这里写的大部分是自己总结的,有些英文段落是从 ieltsonlinetests (以下简称IOT)上面借鉴来的,上面的经验都是英文写的,我的“借鉴”主要是凝练了下其中的精华部分,并加以翻译和解释说明。
P.S. ieltsonlinetests 可以免费在线做雅思考试题,同时还提供答案和听力原文。也有很多答题经验和技巧的分享。
首先,先看看雅思非主观题评分标准,可以说明为何雅思比托福相对简单点...吧。
I. Section 1 (Form filling or short notes type) 填空题
In section 1 of IELTS listening module, you find conversation going on between two persons (两人对话). For example, a job candidate is talking to the HR or a student is making enquiry, about hostel accommodation, from the hostel warden etc.
(面试,学生向宿管咨询住宿情况等等)
这一部分是比较简单的,每个问题/填空题之间的间隔也是比较长的,而且问题的顺序就是按照对话的顺序进行的,无需担心会漏掉答案,只要用心听,10分满分还是比较容易的。
1.1 陷阱型问题:答案往往不是那个第一次提及的(就好像真爱往往不是初恋),而是后面有反转的那个,所以遇到答案不要轻易就下笔,稍微停顿下。
例 (1)
>>>问题:什么时候抵达目的地?
>>>答案:10:15 am.
>>>分析:这里易错填10:00 am. 原因是没有算上15mins的休息时间,正确答案应该是10:15 am.
例 (2)
>>>问题:目的地是哪里?
>>>答案:Animal Park.
>>>分析:这里说上个月去的亚瑟岛,这次this time的才是正确答案 — Animal Park.
1.2 生词,解释型答案
例:
>>>问题:计划的活动有哪些?
>>>答案:“Birds of Prey”
>>>分析:答案已经给出 — “Birds of Prey(猛禽)”,but点解?没听说过呀,后面Katie就对其进行了解释:鹰、隼、鸢这类的猛禽,观赏它们捕食。
1.3 答题技巧
(1) Predict Your Answer (From IOT) 预测答案
任何听力考试给出的建议都是先“快速浏览问题” -- First you should quickly go through all the 10 questions in section 1 and predict the answer at the same time. Grammatically, whether the answer should be a singular word or a plural one, whether a number is asked in the question or it is a word to be written there in the blank. 预览的同时辨别问题并加以预测,从语法角度分析:答案是一个单数还是复数词,是数字还是一个词。
例:
First Name: ____________ (Answer is a word)
Wage Rate: ____________ (Answer is a number)
(2) Avoid silly mistakes 避免低级错误,比较常见的错误是填写“单位”,有就不要写,没有自己补充。
For example:
Pay rate: $ ______ (20 is answer)
Pay rate: _______ ($20 is answer)
Time: _____ hours (2 or Two is answer)
Time: __________ (2 hours or Two hours is answer)
II. Section 2
1. (Chart or diagram questions) 图表类,比较常见的 Flow Chart 流程图 -- a kind of step by step instruction diagram or illustrative diagram related to the information in the audio. 介绍完成一件事的步骤/流程。
Like all the questions in the IELTS listening module, you can keep in mind that the information in the audio always flow in the order of the questions in the flow chart.
所有的雅思听力考试都遵循着“问题的顺序和原文材料顺序保持一致”,所以按部就班的听就可以。
Since flow chart is in the form of short steps, you need to focus on the important information in the audio and avoid any extended information or extra information.
抓住重点信息,摒弃额外/次要信息。这里有个小的trick,非答案部分相对连读较多,且语速快;而重点部分/答案部分会被重读,且语速相对慢。
1.1 例题
例 (1):
>>> 解题思路:这个题本身思路就很清晰,没听过材料也看得出是烘焙某种食物。
例 (2):
Go to __(1)__ website --> Visit __(2)__ page --> Check __(3)__ and job description --> Select __(4)__ you wan to apply --> Fill your name, __(5)__ and phone numbers --> Attach your __(6)__ --> Attach __(7)__ (optional) --> Click on __(8)__
>>> 解题思路:划出重点单词key words,比如(1)和(2)是登录 xx 网站,打开 xx 网页;到了(3)是获取 xx 和工作描述的信息,工作描述给出了,重点听出现在前面的词。(6)和(7)都是attach sth,但是(7)attach的是可选的optional,所以把optional标记重点。
这个题的听力原文材料如下:
The XYZ company welcomes all the job seekers on the careers portal. On the website of (1)XYZ, in order to apply for a job, you can first visit the (2)career page where you can see a number of available (3)vacancies along with the job descriptions. Out of the available opportunities, you can choose the (4)job you wish to make an application for and once you choose, an online form will appear where you can enter your details such as name, (5)email and your mobile numbers. Uploading your (6)resume is mandatory while you may or may not write (7)cover letter. After you have filled the online form, just click on the (8)submit button in order to finish your job application. You can now await for response from the HR regarding your application.
1.2 Word Instruction(From IOT) 选词需要遵循的原则
The word instruction plays a key role in IELTS listening and hence you need to be very careful about it while writing your answers. Remember that your answer should be within 3 words!!! Because in IELTS listening, you never have to write answer in more than 3 words. 答案不会超过3个单词!!!
Let's say, you think your answer is of 4 words. In that case, there could be two possibilities: your answer is either incorrect or you need to adjust it within 3 words.
如果超过3个词,要么答案错了,要么重新调整,缩减单词个数以符合标准。
Thus, you may remove articles, prepositions etc. such as "you", "the", "in", "of" etc. in order to adjust your answer but make sure that it makes sense grammatically.
可以被删减的词包括“定冠词”,“介词”,还有“人称代词(Personal Pronoun)”等等。当然,删减后需要保证短语仍符合语法规则。
2. Multiple Choice Question(MCQ) 选择题
2.1 处于Section 2的单选题会比较简单,后面的Section 3也会有单选题,不过就复杂的多。
例 (1):
听力原文:
>>> 思路:这道题听完你会发现选项里的词你都听到过,不过C选项Nepal这么窄的范围应该不会是正确答案的,一家 Travel Agency 不太可能 mostly deals with one country or a place. A 选项 Big Cities 在文中是被 ignored 了。
例 (2):
听力原文:
>>> 思路:but primarily, primarily == mostly, 所以答案是Asia
2.2 解题技巧
The most important strategy to solve MCQ questions is to underline the keywords.
重点词下划线
In the easy type of MCQs, you will find “one word or two words” options to choose from. In this case, it is extremely easy to concentrate at the audio and question simultaneously.
Section 2的题属于比较简单的题型,通常每个选项由1 ~ 2个单词组成。
关键词可以这样划出:
Which of the two things are included in the tour cost?
Accommodation
Picnic
Fishing trip
Table tennis
Restaurant meal
