雅思听力不知是多少烤鸭大厨们的老大难。在争分夺秒的屠鸭现场，每一段音频都是信息，每一段沉默也都是机会！
让对考试了如指掌的前雅思考官告诉你，如何利用雅思听力的间歇时间捞分数！



关于考官Nick

Nick在British Council 工作了10年，是前雅思高级考官，改过无数的雅思考卷，非常清楚考官判分要求。

他有超过二十年的教学经验，去过不同的亚洲国家教英文。他专门教授亚洲人的口语，特别清楚我们学英语的困难和弱点。他此前曾于全球著名的国际学校、顶级大学以及世界五百强的机构教授学生、CEO人数超过十万。他的很多雅思学生也在跟他学习了很短的时间内进步超过一分，有些更是拿了British Council的雅思奖学金出国。






关于The Worldpath

theworldpath.com 是香港政府重點支持的網上教學機構，由美國、英國、加拿大、澳洲的雅思前考官組成，在香港多間中學及大學舉辦雅思課程，學生成績優秀，曾經接受過香港多個媒體報導。推薦他們的學生除了有清華北大的，也有香港大學及香港中文大學，更有斯坦福大学、康奈尔大学和伯克利加大的。他們堅持只用接受過嚴格雅思改卷訓練的考官教口語跟寫作，因為他們很清楚考官喜歡怎樣的口語跟寫作，可以幫學生打做一個考官會給高分的exam，但是絕對不用模板。


Listening: Basic techniques.

The most important time in the listening test is not when the cd is playing but in the half-minute when it is silent before each group of questions. You will hear the narrator say for example, “You now have some time to look at questions 1 to five.”

Half a minute is not very long but there is a lot we can do in that time. The first trick is to quickly understand the context of the questions; what they are about. For example, the test often starts in section one with diagrams like this one taken from the textbook “New insight into IELTS.”



In the time when the video is silent you can first ask yourself Wh/How questions like the ones you see there. This will give you the context,  which will in turn help you understand the questions more quickly because you don’t have to think about the context of each one separately.

The answers are, of course: “In a hotel”, “The woman is a receptionist and the man is checking in.” Listen to the video now and see if that is right. Next week I will talk about techniques for answering the questions that ask for specific information.
