你已經準備就緒、充分練習，而現在你想知道考試時自己該做些什麼。

Here are five tips to help you get the best mark in your next speaking exam.

以下是 5 個可以幫助你在下一場英文口試中拿到高分的秘訣。

Number one: Remember, it's not a race, so slow down!

第一點：記得，這不是賽跑比賽，所以把速度放慢！

Before you speak, think carefully about what you want to say and speak a little slower than normal.

開口之前先仔細思考要講的內容，接著用比平常慢一點的速度回答。

Number two: If you don't understand the question or the activity, don't worry.

第二點：如果聽不懂問題或題目指示也別擔心。

Ask the examiner to explain it again.

請考官再解釋一次。

You can say something like, "Could you repeat that, please?"

例如你可以說：能否請你再重複一遍？

Number three: When you're asked a question, don't just say "yes" or "no" as your answer.

第三點：回答問題的時候不要只說「是」或「否」。

The examiner wants to know how good your English is!

考官想知道你真正的英文程度！

So, try to explain your answer with a reason.

所以試著解釋你的答案。

Say "Yes, I agree because ..." or "No, I don't think so, because ..."

你可以說：「是的，我同意，因為......」或者「不，我不認為，因為......」。

Number four: Look at the examiner's or other students' faces and eyes when you speak.

第四點：回答時看著考官或其他考生的臉和眼睛。

Faces can tell you a lot!

臉部表情可以揭露許多事情！

If you see that the examiner or your partner don't understand you, then say it again using different words.

倘若你看見考官或是應考夥伴一臉茫然，那就改變措辭再說一遍。

And finally, number five: Speak clearly so that the examiner can hear you.

最後，第五點：保持口齒清晰，考官才能聽清楚。

If you find this difficult, practice with a friend at home.

如果你覺得這點很困難，就先在家和朋友練習。

Stand at opposite ends of a room and speak to each other in English.

站在房間的兩頭並用英文交談。

Or speak to each other in English online or on the phone.

或者用網路、電話用英文聊天。

OK, so these are our top five tips, but just one final piece of advice.

好，以上就是最重要的五項技巧，但再補充最後一點。

Your teacher or examiner are only human, and usually they will really want you to do well.

你的老師或考官也是人，而且他們往往非常希望你表現良好。

So, take a deep breath, smile, relax and good luck with your next speaking exam!
