Buna seara,

Pentru a incepe pregatirea pentru examenul de bac asa cum trebuie, va propun sa incepem cu partea de Speaking, cea mai scurta ca interval de desfasurare (10- 15 min). Nu se stie exact cum se va derula, dar va fi in mod cert cu profesorul/ profesoara de la clasa plus un alt membru, avand ca specialitate tot limba engleza, veti intra in sala, probabil se va alege un bilet pe care se va afla o intrebare si apoi veti merge in banca, veti avea un timp de gandire ( cred ca nu mai mult de 5 min), dupa care veti purta discutia cu cei din comisie, fara a citi prea mult de pe foaie.

Avand in minte modelul preluat, adica testul Cambridge, este posibil si sa mergeti direct la comisie, care va va adresa o intrebare, la care trebuie sa raspundeti si sa va argumentati raspunsul timp de 5-10 min. Deocamdata liniste de la Ministerul Educatiei, deci ceea ce am descris eu acum se pot dovedi a fi simple speculatii.

Oricum, trebuie sa fiti pregatiti for the unknown, asa ca va prezint cateva tips and tricks pentru proba de Speaking in cele ce urmeaza:

-orice intrebare veti primi, incepeti prin a saluta comisia si a va prezenta: Good morning/ Good afternoon! My name is and I am very interested in studying English or I am very fond of English! ( asta ca prima impresie si poate sa fie de mare ajutor daca nu stapaniti limba engleza foarte bine la nivel conversational).

-sa aveti mereu in minte raspunsul la intrebare, care trebuie sa constituie punctul de plecare;

Sa luam ca exemplu intrebarea :

What kind of work would you like to do in the future?,

reflectati intai asupra raspunsului pe care doriti sa il dati si apoi stabiliti 2-3 argumente care sa sustina raspunsul; raspunsul este cel care trebuie sa va ghideze in alegerea celor mai bune argumente;folositi cuvinte simple, de al caror sens sunt siguri spre a evita surprizele neplacute- nu este necesar sa impresionati comisia cu folosirea unor termeni academici, ci sa dovediti ca stapaniti limba engleza la nivel conversational, intelegeti o intrebare care va este adresata si aveti capacitatea de a raspunde la aceasta, construind un dialog cu replici simple, clare si la obiect;utilizati in argumentare conectori, precum ati folosit si in argumentarea orala de la limba romana, precum: in the first place, in the second/ in the third place, first of all, at first, until, just then, later, finally, the last but not the least important argument sau alte expresii asemanatoare;de asemenea, folositi in argumentare si expresii ca: in my opinion, as far as I am concerned ( in ceea ce ma priveste), from my point of view si verbe de opinie de tipul: believe, think, consider, etc.apelati la experiente personale si la exemple semnificative din romane, filme sau alte surse relevante pentru intrebarea voastra; INSA NU INCERCATI SA VA ABATETI DE LA INTREBAREA PE CARE O AVETI, divagand de la subiectul de discutie propus;incheiati raspunsul cu o concluzie care sa reia raspunsul intial, utilizand: as a conslusion, therefore, taking into consideration the above reasonsDe pilda, la intrebarea de mai sus avem raspunsul: A-I consider that I would like to work as a doctor in the future, after I graduate from the university.

B-Why would you choose such a job?

A-In the first place, I would choose this job because it is a very useful one, that brings a lot of benefits to the community and also to the persons I care about. Being a doctor, for instance a surgeon, I would have the possibility to cure diseases, to relief pain and to prescribe medicines that would definitely help sick people.

A-Secondly, I have had this dream of curing sick people since kindergarden, when I was trying to be a good doctor for my dolls. One of my biggest dreams is to discover an antidote for cancer or for aids, as they are among the deadly diseases of our century.

B-The work of a doctor is really a noble one. Would you consider going to the Faculty of Medicine?

A-Yes, indeed, I aim at entering the Faculty of Medicine. I am good at Physics and Chemistry, I will prepare myself very well after the bacallaureate exam and I think I have a great chance to succeed. I am also a fan of the Dr. House series in which the main character is a skilled doctor, but also a modern one as he uses several methods of alternative medicine.

A-As a conclusion I admit that my future work will be that of a doctor. Thank you very much for your time and have a good day! (these words are addressed to the examiners).

Ceea ce am realizat eu mai sus reprezinta un posibil scenariu la proba de Speaking a bacalaureatului 2010, proba orala de Limba engleza. Ca legenda, avem A si B, unde A= elev, iar B= examinator/ examinatori ( your English teacher/s). Sper ca va este de folos!

This is only the beginning, there is yet to come! Nu trebuie sa aveti emotii, respirati adanc si fiti voi insiva in fata comisiei; pana la urma este doar o discutie- a friendly chat!

Tell me a little about yourself."Tell me a little about yourself."
