1.2　 How is your score decided
你的分数是怎么给出的

Your score is based on four main criteria. Fluency and coherence, Lexical resource and accuracy (Words and phrases), Grammatical range and accuracy and Pronunciation

你的得分基于四个主要标准：流利度和连贯性，词汇资源和准确度(单词和短语)，语法范围和准确度以及发音。

Fluency and coherence
流利度和连贯性

This means that not only are you able to keep going at a reasonable speed (neither too fast nor too slow) but that you answer the questions directly without going off-topic too often.

这意味着你不仅可以保持一个合理的速度(既不太快也不太慢)，而且你的回答切题，没有经常偏离主题。

Lexical resource and accuracy (Words and phrases)
词汇资源和准确度(词汇和短语)

You should be able to use a wide range of words and phrases, and also use them accurately and precisely to answer the questions. Your vocabulary should be formal when necessary. You are taking a test of academic English, so you should try to speak in a way that is acceptable in an academic context.

你应该能够使用丰富的词汇和短语，准确地回答问题，必要时应该使用正式词汇。你正在参加的是学术英语考试，所以你应该试着用一种在学术语境中大多数时候都可以接受的方式说话。不要说得太随便。

Grammatical range and accuracy
语法范围和准确度

You should try to answer the questions at reasonable length, so that you use complex sentences with a range of grammatical forms. For example, past, present and future tenses; continuous, passive and conditional sentence structures.

你应该试着以合理的句子长度来回答问题，这样你就能够用上各种语法形式的复合句。例如，过去、现在和将来时态; 进行时态、被动语态以及条件从句。

Pronunciation
发音

It is completely acceptable to have an accent. Speaking clearly, especially when using challenging words or phrases, is the most important factor for pronunciation. If you can’t find a native speaker to help you, record your speech and listen to yourself speaking. If you want to score 6 or higher, you need to use word linking, elision, assimilation, and stress.

发音有口音的话是完全可以接受的，尤其是在使用比较难的单词或短语时，发音清晰是最关键的一个因素。如果你找不到母语是英语的人来帮助你，可以将自己的话录下来，自己听一下。如果想获得6分或以上，你需要会单词连续、省略、同化和重读。
