对于备战DSE的同学来说，口语考试一直是重点攻克的板块。DSE口语考试分为Group Discussion（小组讨论）和Individual Response（个人回应）两大核心部分，考试场景通常围绕校园生活、社会热点、文化现象等贴近生活的主题展开，题目会明确给出讨论/回应的核心要求与方向。考试时间方面，小组讨论约8-10分钟，个人回应结合准备时间共约3-4分钟，整体注重考察考生的即时表达与互动沟通能力。
    那么，DSE口语考试主要考察同学们哪些核心能力呢？结合考评局官方评分标准，该题型的核心考察维度主要包括以下几点：

    Communicative Effectiveness (沟通有效性)
    Coherence and Cohesion (连贯性与衔接性)
    Lexical Resource (词汇运用能力)
    Grammatical Range and Accuracy (语法多样性与准确性)
    Pronunciation and Intonation (发音与语调)

    简单总结就是：能清晰传达观点、表达连贯流畅、词汇语法准确多样、发音语调自然这五大评分核心。下面结合一道典型真题，为大家拆解如何针对性运用技巧，拿下高分。

    真题示例（Group Discussion）

    Your group is discussing how to encourage secondary school students to read more. Discuss the following suggestions and come up with a final plan: 1. Setting up a book club in school; 2. Inviting authors to give talks; 3. Organizing inter-class reading competitions. You need to: 1. Share your opinions on each suggestion; 2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each; 3. Reach a consensus on the best plan.
    在拿到口语题目后，第一个需要注意的点是快速明确任务核心与角色定位——小组讨论不是个人独白，而是需要主动互动、倾听他人、推进讨论的协作过程，这正是评分标准中“沟通有效性”的核心要求。很多同学容易陷入“只顾自己说”的误区，忽略了回应他人观点、引导讨论节奏的重要性，这往往会拉低整体分数。

    如何体现互动性？大家可以记住这些实用的衔接与回应句式，快速建立沟通感：
    表示赞同：I totally agree with your point about... Because...；I think what you said makes sense, especially the part about...
    表示补充：In addition to what you mentioned, I also think that...；Another advantage of this suggestion is that...
    表示不同意见（委婉）：I see your point, but maybe we can consider another angle...；I partly agree with you, but I have a small doubt about...
    引导讨论：Shall we move on to discuss the next suggestion；What do you think about the third option Is it more feasible than the first two

    这些句式既能帮助大家自然衔接讨论流程，又能清晰体现互动意识，符合DSE口语“沟通优先”的评分逻辑。在明确互动核心后，我们就可以围绕题目给出的三点要求，逐一展开讨论。这里要注意，小组讨论不需要追求“完美观点”，但需要保证每个观点都有细节支撑——这是避免表达空洞、提升“连贯性与衔接性”的关键技巧。
    很多同学在考场上会出现“观点说一句就卡壳”的情况，其实核心问题是没有掌握“观点+细节”的拓展方法。
    以真题中“Setting up a book club”这一建议为例，只说“I think setting up a book club is good”显然不够具体，我们可以结合“学生需求”“实际操作”补充细节：

    “I think setting up a book club is a good suggestion. Because many students feel lonely when reading alone, and a book club can provide a platform for them to share their feelings about the books. For example, the club can set a monthly reading theme, like young adult novels or history books, and organize a small discussion every Friday after school. This way, students will be more motivated to read, and they can also learn different perspectives from their classmates.”

    这里的技巧的是：用“Because”解释原因，用“For example”补充具体场景。无论是个人回应还是小组讨论，只要按照“观点-原因-具体例子”的逻辑展开，就能轻松拓展内容，同时保证表达的连贯性。

    另外，针对“词汇与语法”维度，大家不需要刻意使用生僻词汇，重点在于“准确与多样”。比如表达“鼓励”，除了“encourage”，还可以根据语境使用“motivate”“inspire”；表达“重要”，可以用“important”“vital”“crucial”等。语法方面，适当交替使用简单句与复合句（如定语从句、状语从句），就能体现语法多样性，比如将简单句“I think this suggestion is good. It can help students read more.”优化为“I think this suggestion is good because it can help students develop a better reading habit.”
