Hi, there. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, we will be looking at how to do well on the speaking part of the IELTS.
大家好，我叫 Emma，今天的课程我们主要讨论一下如何在雅思口语测试部分取得好成绩。
The speaking part of the IELTS is divided up into three sections.
雅思的口语测试分为三部分。
Today, we're just going to be looking at section No. 1.
今天我们关注的是第一部分。
First of all, I will explain how to do well -- oh, sorry. First, I'll explain what happens in Part 1 of the IELTS.
首先，我解释一下第一部分主要做些什么。
And from there, we'll look at some things you should do to do well and some things you shouldn't do.
接着，我们会聊聊在口语测试第一部分，有哪些事情你应该做好，以及哪些事情你不该做。
Let's get started.
这就开始吧。
What happens in Part 1 of the IELTS?
雅思第一部分主要做些什么呢？
Well, first of all, the speaking Part 1 of the IELTS is for both those taking the General IELTS exam and the Academic.
首先，参加培训类和学术类雅思考试的的同学都要考口语第一部分。
Whether you're taking the Academic or the General IELTS, it's the same test with the same questions.
不论你考哪一种，考题是完全一样的。
It lasts between four to five minutes.
考试时长四至五分钟。
It's made up of first an introduction. The examiner is going to introduce himself or herself. Then, you will introduce yourself. For example, "Hi. My name is Emma. Nice to meet you."
首先是介绍环节。考官向你介绍他/她自己，接着是你自我介绍。比如“你好，我叫 Emma，很高兴认识你。”
There's an introduction. And then, the examiner is going to ask you some questions about yourself.
介绍完之后，考官会问一些关于你的问题。
These questions aren't that difficult. Usually, they're about where you're from. For example what city you were born in, where you grew up.
这些问题都不太难。通常问你来自哪里，比如说你出生的城市，你在哪里长大等等。
They might be about work. They might be about what you study, about your friends, about your hobbies, food, sports, and another thing I don't have up here, family. Family is also common on this part of the IELTS.
也可能是关于工作、学习、朋友、爱好、美食、运动和今天我不会重点讲的家庭。家庭话题在这部分也很常见。
Usually, the examiner, after introducing himself or herself, they will talk to you about two of these topics.
通常在介绍之后，考官会问你上面提到的任意两个话题。
Now, the way they mark this part of the IELTS is they're looking specifically for pronunciation. Can they understand what you're saying? Do you pronounce things well?
在口语测试的这部分，他们尤其看重发音。他们是否能听懂你在说什么？你的发音都正确吗？
They're going to be looking at fluency. What's "fluency"? Well, do you go, "Uh, um, uh, uh" a lot during the test? Or do you speak very clearly, in a very nice rhythmic way?
他们还会关注流利度。何谓“流利”？你口试的时候是“呃，嗯，呃，呃”个不停吗？还是说得非常清晰悦耳，语调流畅？
Do you use organizers or transitions? "First of all, secondly, finally." Do you use words like this? "Another reason."
你用顺序连接词吗？“首先，其次，最后。” 你用“另一个原因是……”这样的表达吗？
Or do you have problems speaking at a normal rate? They look at that in fluency.
回答时你可以用正常语速吗？这些都是“流利度”会关注的。
