Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today, I have a bit of a special lesson for you. We're going to look at the IELTS test.
大家好，歡迎回到engvid.com。我是Adam。今天，我給大家準備了一個有點特別的課程。我們今天要來看看雅思考試。
Now, before I begin, I have to tell you that I will be speaking a little bit faster than usual because this is for IELTS test-takers.
在開始之前，我要提醒你們的是，這次我的講話速度會比平常快一點，因為這節課是為考雅思的朋友們準備的。
You need to get used to faster speed English, more natural speed English.
你們需要習慣速度更快、更自然的英語。
But for everybody else, keep watching. It's still a good practice, still lots of vocabulary to learn, lots of things to learn.
至于不考雅思的朋友，你們也可以繼續觀看，因為這也是一次很好的練習機會，還是能學到很多詞匯和知識的。
So, more specifically, we're going to be looking at IELTS time management.
具體來說，我們這節課要學的是在雅思考試時做好時間規劃。
Now, many people tell me... I've had many students come and tell me the biggest problem they had taking the IELTS test was that they ran out of time.
很多人說......我的很多學生都跑來告訴我，說他們在考雅思的時候，遇到的最大的問題就是時間不夠用。
They didn't know how to manage their time, and that's why they lost a lot of points. Okay?
他們不知道要如何規劃時間，而這也正是他們丟了很多分的原因。
So, today, I'm going to help you fix that a little bit. There's lots to talk about. Let's get started.
所以今天我就要幫你們解決這個問題。有很多東西要講，所以我們開始吧。
Two things we have to worry about: mind and body. Okay?
有兩件事情需要注意：思維和身體。
First, let's talk about the body.
首先，我們來講講身體。
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they go to take the test on test day is they're exhausted.
人們當天去考試的時候會犯的最大的錯誤之一就是，他們都累壞了。
They're just not mentally ready to take the test.
他們精神上還沒準備好參加考試。
It's a long test, it's a difficult test, and it's a test in English; not your native tongue. Obviously, right?
這個考試持續時間很長，難度系數較高，還是全英文的，顯然不是各位的母語，對吧？
So, what do you do? Very, very important. The night before... The night before the test, don't study.
那么，你們該怎么做呢？這一點非常非常重要，考試前一晚不要學習。
If you don't know it then, you won't know it the next day.
如果你們到了那會兒還不知道要怎么做題，第二天也還是不會的。
So, the night before the test, go to sleep early, get a full eight hours of solid sleep, wake up early, do whatever you need to do in the morning, go to the test center relaxed. Okay?
所以，考試前一晚請早點上床睡覺，踏踏實實睡上八個小時，第二天上午早點起床，該干嘛干嘛，然后輕輕松松地去考試中心，好嗎？
Very, very important. You need as much brain power as you can get on test day.
這一點非常非常重要，因為你們考試當天會需要消耗很多腦力。
Speaking of waking up in the morning on test day, make sure that you eat properly. Don't go to the test hungry.
說到考試當天早起的問題，請你們一定要好好吃早餐，不要空著肚子去考試。
Your stomach does a lot of your thinking for you when you're not prepared.
當你們準備不充分的時候，你們的胃會幫你們進行很多思考活動。
If you're hungry, you're thinking about your stomach; not about the English. Okay?
如果你們考試時覺得餓了，那你們滿腦子想的都會是你們的胃，而不是英語。
Eat. Eat properly, carbohydrates, proteins, avoid coffee and sugar, but if you have to have a coffee in the morning to wake up, like I do, have it at least an hour, an hour and a half, two hours before the test.
一定要吃飯，好好吃飯。攝入一些碳水化合物和蛋白質，盡量避免咖啡和糖，不過如果你們和我一樣，必須得喝一杯咖啡才能清醒過來的話，請至少在考試之前一個小時、一個半小時或者兩個小時內喝完。
Don't go into the test room with a cup of a coffee in your hand, well, you can't anyway, but don't go into the test center with a cup of coffee in your hand. Get it all out of the way early.
不要拿著一杯咖啡進考場，當然啦，這樣人家也不會讓你們進考場的，但是，就算進入考試中心也不要拿著咖啡，早點把它喝完。
