天佑:凯琳,等一下就要考口试了,我的心跳得好快。

kǎi lín děng yí xià jiù yào kǎo kǒu shì le wǒ de xīn tiào de hǎo kuài

Tianyou: Kailin, the oral exam is about to start and my heart is beating so fast.

凯琳:别紧张,我也有一点怕。我们一起复习看图说话吧。

bié jǐn zhāng wǒ yě yǒu yì diǎn pà wǒ men yì qǐ fù xí kàn tú shuō huà ba

Kailin: Don't be nervous, I'm a little scared too. Let's go over the picture conversation together.

天佑:我最怕看图说话。看到图片的时候,我常常不知道要从哪里说起。

wǒ zuì pà kàn tú shuō huà kàn dào tú piàn de shí hou wǒ cháng cháng bù zhī dào yào cóng nǎ lǐ shuō qǐ

Tianyou: The picture conversation scares me most. When I see the picture, I often don't know where to begin.

凯琳:许老师教过我们,可以先说图里有谁、在哪里、在做什么。

xǔ lǎo shī jiāo guo wǒ men kě yǐ xiān shuō tú lǐ yǒu shéi zài nǎ lǐ zài zuò shén me

Kailin: Ms Xu taught us: first say who is in the picture, where they are and what they are doing.

许老师:凯琳说得对。然后再说说你的想法,或者你自己有没有遇到过这样的事。

kǎi lín shuō de duì rán hòu zài shuō shuo nǐ de xiǎng fǎ huò zhě nǐ zì jǐ yǒu méi yǒu yù dào guo zhè yàng de shì

Ms Xu, the Chinese teacher: Kailin is right. Then give your own ideas, or say whether something like this has happened to you.

天佑:许老师,如果我说到一半忘了,怎么办?

xǔ lǎo shī rú guǒ wǒ shuō dào yí bàn wàng le zěn me bàn

Tianyou: Ms Xu, what if I forget halfway through?

许老师:没关系,可以停一下,想一想再说。说慢一点,声音大一点,老师才听得清楚。

méi guān xi kě yǐ tíng yí xià xiǎng yi xiǎng zài shuō shuō màn yì diǎn shēng yīn dà yì diǎn lǎo shī cái tīng de qīng chu

Ms Xu, the Chinese teacher: That's all right. You can pause, think, then carry on. Speak a bit slower and a bit louder so the examiner can hear you clearly.

天佑:好,我会记住的。凯琳,祝你考得好!

hǎo wǒ huì jì zhù de kǎi lín zhù nǐ kǎo de hǎo

Tianyou: OK, I'll remember. Kailin, good luck in your exam!

凯琳:天佑,你考完了!看图说话的部分怎么样?

tiān yòu nǐ kǎo wán le kàn tú shuō huà de bù fen zěn me yàng

Kailin: Tianyou, you've finished! How did the picture conversation go?

天佑:中间我忘了一句,可是我停下来想了想,后来说得很顺利。我觉得很骄傲!

zhōng jiān wǒ wàng le yí jù kě shì wǒ tíng xià lai xiǎng le xiǎng hòu lái shuō de hěn shùn lì wǒ jué de hěn jiāo ào

Tianyou: I forgot a sentence in the middle, but I stopped and thought, and after that it went smoothly. I feel really proud!
