132
Before we continue, I wanna tell you about our gift PDF.
在我们继续之前,我想跟你介绍一下我们的赠送PDF资料。
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.
我整理了我们所有考过的雅思口语7分、8分和9分的考试样本,分析了其中最实用的表达和高频词汇。

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.
如果你想要的话,你只需要去简介区或者置顶评论,点击链接,这是我送给你的礼物。
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语考试中最让考生畏惧的部分。
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.
因为它需要你去做一些你不习惯做的事,或者说很多学生根本就从来没有做过它所要求的事情。
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,你会拿到一张像这样的提示卡,考官会要求你就这个话题发言,时长最多两分钟。
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,
这对许多学生来说可能相当令人害怕,因为要连续两分钟谈论任何话题都很困难,尤其是用一门外语。
140
in a test where your whole future is at stake, and you have a scary examiner like me staring at you.
在一场决定你整个未来的考试中,还有像我这样严厉的考官盯着你。
141
But what if I told you it's not part two that is scary?
但如果我告诉你,可怕的并不是第二部呢?
142
It's not part two that leads to lower scores.
导致分数降低的并不是第二部分。
143
It is the strategy that most students use that leads to it being scary and leads to lower scores.
正是大多数学生采用的这种策略,才导致考试变得可怕,也导致分数更低。
144
And the interesting thing is once students stop using the same old strategies
有趣的是,一旦学生不再使用那些一成不变的老方法
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,
大多数五级和六级水平的学生都会使用并转而采用我们教给学生的技巧,这样一来,对第二部分的这种恐惧就会消失。
146
but our students actually look forward to part two of the speaking test
但我们的学生其实都很期待口语考试的第二部分。
147
because it will give them a chance to show the examiner how great they are.
因为这会让他们有机会向考官展示自己的出色之处。
148

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.
所以大多数学生的做法是,他们看着提示卡,看着题目,然后讲第一个要点,接着讲第二个要点,再讲第三个,再讲第四个。
166
But why is that a problem?

167
So first of all, there might be one

168
or more of these bullet points where you just don't have much to say about them.

你是想问,我对吐司是什么看法吗?

174
Or you're just not the type of person that likes talking about their feelings like me.
或者你只是和我一样,不是那种喜欢谈论自己感受的人。
175
So remember what the task is.
所以要记住任务是什么。
176
The task is to speak fluently about this topic for up to two minutes.
任务要求就这个话题进行时长最多两分钟的流畅发言。
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,
如果你只采用那种列点一、二、三、四的策略,大概30秒后你就会无话可说了。
178
and then your brain goes into panic mode or your brain just goes completely blank and you don't know what to say.
然后你的大脑就会进入恐慌模式,或者直接一片空白,完全不知道该说什么。
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,这种情况发生时——而且很多学生都会遇到——他们可能会因为第三部分即将到来而毁掉整场考试的剩余部分。
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?

185
Food that I learned to prepare.
我学会制作的食物。
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.
我是鱼素主义者,不吃肉类,但我很爱吃,而且我有麸质不耐受,所以很多印度菜我都吃不了。

这是用 ragi 粉做的罗蒂,不含麸质,钙含量极高,对糖尿病患者非常有益。

所以没错,这大概就是我晚上最常吃的一餐,因为我不用费脑子想,所有食材都有。
198

我不需要去想该怎么做。
199
It's kind of automatic and it's delicious, which is the most important part.
这几乎是自然而然的事,而且味道很棒,这才是最重要的。
200
It's not compromising on the taste because I can't eat salmon and rice every day.

201
I want to eat something that's more flavorful and nutritious.

205
stiffer texture of the and the creaminess and coldness of the yogurt is match made in heaven.
质地更浓稠的口感与酸奶的绵密冰凉简直是天作之合。

So hopefully you spotted that they don't stick to the bullet points.
希望你已经注意到他们并没有严格按照要点来。
207
Instead, what they do is they focus on the main topic.
相反,他们所做的是专注于核心主题。
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.
所以他们总是围绕着提示卡顶部的主题展开讨论,但不一定会用到所有的要点。
209
What they do instead is we give them the freedom to add other bullet points.
他们的做法是,我们给予他们添加其他要点的自由。
210
This strategy allows them to talk about the main topic, but it gives them the freedom to only talk about things
这种策略让他们能够围绕主题展开讨论,同时又赋予他们只谈论特定内容的自由。
211
that they feel comfortable talking about at length related to that main topic.
他们愿意围绕那个核心话题畅所欲言、深入探讨。
212
For example, if you got this cue card, you might feel very comfortable talking about these two bullet points,
举个例子,如果你拿到这张提示卡,你可能会觉得谈论这两个要点非常轻松。
213
but this third bullet point is only going to take maybe a few seconds to discuss.
但这第三个要点讨论起来可能只需要几秒钟。
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.
而这第四点可能涉及你完全不了解的领域,或者是你不太愿意谈论的话题。
215
But there might be other things related to the main topic you feel more comfortable talking about.
但可能还有一些与主题相关的其他内容,你会觉得聊起来更自在。
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,
谈论那些事情对你来说会更容易,比如相关的描述、围绕那个主题的故事、你对那个主题的感受,或是关于过去、现在或未来的内容。
217
or anything that you find easier to talk about as long as you're talking about that main topic.
或者任何你觉得更容易谈论的内容,只要不偏离那个核心话题就行。
218
Now, should you talk about all of those ideas?
那么,你是否应该把所有这些想法都谈一谈呢?
219
No, only the things that help you speak fluently for up to two minutes about the main topic.
不,只有那些能帮助你就主题流畅表达长达两分钟的内容才重要。
220
only do things that help you do what the examiners are looking for.
只做那些能帮你达到考官要求的事情。
221
Now let's move on to, in my opinion, the most difficult part of the whole speaking test, part three.
现在我们来谈谈我认为整个口语考试中最难的部分,也就是第三部分。
222
So why is it so difficult?
那为什么会这么难呢?
223
Listen to these students and focus more on the questions being asked.
听听这些学生的发言,重点关注他们提出的问题。
224
Listen to their answers, of course, but think about how the questions being asked are different from part one and part two.
当然要听他们的回答,但也要思考提出的问题与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.
为了获得附加分,可以思考一下你会如何回答每个问题。
226
Are there any important festivals in your country that celebrate a change of season or type of weather.
你们国家有没有什么重要节日是用来庆祝季节更替或者某种天气现象的?
227
I'm not sure about this.
我对此不太确定。
228
What role does natural talent play in mastering a skill?
天赋在掌握一项技能的过程中扮演着怎样的角色?
229
I'm sorry, can I have the question again?
不好意思,能再重复一遍问题吗?
230
Yeah.
是的。
231
What role does patience play in achieving long-term goals?
耐心在实现长期目标的过程中扮演着怎样的角色?
232
So as you just heard, part three questions can be a lot more challenging than typical part one and even part two questions.
正如你刚才听到的,第三部分的问题可能比典型的第一部分甚至第二部分的问题更具挑战性。
233
But like everything with the IELTS test, the problem is not the questions.
但就像雅思考试的所有环节一样,问题并不出在题目本身。
234
The problem is the common strategies that most students use to answer them.
问题在于大多数学生用来解答这些题的常用策略。
235
So let's start off by telling you the things that you should not do.
首先,我们来谈谈你不应该做的事情。
236
The number one thing that you should never do in part three is give no answer at all.
在第三部分你绝对不能做的头等大事就是完全不回答。
237
So this has happened thousands of times.
这种情况已经发生过成千上万次了。
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个问题,结果有个学生就只是那样,嘴里完全没说出话来。
239
I've had other students who just burst out laughing for some reason.
我还遇到过其他一些学生,他们不知怎么就突然大笑起来。
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.
但你要对考官说的是,如果你没有做出回应,或者当着他们的面突然大笑,那就是“我没有足够的英语能力来回答这个问题”。
241
That's very, very important because it is an English test.
这非常非常重要,因为这是一场英语考试。
242
But don't worry, I understand many of you are probably thinking, but what if I get a question I literally cannot answer?
不过别担心,我知道你们很多人可能在想,但如果我遇到一个完全答不上来的问题怎么办?
243
I don't have anything to say.
我没什么可说的。
244
Don't worry, we'll give you a strategy in a second for how to deal with those types of questions.
别担心,我们马上就会给你一个应对这类问题的策略。
245
The next thing you should never do in part three is give a very, very short answer.
在第三部分,你绝对不应该做的下一件事就是给出非常简短的回答。
246
Now, the reason why students give very, very short answers is often nothing to do with their English in part three.
现在,学生给出非常简短的回答,往往和第三部分的英语水平没有关系。
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.
这往往是因为在一场决定你未来将定居在哪个国家的考试中,用外语讲15分钟会带来非常大的压力。
248
A lot of students are just fatigued, they're tired, and they want the whole process to be over.
很多学生只是感到身心俱疲,他们累了,只希望整个过程快点结束。
249
So even subconsciously, they will give very short answers because they want the examiner just to say the magic words.
所以即使是在潜意识里,他们也会给出非常简短的回答,因为他们只想让考官说出那句关键的话。
250
That's the end of the speaking test.
口语考试到此结束。
251
So you should never give short answers and you should never give up.
所以你永远不应该给出简短的回答,也永远不要放弃。
252
And we call this surrendering.
我们称之为臣服。
253
It's just people putting their hands up saying, Please, I give up.
这只不过是人们举起双手说,求你了,我放弃了。
254
Just let me go.
就让我走吧。
255
You must never do this.
你绝对不能这么做。
256
Because again, how the examiner interprets this is you don't have enough English to answer this question.
因为话说回来,考官会认为你英语水平不够,答不出这道题。
257
And how we stop our students from surrendering is we give them this little trick that not many people know about.
我们防止学生放弃的方法,是教给他们一个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.
考试过程中,考官会低头查看一系列不同的考题。
259
And when they get to part three, they have some questions for the students who are at a band five, band six level
当他们进入第三部分时,会向处于5分、6分水平的学生提出一些问题。
260
and then they have more difficult questions for the students that are a band seven, eight, and nine.
然后,他们会给雅思7分、8分和9分水平的学生出更难的题目。
261
This is so that they can separate out the different bands.
这样他们就能分离出不同的条带。
262
If they are asking you one of the very, very difficult questions, you should be happy, all right?
如果他们问了你一个非常难的问题,你应该感到高兴,明白吗?
263
Because that means they think that you are capable of getting a band seven, eight, or nine.
因为那意味着他们认为你有能力考到七分、八分甚至九分。
264
So our strategy is to try and get the examiner to ask more
所以我们的策略是尽量让考官多提问。
265
and more difficult questions and the more difficult they get, the happier you should be.
遇到更难的问题,而且问题越难,你就应该越开心。
266
And how you will get there is by always giving an answer and always developing your answer.
而你实现这一点的方法,就是始终给出答案,并且不断完善你的答案。
267
So how can we do that?
那我们该如何做到这一点呢?
268
The first and most important thing is always attempt an answer.
首要且最重要的一点永远是要试着给出答案。
269
But what if you have no idea?
但如果你完全不知道该怎么办呢?
270
What if it's about a topic you know nothing about?
如果是一个你完全不了解的话题怎么办?
271
You could do something like this.
你可以这样做。
272
I'm not too familiar with the topic of AI and its relation with education.
我对人工智能及其与教育的关系这个话题不是很熟悉。
273
However, in my knowledge, I do know that AI is developing more and more.
不过,据我所知,人工智能确实正在不断发展。
274
and it might be able to replace some teachers' jobs or tasks, but it will not replace the trait of empathy.
它或许能够取代部分教师的工作或任务,但永远无法取代共情这一特质。
275
Remember, it is not a knowledge test.
记住,这不是一场知识测试。
276
It is not a test of your knowledge of that topic.
这并不是在测试你对该主题的知识掌握程度。
277
It is a speaking test.
这是一场口语考试。
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,或者给出一个非常简短的答案,你就等于在告诉考官,你的英语不够好。
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.
但如果你试图用我们教你的方式来回答,那你就是在说我对那个主题的了解还不够深入。
280
And that indicates to the examiner that they need to switch topics
这会提示考官需要转换话题了。
281
in order for you to show how good your English actually is.
好让你展示一下你的英语水平到底有多好。
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,考官其实是希望你考得好的,但你必须向他们表明,这个话题对你来说确实不太擅长。
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.
但如果你什么都不说,那你实际上就是在说,我连回答任何话题的问题都不够格。
284
But even though it is this huge fear of students about what if I get a topic I know nothing about,
但即便学生们非常害怕抽到自己完全不了解的题目,
285
it is far more likely that you will get a topic you can speak about, that you do know a little bit about.
你更有可能抽到一个你能聊得上来、而且多少有所了解的话题。
286
So how can you show the examiner how great your English level is with a topic you know a little bit about?
那么,遇到一个你了解不多的话题时,要如何向考官展示你的英语水平有多出色呢?
287
Watch this clip and think about what the student does in terms of how they structure their answer.
观看这段视频片段,思考这名学生在组织回答时采用了怎样的结构。
288
What skills does a person need to be a great chef?
成为一名出色的厨师需要具备哪些技能?
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.
我觉得,我的意思是,根据我听到的说法,我以前从来没当过厨师,也没在厨房工作过,但我觉得这需要大量的反复试错。
291
So for that reason, I would imagine that the person would have to be very patient.
因此,出于这个原因,我想那个人必须非常有耐心。
292
And with that patience, you need to have an inherent passion for the food that you're making.
除了耐心,你还得对自己正在制作的食物怀有发自内心的热爱。
293
I think chefs usually specialize in one or more cuisines.
我觉得厨师通常会专精于一种或多种菜系。
294
so just having an understanding of the background of the spices
所以只要了解这些香料的背景知识就好
295
where it comes from of the meat where it comes from
这些肉的来源是什么。
296
if you're not passionate about that it can probably tire you out to be that
如果你对这件事没有热情,那么去做这件事很可能会让你感到疲惫。
297
invested in learning so patience passion
投入时间学习,需要的是耐心与热情。
298
and a good environment like access to good teachers access to
还有良好的环境,比如能接触到优秀的教师、能获得……
299
good books access to good produce would probably help you hone your craft a lot more
优质的书籍和获取优质食材的渠道,或许能极大地帮助你精进技艺。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
