Now, sadly, a lot of my students tell me that the writing is not the hard part, that the English is not the hard part.
很遺憾的是,我的很多學生都說寫作不難,英語也不難。
What do they have a problem with in task two? Ideas. They don't know what to say.
他們在任務二遇到的最大的麻煩是什么呢?想法。他們不知道要寫些什么。
They don't think about some of these questions. They've never considered these things, so they don't know what to say, even in the planning stage, they're just like sitting there blank.
他們沒有思考過這些題目,從沒考慮過這些事情,所以他們不知道要寫些什么,即使在寫大綱的階段,他們也只是坐在那兒,大腦一片空白。
Here's an idea. Again, be ready before test day.
我給你們出個主意。還是一樣,在考試之前就要做好準備。
When you go into the test, you have an idea bank in your head.
當你們進入考場的時候,腦子里應該已經有個想法庫了。
These are very common topics that you will see on the IELTS test or the TOEFL test as well: technology, education, travel, environment. Okay?
下面是你們在雅思考試或者托福考試中會經常見到的一些話題:技術、教育、旅行和環境。
Make up questions for these, find universal examples, for example, technology, internet, you can use the internet to answer almost any question about technology. Okay?
以這些話題為基礎,自己構思一些問題,找出一些通用的例子,比如技術和網絡,你們可以以網絡為例回答幾乎任何關于技術的問題。
Apple. Apple is a specific real-world example, you can use it, Microsoft, you can use it to talk about many, many things. Okay?
比如蘋果,蘋果公司就是一個具體的現實生活中的例子,你們可以用上它,比如微軟公司,你們可以用它來談論很多很多事情。
Education, university, high school, travelling overseas, learning at home. All these things.
在教育方面可以用大學、高中、出國旅行、在家學習等例子,所有這些都可以用。
Have your ideas ready before the test. Don't try to think of them during the test. Big waste of time.
在考試之前就要準備好你們的想法,不要在考試期間才想該寫什么,太浪費時間了。
Travel, environment. Okay? Lots of ideas. Get yourself examples, worry about examples, don't worry about reasons, don't worry about what the question will be.
像旅行啊,環境啊,有很多想法。多找一些例子,多考慮要用什么例子,不要考慮為什么,不要考慮會出什么題目。
Just think of technological examples that you can use for many types of questions.
你們只要想到可以用來回答不同類型問題的技術性例子就可以了。
Of course, practice. Get yourself a list of questions that you can practice, but have your examples already in your head. Okay?
當然啦,還要勤加練習。你們可以給自己列出一個可以用來練習的題目清單,但是在練習之前就要在腦子里想好例子。
Okay, I'll give you an example of an example that you can use. President Obama could be used for any of these.
我來給你們舉個可以用的例子的例子。你們可以把奧巴馬總統用在任何題目中。
Why? Because he's a person, he's the President of the United States. That's a big, powerful country.
為什么?因為他是一個人,他是美國總統,美國是個強大的國家。
America is the leader in technology, for example.
比如,美國在技術方面處于領先地位。
Education, American... America has one of the... Some of the best schools, Obama is the President of America, you can use him for almost anything, travel, environment, Obama's from Hawaii.
教育,美國有一些世界上最好的學校,奧巴馬是美國總統,你們可以把他用在幾乎任何話題中,旅行,環境都可以,比如,奧巴馬來自夏威夷。
There you go. He's trying to save the environment, like...
這不就出來了嘛。他正在試圖拯救環境,像......
Anyway, get your ideas ready before you go into the test, so, when you go there, you plan because you already have the ideas, you write, you check. Okay?
不管怎樣,你們一定要在進考場之前準備好想,所以,你們進入考場之后就可以列大綱了,因為你們已經想好了,然后寫文章,檢查。
Very straightforward stuff. I will actually have, again, lessons on more of these items for you in the future.
非常直接的事情。事實上,以后我還會開幾節課來多講一點這些話題的。
