Make sure that you sit straight and don't put your hand anywhere near your face, even if you're nervous,
確保你的坐姿端正，不要把手放在靠近臉的任何位置，即使你很緊張也不要這么做，
because that will affect the quality of your voice and the way it's projected. Okay?
因為那會影響你聲音的質(zhì)量和發(fā)聲的方式。
Next, number five: speak clearly.
下一點，第五點：講話清晰。
Now, what I mean by this is: don't worry too much about your accent.
這么說的意思是：不要過于擔心你的口音。
Everyone has an accent, and as long as you do your best to enunciate the words clearly, that's all you can do.
每個人都有口音，只要你竭盡所能在講話的時候保持清晰就行了，你能做的也只有這一點。
If you need to improve your pronunciation, work on that before your exam.
如果你需要改善自己的發(fā)音，在參加考試之前解決它。
If there are some very specific pronunciation errors that you tend to make or that people from your country tend to make, then obviously, work on those beforehand.
如果你或者你國家的人經(jīng)常會犯一些特別具體的發(fā)音錯誤，那么你顯然要提前解決那些錯誤。
For example, if you are a Spanish speaker and you say: "Jess", instead of: "Yes",
舉個例子來說，如果你的母語是西班牙語，你作肯定回答時說"Jess"，而不是"Yes"，
then that's a big mistake that you want to correct well before you come to the exam.
那這就是你需要在參加考試之前就糾正好的一個大錯誤。
So, work on those pronunciation issues before, and then afterwards, don't worry about your accent, just speak as clearly as you can. Okay?
所以事先解決好這些發(fā)音問題，之后就不要再擔心你的口音了，只要盡可能保持講話清晰就行了。
Next: use descriptive words.
下一點：使用描述性詞匯。
By that, I mean, again, remember, we were supposed to show off, use the best English you have.
我的意思是，還是一樣別忘了，我們應該好好炫耀一番，使用自己掌握的最好的英語。
So, don't use boring words, don't use overly used words, like: "good", "bad", "okay", "nice".
所以不要用很單調(diào)的詞匯，不要使用被過度使用的單詞，比如"good", "bad", "okay", "nice"。
Use exciting words, use dynamic words to show that you have a rich vocabulary to express yourself in English.
使用能讓人興奮起來的詞匯，使用充滿活力的單詞來顯示你有豐富的詞匯量能夠很好地用英語表達自己。
Don't just say: "Good", say...or don't just say: "happy", say: "thrilled", don't just say: "sad", you can say: "depressed".
不要只說“Good”，不要只說“happy”，說“thrilled”，不要只說"sad", 你還可以說 "depressed"啊。
Use a more advanced word if you know it and if you're sure of the meaning.
如果你認識并確定它的意思，那就大可以使用更高級的單詞嘛。
But most of all, try to stay away from the overly used words like: "good", "bad", "okay", "nice". All right?
但是最重要的是盡量避免使用被過度使用的單詞，比如"good", "bad", "okay", "nice"，好嗎？
