二、连贯性用语

眼神的交流对口语考试只能起到辅助的作用，内容更为重要。怎么样在个人独白的过程中体现交流？那就需要连贯性用语。这不仅是有效交流的利器，还能降低 Part 2任务的难度。举例说明如下：

以Describe a city 为例。考生A的回答：Beijing is a large city. It is the capital of China. Beijing has many tourist attractions， such as， the Great Wall， the Palace Museum， and the Summer Palace. Beijing Roast Duck is very delicious. Peking Opera is amazing. Beijing successfully held the 2008 Olympic Games. …

RAFLE专家点评：该考生的确给出了关于一个城市的较多信息，但是表达十分生硬，片面追求答案只会给自己增加难度，其结果往往是吞吞吐吐，断断续续，最后因为所给的每句答案都过于简短直接因而还撑不满一分钟就无话可说了。即使考试的时候能够将这段话几乎无停顿地流利顺畅地讲出来并且还给出了足够的信息讲满了一分钟（基本上不可能，除非考前准备过），那么听起来也绝对像是背书，考官会猜疑答案是“记熟”的。相反，如果多一些连贯性用语那么结果就大不一样了。

看考生B的回答：OK， the city I am going to talk about is Beijing. Well， as you may probably know， it is a large city. And um， it is the capital of China. I suppose if I had to describe Beijing， the first thing I would say is that it offers tourists so many wonderful places to go， you know， the Great Wall， the Palace Museum， and uh， of course， the Summer Palace. Another reason to visit Beijing is the Roast Duck， which is really， really delicious. I am sure you are gonna love it！ Also， you can’t miss the Peking Opera. It’s amazing！。..

RAFLE专家点评：考生B还未将A 列的信息点都讲完就已经明显在篇幅上胜出了。这要归功于连贯语（划线处）的使用，不仅内容显得更丰富了，表达方式也更自然了，条理似乎也清晰了，这才是交流。

总之，要想口语考试中取得好的成绩，交流这一细节不容忽视。间或的眼神交流，自然的连贯词的使用，语调的适当变化都是辅助交流的必要手段，也是口语考试的制胜法宝。
