Okay. So this is still body.
接下來還是關于身體的。
During the test, when you have a few extra seconds, maybe between sections, between questions in the listening section, etcetera, close your eyes, breathe, just calm yourself down, relax.
考試過程中,也許在各個部分之間、在聽力部分的不同問題之間會有幾秒鐘的間隔時間,這時候請閉上雙眼,深呼吸,讓自己鎮靜下來,放輕松。
Remember, at the end of the day, if you didn't do well on the test today, you take it again next week or the week after that, you can do it again. Relax.
記住,考試結束之后,如果這次考得不好,你們下周或者下下周還可以繼續考,你們還有機會,所以,別緊張。
Close your eyes, if they're burning, close them, relax, get a little bit of energy back, move on.
閉上雙眼,如果你們的雙眼滾燙,請閉上眼睛放輕松,找回一點精力,然后繼續做題。
Same idea, if you have a chance, stretch.
同樣的,有機會就伸展一下你們的身體。
Don't be afraid to waste-if you want to call it that-take a minute of your time to stretch.
不要擔心會浪費時間(如果你們想這么認為的話),花一分鐘伸展一下全身。
Arms up, do whatever you have to do, don't get up and walk around, I don't think they'll be very happy about that, but as much as you can, stretch.
把胳膊舉起來,做任何能做的動作,不過不要站起來四處走動,我想考官不會容忍你們這么做的,但是在允許范圍內,盡量伸展你們的身體。
Legs, arms, neck, whatever you need to do.
雙腿、胳膊、脖子,任何需要的部位都可以動一動。
A strong, healthy body helps you do better on a test, it actually helps you save time, believe it or not. Okay, this is one thing.
一個健康強壯的體魄會幫助你們在考試中取得更好的成績,信不信由你們,這實際上還能幫你們節約時間。好了,這是一件事。
Most importantly, your mind.
最重要的一件事就是你們的思維。
We need to train your mind, it's not all about English. Okay?
我們需要對思維進行訓練,不僅僅只是關于英語方面。
The IELTS test, the TOEFL test, etcetera, these are called standardized tests, it means they're always going to be the same structure.
雅思考試、托福考試等等都被稱為標準化考試,也就是說它們通常都會保持同樣的結構。
They're always going to be about the same time, the same set up, the same types of questions. Okay? Know them.
它們一般持續的時間、試題設置和問題類型都是一樣的。好好了解一下,好嗎?
So, how we... do we train your body? Practice. I cannot stress this enough, practice, practice, practice every single day.
那么,我們要如何訓練呢?練習!這個問題我怎么強調都不夠,每一天都要練習,練習,練習。
What do you practice? Excuse me. Practice your listening and speaking as much as you can.
練習的內容是什么呢?練習你們的聽力和口語,越多越好。
The easiest thing to practice is your listening. Okay?
其中最好練習的就是聽力了。
TV, music videos, YouTube, internet, like, English is everywhere, very, very easy to practice your listening. Okay?
電視、音樂視頻、YouTube和網絡上到處都是英語,想要練習聽力真的非常非常簡單。
Practice your vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. You need a lot of words for this test.
練習你們的詞匯量。學新詞,學新詞,學新詞!你們在雅思考試中會需要大量的詞匯。
Practice your skills, note taking skills, paraphrasing skills, just writing skills.
練習你們的技巧,做筆記的技巧、釋義技巧和寫作技巧。
Notice I wrote this here, "write legibly".
請注意一下我在這里寫的“保持字跡清楚”。
