Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video, we are going to talk about the reading module of the IELTS.
大家好!我叫Emma,在今天的視頻中,我們要討論的是雅思的閱讀部分。
I'm going to tell you some of my top IELTS reading tips. So let's get started.
我會告訴你們一些我的雅思閱讀秘訣。那么,我們就開始吧。
During the reading module of the IELTS, there will be three passages that you read, and for each passage, there are a bunch of questions you have to answer.
在雅思考試的閱讀部分,一共有三篇文章,每一篇文章后面都有一堆要你回答的問題。
The first tip I have for you is: don't spend too much time reading the passages.
我要說的第一個訣竅就是:不要花太多時間閱讀文章。
What happens to a lot of students is they read word-for-word everything.
很多學生在做閱讀理解的時候,總是逐字逐字地把所有內容都讀一遍。
They see a word they don't know, they keep trying to understand the meaning.
當他們看見不認識的單詞時,會一直想辦法弄懂這個單詞的意思。
You don't have to understand everything to understand the passage. If you don't know a word, that's fine.
其實,你們并不需要讀懂所有內容才能弄懂文章大意。如果有不認識的單詞,也沒有關系。
The better thing to do than to slowly read, is to use skills such as skimming, which means you quickly read for the main idea, or scanning, meaning you look for key words or you look for specific detail.
比慢慢閱讀文章更好的就是使用一些閱讀技巧,比如略讀,也就是快速閱讀以弄懂文章主要思想;或者瀏覽,意思就是在閱讀的時候尋找關鍵詞或者要點。
A lot of students, what they do for the IELTS is they actually will read the questions first, and then they will read the passage. And that way, they... they know what they're looking for.
很多學生在參加雅思考試的時候采用的辦法是,先看文章后面的問題,然后再閱讀文章。這樣他們就知道自己要找什么了。
You don't have to do this, it's one technique. Some students find this a lot easier, other students like to read the passage first and then answer the questions.
你們不一定非得這么做,這只是一種技巧。有些學生覺得這樣會簡單一些,但也有其他學生喜歡先讀文章再回答問題。
I recommend trying both out. First do the reading, then the questions, then try to read the questions first and read the passage and see what you like better, what you're more comfortable doing.
我的建議是你們可以兩種方法都試一試。第一次先讀文章再回答問題,第二次試著先看問題再讀文章。然后看看你更喜歡哪一種,哪一種方法讓你覺得更舒服。
So the key thing here is: don't read slowly.
總之最關鍵的就是:不要慢慢地閱讀。
It's a timed test, you have three parts, you have to get through 40 questions; it's very important that you read quickly.
考試是有時間限制的,而且整個閱讀部分有三篇文章,還有40個問題要回答,所以快速閱讀非常重要。
You can start practicing reading quickly also. There are a number of resources out there where you can actually start practicing.
你們練習的時候也可以試著快速閱讀了。可供練習的資源也有很多。
And time yourself when you practice, make sure you're not going over time.
練習的時候要記得給自己計時,確保不要超時。
