2013雅思备考:全方位备战雅思听力

03-23

 

  要提高听力能力,首先是要解决词汇的问题,要熟悉听力教材中和日常口语中所出现的句型和表达法,把增强语感放到重要位置上来加以强调。有足够词汇量,听力不可能提高的。没有一定量的句型,在和英美人交流的时候就会在表达上形成差距,造成交流障碍。所以词汇是第一步,同时要扩大对句型的掌握,背词汇的同时要大量记忆常用的句型结构,在听力教材中出现的生词要背,词组和句型更是要熟练掌握。

  加强朗读训练.正确的读音与正确的听音密切相连的,只有和标准读音相近了,自己有了正确的语音语调,才能更好地听懂音带里的内容。可以跟着录音来朗读,这样可以比照自己和原音的差别,达到模仿的最佳效果。

  精听:它的目的在于模仿英美人的说话,模仿他们的语音语调,对照改正自己的语音语调.可以从比较简单的句子开始,先慢后快.要有计划,有安排,根据自己的听力程度,找准起点.对于IELTS考试而言,一般应该精听剑桥一到剑桥四的 16套题目,因为这个都是全真题,与考试最接近了.如果时间有限,可以精听三和四的.精听的概念是完全能够跟上磁带的节奏,对所有的句子和单词都能在第一时间作出反映,而且对于书中要求拼写的单词一定要熟练掌握.

  泛听:除了精听之外,泛听的作用也不可忽视,因为精听要求全神贯注来听,而泛听只需听懂大意就行了。听的内容要杂,面要宽,可以不局限在一两本听力教材,最好根据自己的爱好和程度来选择一些东东来听,一小段故事,一两条新闻,甚至歌曲都可以.建议可以听BBC,一开始可能只能听到几个单词,因为语速真的很快.但是坚持往下听的话,回发现它比音乐还要好听,自信心也会成倍增加。

  要听懂英语,还必须不断扩大自己的知识面,了解英语国家的一些背景知识,风土人情等。一方面可以多读一些英文的原版书籍,内容可以根据个人的兴趣而定,另一方面可以多与外教接触,比如听听他们的讲座或是直接面对面交流。

2013雅思备考:雅思作文写作怎样构思

03-12

标签: 雅思作文备考

 

  下面向准备考雅思的各位开示如何准备写作部分。

  1.2个量决定上5分:是否过250字,是否切题

  2.2个量决定是否上6分:句型复杂程度,错误数量

  3.2个量决定是否上7分:词汇的复杂和精细程度,句型的多样程度。

  以上后面的要求同时包含前面的要求,也就是说,如果你的字数不到250,即使句型不错,一般很难得到7分,除非写出了9分的句型和词汇,如剑桥5G类第一套写作题目的范文,A类同学不要吝啬字数。

  那么我们继续叙述准备的其它思路。

  写作问题无非以下问题:

  1.不知道写什么

  2.不知道怎么写才是好

  3.不知道怎么写才能写快

  4.没有例子。

  其实这些都不是问题。

  1.要准备一个考试周期的重点问题,把类似的题目的论点总结起来,知道什么词汇可以解决那些问题。

  2.要熟悉不同文章体裁的写法,主要是段落的内容和目的的区别,例如,同意与否题就不可以和讨论题相混淆,优缺点题也不可以和问题解决型相混合。

  3.分清考官改卷重点,重要的位置要多花些时间,不重要的位置要花少些时间。具体位置在此就不多说了,课堂上自然会详细阐述。

  4.多背例句,背句型而不是句子,还有就是同义词的数量,尽量做到同一段同一个重要的概念不要重复表达。同义词的档次也要上去,不能满足于四级单词,认为大学四级词汇可以搞定雅思是极端错误的,因为四级和雅思属于完全不同的考试体系,背四级考雅思等于缘木求鱼。

  5.学习英语本身的修辞手法,如押头韵,暗喻,类比,排比,这些都是考官喜欢的东西。

  时间起码2个月,前提是你具有了高中水准,重点不在于写很优美的文章,而在于写合乎考试要求的文章,更具体的说,就是在规定时间里写合乎考试要求的文章。

  那么,请各位我的学生或者读者注意,你们的准备最好可以使用最新的雅思材料,如剑桥4,5,6的真题,不管是否写作,一定要以新题来衡量,还有就是近期考题和澳洲考区的题目。有些书已经很久了还在卖,我觉得就不是很负责任,比如有些所谓的权威雅思书籍已经很久不改题库了,那么其实对于雅思考试来说,题型可能会已经跟不上形式的需要了。

2013雅思备考:雅思口语考试三千问

03-11

标签: 雅思口语考试

 

  昨天下午雅思成绩终于出来了,我的第二次雅思成绩总分6,口语终于达到6.5,我亲爱的也达到总分7,口语7!在此,感谢坛子和在我们“烤鸭”路上帮助过我们的人!本着“人人为我,我为人人”的精神,把我口语成绩从5.5到6.5分的一点经验告诉准备成为烤鸭或者烤鸭们~希望对你们提高成绩有所帮助!

  由于大陆学生多数存在着“哑巴英语”的困扰,口语在很多人看来是雅思考试听,说,读,写里面最难的一项!其实两次烤鸭经历使我觉得雅思口语并没有想象当中那么难!下点功夫,做好准备,想拿6分很容易!

  先简单谈下这两次的考试经历吧~

  第一次考雅思地点在上海华师大考场,没经验。一直到快要我考的时候才进入考场,那个时候看见楼下好多人围在一起,不知道做什么,也没多管,后来才知道他们是“蹲”考的(所谓蹲考就是在考场外面等待刚考好的人,并且问他们考试的topic)。最后这次口语成绩出来是5.5。感觉不理想,主要2个原因,一是没经验,二是part 2抽到个没准备过的并且自己连中文都不太会说的topic(记得貌似是中西方待客异同)。考完后回来在坛子上,发现那个topic在预测上有,但是当时怀着侥幸心理没准备,结果惨死...惨死啊!1500块钱就买了个橡皮和只笔。

  第二次考试时在杭州教育考试院。这次花银子在考试大楼马路对面的宾馆住了两天!能天天看着自己要考试的地方,心里感觉好一些。(教育考试院大楼下面楼层就是个酒店,考点就在酒店楼上,考试两天住满烤鸭和他们的家长!房费400多还住满了,可怜天下父母心啊~)。我在第一天的下午四点考,中午吃完后饭就发现考点下面堆满人,他们都是“蹲”考的,拿着纸笔记录前面考出来人的topic。基本上在考好的人里面七成会把自己考的topic分享给下面“蹲”的鸭友。我在考前2小时加入了“蹲考”队伍,大概了解了前面出现过的topic,这些topic基本全在自己准备过的范围里面,所以做到了胸有成竹,最后 topic抽到了tour,心中暗喜,发挥正常,最后成绩出来时6.5分。

  以下是一些我曾经遇到的问题和自己的经验之谈~~

  问:考点不同是否会影响口语考试成绩?

  答:很多人认为在上海和北京这样的地方考,分数容易相对低,因为牛X的烤鸭这里比较集中。所以选在在一些二线城市考,甚至有的人不惜远赴昆明,乌鲁木齐等考点,希望能在口语上取得好成绩。

  根据自己两次的考试经验,第一次在上海考,5.5。第二次杭州,6.5。我说不好是否是因为没有在上海考成绩就会好些。但是有一点是肯定的,在杭州考的时候topic抽到了精心准备过的,而在上海考的抽到了个没准备过的topic。

  因此,客观的说,我认为雅思的考官经过严格的训练和选拔,无论是哪里的考点,他们打分的时候还是比较客观的。我认为没有必要为了提高分数专门去一些所谓容易打分高的地方考试,尤其是花大成本去一些偏远地方,有这些功夫远不如踏踏实实准备准备来的实在。(当然那种钱特多,坐飞机像走路一样简单的另当别论)。

  问:“蹲”考值不值得?

  答:这个问题根据我自己的经历是肯定的。原因主要是蹲考能够大概掌握topic的范围,做到心中有数!我自己根据考前预测准备了将近14个 topic。(这些topic都是为part2准备的,长度大概1分半到2分钟,不包括Are you a student or do you have a jo...

2013雅思备考:雅思经典作文之赏罚儿童  

03-08

标签: 雅思作文备考

 

   Do children behave better when they are rewarded or punished? Discuss both views and give your opinion.Give answers for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

  Rewards can be more effective than punishments when it comes to disciplining pre-adolescent children. A punishment might stop a kid's bad behavior for only a while, but a reward can do more to achieve long-lasting results. For mothers and fathers alike, it is advisable to spare the rod and yet without spoiling the child.

  When children behave well, they are often expecting loud praises. On occasions when they do something wrong, they probably do not mind being scolded, if done softly. Because the parent-child relationship is characterized by unconditional love, it is better to bind love with gentleness and not with fear. In a positive sense, a good reward is like a bridge leading to good behavior. On the contrary, a harsh punishment may, more often than not, hurt a child psychologically as well as physically. While it is always necessary for parents to teach a child to distinguish between right and wrong, the choice of a reward usually can work better than that of a punishment, love being the same--far from spoiling.

  At a glance, there seems some logic about punishing children in case of breaking normal rules of conduct, but actually there is not. According to this viewpoint, discipline as guidance is a sy...

2013雅思备考:雅思经典作文之Video Games,Good or Bad?

03-08

标签: 雅思作文备考

 

  Computer games are supported by some families because of their advantages, while other parents are against them. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

    Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

  Healthy video games, like healthy diets, are good for children. There is continuing concern that playing violent video games may increase the risk of aggression in players, while less is discussed about the possibility that this activity, if properly monitored by parents, may promote certain positive developments. It may be advisable to reframe the debate in reference to potential costs and advantages.

  Obviously, some families are over-worried about the bad effects on kids and teens who have the habit of playing video games, particularly those with violent (or adult) content. To start with, it may be true that children learn their attitudes about violence at a very young age and unfortunately these attitudes tend to last. It is possible that often boys rather than girls are taught to use fighting instead of self-control to handle problems or conflicts. Needless to say, most parents are increasingly aware of their children's poor school performance probably being linked to an addiction to heavily playing video games whose nature is unknown. What is more, it goes without saying that spending too much time in front of the screen is harmful...
