Okay. So now, let us look at "false". What does it mean if you write "false"?
現在，我們來看看“錯誤”，如果你們寫了”錯誤“是什么意思呢？
Okay. Now, let's talk about "false". What does it mean to be "false" in this section of the IELTS?
我們來講講”錯誤“，在雅思考試的這個部分，”錯誤“是什么意思呢？
If you write "false" for the fact at the bottom after the reading passage, it means you're saying the fact is opposite.
如果你們在閱讀材料后面的陳述句旁邊寫了”錯誤“，這就是說你們認為這個句子跟文章內容是相反的。
So if you read the reading passage, you read the fact, the fact says, "All cats are black."
假如你們看了文章，也看了這個陳述句，陳述句寫著"All cats are black."（所有的貓都是黑色的）
The reading passage says, "Not all cats are black."
而文章中寫著"Not all cats are black." （不是所有的貓都是黑色的）
That would obviously be "false", okay? So the fact is opposite.
很明顯，這個陳述句是“錯誤”的，它和文章內容是相反的。
And, again, you have to look out for words like "all" versus "some", "often" versus "always".
同樣的，你們也要注意像"all"和"some"，以及"often"和"always"的對比。
This is how they trick you, so if it says, "All children should eat broccoli" -- if that's what the fact says.
考試的時候這里經常會有陷阱，假如陳述句寫著"All children should eat broccoli"（所有的孩子都應該吃西蘭花）。
In the statement...in the reading passage, if it says, "Some children should eat broccoli", this would be where you would write "false".
而文章中寫著"Some children should eat broccoli"（一些孩子應該吃西蘭花），那么這個時候你們就應該寫下”錯誤“。
So let's look at an example. Let me go to this side so you can see better.
我們來看個例題。我到那邊去，這樣你們就能看得更清楚了。
"The first personal computer was invented in the 1970s."
"The first personal computer was invented in the 1970s."（第一臺個人計算機是在二十世紀七十年代發明的）。
So this is what it says in the reading passage, it's a long passage, imagine, on personal computers, and you come to this section.
這是選自閱讀材料的一個句子，那份材料是篇很長的文章，你們可以想象一下，這是一篇關于個人計算機的文章，你們讀到了這一部分。
Now, you look at the fact afterwards. So you finish reading.
現在在讀完了文章之后，你們開始看文章后面的陳述句。
Here is the fact. "Personal computers were first invented in 1990."
這里有個陳述句："Personal computers were first invented in 1990." （私人計算機首次被發明出來是在1990年）。
Is this true, false, or not given? Well, what would I do?
這個句子是正確的、錯誤的還是文章中沒有提到的呢？我一般會怎么做？
First thing I would do -- and also I should point out, it's not good to read the passage first.
我會做的第一件事......不過我要說明白，先讀文章并不可取。
It's better, in my opinion, to look at the fact at the bottom of the passage and then look for information in the reading passage.
在我看來，你們最好先看看文章后面的陳述句，然后再回到文章中尋找信息。
This will save you some time. Now, let's do this how I would do it if I was doing the IELTS.
這樣會節約一些時間。現在，我們按照我做雅思試題的方法來操作一遍。
