2009年3月的公共英语考试顺利的结束了, 作为新世界进修中心考点的主考官, 真实的感受到了考生的喜和悲.
这里针对考试反映的问题和考试感受和各位考生交流一下:
首先: 时间观念问题
大多数考生都会很有时间观念, 8:30分入场,在这之前就早早等在考场外. 可是总有个别考生会在9:00以后匆忙赶到. 可是按照规定是不可以入场了. 真是可惜.
其次: 证件问题
虽然准考证上都会明确写明: 身份证和准考证两证必须齐全, 可是还是有考生忘记带。影响了考试更是得不偿失。
再次: 试题分析
有很多题目在新世界的课堂上,已经多次练习到了相关题目, 特别是此次的作文,更是在考前模拟考的讲座中被押中。恭喜各位参加模拟考得学生,可以有备尔考。
这里转载我们新世界考官的专业分析, 希望能够帮助到各位考生:
新世界pets考官刘红梅讲评2009年3月PETS考试
3月14日,久违的阳光出现了,全国英语等级考试在这样明媚的春日里进行,也应该让各位考生怀有一颗好心情吧。
新世界的各位考生,你参加了2月28日的考前讲座吗?
在那天的讲座里,我在模拟试卷中的作文部分,重点推出了一篇-----注重风景区环境卫生的题目。
而此次的pets-3大作文,正是这个主题。相信你们和我一样吧,在打开试卷的那一刹那,长长地舒了口气。
这次的pets-3考试,应该说难度适中。完形和阅读的生词量不大,篇幅不长。在我监考的考场里,大多数考生
在此花费的时间不是很长。
不过,值得注意的是,有些考生来的很晚,匆匆落座,就开始听力题目了,情况不是很理想。所以,我建议考生在
遇到考试这种情况的时候,尽量早出门,并且听些录音,可以调节自己的状态。
另外,有的考生在前面的题目中用时过久,导致在10:45的时候,小作文还没有完成。那么,考试结果可想而知了。
在下午的口试部分里,dialogue涉及的是旅游的主题,多数考生可以进行有效的交流,但是,也有个别的考生
很紧张,接连说出中文----这样要被扣分的!
在presentation的环节里,由于其中一篇是:a young traveler walks hardly in the desert
可是由于图画的原因,许多考生没有听清楚考官的提示,错误地认为是在河流中,不知所云。
建议各位准备参加9月考试的考生,平日中多听,多练,这样才可以熟练准确地表达自我的想法。
以上是我3月14日监考的一些感受,希望对你们有所帮助。如果有机会来新世界学习的话,
Let's conmmunicate with each other !
新世界Pets考官李波谈2009年3月14日Pets3口试
09年的第一次Pets考试于2009年3月14日及15日在各大考点进行,我作为Pets考官在新世界进修中心考点进行了口试的监考工作,结果还是几家欢喜几家愁。在这里对于今年3月的口试,这里和各位考生分享一下本次考试的经验。
口试的题型共分3节:
第一节为基本信息的提问,如工作、学习、家庭、未来计划等。对于这一节大部分学生是有备而来,所以答得从容不迫,这一节的得分率通常是最高的。但在这里作为新世界的考官我还是想提醒一下大家,回答问题切勿着急,尽量避免简单的语法错误,如I very like my job. Because…, so…之类的禁忌。
第二节为两考生之间对于某一特定话题的讨论,谈自己的观点及看法。这一部分考察的方面比较多,评分标准中的交流、词汇、句子结构及词汇在这一节中都能得到充分的体现,而这一节往往又是考生最担心的一部分。一来是准备的时间较短,二来担心自己无法正确地表达自己的看法。作为新世界的Pets教师及考官,在培训的时候对于这一节我们的看法是:拿到图片后不要一头栽进图片中。其实在考生看图片的同时,考官对于图片的描述很重要,口试的提示及要求都在考官的描述中,这次3月的题目为:Image you will travel with your family next summer. The pictures show 4 places you might go. 1. beach 2. forest parks 3. mountains 4. European cities. Choose the place you might go and give your own reasons. 其实这个topic相对而言不是很难,词汇也不是很深,基本上所有考生都能听懂,但是在新世界考点进行口试的很多考生还是没有很好地发挥,我觉得问题还是忽略了考官的描述,如 you, with your family, next summer这些词都被忽视了。其实这是一个plan,但在很多考生说来就变成了对于过去某一次旅游经历的描述,全文用了过去时,这是一个大忌。所以,对于这一部分,我还是要重申:图片与考官的描述相结合,切勿把考官的描述当成“耳边风”。
第三节是给每一个考生一个不同的topic进行描述与论述。今年的题目为1. A young traveler can hardly walk in the desert. 2. A man drove to a parking lot and found it was full. 3. A man went to the park and found the ticket was too expensive for him. 第三个题目是对于出现三个考生时所用的。这一部分考察的主要是考生的词汇与句子组织能力。当然前提是要对图片充分理解。第二及第三幅图片相对而言好理解,图片的主题一目了然,但是第一幅图片的错误率很高,很多考生没有理解图片中的地点,有的考生即使理解了也没有能够正确表达,“desert沙漠”的发音是一个错误率很高的地方。其实在考官给你图片的同时,考官对于图片也会进行描述,还是同样的建议:请考生务必仔细听考官对于图片的描述。这一部分的另外一个问题是:该节的要求是:First describe it and then give your own opinion. 而新世界考点的一些学生却只顾描述图片,没有给出自己对于图片的看法及观点,这也是问题之一。
总而言之,Pets口试并不可怕,在新世界的课堂上,已经多次给学生训练过,只要考生做好充分的准备,在拿到考题时能够准确地听明白考官的图片描述及题目要求,从容地答题,我相信大家都能顺利通过。
另很高兴通知参加此次考试的各位考生:
新世界09年3月14日考题分析会将在2009年3月22日举行
