大家好,我是奥利。
Welcome to Oxford Online English! Do you need band seven in IELTS?
欢迎来到牛津英语在线课堂!你想在雅思考试中拿到7分的成绩吗?
Are you maybe stuck at band six or 6.5?
你是否停留在6分或者6.5分?
If you've taken the IELTS exam many times, and you can't seem to get higher than six in the writing exam, this video is for you.
如果你参加过很多次雅思考试,写作部分似乎无法突破6分的成绩,那么这期视频就是为你准备的。
If you're stuck at band six, then it's likely that you have some bad habits and ineffective approaches to the writing exam.
如果你无法突破6分的成绩,那么很可能你在写作方面存在一些不良的习惯和低效的方法。
These are things that might work well at band six, but they won't help you to get band seven.
这些技巧可能能帮你拿到6分,但想拿到7分可能就有点困难了。
I'll show you what these ineffective habits are, and how you can change them.
我会给大家列出这些低效的习惯以及改正的方法。
One point: I'll be focusing on the academic IELTS exam in this video, because most of the students I meet need academic IELTS.
在这段视频中,我的重点在于学术类雅思考试,因为我遇到的大多数学生都在备考学术类雅思考试。
If you're taking general IELTS, most of the advice in this video is still very relevant for you.
如果你参加的是普通的雅思考试,视频中的大部分建议对你来说也还是很有意义的。
Also, one more thing: there's nothing wrong with getting band six! I'm not trying to be rude or discouraging to anyone.
还有,解释一下:取得6分成绩没什么不好!我无意冒犯或者打击任何人。
When I say that something is a bad habit, or that you need to change something,
当提到某些行为是不良习惯,或者需要改变某个习惯时,
I mean if you want to get band 7.0 in the IELTS writing exam.
我的意思是说如果大家想在雅思写作考试中拿到7分的情况。
Do you know how IELTS scoring works? You should.
你了解雅思考试的评分机制吗?你应该了解一下。
Here's why: The IELTS scoring system is very specific.
原因如下:雅思考试的评分系统非常具体。
The examiners don't just look at your writing and say, “Hmmm, this feels like a… six!"
主考人不会看着你的文章说:“嗯,这个感觉应该是……6分!”
If you get band six in the IELTS writing exam, there are specific reasons why.
如果你的雅思写作考试成绩为6分,可能有一些具体的原因。
There are specific things which you did or didn't do which explain your score.
做过或没做过的具体事情能够解释你取得的分数。
Similarly, to get band seven, there are specific things you need to do, and not do!
同理,要想取到7分,也有一些需要做,以及不用做的具体的事情!
Most importantly: these things are very different between bands six and seven.
最重要的是:拿6分和拿7分的注意事项是有很大区别的。
If you keep taking IELTS, and you keep getting band six in the writing,
如果你一直参加雅思考试,写作成绩一直是6分,
then you can't keep doing the same things and expect to get a different score.
那么你就不能一直采取同样的方法,还期望拿到不一样的分数。
You need to change what you do.
你要改变自己备考的方式。
The things you need to do to get band seven in your IELTS writing aren't magic or some kind of dark secret.
要想在雅思写作中拿到7分,你要做的事情也不是什么“神奇魔法”或者“暗箱操作”。
They're publicly available. You can read what they are.
这些方法是公开的。你可以查看具体的方法。
You can do it right now! There's a link underneath the video.
现在就可以看!视频下方有一个链接。
I highly recommend you read the scoring criteria and think about what band seven means.
我强烈建议大家阅读一下评分标准,思考一下7分意味着什么。
At the very least, you need to understand that your IELTS writing score is made up of four different parts:
至少,你需要明白雅思写作分数是由四个不同的部分组成的:
task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource (which means vocabulary) and grammar.
任务完成度、连贯与衔接、词汇资源(即词汇)和语法。
Think now: where are you weakest? What do you need to work on from these four areas?
现在想想:你的弱项是什么?从这四个方面出发你需要做些什么?
In the rest of this lesson, we'll talk about each of these four areas.
在接下来的课程中,我们将分别讨论这四个方面。
You'll see common examples of ‘band six thinking', and you'll see how you can improve your approach to get a higher IELTS writing score.
你将看到常见的“六级思维”的例子,还会看到如何改进方法来获得更高的雅思写作分数的技巧。
Let's start with task achievement.
咱们先从任务完成开始讲解。
Here are the some ideas that are great for getting band six: “In task one, I need to include every statistic and piece of data."
“在任务一中,我需要包含每一个统计数据和数据片段。”
“In task two, I just need to write something about the general topic in the question."
“在任务二,我只需要写一些关于问题主题的关键信息。”
By the way, to save myself saying ‘task achievement' again and again, I'm going to call it ‘TA'.
顺便说一下,为了避免重复提到“任务完成”,我们简称为“TA”。
Getting band 7 for TA is both easy and hard.
想要拿到7分说容易其实又有点难度。
Here's why it's easy: you just need to do everything which the question asks you to do, and nothing else.
简单的原因:你只需要按照题目要求作答即可,其他什么都不用考虑。
Here's why it's hard: most people can't do that without a lot of practice.
有难度的原因:如果没有大量的练习,大多数人都无法不到。
TA is also slightly different for task one and task two, so we'll talk about those separately.
任务一和任务二的TA标准也略有不同,所以我们将分别进行讨论。
Let's start with task one.
我们先将任务一部分。
Here's a sample question: The graph below shows the sales of five different food products in the UK between 1980 and 2010.
这里有一个示例问题:下面图表显示了1980年到2010年间,五种不同食品在英国的销售情况。
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
通过选择和报告主要特征来总结信息,并在相关的地方进行比较。
If you want some time to look at the question, pause the video.
如果你想花点时间看看这个问题,可以暂停视频。

Getting a good TA score depends a lot on what you do before you start writing.
想在TA方面拿到高分,很大程度上取决于开始写作之前的准备。
You need to analyse the task and make a clear plan.
你需要分析题目并制定清晰的计划。
If you start writing without a clear plan, it's very hard to get a good TA score.
如果写作时没有制定清晰的计划,很难拿到TA的高分。
