网友:考官,能不能给我们一些可以提高雅思成绩的建议?
David: To advance from IELTS Band 5.0 to IELTS Band 6.0, or from Band 6.0 to Band 7.0 you will need to put in over 400 hours of intensive and serious study - in all skills for the test. You will need to do as much reading and listening (receptive skills) as possible and then get as much speaking and writing (productive skills) practice as possible. You need to do as many practice tests (real IELTS type tests - and there are many books of practice test available in good bookshops) as possible. When you have completed a listening or reading practice test, then go back and check the answers. Then find out where you made your mistakes. Then go back and do the test again. Then go back and listen again and again, and read the reading passages as many times as possible so that they are compeltely familiar. Learn new words - to extend your vocabulary. Focus on developing vocabulary for as many different topics as possible. Always make vocabulary lists and always write down all word forms - the noun, verb, adjective and adverb forms. Learn how to spell these words correctly. Try to learn at least 10 new words and word forms every day. Practice how to pronounce these words correctly - mark where the syllable stress is. Also go to my FREE and brilliant on-line program - www.australianetwork.com/studyenglish and do every single one of the 52 episodes! Do all the activities and quizzes. Watch as many films in English as possible - and television programs - CCTV 9. Read all the Englsih newspapers - especially those articles on topics which are IELTS relevant.
网友:有了半分制之后,这对大多数考生来说是好事还是坏事?
David:This development is good for candidates - you can get an extra .5 - which you could not get before!
网友:问您能不能谈一下雅思写作的第一篇文章改成图片题之后,有什么变化?还有评分标准?
David:Writing Task has NOT changed. It can be a graph, table, chart, process, procedure or a thing - which you have to descibe. The criteria have not and will not change - they are the same -
1. Task Response - did you answer the question as fully as possible 2. Cohesion and Coherence - did you organise you answer - at the essay level and at the sentence level 3. Lexical resource - is your vocabulary sufficient to be able to answer the question well and accurately 4. Grammatical Resource - do you have a range of sentences (Simple, Compound and Complex) and a range of grammatical structures (Active/Passive, Cause/Result, Conditional, Modals etc) (更多详情请继续关注《资深雅思官作客无忧雅思网》[一][三] ) |
