2、troduction Questions1.“Good morning (good afternoon). My names X. Can you tell me your full name, please?”(= Please tell me your name.)2.“What can I call you?” (= What shall I call you? = What should I call you? = What would you like me to call you?)3.“Can you tell me where youre from?”(= Where are

3、you from?)4.“Can I see your identification, please?”(= Could I see your identification, please? = May I see your identification, please?)-(The examiner is usually referred to as he on this page because writing, he or she is too cumbersome. Actually, about 40% of the examiners are female.)-The Introd

4、uctory phase of the test consists of a greeting from the examiner, followed by four questions.The main purpose of this part is to check the candidates identity. At the same time, the examiner begins to get an impression of the candidates English ability.Although this is (indirectly) part of the test

5、, you should not give long, detailed answers because:a) Long, detailed answers are not appropriate for these questions and,b) The examiner wants to do this part of the test quite quickly, in about 30 seconds.Since this is the very beginning of the test and since the examiner wants to do this part qu

6、ickly, try to avoid causing the examiner to ask you to repeat what you just said.The four questions are standard questions that are used in every test. Therefore, since we know exactly what the questions will be, it is a good idea to look at them in order to avoid making unnecessary mistakes.When th

7、e examiner first turns on the tape recorder, he makes a short statement into the tape recorder, stating such information as the date, location and the candidates name.1. Then the examiner says something like:“Good morning. My names John. Could you tell me your full name, please?” Many examiners say

8、these three sentences together, without pausing after saying, “Good morning. My names X.” Because the examiner does not pause to wait for the candidate to return the greeting, most candidates just answer the question without returning the greeting. However, its both good manners and more friendly to

9、 return a greeting. In other words, you should include “Good morning.” or “Good afternoon” in your answer. If you can catch the examiners name (without asking him to repeat it because he wants to do this section quite fast) then you should also include his or her name in your answer. Dont say, “Good

10、 morning, Mr. John.” The words Mr., Miss, Mrs. and Ms. are only used before a persons surname and “John” is not (usually) a surname. The examiner usually just says his or her given name (first name), not their full name. A suitable reply is: “Good morning, John. My name is Wang Jianfeng.” If you do

11、not include his name, it doesnt matter too much but remember that the examiner is a human being and hearing you say his name would be a pleasant surprise for him! He will think of you, “What a nice person!” Throughout the speaking test, it is best to use the contracted forms of English whenever poss

12、ible but in this first answer, it is perfectly appropriate to say, “My name is” rather than, “My names”. It is appropriate here because when a person states his or her name in a situation such as the IELTS interview, they usually want to say it very clearly so that the listener makes no mistake with

13、 the name. Dont forget, the examiner is verifying your identity here. Its ok to say, “Good morning, John. My full name is Wang Jianfeng.” but its not really necessary to repeat the word, “full”. However, you definitely must say your complete name dont just say, “My names Wang.” Even though you are s

14、peaking a Chinese name, you still should speak it clearly for the foreigner. In fact, you should speak it more clearly than you would if you were speaking to a Chinese person. This is because it is important for the examiner to confirm that it really is you sitting there and not your brother or some

15、one else. The examiner has your application form in front of him and your name is written on it in hanyu pinyin. Remember, the examiner does not want to waste time by asking you to repeat your name because he didnt hear it clearly. Dont change the order of your name and say your name is, “Jianfeng W

16、ang”. (Even if you do the test overseas, respect your Chinese naming system.) Besides, your name will be written as, Wang Jianfeng on the application form, which is what the examiner is looking at as you say your name. Dont say, “My Chinese name is _”. It is completely unnecessary to say the word, “

17、Chinese” because the purpose here is to check your legal identity, that is, your real name; you only have one legal name and that is your Chinese name. The wording of the question, “. your full name .” shows that this is a serious question and that the examiner wants you to say your real name. Your

18、English name, if you have one, is no more significant than a nickname; you can change it at any time. Dont spell your name.(Only spell it if the examiner cant understand your pronunciation of it.) Dont say, “Wang is my family name and Jianfeng is my given name.” The question didnt ask you to explain

19、 your name. Sometimes there is a Part 1 topic concerning Names and in such a topic, explaining your name could be suitable. But not here. Saying that also gives the examiner the feeling that your answer comes from an IELTS book. You should avoid causing the examiner to think this because examiners v

20、ery much prefer original answers from you. The only time when itmightbe appropriate to explain which is your surname and which is your given name is if you are a Chinese person doing the IELTS test overseas. Dont call the examiner, “Sir”, “Miss” or “Madame”. If you didnt hear his or her name, just s

21、ay, “Good morning.” without saying his or her name. Using “Sir”, “Miss” or “Madame” is a sign that you either consider the examiner to be a teacher or that you are being unnecessarily formal or that you consider the examiner to be your superior you should think of the examiner as an equal, not as so

22、meone superior to you. If you think of the examiner as an equal, you will speak more openly, be more relaxed and get a better score than if you think he or she is a superior,or some kind of examining god. Remember, Westerners are usually less formal than Chinese people. The examiners question was, “

23、Could you tell me your full name, please?” and this sounds like a “Yes/No” question. However, this form of question is not really a “Yes/No” question; its an indirect question, which really means, “What is your full name?” Indirect questions are considered more polite than direct questions. Whenever

24、 you are asked such an indirect question, you should not answer with, “Yes” or, “Yes, I could.” Native English speakers sometimes do answer such questions by first saying a very quick, “Yes” butyoushould not say that because the examiner might think that you think it really is a “Yes/No” question. S

25、ome candidates give an answer such as this: “My name is Wang Jianfeng but you can call me Robert.” This answer is quite acceptable and quite natural in a non-test situation, for example, if you meet a foreigner on the bus. But I suggest you dont say that in the IELTS Speaking test because some exami

26、ners might think that you already knew what the second question is (“What can I call you?”) and that you had rehearsed your answer and examiners dont like answers that seem to beobviouslyrehearsed. Not only that, adding the words, “. but you can call me .” in a situation where someone isverifying yo

27、ur identityis a little unsuitable. If a policeman or a bank clerk asked you,“Can you tell me your full name, please?” would you answer with,“My name is Wang Jianfeng but you can call me Robert” ? In other words, I would say it is betternotto add, “. but you can call me .” after this question. Instea

28、d, wait for the examiners second question. 1. Then the examiner will say:“What can I call you?”(Or, “What shall I call you?”) With this question, the examiner is indicating that he or she would like to address you in the test with some name that is shorter andfriendlierthan your full name. This is a

29、 sign that the test will not be very formal and serious but will instead, to some extent, have some of the features of a friendly chat. However, as I mentioned above, it is better to wait forthe examinerto indicate this, with this second question, than foryouto make the decision on the formality lev

30、el of the test by saying, . but you can call me . Let the examiner be in charge of the test. You dont need to use an English name! But if you do use an English name, make sure that it is simple and easy for the examiner to understand the first time you say it. Its probably best to use a fairly commo

31、nly used name. For example, no English speaker chooses to be called, “Apple”, even as a nickname. This kind of name could cause the examiner to ask you to repeat your name because he might not be sure he heard it correctly. If you do choose to say an English name, make sure that you can pronounce it correctly! Mispronouncing your own English (nick)name is an unnecessary mistake and would not give the examiner a very
