Especially in the third and final part of the listening test, it gets increasingly difficult.
尤其是在听力考试的第三部分和最后一部分,题目会越来越难。
So, it's also very likely that you don't know the nouns that they're talking about.
所以,也很可能你们不认识他们讲到的名词。
It could be a scientific or academic context that they're talking about.
他们讲到的上下文可能是关于科学或学术性的。
It could be a really unusual noun that you've never heard before.
可能是个你们之前从没听说过的很不常见的名词。
All right? That's okay, because as long as you know that you're listening out for a noun, because you look at the question,
知道了吗?这没关系,因为只要你们知道自己要注意听的是一个名词就行了,因为你们可以看看题目,
if there is a word that you don't know but you know it's a noun because it had "the" before it, or "a" before it, that's probably your answer.
如果有个你们不认识的单词,但是你们知道它是个名词,因为前面有个"the"或者"a",那可能就是你们的答案了。
So don't be too scared when you're hearing words, like: "I don't know what that means, I don't know what it means",
所以听到像“我不知道那是什么意思,我不知道它是什么意思”的单词时不要太害怕,
because you're not supposed to know what every word means.
因为你们本就不必知道每个单词的意思。
You're just supposed to be able to, you know, magically find the answer by knowing...knowing where a noun comes in a sentence, basically.
基本上,你们只是应该能够......通过知道一个句子中哪里应该出现名词来神奇地找到答案。
What else to say? Synonyms: your knowledge of synonyms will be useful and important in the text...in the test.
还有什么要说的?同义词,你们对同义词的了解在考试中会很有用的,而且也很重要。
So, when you're listening, you might hear the word "suitcase", but on the answer paper, the word "luggage" may be written.
你们在听录音的时候,可能会听到"suitcase"这个单词,但是在答题纸上也许写着"luggage"这个单词。
And the same for "reservation" and "booking" and "holiday" and "vacation".
同样的还有"reservation"和"booking","holiday" 和 "vacation"。
So, know that when you're listening, you're not necessarily trying to find the exact word; you'll be trying to find something similar.
听材料的时候要知道这一点,你们不用费力找到同样的单词,要试着找到相似的单词。
And here is the IELTS trick that they love to do: someone will be talking, and they'll give the answer, whatever the answer is, I can't improvise.
现在我要告诉你们一个他们在雅思考试中喜欢耍的小手段:某个人会在讲话,然后会给出答案,无论那个答案是什么,我临时想不出来。
"Yes, I'd like to book a room for, for...I'd like to book a table for two on Monday. Yes, that's great.
比如他们会这么说:“是的,我想预定一个房间......我想预定一个周一的两个人的位置,是的,很好。
Oh, no. Actually, I've changed my mind. On Tuesday next week."
哦,不,事实上我改主意了,我要订下周二的。”
Maybe I said the same day, but this is what they do: they say the answer, and then they take it back.
也许我说的是同一天,但是是这样的:他们会说出答案,然后又收回。
So...so sometimes, you think you've found the answer, and you write it down, so just be aware of that IELTS trick.
所以......所以有时候你们会以为自己找到了正确答案,然后把它写下来,所以一定要注意雅思考试里的这个圈套。
