Okay. So this is still body.
接下来还是关于身体的。
During the test, when you have a few extra seconds, maybe between sections, between questions in the listening section, etcetera, close your eyes, breathe, just calm yourself down, relax.
考试过程中,也许在各个部分之间、在听力部分的不同问题之间会有几秒钟的间隔时间,这时候请闭上双眼,深呼吸,让自己镇静下来,放轻松。
Remember, at the end of the day, if you didn't do well on the test today, you take it again next week or the week after that, you can do it again. Relax.
记住,考试结束之后,如果这次考得不好,你们下周或者下下周还可以继续考,你们还有机会,所以,别紧张。
Close your eyes, if they're burning, close them, relax, get a little bit of energy back, move on.
闭上双眼,如果你们的双眼滚烫,请闭上眼睛放轻松,找回一点精力,然后继续做题。
Same idea, if you have a chance, stretch.
同样的,有机会就伸展一下你们的身体。
Don't be afraid to waste-if you want to call it that-take a minute of your time to stretch.
不要担心会浪费时间(如果你们想这么认为的话),花一分钟伸展一下全身。
Arms up, do whatever you have to do, don't get up and walk around, I don't think they'll be very happy about that, but as much as you can, stretch.
把胳膊举起来,做任何能做的动作,不过不要站起来四处走动,我想考官不会容忍你们这么做的,但是在允许范围内,尽量伸展你们的身体。
Legs, arms, neck, whatever you need to do.
双腿、胳膊、脖子,任何需要的部位都可以动一动。
A strong, healthy body helps you do better on a test, it actually helps you save time, believe it or not. Okay, this is one thing.
一个健康强壮的体魄会帮助你们在考试中取得更好的成绩,信不信由你们,这实际上还能帮你们节约时间。好了,这是一件事。
Most importantly, your mind.
最重要的一件事就是你们的思维。
We need to train your mind, it's not all about English. Okay?
我们需要对思维进行训练,不仅仅只是关于英语方面。
The IELTS test, the TOEFL test, etcetera, these are called standardized tests, it means they're always going to be the same structure.
雅思考试、托福考试等等都被称为标准化考试,也就是说它们通常都会保持同样的结构。
They're always going to be about the same time, the same set up, the same types of questions. Okay? Know them.
它们一般持续的时间、试题设置和问题类型都是一样的。好好了解一下,好吗?
So, how we... do we train your body? Practice. I cannot stress this enough, practice, practice, practice every single day.
那么,我们要如何训练呢?练习!这个问题我怎么强调都不够,每一天都要练习,练习,练习。
What do you practice? Excuse me. Practice your listening and speaking as much as you can.
练习的内容是什么呢?练习你们的听力和口语,越多越好。
The easiest thing to practice is your listening. Okay?
其中最好练习的就是听力了。
TV, music videos, YouTube, internet, like, English is everywhere, very, very easy to practice your listening. Okay?
电视、音乐视频、YouTube和网络上到处都是英语,想要练习听力真的非常非常简单。
Practice your vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. Learn vocabulary. You need a lot of words for this test.
练习你们的词汇量。学新词,学新词,学新词!你们在雅思考试中会需要大量的词汇。
Practice your skills, note taking skills, paraphrasing skills, just writing skills.
练习你们的技巧,做笔记的技巧、释义技巧和写作技巧。
Notice I wrote this here, "write legibly".
