So you've decided to take the IELTS Exam, congratulations! Success starts with IELTS.
感謝選擇報考雅思，這將成為你成功之路的起點。
The speaking test is divided into three sections: Part 1 is the introduction and general questions;
雅思口語考試分為三個部分：第一部分是簡介和一般性問題；
Part 2 is the long turn and Part 3 is an analytical discussion.
第二部分是個人陳述；第三部分是分析性的問答討論。
It's important to understand the criteria on which you will be tested in the IELTS exam.
明確雅思考試所采用的評分標準十分重要。
First we consider the criteria of fluency and coherence.
首先，我們來了解“流利性與連貫性”。
This is one of four criteria on which you will be tested.
這是口語部分四個評分標準之一。
We'll cover the other three in later videos.
我們將會在其他三個短片中分別介紹另外三項評分標準。
Fluency and coherence refer to your ability to speak at length, including organizing ideas logically and appropriately signposting.
流利性與連貫性指的是你在以下方面的能力：一是語言表達詳盡的能力，包括符合邏輯地組織觀點，以及進行適當的語義指示的能力。
It also refers to your ability to express and justify opinions,
流利性和連貫性還包含了表達觀點、就你的見解進行辯護、
and to discuss and speculate about issues without long pauses or repetition of the same words.
就出現的話題進行討論并推測的能力，并且，在表達過程中沒有不自然的停頓或者重復使用相同的詞。
Signposting is the use of words or phrases that indicate the direction of your thoughts.
語義指示是指在表達過程中使用可以表明你思維發展方向的詞匯或者詞組。
We will give you some examples of this in a moment.
我們會在稍后的部分舉例說明。
Many students tried memorizing large portions of speech to repeat during the speaking test.
許多考生試圖背誦大段的語篇，想在口語考試中進行套用。
But this can add unnecessary stress and sound unnatural. We don't recommend this approach.
但這其實會讓你產生不必要的壓力，聽起來也不太自然。我們不建議你采用這種方式。
Here are a few tips to improve your speaking test performance.
接下來是一些建議，幫助你在口語考試中取得更佳表現。
As you are speaking about a topic, build on your point of view by adding a few details.
在針對一個話題進行表達的過程中，你需要在自己的觀點中加入一些細節。
For example if the question is "What do you do?", rather than responding with “I am a teacher.”
例如，如果考官問What do you do?與其回答I am a teacher，
You might expand this to "I have been a high school mathematics teacher in New York for over five years."
不如將其擴展，"I have been a high school mathematics teacher in New York for over five years."（我在紐約一所高中當數學老師已經五年了。）
For Part 2 of the test, use the bullet points on the Task Card to help you structure a long turn and make notes in the one minute that given using keywords.
在口語考試的第二部分中，記得使用問題卡上的要點幫助自己組織個人陳述的內容，并要在一分鐘準備時間內，使用關鍵詞來做相應的筆記。
In Part 3 particularly, it is important to develop your answers and to speak at length.
在口語第三部分中，將你的答案進行擴展并詳盡地表達十分重要。
You can do this by thinking of reasons, effects, comparisons, supporting examples and personal experience.
你可以思考以下方面：原因、后果、對比、支持性例證和個人經驗。
Just make sure you are signposting what you say.
值得注意的是，在表達過程中應該針對內容進行語義指示。
