It's very important to leave yourself time to transfer your answers from your test paper to the answer sheet.
留有足够的时间把答案从试卷誊写到答题卡上是很重要的。
A lot of students, they work through the booklet and then they realize there's no time to transfer their answers, so make sure you leave time for this.
很多学生在写完试卷之后才发现没有时间把答案抄到答题卡上了,所以你们一定要确保留有足够的时间誊写答案。
Okay, my fifth tip is a very, very common error students make: three words or less.
第五个诀窍是个学生们经常会犯的错误:不超过三个单词。
In the reading section, also in the listening, in the instructions you will also... or you will often see the words: "Write three words or less."
在阅读部分的答题要求中,实际上听力部分也有,你们也会......你们经常会看见这句话:“不超过三个单词。”
They mean: write three words or less. A lot of students write too many words here.
这句话的意思就是:不要写超过三个单词。但很多学生还是会写很多个单词。
So, for example: if I'm doing a reading on archeology and, you know, I have to write an answer and my answer is: "the tomb of the Pharaoh", for example. This is a Pharaoh, if you don't know, ancient Egypt.
举个例子来说,假如我正在做一篇关于考古学的阅读理解,然后我要回答一个问题,比如说答案是" the tomb of the Pharaoh"。以防你们不知道,这个就是一个古埃及的法老。
If the instructions tell me: "write three words or less", and my answer is: "the tomb of the Pharaoh", I've written way too many words.
如果答题要求写着“答案不得超过三个单词”,而我的答案是" the tomb of the Pharaoh",那我就多写了太多单词了。
I've written one, two, three, four, five, so that's too many. So I would get this wrong on the IELTS, get a big "X".
我写了1、2、3、4、5,5个单词,这就太多了。所以如果我在参加雅思考试的话,就做错了,会得个大大的" X"。
Even though my answer was right, because I didn't follow the instructions and I wrote too many words, I'm going to get it wrong.
即使我的答案没有错,但是因为我没有按照考试要求作答,写了太多单词,这一题还是没有分。
So what would be the correct answer in this case is: "the Pharaoh's tomb".
那么按照要求来说这一题的正确答案是" the Pharaoh's tomb"。
This is three words. So in this example, that would be correct, we haven't gone over three words.
只有三个单词。所以,在这个例子中这才是正确的答案,写的单词没有超过三个。
Also, I could write for these questions maybe one word or maybe two words.
同样的,对于这些问题,也可以写一个或者两个单词。可以写一个、两个或者三个单词,但是一定不能超过三个。这个错误十分常见。
I can write one, two, or three words - no more than that. Very common mistake.
可以写一个、两个或者三个单词,但是一定不能超过三个。这个错误十分常见。
