询问个人信息

本项考试内容：涉及个人信息的诸多方面，考官的提问更是千变万化，但一定设计个人信息的某个方面。通常，为了核对考生资格，考官会问以下问题：What’s your name?/can you spell your family name?/can you spell your surname?/ what’s your number? 回答范例：My name is Ray. That’s R-A-Y, Ray.

本项考试的目的是：考官借助于对考生个人信息的提问，核对考生考试资格，并通过与考生之间的交流，考察考生的发音，语法和用词。

本项考试从难度上来说是口语三项考试之末，但由于其为考试第一项，所以考生在本项中留给考官们的印象至关重要。考生们必须认真对待。

考生在本项考试中必须做到：

1.克服考试开始时的紧张情绪。方法：提前进入考场，适应考场环境。了解考试模式，进行模拟训练。

2.听清考官所问之问题。若没有听懂，可以要求考官重复其问题。方法：使用I am sorry but could you repeat your question?/I beg your pardon, Madam(Sir)?等句型。

3.全面地回答考官提出的问题，不能跑题。

实用技巧：A. 对于考官提出的特殊疑问句，首先使用单词、词组或句子给予明确的答复。然后阐述理由。B. 对于考官提出的一般疑问句，首先答复yes或者no，然后阐述理由。C. 对于考官提出的选择疑问句，方法同A。

4.不要与另一位考生交流，不要干扰另一位考生的答题。

5.有时由于时间问题，考官有可能非常简单地进行本项甚至打断考生的答题，这考生的临场表现没有任何关系。出现上述情况，切忌紧张。
