考生最易犯的五类错误
Everyone makes mistakes!
每人都会犯错!
Even the most prepared person can make simple errors on test day and lose valuable marks.
哪怕是准备最好的人在考试当天都可能犯最简单的错误,丢失宝贵的分数。
Let’s take a look at the 5 most common mistakes so you don’t fall into the same traps.
让我们看看5类最常见错误,避免你重蹈覆辙。
Not reading the question properly.
没有仔细审题。
Don’t think this applies to you?
你觉得这是不是你的情況?
Think again: In any test, have you ever written a few words over the set word limit?
再回想一下:在以前任何考试中,你是否超出过了字数限制?
Or maybe you’ve provided two answers when only one is required, and just hoped for the best?
或者虽然只有一个问题,你却给了两个答案,希望能猜中一个?
In both instances, your answer would be marked as incorrect because you didn’t follow the instructions!
以上两个情形中,你的回答都会被算作错误,因为你没有按照要求作答!
So make sure you read the question and stick to what you’re being asked to do.
一定要仔细审题严格按照要求作答。
Changing the subject in the Writing test.
在写作测试中改变主题。
No matter how well structured your work is, you still won’t get a good score if your writing is off topic.
无论你的作文有多么好的结构,如果你的写作跑题了,仍然不会拿高分。
To avoid this situation, ensure you stick to the subject.
为避免这种情况,务必紧扣主题。
Not pronouncing words correctly.
发音错误。
As a test of international English, IELTS does not take off marks if you have an accent.
作为一个国际英语测试,雅思考试不会因为你有口音而给你扣分。
Your accent is not important, but your pronunciation is!
你的口音不重要,但你的发音很重要!
So, for example, for the word ‘probably’ don’t say probly or prolly.
比如,你把‘probably’发成了probly或者prolly时,就会被扣分。
Make sure you practice and test your pronunciation with some English speakers before the test.
你一定要好好练习,并在考试之前让说英语的人测试你的英语发音。
Repeating the question that was asked when answering in the Speaking test.
口语测试时,重复问题。
Don’t be a parrot!
不要鹦鹉学舌!
For example when the question is, “Who’s your favourite actress of all time?”
比如,当考官问你,“你有史以来最喜欢的女演员是谁?”
You shouldn’t answer with, “My favourite actress of all time is Marilyn Monroe”, this is because you are not showing your range of English - you’re just copying the question.
你不应该回答“我有史以来最喜欢的女演员是玛丽莲?梦露。”因为这样说就显示不了你的英语词汇量。——你不应该重复问题中的语句。
A better answer would be, “I love movies, and I think Marilyn Monroe was a fantastic actress”.
更好的回答是:“我喜爱电影,我认为玛丽莲?梦露是一位杰出的女演员。”。
So remember to show off the many different English words you know.
总之,请记住在考试中尽量展示你所知道的英语词汇。
Leaving blank answers.
不回答问题。
In both your Listening and Reading tests make sure you provide answers – even if you have to make a guess.
在做听力和阅读时,一定要回答所有的问题——哪怕你是猜的。
You won’t lose marks for incorrect answers and you might just surprise yourself by getting some correct!
不会因为答案错误而倒扣分,而且如果猜对了,不是皆大欢喜么!
Take note of these common mistakes, and you will be well on your way towards improving your IELTS band score.
