How to prepare for IELTS?

如何準備雅思考試？

 

If you need to study in an English-speaking country or work in one, you may be asked to prove your level of English with an IELTS Exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. Here are some steps to succeed.

如果你將在一個英語國家學習或工作，你可能要參加雅思去展現你的英語能力。新來的烤鴨們，以下是備考的小步驟哦！MARK！

 

STEP

1.Start with the official IELTS website. There you will find a lot of information about the test, e.g. the test format, how many sections it has, etc.

閱覽雅思官網。你將找到許多關于雅思考試的基本信息，如：雅思答題紙，雅思考試內容等。

 

2.Consult your nearest British Consul, as they will provide you many helpful materials for taking the test, or you may like to practice classes for the test.

咨詢身邊的雅思考官。考官們將會提供許多有用的備考素材或者可以選擇報班。

 

3.Choose an achievable goal. To obtain a satisfactory IELTS Band Score, it is necessary to be realistic. Your skill and dedication must match your overall goal for English proficiency. It is important to know what an IELTS score in any of the Sub-tests means before you set yourself a goal.

建立目標。知道學校或者工作以及移民所需的各項分數要求哦！

 

4.Buy the recent books about IELTS such as "EXAMINATION PAPERS CAMBRIDGE IELTS" so that you can practice by yourself. You can discuss about a point with the people( who are on the same boat) from all over the world as well. It's fun and effective.

買關于雅思的考試書，如：劍橋雅思真題集，然后進行練習。并且你可以和各國備考雅思的考生進行交流，有趣并且成效顯著哦！

 

 

5.Practice, practice, practice. Set aside the most hours you can spare each day to practise English for all four Subtests. Do not concentrate only on your weakest areas. Be regular in your practice, and give yourself a rest between tasks. Take at least one day out of your week to rest and forget the test completely.The secret of success is to work towards your goal slowly, steadily and regularly. It is best not to leave any long intervals between your practice and your test.

熟能生巧。抽出時間準備雅思，不能只專注訓練弱項。練習時完全按照考試的模式哦！每周可以休息一天，放松一下啦。雅思的成功秘訣就是慢慢地，穩定地接近目標。考試和訓練之間相隔的時間不能太長。

 

6.Try to find out your weak points and start working on them (e.g.if you are not so strong in the writing section then you should start with this and eventually you will like it), or if you have difficulties in the speaking section then start to talk and think in English, as there is no better way to learn speaking. If you think in English you will be able to express yourself more naturally.

找到你的弱項，逐步攻破。如果寫作不好，就多練。如果口語不好，就試著用英語的思維想并且大聲說出來。

 

7.Start reading newspapers, journals and articles and you should be well informed about the current issues used for the speaking and writing topics.You can discuss those issues with your friends in English as that'll help you to prepare better for both sections-3.

開始讀些報紙，期刊和文章吧，了解實事。這些對于寫作和口語很有幫助。并且，你可以和你的小伙伴展開討論哦，對于p3特別有用哈！

 

8.Listen to the BBC and CNN, or watch British movies, shows and music. Spend 30 minutes on listening to the BBC news every day if you are not a native speaker.

對于聽力，可以平常聽聽BBC和CNN，或者看些英劇，聽些英文歌。每天花上30分鐘聽聽BBC新聞，也是不錯滴！

 

9.Develop a memory for English. In the Reading Test, it pays to remember as much as you can of what you have just read, but at least the words can be read again. However, in the Listening Test you cannot go back, and the tape is only played once. If the answer comes before the keyword/phrase, your memory of what you have just heard is even more important. Nevertheless, the answer usually follows the keywords/phrases that you hear, and is close in time to the main keyword/phrase you are listening for.

鍛煉你的英語記憶能力。無論聽力亦或者閱讀，對于記憶能力要求還是挺高的。記得劃上關鍵詞，這將對答題很有幫助哦！

 

10.Increase your personal speed. In the IELTS, time is your enemy. Candidates who have taken the test and did not perform as well as they had hoped often complain that they were unable to give all the answers in the Listening Test because the tape was too fast, and that they ran out of time in the Reading Test.To begin with, do not worry if you do not finish the tests. Remember, the test is designed to measure candidates over a range of scores from 0 to 9 (0 indicates the test was not attempted). Candidates whose English is near perfect can expect to score 9, but even native English-speaking people would be unlikely to complete every Listening Test answer perfectly or finish the Reading Test a long time before the examination ends.

•The Listening, Reading, and Writing Tests are usually given in that order, and are usually held on a single morning. The combined length of those three tests is 2 hours and 30 minutes. (The Speaking Test is conducted at an appointed time in the afternoon.) Only one short break is given between the Reading and Writing Tests, so you need to be at your best for a long period of time, which is why you must sleep and eat well before the test. The hints and guidelines in this article should help you achieve your "maximum speed". The more effort you put in, the faster your personal speed will be on the day.

 

加快做題速度。雅思考試中，時間就是你的敵人。許多考生會因為聽力的播放速度或語句難度，亦或者因為閱讀的時間把控而一臉懵逼。只有英語十分完美的人才可以拿到九分，甚至對于本土人，都不一定可以在聽力或閱讀拿到滿分。聽力，閱讀，寫作耗時兩個半小時。閱寫之間的休息時間十分短，所以你必須保持最佳的狀態參加考試。考試前，確保睡眠和飲食是棒棒噠！之前提到的小技巧可以幫助到你的各項，達到最大的答題速度吧。投入的努力越多，你的速度成效越大。
