复试来临，考生又进入了积极地备战状态。与初试不同，复试不是绝对的客观性考试，，而是一种面对面的交流。如此一来，一些细节性的东西就凸现出来了，在我们英语口试过程当中更是如此，我们应该予以高度的重视，提前做好准备，这样我们方能够知己知彼百战不殆。
一、复试中的口试要求
1、评价标准：
(1)语言准确性(语法和用词的准确性、语法结构的复杂性、词汇的丰富程度、发音的准确性)
(2)话语的长短和连贯性(内容的连贯性、寻找合适词语而造成的停顿频率及长短、表达思想的语言长短等)
(3)语言的灵活性和适合性(语言表达是否灵活、自然，话语是否得体，语言能否与语境、动能和目的相适应)
2、口语测试一般包含如下两部分：
第一部分：考查学生理解并回答有关日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力(3--5分钟)
第二部分：考查学生连续表达的能力。考生从所给的问题中选择一个话题，就此话题表达自己的看法(7--10分钟)。
3、评价成绩一般为：
a优秀--能用外语就指定的话题进行口头交流，基本没有困难
b良好--能用外语就指定的题材进行口头交流，虽有些困难，但不影响交流
c及格--能用外语就指定的话题进行简单的口头交流
d不及格--不具有口头表达能力

三、提前准备，适当练习
1、见面问候语：Good morning / afternoon, dear professors. I am XXX. (Nice to meet you。)。告别用语：Thanks for your time. / Thank you for giving such a chance. I hope to see you again and soon。
2、 自我介绍篇(重点)。基本上每个院校每个专业的口试中都会涉及这一方面。考官其实是要借此了解你的口头表达能力以及你的报名表之外的一些信息。自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为宜。思路要清楚，要突出重点，口语尽量流利。
1) 自我介绍的主体内容
① 姓名。介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。
② 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。
③ 原来的院校、专业。注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚(尤其是跨校、跨专业的学生)。
所属的公司、职位。注意：在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。
④ 性格、能力，爱好等。可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何积极的作用。如果报考的是学术性的专业，可以说自己细心(carefully，detail-oriented)、条理分明(logical)、踏实(steady)等;如果是研究性、应用性更强一点的专业，可以说自己负责(responsible)、可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。
⑤你对报考的专业有兴趣(be interested in/be fascinated with/be obsessed with…)，可适当举出一些例子，如经常看相关的书籍、论文、文章、新闻等。在职考生可以强调知识教育对工作的影响： In my work, I find it necessary to broaden my horizons in communication. That’s why I long for entering your prestigious university.
结束时可以用说：That’s all about me. / Well, that’s who I am. Thanks for your attention.
3、未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向)，人生规划(短期、长期)
4、跨专业问题——老师通常会对跨专业的学生问这样一个问题：为什么会选择这个专业?不要前篇一律地回答只说“我对这个专业感兴趣”，可以把每个人都会谈到的原因简要地罗列一下，对具有自己特色的原因则可大谈特谈，详细地阐述自己的观点，让老师印象深刻。
5、专业知识——在英语口试中(非英语专业)，如果老师提问专业问题，通常不会指望你能进行流利的、专业性强的阐述;但是一些专业术语的英文说法还是有必要了解一下的。
6、提出问题——在面试快结束的时候，一般老师都会问，你有没有什么要问的(Do you have any questions to ask?)。一般不适合说“I don’t have any question。”可以问考官一两个你关心的问题。
