My seventh tip is that you should really practice each question type.
我的第七个技巧是:你们需要老老实实地练习每一种类型的题目。
I've mentioned some different question types in this video,
我在这个视频中提到了一些不同类型的题目,
I just talked about paragraph heading and matching, multiple choice, short answers, True, False, Not Given.
我刚说过了给段落定标题和配对题目、单选、简答、“正确错误文中未提到”这些题目类型。
There are many different types of questions on the reading module of the IELTS.
雅思考试的阅读部分有很多不同类型的题目。
So it's very important that you get familiar with each of these questions, you practice each of these questions,
所以熟悉每一种题目非常重要,你们要练习每种题目,
so then, on test day, you feel more confident, more comfortable, and there are no surprises.
这样等到考试当天,你们会感觉更有信心,更自在,不会有意外之忧。
So practice a lot, practice each question type.
所以要多加练习,每种类型的题目都要练习。
My eighth tip is that... and this isn't just for the reading modules of the IELTS; it's for tests in general.
我的第八个技巧是......这不仅是针对雅思考试的阅读部分,一般考试都能用得上。
If you are doing a test where there are other people around, it's good not to practice only in your home.
如果你们参加考试的时候周围还有其他人,那你们最好不要只在自己家里练习。
On test day, when you're doing the reading module, there will be other people around you.
考试当天,你们在做阅读部分时,旁边会有其他人。
And if you're not used to taking tests with other people around you, you might get distracted.
而如果你们不习惯做题时旁边有人,那你们可能会受到干扰。
You might hear this person over there chewing their bubble gum,
你们可能会听到这边这个人嚼口香糖,
you might see that person over there crying because they have a very bad answer, and they're having difficulty on the IELTS.
看到那边那个人在哭,因为他考试发挥得不好,在考雅思时遇到了难题。
You can see all sorts of things in the room with you, and that could distract you.
你们在考场里会看到各种各样的事情,而那可能会干扰你。
So it's very, very important to get used to being distracted while you're taking the test.
所以习惯在考试的时候会受到干扰非常非常重要。
So what I recommend? Try to do the IELTS at a library, get a practice test; go to the library; do it there, try it on the bus, even.
我有什么建议?试着在图书馆做雅思练习题,拿上一套练习题去图书馆,在那里写,甚至还可以在公交车上试一试。
You can do it on different places so you're used to distractions so on test day, those distractions won't distract you.
你们可以在不同的地方试一试,这样你们在考试当天就会习惯所有干扰事项了,那些干扰就影响不了你了。
