Okay. So now, let us look at "false". What does it mean if you write "false"?
现在，我们来看看“错误”，如果你们写了”错误“是什么意思呢？
Okay. Now, let's talk about "false". What does it mean to be "false" in this section of the IELTS?
我们来讲讲”错误“，在雅思考试的这个部分，”错误“是什么意思呢？
If you write "false" for the fact at the bottom after the reading passage, it means you're saying the fact is opposite.
如果你们在阅读材料后面的陈述句旁边写了”错误“，这就是说你们认为这个句子跟文章内容是相反的。
So if you read the reading passage, you read the fact, the fact says, "All cats are black."
假如你们看了文章，也看了这个陈述句，陈述句写着"All cats are black."（所有的猫都是黑色的）
The reading passage says, "Not all cats are black."
而文章中写着"Not all cats are black." （不是所有的猫都是黑色的）
That would obviously be "false", okay? So the fact is opposite.
很明显，这个陈述句是“错误”的，它和文章内容是相反的。
And, again, you have to look out for words like "all" versus "some", "often" versus "always".
同样的，你们也要注意像"all"和"some"，以及"often"和"always"的对比。
This is how they trick you, so if it says, "All children should eat broccoli" -- if that's what the fact says.
考试的时候这里经常会有陷阱，假如陈述句写着"All children should eat broccoli"（所有的孩子都应该吃西兰花）。
In the statement...in the reading passage, if it says, "Some children should eat broccoli", this would be where you would write "false".
而文章中写着"Some children should eat broccoli"（一些孩子应该吃西兰花），那么这个时候你们就应该写下”错误“。
So let's look at an example. Let me go to this side so you can see better.
我们来看个例题。我到那边去，这样你们就能看得更清楚了。
"The first personal computer was invented in the 1970s."
"The first personal computer was invented in the 1970s."（第一台个人计算机是在二十世纪七十年代发明的）。
So this is what it says in the reading passage, it's a long passage, imagine, on personal computers, and you come to this section.
这是选自阅读材料的一个句子，那份材料是篇很长的文章，你们可以想象一下，这是一篇关于个人计算机的文章，你们读到了这一部分。
Now, you look at the fact afterwards. So you finish reading.
现在在读完了文章之后，你们开始看文章后面的陈述句。
Here is the fact. "Personal computers were first invented in 1990."
这里有个陈述句："Personal computers were first invented in 1990." （私人计算机首次被发明出来是在1990年）。
Is this true, false, or not given? Well, what would I do?
这个句子是正确的、错误的还是文章中没有提到的呢？我一般会怎么做？
First thing I would do -- and also I should point out, it's not good to read the passage first.
我会做的第一件事......不过我要说明白，先读文章并不可取。
It's better, in my opinion, to look at the fact at the bottom of the passage and then look for information in the reading passage.
在我看来，你们最好先看看文章后面的陈述句，然后再回到文章中寻找信息。
This will save you some time. Now, let's do this how I would do it if I was doing the IELTS.
这样会节约一些时间。现在，我们按照我做雅思试题的方法来操作一遍。
