【精华讲义-1】外国语学校面试之朗读短文
第一期：外国语学校面试之朗读短文 Step1.了解面试中朗读的要求
一、朗读的考情分析
朗读短文主要考察学生的语音语调，短文理解和口语表达能力。历年试题中朗读的短文字数在70～110左右，题材较广，问题为4个左右。
朗读时，同学们应注意语速适中,不要过快,以至于单词发音不清楚，也不要过慢。连贯地朗读，语音清晰，语调优美，充满情感。回答问题时，先思考一下，不要急于给出答案。
分析历年朗读材料考题，可以发现，对于人物或事物的议论在面试题中占有稳定的席位。无论阅读材料怎么变，所出的问题总有那么一道需要同学们表达自己的观点。从考官的角度来看，这类题目一来可以看出学生是否读懂材料，是对英语水平的检测；二来通过具体的回答内容可以考查到学生的逻辑思维和语言组织能力以及一些价值判断，一举两得。
二、朗读短文失分点
1、单词读音不标准。
2、没有掌握连读等技巧，朗读不流畅。
3、语调平淡，把文章读得没有高低起伏，没有抑扬顿挫，没有情感。
4、语速过快或过慢。
6、一听完问题，没有想好，就马上作答，以致于思绪混乱，回答的乱七八糟。
7、表达自己观点时，句式单一，且内容冗长、啰嗦。 Step2:朗读短文备考建议
小升初的英语口语面试，考的是临场的应变能力和反应速度。我们可以从以下几个方面来加强平时的训练，冲刺高分。
一、语音语调要正确
大部分学生在朗读文章时，单词的发音都很正确，基本不成问题。但是在语调方面把握得好就不容易了，不少同学把文章读得如同凉白开一样平淡，没有高低起伏，没有抑扬顿挫，没有情感浸润，而这些正是朗读部分考查的重要标准。

要想有所提高，最好的办法是跟着录音走，一个句子里哪里要重读或是升调，哪里要轻读或是降调，听录音找差距，然后尽量地模仿，在朗读时适当地加上一些感情色彩，如高兴、悲伤、快乐、忧愁等情感变化，相信一定会给面试官留下深刻的印象。
二、语速要适中
文章的内容其实很简单，所以不少同学就不知不觉地提高了语速，忽略了句子之间以及段落之间的停顿，顾不上理解文章，最终导致在下一部分时回答不上问题。因此，同学们一定要注意：适当放缓语速，注意句子和段落之间的停顿，这不仅在朗读上显得有松有紧，而且更重要的是能够加强对文章的理解，以免在回答问题环节丢分。另外还有一个好处，就是能够多扫几眼后面跟着的单词，比如在读“The earliest……”这个句子时，要留意到“the”的发音要改变，但是如果读得太快，则可能忽略这一点，口语模拟时就有同学中招了。
三、万一遇到‘新单词’不会读该怎么办？
读文章时如果碰到了不会读的新单词，这个时候千万不要慌张，可以停下来向考官询问，“Sorry, I don’t know how to read this word.”保证自己口语面试全过程的纯英文表达，这也是向面试官展示自己认真专注的另一面，一般考官都会告诉你这个单词的发音，毕竟这不是在考你的词汇量，碰到不认识的单词很正常，你所要做的就是把会读的部分读好就足够了。
四、回答问题要简洁
在读完文章后，回答问题应该尽量简洁、准确、肯定。在充足的时间内，可以用简单的长句来回答，即“主语+谓语+宾语”结构，反之则可以用短语来简洁回答，针对相应的when, what, where, how, why部分，准确定位，给出正确答案。 Step3 真题演练
