雅思学习的十个小贴士
10 Study Tips For IELTS
1、学之以方 / You need a method
Do you have a technique or method for any aspect to the IELTS test?
For example，have you practiced particular way of writing introductions ,or on an approach for paragraph headings' questions in the reading test，or a technique for giving longer answers in speaking part 3.
If you have a method for everything,you’ll feel much more confident during the test.
针对雅思考试的每个方面，你是否都有一套方法或技巧？
比如，你有否用特定方法练习写作介绍？或者在阅读测试的段落标题题型中有路子？或者有技巧能够在第三部分的口语测试中给出更长的回答？
如果对于所有一切，都有一套方法，那在考试中你就会自信得多。
2、跬步前进 / Small improvement
You will not find special technique that will lead dramatic improvement in your skills.
Improvements happen slowly，when you work on small things,like adding one or two good items vocabulary to XXX,or understanding one particular grammar mistake that you have made.
你找不到什么特殊科技，能给你的能力带来戏剧性的进步。
进步总是缓慢到来——当你专注于一些细节小事的时候。比如单词量增加一两个词条，或者搞懂一个曾经犯过的语法错误。
3，少测试，多准备 / Less testing, more preparing
If you always do a test to yourself,your skill won’t improve.
Just test yourself maybe once a week,and spend rest of the time preparing.
This could mean working on vocabulary for IELTS topics,or working slowly through reading test using a dictionary,or writing xxXXX for speaking question.
4、能懂不等于能用 / Understanding is not the same as using
Many students think that they know a word when they understanding what it means.
In my view, you only know a word,when you can use it correctly in a full sentence.
许多学生以为，搞懂一个词的意思，就算掌握它了。
在我看来，只有你能正确的在一个完整句子中应用它，你才算真正掌握一个词。
5、从错误中学习/Learn from your mistakes.
This is probably the best way to improve in turns of both grammar and exam techniques.
If you make grammar mistake,you need to understand what you did wrong.
If you get the wrong answers for listening or reading questions, analyse your mistake and correct times carefully.
6、忘记复杂 / Forget about difficult words and complex grammar
Too many students are XXX with this idea of using difficult language.
In my experience,they usually get low score because their sentences seem forced and unnatural.
So what’s the answer to this problem?——
太多学生，被“用复杂语言”的概念带偏了。
根据我的经验，他们通常得分都很低，因为他们的句子看起来很别扭勉强，不自然。
那，这个问题到底怎么解决？——
7、回答问题 / Answer the question
Instead worrying about difficult language,just focus on answering the question,in a natural way as you would do in your own language.
与其操心复杂语言，不如聚焦回答问题，用最自然的方式，就像你用自己的母语一样。
8、主题词汇 / Topic vocabulary,not ‘any essay’ phrases
You’ll not benefit from learning a list of phrases that can be used in any essay.
Examiners are not impressed by these phrases,the only vocabulary that will impress examiners is topic vocabulary.
This means, words and phrases that are all specific to the question topic.
学习那些可以在任何文章中使用的随大流的短语清单，是得不到好处的。
考官们不会被这些短语打动。唯一能打动考官的，是那些主题词汇。
意思是：那些明确与问题主题相关的词汇和短语。
9、没有秘密/There isn’t a secret
As I said earlier,there is no special technique,that will lead to sudden dramatic improvement in your skill.
Just keep practicing,and keep learning.
Hard work,instead of worry.
正如我前面所说，世上没有什么特技，能给你的能力带来戏剧化的突飞猛进。
只有持续练习，持续学习。
10、与其担忧，不如努力 / Hard work instead of worry
Instead of spending your time worrying about skill you need,open a book,or pick up your pen, do some work.
If you know you worked hard and prepared well,you will feel much more confident going into the exam.
与其浪费时间担心自己要的能力，不如打开书，拿起笔，干点实事儿。
如果你清楚自己学习努力，准备充分，参加考试时自然信心十足。
