雅思(IELTS)是国际英语语言测试系统的缩写。简而言之，这是一种基于听、说、读、写这门语言的四个关键方面来给你的英语语言能力评分的考试系统。在大多数情况下，准备雅思意味着长时间坐着学习。但是，除了学习冗长的雅思学习指南和复习书籍之外，你还可以做更多的事情。

提高IELTS成绩的技巧

NO.1 学习词汇

英语学习者被教导尽可能多地将单词放在适当的上下文中。你可以通过经常阅读来学习。你接触到的单词越多，你的词汇量就会越高。阅读时，密切注意你不认识的单词，并用记号笔在它们下面划线。你应该试着从上下文来理解它们的意思。在这之后，在字典里查单词。阅读和收听有挑战性的材料，如英语新闻，这样你会接触到很多新单词。一旦你学会了新单词，就要练习使用它。

经常使用新单词将帮助你学会流利地说英语。研究表明，要让一个单词成为你日常讲话的一部分，需要10到20次的重复。

Checklist

✓ Record expressions that can be used in a variety of academic contexts.

✓ Record phrases (rather than individual words)

✓ Use a good monolingual dictionary to check proper word arrangement

✓ Avoid spending too much learning highly specialized words

✓ Record useful expressions related to these topics

✓ Practice talking and writing about them in English

✓ Use newspapers, magazines and news websites to learn more

NO.2 阅读，阅读，再阅读

你需要有一本英英词典，查出新单词的意思，练习英英思维。

Checklist

✓ Skim and scan to form a general picture of a text quickly

✓ Make sure you know exactly what’s required for each task

✓ Check all instructions carefully

✓ Use the work for further clues about the content and organization of the text

✓ Remember the key vocabulary may be explained for you in the text

✓ Don’t use a dictionary until you’ve done the task and checked your answers.

完成任务并检查完答案之前不要使用字典。你可以每天早上读一份英语报纸，听英语新闻。

NO.3 提高你的写作能力

把单词记录下来，作为你英语课程的一部分。把这个词的定义和句子写在你的笔记本上，以便日后查阅。你应该响亮地说出这个单词来启动你与声音相关的记忆，并将这个单词与你肯定知道的单词起来。例如，“immense”意为“巨大的”，与“colossal”、“ enormous”和“expansive”有相似的含义。

Checklist

✓ Practice timed writing to improve your speed

✓ Never write answers BELOW the minimum length

✓ Remember that Task 2 is longer and has more marks, so leave enough time for it

(Task 1)

✓ Describe the information, not the diagram itself (e.g. you don’t need to say exactly what’s shown on the vertical and horizontal axes of a graph)

✓ Select the important features and choose figures to support these

✓ To practice, look for diagrams, graphs, and charts in the newspaper or on the Internet and analyze them. Notice how diagrams are used on TV programs

(Task 2)

✓ Analyze the question carefully

✓ Make a paragraph plan before you write

✓ Check that all parts of the question are addressed

✓ Always leave time to edit your writing

✓ Know your common mistakes and check for them

NO.4 练习流利度和发音

口语测试分为三个部分分别是structured interview, a short talk, and free interview。面试官会问你2到3个熟悉的话题，持续4到5分钟。

它所需要的只是不断的练习。通过使用一个新词或一个正确的发音，学生可以加强练习他所学到的东西，并把它记在脑海中。同时，这也向教他新技能的人发出了信号，无论是老师、朋友还是同事，表明他已经有意识地努力记住所学的东西。

Checklist

For Fluency:

✓ Practice talking for a considerable long time

✓ Talk aloud in English to hear yourself pronounce the words

✓ Record yourself speaking on different topics as often as you can

For Pronunciation:

✓ Listen to spoken English (e.g. on radio/TV/ films) as much as possible

✓ Repeat phrases after the speaker in recordings to help you speak in word groups and use stress and intonation appropriately

✓ Record and listen to yourself speaking as much as you can

NO.5 练习听力

你可以每天早上听英语新闻，然后试着把它们写下来，然后分析。以下是一些关于如何准备听力技巧的建议。

Checklist

✓ Use the preparation time to think about the task content and focus

✓ Make sure you know exactly what’s required for each task and check the instructions

✓ After checking your answers, listen again, and try to work out the cause of any problem

How to improve:

✓ Remember that you only hear the recording once. Don’t pause the CD when you’re practicing

✓ Finally, listen once more to the tapescript and highlight useful expressions

这些有用的技巧将使你为考试做好准备。然而，你的成功率取决于你的承诺和实践。两者的结合将会给你一个好机会获得期望的雅思成绩。
