无忧雅思:各位无忧雅思的网友,大家好!在这个下雨的凉爽下午我们又相遇在无忧雅思聊天室。今天做客的嘉宾是悉尼科技大学Insearch学院资深雅思考官、教师培训官MR.David Larbalestier。欢迎您的到来。今天要交流的话题是写作口语如何多考半分?请大家踊跃提问!
David:Hi IELTS lovers all over China! I have finally returned to Beijing! It is great to be back - despite the temperature and now a heavy rain storm! Awaiting all IELTS questions - so fire away! David Larbalestier INSEARCH UTS
网友:写作考生得6分还是6.5分或者得7分还是7.5分,考官是如何判定的?多0.5分或者少0.5分,主要是区别在哪里?
David:From July, IELTS will enable candidates to get .5 scores in Speaking and Writing. There are 4 criteria which the examiner uses when determining the band score for Speaking and Writing. The examiner gives a band score for each of the criteria. The IELTS computer system determines from these 4 band scores the final band for that test.
无忧雅思:写作和口语考试的分数引入半分制,对整个雅思考试有什么影响?
David:Beking able now to get .5 band scores in Speaking and Writing means that candidates can get a higher score than before! Before it was only possible to get a whole score. Now if a canddate is a little better then it is possible to get a slightly higher score!
无忧雅思:写作和口语考试的分数引入半分制。这样的调整,会带来广大考生带来怎样的影响呢?
David:This development whill mean that examiners will have to be more precise. There is on-going monitioring of all IELTS examiners, and this will be more stringent from now on! This makes our job more onerous! Being able now to get .5 band scores in Speaking and Writing means that candidates can get a higher score than before! Before it was only possible to get a whole score. Now if a canddate is a little better then it is possible to get a slightly higher score!
无忧雅思:写作成绩引入半分制,那考生应该怎样学习才能抓住这半分呢?
David:The examienrs and the IELTS system will give you an extra .5. Candidates do not have to do anything more than before - just sit back, do your best (as before) and expect to get .5 more! Everyone continues to do the same as before - but from now on the IELTS computer system will enable candidates to get .5 more - ONLY if they deserve it!
无忧雅思:同样口语成绩引入半分后,考生又该如何学习抓住这半分呢?
David:As stated already - in several emails, just do your best. If you deserve to get .5 extra then you will be given it! You don't "catch" it - IELTS will give it to you - but only if you should get it!
网友:暑假马上到了,我要如何计划我的雅思复习?计划明年九月出国.
