So now let's look at some of the "Don'ts", things you should not do for this part of the IELTS.
接下來我們看一下在第三部分哪些事情應該避免。
Okay, so what shouldn't you do in this section of the IELTS?
那么在第三部分哪些事情不該做呢?
Okay, so I have "Don'ts" and an angry face. This is what you should not do.
我給不該做的事情畫了一個哭臉。以下是不該做的。
So first of all, don't memorize answers. This is not the way to do well on the IELTS. Okay?
首先,不要背答案。背答案無益于取得好成績。
If you memorize answers, and if the examiner notices that you're sort of speaking funny and thinks you've memorized an answer,
要是你背答案,當考官注意到你的說話方式有點奇怪,認為你背了答案的話,
they're going to change the subject.
他們會換話題。
So it's good not to memorize answers because you'll probably have a lot more difficulty if you do.
不要背答案,因為你可能因此更難通過。
It's better, again, to spend your time learning vocabulary, practicing speaking with your friends,
更好的做法是,把時間花在擴大詞匯量上,花在和朋友練習口語上,
practicing answering these types of questions, giving your opinion, but don't memorize answers.
花在操練各類問題的答案上,表達你的觀點,但是不要背答案。
Don't worry if you make mistakes. Okay?
犯了錯誤不用擔心。
If you make a mistake, if you can correct it and it won't take a lot of time - just quickly correct it.
要是你犯了一個小錯,能輕易糾正過來的話,那就糾正。
If it's one of those mistakes that if you try to correct it, it's going to cause a lot of problems, confusion - just leave it.
要是你試圖糾正但會犯更多錯誤,或造成更多誤解,沒問題,將錯就錯。
It's okay if you make mistakes, just keep going. Okay?
犯了錯誤沒關系,繼續說下去。
Don't go off topic. So if you're talking about education, don't start talking about sports. Stick to what they're asking you.
千萬別跑題。不要從教育話題跳到運動話題,緊緊圍繞考官的問題來作答。
Don't change the question either; if they ask you a question, answer that question.
也不要隨意修改問題,考官問什么你就答什么。
Don't use too many "umms" and "ahhs". Okay? Some "umms" and "ahhs" are okay,
不要頻繁“呃”“啊”。偶爾出現沒關系,
but if every question you're saying: "Umm, I think, uhh, ehh that umm, uhh really that uhh",
但如果你這樣回答問題:“呃,我覺得,嗯………嗯……那個什么確實是……呃……”,
it's not going to get you a good mark.
你肯定得不到好分數。
So if you're one of those people who use "umms" and "ahhs" a lot, try to focus before the IELTS on using them less.
如果你是那種不自覺地頻繁“呃啊”的類型,那么在考前要有意識地控制自己,少使用一些“呃”“嗯”“啊”。
What you can always do is tape record yourself speaking --
特別推薦一種雅思口語的訓練方法——
listen to your strengths: what are you good at? And what are your weaknesses?
聽聽自己的優勢和劣勢:你擅長什么?哪個環節比較薄弱?
Be honest -- everyone has weaknesses. So listen and try to practice beforehand to fix those weaknesses. Okay?
說實話——每個人都有弱點。因此,多聽自己的錄音,在考前盡量多地練習,修正這些不足。
