雅思7分经验屡试不爽:知道考官最喜欢什么(共5篇)由网友“老子是天鹅”投稿提供,下面是小编整理过的雅思7分经验屡试不爽:知道考官最喜欢什么,欢迎您阅读分享借鉴,希望对您有所帮助。
篇1:雅思7分经验屡试不爽:知道考官最喜欢什么
在国外考了多次雅思7分在外考了4次雅思经验,两次7分。
1.听力
a.一定要多听模拟真题,不要浪费无畏的时间在其他练习上,
b.做时一次选定答案不要犹豫,雅思考试的听力很少会故意为难人的。
练习时含糊的的答案不要计算为对,
c.练习后要看懂每一个句子认真对照答案,有时你觉得听懂了,其实并不是这样。
d.听力还是要大量练习,高分不可依赖机经,自欺欺人。
2.阅读
a.在词汇量有限的情况下,抓关键词,比如t/f/ng 中的“动词”,就算整句不明白,有一个动词能和答案对得上就选他!
b.还有注意祈使句,一般祈使句是肯定答案,有一个词不一样的就是f or ng (e.g. frog is living in the water, 答案中如果说frog is living in the river 那就是ng)。
c.有极端答案出现直接选false,(any, all, only...)
d.考试中对照题要先做!最直接简单!填空其次,和文章联系很紧,不会很难. 原则是不要通读文章,技巧就是对照,找词.
3.写作
a.连词超级重要,一定要背好多连词,熟练运用,这对第一部分很有帮助
b.在写一个观点时,一定要先定义,也就是先阐述自己的观点,再写内容。比如
education is important, bucause with high level of education peple will be able to find a good job....
这句话就是废话!在这之前一定要说明为什么,比如
education is providing people knowledge. with sufficient knowledge people will be considered as well-educated, hance will be able to get a good job.....
先定义,再写作,上来就写一堆原因是没好处的,考官都看糊涂了!
c.要举例子,老外是很喜欢有思想的写作的,思想来源于生活中的例子
雅思写作不仅考察语法,也要考察作者的清晰思路和社会常识,举例子是很重要的哦!词汇不要太花哨,没有帮助。
4.口语
首先要多练习,头几个部分都一样!就是自己的情况这个要准备好,
在答2分钟口语时,“举例”是最大的秘密!考官就是喜欢例子,屡试不爽!两次7分,最近考8分。比如他问你认为语言为什么重要,就举最简单的例子:problem in speaking leads many problem, such as, shopping or working, when u wanna find something specific, people just don‘t know what u r talking about, it will be very stressful.
很简单的原因和词汇,高分就到手了。
雅思考试很多技巧的,但练习最重要,真是实力第一,考试第二,好运!
篇2:雅思7分经验
【雅思高分经验】从四六级到雅思7分 终成正果
我的故事:
想说的是,不管什么时候,做什么事情,别人再怎么对你没信心,自己都不能失去信心。另外,我觉得,考试考的是能力,也是技巧,但是我们绝对不能把精力放在所谓的技巧上面,而不注重提高自己的英语能力。
昨天拿到复议之后寄回来的成绩单,看见自己的写作从来6变成了6.5,终于拿到了自己想要的分数。突然想起,曾经自己在太傻上面开贴发誓,说一定要回来写经验帖,fine,我做到了。
先说一下自己的背景情况,只能说是很普通,四级大二裸考557 ,六级第一次裸考450,第二次裸考了539。断断续续复习了几个个月之后,果断报了5.8的上海财大,生日又是主场作战,但是两周后的成绩还是很纠结,LRWS 8.5 7.5 6 6 总分虽然有7,可是写作却只有6分,于是,果断复议,再于是,结果大家都知道了。
首先说说复习时用到的材料,剑桥系列,十天口语,十天写作,凉月写作,卢峭梅的听力JJ,王陆的807听力,雅思9分写作,阅读真经系列,黑眼睛,各种单词书。其实,后来整理书的时候,才发现自己原来买了那么多书,浪费了那么多钱,书真的在精不在多,很多书我也都只是看了一遍就仍在一旁,至于个人推荐什么不推荐什么,下面会详细说明。
雅思听力:
这次听力既满意也遗憾,8.5分虽然已经很高,但是若不是走神一个空,再题目看错一个,这次应该可以有满分。Anyway 先说说这部分的经验
关于用书:毫无疑问,习题部分只要参考剑桥系列就可以了,有的同学做完3-7就在喊没有题目做了,于是翻出黑眼睛或者某某听力书来说,不是说这样不好,有学习的欲望总该鼓励,但是首先大家都忘了剑桥还有1和2,其实这两本再没参考价值,我觉得都是要优于其他参考书籍的,因为,它们毕竟是剑桥出的。其次,做完了的书可以做第二遍,有的人会说,这样就没有参考价值了,我认为不对,只要你还没有做到全对,做到9分,那么它们就仍然有参考价值,哪怕你已经背下其中一两个答案,哪怕那些原来你不会的单词现在已经会拼写。
关于JJ:听力一定要用机经,一定要用,但是千万不能只靠机经。这里王陆的807和卢巧梅的JJ都是好书,但是我更推荐卢巧梅的,为什么,因为她把市面上流通的每一个version都收集了起来,分别罗列了出来,考前可以根据3G给出的预测着重背一下单词,比如我这次考试,两新两旧,两个旧的3G都有预测到,也许有人喜欢不花钱用3G的JJ,个人比较不推荐,因为3G的JJ错的实在是太多了,而且个人也很不喜欢看电子版的书。但是,however,千万不能只靠JJ而不注重自己的能力,JJ只是为了保证自己在听到单词的情况下,可以正确写出它而得分的一个工具。
关于怎样练习:这方面的话,有人喜欢听关键词,我觉得很可笑,因为大家如果只注意关键词的话,根本就会完全忽略到其他的内容,这样根本就得不偿失。我认为听力没有太多的技巧太多的捷径,只需要你听 需要动手,需要你花时间。首先我认为,听力也是需要单词量的,也许只是四级词汇,但是不能让词汇成为我们听不懂他们语速并不快的对话的借口。其次,大家应该把更多的精力放在剑桥系列上面,题目可以反复做,对话也可以反复听。其实一开始的时候,自己的听力也只是在30个左右徘徊,做完了剑4之后,果断不浪费题目而开始背单词,一方面为了阅读,一方面也是为了听力。同时,我没有像很多人一样选择听中听,而是到putclub上面下载当天的cnn听,为什么呢,因为它有图像,我喜欢看到有图像的东西,哈哈,每天个三四遍,反复听反复听,然后再看人家提供的script,然后再听再看,如此,直到可以听懂为止,这个过程每天都要花上半个小时左右,虽然新闻只有一分钟多。顺便说下,有人认为考雅思要听bbc或者类似的英音材料,先不说我觉得英音较之美音有多么的难懂,事实上雅思考试有相当部分的材料是用美音,没记错的话,其实第四部分很大部分都是用美音在读。如此以往,坚持了一个月之后,再开始做听力,发现就没有以前那么难懂了,也已经可以稳定在34个的水平了,想说的是,如果大家有碰到瓶颈了,千万不要急,也不要浪费题目了,可以试着从另外的一个方法从本质上的提高自己的听力水平,雅思就是一个投入和产出的过程,千万不能放弃。
关于考试当天:听力不同于其他几个部分,是最不容许走神的一个。虽然要有个几十分钟,但是千万千万要集中注意力,很多人往往会漏听,就是注意力不集中造成的,比如在想,今天吃什么,那个女生好PP之类的。这种想法绝对不能再考试时出现,比如我在考试当天,每个部分间隙的时候,就用笔狠狠的戳自己的手臂,虽然还是走神了一个空,虽然手臂通红,但是毕竟还是拿到了自己想要的分数。
雅思阅读:
阅读考不好的原因有很多,无非是单词,语法或者是技巧。首先我不认为会有多少中国考生搞不定区区雅思阅读的语法(当然初高中生除外),甚至很多时候,你只要认识了单词,哪怕句子你不是很理解,也可以猜个八九不离十。另外就是技巧了,个人一直认为,阅读可能是四部分里面最有规律最有技巧的一个部分,也可能是唯一的。所谓技巧,也就是平行阅读法,很多前辈的帖子里面都已经说的很清楚了,关键就是定位然后对比分析,这里就不赘述了。主要说说对单词的理解,很多人认为雅思考试不用背单词,这话既对也错,说它对时因为,对于基础好的考生来说,的确不用背单词了,因为雅思阅读考的本来就不是词汇量,但是对于绝大部分的中国考生来说,还是乖乖的拿起一本单词书,用心的都把它给背下来。比如我来说,进大学之后,就没有好好学过英语,在考试之前,用了大概三周的时间,每天雨打不动三个小时,按照《十七搞定GRE单词》(是这个名么?)上面的方法,一步一步背下来,坚持下来之后,你会发现,原来一篇看不大懂很多生词的阅读文章,在排除时间因素的情况下,现在可以基本看懂了。至于单词书的选择,可以是六级单词,也可以是某某雅思词汇,只要能够坚持背下来就可以。但是这里比较不推荐新东方的 词以类聚 ,不是说这本书不好,相反,我认为这种词汇的编排方法不仅新颖而且可能是最科学的,但是,这本书的词汇太多了,很多词汇即使在考试里面出现了,也不需要你知道他的意思。当然,如果你时间多,能够背下来再好不过了。一旦单词搞定了,才是开始做题的时间,因为题目有限,难道有人想把一套一套题目浪费在单词都没有认清楚之前么。这次考了7.5,是正常发挥而已,不过很可惜的是,那场考试的前两篇阅读是相当的简单,不到半个小时我就做完了,但是第三篇做的相当纠结,甚至到交卷的时候,都还没有理解文章在讲什么,只能蒙了两个就交了上去,sigh…至于阅读用到的材料,其实剑桥系列就够了。做完之后一定要好好分析,是什么原因导致了自己没有做对,定位or看不懂,这些分析工作别人都是不能够代替你的,也是你看经验贴所看不到的,只能靠自己慢慢积累。
雅思写作:
这部分本来不想讲太多,考试小作文偏题并且时态全错,而且也只是靠复议才到了6.5,但是偏偏自己最想说的就是写作。首先我认为,很大一部分的考生都把雅思写作的本质给搞错了。雅思写作不是秀词汇,不是秀句型,而很多中国考生,都喜欢参考十天写作的东西,而背它的单词背它的句型用到写作中去,不是说十天的句型和单词不好,只是我发现大家这么做有两个弊端,首先当十天在考生中几乎是人手一本的时候,考官也许会发现,他每天批改到的作文的用词或者句型都几乎是千篇 一律的,因此你能得到的分数也可想而知。其次,更重要的一点,就是实际上很多中国的考生的实际水平跟所用的词汇和句型严重不符,就是说,很多人会用着华丽的词汇而犯着低级的语法错误,看看太傻上面求批的帖子吧,有相当一部分都是用词相近但是全文也许只有作者才能很好理解的文章。大家应该更多的看看小姨同学是怎么argue 怎么写议论文,怎么想素材的,而不是只背单词然后机械的套上去,况且小姨自己都强调,满分作文的用词都是很基础这一事实。以上是在一位大一雅思裸考写作7.5 GRE最近1400的牛人的言传身教并且修改作文之后感悟出来的,写作并不需要词汇多么华丽,只要你意思表达的恰到好处没有歧义就可,用某个精品文章的标题来说,just keep it short and simple。
再者,而且是更重要的一点,大家想思路的时候都局限了。雅思作文是argumentation,但是大家似乎只记住了它的中文名,就是议论文,于是按照写中文议论文的思路去写,但是没有argue的文章不是好的argumentation。详细的说,大家在写中间段落的时候,都喜欢写立论,比如题目问A好还是B好,于是大家都说A好,于是第二段写A好的原因a1,然后支持的论据,然后第三段写A好的理由a2,然后再支持的论据。若两遍倒的话,大家一段A好,理由a1 a2 一段B好 理由b1 b2。以上,都是理论,而没有驳论。驳论就是要反驳对方的观点,详细说来比如支持A好的话,第一段A好的理由a1,然后支持论据,但是到了第二段,就应该说 有人认为B好 他们认为B好的原因有b1 b2等等,但是我不这么认为,于是反驳b1 b2 等他们认为好的理由。当然文章的最后 可以放上一个让步段 让文章看起来没有那么绝对 也可以凑下字数。以上是在上海新航道上了一个写作专项班之后的收获,和大家分享下。另外 我也传了篇自己写的 并且让老师简单修改过的文章,而其中的第二段,就是用的驳论的概念,详细的大家可以百度下,或者亲自去上下这个单项班也可以。
要注意的是:
如果题干问agree or disagree,可以一边倒,也可以两边倒,可以用驳论
如果问是否advantages outweigh disadvantages,你必须即写好处,也写坏处,当然结论可以一边倒,没把握的话不要写驳论。
如果问原因,建议;写原因和建议,一定要解释你的建议为什么能解决问题。
另外推荐点书,十天当然是本好书,但是估计考官都人手一本了,所以我也没有太多的看十天,更多的是在看一本 9分写作 ,个人觉得这本书非常好,范文很多,而且用词不会像小姨那样高级而导致看不懂文章,而且思路相对于其他外国人写的书更容易follow,另外作者有把不用分数的段的用词都列出来,不是意在让我秀词汇,而是在于让我们避免用白痴词汇。我有在另外一个帖子里面放出下载地址,有兴趣的童鞋可以下载来看下。
其实上课的同时 我也有录音,但是一方面自己没有录全并且音质也不好,另一方面,也不想坏了人家的生意,因为我真的是粉喜欢这个老师,所以就不上传录音了。
雅思口语:
诶,这个只有失败的经验没有成功的经验了,我真的是很郁闷,因为我自信如果拿到一篇文章,可以比坛子上95%的同学都读得要好,但是偏偏考试的时候太紧张了,而且太自信,以至于都没有怎么准备第一部分和第三部分,就在第二部分想了个万能的素材就上了,考试的时候很想要读的快点,但是偏偏紧张又词穷,背问到的问题我用中文都不知道怎么回答,于是断断续续,于是就肯定悲剧了。所以,奉劝大家一句,你不一定要很连贯,语速很快,但是请把句子说完整了,语法不要弄错了,尤其是she和he,另外最好把几部分都给准备了,做到考试前倒背如流,考场上背的很真实,这样肯定分数就不会低。这里,我给大家提供个万能的素材,本来还想留着下次考试再用,但是现在也没有再考雅思的必要了,就跟大家分享下。
我不知道大家有没有看过功夫熊猫,里面那个大师在训练熊猫的时候讲过这么一句话:Yesterday is a history Tomorrow is a mystery , but today is a gift , that’s why we call it present .是的 就是这句话,万能素材。
比如你抽到电影题,ok说功夫熊猫,它让我印象深刻,因为有这么一句话,它发人深省。
比如抽到一个买了但是不常用的东西,我就说一个数码相机,因为它的slogan是这个,很有爱的标语,抓住现在所以要拍照,所以我买了,但是平时忙啊,用不到。
{比如抽到了一个不喜欢的电视节目,我就说我看到一个电视节目,老是说中文怎么怎么伟大,英文怎么怎么不行,不应该学英文,我反对,因为英文也很美,然后放出这句话,说英文也有内涵,顺便还可以拍拍老外的马屁)
比如抽到一个图书馆,我就说某某图书馆,我为什么说它呢,因为我喜欢它墙上的字,就是这个啦,它让我抓紧时间好好学习啦,blabla。
再比如抽到一个对我影响深远的人,我就说我高中的老师啦,说我本来怎么怎么颓废,但是他找我谈话,他跟我说了这个,然后我开始发愤图强啦,blabla。
恩恩,大概就是这样,大家自己发挥哦。
你的雅思作文句子有效吗?英文简洁之美

解析犯罪与法律类雅思写作话题
1. 青少年犯罪
母题:In many parts of the world children and teenagers are committing more crimes. Why is this case happening? How should children or teenagers be punished? (100804)
提示:青少年犯罪juvenile delinquency 产生的原因及其解决方法。可从家庭、社会、媒体三个角度分析。
子题:很多年轻人有一种反社会行为,原因是什么,如何解决?犯罪是人类本性,还是可以预防的?
2. 犯罪预防
母题:Unlike in most other countries, police in the UK do not commonly carry guns. Some people think it leaves citizens unprotected. But others think it reduces the overall violence in our society. Discuss both sides of the view and give your opinion. (040320, 040619)
提示:这道题目当之无愧地成为母题,因为这道话题自从9月起已经成为了雅思口语话题中的题目。8月20日,这道题目以变题的形式再一次出现在雅思写作中。
子题:是否应该严惩违反交规者?城市中采取预防犯罪的措施,利大于弊吗?个人如果为所欲为,社会就无法运转,你同意吗?犯罪是世界问题,无法预防,你同意吗?
3. 罪犯惩处
母题:Sending criminals to prison is not the best method of dealing with them. Education and job training are better ways to help them. Do you agree or disagree? (050618, 080918)
提示:其实囚禁imprisonment和再教育都是一种让囚犯改造rehabilitate的方法。还有community service对于轻犯和初犯都是一种不错的惩处方式。
子题:监狱除了惩罚犯罪,还有什么功能?降低犯罪的最佳方法是延长监狱星期吗?刑满释放人员再犯罪率很高,为什么,如何解决?你认为罪犯应该送到监狱还是应该做一些社区工作或学习一些技能?
后高考留学时代之雅思写作的备考策略
最近几年,高中生出国留学的热潮愈演愈烈。当然我不想否认在国内上大学的好处,但是就个人视野,思维方式的多元以及适应能力创新能力等方面,留学生还是具有相对的优势。对于谋划留学的高中生们,高考不是终点,而雅思考试却是起点。如何准备雅思考试,具体地说,雅思写作考试,是这篇文章的主题。
作为新东方的VIP雅思写作老师,我的学生主要是高中生和大学生。在雅思写作的备考过程中,高中生具有自己的优劣势。一方面,他们的英语还‘热乎’ 着,不像大三大四的学生,英语已经‘凉’了几年了。而且,他们还处于高考备战的状态,能适应高强度的学习,而大学生早已经习惯了晚上不睡,早上不起的生活状态。但是另一方面,高中生由于多年来一心只读圣贤书,对社会问题缺少关注和思考,因此对雅思写作的题目比较茫然。针对这些特点,以及高中生普遍遭遇的如下问题,提出最有针对性的备考策略:
1 老师我基础弱,写作该从哪儿开始学起呢?
2 我的目标是6分,需要多长时间才能达到呢?
3 老师,市场上有很多雅思写作的书,我应该参考哪一本?
4 我该报哪个培训班?基础还是强化?
4 我什么时候安排考试比较合适?考几次?
如果是学霸(高考英语130/150以上,平时成绩保持90/100以上),自学当然没问题。买一套剑桥系列真题,看看考官范文和评分标准,然后在网上搜索一下往年的机经(真题),挑几篇练练手,就可以奔赴沙场了。正常发挥的话,6分稳拿。这个分数完全可以征服大部分的国外大学。但是学霸是极品,这篇文章主要针对没有任何雅思学习经验的普通同学。
基础备考
大多数同学还是需要老师的帮助,以便提高效率,节约时间,因此首先需要报一个辅导班。雅思培训通常分基础/强化两种。高考英语90/150分以下,高中英语成绩保持在60/100分左右的同学,建议先报基础班。辅导班最好在毕业后的暑假就开始。第一个原因是趁热打铁;第二,寒暑假的辅导班都是密集学习模式,即每天全日制上课,连续上10天以上。如果错过,就只能等平时的周末班或者网络课程了。
暑假的密集基础课程结束后在家里温习一段时间,做完老师布置的作业,打扎实基础。注意这个时候不要参加考试,因为基础课程主要不是针对考试,而是针对语言。等基础夯实之后,9月份再报一个强化班。这个班主要训练考试技能,针对性比较强。强化班结课后也要消化一段时间。最后用剑桥的真题做模拟考试,当结果和预期的分数相差不大的时候,就可以报名考试了。这个阶段使用的教材我推荐《Get Ready For IELTS》。这本书是针对基础较弱的同学设计的雅思教材,其中写作部分在训练写作技能的同时也设计了语言语法训练,练习比较多,适合基础弱,时间紧的学生。
篇3:雅思7分备考经验
【雅思高分经验】屡败屡战天不负 六战四级低分到雅思7分
首先表达一个我整体的感受:就是雅思考试是对个人英语水平的一项比较客观的测试工具,没有多少运气可以碰,至少对于我这个跌倒了6次的战神来说是这样的。
第一个要拿下的高地就是词汇,以前考四级的时候,词汇量最多在4k的样子,还不怎么熟练,所以刚好压线过,而雅思要求至少在8k,这不是一件容易的事情,我周围的人大部分用红宝,我也背了2个月左右的红宝,坚持不下去,后面换成了手机app背单词软件,比较适合我这种想走捷径的懒神。
听力考试的准备。
从个人而言,从第一次接触到雅思听力材料以及第一次参加雅思听力考试以来,感觉听力应该是雅思考试四个项目中最为简单的一项。
首先是雅思听力的语速很慢,并且发音清晰并且纯正(当然不排除剑桥系列里面个别出现印度口音的section)。
所以,这也就决定了在雅思听力考试中最重要的原则,不能靠机经,一定一定要听懂(注意这里的听懂不是每个词儿都听到并明白,而是泛泛的听懂其中的大意以及细节意思);考试的时候不能靠猜测,听到什么就是什么。如果听不到再猜测。
其次,雅思听力还有一大特点就是按照顺序!所以在做题过程中节奏很重要!记得我的听力老师王超伟老师做过统计,平均几秒钟就会出现一个答案,所以你懂得~
最后,雅思听力还有一个小BUG就是如果你分不清大小写,那就把答案全部用大写字母写出来,这样肯定不会犯大小写转换的拼写错误!
我的备考方法:首先背熟王陆807(注意是背熟!)这些词儿都是作为一个英语学习者和使用者每天必然会遇到的单词,你现在不背,以后每天都会用到!
其次是要每天坚持不懈的进行听写或者听读训练(听写只是练听力,相对较为简单。听读也会练到口语,相对练习难度较大,建议后期再来)。
相信大家都看过一文,一个同传的学长从零基础每天听写BBC和voa并且听到了两倍速最终实现了达到同传高水准的过程。
这不是神话,如果你每天也这么坚持并且 不断扩充自己的词汇量的话,你也可以做到。
最后,就是在考前及时的用剑桥系列多做测试并且在测试过后进行纠错过程。针对其中出现的拼写错误进行纠正,同时把听错的题目细节多听几次,时间允许的话就听写一下。
还有一种更变态的方法就是如果你很清楚的听到这个词儿并且写错了,那就把这个部分用超慢速回放并进行模仿,尽量体会舌头和口腔的变化以及单词之 间的衔接发音。以后保证你不会犯同样的错了。
能够做到以上三点,坚持一个月以上,把握好节奏,7分松松的。
雅思阅读的准备。
阅读一直都是我的软肋,我的经历是考过好多次,一直6.5分,不高也不低。这里我想分享一下这个部分的经历以及我的应对方法。
做阅读是大家一般都会遇到两种方法,一种是先看题再阅读。另一种是先看文章再做题。两方面的神人我都见过。实践证明这两种方法的熟练使用者都能考到9分。但是我想说的是你需要找到最适合你的方法。
先说第一种方法,先看题再阅读文章。这种方法有很多很好听的名字,大概就类似于“平行阅读法”之类的。就是需要在阅读之前先把各个答题的第一个题目看一下并记忆,带着题目去阅读文章。
这种方法主要来源于雅思阅读的一大特点,就是大多数的问题都会根据文章的顺序进行设置(不信的请自觉找份剑桥系列真题做并标 出题目位置)。
当然,由于每个大题之间是很有可能交叉的,所以要阅读三个大题或者四个大题的第一个题目并记忆。进而找到这些题目的答案后就按照顺序做下去就好了。
一般一遍文章读下来,80%的题目都会得到解决。其余的题目根据顺序原则找到上下两道题目的位置,在中间段落进行查找。
第二种方法是先看文章再做题。这种方法在最初是要求浏览文章的大意以及每个段落的大意。
在这个过程中最好找到文章的脉络~这个方法的关键在于脉络。一般雅思阅读文章的来源都是科普类、经济类等的研究型杂志。为的是模拟在国外大学学习中的阅读场景。所以,聪明的同学应该会找出这些文章会有一些相似之处。基本可以分为几大类:
实验类:一般会有简介、提出问题、实验设计、实验进行、实验结果、针对结果的讨论以及针对未来发展趋势的畅想几个部分。
解决问题类:一般会有问题引出、提出问题、问题分析、解决问题的方法、解决效果以及针对解决问题过程的讨论几个部分。
新概念介绍类:即介绍一种新的概念背景、概念的内容、分成几个部分或者从几个方面将概念进行分解解释、概念未来的发展畅想等几个部分。
为什幺要说这些呢?因为如果你看到题目问道某一问题的未来趋势,直接去最后一段去找就好了。
如果你看到题问的是某个概念的背景问题,答案一定在前面几段没错。如果你看到题目让你判断某实验的过程怎么分配,你大可直接找到相应段落去寻找。
这个方法的关键在于搞清楚文章大意以及每个段落的意思。不用阅读全部文章内容。最终依靠准确的定位找到答案。这种方法运用到极致的话做题飞快。
基本做出一道题的时间在12分钟左右。而且针对matching和list of heading这两种大难题具有奇效!
最后说一下我的问题,我一直考6.5分的原因在于自己的做题方法很混乱往往是乱找一通,并且再段落包含句子这一类提醒和matching这一类提醒上面错误率很高。
最终我的解决方案是,拿到文章看题型,如果里面包含了list of heading 和matching题目,直接用第二种方法。如果全部都是需要定位查找答案有顺序的题目,果断用平行阅读法。这样的话就会最大限度的保持做题的稳定性。发挥两种方法的优势。
口语的准备
我个人口语一直属于半裸考状态,而且基本上一直都是6分水平。没有发言权。
但是在考前一周内把所有人人主页预测的topic都说一遍我觉得会很有帮助。虽然我都是考前都没有练习完过每次...只要你练完了,并且在考试过程中表现的相当自信,那么你肯定有6分。
PS:口语也会出现BUG,因为每次考官的偏好也是很重要的,如果是美女一定要利用这一优势,毕竟是面试,考官也是人啊~~
你们懂得~但是碰见比较变态的考官也不要发憷,心理即使断定要再来一次了,也要安然的把这个1750大洋的口语练习做好!
一气呵成,也没有过多的斟酌,这就是我最真实的想法。对于我们这种基础差的烤鸭的痛苦又有谁能懂呢。
期间也想过放弃,想过选择一个差一些的学校去读语言。 但是自己又很难说服自己,如果连语言关自己都过不了,将来当真留学到一个陌生的国家,如何能够克服很现实很困难的问题呢?
所以,鉴定信念坚持不懈是必须的!
最后的最后,引用朋友的一句很睿智的话:一定要相信,最后的结果一定是好的。
这就是一个出离愤怒坚持不懈最终成功涂鸦的英语菜鸟为大家带来的屠鸭感言,祝早日与雅思say goodbye.

雅思写作解题思路之要做好公民好工人还是好个人
Some people think that the main purpose of schools is to turn students into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
支持正方
Teachers should give practical lessons about working skills and professional techniques to students who will benefit from it in job-?‐seeking.
teachers orient students on how to love and share, how to distinguish between right and
wrong, and how to keep themselves together under pressure, which plays an essential role in students’ personality development. 教书还是育人; 需不需要让孩子遵守家长和学 校制定的 规则
支持反方
if students aimed only at becoming good workers, they would lose the motivation of innovation, and the society simply would not progress and keep running in its old way, with no one being willing to explore individual expertise. 需不需要让孩子遵守家长和学校
制定的规 则(太死的规则是造成丧失独立性,独立思考能力)
morality (道德) is a complex matter, and human nature (人性) even more perplexing. There are no one-?‐fit-?‐for-?‐all principles, e.g. a lie can hurt as well as protect people. The true understanding of what it is like to be a good citizen cannot be taught.

篇4:雅思7分经验火热
【高中生考雅思】屠鸭并不难 雅思7分经验火热分享
首先是听力和阅读。
从某种角度来讲,听力和阅读其实是一样的,换句话讲,听力是看不见的阅读。因此,做听力的很多方法都和阅读相同。
第一个要掌握的是寻找关键词。我们先拿到的是题目,所以只能从题目出发找答案。正式考试时,一般没有预先看题目的时间,只能听一题做一题。这个时候最好的方法是快速找到有用的词组或是单词,平时的话做惯真题了就不会觉得手忙脚乱了。剑桥的六本真题和正式考试的难度差不多,而且有针对性,对于高中生来讲是可以适应的。现在学校里做的听力其实已经有一定难度了,只是长度和涉及的单词不一样。所以只要多做真题,多听,就能有很大提高。
阅读的话,一般是不可能通篇看不懂的,但水平有限,全篇通读也不可能。所以还是需要抓重点。有时候整篇文章很多单词都很生僻,句型也十分复杂,根本不知道在讲什么,这种情况便只能依靠平时做题做出来的感觉了,因为雅思阅读不像高考阅读,需要理解后答题,所以就算没看懂也是能做的。把题目中有特点的单词或词组划出来,再到原文中找相同或意思相近的内容便能解答了。对于List of heading这样的题目,只能通过练习来掌握技巧。问题在于,三篇阅读所给的时间只有一小时,因此需要多练才能提高速度。
还有一点是,最好不要使用蒙答案的方法,因为这个时候已经是没把握了,若是再花时间去想如何蒙,反而会加重后面做题的负担。所以对于所谓的正态分布这样的技巧个人并不是很赞成。还是真正提高自己的实力比较好。
接下来要说的是写作。
这是相当难提高的一项。因为平日在学校练习英语作文的时候不多,考试时考的其实只能算翻译句子,真正的英语作文是怎样的我不是太清楚。准备雅思的时候,在这一项并没有投入太多的时间。但虽说如此,考前还是写了几篇练笔。
大作文主要看的是对句型和单词的运用,除了多背经典句型和单词外,这是没办法在短期内上一个台阶的;考试的时候唯一能尽力的地方就是注意多用通顺的从句和别拼错单词。
而小作文就不一样了,由于多是图表题,所以很多句子都是可以套用和随意组合的。在写作参考书上又很详细的举例说明,把那些句型和整篇文章的写作套路看会,基本上就能自己轻松的写出来了。我并没有很长的时间准备,所以只着重抓了小作文。能提供的经验也只有这么多了。
最后要说的是口语。
口语是我最差的一项。先不去管语音、语调以及对语言的组织能力,光是开口这一关就已经是相当麻烦的了,往往心里想好的句子在面对考官时就会说不出来,有时还会紧张到忘掉准备好的内容。我觉得首先要锻炼的就是自己的胆量。在考雅思之前最好能有和Native speaker交谈的经历,这样有助于消除紧张感。
当然,最重要的还是材料的准备。口语的题型网上有很多,关于人物、景观、事件几大类的都有。我每一类准备了两个左右的模板。尤其在家乡和职业上做了相对来说更加细致的准备,因为这两个话题可以套很多其他的题目,适用范围较广。个人觉得网上的预测还是有一定价值的,考前的两天可以看一下。
另外,就自己的经验来讲,最容易乱章法的是第三部分,也就是互动环节。因为这里要看每个人的临场发挥能力,所以关键还是不能慌。有时考官的问题真的很难入手,我们只能多用连接性的话过渡一下,但是千万不能停下来。只要你讲话,考官就会觉得至少你不是不肯讲,就算讲错也多少会留情的。
雅思口语part2高分话题范文:犯过的错误
Describe a mistake you once made.
You should say:
what it was
how you made this mistake
when it was
and explain how it affected you.
雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:
The biggest mistake in my life was falling in love with the wrong girl who had a completely different view of life, love and relationship. I was hardly 17 years old when I fall hard for this girl.
Initially, we were classmates and then became friends. In a year I started to feel something about her that was quite extraordinary and hard to explain. I guess people call this 'love'. My whole world started to shift and I was surrounded by a mirage for this whole time. Not a single moment had passed when I didn't think about her. She was the centre and power source of my universe. When I proposed her, she expressed her boundless joys and acted as if I should have proposed her earlier. So far, this is a sweet and innocent love story of a teenager and I was happy to have her in my life.
However, it took me only a few months to realise that she was not serious about our relationship. When she was my whole world, I was her just another temporary boyfriend. The relationship ended in ten months and I was so broken-hearted that I could not concentrate on anything for a while. My parents also knew about it and they were very supportive of me. First few days, it was quite difficult for me to get back to my normal life, study or go outside. I simply could not appease my mind that I made a great mistake and it was like an illusion that I need to come out from soon. However, when I started realising that I made a big mistake by approaching a serious relationship without even knowing the girl genuinely, I started making peace with my mind. I was completely honest with myself and that eventually helped me to get out of the depressive time I went through at that time.
The lesson learned from this mistake made me more cautious about making any kind of relationship and I am happy that I took this mistake as an event to learn a lesson. However, I often feel bad that how someone could be so naive to play with someone's sentiment so cheaply.
雅思口语part2高分话题范文:有趣的传统习俗
Describe an interesting tradition in your country
You should say:
what it is
where it came from
when it occurs
and say why you think it is interesting.
雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:
Well, China has a long and rich history, you know, so we have countless traditions, but today I’d like to talk about what usually happens during the Spring Festival, which is the most important celebration for Chinese people.
On Chinese New Year’s Eve, all the family members would come back home for the family reunion dinner, no matter where they are and how far away they are from home. And it’s not an ordinary meal, I mean, every dish has its special meaning. For example, we must eat fish that day, because in Chinese, fish is pronounced as YU which sounds like “surplus”, so you see, that’s a good wish for the coming new year, meaning that the family would make more than enough money.
And I’m sure you know the tradition that everyone has to eat dumplings on New Year’s Eve. The interesting part is, when we make the dumplings, we would mix some coins or peanuts into the fillings, and the one who get the specially made dumpling would have good luck throughout the whole year. I know it sounds a little superstitious, but it’s a time-honored tradition.
And there’s another activity we have to do during dinner, which is like a ritual, that is, to watch the Spring Festival Gala broadcast by China Central Television. It’s an annul variety show, and it’s the most watched TV show all around the world, you know, because of the large population in China.
Anyway, I think it is the tradition that helps people get in festive mood during Chinese New Year, so I believe it’s worth passing on the next generation.

Describe an interesting place in public
You should say:
what it is
how you can go there
what people do there
and explain why you think it is an interesting place.
雅思口语part2高分话题范文参考:
For my job I currently live in the capital city of our country which is ... (say the name of the capital city in your country...). It has been more than 5 years since I left my hometown and yet this is the town where my heart belongs to. I will always remember the days and places where I spent my childhood and teenage, the golden years of my life. The name of my hometown is (...say the name of your hometown...) and it is located in the northern part of the (... say the city/ district name where this town belongs to...). This town will always be special to me, no matter where I go, how far I go. There are many interesting places if I consider from different perspectives in my hometown that I can recall now. Out of these places, the rail station, which is located at the southern corner of our city is the one I would like to talk about.
In my childhood, the rail station in my hometown was the most mysterious and interesting place for us. We, as children, were not allowed to enter the main premises where the train stopped and this prohibition made us more curious about this place. This is still a place which is quite interesting for me. This is possibly because this rail station is the entry and exit point for me- to and from my hometown. When the train drops me in this station, I feel a sensation of being home. On the contrary, during the time of my departure, I feel an acute melancholy that I won't be able to express in words. This place has always been a mystery to me and it is still a place full of happiness, sadness and enigma.
From two other perspectives, this place is quite interesting to me. One- the surrounding view of this station is quite spectacular and would give someone an impression that he is standing on a tall mountain and can see the green fields below all around him. The view gives the first impression of the natural beauty this area has. In fact, I have never seen any other train station which is located in such a higher place and gives such a beautiful view. Second- the different types of people who come here each day is an interesting thing to observe. Some people come here to sell numerous products, some wait for their relatives or family members to arrive, some to see off their relatives or friends, and finally, some are part of the administrative office of the rail authority. In my opinion, this is an interesting hub for people of different ages, places and purposes.
If I am to suggest a foreign tourist about the interesting places of my hometown, I would suggest him to start with this rail station. This rail station will give a very good idea of our town, people and places to be there. To me, this is the gateway to a beautiful town where my heart belongs to.
篇5:雅思阅读7分经验
雅思阅读7分 你需要知道这些
随着出国留学的日益盛行,更多考生将关注的目光投注在历史更加悠久,环境和质量更加过硬的名校上。那么势必造成考生对于雅思成绩的期望值加大,要求提高。
首先,最根本的造成考生不能顺利取得雅思阅读7分的原因还是考生的英语基本功不扎实。考生想要在考试过程中游刃有余,首先必须具备一定的词汇量。这其中还包括很多考生所不熟悉的比较专业的术语。除此之外,扎实的语法知识也是考生是否能取得高分的一个基本原因。
参加过考试的考生就会发现,在雅思考试中碰到长难句是常有的事情。没有一定的语法基础考生没有办法正确理解文章的意义甚至题目的意义。除了词汇和语法之外,考生如果想在考试当中取得不错的分数还需要对于英语的文章结构有一定的了解,这样有助于考生节约定位时间及增加定位准确性。
如考生经常会遇到的试验研究类雅思阅读文章。开始会介绍这个实验的一些基本情况,如试验主体、试验对象等等,接着会介绍试验的具体操作过程,然后是实验的结果,及最终的数据结论。考生如果熟知此类文章的结构,那么答题的过程必将被更快更好的完成。
在雅思阅读基本功扎实的基础上,考生如果对题型技巧及出题角度不熟悉,同样也会影响考生最后顺利地取得高分。雅思阅读考试的题型多变,有细节题,有大意题,有考察整体理解的题型,也有考察辨别信息能力的题型。各种题型的解题方式也不尽相同。包括学员的解题顺序也不一定就按照雅思考试考题的顺序。比如常见的细节段落配对题。
此种题型往往是文章的第一个大题,但是考生恰恰需要把这种题型放到最后去完成。理由很明显,在解答完其他的题目之后,考生会对于文章有更加全面的理解,解答的正确性会增加。同时,其他完成的题目中也有可能出现和此种题型中的题目出题点重复的情况,所以把这种题型放在最后做是比较经济的做法,既节约了定位时间,又增加了正确性。
在这里小编需要再提醒广大考生的是,想要取得高分,在掌握每种题型的解题技巧的同时,还需要研究的是考试的出题角度,研究各种题型考察的是何种能力,然后有针对性的去锻炼这方面的能力。近两年的雅思阅读考试中,所占比重最大的几类题型为细节配对题、是非无判断题、和摘要归纳题。之前常考的小标题配对在近两年的考试中所占比例并不大。
现在几乎每场考试都有细节配对题出现,那么其实可以反映出雅思阅读7分的获得更加注重考生的细节定位能力以及对于材料的理解能力。考生只有在熟知考官的出题角度的基础上,才能在备考的过程中做到有的放矢。
雅思阅读模拟练习及答案
A.
When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonald’s in January 2004, the world’s biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining. One exception was France, where Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the group’s French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots. His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti-globalisers’ favourite enemy operates.
B.
So far Mr Hennequin is doing well. Last year European sales increased by 5.8% and the number of customers by 3.4%, the best annual results in nearly 15 years. Europe accounted for 36% of the group’s profits and for 28% of its sales. December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain, and to a promotion in Germany based on the game of Monopoly.
C
Mr Hennequin’s recipe for revival is to be more open about his company’s operations, to be “locally relevant”, and to improve the experience of visiting his 6,400 restaurants. McDonald’s is blamed for making people fat, exploiting workers, treating animals cruelly, polluting the environment and simply for being American. Mr Hennequin says he wants to engage in a dialogue with the public to address these concerns.
D.
He introduced “open door” visitor days in each country which became hugely popular. In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonald’s through the visitors’ programme last year. The Nutrition Information Initiative, launched last year, put detailed labels on McDonald’s packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and salt content. The details are also printed on tray-liners.
E.
Mr Hennequin also wants people to know that “McJobs”, the low-paid menial jobs at McDonald’s restaurants, are much better than people think. But some of his efforts have backfired: last year he sparked a controversy with the introduction of a “McPassport” that allows McDonald’s employees to work anywhere in the European Union. Politicians accused the firm of a ploy to make cheap labour from eastern Europe more easily available to McDonald’s managers across the continent.
F.
To stay in touch with local needs and preferences, McDonald’s employs local bosses as much as possible. A Russian is running McDonald’s in Russia, though a Serb is in charge of Germany. The group buys mainly from local suppliers. Four-fifths of its supplies in France come from local farmers, for example. (Some of the French farmers who campaigned against the company in the late 1990s subsequently discovered that it was, in fact, buying their produce.) And it hires celebrities such as Heidi Klum, a German model, as local brand ambassadors.
G.
In his previous job Mr Hennequin established a “design studio” in France to spruce up his company’s drab restaurants and adapt the interior to local tastes. The studio is now masterminding improvements everywhere in Europe. He also set up a “food studio”, where cooks devise new recipes in response to local trends.
H.
Given France’s reputation as the most anti-American country in Europe, it seems odd that McDonald’s revival in Europe is being led by a Frenchman, using ideas cooked up in the French market. But France is in fact the company’s most profitable market after America. The market where McDonald’s is weakest in Europe is not France, but Britain.
I.
“Fixing Britain should be his priority,” says David Palmer, a restaurant analyst at UBS. Almost two-thirds of the 1,214 McDonald’s restaurants in Britain are company-owned, compared with 40% in Europe and 15% in America. The company suffers from the volatility of sales at its own restaurants, but can rely on steady income from franchisees. So it should sell as many underperforming outlets as possible, says Mr Palmer.
J.
M.Mark Wiltamuth, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, estimates that European company-owned restaurants’ margins will increase slightly to 16.4% in 2007. This is still less than in the late 1990s and below America’s 18-19% today. But it is much better than before Mr Hennequin’s reign. He is already being tipped as the first European candidate for the group’s top job in Illinois. Nobody would call that a McJob.
