Hi, I'm Maria.
大家好，我是玛利亚。
Welcome to Oxford Online English! In this lesson, you'll see five common IELTS preparation mistakes that we often see.
欢迎来到牛津英语在线课堂！在本节课程中，您将看到准备雅思考试时五个常见的错误。
Are you planning to take the IELTS exam? At Oxford Online English, we meet and teach many IELTS students.
你打算参加雅思考试吗？在牛津英语在线课堂，我们遇到并教授了很多备考雅思的学生。
Often, these students find it difficult to prepare for IELTS and get the score they want.
通常，这些学生发现，备考雅思和获得理想的分数很困难。
It's not because they don't have the ability. It's not because they don't work hard.
这并不是因为他们没有足够的能力。也不是因为没有努力备考。
So, why is it? It's because they make simple, avoidable mistakes.
那么，为什么呢？因为他们犯了简单的、可以避免的错误。
The IELTS preparation mistakes you'll see in this video are very common; we see them all the time!
这个视频讲解的都是常见的雅思备考误区；随处可见！
Making these mistakes will make it more difficult to get the IELTS score you need.
这些错误会让你更难拿到理想的雅思分数。
We'll explain how you can avoid these common mistakes and prepare for IELTS more effectively.
我们将向你解释如何避免这些常见错误，从而更有效地备考。
Ok, this might seem obvious. It might seem boring.
好吧，这些错误看起来可能显眼。也可能很无趣。
People leaving exam preparation too late? What a surprise! But, it's the number one mistake that IELTS students make.
备考的时间不充足？意外吧！但是，这是雅思学生最常犯的错误。
The problem is that many students see IELTS like exams you probably had at school: exams which tested your knowledge of facts.
问题是，许多学生把雅思考试等同于学校里可能遇到过的考试：测试你对知识的了解范围。
With that kind of exam, you could start revising a few days before, memorise a load of information, and maybe get a good mark.
在这种考试中，你可以提前几天复习，记住大量信息，也许会取得好成绩。
We've all done that, I think, right? I know I have! But, here's the problem: IELTS isn't an exam about facts.
我想我们都这样做过，对吧？反正我是这样！但问题是：雅思考试不是关于知识范围的考试。
It's a test of your practical skills in English. Those skills take time to learn and develop.
这是对你英语应用能力的测试。这些技能需要时间去学习和发展。
You can't spend a few days with your books and magically get a higher IELTS score.
你不可能花几天时间温书，然后奇迹般地获得较高的雅思分数。
You're probably thinking: so how long does it take? The answer is: longer than you think.
你可能会纳闷：那要花多长时间呢？答案是：比你想象的时间要长。
In our experience, moving your IELTS score half a band—so from six to six point five, for example—takes around two to three months of study.
根据我们的经验，比如说，将雅思成绩从6分提高到6.5分需要大约2到3个月的学习时间。
Moving up one full band takes around six months.
提高到7分大约需要6个月。
Remember that we're talking about regular study here: two or three hours of lessons per week, plus several hours of study in your own time.
记住我们这里说的是固定的学习安排：每周两到三个小时的课程，再加上几个小时的自习时间。
Also, these are averages.
当然，这是平均来说的。
How long it takes you depends on your exact situation, it depends on your strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on what kind of learner you are.
需要多长时间取决于你的具体情况，取决于你的优势和劣势，也取决于你属于哪种学习类型。
So, it's possible that you could do it faster… …but it might also take you longer.
因此，你可能会耗时更少……但也可能会耗时更久。
If you need to take IELTS, probably it's important to you.
如果你需要参加雅思考试，这节内容可能对你很重要。
You're applying to university, or you're planning to emigrate to an English-speaking country.
你正在申请大学，或者你打算移民到一个说英语的国家。
So, don't leave it too late! Even if you just think that you might need IELTS in the future, it's a good idea to get into good habits now.
所以，不要犹豫太久！即使你只是认为将来可能会需要雅思成绩，现在养成好习惯也是一个好主意。
Here are some suggestions: One: start reading in English every day.
这里有一些建议：第一：开始每天阅读英语文章。
You don't have to spend a lot of time: ten to fifteen minutes is enough.
你不必花太长的时间：十到十五分钟就足够了。
Try to read a variety of things. Two: listen to something in English every day.
尝试阅读各种各样的素材。第二：每天练习英语听力。
Again, you don't need to spend a lot of time on this, but you should try to listen to varied materials; don't listen to the same thing every day.
同样，你不需要在这上面花太长的时间，但是应该试着听不同的听力材料；不要每天听同样的内容。
Three: if you need IELTS in the next 12 months, find a teacher and ask for a speaking and writing assessment.
三：如果你在接下来的12个月需要准备雅思考试，需要找一位老师，进行口语和写作的评估。
This way, you'll know where you are now, and how much work you have to do.
这样，你就会了解你现在的水平，以及需要做什么准备。
Start preparing early, and it'll be much easier to get the IELTS score you need.
越早开始准备，会越容易得到你理想的雅思成绩。
Often, people ask us questions like: “Can you tell me some tricks to improve my reading score?"
人们经常问我们这样的问题:“你能告诉我一些提高阅读成绩的小窍门吗?”
“What are some linking words I should use in my essay?" “How do I get a higher score in the listening exam?"
“在我的文章中我应该使用哪些连接词？”“我怎样才能在听力考试中拿到高分？”
