这部分是整个口语考试的“热身”环节，目的是让你放松下来，同时让考官初步了解你的语言能力，虽然问题简单，但却是你给考官留下第一印象的关键部分。

Part 1 核心信息

• 时长： 4-5 分钟
• 形式： 考官对你进行一对一的面试。
• 考官会围绕3-4个与你的生活、个人经历相关的话题展开提问，每个话题下会有4-5个问题。
• 常见话题：
  • Home/Hometown (家乡/家乡)
  • Work/Studies (工作/学习)
  • Hobbies/Leisure Time (爱好/休闲时间)
  • Food (食物)
  • Music (音乐)
  • Films/Movies (电影)
  • Weather (天气)
  • Travel (旅行)
  • Friends (朋友)
  • Animals/Pets (动物/宠物)

Part 1 考官评分标准

考官在 Part 1 中主要关注你以下四个方面的能力，这直接决定了你的 Fluency and Coherence (流利度与连贯性), Lexical Resource (词汇资源), Grammatical Range and Accuracy (语法广度与准确度), Pronunciation (发音) 四个单项分数。

1. 语言的自然度: 你听起来像一个真实的、正在交流的人，还是在背诵答案？避免使用过于复杂的、从网上或模板里背下来的句子。
2. 回答的广度与深度: 你只用一两句话回答，还是能自然地扩展成一个小段落？一个好的回答通常包含观点 + 解释 + 例子。
3. 词汇的丰富性与准确性: 你是否能用不同的词表达同一个意思？词汇使用是否恰当？
4. 语法与发音的准确性: 你的句子结构是否多样？发音是否清晰，能让考官轻松理解？

Part 1 高分策略

结构化回答 (The "1-2-3" Rule)

对于每一个问题,不要只回答 "Yes" 或 "No"，一个优秀的回答结构是：

1. 直接回答: 清晰地给出你的观点或信息。
2. 解释原因: 为什么你这么认为？解释你的直接回答。
3. 举例说明: 用一个具体的例子来支撑你的观点或解释，这能让你的回答更生动、更可信。

举个例子：

考官问题: Do you like to listen to music?

• 低分回答 (L1-L2):
  • "Yes, I do. I like pop music." (太短，没有扩展)
  • "Yes, I like music very much. It's good." (空泛，没有具体信息)
• 高分回答 (Band 6+):
  • (1) Direct Answer: "Absolutely, I'm a huge fan of music. I can't imagine a day without listening to some tunes."
  • (2) Explain Why: "I find it's a fantastic way to unwind after a long day at work, and it really helps me to de-stress."
  • (3) Give an Example: "For instance, I usually listen to classical music like Mozart when I'm trying to focus, or some upbeat K-pop when I'm doing housework to keep my energy up."

你看,这个回答不仅更长，而且展示了词汇、语法和逻辑组织能力。

展示词汇多样性

不要重复使用同一个词或短语,学会使用同义词或更地道的表达。

• 表示“喜欢”:
  • I'm a big fan of... / I'm really into...
  • I'm passionate about...
  • I'm quite fond of...
  • It really appeals to me.
• 表示“有趣”:
  • It's fascinating.
  • It's captivating.
  • It's engaging.
  • I find it really intriguing.

使用多样化的句式

不要总是用 "I think..." 或 "I like..." 开头，尝试使用不同的句型结构。

• 使用分词短语开头:

  "Living in a big city like Shanghai, I've developed a taste for diverse cuisines."

• 使用从句:

  "I enjoy hiking, which is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air."

• 使用被动语态 (当主语不重要时):

  "I was born and raised in a small town, but I was always drawn to the excitement of the city."

展现自然的流利度

• 使用填充词: 适当地使用一些填充词可以让你的回答听起来更自然，给你思考的时间，但不要滥用。

  Well, you know, / Let me see... / I suppose... / I guess... / That's an interesting question...

• 自然地自我纠正: 如果说错了，可以自然地纠正，这反而显得真实。

  "I usually go to the cinema... well, actually, I haven't been to the cinema for a while. I mostly stream movies at home now."

• 与考官进行眼神交流和互动: 点头、微笑，用 "Yeah," "Right," "Exactly" 等词语表示你在认真倾听并参与对话。

Part 1 常见话题及高分范例

下面我们以几个高频话题为例,看看如何运用上述策略。

Topic 1: Hometown

• Q: Where is your hometown?
  • L1-L2: "My hometown is Beijing."
  • B6+: "I'm from Beijing, which is the capital of China. It's a massive, bustling city with a rich history that dates back thousands of years."
• Q: Do you like your hometown?
  • L1-L2: "Yes, I like it."
  • B6+: "Yes, I do, but it's a bit of a love-hate relationship. On one hand, I love the convenience and the endless opportunities it offers. On the other hand, it can be incredibly crowded and the air quality isn't always the best."
• Q: Is it a good place for young people to live?
  • L1-L2: "Yes, it is. There are many jobs."
  • B6+: "Absolutely. I think it's an excellent place for young people because it's a major economic hub with a huge job market, especially in tech and finance. Plus, the cultural scene is vibrant, with countless museums, galleries, and live music venues to explore."

Topic 2: Hobbies

• Q: What do you usually do in your spare time?
  • L1-L2: "I watch movies and listen to music."
  • B6+: "In my spare time, I'm pretty active. I'm really into photography, especially landscape photography. It gets me outdoors and allows me to appreciate the beauty of nature in a different way. I also enjoy cooking, which I find both creative and relaxing."
• Q: Did you have more free time when you were younger?
  • L1-L2: "Yes, I had more free time."
  • B6+: "Definitely. When I was a kid, I had all the time in the world to just play and explore without any real responsibilities. Now that I'm working and studying, my free time is much more limited and precious, so I have to be more intentional about how I spend it."

最后的叮嘱

1. Be Yourself: 做真实的自己，展现你的个性和热情，考官想了解的是你，而不是一个完美的机器人。
2. Don't Memorize Answers: 背诵答案是最危险的行为，一旦被考官发现，你的分数会大打折扣，可以准备一些思路和关键词，但一定要用自己的话自然地表达出来。
3. Practice, Practice, Practice: 找一个朋友或对着镜子练习，录下自己的声音回听，检查流利度、语法和发音。
4. Relax: Part 1 只是热身，把它看作是一次和外国朋友的友好聊天，而不是一场考试，深呼吸，保持微笑，自信地表达。

祝你考试顺利！
