七年级 WJEC 德语考试将考查你理解德语口语和进行简单对话的能力。本指南将帮助你有效准备口语和听力部分。你将学会核心词汇、关键短语和考试策略，以增强信心并取得高分。
1. Understanding the Exam Format | 了解考试形式
The WJEC Year 7 German exam typically includes a listening section where you hear recordings and answer questions, and a speaking section where you respond to prompts or have a short conversation. The listening may involve multiple choice, gap-fill, or matching exercises. The oral test might be a role-play, a short presentation, or answering questions about yourself. Understanding the structure helps you focus your revision.
WJEC 七年级德语考试通常包括听力部分（听录音并回答问题）和口语部分（回应提示或进行简短对话）。听力可能涉及选择题、填空题或连线题。口语考试可能是角色扮演、简短展示或回答关于自己的问题。了解考试结构有助于你集中复习。
The listening section usually lasts around 20–30 minutes. You will hear short dialogues, announcements, or descriptions, each played twice. Questions test your understanding of key details such as names, numbers, times, and opinions. Be ready to pick out specific words rather than trying to understand every single word.
听力部分通常持续20到30分钟。你会听到短对话、通知或描述，每段播放两遍。问题考查你对关键细节的理解，如名字、数字、时间以及观点。你要准备好抓住关键词，而不是试图听懂每一个词。
For the speaking exam, you might be asked to talk about a familiar topic for one to two minutes, or to take part in a simple role-play. The examiner will assess your pronunciation, fluency, and ability to communicate. You can score higher by using full sentences and a range of vocabulary, even if you make small mistakes.
口语考试中，你可能需要就熟悉的话题说一到两分钟，或参与简单角色扮演。考官会评估你的发音、流利度和沟通能力。即使有小错误，使用完整句子和多样词汇也能让你得更高分。
2. Key Vocabulary for Speaking & Listening | 口语与听力的核心词汇
Building a solid vocabulary base is essential for both parts of the exam. The following table lists high-frequency words and phrases organised by topic. Practise spelling and saying them aloud, as you will need to recognise them in the listening and produce them in the speaking.
为考试的听说两部分打下坚实的词汇基础至关重要。下表按主题列出了高频词和短语。练习拼写并大声朗读，因为你在听力中需要识别它们，在口语中需要说出它们。
| English | German | 中文 |
|---|---|---|
| Hello / Good day | Hallo / Guten Tag | 你好 / 您好 |
| Goodbye | Auf Wiedersehen | 再见 |
| Yes / No | Ja / Nein | 是 / 否 |
| Please / Thank you | Bitte / Danke | 请 / 谢谢 |
| My name is … | Ich heisse … | 我叫 … |
| I am … years old | Ich bin … Jahre alt | 我 … 岁了 |
| I live in … | Ich wohne in … | 我住在 … |
| I like / I don’t like | Ich mag / Ich mag … nicht | 我喜欢 / 我不喜欢 |
| What is that? | Was ist das? | 那是什么？ |
| Can you repeat that? | Können Sie das bitte wiederholen? | 请您重复一遍？ |
Focus on the pronunciation of special characters: the ‘ß’ (sharp s) sounds like ‘ss’, and vowels with umlauts (ä, ö, ü) change the sound. For example, ‘schön’ (beautiful) has an ‘ö’ similar to the ‘u’ in ‘burn’. Practice these sounds daily.
注意特殊字符的发音：’ß’（尖s）发音像 ‘ss’，带有变音的元音（ä, ö, ü）会改变发音。例如，’schön’（美丽）中的 ‘ö’ 类似英语 ‘burn’ 中的 ‘u’。每天练习这些发音。
3. Introducing Yourself | 自我介绍
In the oral exam, you will almost certainly need to introduce yourself. Learn to say your name, age, where you live, and your nationality. Use a model like this: ‘Guten Tag! Ich heisse Lisa. Ich bin zwölf Jahre alt. Ich wohne in Manchester. Ich komme aus England.’ Practise until it sounds natural, not robotic.
口语考试中，你几乎肯定需要自我介绍。学会说你的名字、年龄、住址和国籍。使用这样的模板：’Guten Tag! Ich heisse Lisa. Ich bin zwölf Jahre alt. Ich wohne in Manchester. Ich komme aus England.’ 练习直到听起来自然，而非机械。
Also prepare to answer follow-up questions. The examiner might ask ‘Wie geht es dir?’ (How are you?). You can reply ‘Mir geht es gut, danke’ (I am fine, thanks) or ‘Es geht so’ (So-so). Having a few ready-made responses will help you stay calm.
同时准备好回答后续提问。考官可能会问 ‘Wie geht es dir?’（你好吗？）。你可以回答 ‘Mir geht es gut, danke’（我很好，谢谢）或 ‘Es geht so’（马马虎虎）。提前准备一些现成的回答能帮你保持镇定。
When asking questions back, remember the word order changes: ‘Wie heisst du?’ (What’s your name?) and ‘Wo wohnst du?’ (Where do you live?). Practice intonation so that questions sound different from statements.
反问时，记住词序会变化：’Wie heisst du?’（你叫什么名字？）和 ‘Wo wohnst du?’（你住在哪里？）。练习语调，让问句听起来与陈述句不同。
4. Talking About Your Family | 谈论你的家庭
Family is a common topic in Year 7 German. You need to name family members and give basic details. Key words: die Mutter (mother), der Vater (father), der Bruder (brother), die Schwester (sister), der Opa (granddad), die Oma (granny). Remember that German nouns have genders: der (masculine), die (feminine), das (neuter).
家庭是七年级德语的常见话题。你需要说出家庭成员的名称和基本信息。关键词：die Mutter（母亲），der Vater（父亲），der Bruder（兄弟），die Schwester（姐妹），der Opa（爷爷），die Oma（奶奶）。记住德语名词有性：der（阳性），die（阴性），das（中性）。
When describing your family, you can say: ‘Ich habe einen Bruder. Er heisst Tom und ist zehn Jahre alt.’ (I have a brother. His name is Tom and he is ten years old.) Notice that ‘einen’ is the accusative form used after ‘haben’. Try to include adjectives: ‘Meine Mutter ist nett.’ (My mother is kind.)
描述你的家庭时，可以说：’Ich habe einen Bruder. Er heisst Tom und ist zehn Jahre alt.’（我有一个哥哥。他叫汤姆，十岁了。）注意 ‘einen’ 是在 ‘haben’ 后使用的宾格形式。试着加入形容词：’Meine Mutter ist nett.’（我的妈妈很和善。）
For the listening exam, you might hear a person talking about their family. Practise picking out numbers, names, and adjectives like ‘alt’ (old), ‘jung’ (young), ‘gross’ (big), ‘klein’ (small). Be careful: ‘die Geschwister’ means siblings, not just brother or sister.
在听力考试中，你可能会听到某人谈论家庭。练习抓住数字、名字以及形容词，如 ‘alt’（老）、’jung’（年轻）、’gross’（大）、’klein’（小）。注意：’die Geschwister’ 指兄弟姐妹，不是单指兄弟或姐妹。
5. School Life in German | 用德语谈论学校生活
School vocabulary frequently appears in both parts of the assessment. Learn the names of subjects: Mathe (maths), Englisch (English), Geschichte (history), Erdkunde (geography), Sport (PE), Kunst (art), Musik (music). Days of the week are also essential: Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag, Sonntag.
学校词汇在考试的两部分都经常出现。要学习科目名称：Mathe（数学），Englisch（英语），Geschichte（历史），Erdkunde（地理），Sport（体育），Kunst（美术），Musik（音乐）。星期几也同样重要：Montag（星期一），Dienstag（星期二），Mittwoch（星期三），Donnerstag（星期四），Freitag（星期五），Samstag（星期六），Sonntag（星期日）。
To talk about your timetable, use ‘Am Montag habe ich Mathe und Englisch.’ (On Monday I have maths and English.) Express opinions with ‘Ich finde Mathe interessant, aber Geschichte langweilig.’ (I find maths interesting, but history boring.) This shows you can use linking words.
谈论你的课程表时，用 ‘Am Montag habe ich Mathe und Englisch.’（星期一我有数学和英语。）用 ‘Ich finde Mathe interessant, aber Geschichte langweilig.’（我觉得数学有趣，但历史无聊。）来表达观点。这显示你能使用连接词。
For the listening, listen for times: ‘um neun Uhr’ (at nine o’clock), ‘von acht bis zehn’ (from eight to ten). You might hear a school description and be asked to identify the correct timetable or favourite subject.
在听力中，留意时间表达：’um neun Uhr’（在九点），’von acht bis zehn’（从八点到十点）。你可能会听到一段学校描述，然后被要求选出正确的课程表或最喜欢的科目。
6. Hobbies and Free Time | 爱好与空闲时间
Hobbies are a great way to show off your vocabulary. Use ‘In meiner Freizeit …’ (In my free time …) followed by an activity: ‘spiele ich Fussball’ (I play football), ‘höre ich Musik’ (I listen to music), ‘lese ich Bücher’ (I read books), ‘sehe ich fern’ (I watch TV). Notice the verb comes second in the main clause.
爱好是展示词汇量的好方式。用 ‘In meiner Freizeit …’（在我的空闲时间……）后接活动：’spiele ich Fussball’（我踢足球），’höre ich Musik’（我听音乐），’lese ich Bücher’（我读书），’sehe ich fern’（我看电视）。注意在主动句中动词居第二位。
You can also say how often you do something: ‘jeden Tag’ (every day), ‘einmal pro Woche’ (once a week), ‘manchmal’ (sometimes). For example: ‘Ich spiele jeden Tag Klavier.’ (I play the piano every day.) Expressing frequency adds detail and makes your speech more natural.
你还可以说明做事频率：’jeden Tag’（每天），’einmal pro Woche’（每周一次），’manchmal’（有时）。例如：’Ich spiele jeden Tag Klavier.’（我每天都弹钢琴。）表达频率能增加细节，使你的表达更自然。
During the listening test, you might hear two people arranging to do a hobby together. Focus on the activity words and time references. Questions often ask what the speaker likes doing and when.
在听力测试中，你可能会听到两个人约定一起做某项爱好。重点关注活动词汇和时间提示。问题常询问说话者喜欢做什么以及何时做。
7. Describing Your Daily Routine | 描述你的日常生活
Being able to describe your daily routine shows you can handle sequences and time. Key verbs: ‘aufstehen’ (to get up), ‘frühstücken’ (to have breakfast), ‘zur Schule gehen’ (to go to school), ‘nach Hause kommen’ (to come home), ‘schlafen gehen’ (to go to bed). Start with ‘Um … Uhr stehe ich auf.’ (At … o’clock I get up.)
能够描述自己的一天表明你能处理顺序和时间。关键动词：’aufstehen’（起床），’frühstücken’（吃早餐），’zur Schule gehen’（去上学），’nach Hause kommen’（回家），’schlafen gehen’（睡觉）。用 ‘Um … Uhr stehe ich auf.’（在……点我起床）开头。
Don’t forget to use ‘morgens’ (in the morning), ‘nachmittags’ (in the afternoon), ‘abends’ (in the evening). Connect sentences with ‘dann’ (then) and ‘danach’ (after that). A typical answer: ‘Morgens frühstücke ich um halb acht. Dann gehe ich um acht Uhr zur Schule.’ (In the morning I have breakfast at half past seven. Then I go to school at eight.)
别忘记使用 ‘morgens’（早上），’nachmittags’（下午），’abends’（晚上）。用 ‘dann’（然后）和 ‘danach’（之后）来连接句子。一个典型的回答：’Morgens frühstücke ich um halb acht. Dann gehe ich um acht Uhr zur Schule.’（早上七点半我吃早餐。然后八点我去上学。）
In the listening, you might match pictures to parts of a routine. Pay attention to times and verbs. The audio might say ‘Ich ziehe mich an’ (I get dressed) and you need to recognise the activity without seeing the written word.
在听力中，你可能需要将图片与日常活动的环节进行匹配。注意时间和动词。录音可能会说 ‘Ich ziehe mich an’（我穿衣服），你需要在不看文字的情况下识别该活动。
8. Useful Phrases for Speaking Exams | 口语考试常用短语
Having a toolkit of survival phrases can save you if you get stuck. If you don’t understand, say ‘Könnten Sie das bitte wiederholen?’ (Could you repeat that, please?) or ‘Ich verstehe nicht’ (I don’t understand). If you need time to think, use ‘Moment mal’ (One moment) or ‘Lass mich überlegen’ (Let me think).
准备一套救场短语工具箱，能在卡壳时救急。如果没听懂，就说 ‘Könnten Sie das bitte wiederholen?’（请您重复一遍好吗？）或 ‘Ich verstehe nicht’（我不明白）。如果需要时间思考，用 ‘Moment mal’（等一下）或 ‘Lass mich überlegen’（让我想想）。
To sound more natural, use fillers like ‘also’ (so), ‘na ja’ (well), ‘eigentlich’ (actually). You can also ask for clarification: ‘Wie sagt man … auf Deutsch?’ (How do you say … in German?). This shows the examiner you are actively trying to communicate.
为了让表达更自然，使用 ‘also’（那么），’na ja’（嗯），’eigentlich’（实际上）这样的填充词。你也可以请求说明：’Wie sagt man … auf Deutsch?’（……用德语怎么说？）这向考官展示你在积极尝试沟通。
Practise these phrases so they become automatic. In a role-play, you might use ‘Was kostet das?’ (How much is that?) or ‘Ich möchte …’ (I would like …). These simple sentences can handle many practical situations.
练习这些短语，使它们变得不假思索。在角色扮演中，你可能会用到 ‘Was kostet das?’（这个多少钱？）或 ‘Ich möchte …’（我想要……）。这些简单的句子可以应对许多实际情景。
9. Tips for Listening Comprehension | 听力理解技巧
Before the recording starts, always read the questions and underline key words in English. This primes your brain to listen for the German equivalents. If the question asks ‘What is Maria’s favourite sport?’, you will be listening for ‘Lieblingssport’ or specific sport names.
在录音开始前，一定要先读题，并在英文关键词下划线。这能让大脑做好准备，去听对应的德语。如果题目问 ‘What is Maria’s favourite sport?’，你就会去留意 ‘Lieblingssport’ 或具体的运动名称。
Don’t panic if you miss an answer. The recording is played twice. Use the first listening to get the gist and answer easy questions, and the second to fill gaps and check your answers. Focus on the tone of voice too: a positive tone often means ‘ja’ or ‘gut’, while a negative tone could indicate ‘nicht’ or ‘schlecht’.
如果错过某个答案，不要慌张。录音会播放两遍。第一遍用来掌握大意并回答简单问题，第二遍用来补全并检查答案。同时注意语调：积极的语调常表示 ‘ja’ 或 ‘gut’，消极的语调则可能表示 ‘nicht’ 或 ‘schlecht’。
Watch out for distractors. Sometimes the speaker mentions an item and then corrects it, e.g. ‘Ich mag Mathe… nein, eigentlich Englisch.’ (I like maths… no, actually English.) The correct answer is usually the final statement. Practise with past papers to build this awareness.
小心干扰项。有时说话者会提到一个项目然后更正，如 ‘Ich mag Mathe… nein, eigentlich Englisch.’（我喜欢数学……不，其实是英语。）正确答案往往是最后那句话。通过练习往年试题来培养这种意识。
10. Practice Dialogues & Common Questions | 练习对话与常见问题
Role-playing typical exam scenarios will boost your confidence. Here is a sample dialogue about hobbies. A (Examiner): ‘Was machst du in deiner Freizeit?’ B (You): ‘Ich spiele Gitarre und treffe meine Freunde.’ A: ‘Wie oft spielst du Gitarre?’ B: ‘Dreimal pro Woche.’
演练典型的考试场景能增强你的信心。下面是一段关于爱好的示范对话。A（考官）：‘你空闲时间做什么？’ B（你）：‘我弹吉他，还和朋友见面。’ A：‘你多久弹一次吉他？’ B：‘每周三次。’
Prepare answers for these common questions: ‘Wie heisst du?’ (What’s your name?), ‘Wie alt bist du?’ (How old are you?), ‘Wo wohnst du?’ (Where do you live?), ‘Hast du Geschwister?’ (Do you have siblings?), ‘Was ist dein Lieblingsfach?’ (What is your favourite subject?), ‘Was isst du gern?’ (What do you like to eat?). Write out your answers and practise saying them aloud without reading.
为以下常见问题准备好答案：’Wie heisst du?’（你叫什么名字？），’Wie alt bist du?’（你多大了？），’Wo wohnst du?’（你住在哪里？），’Hast du Geschwister?’（你有兄弟姐妹吗？），’Was ist dein Lieblingsfach?’（你最喜欢的科目是什么？），’Was isst du gern?’（你喜欢吃什么？）。写下你的回答，然后练习不看书大声说出来。
Record yourself on a phone or tablet and listen back. You will notice hesitations and pronunciation slips. Work on smoothing them out. Even a few minutes of self-recording each day makes a big difference.
用手机或平板录下自己的声音，然后回听。你会注意到犹豫不决和发音错误。努力让它们变流畅。每天哪怕只录几分钟，也会带来很大改变。
11. Pronunciation & Intonation | 发音与语调
Clear pronunciation is among the assessment criteria for the speaking test. Focus on German vowel sounds that don’t exist in English. The ‘ü’ sound: round your lips as if to say ‘oo’ but try to say ‘ee’. For ‘ö’, shape lips for ‘o’ and say ‘e’. The ‘ch’ in ‘ich’ is a soft hiss made by raising the middle of the tongue to the roof of the mouth, not like the ‘ch’ in ‘Loch’.
清晰的发音是口语考试的评分标准之一。重点练习英语中没有的德语元音。’ü’ 音：像要说 ‘oo’ 一样圆起嘴唇，但尝试发 ‘ee’。发 ‘ö’ 时，嘴唇做成 ‘o’ 的形状然后发 ‘e’。’ich’ 中的 ‘ch’ 是一个轻柔的咝音，抬起舌中贴近上颚发出，与 ‘Loch’ 中的 ‘ch’ 不同。
Intonation matters too. In yes/no questions, the voice generally rises at the end: ‘Kommst du?’ (Are you coming?). In wh-questions, the voice often falls: ‘Wann kommst du?’ (When are you coming?). Copy the rhythm of German by listening to short songs or YouTube clips aimed at learners.
语调同样重要。在一般疑问句中，句末语调通常上扬：’Kommst du?’（你来吗？）。在特殊疑问句中，语调常下降：’Wann kommst du?’（你什么时候来？）。倾听面向学习者的短歌或 YouTube 片段，模仿德语的节奏。
Use the phrase ‘Zungenbrecher’ (tongue twisters) for practice: ‘Fischers F
