TEM Spoken Test
Part 1：复述故事
听一篇300字左右的故事，内容一般为过去发生的事情
听两遍（一遍美音，一遍英音），可以记笔记
听完直接开始复述，没有准备时间
3分钟完成，
复述原文即可，可以用原文句子，也可以重新组织语言。不需改变人称，不需发表评论或感想，但是改变人称或发表评论不予扣分
规定时间内没有完成，将根据缺失内容够分。不到3分钟完成不影响得分。Part 2：即席讲话
根据所给题目，准备3分钟，讲3分钟
题目往往和Part 1的故事有关，但切忌重复该故事
一般要求讲述亲身经历或过去发生的事情
主要内容应为事件发展经过，而不是议论
结尾可以适当总结点题
讲话过于简单，时间太短，将酌情扣分
略短于3分钟不影响得分
规定时间内未能完成，则视具体情况处理。如果主要情节完整，符合题目要求，只是故事复杂、细节较多而来不及完成，要不扣分；如果因为铺垫过长、啰嗦、
不流利等原因造成没有讲述完，则要扣分。
Part 3：交谈
根据题目规定角色和情景进行4分钟对话
双方已辩论或讨论的方式发表或阐述观点看法
Part 2结束后，你和你的搭档会拿到角色A、B的纸条，互相不能看，也不能讨论，有3分钟独立准备时间
一般为大学生熟悉的话题
应开阔思路，从不同角度阐释观点
不能单纯罗列观点，需有理有据，具体论述
应选择一、两点作为主要论点展开，其余作为补充，简单论述。
AB角要互动交流、有来有往，遵守交际原则和礼貌原则。
分别长篇独立讲话或者不给对方讲话都会影响得分。
最后是否达成一致意见或者说服对方不影响得分。
规定时间内未完成对话，不扣分；对话时间过短将影响得分。
