三次考雅思 考试经验心得分享

在报考雅思之前,大家心中一定要先定好一个目标分数,它不仅要尽可能满足你的预期,更重要的是符合所申请专业的要求。我将我的目标分数定为7+。第一次报名雅思是大三上学期9月底,那时的我还是一个雅思小白,虽说有一定的英语基础,但对雅思的认识还仅仅停留在分数上。自学准备的第一次考试,我收获了6.5(5.5)的成绩,除了阅读8分外,其他项表现平平。

实战是最好的老师,此话不虚。有了第一次“滑铁卢”的教训,我在12月再一次报名了雅思,希望通过更加系统的准备,赶在2017年的“尾巴”,一举将其拿下。从10月中旬开始备战雅思,到12月初共50余天的时间里,我集中训练了听力与写作。

对于听力,是雅思考试里的“提分项”,40道题错10道以内便可以上7+。但对我而言,听力一直是我的弱项,因此在准备时下了更多功夫。在备考过程中,我先把剑4-10的听力真题用铅笔完整做了一遍,第一遍全程用1倍速,正常语速播放。做完之后对答案,将错项标出,重新播放出错位置前后约30s的语料,捕捉错项处的正确答案。订正完成后,对part3以及part4的语料进行听写,同样按1倍速播放,用红笔订正,可以反复听出错的句子并反复修改直至与语料原文一致。

这两步完成后,我又重新做了剑4-10的听力真题,以1.25倍速播放,订正答案并对错误处重听。

在做听力的时候,切勿做完一个part便急着对答案,甚至遇到不确定的一个小题,刚听完便对答案,这都是听力考试的大忌。要在平时练习的时候养成良好的习惯,培养自己做题的节奏,连贯性很重要,坚持听完40道题之后再对答案,一方面有利于你更好的积累做听力的感觉,另一方面也是全真模拟考场的环境,毕竟上了考场,听力内容是不可能为你随时停留的,完整听完是重中之重。

对于写作,我收获的最重要的一点便是逻辑清晰。在第二次雅思考试中,我考出了历次写作的最高分,6.5分。比起一味的“炫技”,思路清晰要来的重要得多。写作离不开句型、词汇的支撑,但更重要的是,要做到“答题所问”。

一道雅思写作的题目可能很简单,短短几十个词,但是每一个词都是关键词,不可直接略过。以赞成/反对题型为例,在写作的时候一定要覆盖到两方的观点,但要分出主次,亮明你的观点,不要模棱两可。

无论选择更加赞成还是反对,都要从至少两个维度给出理由,并辅以一个具体事例作为支撑,使得论述饱满具体。此外,注意单词的拼写以及句法尽量不要出现错误,做到在思路清晰、逻辑严谨的基础上组织行文。

第二次考试6.5(6),由于听力发挥失常,最终听说读写四项总分卡在了26.5,感到遗憾的同时第三次考试已经在所难免。比起第一次的惊慌失措,至少在备考方向上已经摸索出一点心得,第三次考试我下定决心一定要和雅思“分手”。

从寒假一直到5月份,期间因为准备GMAT的缘故,雅思就搁置了下来。再次准备雅思,已经是7月份了。这一次我着重准备了听力以及口语。

在第三次备考听力时,我调整了备考思路。有了之前备考听力的经验,除了依然对剑4-10的part3以及part4语料听写外,在此基础上我更换了练习题,加大了所做听力练习题的难度以应对难度不断提升的雅思听力考试。我试着直接以1.25倍速做题,发现效果不错。

同时,我报名参加了雅思听力课程,对我听力水平的提升帮助很大,最终听力涨到了8分。此外,我还报名了一对一口语对练,模拟全真的考试流程。与此同时,我着重准备了口语part2的素材。对于经常出现的高频话题,也进行了针对性的准备。

在准备语料的过程中,我发现许多话题是可以合起来准备的,比如“你最喜欢的季节”与“你理想中定居的城市”就有很多相通之处,“气候”就成为了连结两个话题的关键词。

通过“各个击破”“化零为整”,高频话题的素材很快被整理出来,而最终口语考试收获了6.5分。每年的1、5、9月份是口语的换题季,对自己口语不是很自信的童鞋可以考虑避开换题季,可以等题目出的差不多的时候,再选择报考~

说来惭愧,一共用了近一年的时间才考出了语言成绩。对于雅思考试的备考,我也是在不断摸索、摸爬滚打中才渐渐摸出一点“套路”,最终上岸,“烤鸭”成功。不要放弃,坚信成功就在不远的地方等着你!

雅思阅读素材:药物研究失败的原因

The Triumph of Unreason

A.

Neoclassical economics is built on the assumption that humans are rational beings who have a clear idea of their best interests and strive to extract maximum benefit (or “utility”, in economist-speak) from any situation. Neoclassical economics assumes that the process of decision-making is rational. But that contradicts growing evidence that decision-making draws on the emotions—even when reason is clearly involved.

B.

The role of emotions in decisions makes perfect sense. For situations met frequently in the past, such as obtaining food and mates, and confronting or fleeing from threats, the neural mechanisms required to weigh up the pros and cons will have been honed by evolution to produce an optimal outcome. Since emotion is the mechanism by which animals are prodded towards such outcomes, evolutionary and economic theory predict the same practical consequences for utility in these cases. But does this still apply when the ancestral machinery has to respond to the stimuli of urban modernity?

C.

One of the people who thinks that it does not is George Loewenstein, an economist at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh. In particular, he suspects that modern shopping has subverted the decision-making machinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt. To prove the point he has teamed up with two psychologists, Brian Knutson of Stanford University and Drazen Prelec of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to look at what happens in the brain when it is deciding what to buy.

D

In a study, the three researchers asked 26 volunteers to decide whether to buy a series of products such as a box of chocolates or a DVD of the television show that were flashed on a computer screen one after another. In each round of the task, the researchers first presented the product and then its price, with each step lasting four seconds. In the final stage, which also lasted four seconds, they asked the volunteers to make up their minds. While the volunteers were taking part in the experiment, the researchers scanned their brains using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)。 This measures blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain, as an indication of its activity.

E.

The researchers found that different parts of the brain were involved at different stages of the test. The nucleus accumbens was the most active part when a product was being displayed. Moreover, the level of its activity correlated with the reported desirability of the product in question.

F.

When the price appeared, however, fMRI reported more activity in other parts of the brain. Excessively high prices increased activity in the insular cortex, a brain region linked to expectations of pain, monetary loss and the viewing of upsetting pictures. The researchers also found greater activity in this region of the brain when the subject decided not to purchase an item.

G.

Price information activated the medial prefrontal cortex, too. This part of the brain is involved in rational calculation. In the experiment its activity seemed to correlate with a volunteer's reaction to both product and price, rather than to price alone. Thus, the sense of a good bargain evoked higher activity levels in the medial prefrontal cortex, and this often preceded a decision to buy.

H.

People's shopping behaviour therefore seems to have piggy-backed on old neural circuits evolved for anticipation of reward and the avoidance of hazards. What Dr Loewenstein found interesting was the separation of the assessment of the product (which seems to be associated with the nucleus accumbens) from the assessment of its price (associated with the insular cortex), even though the two are then synthesised in the prefrontal cortex. His hypothesis is that rather than weighing the present good against future alternatives, as orthodox economics suggests happens, people actually balance the immediate pleasure of the prospective possession of a product with the immediate pain of paying for it.

I.

That makes perfect sense as an evolved mechanism for trading. If one useful object is being traded for another (hard cash in modern time), the future utility of what is being given up is embedded in the object being traded.

Emotion is as capable of assigning such a value as reason. Buying on credit, though, may be different. The abstract nature of credit cards, coupled with the deferment of payment that they promise, may modulate the “con” side of the calculation in favour of the “pro”。

J.

Whether it actually does so will be the subject of further experiments that the three researchers are now designing. These will test whether people with distinctly different spending behaviour, such as miserliness and extravagance, experience different amounts of pain in response to prices. They will also assess whether, in the same individuals, buying with credit cards eases the pain compared with paying by cash. If they find that it does, then credit cards may have to join the list of things such as fatty and sugary foods, and recreational drugs, that subvert human instincts in ways that seem pleasurable at the time but can have a long and malign aftertaste. Questions 1-6 Do the following statemets reflect the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 1?

Write your answer in Boxes 1-6 on your answer sheet.

TRUE if the statement reflets the claims of the writer

FALSE if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer

雅思阅读点拨:掌握英语同义词是关键

一、英语词库,即你是否拥有英语对英语的同义词词库,还是只知道中文的意思,要知道这是国际性的英语考试所以他绝对不会以你做中国试题的思维考测你,雅思阅读就是全文的找答案,可是你所定位的词很多时候不会老老实实地坐在原文里等着你,这就需要你具备英语同义词的能力。

如有一道题目,是T/F/NG,题目是:The Medical reference books in Tang Dynasty range from both academical and

practicalcontents. 这句话的考点词是非常明确的,医疗书是否既包括学术,又包括实践的内容,如果只有其中一个,而不包括另一个,一定是NO。在原文中学生怎么也找不到答案,所以选了NG,你是绝对拿不到高分的,因为在原文中,academic变成了theoritical,然而practical却变成了pragmatic,medial reference books转为了medician texts,在学生应用对应法技巧时,如果没有同义词的积累,这题是做不出来的。

二、你的paraprase的能力,就是改句子的能力,但不是写句子,是让你改。高手都很擅长改句子,换了一句话或几句话来说,但是表达一样的意思。 这就是我说的in other words,这个能力在heading list题型里,淋漓尽致地体现了考官的此意图,如题目:The companyemployers show less caring to their staffs. 老板对员工不像从前那样关心了。

原文:The caring image of company has gone.公司关怀员工的形象一去不返了。多么的经典了,所以考官是希望你具备这样的识别能力,可是不做这方面的能力训练,如何能达到这样的识别能力?

三、句子主干的分析,当你通过同义词或paraphrase的能力找到答案所在处时,你要大概的知道这句话的意思,或者你要使用对应法的技巧。可是学生一看到许多单词都不懂,都不知道怎么做了,所以要有分析主干的能力,知道什么是要看的,什么不用看,这里面名堂就多了,老师的经验就充分的体现在这里。

并不是教你看得懂整句话的老师就是很棒,而是教你在单词都看不懂的情况下,仍然能看得懂,这才是最重要的。因为你到了国外念书,每日的阅读量是几百页,而且许多单词对你而言可能都很陌生,如果你把每个单词慢慢的查,每个句式慢慢地分析,你死定了,一天就算你牛,也最多20页左右,而且看完了,也不记得看了什么。这部分是典型的能力加技巧。

四、速度,要有“大义灭亲”的精神,一道题目1分半做不出,一定要学会放弃,告诉自己,一道题目算什么,17道没有了,我还能得6分呢。因为即使是最难的文章也会给学生送分的题目,所以千万要学会放弃。

雅思阅读五步走

1. 词汇强记

掌握大量的雅思阅读词汇是大家正确而且快速的解答雅思阅读题目的保证。词汇量不够,应进行词汇突击。雅思考试的词汇量约为6000~8000词。词汇量小也是导致阅读理解速度慢的重要因素。

2. 快速阅读

雅思阅读考试时间有限,题目量非常大,所以大家在备考雅思阅读考试i的时候,一定要锻炼自己快速阅读的能力。

可选的阅读材料有:TIME, NEWSWEEK, THE ECONOMIST, CHINADAILY, 21st CENTURY等。

因为雅思考试与时代紧密相连,具有一定的时效性,所以报刊文章为泛读的首选。阅读报刊文章应选择一般性的题材,如科普,社会问题,学术观点性的文章,而政治,军事,尖端科技的文章可以略过。采取的阅读方式为快速阅读。

3. 难句突破

雅思阅读考试中,有很多文章中有一些句子句式比较复杂,影响大家的理解,所以在备考雅思阅读考试的时候,突破雅思阅读难句就成为了必要的步骤。

在精读和做雅思试题时,将复杂的难句摘抄出来,然后分析句子结构,彻底消化难点。虽然雅思阅读中不可能有原句重现,但是难句的结构是基本不变的。

4. 模拟练习

雅思阅读考试和国内的英语语言考试不同,所以大家接受雅思阅读模拟练习可以帮助自己更快的熟悉雅思阅读考试的模式,熟练掌握阅读题型。

有两点需要特别注意:首先,雅思阅读的各种题型必须搞熟,尤其是主观题如简答. 填空. 概括等。其次,要看清题目,因为雅思阅读的问法比较灵活,可以是对/错/未给出答案,所以先看清楚要你做什么,再下手不迟,切忌做“无用功”。

5. 总结技巧

雅思阅读考试考的是语言知识和阅读技巧两个方面的内容,所以在备考雅思阅读考试的时候,大家一定要注意分析阅读理解的套路,总结解题技巧。如果个人复习情况不佳,可以根据自己的实际情况选择合适的辅导班。
