Number six is another common mistake students make, their spelling.
第六個訣竅也是學生們經常會犯的一個錯誤——他們的拼寫。
A lot of students forget that the reading section also has a writing component and that is you have to write your answers.
很多學生都忘了其實閱讀理解也有書寫的部分,那就是你們要把答案寫出來。
You also have to spell your answers correctly, and many students, unfortunately, make spelling mistakes.
在這一部分你們同樣需要正確地把答案拼寫出來,然而不幸的是,很多學生都會出現拼寫錯誤。
So it's very important to practice spelling before you do the IELTS.
所以,在參加雅思考試之前練習拼寫單詞也是很重要的。
It will help you with the listening section, the writing section, and the reading section.
這在考試的聽力部分、寫作部分和閱讀部分都有幫助。
I can't emphasize this enough. Smelling... Spelling... Not smelling. Spelling matters. Okay?
這個問題我怎么強調都不過分。一定要注意拼寫問題。
One idea is you can get a book and any time you spell a word wrong, write it in your book and practice those words.
有一個辦法就是,你們可以準備一個本子,無論什么時候寫錯了單詞,都把這個單詞寫到本子上去,然后記住這些單詞。
Have a spelling book for yourself so you can see which words you often make mistakes with.
做一個屬于你們自己的單詞本,這樣就可以看看你們經常寫錯哪些單詞了。
Number seven, a lot of students also make this mistake with grammar.
第七個訣竅,很多學生還會經常犯語法錯誤。
You have to use the correct grammar when you're answering a question.
在答題的時候一定要使用正確的語法。
So, for example, sometimes maybe the answer is: "castles" with an "s", but a student might write the singular version in their answer, maybe they just write: "castle", but the correct form would be with an "s".
比如,有時候也許答案是" castles",有個復數詞尾" s" ,但是學生可能會在答案中寫出單數形式,他們可能會寫" castle",可是正確答案是有" s"的。
So you always have to be aware of grammar.
所以一定要時常注意語法。
The best thing to do is after you write your answer, check it to see if the grammar makes sense.
最好的方法就是在寫完之后檢查一下答案,看看從語法上是不是說得通。
Were they looking for singular answer? Were they looking for a plural answer? Okay? So that's very important to keep an eye out for.
看看題目需要的是單數形式的答案,還是復數形式的答案?這一點非常值得注意。
Finally, my last... my last tip for today is: a lot of students don't read the instructions properly.
最后,今天我要說的最后一個訣竅就是:很多學生都不仔細看題目要求。
This is a very, very big mistake to make. A lot of students, they've done lots and lots of IELTS tests and they think they know it, so they don't bother reading the instructions.
這種行為大錯特錯。很多學生已經參加過很多次雅思考試了,所以他們以為自己都懂,就懶得看題目要求了。
Always read the instructions.
請一定要仔細閱讀題目要求。
Even if you've done a hundred IELTS tests, read the instructions just to make sure.
即使你們已經參加過一百次雅思考試了,也要看看題目要求以防萬一。
