Many of you want to get band 9 in IELTS speaking, so I decided to show you what the 1% of elite IELTS students do differently

你們很多人都想在雅思口語考試中拿到9分，所以我決定向你們展示那1%的頂尖雅思考生有哪些與眾不同的做法。

from everybody else in the IELTS speaking test.

在雅思口語考試中與其他考生區分開來。

So the IELTS speaking test has three parts.

雅思口語考試分為三個部分。

So I divided this page into three.

所以我把這一頁分成了三部分。

We're going to compare what band 5 and 6 students do very, very differently from band 7, 8, and 9 students from parts 1, parts 2, and parts 3 of the test.

我們將對比分數段5和6的學生與分數段7、8、9的學生在考試第一、第二和第三部分中的截然不同的表現。

So let's start off with part 1.

那我們就從第一部分開始吧。

This is your opportunity to create a great first impression with the examiner.

這是你給考官留下良好第一印象的機會。

And also, and I think more importantly, it allows you to relax into the test.

而且我認為更重要的是，它能讓你在考試中放鬆下來。

If you relax into the test in part one, you're going to be much more relaxed and more fluent in parts two and part three.

如果你在第一部分考試時放鬆心態，那麼在第二和第三部分你會更加從容，表達也會更流暢。

So it's very, very important that you nail part one and get it 100% right.

所以，把第一部分搞定、做到百分之百正確是非常非常重要的。

So there are three things that band five and six students do differently from the band seven, eight and nine students.

所以，5分和6分的考生與7分、8分和9分的考生相比，有三個方面的做法是不同的。

I'd like you to look at this clip of two students answering the same question in part one.

我想請你看一下這段影片，裡面有兩名學生在第一部分回答同一個問題。

And I want you to think about which one might be at a band five or a band six level, and which one is at a band seven, eight or nine level.

我希望大家思考一下，哪一篇可能屬於五分或六分水平，哪一篇屬於七分、八分或九分水平。

I'm from the Philippines.

我來自菲律賓。

In Cebu, to be specific, Cebu is the queen city of the South, by the way.

具體來說，在宿務，順便提一下，宿務是南方的皇后城。

We were colonized by the Spaniards for so long, like for 333 years.

我們被西班牙人殖民了很長時間，長達333年。

I'm from India.

我來自印度。

To be specific, I am born and raised in Delhi and my mom is from Bombay and my dad is from Kerala.

具體來說，我在德里出生長大，我媽媽來自孟買，我爸爸來自喀拉拉邦。

But I've grown up my entire life here in Delhi and I went to school here, went to university here.

但我從小到大一直生活在德里，在這裡上學，在這裡讀大學。

So the first student is doing something that examiners are trained to spot.

所以第一位學生正在做的事情，正是考官們受過專門訓練要去識別的。

This problem creates the worst first impression.

這個問題給人留下的第一印象差到極點。

But more importantly, it could even get you a band zero and that is memorized answers.

但更重要的是，這甚至可能讓你得到零分，原因就在於你用了背下來的答案。

So why is this such a big problem?

那為什麼這會成為一個如此大的問題呢？

Well, first of all, the IELTS test is not a memorization test.

首先，雅思考試不是一個靠死記硬背就能通過的考試。

It is testing your ability to communicate clearly in English, not to memorize a bunch of sentences and just repeat them to the examiner.

它考察的是你用英語清晰溝通的能力，而不是死記硬背一堆句子然後直接複述給考官。

It's also considered cheating.

這也被視為作弊。

That's why they'll give you the band zero.

所以他們會給你打零分。

Think about it this way.

這麼想吧。

If you really knew how to speak English to the level that you're trying to get to, would you need to memorize answers?

如果你真的已經掌握了你想要達到的那種英語水平，你還需要背誦答案嗎？

No, certainly not a band nine student would never have to memorize answers.

不，絕對不是，一個九級水平的學生根本不需要背答案。

And it also lowers your score in two very, very important ways.

而且它還會從兩個非常重要的方面拉低你的分數。

First of all, it just makes you sound worse.

首先，這隻會讓你聽起來更糟。

Listen to this clip and think about how memorization might have led to this student sounding so bad.

聽這段音訊片段，想想死記硬背可能是導致這位學生髮音聽起來如此糟糕的原因。

I'm from Mumbai.

我來自孟買。

It's a city in India.

這是印度的一座城市。

India is known for its culture and vibrant nature.

印度以其文化和充滿活力的自然風光而聞名。

Also for their movie industry.

還有他們的電影產業也是如此。

It's located in Mumbai, where I'm from.

它位於孟買，我的老家就是那裡。

It's called Bollywood.

它被稱為寶萊塢。

It's also known for its food.

它也以美食聞名。

We have really delicious food, which is known worldwide.

我們有享譽世界的美味佳餚。

And people call it their favorite food, as I've heard.

而且我聽說，人們都把它稱作自己最愛的食物。

So did you spot it?

那你發現了嗎？

I want you to think back to when you were a little kid.

我想讓你回想一下你還是個小孩子的時候。

And most teachers get students to read from the book.

而且大多數老師都會讓學生讀課本。

So you're literally looking at the book and reading every word.

所以你真的是盯著書，逐字逐句地讀。

Think about how you and the other students sounded.

回想一下你和其他同學說話時的語氣。

Do you think that you sounded very fluent?

你覺得你當時聽起來很流利嗎？

Not at all.

不客氣。

This is exactly how students sound when they memorize answers.

這正是學生們背誦答案時的語氣。

They sound robotic.

他們的聲音聽起來很機械。

It sounds like a robot reading from a script.

聽起來就像機器人照著稿子念一樣。

But don't worry, there's an easy way to fix that.

不過別擔心，有個簡單的方法可以解決這個問題。

And I'll tell you how to fix it in a second.

我馬上就告訴你怎麼解決這個問題。

So did you spot any other issues?

那你有沒有發現其他問題？

Let me explain here what the other issues were.

讓我在這裡解釋一下其他問題是什麼。

So I want you to imagine this is the destination that we're aiming for.

所以我希望你設想這就是我們正在努力達成的目標。

You're trying to get to a band nine.

你正努力爭取達到九級。

And we have here student A and we have here student B.

這裡我們有學生A，還有學生B。

So the examiner asks them, tell me about your hometown.

於是考官就問他們，給我講講你的家鄉吧。

Student A talks about the history of their hometown, the culture of their hometown, famous things there, the food,

學生A講述了他們家鄉的歷史、家鄉的文化、當地的著名事物以及美食。

the weather, the nightlife, and on and on and on.

天氣、夜生活，諸如此類，數不勝數。

Student B just directly answers the question.

學生B直接回答了這個問題。

And this is what band five and six students often do.

這就是五級和六級水平的學生經常會做的事。

They go off topic.

他們跑題了。

And this is why many of you complain that examiners stop you mid-sentence or mid-answer.

這就是為什麼你們很多人會抱怨考官會在你們話說到一半或者回答到一半的時候打斷你們。

It's not because the examiner is rude or they're not doing their job properly.

這並不是因為考官態度粗魯或者他們工作做得不到位。

The examiner has to ask you about 12 to 15 questions in part one.

考官在第一部分需要向你提出大約12到15個問題。

And if you keep going off topic and just rambling about things that have nothing to do with the question, they have to stop you.

如果你一直跑題，東拉西扯一些和問題毫無關係的內容，他們就必須制止你。

They're actually trying to help you.

他們其實是在試著幫你。

But many students who are not prepared think

但許多沒有做好準備的學生認為

that they just have a bad examiner and they get really nervous

他們只是遇到了一個不好的考官，然後就變得非常緊張。

and they get annoyed and this destroys the rest of their test.

他們就會變得煩躁，進而影響後續的考試發揮。

And there's an easy way to fix this problem.

而且有一個簡單的方法可以解決這個問題。

Band seven, eight, and nine students do something very, very simple, but very, very different.

雅思7分、8分和9分的考生會做一件非常簡單，但又截然不同的事。

I discovered this simple technique when I was teaching in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

我在越南胡志明市教書的時候發現了這個簡單的技巧。

If I was teaching speaking, I would go in maybe 10 or 15 minutes before the class started

如果我要教授口語課，我可能會在上課前10到15分鐘到教室。

and just talk to the students normally about their day or their weekend.

就只是和學生們平常地聊聊他們的一天或者週末的情況。

Just normal, every day, getting to know you, small talk, chit chat questions.

就是一些很平常的日常閒聊、互相認識的輕鬆話題。

And many of the students during that 10

在那10年期間，許多學生

or 15 minutes just spoke to me like they would speak to a friend or a relative.

或者整整十五分鐘，跟我說話的語氣就像跟朋友或親戚聊天一樣。

And many of them gave band nine answers.

他們當中很多人都給出了雅思9分水平的回答。

And then I played a little trick on the class.

然後我給全班同學玩了個小把戲。

I would get one of the students who spoke to me at a band nine level before the class started, maybe about what they did at the weekend.

我會找一位課前和我用雅思9分水平交流過的學生，聊聊他們週末都做了些什麼。

And I would say, okay, let's do a formal mock speaking test.

我當時就說，行，那我們來做一次正式的模擬口語考試吧。

And the first question would be, tell me about your weekend.

第一個問題是，跟我說說你週末過得怎麼樣。

And they would go from a band nine level to saying something like, At the weekend, I went to Vongtao.

他們的水平可能會從九級一下子掉到說出這樣的句子：“週末我去了Vongtao。”

Vongtao is by the sea.

Vongtao 位於海邊。

I ate seafood.

我吃了海鮮。

Seafood is nice.

海鮮很不錯。

So they went from a band 9 level down to a band 5 or 6 level in 10 minutes.

所以他們在10分鐘內從雅思9分的水平掉到了5分或6分的水平。

And I increased the score of the entire class by just asking them one question.

我只問了全班一個問題，就把整個班級的分數都提高了。

Why don't you speak like you did 10 minutes ago?

你為什麼不像十分鐘前那樣說話了？

You see, in the 10 minutes before class, it was a normal conversation.

你看，上課前十分鐘，我們還只是在進行一場很平常的對話。

They were speaking to me like they would speak to any other human being.

他們跟我說話的語氣，就像跟任何一個普通人說話一樣。

They spoke naturally like they would speak to a friend or a work colleague.

他們說話的語氣很自然，就像和朋友或同事聊天一樣。

And they answered every question directly and kept on topic.

而且他們直接回答了每一個問題，始終緊扣主題。

And I call this test mode.

我將這個稱為測試模式。

Great students who can speak naturally at a very, very high level.

那些能夠以非常非常高的水平自然表達的優秀學生。

100

As soon as the test starts, their score dramatically drops.

測試一開始，他們的分數就會大幅下降。

101

But there is an easy way to overcome this.

但有一個簡單的方法可以克服這個問題。

102

And this is something that we hear about nine students using all of the time.

這是我們經常聽到九名學生提到的事情。

103

Watch these clips and try and think of what they do differently.

觀看這些片段，試著思考它們的不同之處。

104

Have you ever received flowers as a gift?

你有沒有收到過鮮花作為禮物？

105

Yes, I have.

是的，我有。

106

Actually, recently I did receive flowers.

其實最近我確實收到過花。

107

And I can't talk enough about flowers.

我怎麼說都不夠，花實在太美好了。

108

I love everything about them, like the variations that you find, the different types and colors.

我喜歡它們的一切，比如你能發現的各種變化、不同的種類和顏色。

109

As simple as like roses to, let's say, tulips.

就好比玫瑰和鬱金香的區別一樣簡單。

110

I love everything about them.

我喜歡他們的一切。

111

Is there anything that you dislike about your job?

你對自己的工作有什麼不喜歡的地方嗎？

112

Me personally, no. But if you ask my fiance, she will tell you that my job takes up a lot of my time.

就我個人而言，我不這麼覺得。但如果你問我的未婚妻，她會告訴你我的工作佔用了我很多時間。

113

And I think she hates that about my job.

而且我覺得她很討厭我工作的這一點。

114

Do you have lots of friends?

你有很多朋友嗎？

115

I do have quite a few friends.

我確實有不少朋友。

116

I feel like I have more acquaintances than friends.

我感覺我的熟人比朋友多。

117

But the people who I really care about, I think I can definitely count them on my fingers.

但那些我真正在乎的人，我想我用一隻手就能數得過來。

118

So did you spot it?

那你發現了嗎？

119

In part one, band nine students normally just directly answer the question in the very first sentence.

在第一部分，九分段的考生通常會在第一句話就直接回答問題。

120

And then they add a little bit more detail.

然後他們又補充了一些細節。

121

This detail could be an explanation.

這個細節或許可以作為一種解釋。

122

It could be an example.

這可以作為一個例子。

123

Or it could be something like a personal story.

或者也可以是類似個人故事這樣的內容。

124

And if using a strategy or a framework like that is a little bit confusing, use this technique instead.

如果使用這類策略或框架讓你感到有些困惑，那就改用這個技巧吧。

125

It's called the coffee shop method.

這被稱為咖啡店法。

126

Imagine you're not speaking to an examiner.

想像你不是在和考官說話。

127

Imagine you're talking to a friend in a coffee shop and they're asking you these questions.

想像你正和朋友在咖啡店裡聊天，他們正在問你這些問題。

128

How would you answer those questions?

你會如何回答這些問題？

129

You definitely wouldn't give a memorized answer or try and insert lots of high-level structures and fancy vocabulary.

你絕對不會給出一個背好的答案，也不會刻意堆砌複雜的句式和華麗的詞彙。

130

You would just answer it naturally.

你自然回答就好。

131

So let's move on to part two of the speaking test.

那麼我們繼續進行口語考試的第二部分。

132

Before we continue, I wanna tell you about our gift PDF.

在我們繼續之前，我想跟你介紹一下我們的贈送PDF資料。

133

I took all of the band 7, 8, and 9 speaking tests that we've ever done, and I analyzed them for the most useful phrases and the top vocabulary.

我整理了我們所有考過的雅思口語7分、8分和9分的考試樣本，分析了其中最實用的表達和高頻詞彙。

134

And I've included all of those in a list in this PDF for you.

我已經把所有這些內容都列在這份PDF的清單裡了。

135

If you want it, all you have to do is just go to the description or the pinned comment, click on the link, and this is my gift to you.

如果你想要的話，你只需要去簡介區或者置頂評論，點選連結，這是我送給你的禮物。

136

So part two is often the most feared part of the IELTS speaking test

因此，第二部分通常是雅思口語考試中最讓考生畏懼的部分。

137

because it requires you to do something that you're not used to doing, or many students just have never done what it requires you to do.

因為它需要你去做一些你不習慣做的事，或者說很多學生根本就從來沒有做過它所要求的事情。

138

So in part two, you'll get a cue card that looks like this, and they'll ask you to speak about this topic for up to two minutes.

在第二部分，你會拿到一張像這樣的提示卡，考官會要求你就這個話題發言，時長最多兩分鐘。

139

This can be quite scary for many students because it's difficult to speak about anything for two minutes, especially in a foreign language,

這對許多學生來說可能相當令人害怕，因為要連續兩分鐘談論任何話題都很困難，尤其是用一門外語。

140

in a test where your whole future is at stake, and you have a scary examiner like me staring at you.

在一場決定你整個未來的考試中，還有像我這樣嚴厲的考官盯著你。

141

But what if I told you it's not part two that is scary?

但如果我告訴你，可怕的並不是第二部呢？

142

It's not part two that leads to lower scores.

導致分數降低的並不是第二部分。

143

It is the strategy that most students use that leads to it being scary and leads to lower scores.

正是大多數學生採用的這種策略，才導致考試變得可怕，也導致分數更低。

144

And the interesting thing is once students stop using the same old strategies

有趣的是，一旦學生不再使用那些一成不變的老方法

145

that most band five and six students use and switch to the techniques that we teach our students, not only does this fear of part two go away,

大多數五級和六級水平的學生都會使用並轉而採用我們教給學生的技巧，這樣一來，對第二部分的這種恐懼就會消失。

146

but our students actually look forward to part two of the speaking test

但我們的學生其實都很期待口語考試的第二部分。

147

because it will give them a chance to show the examiner how great they are.

因為這會讓他們有機會向考官展示自己的出色之處。

148

First, listen to the student and let me know if you can spot any problems with what they're doing.

首先，先聽聽學生的發言，然後告訴我你是否能發現他們做法中存在的任何問題。

149

So I'll describe the house of my grandma.

那我來描述一下我奶奶的房子。

150

So who lives there?

那誰住在那裡呢？

151

My grandma lives there.

我奶奶住在那裡。

152

And my grandpa used to live there.

而且我爺爺以前就住在那裡。

153

Where the property is, it's in the mountain in Beirut, in Lebanon.

該房產位於黎巴嫩貝魯特的山區。

154

What it looks like?

它看起來是什麼樣子？

155

It looks like a castle for me.

在我看來，這就像一座城堡。

156

it's not a castle

這不是一座城堡

157

but for me it's like a castle we we have a

但對我來說，這就像一座城堡，我們有一個

158

lot of memories there that's why I decided to talk about this house

那裡承載著很多回憶，這就是為什麼我決定聊聊這棟房子。

159

if you like it definitely I do I like this house as I mentioned

如果你喜歡的話，我肯定也喜歡，就像我之前說的，我很喜歡這棟房子。

160

because it reminds me of my childhood and the best days we spent there

因為它讓我想起了我的童年，還有我們在那裡度過的最美好的時光。

161

and we're still spending

而且我們還在繼續花錢

162

when we go to see her we have a lot of

我們去看她的時候，有很多話要說。

163

memories we had good food she used to cook a lot for us The house is simply like, I feel like home.

那些回憶裡有我們一起享用的美食，她以前經常為我們做飯。那房子給我的感覺，就像家一樣。

164

I just love it.

165

So what most students do is they look at the cue card, they look at the topic, and then they talk about bullet point number one, then they talk about bullet point number two, then three, then four.

所以大多數學生的做法是，他們看著提示卡，看著題目，然後講第一個要點，接著講第二個要點，再講第三個，再講第四個。

166

But why is that a problem?

但這為什麼會成為一個問題呢？

167

So first of all, there might be one

首先，可能存在一個。

168

or more of these bullet points where you just don't have much to say about them.

或者其中有好幾條要點，你實在沒什麼可說的。

169

You know, for example, how you learn to prepare this and you pick toast and you can't remember, or there's not much to say about making toast.

比如說，你學怎麼準備這道食物，選了吐司，卻記不清步驟，或者說做吐司這件事本身也沒什麼好說的。

170

Or there might be something that you just feel very uncomfortable talking about that.

或者可能有些話題你一談起就會覺得非常不自在。

171

For example, explain how you felt.

例如，解釋一下你當時的感受。

172

You're like, how do I feel about toast?

你是想問，我對吐司是什麼看法嗎？

173

I don't have any feelings about toast.

我對吐司沒什麼特別的感覺。

174

Or you're just not the type of person that likes talking about their feelings like me.

或者你只是和我一樣，不是那種喜歡談論自己感受的人。

175

So remember what the task is.

所以要記住任務是什麼。

176

The task is to speak fluently about this topic for up to two minutes.

任務要求就這個話題進行時長最多兩分鐘的流暢發言。

177

If you follow that strategy of just bullet point number one, two, three, four, you're going to run out of things to say after about 30 seconds,

如果你只採用那種列點一、二、三、四的策略，大概30秒後你就會無話可說了。

178

and then your brain goes into panic mode or your brain just goes completely blank and you don't know what to say.

然後你的大腦就會進入恐慌模式，或者直接一片空白，完全不知道該說什麼。

179

To make matters worse, when this happens, and it happens to a lot of students, they can destroy the rest of their test because part three is coming up.

更糟糕的是，這種情況發生時——而且很多學生都會遇到——他們可能會因為第三部分即將到來而毀掉整場考試的剩餘部分。

180

They're going to ask you more and more difficult questions and you're just going to be like, I've just ruined my life or what am I going to do?

他們會問你越來越難的問題，而你只會覺得，我這是毀了自己的人生嗎，或者我該怎麼辦？

181

And you know, your test success is over.

而且你知道，你的測試已經通過了。

182

So I want you to listen to this student who got a band nine in the real test.

所以我想讓你聽聽這位在正式考試中拿到9分的考生的發言。

183

And I want you to listen to their answer

我希望你聽聽他們的回答。

184

and look at the cue card and think about what they're doing differently with the cue card?

然後看看提示卡，想想他們在使用提示卡的方式上有什麼不同？

185

Food that I learned to prepare.

我學會製作的食物。

186

I'm pescatarian, so I don't eat meat, but I love food and I have a gluten intolerance, so I can't eat a lot of the Indian food.

我是魚素主義者，不吃肉類，但我很愛吃，而且我有麩質不耐受，所以很多印度菜我都吃不了。

187

So this is a little recipe that I learned how to make, which is basically paneer.

這是我學會的一個小食譜，做的基本上就是印度乳酪paneer。

188

We call it cottage cheese in English.

我們在英語裡叫它cottage cheese。

189

It's like a it's like a spiced tomato base with cottage cheese with paratha,

這就像是用調味番茄醬打底，配上茅屋芝士和印度拋餅。

190

roti, but it's made out of ragi flour, which is gluten free and super rich in calcium and very good for people with diabetes,

這是用 ragi 粉做的羅蒂，不含麩質，鈣含量極高，對糖尿病患者非常有益。

191

although I don't have diabetes.

雖然我沒有糖尿病。

192

It's very nutritious, basically.

基本上，它的營養非常豐富。

193

Together, it's the perfect meal.

搭配在一起就是完美的一餐。

194

It keeps you full.

它能讓你有飽腹感。

195

I love being healthy.

我喜歡保持健康。

196

I try to be as healthy as I can.

我儘量保持健康。

197

So yeah, that's probably my go-to meal in the evening because I don't have to think about, I have all the ingredients.

所以沒錯，這大概就是我晚上最常吃的一餐，因為我不用費腦子想，所有食材都有。

198

I don't have to think about how to make it.

我不需要去想該怎麼做。

199

It's kind of automatic and it's delicious, which is the most important part.

這幾乎是自然而然的事，而且味道很棒，這才是最重要的。

200

It's not compromising on the taste because I can't eat salmon and rice every day.

這並不會犧牲口感，因為我不可能每天都吃三文魚配米飯。

201

I want to eat something that's more flavorful and nutritious.

我想吃些味道更豐富、營養更豐富的東西。

202

Sometimes when I'm feeling adventurous, I like to eat it with yogurt,

有時候當我想嘗試點新花樣時，我喜歡把它和酸奶一起吃。

203

either Greek yogurt or regular yogurt and add a couple Indian spices into it and mix it up.

用希臘酸奶或普通酸奶，加入幾種印度香料，然後攪拌均勻。

204

So the spiciness of the paneer, cottage cheese, the texture, like a drier,

所以，印度乳酪paneer的辣味，還有它的口感，那種偏乾的質地，

205

stiffer texture of the and the creaminess and coldness of the yogurt is match made in heaven.

質地更濃稠的口感與酸奶的綿密冰涼簡直是天作之合。

206

So hopefully you spotted that they don't stick to the bullet points.

希望你已經注意到他們並沒有嚴格按照要點來。

207

Instead, what they do is they focus on the main topic.

相反，他們所做的是專注於核心主題。

208

So they're always talking about the main topic at the top of the cue card, but they're not necessarily using all of the bullet points.

所以他們總是圍繞著提示卡頂部的主題展開討論，但不一定會用到所有的要點。

209

What they do instead is we give them the freedom to add other bullet points.

他們的做法是，我們給予他們新增其他要點的自由。

210

This strategy allows them to talk about the main topic, but it gives them the freedom to only talk about things

這種策略讓他們能夠圍繞主題展開討論，同時又賦予他們只談論特定內容的自由。

211

that they feel comfortable talking about at length related to that main topic.

他們願意圍繞那個核心話題暢所欲言、深入探討。

212

For example, if you got this cue card, you might feel very comfortable talking about these two bullet points,

舉個例子，如果你拿到這張提示卡，你可能會覺得談論這兩個要點非常輕鬆。

213

but this third bullet point is only going to take maybe a few seconds to discuss.

但這第三個要點討論起來可能只需要幾秒鐘。

214

And this fourth bullet point might be on something that you know nothing about, or you don't feel very comfortable talking about that.

而這第四點可能涉及你完全不瞭解的領域，或者是你不太願意談論的話題。

215

But there might be other things related to the main topic you feel more comfortable talking about.

但可能還有一些與主題相關的其他內容，你會覺得聊起來更自在。

216

It's easier for you to talk about those things, such as a description, a story about that main topic, how you feel about that main topic, or the past or the present or the future,

談論那些事情對你來說會更容易，比如相關的描述、圍繞那個主題的故事、你對那個主題的感受，或是關於過去、現在或未來的內容。

217

or anything that you find easier to talk about as long as you're talking about that main topic.

或者任何你覺得更容易談論的內容，只要不偏離那個核心話題就行。

218

Now, should you talk about all of those ideas?

那麼，你是否應該把所有這些想法都談一談呢？

219

No, only the things that help you speak fluently for up to two minutes about the main topic.

不，只有那些能幫助你就主題流暢表達長達兩分鐘的內容才重要。

220

only do things that help you do what the examiners are looking for.

只做那些能幫你達到考官要求的事情。

221

Now let's move on to, in my opinion, the most difficult part of the whole speaking test, part three.

現在我們來談談我認為整個口語考試中最難的部分，也就是第三部分。

222

So why is it so difficult?

那為什麼會這麼難呢？

223

Listen to these students and focus more on the questions being asked.

聽聽這些學生的發言，重點關注他們提出的問題。

224

Listen to their answers, of course, but think about how the questions being asked are different from part one and part two.

當然要聽他們的回答，但也要思考提出的問題與第一部分和第二部分有何不同。

225

For bonus points, think about how you might respond to each question.

為了獲得附加分，可以思考一下你會如何回答每個問題。

226

Are there any important festivals in your country that celebrate a change of season or type of weather.

你們國家有沒有什麼重要節日是用來慶祝季節更替或者某種天氣現象的？

227

I'm not sure about this.

我對此不太確定。

228

What role does natural talent play in mastering a skill?

天賦在掌握一項技能的過程中扮演著怎樣的角色？

229

I'm sorry, can I have the question again?

不好意思，能再重複一遍問題嗎？

230

Yeah.

是的。

231

What role does patience play in achieving long-term goals?

耐心在實現長期目標的過程中扮演著怎樣的角色？

232

So as you just heard, part three questions can be a lot more challenging than typical part one and even part two questions.

正如你剛才聽到的，第三部分的問題可能比典型的第一部分甚至第二部分的問題更具挑戰性。

233

But like everything with the IELTS test, the problem is not the questions.

但就像雅思考試的所有環節一樣，問題並不出在題目本身。

234

The problem is the common strategies that most students use to answer them.

問題在於大多數學生用來解答這些題的常用策略。

235

So let's start off by telling you the things that you should not do.

首先，我們來談談你不應該做的事情。

236

The number one thing that you should never do in part three is give no answer at all.

在第三部分你絕對不能做的頭等大事就是完全不回答。

237

So this has happened thousands of times.

這種情況已經發生過成千上萬次了。

238

I've asked a question in part three and a student has just been like, literally nothing has come out of their mouth.

我在第三部分提了一個問題，結果有個學生就只是那樣，嘴裡完全沒說出話來。

239

I've had other students who just burst out laughing for some reason.

我還遇到過其他一些學生，他們不知怎麼就突然大笑起來。

240

But what you are saying to the examiner, if you give no response or burst out laughing in their faces, I don't have enough English to answer this question.

但你要對考官說的是，如果你沒有做出回應，或者當著他們的面突然大笑，那就是“我沒有足夠的英語能力來回答這個問題”。

241

That's very, very important because it is an English test.

這非常非常重要，因為這是一場英語考試。

242

But don't worry, I understand many of you are probably thinking, but what if I get a question I literally cannot answer?

不過別擔心，我知道你們很多人可能在想，但如果我遇到一個完全答不上來的問題怎麼辦？

243

I don't have anything to say.

我沒什麼可說的。

244

Don't worry, we'll give you a strategy in a second for how to deal with those types of questions.

別擔心，我們馬上就會給你一個應對這類問題的策略。

245

The next thing you should never do in part three is give a very, very short answer.

在第三部分，你絕對不應該做的下一件事就是給出非常簡短的回答。

246

Now, the reason why students give very, very short answers is often nothing to do with their English in part three.

現在，學生給出非常簡短的回答，往往和第三部分的英語水平沒有關係。

247

It's often because speaking for 15 minutes in a foreign language, in a test that is going to determine which country you live in in the future is very, very stressful.

這往往是因為在一場決定你未來將定居在哪個國家的考試中，用外語講15分鐘會帶來非常大的壓力。

248

A lot of students are just fatigued, they're tired, and they want the whole process to be over.

很多學生只是感到身心俱疲，他們累了，只希望整個過程快點結束。

249

So even subconsciously, they will give very short answers because they want the examiner just to say the magic words.

所以即使是在潛意識裡，他們也會給出非常簡短的回答，因為他們只想讓考官說出那句關鍵的話。

250

That's the end of the speaking test.

口語考試到此結束。

251

So you should never give short answers and you should never give up.

所以你永遠不應該給出簡短的回答，也永遠不要放棄。

252

And we call this surrendering.

我們稱之為臣服。

253

It's just people putting their hands up saying, Please, I give up.

這只不過是人們舉起雙手說，求你了，我放棄了。

254

Just let me go.

就讓我走吧。

255

You must never do this.

你絕對不能這麼做。

256

Because again, how the examiner interprets this is you don't have enough English to answer this question.

因為話說回來，考官會認為你英語水平不夠，答不出這道題。

257

And how we stop our students from surrendering is we give them this little trick that not many people know about.

我們防止學生放棄的方法，是教給他們一個很少有人知道的小技巧。

258

During the test, the examiner is looking down and they have a range of different questions.

考試過程中，考官會低頭檢視一系列不同的考題。

259

And when they get to part three, they have some questions for the students who are at a band five, band six level

當他們進入第三部分時，會向處於5分、6分水平的學生提出一些問題。

260

and then they have more difficult questions for the students that are a band seven, eight, and nine.

然後，他們會給雅思7分、8分和9分水平的學生出更難的題目。

261

This is so that they can separate out the different bands.

這樣他們就能分離出不同的條帶。

262

If they are asking you one of the very, very difficult questions, you should be happy, all right?

如果他們問了你一個非常難的問題，你應該感到高興，明白嗎？

263

Because that means they think that you are capable of getting a band seven, eight, or nine.

因為那意味著他們認為你有能力考到七分、八分甚至九分。

264

So our strategy is to try and get the examiner to ask more

所以我們的策略是儘量讓考官多提問。

265

and more difficult questions and the more difficult they get, the happier you should be.

遇到更難的問題，而且問題越難，你就應該越開心。

266

And how you will get there is by always giving an answer and always developing your answer.

而你實現這一點的方法，就是始終給出答案，並且不斷完善你的答案。

267

So how can we do that?

那我們該如何做到這一點呢？

268

The first and most important thing is always attempt an answer.

首要且最重要的一點永遠是要試著給出答案。

269

But what if you have no idea?

但如果你完全不知道該怎麼辦呢？

270

What if it's about a topic you know nothing about?

如果是一個你完全不瞭解的話題怎麼辦？

271

You could do something like this.

你可以這樣做。

272

I'm not too familiar with the topic of AI and its relation with education.

我對人工智慧及其與教育的關係這個話題不是很熟悉。

273

However, in my knowledge, I do know that AI is developing more and more.

不過，據我所知，人工智慧確實正在不斷發展。

274

and it might be able to replace some teachers' jobs or tasks, but it will not replace the trait of empathy.

它或許能夠取代部分教師的工作或任務，但永遠無法取代共情這一特質。

275

Remember, it is not a knowledge test.

記住，這不是一場知識測試。

276

It is not a test of your knowledge of that topic.

這並不是在測試你對該主題的知識掌握程度。

277

It is a speaking test.

這是一場口語考試。

278

If you don't give an answer or a very, very short answer, you're saying to the examiner, my English is not good enough.

如果你不回答，或者給出一個非常簡短的答案，你就等於在告訴考官，你的英語不夠好。

279

But if you attempt an answer in the way we showed you, you're saying my knowledge of that topic is not high enough.

但如果你試圖用我們教你的方式來回答，那你就是在說我對那個主題的瞭解還不夠深入。

280

And that indicates to the examiner that they need to switch topics

這會提示考官需要轉換話題了。

281

in order for you to show how good your English actually is.

好讓你展示一下你的英語水平到底有多好。

282

Believe it or not, the examiners want you to do well, but you must signal to them that this is just not a great topic for you.

信不信由你，考官其實是希望你考得好的，但你必須向他們表明，這個話題對你來說確實不太擅長。

283

But if you say nothing, then what you're really saying is I'm not good enough to answer any question on any topic.

但如果你什麼都不說，那你實際上就是在說，我連回答任何話題的問題都不夠格。

284

But even though it is this huge fear of students about what if I get a topic I know nothing about,

但即便學生們非常害怕抽到自己完全不瞭解的題目，

285

it is far more likely that you will get a topic you can speak about, that you do know a little bit about.

你更有可能抽到一個你能聊得上來、而且多少有所瞭解的話題。

286

So how can you show the examiner how great your English level is with a topic you know a little bit about?

那麼，遇到一個你瞭解不多的話題時，要如何向考官展示你的英語水平有多出色呢？

287

Watch this clip and think about what the student does in terms of how they structure their answer.

觀看這段影片片段，思考這名學生在組織回答時採用了怎樣的結構。

288

What skills does a person need to be a great chef?

成為一名出色的廚師需要具備哪些技能？

289

Interesting.

有意思。

290

I think, I mean, from what I've heard, I've never worked as a chef or worked in a kitchen before, but I think it takes a lot of trial and error.

我覺得，我的意思是，根據我聽到的說法，我以前從來沒當過廚師，也沒在廚房工作過，但我覺得這需要大量的反覆試錯。

291

So for that reason, I would imagine that the person would have to be very patient.

因此，出於這個原因，我想那個人必須非常有耐心。

292

And with that patience, you need to have an inherent passion for the food that you're making.

除了耐心，你還得對自己正在製作的食物懷有發自內心的熱愛。

293

I think chefs usually specialize in one or more cuisines.

我覺得廚師通常會專精於一種或多種菜系。

294

so just having an understanding of the background of the spices

所以只要瞭解這些香料的背景知識就好

295

where it comes from of the meat where it comes from

這些肉的來源是什麼。

296

if you're not passionate about that it can probably tire you out to be that

如果你對這件事沒有熱情，那麼去做這件事很可能會讓你感到疲憊。

297

invested in learning so patience passion

投入時間學習，需要的是耐心與熱情。

298

and a good environment like access to good teachers access to

還有良好的環境，比如能接觸到優秀的教師、能獲得……

299

good books access to good produce would probably help you hone your craft a lot more

優質的書籍和獲取優質食材的渠道，或許能極大地幫助你精進技藝。

於是他們做了四件事。

303

A, they directly answered the question.

A，他們直接回答了這個問題。

304

They then explained why they think that or why other people think that.

隨後他們解釋了自己為什麼會這麼想，或者其他人為什麼會這麼想。

305

They then backed it up with examples or you could use a personal story.

然後他們會用例子來支撐觀點，或者你也可以用個人經歷來佐證。

306

And then they developed the answer even more by showing the other side of the argument.

隨後，他們又通過展示論點的另一面，進一步完善了自己的觀點。

307

Often for part three, they will ask you questions where there are two sides to the answer.

通常在第三部分，考官會提出答案有兩面性的問題。

308

Or you could give a new point.

或者你可以提出一個新的觀點。

309

But here's the key lesson for the entirety of the speaking test.

但這是整個口語考試的關鍵經驗。

310

What do all of these band 7, 8, or 9 students have in common?

這些雅思7分、8分或者9分的學生都有什麼共同點？

311

Well, when you're speaking to a band 7, 8, or 9 student, it doesn't feel like a speaking test.

當你和雅思口語7分、8分或者9分水平的學生交流時，你會感覺這不像是一場口語考試。

312

It feels like having a normal conversation.

感覺就像在進行一場普通的對話。

313

These higher level students answer questions naturally.

這些高水平的學生能自然地回答問題。

314

And one way they do that is to steer the conversation to things they feel comfortable talking about.

他們做到這一點的一個方法就是把談話引導到他們覺得聊起來自在的話題上。

315

It's easy for them to talk about these things.

對他們來說，談論這些事很容易。

316

They don't use tricks or hacks to try and cheat the test.

他們不會使用任何技巧或投機取巧的手段來試圖在測試中作弊。

317

The test cannot be cheated.

這場考試無法作弊。

318

Instead, they use the English they already have to clearly communicate with the examiner

相反，他們會運用自己已掌握的英語與考官進行清晰的交流。

319

and to show the examiner the score they truly deserve.

並向考官展示他們真正應得的分數。

320

And how they got to that stage is not just doing lots of practice, but perfect practice.

他們能達到那樣的水平，靠的不僅僅是大量練習，而是精準高效的練習。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
