Point No. 4: this is probably one of my favorite points.
第四點,這可能是我最喜歡的技巧之一。
During tests, this happens to all students, they will pick on answer; and then, they'll think about it; and they'll see another answer;
在考試期間,所有學生都有過這種經歷,他們會選擇一個答案,然后思考一會兒,又覺得是另一個答案,
and they'll want to change their answer; and they don't remember...they don't know, "Which one should I pick?" it's good to go with your first instinct.
他們會想要改寫答案,而不記得......他們不知道應該選擇哪一個,最好就是跟著第一直覺走。
So if you're doing multiple choice, and right off the bat you think, "Okay, the answer is A"; ‘
所以如果你們在做單選,你們剛開始會覺得“好的,答案是A”,
and then you look, and you think, "Okay, well, maybe the answer is C", if both of them seem like good possibilities, and you don't know,
然后你們又看了看,覺得“好吧,也許答案是C”,如果兩個答案看上去都很有可能是正確的,而你們不知道該怎么辦,
choose the one you thought of first.
那就選擇你們最開始考慮的那個答案吧。
Okay? Go with your gut feeling, go with your instinct.
知道了嗎?相信你們的直覺。
No. 5: questions often follow passage order, so what does this mean?
第五點:題目通常都是按照文章順序排布的,什么意思呢?
Well, it means that Question 1 will probably be somewhere near the top of the reading,
意思就是第一題的內容可能在閱讀材料最開始的部分附近,
Question 2 will be underneath Question 1 in the reading.
第二題在材料中第一題內容的下方。
So the questions...one will be at the top, then two, then three, then four, then five.
所以題目......第一題的內容會在最上面,然后第二題,然后第三題、第四題、第五題。
So it's important because if for example you find the answer for Question 2, it's very probable that the answer for Question 1 is above Question 2.
這很重要,因為......假設你們找到了第二題的答案,那很有可能第一題的答案就在第二題答案上面的內容里。
So it's very important that questions often, not always, but often follow passage order.
所以知道題目通常,不是一直這樣,但通常會按照文章順序排布很重要。
This can help you find answers for other questions.
這能幫助你們找到其他題目的答案。
My next tip for the reading is that it's very important to understand how paragraphs work.
我的下一個閱讀技巧是,弄懂段落結構非常重要。
What do I mean by that? I mean understanding specifically topic sentences.
這么說是什么意思?我的意思是要具體理解主題句。
There are a lot of questions in the IELTS, the reading module, where if you know what a topic sentence is,
雅思考試的閱讀部分有很多題目,如果你們知道主題句是什么的話,
it can help you find things a lot quicker, a lot easier.
它就能幫助你們更快更容易地找到信息。
So what is the topic sentence?
那么主題句是什么呢?
For every paragraph, there's usually one sentence that almost sums up the paragraph, it's the main idea of the paragraph.
每一段通常都有一句話幾乎總結了整個段落的內容,它包含了整段的主要思想。
Where do you find the topic sentence?
在哪里能找到主題句呢?
Not always, but usually, it's the first sentence, or it's at the beginning somewhere in the paragraph.
不是一直如此,但是通常是第一句話,或者在每段開頭的某個位置。
So this is a very good tip, especially for paragraph heading and matching questions.
這一個技巧非常好,尤其是在給段落定標題和配對題目中。
By understanding what a topic sentence is and where to find it, you will save a lot of time.
弄懂了主題句是什么并且知道該去哪里找到它,你們就能節省很多時間。
