雅思考官答疑 | 关于雅思备考那些常见问题

口语篇

Q：他们都说在口语考试中背答案不是一个拿高分的好方法，是这样吗？那怎么才是备考口语的正确姿势呢？
Many people say that it is not good to memorize the answers in speaking test. But what is the right way to prepare for it?
（问题来自于一位初入茅庐的迷茫烤鸭）

A：亲，别怀疑，他们说的都是对的！在口语考试里考官可能问到的问题有几百几千个，就算你有三头六臂也是不可能做到面面俱到的...但是别放弃！备考请跟我这样做：
What you can do is prepare to do different things – practise explaining, describing, arguing, disagreeing, etc. The best way to prepare is by talking, though. Make sure you speak as much as you can, so that you feel comfortable and natural speaking in English.

Q: 我有件困扰了很久的事情...那就是一说英语我紧张！特别是在口语考试中和歪国考官面对面,四目相对的那十几分钟里，这要怎么破？
How to overcome the tensionin IELTS speaking test especially when talking to a foreigner?
（问题来自于一位认真备课却又压力山大的烤鸭）

A：冤枉啊...我们真没想要给你压力。放轻松，深呼吸！雅思考官都是经过专业培训并且经验丰富的好脾气，我们只是想和你在愉快地聊天后打一个高分而已..关于克服紧张，你可以:
the best way to overcome tension is to do something many times. Talk to foreigners if you can. If you can’t, talk to Chinese friends or classmates. Ask them to give you a mock IELTS test, with all three parts of the test. Do this again and again. If you have done the test 10 times at home, it will be much easier in the real exam.

Q:我郁闷我痛苦，一进入口语考试的第三部分，我就从”话唠”变”哑巴”..老师求拯救词穷话少，如何顺利度过史上最难熬的那几分钟？
I always feel frustrated and confused, because I think thesequestions are quite hard to generate answers in part 3, Could you give me sometips?
（问题来自于一位真的会词穷的烤鸭）

A：请记住雅思考试的宗旨是检测你的英语水平，因此，首先记得回答考官的问题就是好同志，那么至于如何让自己的回答更完整丰富呢？试试看下面这个方法：
Listen to the questions and give your answer. As you do this think about what else you can say: You can explain your answer, perhaps with examples. You can expand your answer with more details. You can rethink your answer, giving the other side of the question.There are many ways to generate answers, but the only important thing is to keep generating good English!

写作篇

Q：考了这么多次，我总是差了那宝贵的0.5啊，到底写作5.5 和6分的区别在哪里！ what's the difference between the band 5.5and 6?
（问题来自于一位雅思学习者）

A： 这...同学先冷静...其实很多中国考生的问题在于他们没有完整的回答写作任务2中的问题！还有什么呢？请看下去然后告诉我们你中了几个...
In China, the reason many candidates fail to reach band 6 is that they don’t answer the whole question in task 2, they have spelling or grammar errors that make reading the answers difficult or they are using language that is too simple. You can read on the band descriptors what you have to do to get a band 6 or higher for each of the bands. You can learn about the band descriptors here:

Q：都说要做到听说读写全面发展，可是我的口语和写作的发展速度总是跟不上阅读和听力啊，愁死我了都...老师你怎么看？would you tell me how toimprove my speaking and writing when my listening and reading is good enough?
（问题来自于一位德智体美全面发展的烤鸭）

A：你并不是孤单，这是大多数中国考生的通病.对于口语和写作这两大主观题部分，请练习做到 create your own English！
The most important thing is to be active. Many students try to improve speaking by listening more or by learning more words. The important thing though is to actually speak! Make yourself speak as much as you can and practice writing essays. The more you use English, the easier it will be to keep using it.

Q：老师求好的写作结构！还有各路辅导书中推荐的写作模板我该不该用啊？Are there any recommended structures for the writing? There are manyielts guide books and some of which give us some templates and structures.Could I use them when I write my essay?
（问题来自于一位有着渴求知识的眼神的烤鸭）

A：当然可以用，但是要做到妙用： Yes, you can use a general structure. However, try not to use a template that gives you long passages to remember. Many students use these templates and it is very obvious when they have been used – especially if the examiner has seen it 10 times already.
Use a structure that gives a logical way to answer the question. Don’t memorise whole sentences in a structure however, just words, phrases and the general structure itself.

听力&阅读篇

Q：N or F or NG， 作为一个选择障碍患者，每次遇到这种题真的是欲哭无泪了，求助！Do you have some advice to distinguish N or F from NG ?Sometimes it is really hard to tell for me.
（问题来自于一位选择障碍晚期的烤鸭患者）

A:必须承认这类题真的不好答，但是我们可以尝试排除法，先来判断T or F，然后...
Obviously the first thing to do is check if something is true or false. The first check should be to look for the same words in the question as in the text, then to see if that gives you the answer. Then look for similar words: for example, if the question says “the building is red”, look for words like ‘structure’, ‘wall’, ‘scarlet’, ‘ruby’ etc. in the text.

Q： 听力考试中，我总是在抓芝麻丢西瓜， 到底怎么才能抓到重点信息啊?How to effectively capture the key points in listening materials?
（问题来自于一位心大的烤鸭）

A: 其实有没有发现，听力的题目中已经告诉你需要着重关注的信息点在哪里，所以在听之前的审题很重要...
One of the most important things to do is to focus on the questions. In each test you will have time to read the question paper before you listen.
While you read, I would recommend writing suggestions in English or Chinese as to what the answers might be. This could be like: “date” “地点”. Listen for these words during the test.
