What is the correct attitude towards examiners in IELTS speaking test?
The correct attitude is that you and the examiner are equal as friends, don't feel inferior!

Also collected 20 common questions of novice roast duck, suitable for collection, but don't forget to like and pay attention!

First, what kind of attitude should be used to treat examiners?

This should be the problem of many Asian roast ducks, especially the China students who respect their teachers.

Many roast ducks subconsciously treat the examiner as a teacher, and even use "sir" or "Maddam" to show respect.

There is absolutely no need to do this. The correct way is to treat the examiner as a friend and communicate on an equal footing.

Second, how to greet the examiner when entering the door?

As soon as you enter the room, the examiner will greet you and check your identity.

This point should be emphasized, because you are going to start speaking, it is still very important to leave a good impression.

Examiners usually ask four questions. These four questions are simple. Just give a brief answer. Do not expand, do not expand, do not expand.

First, the examiner will meet you, introduce himself to you and ask the first question:

Good afternoon, my name is John. ? What's your full name/can you tell me your full name?

You must say hello, too, and then answer: good afternoon, John, my name is? Li Xiaolang.

Pay attention to two points:

1) Address the examiner: You can call the examiner by name or not, depending on you. But if you add the examiner's name, just call him "name", such as John here. Without any title, such as Mr. or even the teacher, just call him John, or stop calling him at all.

If the examiner adds his "second name" when introducing himself, for example, I am John Watson. Call John directly, not Mr. Watson. You and the examiner are friends.

2) Introduce yourself: When you answer, you'd better say "My name is Li Xiaolang" instead of "My name is Li Xiaolang". This problem is very small, but the front is a more advanced usage, and the details win. Make it clear when you say your full name. After all, many examiners don't understand Chinese.

Secondly, the examiner will ask you, what should I call you? What can I call you?

You can choose a word in your name, here: Lang. I can also give you an English name, which must be simple, common, easy to remember and easy to read (you can tell an article with an English name). Don't take a name that you have difficulty pronouncing, and directly hit the muzzle. Try to choose some simple and common names, such as girls: Emma, Lily, Sophia, Ella, Milla, etc. Boys: Jacob, Michael, David, Luke, Jack, etc.

After the name is decided, you can answer like this: Please call me Lang. You can call me Lang. ? Just call me Lang. ? You can call my English name Luck. ? Just give a simple answer. Don't explain how you got your name.

After that, the examiner will ask where are you from?

You can say that I am from Guilin. I come from Beijing. ? Or more specifically: I come from Xi 'an, northwest of China. The clause is used here, and there is a little advanced grammar, so I won't explain it much.

Don't give advice or ask the examiner, make a fake demonstration: "I'm from Gulin, I think you should go", or ask: Have you been there? Don't ask these questions.

Place names should be pronounced like English. Let's listen to the English pronunciation of "Beijing".

Finally, the examiner will ask you about your admission ticket. Can you show me your ID?

You can say: here you are; Sure, here you are; Here it is. ? You can say nothing, but it's always polite to say something.

You can smile and be confident when you speak. This small part is a very short answer and does not need any expansion.

Third, what clothes should I wear? Should I dress up?

Everyday clothes will do. This is just an exam. Wearing professional clothes is too formal.

But boys should not wear big underpants with slippers.

Girls may be obsessed with dressing up and have some "face value points", which does not exist. If dressing up can make you more confident, dress up. It is impossible to add points.

Fourth, will the accent affect the score?

No, people from any country will have accents, as long as the examiner can hear them clearly. Ya is thinking about pronunciation. If the pronunciation is unclear and the examiner can't understand you, he will be deducted.

Fifth, what if the examiner is very serious?

Although it is said that you should face the examiner as a friend, some examiners are very serious (you still have to act like a friend at this time). Don't worry that your grades will be affected. To a large extent, they just think your answer is in line with expectations. Follow the steps. You may get good grades when you meet such a cold examiner.

On the contrary, if you are chatting with the examiner, you should pay attention. He may think that your spoken English is far from enough, and there is no point in asking more questions. In order to avoid embarrassment, he has to chat and chew with you.

What does it mean that the examiner always looks at his watch?

The IELTS speaking test time is very tight, which should not be less than 1 1 minute or more than 14 minute, so it is normal for the examiner to look at his watch. Don't panic.

Seventh, what if the examiner interrupts me to answer?

There are three possibilities. One is that the examiner must interrupt you because there is not enough time. One is that the examiner is satisfied with your answer and can start the next question; It is also possible that you digress and the examiner wants you to answer the next question. In either case, don't panic, stay confident and answer the next question.

Eighth, is eye contact and body language important?

Simon has made it clear that body language, eye contact and dress do not affect the exam results, and the examiner is only interested in your spoken English. But if body language and eye contact make you feel comfortable or relaxed, use them.

I have a good class!

Ninth, what are the numbers written by the examiner on the paper?

99.9% of the time, it won't be your score, and the examiner will probably record the time. Don't cran your neck to see what the examiner is remembering.

Tenth, what if my answer doesn't matter?

Don't worry, the "content" mistakes won't be deducted. The examiner cares about your language, not your thoughts.

Eleventh, can I lie?

Yes, you can make up an experience. It is important to use good vocabulary. But lying will bring stress, and what is most needed in the oral exam is relaxation.

Twelfth, what if I have no experience at all?

Don't lie at this time. To tell the truth, it is easy for you to be inexperienced. It is very important to "answer questions directly" in oral English, so even if you have no certain experience, you can tell the examiner truthfully, and your answer also shows your oral ability.

Thirteenth, I didn't understand the question. Could you ask the examiner to repeat it?

Of course. In the first part, the examiner can ask questions repeatedly, but will not explain them. In the third part, you can ask the examiner to explain the problem.

Fourteenth, will asking the examiner to repeat the question affect the score?

No, but it's better not to exceed three times.

Fifteenth, may I ask the examiner?

No, don't ask the examiner any questions (except asking him repeatedly). It's your English ability.

Sixteenth, can I stop and correct my mistake?

If you can correct it immediately, then change it. If you can't, go on:

First, stopping means that it will affect your fluency, which is very important in spoken English.

Second, the examiner may not have heard your mistake.

Third, correcting yourself will bring pressure.

Seventeenth, what if my answer contains the next question?

Don't worry, the list of examiners is very long. If you answer, they will skip.

Eighteenth, can you prepare/correct the topic yourself?

No, you can only answer the questions on the task card. However, there is a question bank for the oral exam, which can be prepared in the early stage, but this is another story.

Nineteenth, should I include all the questions in the second part of the cue card?

No, but it is recommended to do so, because the points on the cue card actually tell you what to say and how to say it, which has helped you build the structure.

Twentieth, why should the exam be recorded?

For two reasons, one is that your grades should be assessed by another examiner.

The other is reconsideration. If you are not satisfied with your grades, you can reconsider. Of course it costs money. 1400 yuan. Therefore, good preparation can save money.

Twenty-first, can I prepare (recite) the answer in advance?

Do you know the embarrassment of "bumping into the answer"?

The examiner can know almost immediately whether you are reciting the answer, and he is disgusted.

Many roast ducks can read the machine sutra and recite the answers in advance, but it will bring great pressure to themselves. Although there is a question bank for oral English, the purpose is to exercise your thinking and your oral English.

The ultimate goal of IELTS test is to improve your English ability so that you can study and live in English-speaking countries. Is it necessary to prepare answers to questions that others may ask every day after going abroad? When someone asks you a question you are not prepared for, don't you want to say, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to ask this question? Why don't you come back tomorrow when I'm ready?

The IELTS test does have routines, but have you walked through these routines in a down-to-earth way? Or just recite other people's answers?

Finally, a compliment?
