ГОВОРЕНИЕ
Некоторые рекомендации по подготовке к устному экзамену
Запомните, что незнакомый педагог, сидящий напротив вас, – не враг, он готов вам помочь. Не молчите. На всю устную часть даётся 15 минут. Молчишь – получай 0 баллов. Будьте смелее. В диалоге задавайте разнообразные вопросы. Если конструкции будут однотипными – отметка снижается. Не бойтесь переспросить, если вопрос преподавателя поставил вас в тупик.
Не надейтесь на «авось»! К экзамену нужно готовиться. Некоторые идут на экзамен, руководствуясь принципом «Чего-нибудь наболтаю». Не выйдет!
