突破雅思瓶頸的Q&A

黑色字體是來自同學的提問，

目前的雅思分數 L8.5 / R7.5 / W6.5 / S7，目標是四項都拿8。

藍色字體是我的回答，是用英文回答(因為她程度很好)。

今天下午3:00會在粉絲頁開Live直播，

用中文講解這篇內容(想要讓大家可以更懂)。

Reading > 看完文章懂文章也懂題目但是不知道該選T/F/Not given哪一個，

主要是因為題目代換字之後我會想很多，想說他用這個字不是不可以，

但是這題目是要考我"同義字"那我就選T,

考我雖然意思相近但是事實上有些微不同那我就選F/Not given，

另一個煩惱是有時候我不懂雅思代換字的邏輯，

所以即使文章看完三遍還是找不到到底是再說文章哪一段 Orz 

For reading, have you tried a combination of the techniques in 新平行閱讀法 and 無詞閱讀法? They are excellent. 

T/F/NG (facts): for questions to be true, you must be able to find specific, (relatively) obvious information that directly supports ALL of the statement. For False, ANY part of the question must be contradicted. For NG, usually only HALF of the statement can be found. 

Y/N/NG (opinions): These are about the author's opinion, so they're similar to INFERENCE questions on other tests. You (sometimes) need to draw conclusions from the information in the passage. Otherwise, they're the same as T/F/NG.

Writing > 就是一個悲慘，OG裡有一個最終考驗是要分辨文章哪篇是4,6,8分，

那邊我除了4分找得出來，6,8根本分不出來 >"< 

而且無法分辨哪些用字屬於Academic那些屬於general的用字 

Writing: It doesn't really matter if you can't figure out the scores for other essays. It only matters for your own. I used to find that hard, too. The way to "get" which words are academic is to read lots of academic writing. The best source is The Economist. Awesome writing, perfect for the IELTS. If they use a word in a certain way, it's definitely okay on the IELTS.

Speaking > 我會緊張，然後聲音就會很卡，腦袋思路也就跟著很卡.....Orz 

有時候考試給的題目太過籠統我也不知道該怎麼回答，例如有一題問我live music，

可是live music有好多種，我回問考官是想問哪一種考官只笑笑也沒多說甚麼 >"<

Speaking: "Do what you fear and the fear will disappear". The only way to combat nerves is to put yourself in uncomfortable situations where you force yourself to speak English. As for asking an examiner a question in Part 1, they are not allowed to answer ANY question! At most, they will repeat the question once, and then move onto the next question.
