It's very important to leave yourself time to transfer your answers from your test paper to the answer sheet.
留有足夠的時間把答案從試卷謄寫到答題卡上是很重要的。
A lot of students, they work through the booklet and then they realize there's no time to transfer their answers, so make sure you leave time for this.
很多學生在寫完試卷之后才發現沒有時間把答案抄到答題卡上了,所以你們一定要確保留有足夠的時間謄寫答案。
Okay, my fifth tip is a very, very common error students make: three words or less.
第五個訣竅是個學生們經常會犯的錯誤:不超過三個單詞。
In the reading section, also in the listening, in the instructions you will also... or you will often see the words: "Write three words or less."
在閱讀部分的答題要求中,實際上聽力部分也有,你們也會......你們經常會看見這句話:“不超過三個單詞。”
They mean: write three words or less. A lot of students write too many words here.
這句話的意思就是:不要寫超過三個單詞。但很多學生還是會寫很多個單詞。
So, for example: if I'm doing a reading on archeology and, you know, I have to write an answer and my answer is: "the tomb of the Pharaoh", for example. This is a Pharaoh, if you don't know, ancient Egypt.
舉個例子來說,假如我正在做一篇關于考古學的閱讀理解,然后我要回答一個問題,比如說答案是" the tomb of the Pharaoh"。以防你們不知道,這個就是一個古埃及的法老。
If the instructions tell me: "write three words or less", and my answer is: "the tomb of the Pharaoh", I've written way too many words.
如果答題要求寫著“答案不得超過三個單詞”,而我的答案是" the tomb of the Pharaoh",那我就多寫了太多單詞了。
I've written one, two, three, four, five, so that's too many. So I would get this wrong on the IELTS, get a big "X".
我寫了1、2、3、4、5,5個單詞,這就太多了。所以如果我在參加雅思考試的話,就做錯了,會得個大大的" X"。
Even though my answer was right, because I didn't follow the instructions and I wrote too many words, I'm going to get it wrong.
即使我的答案沒有錯,但是因為我沒有按照考試要求作答,寫了太多單詞,這一題還是沒有分。
So what would be the correct answer in this case is: "the Pharaoh's tomb".
那么按照要求來說這一題的正確答案是" the Pharaoh's tomb"。
This is three words. So in this example, that would be correct, we haven't gone over three words.
只有三個單詞。所以,在這個例子中這才是正確的答案,寫的單詞沒有超過三個。
Also, I could write for these questions maybe one word or maybe two words.
同樣的,對于這些問題,也可以寫一個或者兩個單詞。可以寫一個、兩個或者三個單詞,但是一定不能超過三個。這個錯誤十分常見。
I can write one, two, or three words - no more than that. Very common mistake.
可以寫一個、兩個或者三個單詞,但是一定不能超過三個。這個錯誤十分常見。
