雙語閱讀：雅思考試高分成績八項(xiàng)密門

This article is designed for IELTS students but could also be used as part of a general English course. I normally use this on the first day of a new course and the aim is to promote student autonomy, raise awareness of what is expected and motivate students.

這篇文章是為雅思考生寫的，但是只要英語學(xué)習(xí)者都可以參考。在我之前上過的課程里我都將第一節(jié)課的內(nèi)容，定為這個(gè)，目的是提高同學(xué)們的自覺性，激勵(lì)他們學(xué)習(xí)，以及讓他們對自己的學(xué)習(xí)期許有正確的認(rèn)識(shí)。

It is based on a Ted talk called 8 Secrets of Success. All you need is the video, the picture and the 8 paragraphs below.

這篇文章的靈感來源于TED的一篇演講，名字叫做成功的八項(xiàng)秘密。總結(jié)起來就是照片中的內(nèi)容。

Passion

激情

The most successful IELTS candidates do lots of practice outside the classroom. A good tip is to find something you are really interested in and practice the four skills within that topic. If you have a love for what you are reading or listening to, you are more likely to stick at it and practice regularly.

在雅思考試中取得好成績的同學(xué)，都在課外做了好多功課，比較好的方法是找到自己感興趣的話題，然后在這個(gè)話題中不斷鍛煉自己的四個(gè)基本技巧，只要你對你練習(xí)的內(nèi)容感興趣，你堅(jiān)持可能性就會(huì)大很多。 

Work

努力

There are no tricks to cheat the exam. Manage your time well and set aside some time every day to study and practice. You IELTS test result will be a fair reflection of how much effort you put in.

不要想著在考試的時(shí)候作弊，好好規(guī)劃自己的時(shí)間，每天都要余出一段時(shí)間在雅思備考上，雅思考試的成績一定是和你的努力成正比的。

Focus

專注

When you do a practice test or get a piece of homework marked, try to establish your mistakes and weaknesses. Mistakes should be embraced as they are the single best way to improve. Concentrate on your weaknesses and they will soon become strengths.

當(dāng)你做完一個(gè)習(xí)題，或者一份作業(yè)剛剛批好，請把錯(cuò)誤點(diǎn)和弱項(xiàng)都集中起來，在看待錯(cuò)誤上，我們應(yīng)該應(yīng)該始終認(rèn)為這是我們成長的唯一途徑。

Push

督促

At times you will suffer from a lack of motivation, everyone does. Tell as many of your friends and family as possible you are doing the IELTS test, and more importantly, tell them how much work you have to do. When you start to slip behind they will motivate you.

在學(xué)習(xí)雅思的過程中，難免會(huì)覺得動(dòng)力不足，每個(gè)人都會(huì)這樣，告訴大家你在備考雅思，越多的人越好，家人，朋友，全都告訴他們。更重要的是告訴他們，在備考雅思的過程中你付出了多少努力，這樣子啊你堅(jiān)持不下去的時(shí)候，他們就會(huì)激勵(lì)你前進(jìn)了。

Ideas

靈感

Many students worry that they don’t have enough general knowledge to complete the test. IELTS is not a knowledge test, it is an English test. All of the questions are designed so that most people will have enough ideas to give a good answer. Also, don’t worry about the examiner’s opinion. They don’t have to agree with you.

許多同學(xué)都擔(dān)心自己沒有充足的知識(shí)來完成這項(xiàng)考試，雅思考試并不是在考察你的知識(shí)面，而是英語能力的測試，所有問題的設(shè)置都為了讓更多的人有足夠的答題靈感。除此之外不要考慮考官的想法，他們的答案，想法不一定要和你一致。

Improve

提高

Always be looking for ways to get better. Are there English speakers in your city? Have a chat with them. Do you like watching TV and movies? Watch as many English shows as you can. Do you enjoy reading? Find a blog or news site to practice everyday.

專注于怎樣找到更好的方法提高自己，與你同城的人中，有講英文的嗎？和他們多聊聊天，你喜歡看電視，看電影嗎？那就盡可能的多看些英文電影，喜歡閱讀嗎？那就多找些新聞網(wǎng)站，博客，多看看，每天都堅(jiān)持練習(xí)。

Serve

幫助

Help your classmates as much as you can. This will help you practice your speaking and listening and also establish your strengths and weaknesses. If there is something a classmate needs help with, point it out and try to help. They will probably help you too.

盡可能多幫助同班級(jí)的同學(xué)，在幫助其他人的同時(shí)也是提高口語和聽力的好機(jī)會(huì)，也可以就次機(jī)會(huì)明確自己的弱項(xiàng)和強(qiáng)項(xiàng)在哪里。如果有需要班上的同學(xué)幫助的地方，盡管提出來，并尋求幫助。他們也會(huì)幫助你的。 

Persist

堅(jiān)持

There will be times when you feel like IELTS is all too much. Don’t worry and keep going. Talk to a classmate or teacher about your difficulties and they are sure to help you. Don’t give up.

有的時(shí)候你會(huì)感覺雅思考試的內(nèi)容實(shí)在太多了，不太擔(dān)心這些，繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持。遇到困難的時(shí)候就和老師，同學(xué)多交流，他們一定會(huì)幫助你，不要放棄。
