1、1PETS 考试能考查哪些英语能力？PETS 考查的能力是建立在“交际语言行为模式”上。这种模式以语言交际需要为掌握外语的目的，将语言能力分为“接受”、“产出”、“互动”等，根据各种情景和任务，在特定主题和话语下，结合相关的语言行为进行教学或考查。这些能力与通常所说的“听”、“说”、“读”、“写”等能力的关系是：接受能力读和听；产出能力写和说；互动能力书面和口语的直接交流。PETS 重点考查交际能力，但并不完全排斥对语言知识(语法、词汇等)的考查。所以，PETS 考查的内容包括：听力、语言知识、阅读、写作、口语。无论哪一个等级的口语考试，其考查的核心都是互动技能与有效交流。口语考试成绩=个人真
2、实的口语水平 x 现场表现系数 x 考官认可系数。这三部分中，口语水平短时间内很难有大的提高，虽然完全可以通过充分的准备从而“脱胎换骨” 。考官是否认可不能由你把握，但是与你的现场表现直接相关。所以，如果想要在口语考试中拿到高分，最能控制也是最立竿见影的就是你的现场表现。一句话：你要影响考官。全国英语等级考试（PETS）三级口试样题Part I (3 minutes)Task: Identifying oneself; identifying things/ people; passing on information.

15、种多媒体学习工具，给自己的“耳朵 ”和“嘴巴”充足的锻炼机会。最后写作部分也不可忽视，要充分了解作文要求，平时不仅要多写多练，也不要忘了让老师或同学修改，在修改中才能提高。 口语考试也要注意心理素质的训练，平时可以针对考试形式和内容，找老师和同学多做相应的训练，这样在考场上就不会心慌了。“拳不离手、曲不离口” ，你老练老练就上口了，平常很经典的句子的表达法，要有意识的学会一点一点的进行积累。口语考试注意事项：1. 考生进入试室的时候要注意，学会主动问候。这是考察你语言交际能力非常重要的方面，你学了半天英语，连一个交际都不能完成吗？这个时候不要紧张，主要准备一下自己的个人情况，要自然。2. 有些
16、考生认为表述的速度越快越好，事实是，根据考试评分标准的要求，考试注重内容的表达及流利程度。考试过程中尽量用适中的、均匀的速度进行表述。因此，表述过程中只要不出现过多的停顿就没有多大的关系。考生在思考措词时，如要进行短暂的思考，尽量用交际功能性表达法中常用的如：well、you see、I mean 、that is等来过渡，以避免表述过程中不自然的中断。3. 如果听不懂考官的问题，是可以问考官重复问题的.如果同学们真的听不懂考官问题时不要乱猜,一定要保持镇定,礼貌地让考官重复他的问题.如果问题太难，可以让考官换种形式来问此问题.Would you please say it again?Wou
