Have you ever taken a speaking test in English?
你曾经参加过英语口语测试吗？

如果你曾经参加过雅思口语考试，那么你就会知道：整个过程感觉就像一场面试。
The examiners are usually very lovely and
考官们通常都非常友善。
they try to put you at ease but it doesn't change the facts that someone is sitting right there watching you and judging your English, right?

Well this is why I created this practice for you to give you speaking test practice
这就是为什么我为你们设计了这套练习题，以便让你们能够进行口语考试的模拟训练。
without the stress but this is going to be a fun speaking practice for you even if you are not planning on taking the IELTS test.
虽然不需要承受太大的压力，但这对你来说仍然是一次很好的口语练习机会——即使你并不打算参加雅思考试。
You can still use this lesson to practice your speaking skills with me and of course learn some new vocabulary.
你仍然可以利用这一课程来与我一起练习口语技能，当然也可以学习一些新的词汇。
If you know a little about the IELTS speaking test already then you know that part two is the tricky one.
如果你对雅思口语考试已经有所了解的话，那么你就会知道第二部分是考试中比较棘手的部分。
It's where the examiner gives you a topic that you haven't seen before.
在这个环节中，考官会给你一个你之前从未见过的主题。
You have a minute to write a
你有一分钟的时间来写……（不过原文并未明确指出具体要写什么内容。）
couple of notes but then you need to speak about this topic for one to two minutes without a break.
有几点需要注意：首先，你需要连续一到两分钟不间断地讨论这个话题。
So today I want to show you
那么今天，我想向你们展示一些东西。
exactly what a full confident band 8 answer looks like or sounds like and then you are going to practice delivering it out loud with me.
这正是那种充满自信的回答应该具备的样子（无论是从文字表达还是语音表达上来看）。接下来，你将和我一起练习如何大声说出这样的回答。
Alright so how does this speaking practice work?
好的，那么这种口语练习到底是怎么进行的呢？
It's a role time around you are going to be the examiner so you'll be asking me questions.
现在轮到你了——你将担任考官的角色，因此你需要向我提出问题。
I'm the candidate I'm going to be responding to the questions.
我就是那位将回答问题的人。
I want you to pay attention listen to my response.
我希望你们能认真听我说的话，并注意我的回答。
I'm going to try and answer as much as I can like a band 8 candidate would and then
我会尽力像一个成绩为8分的考生应该做的那样回答问题。
we will swap roles so that you are the candidate and you deliver that band 8 response.
我们将互换角色：由你来担任应聘者，并给出那份获得评分“8”的回答。
Are you ready?
你准备好了吗？
Okay you're up first.
好的，你先来吧。
You need to read the line on the next screen and I want you to do it in your best examiner voice.
你需要阅读下一屏幕上显示的文字，并且要用你最标准的“考官式”语气来朗读它。
Okay go for it.
好吧，那就试试看吧。
I'd
我会
like you to describe something that you own that is very important to you.
希望你能描述一件属于你的、对你来说非常重要的东西。
You should say where you got it from, how long you've had it,
你应该说明你是从哪里得到它的，以及你已经拥有它有多久了。
what you use it for and explain why it's important to you.
请说明你使用它的具体目的，并解释为什么它对你来说很重要。
You can start speaking now.
你现在可以开始说话了。
Okay so I'm going to talk about my car.
好的，我打算谈谈我的汽车。
It's not just any car, it was my dad's car and it's become the thing that I treasure most.
这可不是一辆普通的汽车——它曾是我父亲的座驾，如今已成为我最珍视的物品。
I inherited it from him not long after he passed away.
他在去世后不久，我就从他那里继承了它。
The car is a 1995 Lexus LS 400 which I will admit is quite an unusual car for someone my age to drive.
这辆车是一辆1995年款的雷克萨斯LS 400；老实说，对于我这个年纪的人来说，驾驶这样的车确实相当不寻常。
It's a real classic though and so comfortable on long journeys.
不过这确实是一款经典产品，在长途旅行中使用起来非常舒适。
Unfortunately the V8 engine isn't the car itself.
遗憾的是，V8发动机并不能代表这辆汽车的全部价值（或者说，V8发动机并不是这辆汽车的核心或决定性特征）。
It's my dad's old iPod that's still plugged into the stereo.
这是我爸爸用过的旧 iPod，至今还插在音响设备上呢。
So whenever I'm driving I listen to all of his favorite music.
因此，每当我开车的时候，我都会播放他所有最喜欢的音乐。
I inherited his taste in music too so driving around it really feels like he's still with me.
我也继承了他的音乐品味，因此开车时总会有一种感觉：他仿佛依然陪伴在我身边。
The car probably isn't worth much anymore but to me it's priceless and I don't think I'll ever be able to part with it.
这辆车可能已经没什么价值了，但对我来说它是无价的；我想我永远都无法割舍它。
