面接は
声で勝つ
S-CBTのスピーキングは試験の一番最初。面接官はおらず、画面の質問にマイクで答える録音式です。流れ・秒数・テンプレ・予想カード(模範解答・練習タイマーつき)をまとめました。
態度点3点を満点にする3か条
① 声量
普段の1.3倍。マイクチェックから本番の声で。② 即応性
赤ランプ後1〜2秒で第一声(Well, でもOK)。③ 明瞭さ
語尾まではっきり。尻すぼみが最大の敵。沈黙ゼロ化の武器
- つなぎ言葉:Well, … / Let me see, … / That's a difficult question, but …(1解答1回まで)
- 言い直し:I mean, … / Sorry, let me say that again.
- 単語が出ない→簡単な語で説明(a machine that sells drinks)。
- 理由が出ない→万能理由に接続:お金・時間・健康・環境・便利・安全(準1級はさらに教育・プライバシー・高齢化)。
