自從11月考完雅思，就一直想寫點(diǎn)東西的，但是一直被繁忙的教學(xué)工作占著我的時(shí)間。我是山東大學(xué)學(xué)術(shù)交流中心的雅思老師。在事先沒有任何準(zhǔn)備的情況下，我很榮幸在今年11月23日的濟(jì)南雅思考試中考了8.5分，聽力，閱讀，寫作，和口語分別是9，8.5，7，9，不過我覺得雅思考官故意不讓我得滿分，因?yàn)槲业淖魑木谷恢坏昧?分，但是絕對(duì)最少應(yīng)該8分的啊，真是郁悶，可惜啊，本來以為能拿9分的，但是后來聽考官朋友說，這已經(jīng)是中國雅思考區(qū)的最高分了，^_^。不過聽說，鬼子是故意不讓人得9分的，不知道是否是真的。我寫這篇文章的目的有兩個(gè)。首先，我想消除一些大家關(guān)于雅思考試的誤解。其次，作為一個(gè)教授雅思的老師，幫助學(xué)生得到一個(gè)反映他們真實(shí)水平的成績也是我的愿望。
我將重點(diǎn)放在口語部分，因?yàn)樗麄冏畲蟮睦Щ笏坪跏窃谟谶@里。好多人認(rèn)為這是一種讓你show英語口才的考試。這是不正確的。如果在考試中，你說“Hello",就已經(jīng)足夠憑此給你一個(gè)分?jǐn)?shù)了。當(dāng)然，這種考試是測(cè)試考生的英語應(yīng)用能力的。這也意味著如果你想獲得高分，交流是關(guān)鍵。僅僅記住一堆長句子是沒用的。同樣的，用一些深?yuàn)W無比的術(shù)語，以此希望讓考官敬畏你也是沒有什麼用處的。我經(jīng)常用下面這個(gè)例子來向我的學(xué)生闡明我的觀點(diǎn)。想象你身在英國，你正在沿街走進(jìn)一幢建筑物，想著自己的事情，突然有人大喊：“別進(jìn)去，那里有炸彈”。如果你不明白，你有兩個(gè)選擇，第一，你可以說“What do you mean？”或者你可以繼續(xù)走，向那個(gè)家伙揮揮手，滑稽的笑著說“Good morning and have a nice day”
誠實(shí)的說，雅思考試真的不難�？荚嚨哪康氖菧y(cè)試你是否擁有在英語國家生存的基本語言能力。但實(shí)際中，學(xué)生們好像不得不隱藏他們的英語語言上的不足。所以，我想說，考官知道你不是native speaker,但是他們不會(huì)介意。他們想知道你是否有足夠的英語能力應(yīng)付你在現(xiàn)實(shí)中可能遇到的情況。并且同樣重要的是，在這種情況下，你知道該怎樣做。這對(duì)于獲得一個(gè)好的分?jǐn)?shù)是非常必要的。
最后，我祝愿所有要參加雅思考試的考生好運(yùn)�。�
My purpose in writing this article is twofold. Firstly, I want to dispel certain misconceptions with regard to the IELTS examination. Secondly, as both a
native speaker of English and an IELTS lecturer, it is my hope to be able to aid students in attaining good scores that truly reflect their English abilities.
I will focus on the Speaking section because the greatest amount of bewilderment seems to lie here. It is commonly thought that the test is one of English speaking. This is not true. If you say "Hello" in the exam, it will be sufficient to give you a band score. Rather, you are being tested for English usage. What this means is that in order to obtain a high score, communication is the key. It is not helpful to memorize and regurgitate lengthy speeches. Nor is it any good to make use of esoteric nomenclature in the hopes of putting the examiner in awe.
A simple anecdote that I always tell my students to illustrate my point is as follows. Imagine yourself in England. You are walking down the street into a building, minding your own business, when out of nowhere, someone screams, "Don't go in there, there's a bomb!"; Well, if you do not understand, you have two options open to you. First, you could reply, "What do you mean?" Or you could continue walking, raise a hand to wave at the person while wearing a comical smile and saying, "Good morning and have a nice day."
Honestly speaking, the IELTS is really that simple. The purpose of the exam is to see if you have the basic language skills needed to survive in an English speaking country. Students seem to think that they have to disguise their deficiencies in English. So let me make this pronouncement. We know that you are not native speakers. We know that you don't always understand every word in the English lexicon. But we don't care. We want to know if you speak enough English to cope with the situations you will face. And equally important, that you demonstrate you know what to do in situations where you do not. This first realization is necessary towards attaining a good score.
With that, I wish all students who wish to take the IELTS exam the very best of luck.
