IELTS Speaking - interview tips
口語(yǔ)面試技巧

Speak until they stop you, don't just answer the question and stop. Behave as if it was a driving test –keep going straight until told to turn right, left or park.
除非考官叫你停下來(lái)，否則持續(xù)不停地說(shuō)。不要簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的回答完問(wèn)題后停下來(lái)。表現(xiàn)得這就像是在駕照的路考，除非考官叫你轉(zhuǎn)向或停車，否則一直向前開。

It is quite possible that you have to speak about something you have never heard of, or have no opinion of. If you don’t know the subject – tell the examiner immediately, so he could ask you another question. If you don’t tell him and start trying to speak, he might think that it is not a knowledge problem, but a language problem.
你極有可能得聊一些你從沒(méi)聽說(shuō)過(guò)或者沒(méi)有想法的話題。如果你不了解這個(gè)題目，立即告訴考官，他可能會(huì)問(wèn)你其他話題。如果你不知怎么說(shuō)又不告訴他，自己卻嘗試著去說(shuō)�？脊贂�(huì)認(rèn)為這不是知識(shí)問(wèn)題，而是語(yǔ)言能力問(wèn)題。

However, certain communication skills should be used at that circumstance.
總之，某種環(huán)境下應(yīng)該運(yùn)用某些交流技巧。


IELTS Writing tips
寫作技巧

It is better to write in regular, not very sophisticated English, than to use phrases or structures you don't fully understand. If you need Band 6 – no need for complex sentence structure. If your goal is Band 7 – then show advanced sentence structure, language and vocabulary.
最好用常規(guī)的，不復(fù)雜的英文寫作而不是用那些你自己都不完全懂的詞組或句型結(jié)構(gòu)。如果你需要的是6分，沒(méi)必要寫復(fù)雜句型。如果你需要的是7分，那么寫一些高級(jí)句型，語(yǔ)言和詞匯吧。

Don’t write more than 260-265 words in IELTS Writing 2 task. Why? Not because you will get lower mark, but because of these 2 reasons:
在寫作第二部分中，字?jǐn)?shù)不要超過(guò)260-265個(gè)字。為什么？不是因?yàn)槟銜?huì)得到更低的分?jǐn)?shù)，而是因?yàn)橐韵聝牲c(diǎn)原因：

• It takes more time      它花費(fèi)你更多的時(shí)間
• More words = more mistakes      越多的字?jǐn)?shù)-=越多的錯(cuò)誤

If you are told to cover specific points in your essay/letter – cover every point, examiners actually count them. Don’t overuse connecting words (like However, Furthermore, Moreover, etc) – examiners are watching for you to do that.
如果在你的作文中，被要求涉及某些點(diǎn)：把每個(gè)點(diǎn)都涉及到�？脊偻ǔ�會(huì)數(shù)的。不要過(guò)度使用連接詞（例如：However, Furthermore, Moreover，等等）。考官會(huì)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注這一點(diǎn)。
