Hi, everyone. I'm Jade. In this lesson, I've put together all the tips I have for IELTS listening, so if you're preparing to take the test,
大家好，我是Jade，这次的课上，我把我所有的雅思听力技巧都汇总起来了，
you've got all my tips to help you do your best in the listening exam.
所以如果你们准备参加这个考试，你们就有了我所有的技巧来帮助你们完胜听力考试。
So, it's 40 marks, and it's around 30 minutes long, so how can you make the most of your listening exam?
听力考试共40分，时长大约30分钟，那么如何才能在听力考试中充分发挥呢？
Well, it's true what they say: practice really does make perfect.
那句话确实说得很对：熟能生巧。
So you should aim to do as many practice tests of the listening section as you absolutely can, it will really, really help you.
所以你们应该尽可能多做一些听力部分的练习题，它真的真的会对你们大有裨益的。
There's a book that I recommend, it's the Cambridge Series for IELTS, we've got some practice tests, there are other parts in that book,
我给你们推荐一本书Cambridge Series for IELTS，里面有一些模拟题，那本书里还有其他部分的题，
not just for listening, but the listening materials are good, so I've used those many times.
不只是听力部分，不过听力材料很不错，我已经用过很多次了。
And you don't get that many listening tests in the book, but what you can do is do the tests, and then take a break for,
那本书里没有特别多的听力试题，但是你们能做的就是把这些试题做完，然后隔一段时间，
you know, two weeks or three weeks or whatever, and you'll forget, and then you can do it again.
比如两三个星期之类的，那时你们就把这些题都忘记了，然后可以再做一遍。
So, that's really important, because I'll tell you that as a native speaker, yeah, plus someone with a university degree,
那非常重要，因为我可以跟你们说，作为一个母语是英语，而且大学毕业了的人，
but I'll do...I'll do an IELTS listening test after a long break, and I'll not get a lot of the answers right. Okay?
我在隔很长一段时间后再做雅思听力部分的试题，很多题都会做错。
So what that tells me is that doing IELTS, and the listening part is just another example, it's as much about learning how to pass a test and learning an exam technique, basically.
所以我从这里面的体悟是，做雅思，听力部分只是另一个例子而已，做雅思题基本上就是学习如何通过一场考试，学习考试技巧。
Because if a native speaker isn't going to get it all right, it shows you that you need to train yourself to be able to do this listening test.
因为如果一个以英语为母语的人都做不到全对，那就说明你们需要训练自己才能具备做好听力部分的能力。
So, anyway, if I do a couple of those tests, then I'm getting them all right.
不管怎么说，如果我做过好几套试题，那我就能把它们做到全对。
So what I'm telling you, just from my experience is: the more you practice those tests, you really will become better and better at doing those tests.
所以从我的经验来说，我在告诉你们的是：你们练习得越多，就真的会越来越擅长做这些试题。
Even if right now you think that your English is, like, really good and you're going to get a really high score in the IELTS listening because you're good at listening.
即使现在你觉得自己的英语非常好，觉得自己在雅思考试的听力部分会拿到一个很高的分数，因为你认为自己很擅长听力。
It may be true that you are a really good speaker of English and you understand a lot, but if you haven't practiced any of the IELTS tests,
也许你确实英语说得很好，懂很多英语知识，但是如果你没有练过任何雅思考试的试题，
you might not get a good score, because you haven't learned the exam technique, and you're not familiar with those tests.
你可能拿不到一个很好的分数，因为你没有学过考试技巧，对那些试题不熟悉。
So rule number one: Practice makes perfect.
所以第一点：熟能生巧。
Also in these tests, you really need to spell carefully, because if you make a spelling mistake, you don't get the mark.
还有，在这些考试中，你们拼写单词的时候要非常小心，因为如果你们出现了拼写错误是得不到分的。
So, try your best to spell things correctly.
所以请尽力正确拼写单词。
And especially in questions where they are spelling something to you, make sure you don't lose an easy point for writing down the wrong letter.
尤其是在那些他们拼写什么给你听的题目里，确保你们不会因为写下了错误的字母而失去这么容易的得分点。
Which brings us to this one: Learn the pronunciation of letters.
这就带我们来到了这一点：学会字母的发音。
So, just do a little bit of revision, go back over how to say the letters in British English, because the IELTS test is mainly in British accent.
所以稍微复习一下，回顾一下英式英语中是如何读那些字母的，因为雅思考试主要是英式口音。
So make sure you know how we say our letters here.
所以请确保你们知道我们英国人是怎么读这些字母的。
But it would also be quite handy for you to practice the letters in American English and Australian English,
但是你们练习一下美式英语和澳洲英语的字母发音也会很有用，
because these will also be covered in the...in the test, you'll get these different accents.
因为这些也会出现在......考试中，会有这些不同的口音。
So there's a tip for you.
这是一个技巧。
Going back to this one: when you're doing the test, in between the different parts of the exam (there are four parts) , you get a little bit of reading time.
我们回到这一点：当你们在考试的时候，试题的不同部分之间（总共有四个部分），会有一点阅读材料的时间。
When you get this reading time, what you should be doing is reading the questions that you're about to answer.
到了这个阅读时间的时候，你们应该做的是阅读将要作答的题目。
Not checking the answers that you wrote before.
而不是检查你们之前写下的答案。
See, a lot of people will just be looking back at what they've already done, but when they do that, they're not preparing for the next questions.
是这样的，很多人会回头看看他们已经做完的题，但是这么做的话，他们就不能为下面的题目做准备了。
So you really need to make the most of that time, and make sure that you've read what's coming.
所以你们真的需要充分利用那段时间，并且确保自己读过了接下来要回答的内容。
And that will help you, because these listening exams, they're in chronological order, it means it starts at the top of the page,
这对你们很有帮助的，因为听力考试是按时间顺序排列的，也就是会从那一页的顶端开始，
the first answer's somewhere at the top of the page, and then it goes down.
第一个答案就在试题页顶端的某个地方，然后会下移。
It's not like you have to be looking all over the paper for the answers, basically.
基本上你们不用在一整页里找答案。
Next tip: You're only going to hear this once, so don't stress about that.
下一个技巧：你们只会听到一遍录音，所以不要紧张。
When you are practicing your exams, doing the practice tests, try to do it in a way that you're only listening once.
你们练习的时候，做模拟试题的时候，尽量只听一遍。
And don't worry so much if you get them wrong, just listen once, then leave those tests for a while, and then when you've forgotten about them, come back and do it again.
如果出错了也不要太紧张，只听一遍，然后把那些试题搁置一段时间，接着等你们把题目都忘光了，再回来做一遍。
If you're listening twice, you're not really practicing the IELTS listening skill.And...what else have I got to say about it?
如果你们听两遍的话就练不到什么雅思听力技巧了。我还要说什么来着？
IELTS has a particular speaking style; it's not like normal spoken English.
雅思考试的讲话方式很特别，不像普通的英语口语。
It's nothing like normal spoken English, but in one way, it makes it very easy to understand.
一点儿都不像普通的英语口语，但是某种程度上，这样更容易理解。
So, get used to that kind of speaking style, it might be in a British English accent, maybe it's in an American accent or an Australian accent.
所以请习惯那种讲话方式，也许是用英式英语口音，也许是美式口音或者澳大利亚口音。
And this will just make you more ready for doing the test.
这会让你们考试的时候准备得更充分。
Here are some other, more general tips, okay? As a listener, key words are really important.
下面是一些其他的更笼统的技巧。作为听众，关键词非常重要。
These are, as you're listening, the words that are going to point you to the answers,
你们在听材料的时候，这些关键词会指引你们找到答案，
like when you're looking at the question written on the paper, you'll be looking for verbs, adjectives, and nouns.
比如当你们看试卷上的题目时，你们要找动词、形容词和名词。
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", because you're not supposed to know what every word 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，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. Oh, no. Actually, I've changed my mind. On Tuesday next week."
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。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。
What we're going to do in the next part of the lesson is look specifically at the harder questions, question forms, and what you need to look out for in those specific question types.
在这节课的下个部分我们要来具体看看比较难的题目，题目形式，还有在这些具体的题目类型中你们要注意些什么。
Let's have some general tips for the specific question types now.
现在我们来讲一些针对具体题目类型的基本技巧。
I'm not going to look at all the question types, because some are self-explanatory, like matching or multiple choice.
我不会讲到所有的题目类型，因为有些题目是不言自明的，比如配对题和单选题。
But let's have a look at form filling, sometimes you'll get a form like this, with some information missing.
但是我们来看看填表题吧，有时候试卷上会有像这样的表格，里面有一些缺失的信息。
As I mentioned to you, the listening test is chronological, so it will start talking about this diagram by mentioning Sarah, and then it will move across.
就像我之前跟你们提到过的，听力试题是按时间顺序的，所以它会通过提到某个人的名字，比如Sarah来开始谈论这个表格，然后会横向移动。
So you know that after you hear the name, you're likely to hear the telephone number.
所以你们听到名字之后就知道可能会听到电话号码了。
And if this is repeated...maybe you have somebody's name, here, maybe you have the number, here.There's my number, not my number; it's just a number.
如果这个重复了......也许某个人的名字在这儿，然后号码在这儿。这是我的号码，不是我的号码，只是随便诌的一个号码。
So it's...when you get here, again, you know you need to be waiting to hear this location.
当你们听到了这里，同样的，你们就知道自己需要等着听地点了。
And it might not be a place that you know, it might be a place that you've never heard of,
可能不是你们知道的地方，可能是个你们从没听说过的地方，
so when that...when that happens, you just have to either take a guess at spelling this word that you've never heard, or they will spell that place to you.
所以当......当这种情况发生的时候，你们只需要猜着把你们从没听说过的这个单词拼写出来，或者他们会把这个地名拼读出来。
The person will be like: -"Hmm. I'm not sure if I understood that correctly. Did you say 'Bristol'?" -"Yes, that's right. B-r-i-s-t-o-l."
那个人会说：-“嗯......我不确定我有没有听对，你说的是'Bristol'吗？”-“是的，没错，拼写是B-r-i-s-t-o-l。”
So, either you'll have to guess, or they'll spell it to you.
所以你们要么蒙一个，要么他们会拼读出来。
And if you have this kind of question-I mean, this is important in the whole test, in every single part-don't put too many words or too much information in these things.
如果你们遇到了这种题目，我的意思是，这在整场考试中，在考试的每一个部分都很重要：不要在这些空格里填写太多单词或太多信息。
Because...let's just imagine you put the answer here, but then you also put in some extra piece of information, you won't get any mark there; that will be wrong.
因为......我们假设你们把答案写在了这里，但是接着你们还写了一些额外的信息，这样你们一分都得不到，那是错误的。
So, the correct number of words, okay? No more than that.
所以记得写下正确数量的单词，好吗？不要超过那个数字。
And the IELTS trick...the IELTS trick is that they give you...they give you unfamiliar names, or ones that are spelled in unexpected ways.
雅思考试中还会出现的陷阱是，他们会给你们......他们会给你们不熟悉的名字，或者用很出乎意料的方式拼写的名字。
So, when you're listening out for that name, you're only going to hear it once,
当你们注意听那个名字的时候，你们只能听一遍，
but rather than think you already know how to spell that name, spell it the way that you hear, because sometimes you'll doubt yourself.
但是不要按照你们以为自己已知的方式拼写那个名字，而要按照你们听到的方式拼写，因为有时候你们会怀疑自己。
You'll hear the...the weird name, and you'll be like: "Oh, I know how to spell..." well, it's not weird, okay let's...I'll give you an example.
你们会听到一个很奇葩的名字，然后会想“哦，我知道怎么拼写......”，好吧，不是奇葩......我给你们举个例子。
Let's imagine they said the word "Smith", and you're like: "Oh, I know how to spell 'Smith', but it didn't sound like 'Smith', oh, but I must have heard that wrong."
假设他们说了"Smith"这个单词，然后你们觉得“哦，我知道怎么拼写'Smith'，但是它听起来不像'Smith'，我一定是听错了。”
They'll probably...they'll probably smell it...smell it? (Laughs) spell it in a strange way, I don't know.
他们可能会用一种很奇怪的方式拼读这个单词什么的。
That's what they do, so, trust your...trust what you...what you hear, not what you think it should be. IELTS trick.
他们就喜欢这么做，所以要相信你们自己听到的内容，而不是你们认为应该是的内容。要注意雅思考试中的这个陷阱。
Let's have a look now at label and map, or label or diagram question.
现在我们来看看标签与地图，或者标签或图表题。
These will not necessarily be in every single test, and therefore, you might...you might not actually get this on your test.
可能不是每套试卷上都有这种题目，因此，你们也许实际上考试的时候不会遇到这类题目。
But they're really worthwhile to practice, because when they are on the test, they are some of the hardest questions.
但是它们非常值得练习，因为如果它们出现在试卷上，就是最难的题目之一。
So, you might...you might lose points, here.
所以在这种题型上你们可能会丢分。
Label and map is usually in the first section or the second section, so it should be one...among the easiest listening questions in the whole test.
标签和地图通常在听力考试的第一或第二部分，所以应该是......在整场考试最简单的听力题目中。
So you really don't want to waste any points in this section of the test.
所以你们真的不该在这个部分丢分。
Label or diagram is more complicated, usually in part three or part four, but the same principle.
标签或图表更复杂一些，通常在第三或第四部分，但是原则还是一样的。
How can you prepare for this? You use your reading time to look at the map. Okay?
怎么准备这种题型呢？你们要利用阅读时间来看地图。
So you get 30 seconds to look at the map, so, it could be a good idea to...
你们有30秒钟的时间可以看地图，所以可能很好......
I don't think it's actually possible to predict the answers for all the questions in IELTS, but for the map, it could be helpful.
我觉得预测雅思考试中所有题目的答案事实上是不可能的，但是对地图这类的题目来说，会大有帮助。
If you look at the map, you'll know: "Am I listening for shop names? Am I listening for street names?
如果你们看到地图就会知道“我要注意听商店名字吗？我要注意听街道的名字吗？
Am I listening for building names, or numbers? Or is it particular landmarks, like trees, lake, that kind of thing?"
我要注意听建筑物的名字或者门牌号吗？或者这是特别的地标吗？比如树、湖之类的事物。”
And just knowing what you're listening for will really help you in the...in the map questions, or the...in the map questions.
仅仅知道自己要注意听什么就能在地图类题目中给你们带来很大帮助。
Also in the map questions, it will really help you to learn directions phrases.Anything like "across", "opposite", "on the right hand side".
还有，地图类题目会帮助你们学习方向类短语。诸如"across", "opposite", "on the right hand side"。
So make sure you study some directions phrases before you take your test, to refresh those all in your memory.
所以请确保在参加考试之前学习一些方向类短语，在脑子里复习一下那类短语。
And when we...when we get to a diagram question, these...these ones will be technical vocabulary or technical language, probably language that you're not familiar with.
讲到图表类题目，这些题目中可能会出现技术性词汇或者技术性语言，可能是你们不熟悉的语言。
You haven't heard it before; you don't know it, so, when you're in these...when you're having this part of the paper, know that you'll be listening out for an unusual word that you don't know.
你们之前没听说过，不认识它们，所以当试卷上出现这个部分的时候，你们要知道自己要注意听不认识的不平常的单词。
So don't let that...don't let that be a scary thing, don't let that make you panic or something.
不要被那些单词吓到，不要惊慌。
It's meant to be difficult in that way, that it's testing your ability to just find a technical word in the middle of some other long technical thing.
它就是要有那种难度的，它就是在测试你们从一些其他很长的技术性内容中找到一个技术性单词的能力。
And then, the most difficult out of all the questions are flowchart completion and classification questions in the IELTS test.
接下来，雅思考试所有题目中难度最大的就是完成流程图和分类型题目。
Flowchart completion would be something like this: you'd have some boxes showing a process, a scientific process, or something, an academic...something in academic things.
完成流程图是这样的：会有一些方框表示一个流程，一个科学流程或者学术性流程之类的。
No, that's not right, something, you know, at university level, this thing happens, this thing happens, this thing happens, I'm thinking of biology or something like that.
不，不是这样，就是......在大学水平上，会发生这个事情，会发生这个事情，会发生这个事情，我现在在想生物学或者类似的事情。
So, there'll be different steps, and when you listen, you need to order which thing happens first.
所以会有不同的步骤，你们在听录音的时候要排好顺序哪个步骤最先发生。
How do you do that? Well, the biggest IELTS tip I can give you is that: Use a different approach for these questions.
怎么做呢？我能告诉你们的最重要的雅思技巧是：针对这些问题使用一个不同的方法。
So I'll give you...I'll give you a real life example, when I was preparing IELTS with one of my students,
我给你们举个真实的例子吧，我帮我其中一个学生准备雅思考试的时候，
he was doing the practice, and he was consistently...he stayed not getting the result that he needed for quite a long time,
他做了练习，但是他一直......他很长时间都得不到自己需要的结果，
it was if...it was as if his practice wasn't really helping him get a better mark.
就好像他做的练习一点都没帮到他取得一个更好的分数。
But when I suggested to him: "When you get to this part of the listening test, don't read the questions and listen at the same time."
但是我建议他说：“当你做到听力考试的这一部分的时候，不要同时看题目和听录音。”
When I suggested that he just listen, but then after, write in the answer, fill in the gap A, B, C, D,
我建议他光听录音，然后听完之后再写答案，填上A、B、C、D，
then, suddenly, the result that he was getting in the test went up by four marks, or something like that.
然后突然之间，他的考试成绩就提高了4分，或者差不多的分数。
So when he changed the approach, how he listened in these difficult questions, he was getting a much better result.
所以他改变了听这些难度比较大的题目的方法之后，就获得了更好的分数。
Because when you get to the end of the test, section four especially, which is the hardest questions,
因为当你们做到试卷最后的时候，尤其是第四部分，这里的题目是最难的，
you don't really have time to read complex, long words, listen to academic speaking; it's too much information.
这个时候你们没有多少时间去阅读复杂冗长的单词，听学术性讲话，这里面信息太多了。
So, you could try this, like my student tried: when you get to these hard questions, you're listening to a long lecture by one person, just listen to it.
所以你们可以试着这么做，就像我的学生那样：当你们做到这些困难的题目时，你们会听到一个人进行的长讲座，就直接听。
And then, when they're finished speaking, take your full knowledge of everything that you listened to and then choose your answers.
然后，等他们讲完了，充分利用你们听到的所有内容，然后选择答案。
So try that, that's my number one tip for these hard questions.
试试吧，这是我针对这些难度比较大的题目的第一个技巧。
I still think a different approach works in the earlier questions, obviously, if you're listening for a telephone number,
我还是认为另一种方法在先前的题目中显然更为奏效，如果你们在听一个电话号码，
you don't just let the telephone number go and then say: "Oh, yes. I remember", because you won't remember.
你们不能直接听过这个电话号码就说“好的，我记住了”，因为你们记不住的。
But for the hard questions, that different approach really helps.
但是对于难度更大的题目，这个不同的方法非常有用。
And I put classification type questions in there, because these are...it's a bit like matching, you have to say
我把分类型题目放在了那里，因为这些......它和配对题有些像，你们会觉得
Oh, this thing goes with this idea, this thing goes with this idea", and it's more complicated.
哦，这个事情和这个想法是一起的，这个和这个想法是一起的”，它更复杂一点。
So, you really need to have an understanding of everything you listen to, to answer that well.
所以要答对那些题目，你们非常需要理解听到的所有内容。
So, there are my IELTS tips for you, I wish you a very successful listening exam.
以上就是我给你们准备的雅思技巧，希望你们在听力考试中大获成功。
Remember, you do need to do the practice, do as much practice as you can, follow my tips, also, I'd really like you to do the quiz for this lesson, so go to the engVid site to do the quiz.
