考生在本項考試中必須做到：

1.仔細閱讀本項考試文字材料，明確所要達到的目的。(討論什麼;決定什麼)

2.在討論的開頭迅速對所討論的話題的背景進行簡單介紹。

實用技巧：將文字材料中的字句進行簡化並表達出來。(見範例)

3.兩名考生討論和解決的問題進行。

實用步驟1：一問一答式的討論(範例1)

A提問(一句話)——B回答(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話)，A附和(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話)——一B提問(一句話)——A回答(一句話),闡述理由(兩句話)，B附和(一句話)，闡述理由(兩句話).——A或B定下決定(一句話)——B或A支持決定(一句話)。

這種方法思路清晰明確，但切忌回答過於簡單。

實用步驟2：各自闡述觀點的討論(範例2)

A闡述觀點(一句話)和理由(兩句話)——B對A的觀點表態(一句話)，闡述自己的觀點並闡述理由(兩句話)——雙方討論，深入闡述本人觀點(A，B各兩句話)——定下決定(A，B各一句話)。

這種方法適合對問題的辯論。但考生需注意彼此的交流。

實用技巧：

A.提問者將文字材料中規定討論的部分(通常特殊疑問句)改爲一般疑問句並進行表述。

B.使用第一人稱I或We進行表述，自然進入虛擬的工作環境中。

C.使用工作場合中常用的套話使得交流更加自然。例如：Shall we get down to our business?

D.在討論中表達同意時所用的句型：I think so. / You are right. /That’s quite true. /Definitely. /I have the same view. /I share your concern. /That’s a good point. / No doubt about it.

E. 在討論中表達不同意時所用的句型：That’s true but…. Yes I know but…. I understand but…. I don’t think that I agree with you. I don’t think so. I can’t agree with you. I have some difficulty with your view.
