Now, and I can't stress this last point enough, spelling counts on the IELTS.
最后一點我已經強調了很多次了，在雅思考試中，拼寫錯誤是要扣分的。
A lot of students, they try to... they worry about the spelling here, they're trying to write the word perfectly.
很多學生擔心試卷上的單詞拼寫，他們試著把單詞寫得分毫不差。
Remember, at the end of the section, they're going to give you time to write the answers on the answer sheet, that is when you should worry about spelling.
但是請記住，在聽力部分結束的時候，你們會有時間把答案謄寫到答題卡上的，那時候你們才該擔心拼寫問題。
Here, just get the answer down.
在試卷上，你們只要把答案寫下來就可以了。
If anything, use your note taking skills to write it quick and short, but enough that you understand it, and worry about writing it perfectly later on the answer sheet.
有必要的話，你們還可以運用做筆記的技巧把答案寫下來，要寫得又快又簡短，但是又要能認出來寫的是什么，稍后把答案謄寫到答題卡上的時候，才是你們要注意把單詞規規整整寫下來的時候。
Use abbreviations, shorten the words.
使用一些縮寫形式，把單詞縮短。
Use your little codes, "B4", for example, you don't need to write the full word, you need to write enough that you understand what the answer is, worry about spelling later, don't worry about it here, because as you're thinking about this, you're missing the next question. Okay?
用一些你們的小“密碼”，比如B4（before)，不需要把單詞完整地寫下來，只要寫到能認出來的程度就可以了，在這里不要擔心拼寫問題，稍后再注意。因為在你們思考拼寫問題的時候，下一個問題都快結束了。
So it's all about keeping up with the recording and staying ahead of the recording. Okay, that's it for the listening section.
總的來說就是，緊跟著錄音答題，要在播放錄音之前閱讀材料。好了，聽力部分要說的就這些。
Let's look at the reading section.
下面我們來講講閱讀部分。
Okay, so now let's look at the reading section, which again, same structure every time, get to know it.
現在我們來看看閱讀部分，同樣的，閱讀部分的試題結構也是每次都一樣，請提前了解一下。
You have 40 questions, you have 60 minutes.
閱讀部分一共有40個問題，答題時間60分鐘。
Basically the breakdown is 13 questions, 13 questions, 14 questions, or any combination there are, could be 13, 14, 13, doesn't matter, but more or less, that's the way it is.
基本上試題分布都是13個問題，13個問題和14個問題，或者任何這樣的組合，也有可能是13、14、13，這都不重要，你們只要知道大致分布是怎樣的就可以了。
Now, most people think that you should do 20 minutes for each reading section. Don't do that.
大部分人都覺得在閱讀部分的每篇文章上都應該花20分鐘的時間。千萬別這么做。
Break it down like this: first reading, 15 minutes; second reading, 20 minutes; third reading, 25 minutes. Now you're asking me: why? Okay. Two reasons.
請按下面這樣分配時間：第一篇閱讀，15分鐘；第二篇，20分鐘；第三篇，25分鐘。你們也許要問我為什么？好吧，有兩個原因。
One, and the most obvious one, reading number two is harder than reading number one, so you need more time.
第一點，也是最明顯的一點，第二篇文章比第一篇難，所以你們需要更多時間。
Reading number three is harder than reading number two. The readings get harder as you go along. Okay? You want more time as you go along, that's one.
第三篇比第二篇難。閱讀材料的難度會逐漸加大，所以越到后面需要的時間越多。這是第一個原因。
Two, you've just finished a 30-minute listening section, by the time you get here, you've just done 40 minutes or so, 35 minutes of reading.
第二個原因，你們在這之前剛完成了一個30分鐘的聽力部分，等你們做到最后一篇閱讀理解的時候，可能已經做了40分鐘或者35分鐘的閱讀了。
Your brain is tired. It's English. You're frustrated, you're angry, you're... Maybe you're hungry because you didn't eat in the morning like I told you to.
你們的大腦此時會很疲憊，因為全都是英語，你們會感到沮喪、憤怒......也許還會覺得肚子餓，因為你們早上沒有按照我說的那樣好好吃早餐。
Here, you need more time. Why? You're tired, it's harder. Simple as that.
在這個部分，你們需要更多時間。為什么？因為你們很累，題目更難。就這么簡單。
