如何准备雅思考试--Preparation

IELTS备考资料杭州朗思教育如何准备雅思考试--PreparationThe following study hints will help you in the weeks leading up to the IELTS.Become familiar with the test as early as possible. The skills being tested in the IELTS take a period of time to build up. Cramming is not an effective study technique for IELTS.Use your study time efficiently. Study when you are fresh and, after you have planned a timetable, make sure that you keep to it. Set goals and ensure that you have adequate breaks. In the IELTS test, each of the four Band Modules — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — carries the same weight. Study each skill carefully and spend more time on the skills in which you feel you are weak.Be aware of the exact procedure for the test. Be very clear on the order of each section, its length and the specific question types. There are many resources available to help you practice these skills.Having a study partner or a study group is an excellent idea. Other students may raise issues that you may not have considered.Seek help from teachers, friends and native English speakers.Countdown to the testDays before the testThis is not a time for intensive study. It is a time to review skills and your test technique. It is important to exercise, eat, rest and sleep well during the week in which you will take the test.Leave nothing to chance. If you do not know how to get to the test centre, try going there at a similar time one or two weeks before the real test.The night before the testYou must have a good dinner and go to bed at your normal time — not too early and not too late, as you do not want to disrupt your sleep pattern if possible.Have everything ready that you need to take with you to the test so you can simply pick it up in the morning, for example, the test registration form, passport, test number, pens, pencils, erasers, etc. A pen that runs dry or a pencil that breaks can take several minutes to replace. Check before the exam exactly what articles you need. Set your alarm clock the night before or arrange a wake-up call.On the morning of the testEat a good breakfast. You will have several hours of concentration ahead of you and you will need food and drink in the morning. You may even want to bring more food or a snack with you, especially if your speaking test is at a later time that day. You cannot, however, take food or drink into the exam room. If possible, wear a watch in case you cannot see the clock in the exam room. It is essential that you keep track of time.Give yourself plenty of time to get to the test centre. You will be required to complete a registration form and to show your passport before you enter the examination room so you must arrive at the time specified by your test centre. If you are early, you could go for a walk. If you are late, you will not be allowed to enter. Avoid the added tension of having to rush.During the testMost students at the test will feel nervous. This is quite normal. In fact, it can actually be quite helpful in terms of motivation. It may make you alert and help you to focus. The aim is for you to try to perform at your optimum level.In contrast, high levels of anxiety can affect a student’s performance. However, much of this anxiety can be overcome by good preparation, familiarity with test details and a positive attitude.The examination room should be suitable for testing, that is, the lighting, ventilation and temperature should be appropriate. If you are uncomfortable because of any of these factors or if there is some other problem, such as not being able to hear the recording of the Listening Module, make sure you ask the person in charge to do something about it. For example, you may ask to change seats.The listening testBefore each listening section is played, read the questions through quickly. The vocabulary (and any diagrams) will give you some idea of what you are about to hear.Note what kinds of questions you must answer: filling in numbers, choosing a desc ription, finding the speaker’s opinion. You will then make the most of what you hear, because you will know what to listen for.The reading testYou have one hour to answer question on 3 sections, so divide up your time - perhaps 15 minutes for the first section, 20 minutes for the second section, and 25 minutes for the third section (the sections get harder as you go on, so you might to spend more time on the last one).As a general strategy, do not start by reading the passage. You do not yet know what information you are looking for, and you will waste precious time if you try to read and understand everything.Firstly, read the heading of the text. This will give you a very general idea of what the passage is about.Secondly, quickly read through the questions. How many questions are there relating to this text? What kind of questions are they? (sentence completion, diagram completion ...). This will help you focus when you read the text, as you will have some idea what to look for.Thirdly, turn to the reading passage, and read it through quickly. The purpose here is to get a general understanding of the passage - you do not need to understand every detail.Finally, turn again to the questions and begin to work through them, referring back to the passage when you need to, and reading important sections carefully and slowly.If at any time you cannot answer a question, or it is taking you a long time, leave it and come back to it at the end.The writing testWrite in pencil (not pen, if allowed), as it is easier to rewrite. Bring several pencils to the test with you.Do not write a rough draft, then re-write it. You will waste valuable time.Use time at the end to check for small errors: verb agreements, plurals, punctuation, verb tense. These things are easily corrected and affect what mark your work will receive.The speaking testTalk to your friends in English while you are waiting for your interview.Do not simply answer the examiner’s q uestions; elaborate on your answers. Talk as much as possible. This is not rude; the examiner needs to hear you talk a lot, so (s)he can find out your proficiency lever.You will find it easier to talk if you have something to say. Think about your opinions and your reasons for holding them. Think about your plans and why you have made them. Think of important / funny / exciting things that have happened to you and be ready to talk about them.Phase 3 of the test requires you to ask questions. Don’t be embarrassed about this. Use all the hints on the card you are given, and any other ideas you can think of.Examination techniqueBy using good examination technique you could help to improve your overall score for the IELTS test.Remember that every section is marked independently. Do not jeopardise your performance in one section just because you believe that you have done badly in another. Do not underestimate or try to predict your outcome. You may, in fact, have done better than you imagined.Focus on what you know rather than on what you don’t know while you are doing the test.Ensure that you adhere to the times suggested as they usually correspond to the number of marks given for a particular question.In the Listening and Reading Modules, it is a good idea to write down an answer, even if you are not sure of it, before moving on to the next question. Many students intend to return to the answers they have omitted at the end of the test but do not have enough time to do so. Furthermore, by writing your best answer at the actual time of reading the question, you save the time you need to spend again on re-reading the question and re-acquainting yo。

如何准备雅思复习计划

如何准备雅思复习计划雅思考试是一项全球广泛认可的英语语言能力测试，对于想要出国留学、移民或者在国内谋求更好发展的人来说，取得理想的雅思成绩至关重要。

然而，要在雅思考试中取得好成绩并非易事，需要制定科学合理的复习计划并严格执行。

下面就来详细介绍一下如何准备雅思复习计划。

一、了解雅思考试在制定复习计划之前，首先要对雅思考试有一个全面的了解。

雅思考试分为听力、阅读、写作和口语四个部分，每个部分都有不同的题型和要求。

听力部分主要考查考生对各种口音和场景下的英语听力理解能力，包括填空题、选择题等。

阅读部分则需要考生在规定时间内快速阅读并理解长篇文章，回答各种问题，如判断题、匹配题等。

写作部分包括一篇小作文（图表描述等）和一篇大作文（议论文等），要求考生具备清晰的逻辑思维和准确的语言表达能力。

口语部分是与考官进行面对面的交流，考查考生的日常交流能力、语言组织能力和发音等。

此外，还需要了解雅思考试的评分标准、考试时间、考试形式等基本信息，以便有针对性地进行复习。

二、评估自身水平了解完雅思考试后，接下来要对自己的英语水平进行评估。

可以通过做一套雅思真题或者参加模拟考试来了解自己在各个部分的大致水平，找出自己的优势和薄弱环节。

比如，如果在听力部分得分较低，可能是因为对某些口音不熟悉或者听力技巧不足；如果在写作部分表现不佳，可能是语法错误较多或者思路不够清晰。

只有清楚地了解自己的现状，才能制定出更加合理有效的复习计划。

三、确定目标分数根据自己的留学、移民或者工作需求，确定一个合理的雅思目标分数。

目标分数要既具有挑战性又切实可行。

如果目标过高，可能会给自己带来过大的压力，导致复习效果不佳；如果目标过低，则无法满足实际需求。

同时，要注意不同院校、专业或者移民项目对雅思分数的具体要求可能会有所不同，例如有些学校可能对写作和口语部分有单独的小分要求。

四、制定复习计划1、听力复习（1）每天坚持进行听力练习，可以选择听雅思真题、BBC、CNN 等英语广播或者看英语电影、电视剧。

如何做好出国准备英语作文

如何做好出国准备英语作文Preparing to Study Abroad。

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience that offers countless opportunities for personal and academic growth. However, to make the most of this experience, it is essential to be well-prepared. In this article, we will explore the key steps to effectively prepare for studying abroad.First and foremost, it is crucial to research and choose the right destination for your study abroad experience. Consider factors such as the language spoken, cultural differences, academic programs offered, and the overall cost of living. It is also important to take into account your personal preferences and goals. Do you prefer a bustling city or a quieter town? Are you interested in a specific field of study that is well-represented in a particular country? Answering these questions will help you narrow down your options and make an informed decision.Once you have chosen your destination, the next step is to research and apply to suitable universities or educational institutions. Start by looking into the admission requirements and deadlines for international students. Familiarize yourself with the application process and gather all the necessary documents, such as academic transcripts, recommendation letters, and a well-written personal statement. It is advisable to start this process well in advance to ensure a smooth application experience.In addition to academic preparations, it is important to consider the financial aspect of studying abroad. Create a budget that includes tuition fees, accommodation, transportation, living expenses, and any other costs you may incur. Research scholarships, grants, and other financial aid options that may be available tointernational students. It is also recommended to set up a savings plan and explore part-time job opportunities in your chosen destination to support yourself financially during your studies.Language proficiency is another crucial aspect of preparing for studying abroad. Most international universities require proof of English language proficiency, such as TOEFL or IELTS scores. If English is not your first language, it is important to dedicate time to improve your language skills. Enroll in English language courses, practice speaking and writing regularly, and immerse yourself in English-speaking environments to enhance your fluency. This will not only help you academically but also facilitate your daily life and interactions in your host country.Cultural adaptation is an integral part of studying abroad. Each country has its own unique culture, customs, and social norms. To ensure a smooth transition, it is beneficial to learn about the cultural practices and etiquette of your host country. Familiarize yourself with local traditions, holidays, and taboos. This knowledge will not only help you navigate social situations but also show respect for the local culture and foster meaningful connections with people from different backgrounds.Health and safety considerations should not be overlooked when preparing to study abroad. Research the healthcare system in your host country and ensure that you have adequate health insurance coverage. Consult with your doctor to ensure you are up to date with any necessary vaccinations. Familiarize yourself with emergency contact numbers and local safety precautions. It is also advisableto register with your country's embassy or consulate inyour host country to receive important updates and assistance if needed.Packing for your study abroad journey requires careful planning and organization. Consider the climate of yourhost country and pack accordingly. Make a checklist of essential items such as clothing, toiletries, electronics, and any academic materials you may need. It is also recommended to carry important documents such as your passport, visa, and copies of your academic transcripts ina secure and easily accessible manner. Additionally, don't forget to pack sentimental items or small gifts from your home country to share with new friends you will meet abroad.Lastly, mental and emotional preparation is vital for a successful study abroad experience. Leaving your familiar surroundings and venturing into a new country can be both exciting and challenging. It is important to keep an open mind, embrace new experiences, and be prepared to step outof your comfort zone. Stay connected with family andfriends back home through regular communication, but also make an effort to build a support network in your host country. Join student organizations, participate incultural events, and engage in activities that interest you to meet like-minded individuals and create lasting memories.In conclusion, preparing to study abroad requirescareful planning and consideration of various aspects. By researching your destination, applying to suitable institutions, managing finances, improving language skills, understanding the local culture, ensuring health and safety, packing wisely, and preparing mentally and emotionally, you can set yourself up for a rewarding and transformativestudy abroad experience.。

雅思小作文自我检查列表

雅思小作文自我检查列表对于自己复习的雅思考生，在雅思写作的过程中最难提高的是没有人帮助修改，不知道作文写了哪里有错误，下面为大家分享一名雅思考官曾经写过的作文修改列表，备考雅思的同学对着这个列表修改小作文，可以在一定程度上有所提升。

A checklist for part 1 graphs, charts and tablesIn task 1 it is important that you accurately describe the information from the diagram so you don’t lose marks under Task Response. The difficulty is to decide what is the key information as there is often a lot of data to process. One way of thinking about this, is to ask yourself if someone could draw the chart and graph from the information in your report. This is not easy to do and so to help you, you will find below a 8 point checklist, an exercise and a practice suggestion.雅思作文检查列表ChecklistHere is my 8 point checklist to help you include the relevant details. I suggest you use it to check your own work: you should be able to answer “yes”to all the questions.1. Type of diagram 图表类型Have you correctly identified whether it is a bar chart/line graph/pie chart/flow chart/table?有没有说清楚这个一个什么样的图表----柱状图?线图?饼图?还是流程图?2. The correct tense 时态Have you correctly identified whether the data in the chart relates to past time, a current state of affairs or a future prediction? This includes not just using the correct tenses but also including specific times in your report.有没有运用正确的时态呢?要记住，不止要用对时态，还要再小作文中写清具体的时间!3. The subjects 对象Have you included all the subjects that are referred to in the diagram? Even if you have a bar chart ortable naming 8 different countries for example, you still need to refer to them all in your report.所有图表中所提到的对象都写进小作文了吗?如果图表里提到8个国家，全部都要写进去哦~4. UnitsHave you included references to the units? These may be units of time (months/years etc), money (millions of £) or simple numbers (10,000s). To do this, you need to read the x and y axes carefully.单位写清楚了吗?X轴和Y轴上的单位都要看清楚哦~5. Highs and lows/Beginnings and ends/Biggest and smallestHave you included the extremes shown in the diagram? In nearly all charts and graphs these are key features to include as they give the reader a frame for understanding the chart or graph. When there is a lot of data, you may not include every extreme so you need to use your judgement.文中有重要信息点了吗?最高点、最低点、起点、终点、最多的、最少的一定要写进去!6. Patterns and trends 模式和趋势Have you noted any patterns?In dynamic charts (when there is a change in time), it is nearly always important to note whether the general trend is upwards or downwards.在一个有变化的图表里，整体趋势如何，上升?下降?要写清~In static charts (when there is only one time frame), it can be important to note patterns. For example, if you look at my sample report on holiday destinations, you will see that I group England, Scotland and Wales together and note that they have a similar pattern.7. ExceptionsIs there anything in the chart that is completely different to the general pattern? If so, this too is very likely to be a key detail that needs to be noted.除了常规方式外的东西也要写到，就是图表中的“例外”。
