Five common mistakes made by test takers
考生最易犯的五類錯誤
Everyone makes mistakes!
每人都會犯錯！
Even the most prepared person can make simple errors on test day and lose valuable marks.
哪怕是準備最好的人在考試當天都可能犯最簡單的錯誤，丟失寶貴的分數。
Let’s take a look at the 5 most common mistakes so you don’t fall into the same traps.
讓我們看看5類最常見錯誤，避免你重蹈覆轍。
Not reading the question properly.
沒有仔細審題。
Don’t think this applies to you?
你覺得這是不是你的情況？
Think again: In any test, have you ever written a few words over the set word limit?
再回想一下：在以前任何考試中，你是否超出過了字數限制？
Or maybe you’ve provided two answers when only one is required, and just hoped for the best?
或者雖然只有一個問題，你卻給了兩個答案，希望能猜中一個？
In both instances, your answer would be marked as incorrect because you didn’t follow the instructions!
以上兩個情形中，你的回答都會被算作錯誤，因為你沒有按照要求作答！
So make sure you read the question and stick to what you’re being asked to do.
一定要仔細審題嚴格按照要求作答。
Changing the subject in the Writing test.
在寫作測試中改變主題。
No matter how well structured your work is, you still won’t get a good score if your writing is off topic.
無論你的作文有多么好的結構，如果你的寫作跑題了，仍然不會拿高分。
To avoid this situation, ensure you stick to the subject.
為避免這種情況，務必緊扣主題。
Not pronouncing words correctly.
發音錯誤。
As a test of international English, IELTS does not take off marks if you have an accent.
作為一個國際英語測試，雅思考試不會因為你有口音而給你扣分。
Your accent is not important, but your pronunciation is!
你的口音不重要，但你的發音很重要！
So, for example, for the word ‘probably’ don’t say probly or prolly.
比如，你把‘probably’發成了probly或者prolly時，就會被扣分。
Make sure you practice and test your pronunciation with some English speakers before the test.
你一定要好好練習，并在考試之前讓說英語的人測試你的英語發音。
Repeating the question that was asked when answering in the Speaking test.
口語測試時，重復問題。
Don’t be a parrot!
不要鸚鵡學舌！
For example when the question is, “Who’s your favourite actress of all time?”
比如，當考官問你，“你有史以來最喜歡的女演員是誰？”
You shouldn’t answer with, “My favourite actress of all time is Marilyn Monroe”, this is because you are not showing your range of English - you’re just copying the question.
你不應該回答“我有史以來最喜歡的女演員是瑪麗蓮?夢露。”因為這樣說就顯示不了你的英語詞匯量。——你不應該重復問題中的語句。
A better answer would be, “I love movies, and I think Marilyn Monroe was a fantastic actress”.
更好的回答是：“我喜愛電影，我認為瑪麗蓮?夢露是一位杰出的女演員。”。
So remember to show off the many different English words you know.
總之，請記住在考試中盡量展示你所知道的英語詞匯。
Leaving blank answers.
不回答問題。
In both your Listening and Reading tests make sure you provide answers – even if you have to make a guess.
在做聽力和閱讀時，一定要回答所有的問題——哪怕你是猜的。
You won’t lose marks for incorrect answers and you might just surprise yourself by getting some correct!
不會因為答案錯誤而倒扣分，而且如果猜對了，不是皆大歡喜么！
Take note of these common mistakes, and you will be well on your way towards improving your IELTS band score.
請記住以上幾類常見錯誤，你一定能提高你的雅思成績。
