Point number two: get used to British English.
第二點(diǎn):要習(xí)慣英式英語(yǔ)。
A large part of the IELTS, you will be listening... For... For... Sorry, for the listening, you will be listening to British accents.
在雅思考試的聽力部分中,有很多時(shí)候你們都將會(huì)聽到英國(guó)口音。
Sometimes you might hear Australian accents or Canadian, you might hear a range, but a lot of the accents will be British.
偶爾你們也許還會(huì)聽到澳大利亞或者加拿大口音,也許會(huì)聽到很多不同的口音,但大部分都會(huì)是英式英語(yǔ)。
So it's very important to get used to listening to British accents.
所以習(xí)慣聽英式口音非常重要。
And also, listen to other accents like Canadian, Australian; that's a good idea too.
另外,聽一聽像加拿大和澳大利亞之類的其他口音也不錯(cuò)。
Where can you find British accents to listen to? I recommend the BBC.
你們?cè)谀睦锬苷业接⑹接⒄Z(yǔ)用來(lái)訓(xùn)練聽力?我推薦BBC。
They have a lot of great videos there and most of it's with British accents, so it's a very good idea so you can practice listening.
BBC上有很多很棒的視頻,而且大部分都是英式英語(yǔ),所以對(duì)你們來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)是很好的練習(xí)聽力的材料。
The more you practice listening with British accents, the easier it will be to understand British speakers.
你們練習(xí)聽英式英語(yǔ)的次數(shù)越多,要聽懂英國(guó)講話人閱讀的內(nèi)容就越容易。
Especially if you're used to American English, this is a very good thing to do.
尤其是對(duì)那些習(xí)慣了美國(guó)口音的人來(lái)說(shuō),這是很有效果的。
Related to this point: British vocab. You should learn British vocabulary.
下一點(diǎn)跟這一點(diǎn)也有關(guān)系,那就是:英式英語(yǔ)詞匯。你們應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)一些英式英語(yǔ)中使用的詞匯。
For example: in American English and Canadian English, we say: "truck".
比如說(shuō),在美式英語(yǔ)和加拿大英語(yǔ)中,我們說(shuō)“卡車”時(shí)用的是"truck"。
In British English, we say: "lorry".
但是英式英語(yǔ)中用的卻是"lorry"。
So it's good to know some of these British expressions, some British words.
所以了解一些這樣的英式表達(dá),一些英式英語(yǔ)單詞,還是不錯(cuò)的。
One idea where you can practice these is if you check out our website: www.engvid.com,
你們可以練習(xí)這些的一個(gè)辦法就是,你們可以去engvid
we have a new teacher who is British and who will be talking about British English, so check out her... her videos.
網(wǎng)站上找到我們一個(gè)新來(lái)的老師,她是英國(guó)人,講課的內(nèi)容也是關(guān)于英式英語(yǔ)的,所以你們可以去看看她的視頻。
It will also be good to help you with practicing listening to British accents.
這也能幫助你們練習(xí)聽英式口音。
Number four: spelling counts. Okay? Very important.
第四點(diǎn):拼寫也是要算分的,知道嗎?這一點(diǎn)很重要。
The listening part of the IELTS is not just listening; you're actually using other skills like writing and reading.
雅思考試的聽力部分考察的不僅是聽力,實(shí)際上你們?cè)谶@個(gè)部分還會(huì)用到像讀寫這樣的其他技能。
Now, with writing, when you write down your answers, you sometimes have to spell something out, so you have to be very, very careful with spelling. Okay?
說(shuō)到寫,當(dāng)你們寫下答案的時(shí)候,有時(shí)候必須把單詞拼寫出來(lái),所以你們?cè)谄磳憜卧~的時(shí)候一定要非常非常仔細(xì)。
This is something you should really study and practice before you take the listening part of the IELTS.
這是在做雅思考試聽力部分之前,你們應(yīng)該好好學(xué)習(xí)并練習(xí)的內(nèi)容。
Practice your spelling. Learn spelling rules.
練習(xí)你們的拼寫,學(xué)一些拼寫規(guī)則。
We have a lot of different videos on how to spell on engVid, so I would come and check those ones out.
我們?cè)趀ngvid網(wǎng)站上有很多關(guān)于如何拼寫單詞的不同視頻,我希望你們能去看看。
