为什么考生在雅思口语考场上会紧张？

　　Of course, if the student is very much aware that he did not prepare himself for the exam, he knows that he is guilty and should not expect to pass the exam much more to get a high rating from it. He knows that he does not deserve it at all. But because he needs to take the exam and to pass it too, being unprepared would certainly make anyone nervous. Since it would be a one on one exam, it means the student would be alone. He would not be able to rely on others for the answers because the examiner would be asking him the test questions and nobody would be there to help him with the answers.

　　Another reason to feel anxious is that the examinee would never know beforehand what questions would be thrown at him by the examiner. What if the topic would be about something that he would not be knowledgeable about? Of course our aim in the oral test is to answer the questions as intelligently as possible and the lack of knowledge about the questions being asked would surely make the aim to be impossible. The examiner would surely be able to detect whether the examinee is truly knowledgeable about the topic or is just making a wild guess on the answers.

　　Some people would prepare themselves for the oral test by standing in front of the mirror while talking and making eye contact with their own reflection in the mirror. This way, they would be able to observe how they are doing and what needs to be enhanced or corrected. They would practice and practice until they are confident that they are now ready for the oral exam. Of course, even if we have practiced and prepared a lot, the nervous feeling would not totally disappear but it would be minimized because we know that we tried our best to prepare for the exam. On the other hand, if we did not even prepare or practice and we know our limitations, then the nervous feeling would be overwhelming. Athletes train hard before they are confident to compete in the games. Church choirs, glee clubs, school dramas, dancers, etc. Need to practice first before they do their performance. Not a single individual in any of these organizations would be confident to perform without first practicing.
