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。
Vocabulary is the fast-track to improving all your language skills! The more vocab you know, the more you can read, listen, speak and write.
The examiner will give you higher marks for using and understanding the more academic style of vocabulary. My experience with learning vocab in another language is this: don’t try to learn very long lists everyday, you will forget most of them. 6-8 words a day, but really learn how to use them in sentences is best. Imagine the improvement in your vocabulary and ability to speak English after doing this for a few months!
