考试成绩评定：A—优秀，B—良好，C —及格，D—不及格。
我的小解释:三一考试的及格分数是:65分, 良好:75分, 优秀:85分如果你报了名但是没有去考试的话,那么就会是Q,在教育网站上查的时候,缺考的显示就是Q.因为三一考试是一对一的考试,所以很多家长都怀疑她的公平性,这个担心是不必要的,因为:1. 考试全程录音:考试的考官把录音交给考试院监考的工作人员,这个工作人员把录音交给考试院,2. 考官集体审听录音: 考试院会组织考官们一起来审听这个录音的,一个一个地听,来判断第一个考官的打分是否合理.这个审听特别对那些分数在65,75,85左右的考生很重要.因为毕竟是口语,不是AABB完全绝对的答案,所以难免会有些个人因素.如果这个考生的分数是64分,经过考官们一起听过后,如果大部分人都觉得这个考生是可以被给予C的话,那么这个考生就算通过了.按照原则讲,64分是不通过的.但是这种"提分"的过程是给具备这个考试这个级别考生的一种鼓励和肯定. 但是也不排除有那种得了66分的考生,被听审后被打到D,不通过.这个很可能出现,因为,对于好多学生,都是准备过后去考试的,有一部分考试可能是在她准备范围之内的,有一部分是她没有准备那么好的,不是在她背诵过的范围内的,所以就表现欠佳.特别是4--6级考试,大部分学生都考这些级别,这些级别分2部分,一般来说,学生第一部分做得比第二部分更好些,因为好多学生在第一部分背诵得很好,比较而言,第二部分就逊色些,其实第二部分更现实学生的真实口语水平,如果这两部分出现很大的落差,那么一个66分的学生,在第二轮的听审中,很可能被判为D.3. 部分抽样寄往英国伦敦再次审听: 特别对于那些分数在65,75,85左右的学生,他们的录音最可能被抽出来寄往英国伦敦三一学院让那边的考官听,让他们最后参考前面两轮的考官意见,给予最后一个判断. 所以好多家长觉得仅仅凭第一轮考官的判断就给自己的孩子定级了很不靠谱,这个担心在这里是很没有必要的.当然了,考官中也许也有很极个别的考官判断失误的,这种错误的机率特别小,千分之一二左右,这个不是我瞎说的哈,我的一位导师(三一资深考官)告诉我的.预备段（1-3级）考试时间：1级－5分钟， 2级－6分钟， 3级－7分钟。

五级经典背诵Festivals⑴. The Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival starts on the first day of the first lunar month. It is the most important traditional Chinese festival as well as a nice time for family bonding. On the Spring Festival Eve, all the family members will get together to have the family reunion dinner. After that, we watch New Year’s specials on TV and eat a kind of traditional Chinese food----jiaozi. I always go out to set off fireworks with my parents and friends.I can get some gift money which makes me very happy.During the festival, we visit relatives and exchange New Year greetings.⑵. The Lantern FestivalThe Lantern Festival is on the 15th day of the first lunar month. On that day, we eat a kind of traditional Chinese food Yuanxiao or Tangyuan, which is small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour. The thing that I like most about the Lantern Festival is the beautiful lanterns. Also, it’s an old Chinese tradition to solve the puzzles on the lanterns, which is really interesting.⑶. The Dragon Boat FestivalThe Dragon Boat Festival has a long history back to 277 B.C. On that day, people eat Zongzi and hold boat races to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. And from 2008, people can get a day off on the Dragon Boat Festival.⑷. The Mid-Autumn FestivalThe Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important traditional festival in China. On that day, all the family members will get together to have a family reunion dinner like the Spring Festival. People eat a traditional Chinese food—moon cakes, and I prefer the ones with yolks inside. After that, we enjoy the glorious full moon together. From 2008, people can get a day off on the Mid-Autumn Festival.⑸. The Double Ninth Festival/DayThe 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the traditional Chongyang Festival, or the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, people will eat Double Ninth Gao (or Cake). The Double Ninth Festival is also a time when chrysanthemum blooms. Young people will bring their parents or grandparents suburban areas or send gifts to them on this day.⑹ ChristmasChristmas is the most important festival in many western countries just like the Spring Festival in China. People decorate their rooms to make some festive atmosphere. To people all over the world, Christmas is a season of giving and receiving presents. Children put socks on the bed ends, hoping Santa Claus will leave some gifts for them on Christmas Eve.(7). HalloweenOn October 31st, children knock on their neighbors' doors and yell "Trick or Treat" when the door opens, and of course they can get some candies.(8)Children’s DayI think Children’s Day is the most important day for children, because it is very specia l for us. On that day, I don’t have to do any homework, so my parents can take me to park, and I will get some gifts. I usually have a lot of fun on Children’s Day.(9)Q: Nowadays, many young people in China like to celebrate Western festivals rather than traditional Chinese festivals, what do you think of it?A: I don’t think they are doing the right thing. As Chinese people, we should put our traditional Chinese culture ahead of others, and respect our own festivals, although some Western festivals are really good, like Thanksgiving Day, a festival which reminds us to give our thanks to other people.Special OccasionsNational Flag-raising CeremonyOur school holds a national flag raising ceremony every Monday. On that day, we are asked to wear school uniforms to go to school. We sing the National anthem together and pay great honor to our national flag. At that time, I am very proud of being a Chinese people.Celebrate the birthdayOn my birthday, my parents will hold a birthday party for me. I will invite some friends and classmates to my party. We can have a large meal together. Before we share the birthday cake, they will sing the “happy birthday”song for me, and I will make a wish then blow off the candles. I will get a lot of birthday gifts which makes me very happy. I always have a lot of fun on my birthday.Wedding ceremonyThe traditional Chinese wedding ceremony is usually not simple. When new couples are engaged, their parents would choose the date of their marriage. Most people would favor a holiday or a more convenient for their relatives and friends.On the day of the wedding, when the bride arrives firecrackers are set off and colorful ribbons and small pieces of colored paper are thrown all over the bride and bridegroom. And the new couple would stand side by side, making three bows then say their wedding vows.The wedding ceremony very often ends with a big banquet. The people there would wish the couple long life, ever-lasting love, happiness and so on.EntertainmentMy view on TV.TV is very important in our life. We can get to know all kinds of events around the world. We can know the weather, information, laws, knowledge and so on. After busy work, we can watch some funny programs to relax.TV benefits us, but sometimes it has bad influence. Some students watch TV day and night. It influences their lessons. Some programs are not good for children.So we should choose proper programs at proper time for people in different ages. What do you think entertainment?I think entertainment plays a very important role in our daily life. Like the old saying says: all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We can’t just make our life full of study and work, and we have to make our life colorful and meaningful by doing something fun.MusicUseful sentences:Music eases my mind and helps me release pressure.音乐可以让我放松心情，释放压力。

伦敦三⼀⼝语五级讲义-festivalI. 三⼀五级考试形式是什么？5分钟，每个部分各有特⾊。
1）⾃选话题讨论，也可以理解为个⼈⾃由发挥。
因为考⽣可以就⾃⼰感兴趣的任何⼀个话题来讨论，再辅以5个讲述点(最好体现本级考试的语⾔功能要求)即可，⽽考官通常会对其中3到4个进⾏提问。
2）在此部分考试中我们也可以准备⼀些与话题相关的实物，⽐如照⽚，模型，图⽚，和考官就准备的话题轻松随意的讨论，讨论中考官可能要求考⽣提供更多的信息，事实和细节。
考⽣⾄少要问考官1个与⾃选话题相关的问题。
：双向对话，考⽣需要和考官围绕5级的其中2个对话题⽬进⾏讨论。
●节⽇●汽车和⾃⾏车●庆祝活动(如:⽣⽇)●娱乐(如:电影院、电视、俱乐部等)●⾳乐●个⼈最近发⽣的事情在此部分考试中考⽣需具备：a 能讲述⼀些事情的经过，能就⼀些意见和打算给出原因和解释。
b 能理解考官的意思，能表达个⼈的观点，能就熟悉的话题与考官交谈个⼈的兴趣和⽇常⽣活相关的事情。
c.考⽣⾄少要问考官1个与对话话题相关的问题II. 本级语⾔功能和语法要求：1）现在完成时2）because引导的从句3）⼀般将来时和⼀般过去时4）表述数量和程度从⼝试的形式可以看出，考官更着重考察考⽣的交际能⼒，⽽不是简单的⼀问⼀答的机械对话。
具体⽽⾔，考官将会在流利程度(fluency)，语法(grammar)，词汇(vocabulary)和语⾳(pronunciation)4个⽅⾯对考⽣进⾏打分，4项⽐重也相当，所以要想取得优异成绩就不能“瘸腿”。
在三⼀⼝语考试中取得好成绩固然离不开实⼒，但了解三⼀出题形式并进⾏有针对性的联系也是很重要的。
备考的第⼀阶段关键在于熟练和⾃然，考⽣应尽量熟悉该阶段的话题，并能针对每个题⽬⾃然⽽流畅的进⾏回答。
回答时切记不要只回答yes或no，或者给出很简短的答案，⽽要主动地去提供附加信息，以表⽰⾃⼰愿意并且能够进⾏交流。

One of the most famous legends is that of Nian. It‟s an extremely cruel and ferocious monster/beast. Chinese believed that it ate people on New Year‟s Eve. To keep Nian away, people pasted red-paper in doors, lighted the touches, and set off firecrackers throughout the night. Because it is said that Nian feared the color red, the light of fire, and loud noises. Early the next morning, Nian was really kept away, so people gave each other the greetings of “Gongxi!”,or “Congratulations and prosperity! 恭喜发财”Lantern Festival：Lantern Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar year. Lantern Festival is one of the biggest holidays in China. Several days before Lantern Festival, people begin to make lanterns. Lanterns are made in the shape of different animals, vegetables, fruits and many other things. While making lanterns people usually write riddles on lanterns. On the eve of Lantern Festival, all the lanterns are hung up. On Lantern Festival people go outside to have a look at the lanterns and guess the riddles on the lanterns. Perhaps you can see some wonderful folk performances, Dragon Dance. Everything is very interesting and everyone is very happy. Our life is rich and varied.Halloween：On October 31st , children dressed in costumes to knock on their neighbors‟ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens. The meaning is: “Give me candy or I‟ll play a trick on you!”More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures, ghosts, witches, or monsters and go to the costume parties(化妆舞会).Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween.Santa Claus: He‟s a fat, bearded man who wears red and carries gifts in a sleigh drawn by eight flying reindeer throughout the world for all good boys and girls.There are so many festivals. One kind is traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, Moon Festival, and so on. The other kind is foreign festivals, for example, Christmas, Father‟s Day, Mother‟s Day, and many others. Among all these festivals, I like the Spring Festival best, because I can get new clothes, I can get a lot of red envelops with people, I can have time to play with my friends and relatives. And one more special thing for the Spring Festival is that we can set off the fireworks. It is very beautiful in the sky. I like it very muchNowadays, the foreign festivals are more and more popular in China. Some of them are even more popular than some traditional Chinese festivals. But I think we should pay much more attention to the traditional festivals. As I know, some of the young children even don‟t know there is a festival called the Lantern Festival. And many young people they want to catch the fashion and care too much about the fashionable foreign festivals. So I think if we don‟t want to lose our history, just draw much more attention to the traditional festivals.Festivals (4)。
