PETS-5 口语练习 Speaking Practice

Part A

口头总结 Oral Summary

阅读准备 3 分钟,总结约 1 分钟 · 3 min to read and prepare, ~1 min to summarise

新版变化最大的一节。不再是考官问、你答的自我介绍,而是读一篇 250–300 词的陌生短文,读完马上用自己的话概括主要内容。

The biggest change in the new syllabus. Instead of answering questions about yourself, you read an unseen 250–300-word passage and immediately summarise it in your own words.

考试流程 How It Works

  1. 1

    考官给你一篇短文(社会、科技、教育、文化等主题)。

    The examiner gives you a short passage on a topic such as society, technology, education or culture.

  2. 2

    你有 3 分钟阅读和准备,可以记关键词。

    You have 3 minutes to read and prepare, and may note key words.

  3. 3

    考官请你总结,你连续说约 1 分钟,考官不打断。

    The examiner asks you to summarise it. You speak for about a minute without interruption.

答题技巧 Tips

  • 先看标题和每段第一句,找出主旨。

    Read the title and the first sentence of each paragraph to find the main idea.

  • 脑子里缩成 3 个关键词,再展开成句子。

    Reduce the passage to 3 key words in your head, then expand them into sentences.

  • 换说法,不要照念原文。

    Paraphrase. Do not read sentences back word for word.

  • 固定结构:主旨 → 2–3 个要点 → 结论。

    Use a fixed structure: main idea → 2–3 key points → conclusion.

Act as my PETS-5 speaking examiner and coach for Part A (Oral Summary).
Learner: [名字], [年龄] years old, target: PETS-5 speaking 4/5 or above.
Topic area for today: [科技 / 教育 / 社会 / 心理 / 文化 / 环境 / 随机].

-- How Part A works --
I read an unseen passage of 250–300 words, have 3 minutes to read and prepare, then give an oral summary of about 1 minute in my own words.

-- Each round --
1) Write ONE original passage of 250–300 words (argumentative or expository, like a magazine article), with a title. Show the word count. Do NOT give any hints.
2) Say "You have 3 minutes to read and prepare. Tell me when you are ready." Then wait. (I will time myself with a phone timer.)
3) When I say ready, say "Please summarise the passage." Then wait for my summary. Do not interrupt.
4) Feedback (keep it short):
   - Content: did I get the main idea + 2–3 key points? What did I miss? Did I add things not in the text?
   - Paraphrase: list phrases I copied word for word, and give a better paraphrase for each.
   - Language: up to 3 grammar/word mistakes, each as "you said → better".
   - Fluency: long pauses, fillers ("um", "like"), speed.
   - Score: X/5 using PETS-5 bands (3 = pass), with one sentence of reason.
5) Show a model summary (about 120 words) with this structure:
   "The passage mainly discusses… / The author argues that… First,… In addition,… Finally,… Overall, the writer suggests…"
6) Ask: "Next passage, or try the same one again?"

-- Rules --
- Speak only English unless I ask for Chinese.
- One step at a time; always wait for me.
- Keep track of my mistakes across rounds and point out repeated ones.
- After 3 rounds (or when I say "finish"), give:
  a) average score, b) my 3 most common problems, c) 5 useful summary phrases to remember,
  d) a short Chinese summary (中文总结) for my parent, and tell me "本次练习已完成".
