来源:可可英语 编辑:hepburn   可可英语APP下载 |  可可官方微信:ikekenet

Okay, so now let's go to writing.

好的,接下来我们来说写作部分。

So, whether you're doing the IELTS General or the IELTS Academic, you have two sections. Right?

无论你报的是培训类还是学术类的雅思,写作部分都有两道题,对吧?

You always have an essay, which you have to do on either one of those exams;

一般都会有一道作文题,无论是培训类还是学术类都一样;

and then the first task is a little bit different.

第一道就不一样。

In the general you have to write a letter;

培训类雅思第一道作文题是写一封信;

and in the academic you have a graph, or a chart, or some information that you need to describe. All right?

学术类雅思第一道题则是一个图表或一个表格,还有可能是一段你需要描述的信息。对吧?

Now, that's true in general; it doesn't matter whether you're doing the paper-based test or you're doing the computer-delivered test, Okay?

一般都是这样;无论你参加的是笔考还是机考。

But let's see now: What's different?

我们今天要讨论的是:机考和笔考的写作部分不一样的地方。

And how the writing section can actually be a lot easier in the computer-delivered test. Okay?

还有就是机考写作是怎么比笔考写作简单得多的。

Let's see why.

下面我们就来说说其中的原因。

So, first of all, because you're going to type the answer, you don't have to write it by hand,

首先,机考的写作是用电脑打字,不需要你用手写,

and that does create a lot of advantages for you, in my opinion anyway.

在我看来,这确实能给大家创造很多优势。

So, first of all, there's no handwriting.

首先,没有笔迹的问题。

So, in case your handwriting's not very good or it's not clear,

如果你的字迹不是很好或者不是很清楚,

and it's possible that the examiner could think that you have a spelling mistake

考官就有可能单纯因为你字写得不好,

just because your writing isn't very good and you're not used to writing,

或者你不习惯写字就认为你的拼写是错误的,

then this problem is eliminated. Right?

机考就没有这个问题。对吧?

Once you type your answer in, of course, if you have a spelling mistake, it's still going to be wrong,

当然了,你输入答案之后,如果你的拼写的确是错误,那它还是会显示成错误的拼写,

but it's not going to be wrong because it looked wrong-okay?

但并不会因为它看起来是错的就被判定为错误拼写,好吗?

but only if it is wrong, and yes they will minus marks for spelling mistakes.

只有在它真的是错误的拼写的时候才会,而且,机考错误的拼写也是会扣分的。

But you can type your answer.

但机考你可以打字输入你的答案。

Now, many people today can type faster, so it's faster to type on a keyboard, Okay?

现在很多人的打字速度都很快,也就是说,用键盘打字比用手写字要快,对吧?

For many people.

反正很多人都是这样。

Maybe not for you, but probably.

你可能不是,但很有可能是啊。

It's clearer, as I said, than handwriting.

我刚才也说了,用电脑打出来的字比手写的清晰。

Another really important point for many people is that a word count is available on the computer test,

对很多人来说,另一个非常重要的点是,机考有字数统计,

so as you type you will see the word count,

也就是说,你打字的时候能看到字数统计,

so you will know because you have to write about 250 words,

这样你就知道自己写到哪里了,因为作文要求是要写250个字左右,

and some people can judge that even on the paper-based test, and some people find it very difficult to know that.

有的同学就算是笔考也能判断自己字数是否写够,但有的同学就很难判断。

So, this way you will know exactly, and that is an important point

所以,机考你是能很清楚地知道这一点的,这个问题也很重要,

because if you write a much shorter essay, for example, then you will lose marks. Okay?

因为如果你的字数远远不达标,那你是会被扣分的。大家知道了吗?

So you don't want to lose marks because it's too short or it's way, way, way too long, All right?

大家都不想因为字数太少或太多丢分的对吧?

Secondly, because you're typing, editing and restructuring your essay becomes a lot easier.

第二个优势,因为是打字,编辑和改动起来也比笔考时容易得多。

So, what happened in the paper-based test is that if you needed to change something,

笔考的时候,如果你要改答案,

which is quite possible, even if you plan beforehand, you sometimes need to,

这是很有可能的,就算你提前打好了草稿有时候也是需要,

you have different ideas and you need to change something,

你有了新的想法,需要改某个地方,

so it starts to look a little bit messy, and you're crossing out things and you're adding things.

这儿划一下,那儿增一句,这个时候你的卷面就会变得很乱。

But that's all eliminated with the computer-based test

但机考的话,所有这些问题都会烟消云散,

because you're just typing directly on the screen into the computer,

因为你的字是直接打到电脑屏幕上的,

and basically you can edit and move things around if you need to, Okay?

需要的时候一边都是能修改和移动的,好吗?

Again, it's going to be similar to the reading section; the screen is divided into two,

另外,作文部分和阅读一样,屏幕也被分成了两栏,

you'll see the information or the question on the left,

左边是材料或问题,

you'll have space on the right to write your answer, and that's basically it.

你可以将答案书写在右边的空白部分,一般都是这样。

On both the reading and the writing sections, you have kind of a, you do have a clock

无论是阅读还是写作,你都有,你都会有一个计时表,

and it does sort of flash usually when you have 10 minutes left and five minutes left, Okay?

当考试时间还剩10分钟和5分钟的时候它都会闪。

And in the writing section, because you have two sections, you can decide which section you do first. All right?

因为写作部分有两道题,先做哪道后做哪道你都是可以自己定的,好吧?

That's up to you.

就看你自己的习惯了。

Now, here are a few suggestions.

下面我还有一些建议要分享给大家。

Especially if you want to plan your essay beforehand or make notes before you actually write it, type it into the computer,

特别是你想在正式作答之前,也就是往电脑里输入答案之前先打个草稿或者先做做笔记的话,

you might want to ask for some paper and a pen.

你可能需要借张值或一支笔。

I know that one of my students had a little problem getting that paper,

据我所知,我有个学生就差点没借到纸,

but I would find out about that beforehand and make sure.

具体的真实性我下课再跟他们确认一下。

And also some students have told me that they find it very distracting, however,

不过,也有一些学生告诉我,

that they can hear the "clack, clack, clack" noise of the keyboard from all over the room.

他们觉得满教室“咔嗒、咔嗒、咔嗒”的敲键盘的声音会让他们分心。

So, if that happens to you and you find yourself getting distracted,

如果你也有这个问题,你也觉得自己会被分心的话,

you might want to use the headphones which are still there and just,

建议你戴上耳机,耳机是会一直放在你桌上的,

you know, protect yourself from that noise and that distraction. Okay?

让自己不受噪音干扰。大家都记住了吗?

On the other hand...

另外,

And in fact, some people suggest that you could use those headphones all through your exam just to prevent distraction and to keep you focused, Okay?

事实上,有一些人建议,大家可以全程戴着耳机,防止分心,让自己集中精力答题。

So, these are some of the main points that I've discussed today about this new IELTS test

以上就是我今天要跟大家分享的有关机考雅思的主要问题,

which, as I said, is available today as a choice - the paper-based test or the computer-delivered test.

我前面也说了,机考只是选择之一,你可以选机考,也可以选笔考。

Now, even though there's a lot to do to prepare for the IELTS exam, you can do it.

虽然大家在正式走进雅思考场之前要做很多的准备工作,但你是可以做到的。

There are millions of students who have done it and are doing it, Okay?

很多很多同学都已经经历过或正在经历。你也可以的,好吗?

But you want to do two things.

但大家还需要做两个准备。

You want to have this test knowledge like I've given you now.

你需要掌握我今天讲的这些考试信息。

This is test knowledge; information about the test; the strategies of the test, and so on, that's a little bit different.

这些只是考试信息,只是考试的策略,笔考和机考的考试策略是不太一样的。

So, as you know, go to our website at www.engvid.com;

还有,建议大家去我们的网站www.engvid.com看看;

there you'll find hundreds of lessons which help you with strategies, and techniques,

上面有上千节的课程,可以帮助大家掌握这些策略或者技巧,

and tips to actually do better on and score higher on this exam

或者建议,帮助大家取得更好的考试成绩,

because it is a challenging exam; there's no question about it, Okay?

因为雅思考试毕竟还是挺难的,这点是毋庸置疑的,对吧?

So, make sure that your test knowledge is good so you know what to expect,

大家一定要把这些考试知识都掌握好了,这样才能做到心里有数,

and also make sure that your English skills and aptitude is good, All right?

再有就是一定要打牢基础,好吧?

So, the other thing you can do to make sure that you've understood some of these points is to do a test, Okay?

怎么确保你真的已经掌握了这些内容呢?还有一个办法,那就是做测试,对吧?

Do a quiz at our website at, as I said, www.engvid.com.

我前面也说了,大家可以到我们的网站www.engvid.com上做随堂测验。

And that way you can make sure that you understand this part,

这样你就能知道自己是不是真的掌握了今天的内容了,

and it might help you to decide whether you should do the paper-based test or the computer-delivered test.

说不定还能帮你决定选笔考还是机考呢。

And one way or the other, you know that I wish you the very, very best.

不管怎样,大家都懂我的吧,我真心地祝福大家一切顺利。

I have lots of other IELTS videos which you might want to check into.

我还录了很多其他的讲雅思的课程视频,有兴趣的话不妨去看一看。

And also subscribe, because as I have new lessons,

还有,记得订阅,这样,我一有更新的话,

that way you will know that when you ring the bell that I have a new lesson, and perhaps that lesson can make all the difference.

你点了推送通知的话就能第一时间看到噢,而且,说不定,那节课就是改变你命运的一课噢。

Lots of people say that watching some of our engvid IELTS and TOEFL videos have made all the difference in their success, and I wish you the same, Okay?

再见啦。

Take care.

大家照顾好自己噢。

By the way, one more point: In addition to everything that I've told you here,

补充一句:除了我今天跟大家讲的这些,

don't forget, of course, to check with the official IELTS website
