Don't go off topic. Sometimes, students -- they're really actually excited, and they want to talk.
別跑題。有的同學確實非常興奮，表達欲很強。
And they want to show off their language skills.
也想展現自己的語言能力。
And so they think, "Oh, yes. I need to expand my answers."
所以他們想，“嗯是的我要擴充我的答案。”
But instead of expanding, they go and they talk about so many different things that don't have to do with the topic.
然而他們并不是在擴充，而是說了一大堆與話題不相關的事情。
For example, if they ask me a question on my hometown, if I start talking about Toronto,
比如他們問到我的家鄉。如果我說了多倫多，然
and then I start talking about education, and then I start talking about technology, this is going off on too many different topics.
后提到了教育，又談了談科技，這就跑太偏了。
Stick to what they ask you. You can give examples, but they should be about -- they should refer to the question they asked you.
專注于問題。你可以舉例，但例子需要跟問題相關。
Don't answer, "I don't know."
別回答“我不知道”。
In the first part of the IELTS, this would actually be a difficult --
在口試第一部分，回答“不知道”可能還有點難度——
I can't imagine you actually using this answer because the point of Part 1 of the IELTS is to make you feel comfortable.
因為這部分其實是為了讓你們進入狀態的，我想象不到喲什么機會回答“不知道”。
The examiner asks you questions about yourself. You should know these answers.
考官問的是關于你的問題，你應該知道怎么回答。
"What are your favorite hobbies? What types of foods do you like to eat? How many members are there in your family?"
“你的愛好是什么？你喜歡吃什么食物？你家有幾口人？”
You shouldn't answer, "I don't know" to any of these questions. They're about you.
這都是關于你的問題，你不應該答不上來。
And if -- maybe you don't know. Maybe you've never thought about what's your favorite food. Just make it up.
而且——即使你真的不知道，比如你從沒想過自己最喜歡吃什么，那就現編一個回答。
Even if you hate sushi, even if you hate West Indian food or Canadian food.
即使你討厭壽司，討厭西印度食物或者加拿大食物。
That's okay. Just make it up. "I love West Indian food. I love Canadian food." If you don't know, make up your answer.
都沒問題，編一個答案。“我喜歡西印度食物。我喜歡加拿大美食。”諸如此類。
Don't speak too quickly, and don't speak too slowly. This is a little bit about fluency.
語速別太快，也千萬別太慢。這是“流利度”的評分點。
What often happens with students is when they get nervous,
有的同學往往一緊張就開始說得很快.
they start to talk really, really, really fast, and they go a mile a minute.They just go so fast.
快得沒邊兒了。
If you're the type of person that does this, practice is speaking in environments where you get nervous.
如果你屬于這種情況，那就在你容易感到緊張的場合練習口語。
This way, you can practice maybe ways to deal with stress, ways to deal with nervousness.
這樣一來，你也許就能掌握應對壓力和緊張的方法。
Try not to speak too quickly. Also, don't speak very slowly.
試著不要語速太快，當然也不要太慢。
I've had some students who have used a lot of "uh's" and "ah's", and this is a problem. Don't speak too slowly.
我的一些學生太頻繁地“呃/啊”，這是個問題。不要說得太慢。
