Need help with your speaking skills?
需要帮助提高你的口语水平？
Here are some tips to prepare for your test.
这里有几个窍门来帮你准备口语考试。
Speaking to friends and family in your local language is easy.
和家人朋友用你的母语交流很容易。
But will this help you if you’re preparing for your IELTS Speaking test? No.
但这能帮助你备考雅思口语吗？不能。
Here's my advice: Speak English.
我的建议是：说英语。
Speak it as much as possible with friends, at work or even while you are shopping.
与朋友聊天时，工作时，甚至购物时都尽可能讲英语。
Chat about a common topic of interest and pretend you’re sitting an actual IELTS test.
讨论共同感兴趣的话题，假装你正在参加雅思口语考试。
Speak in full English sentences.
说英语整句。
Be adventurous!
大胆一些！
Try out some new English words you’ve just learned.
试着使用你刚刚学到的英语词汇。
Practice using adjectives to express your feelings or opinions.
练习用形容词来表达你的感觉或观点。
For example, ‘I like this pizza. It’s delicious and satisfying. The cheese is tasty and the vegetables are fresh.’
例如，“我喜欢这个匹萨。它很美味，让人心满意足。奶酪味道很足，蔬菜很新鲜。”
Listen to yourself speaking.
听你自己的讲话。
Most of us haven't heard ourselves speak.
我们大多数人没有听到过自己的讲话。
Here’s an idea: Why not record yourself speaking – it’s a great way to check your pronunciation – or learn if you need to speak slower or faster to express yourself clearly.
我有一个建议：为什么不录下你的讲话——这是一个很好的检查你发音的方法——或者来了解你是否需要放慢或提高你的讲话速度，来清晰地表达自己的观点。
What if you know little about the topic?
如果你对该话题知之甚少怎么办？
Don't stress. The Speaking test measures your level of English, not your opinion and definitely not your accent!
别紧张。口语考试测试的是你的英语水平，而不是你的观点正误，也绝不是你的口音！
You can make something up from your imagination as long as it relates to the topic.
你可以运用想像，只要和话题有关就可以。
Lastly, get to know the assessment criteria.
最后，了解评分标准。
Know what criteria you must meet to achieve the band score you’re aiming for?
明确你必须达到什么标准才能得到你的目标分数？
If the Speaking test makes you feel nervous, don't worry – you are definitely not alone.
如果口语考试让你感到紧张，别担心——你不是唯一的。
So don’t lose sleep over it - just keep practising!
所以，别为此失眠了——只要坚持练习就好！
