首先,剑桥4-8一定要精听。
每次做题都要按照实际考试时间要求自己集中精力,这样可以防止自己在正式考场上走神。在练习题目过程中要注意雅思听力的口音、设问方式、陷阱存在的地方。每次做完题都要精听各个section,把自己做错和不确定的地方反复听直到完全听懂为止。另外,要把每套题transcript上的生词及不会的表达全部查出来,随录音跟读。最后,做完题目可以根据答案回听,分析考官设题原因。这样几套下来,就基本可以适应考官设题节奏,并且发现自己的弱项并进行集中突破。
注意:剑桥系列的题一定要留一些,作为考试前的模拟题。
第二,就是要熟悉雅思的听力场景。
在考试之前应该将比较容易出现的学术场景都搞清楚。也许大家会有种感觉,有些时候自己是听出来那个单词的可是就是拿不准应该怎么写。这样有可能造成自己的注意力分散甚至错过了下面那道题的答案。
所以建议大家在考试之前要把高频单词拼写一遍,这样在上考场之前心里也会有底,也避免了不必要的失分。
第三,听力词汇积累和发音纠正。
市面上很多参考书都为大家提供了很好的雅思高频词汇总结,大家一定在备考时重视词汇积累,这个不仅仅是知道大意,更重要的是熟悉拼写。这里还要强调的一点就是单词、句子的发音纠正问题。很多学生想当然的按照自己多年来形成的习惯发音,忽视了自己发音不准和错误的地方,导致考官说的内容听不懂,而口语考试的时候自己说的内容,考官听不懂,从而导致不必要的失分。所以这些问题在备考期间一定要注意到。
第四,把握好信号词。
比如一听到however,就要立即反应过来前后内容是转折关系;听到therefore,就要知道前后是因果关系,这些逻辑类信号词,我给大家总结如下:
I. 阐述大意in other words, so to speak, that is to say , that is, in particular, I mean, specially, especially, actually, another way of saying, equally;
II. 补充说明and, also, or, in addition to,one more thing, what’s more, besides, either, as well as, furthermore, moreover;
III 转折but, however, although, though, by/in contrast, as a matter of fact, nevertheless, instead, otherwise, while, though, despite, on the contrary, on the other hand, in spite of, yet, whereas;
IV 因果关系as a result, therefore, so, for, since, for this reason, because, consequently, thus;
V 顺序first, second, last but not least, third, in the middle, after, between, before, next, for a start, afterward, finally, for one thing, for another, in the first place, first of all, to begin with, until, previously, then;
VI 举例例证for instance, for example, such as, like;
VII 归纳总结as a result, altogether, finally, in short, therefore, overall, in sum, thus, on the whole, in brief, to conclude, in a word, consequently, to sum up, to summarize, in conclusion;
