How many of you would like to score high in Oral Test? I bet all of you would, isn’t it?
Attaining outstanding results from the biannual oral examinations is possible if you learn and stick to the following constructive tips:
1) Smile and Greet the Examiner
Be polite. Give your Examiner the most brilliant smile and greet him/her. By doing so, you are highly likely to secure an impressive first impression. You may practice this at home by checking your smile in the mirror, do this a few times and you will improve and who knows you can master the ‘smile with your eyes’ look and stand out among your classmates and leave an everlasting impression on your examiner.
2) Sit Up Straight
After greeting the examiner, you will be asked to take a seat. Now sit up straight, do not slouch, you do not want to appear to your examiner that there is no energy flowing in you nor do you want to give your examiner an impression that you are bored or unmotivated. Next, do not sit or rock your chair on two legs because you do not want to look like a fool should you lose your balance and fall.
3) Read Aloud in a Lively Tone
When reading the passage, read aloud so that your examiner does not have to strain his/her ears to ear your mumbling. Do not read in a mono-tone and should you do this,you can easily drive your examiner to boredom within seconds, so READ IN A LIVELY TONE! It will be better if you can have the appropriate expressions on your face which can definitely engage your examiner to enjoy listening to your reading and grant you with high scores.
4) Pronounce and Emphasize lightly words ending with ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘s’, ‘k’
Oral exam is test on your pronunciation thus it is important to pronounce clearly each and every word and by doing so, you are required to emphasize the ending of every words. For instance, students tend to read the word ‘baskets’ without the ‘s’ and the word ‘appeared’ without the ‘ed’. Practice reading aloud whenever you chance upon any passages. With practices, you will soon master pronouncing every single word and it will come out from your mouth automatically.
5) Slight Pause at Every Comma and Full Stop
The purpose of commas and full stops is to break up sentences. Likewise, when we read, we need to give a slight pause for every comma and full stop, otherwise, it would be rather difficult to understand the passage should you read the passage without any pauses.
6) Different Tone for Dialogues
When there is dialogues in the oral passage, give a different tone from the normal tone you read the passage.
For example, <The old man said feebly “Can you give me some food, I’ve not eaten for three days“> Portray the tone of an old man by reading the dialogue in a slow, weak and low tone
Another example, <The lady complained loudly “Your service is very lousy!“> This time round the tone for this dialogue should be in high, slightly louder and in a frustrated tone.
Should you be able to read in the appropriate tones for different dialogues, the examiner will find your oral reading entertaining.
7) Attempt to Pronounce Difficult Words
If you chance upon words that you do not know how to pronounce, break the word up and try to pronounce with confident. Do NOT Pause at the word and wait for the examiner to help you! Sometimes, the examiner does not even realize that you have difficulty reading that word because their concentration span decreases after listening repeatedly to so many students reading the same passage over and over again.
8) Thank the Examiner
Lastly, towards the end of the oral examination and before you stand up to leave, remember to thank the examiner. Once again, be polite, smile brightly. Leave the examiner your best everlasting impression.
By adhering to the above 8 tips, you are not far from attaining high score for your oral exam. Best of Luck! 🙂
