However, in foreigner´s spontaneous discourse the pause is,otherwise, a sign of non-fluency which usually indicates cognitive problems. Based on Levelt’s “Speaking” Model, the present article aims to find out the cognitive problems of the Spanishspeaking students of intermediate and advanced level of Chinese in spontaneous discourse through analyzing the characteristics in theproduction of pauses. The results show that advanced students have fewer breaks than midlevel students; the total duration of breaks is shorter; the average length of speech is longer and the average of speed is longer. But there is still distance to reach the natives in the mentioned parameters. In addition, those results of the distribution of the breaks reveal that the middle level students pay much attention to the formulation and articulation of short sentences while the advanced ones face problems in theorganization of long sentences and therefore they must also pay attention to the self-monitoring.
