Hi, my name is Emma, and in today's lesson we are going to be looking at the IELTS.
大家好,我是 Emma,今天继续聊聊雅思备考技巧。
The IELTS is a test that a lot of ESL students have to take when they want to go to a Canadian university, an Australian university, an English university.
雅思是许多有意向前往加拿大、澳大利亚、英国等国家的同学必考的一项语言测试。
When they want to study overseas or often times, when they want to immigrate to one of these countries.
当他们想要去这些国家学习或者移民。
We're looking specifically at the speaking part of the IELTS, part two.
今天我们重点探讨一下如何在雅思口语第二部分取得高分。
The IELTS speaking task is split up into three sections.
雅思口语测试分为三部分。
We are going to be looking at section two in this video.
今天着重讨论第二部分。
Let me first explain what happens in section two,
首先我们会分析一下第二部分的考试要求,
and then we are going to look at some tips on what you should do if you want to do well on this section, and things you shouldn't do.
接着跟大家分享一些得分技巧和一些应该避免的事情。
Let's get started.
现在开始。
In part two of the speaking component of the IELTS, you will be speaking for about two minutes.
口语第二部分要求你用英语讲两分钟。
This part lasts for about three minutes, so you have three minutes.
这部分总时长三分钟,所以你有三分钟的时间。
The first minute you will be handed a question card.
第一分钟会发给你一张话题卡。
Here is an example of a question card. It will tell you, often times, to describe something.
话题卡通常要求你描述某个事物。
"Describe a museum that you have visited." It will tell you what you need to say.
比如说,“描述你去过的某个博物馆”。
You should say:*Where it is*Why you went there*What you particularly remember. This is just an example.
题目还会告诉你应该怎么描述:*这家博物馆位于哪里*你为什么去参观*你记忆犹新的是什么等等。这只是举例。
It can be on different topics, but you will get a card that looks something like this.
当然实战中的话题可能有很多种,但你拿到的话题卡大致是这样的。
You have one minute to look at the question and to make notes, and to think: "Okay, what am I going to say?"
你有一分钟的时间读题、做笔记、快速思考应该怎么说。
That takes one minute, and then after that the examiner will tell you: "Okay, you can begin."
一分钟结束时,考官会提示你“可以开始了”。
You must talk for one to two minutes.
你的答题时间为一至两分钟。
A lot of students actually consider this the hardest part of the speaking component because it's not a dialogue.
因为这部分不是对话,所以很多同学其实觉得这部分是口语里最难的。
The examiner isn't asking you questions and you're giving responses, and you're going back and forth.
并不是考官提问你来回答,一来一往的形式。
