雅思8.5分之经验谈

amorzUID: 1

自从11月考完雅思，就一直想写点东西的，但是一直被繁忙的教学工作占着我的时间。我是山东大学学术交流中心的雅思老师。在事先没有任何准备的情况下，我很荣幸在今年11月23日的济南雅思考试中考了8.5分，听力，阅读，写作，和口语分别是9，8.5，7，9，不过我觉得雅思考官故意不让我得满分，因为我的作文竟然只得了7分，但是绝对最少应该8分的啊，真是郁闷，可惜啊，本来以为能拿9分的，但是后来听考官朋友说，这已经是中国雅思考区的最高分了，^_^。不过听说，鬼子是故意不让人得9分的，不知道是否是真的。我写这篇文章的目的有两个。首先，我想消除一些大家关于雅思考试的误解。其次，作为一个教授雅思的老师，帮助学生得到一个反映他们真实水平的成绩也是我的愿望。

   我将重点放在口语部分，因为他们最大的困惑似乎是在于这里。好多人认为这是一种让你show英语口才的考试。这是不正确的。如果在考试中，你说“Hello",就已经足够凭此给你一个分数了。当然，这种考试是测试考生的英语应用能力的。这也意味着如果你想获得高分，交流是关键。仅仅记住一堆长句子是没用的。同样的，用一些深奥无比的术语，以此希望让考官敬畏你也是没有什麽用处的。我经常用下面这个例子来向我的学生阐明我的观点。想象你身在英国，你正在沿街走进一幢建筑物，想着自己的事情，突然有人大喊：“别进去，那里有炸弹”。如果你不明白，你有两个选择，第一，你可以说“What do you mean？”或者你可以继续走，向那个家伙挥挥手，滑稽的笑着说“Good morning and have a nice day”

诚实的说，雅思考试真的不难。考试的目的是测试你是否拥有在英语国家生存的基本语言能力。但实际中，学生们好像不得不隐藏他们的英语语言上的不足。所以，我想说，考官知道你不是native speaker,但是他们不会介意。他们想知道你是否有足够的英语能力应付你在现实中可能遇到的情况。并且同样重要的是，在这种情况下，你知道该怎样做。这对于获得一个好的分数是非常必要的。

最后，我祝愿所有要参加雅思考试的考生好运！！

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.

好像考高分的人，其实也没有什么可谈的。平时的锻炼是一种潜移默化的。

有实力就不怕 ～～我觉得英语成绩到某种成就的人 对于这种考试根本就是无所谓的

The word "Firstly" is a misuse. People should say First, Second(ly)....

下面那段英文是他自己翻译的吗？？
怎么随便一扫就发现了点滑稽的错误．．．

首先，我想消除一些大家关于雅思考试的误解。其次，作为一个教授雅思的老师，帮助学生得到一个反映他们真实水平的成绩也是我的愿望。

这是中文

英文翻译为：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.

错误１：　笔者是雅思教育者，怎么成了NATIVE SPEAKER了？　笔者在哪长大的？　其实即便作者是NATIVE　SPEAKER，　这句话也出现了错误，
AS a xxx and an xxxx　和　As a xxx and xxx, 是不同的．．．
前者指的是两个人，　后者指的是一个人有这双重身份．

只是无聊贴，不必激动．．．
