　　本項考試從難度上來說居于口語三項考試之首。

　　考生在本項考試中必須做到：

　　1.仔細(xì)閱讀本項考試文字材料，明確所要達(dá)到的目的。(討論什么;決定什么)

　　2.在討論的開頭迅速對所討論的話題的背景進(jìn)行簡單介紹。

　　實用技巧：將文字材料中的字句進(jìn)行簡化并表達(dá)出來。(見范例)

　　3.兩名考生討論和解決的問題進(jìn)行。

　　實用步驟1：一問一答式的討論(范例1)

　　A提問(一句話)——B回答(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話)，A附和(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話)——一B提問(一句話)——A回答(一句話),闡述理由(兩句話)，B附和(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話).——A或B定下決定(一句話)——B或A支持決定(一句話)。

　　這種方法思路清晰明確，但切忌回答過于簡單。

　　實用步驟2：各自闡述觀點的討論(范例2)

　　A闡述觀點(一句話)和理由(兩句話)——B對A的觀點表態(tài)(一句話)，闡述自己的觀點并闡述理由(兩句話)——雙方討論，深入闡述本人觀點(A，B各兩句話)——定下決定(A，B各一句話)。

　　這種方法適合對問題的辯論。但考生需注意彼此的交流。

　　A.提問者將文字材料中規(guī)定討論的部分(通常特殊疑問句)改為一般疑問句并進(jìn)行表述。

　　B.使用第一人稱I或We進(jìn)行表述，自然進(jìn)入虛擬的工作環(huán)境中。
