大家好,我是Emma,在今天的課上,我要教你們在雅思考試的閱讀部分取勝的一些非常好的技巧。
So this video is for anyone who is taking the IELTS, this video will really help you learn about some of the question types and how to do well on them.
所以這個視頻是為所有參加雅思考試的人量身定做的,這個視頻會幫助你們了解一些類型的題目,并且幫助你們取得好成績。
So let's get started.
那我們就開始吧。
My very first tip is very important.
我的第一個建議非常重要。
When you're practicing doing the IELTS, when you're preparing for the IELTS, one way to prepare is to start learning synonyms.
當你們練習做雅思試題,當你們為雅思做準備時,其中一個準備方法就是開始學習"synonym" (同義詞)。
Now, what's a "synonym"?
那么“synonym”是什么呢?
A "synonym" is a copy of another word where the meanings are the same, but the words are different.
"synonym"就是另一個單詞的復本,也就是它們的意思是一樣的,但單詞不同。
So an example: "intelligent" and "smart", these are synonyms, they have the same meaning, but they're different words.
給你們舉個例子:"intelligent"和"smart",這兩個單詞是同義詞,它們的意思相同,但是是不同的單詞。
Now, why should you learn different synonyms for the IELTS?
為什么準備雅思考試的時候要學習各種同義詞呢?
Well, one very good reason is oftentimes, on the IELTS you will have a text or a reading passage,
一個很好的原因是,通常在雅思考試中會有文章或者閱讀材料,
and then, after that you will have a bunch of questions.
然后在那之后會有一堆題目。
Now, sometimes, in the questions, you need to look for certain information in the reading passage.
有時候,要回答問題,你們需要在閱讀材料中找到特定信息。
So you read a question, and you need to find the answer in the reading passage.
你們看完題目,然后需要在閱讀材料中找到答案。
Now, one way to do this is looking at keywords, you might see a keyword in the question.
找到答案的一個方法是看關鍵詞,你們在題干中可能會看見一個關鍵詞。
And you're looking for that same word in the reading passage,
你們在閱讀材料中要找的是同樣的單詞,
but they often don't use the same words in the question and the reading passage.
但是通常題干和閱讀材料不會使用一模一樣的單詞。
Oftentimes, they will use synonyms, so for example, maybe in the question the keyword is "intelligent".
通常,他們會使用同義詞,比如,也許題干中的關鍵詞是"intelligent"。
In the reading passage, the word that you'll actually need to find is "smart".
而在閱讀材料中,你們真正要找的那個單詞是"smart"。
So by knowing synonyms, you'll be able to do the questions a lot faster, and you'll be able to find information faster.
所以認識了同義詞,你們的做題速度就會快得多,就能更快地找到信息。
And on the IELTS, time is very important, so you want to be able to do things very quickly.
在雅思考試中,時間非常寶貴,所以你們的動作要非常快。
