分成五項給分，Pronunciation, Grammar and Vocabulary, Discourse Management, Communication Skills, Global Achievement. 每項按5分為滿分計，其中前四項*由坐在旁邊的考官給出，最后一項*由主考官給出。
其中的Discourse Management 一項，是我們考生同學的薄弱環節，按照中文的表述慣，我們很少使用連詞類來表示上下句或句群之間的關系，但是英文在長篇表述的時候很在意連接詞的應用，用連接詞來表示承上啟下，比如在第二部分的mini-presentation 中，很多同學開頭的陳述就不清楚，沒有清晰的思路，建議考生可以按照以下幾種句式開頭：
When doing ...., it is undoubtedly important that..... I have several reasons, first.....
When doing..... different people have different choices. Some people will say.... but
What I think is important is......
When doing..... the first thing that crosses my mind is ......
In order to .....some issues have to be considered, for example, ......
然后，要用清晰的first, second, in addition等表示順序的詞來請聽者注意。
在中間理由的陳述中，也要使用因果、轉折、遞進等連詞，來表述句子之間的邏輯關系，比如這樣一道考題：
What is important when .....
Planning health and safety training for employees?
Selecting training contents
Staff involvement
建議大家這樣說：
When planning health and safety training for employees, selecting training contents is absolutely essential. Because first, if we don't choose the contents that are compatible with the production requirements, the training will be worthless. Second, if the contents we choose can not match the needs of staff working, they will have no idea about safety at the site. Therefore, we should also contemplate staff involvement, since they are the persons who work at the site on a daily basis, they can ensure what kind of training they do need.
