其他注意小点 39 | 40 | * 人名、地名：要多听，注意一些口音和连读带来的差别，比如“M”和“N”、“G”和“J”、double M等 41 | * 数字：要多听，注意“A”和“8”的区别 42 | * 金钱：学会美元$、欧元€、英镑￡的符号 43 | * 时间：多种格式均可，就用工作中常用的1st November这样的就行 44 | * 国籍（Nationality）：写“哪里人”，而不写“国家”，比如Italian、Chinese 45 | 46 | ## 抓关键词 47 | 48 | * 时间：题目有没有限定时间（现在、过去、未来）？有的话就要注意各个选项应用的范围，留意关键词：表现在的now/currently，表过去的past/was/were等 49 | * 双方观点题：一定要双方同意才是答案。因此，除了要注意原文出现的与答案对应的关键词，还要注意however/but/better to等表转折的关键词 50 | * 留意一些替换类型：比如概括关系替换（fruit-apple）、解释词义、同义替换（characteristic-distinguish）等 51 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /publish/reading.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Reading 2 | 3 | 考试形式：60分钟读3篇文章，共40道题（14+13+13），三个部分难度递增。考试的文章以英语国家日常生活素材为基础，可能从报纸、广告、时间表、宣传单、说明书、书籍或杂志中摘取，考察考生对信息的理解及运用的能力。试题包括一篇较长的描述性、而非论证性的文章。 4 | 5 | * 第一部分为涉及**基本生存/社会生存**的文本，主要提供**一般性、事实性**的信息 6 | * 第二部分侧重**工作场景**（职场生存），包括两篇文本，语言更为复杂（如职位描述、合同等） 7 | * 第三部分侧重**一般性场景**（一般性阅读），包括一篇较长的文本（如来自小说、杂志或非小说图书的摘录），多为记叙文或说明文 8 | 9 | 总体的考试技巧是： 10 | 11 | * **快速阅卷**，花个2-3分钟，对几篇阅读的话题、难度等心中有数，大致有个时间分配的计划 12 | * **掐好时间**，平均而言每篇短文20分钟。总体分配上，前面短文最好能为后面留出时间，整体最好剩5分钟左右校对答案 13 | * **做完题目就填答题卡**，小步提交嘛，算好总体时间就可以 14 | * **仔细阅读指令**，搞清楚要填的是单词还是选项A/B/C或是其他，单词的话有没有词数限制 15 | * **扫读文本**，寻找关键词（原词、同义词、近义词）、段落安排等以定位作答所需的具体信息 16 | * **仔细阅读**，定位到信息地点以后，对前后左右的上下文再阅读一下，做出回答 17 | 18 | 复查的时候要注意结合以下考试规则进行： 19 | 20 | * 答案可用大小写，不扣分；作答时无需使用标点符号（如逗号、连字符、撇号等）； 21 | * **含有连字符的词视为一个单词**（比如absent-minded） 22 | * **注意拼写**。拼错、字迹不清晰会被直接视为错误答案 23 | * **注意语法**。**时态、单复数**等搞错会被直接视为错误答案 24 | * **注意词数限制**。不要多填 25 | * **注意是否使用原词**。一般来说，填空题都会选择原词，选择题则会出现近义词（组）或同义词（组） 26 | 27 | ##

阅读技巧 40 | 41 | * 一般文章都是按照总-分-总的结构展开。精读的范围在首段、第二段、最后一段；同样，这些段落的精读在首句、第二句、最后一句 42 | * 其他的细枝末节，例如举例展开、人物头衔、工作单位等就扫过即可。除非找答案的时候用到 43 | * 论据性质的东西也可以需要的时候再看，比如引用某些人说的话，“换句话说”（in other words, that is to say, put another way） 44 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /publish/speaking.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # 口语 2 | 3 | 背作文模板在应对口语Part 3的对话时能帮助你更有条理地沟通，其词汇也大致通用；Part 2作1-2分钟描述需要有逻辑（比如描述物体从外观到内在和感受、描述事件按照时间顺序等），主要在于顺畅连接和掌握大量领域常用词汇；Part I聊天更加放松。总体而言，除了背作文模板外，还需要积累Part 1和Part 2常见领域的大量常见的、地道的词汇和表达。这在[十天突破雅思口语](https://item.jd.com/10022147697315.html)一书有完整语料。 4 | 5 | 推荐有心提高口语的同学按照话题安排学习掌握语汇。然后，备考前夕，可以下载当季真题全部看一遍，做到心中有数。雅思口语会在每年1、5、9月撤换部分旧题、换上部分新题。由于其话题库总是保持相对稳定的，并且其过往考题完全公开，因此理论上通过穷举地准备当季考题+上季旧题，完全可以达到极高的押题命中率。我报考的是4月最后一场考试，考前一周按照[这个真题库](http://ielts.xdf.cn/202101/11141941.html)查缺补漏，确实被考到许多(>50%)熟悉的题。 6 | 7 | ## Part I 8 | 9 | Part 1较为轻松，回答**清晰、直接**即可，切勿长篇大论，正常情况下直接回答1句+稍微解释1句就行，再多也不要超过3句，否则会占用后面考试时间，减少发挥机会。 10 | 11 | Part 1有些比较正常的询问个人情况的考题，请见附录[Part 1过往真题](appendix-part-1-past-questions.md)一节。 12 | 13 | ## Part II 14 | 15 | Part 2要求：**清晰、准确**。不要求长难句、浮夸短语，备考可以按照话题来开展，主要在于熟悉各类话题的常用但地道的语汇。 16 | 17 | * 对于题目中的4个问题（3个基本话题+1个解释why），一般可选1-2个详细展开（给一点细节） 18 | * 需要特别注意话题涉及的**时态**！！！**单复数**稍微注意 19 | * 不同话题的一些基本词汇需要掌握，话题间的**词汇量**很重要 20 | 21 | ## Part III 22 | 23 | Part 3**答题四部曲：简明回答问题、给出理由、论据支撑（没有论据的话就简单转述下结论）、对比反面选项**。 24 | 25 | 题目类型一般有几种： 26 | 27 | * 你的意见（Do you think... / Do you agree...） 28 | * 分析原因（Why...） 29 | * 分析利弊（What are the advantages and disadvantages...） 30 | * 比较（Which are more... / Have ... changed?） 31 | * 列举（What are the reasons...） 32 | 33 | 对于“你的意见”型，基本回答模板如下： 34 | 35 | **I think , because . [For example, .] [... is also ]. On the other hand, it's also true that **. 36 | 37 | 对于“分析原因”和“分析利弊”型，基本回答模板如下： 38 | 39 | **I think the main reason/advantage/benefit is . And another reason/advantage/benefit is . On the other hand(side)/Unlike ..., .** 40 | 41 | 总体而言，听力的三部分答问都要遵循“**直接、清晰**”的原则，宁要清晰，不要炫技，因为语言的本质是要互相沟通的。 42 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /publish/writing.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Writing 2 | 3 | ## 目录 4 | 5 | * [大作文](#大作文) 6 | * [小作文](#小作文) 7 | 8 | 以下套路，均来自于[十天突破雅思写作](https://item.jd.com/14841298086.html)一书，真的非常好。 9 | 10 | ## 大作文 11 | 12 | ### 1. 找论点：STREEC法 13 | 14 | * **S**kill - Efficiency 15 | * **T**ethnology - Safety 16 | * **R**ight - Responsibility 17 | * **E**nvironment - Health 18 | * **E**mployment - Finance 19 | * **C**ulture - Fun 20 | 21 | 练习的时候，学会穷举排查有关的短语。熟练了以后，大概瞟一下，哪几个话题大概率是没关系的先排除，在剩下的话题中找例子，可以加快速度、提升效率，最后论点不够的话再回来那些被干掉的话题中再找找。 22 | 23 | ### 2. 定类型：Argument型还是Report型 24 | 25 | Argument（辩论类）要求考生**辩论观点**或**比较利弊**，占最近5年亚太区考试的85%，是应该重点备考的类型。Argument又有四种提问方式： 26 | 27 | | No. | 提问方式| 类型| 频率| 建议| 28 | | :---: | :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- | 29 | | 1 | Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. | **双方讨论**型（D & G型） | 高 | 重点备考 | 30 | | 2 | Do you agree or disagree? / To what extent do you agree or disagree? | **同不同意**型 | 高 | 重点备考 | 31 | | 3 | Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? | **比较利弊**型 | 中 | 次重点备考 | 32 | | | To what extent do you think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks? || | | 33 | | 4 | What is your opinion? / What is your view? | **你怎么看**型 | 低 | 看一两个模板就好| 34 | 35 | Report（分析解释类）题目没有结论和观点，仅给出现象，要求考生**分析原因/问题/影响/因素（causes/problems/effects/factors）**，或者**给出方案/措施（solutions/measures）**。 36 | 37 | ### 3. 定结构：采用4段式还是5段式 38 | 39 | 两种结构的基本构成如下。采用的标准在于**分论点的详实程度**。想不到太多论点（≤2），但是每个论点可用的支撑句多，那就用5段式，一个论点一段；能想到很多论点（>2），但是每个论点能想到的支撑句比较少，那就4段式只写正反两段，但是写长一点。 40 | 41 | * 4段式结构：开头段（1-3句）+正论点主体段（6-8句）+反论点主体段（4-6句）+结论段（1-3句） 42 | * 5段式结构：开头段（1-3句）+正论点主体段1（2-4句）+正论点主体段2（2-4句）+反论点主体段1（2-4句）+结论段（1-3句） 43 | 44 | #### 开头段3句话怎么写 45 | 46 | 跟作文类型小有关联。下面穷举如下： 47 | 48 | **Argument - 双方讨论**型（D & G型）一般套路是：转述背景1句+完整转述双方观点1-2句。这种题不需要你首先给出自己的观点（当然你非要给也行）。 49 | 50 | > Some people think that ... . Others, however, have a different view(believe) that ... . 51 | > 52 | > Some people believe that ..., while other argue that ... . 53 | 54 | **Argument - 同不同意**型一般套路是：转述背景1句+完整转述观点1句+表达意见1句。因为问你是否同意，所以需要你表达观点。 55 | 56 | > (Background). While some argue that ..., I tend to believe that ... . 57 | > 58 | > (Background). Although I agree that ..., but I think(believe) that ... . 59 | > 60 | > (Background). Some think that ... . I disagree with this view. 61 | 62 | **Argument - 比较利弊**型一般套路是：转述背景1句+表达赞不赞成1句。 63 | 64 | > People have different views about ... . While ... can have benefits, I believe that ... . 65 | > 66 | > People have different views about ... . Some people think that ..., I do believe that the advantages(benefits) of this outweigh the disadvantages(drawbacks). 67 | 68 | **Report**型一般答题套路为：先看清要分析的方面（是成因还是方案，还是两者），简洁的语言转述背景1句+概括自己要进行的分析1-2句。 69 | 70 | > There are several causes of/reasons for this trend. 71 | > 72 | > I think A, B and C are responsible for this trend. 73 | 74 | 摆方案的时候可以这样开始： 75 | 76 | > Various measures could be taken to solve/tackle this/the problem. 77 | 78 | #### 结尾段怎么写 79 | 80 | * **双方讨论**型：In my opinion, A would not be the best way to ..., we should instead do B. 81 | * **同不同意**型：In conclusion, I agree that A would do ... . However, I believe that B ... . 82 | * **比较利弊**型：Overall, it seems to me that the benefit of A outweighs the drawbacks. 83 | * **Report**型：In conclusion, there are various reasons for ..., but measures could be taken to solve the issue. 84 | 85 | ### 4. 定支撑句 86 | 87 | 支撑句一般要分话题来掌握，多吸收一点词汇。一般来说，一个分论点就是3句话展开（结构如下所示），次重要的分论点可省去举例过程。 88 | 89 | **分论点（Ideas）** ----> **深入展开（Explain in Details）** ----> **举例（Examples）** 90 | 91 | 深入展开的部分，思考过程可以从三个基本问题入手：Why？So？What？我自己总结的思考过程可以这样： 92 | 93 | 1. 如果论点中有名词/子论点过于抽象，连What（在说啥）都不清楚，那么可以尝试从**What**入手充实一下 94 | 2. 如果What是清楚的，但Why不是非常直白，那么就从**Why**入手分析一下原因 95 | 3. 如果论点过于直白/常识，What/Why都非常清楚，那么就从**So**入手讲讲其带来的结果和影响 96 | 97 | ### 5. 连接词 98 | 99 | 最常用的连接方式大概有3种：连接词、代词及等价名词。其中直接使用**连接词**的方式称为明链接，使用**代词**或**等价名词**做指代的方式称为暗连接。都可以用，最好是**适当**使用**多种**方法，以不造成审美疲劳为原则。 100 | 101 | 明连接的主要连接词如下表所示。前5种多用于进一步**充实事实、铺陈材料**，后3种多用于通过“因果”“假设/让步”来**推动论述发展**。 102 | 103 | | | 展开方式 | 常用连接词 | 104 | | :---: | :---: | :--- | 105 | | What | 举例展开 | For example .., for instance .., such as .. | 106 | | | 下定义展开 | This means that .., in other words .. | 107 | | | 限定范围展开 | Specifically, .. | 108 | | | 类比展开 | Similarly, .. | 109 | | | 对比展开 | By contrast, .., While .., Unlike .. | 110 | | Why | 让步展开 | Although .. | 111 | | | 假设展开 | if, may, could, would, would .. if/without | 112 | | So | 因果展开 | As a result, .., Therefore .. | 113 | 114 | 与明连接不同，暗连接（指示代词/名词）依赖的是上下文之间**内在的**语义或逻辑联系。 115 | 116 | > 注意写作中几个不可数名词：information, knowledge, feedback, advice, equipment, behaviour, potential 117 | 118 | ## 小作文 119 | 120 | 写小作文有具体的套路。一般来说，写四段。每段的长度基本确定（因为词数限制），主体段和结尾段的内容大同小异，其他段则视信件内容不同而有不同。写信过程**注意简洁、不要啰嗦**，**所选语言正式程度应与收信对象相匹配**。 121 | 122 | * 主体段一：简要提出写信目的，是请求、建议还是感谢等（I'm writing to request ...）。一般1-2句 123 | * 主体段二：阐明写信动机，你想干嘛。具体内容视信件类型不同而不同。一般3-4句 124 | * 主体段三：进一步提出自己希望的效果。具体内容视信件类型不同而不同。一般4-5句 125 | * 主体段四：对于“请求/建议/邀请”信而言，表示希望尽快得到回复；对于“抱怨/道歉/感谢”信而言，表示希望强化行动（比如道歉就表示自己会有所行动、抱怨则希望对方有所行动、感谢就再谢一次）。一般1-2句 126 | 127 | 下面罗列一下不同风格下的开头、中间、结尾风格： 128 | 129 | | | 正式 | 半正式 | 非正式 | 130 | | :----: | :------------------------------------------- | :--------------- | :------------------------- | 131 | | 开头 | Dear Sir/Madam | Dear Mr/Ms Smith | Dear John | 132 | | | Dear Sir or Madam | Dear Mrs Smith | Hi Ann | 133 | | 主体段 | I'm writing with regard to ... | 同正式用语 | I am writing about ... | 134 | | | I am interested in receiving ... | 同正式用语 | Please send me ... | 135 | | 结尾 | I am looking forward to hearing from you ... | 同正式用语 | Hope to hear from you soon | 136 | | 落款 | Yours faithfully, | Yours sincerely, | Regards, | 137 | | | | Sincerely, | Best wishes, | 138 | 139 | ### Making a request 140 | 141 | * 主体段二：具体来说，应说明自己面临的情况，如果希望更充实还可以初步提及自己的要求 142 | * 主体段三：具体来说，细化自己所需要的帮助，还可以再说明对方满足自己的请求确实具有可行性的理由 143 | 144 | ``` 145 | **I'm writing to** request some annual leave next month. 146 | 147 | My wife and I were married last year, but the honeymoon has been postponed due to the coronavirus situation. We would really love to spend some time together as new couples, given the world is recovering and businesses are opening up. (简要说明背景，你想度蜜月了) 148 | 149 | **To do this**, **I would need to take the time off for a next month**, from Monday 10th to Friday 14th. **My schedule for that week is relatively light**, apart from some coding work. **I'll transfer the knowledge before I leave, and Jeff would be able to pick it up easily**, since we were pairing at the piece I'm working on, and he has all the context needed. Besides that, **I don't have any urgent stuff to handle at that time**. (To do this从第二段的背景转折过来提出请求。接下来罗列理由：工作轻、有人接手、不紧急) 150 | 151 | **I would be grateful if you could allow my leave**. **It'll be an important event in our lives that we don't want to miss**. **Please let me know your thoughts**. (希望请求被满足、强调事件重要性、表明希望收到回复。这三句都可作为模板背诵) 152 | 153 | Best wishes, (工作信件应正式，不能写Yours等) 154 | ``` 155 | 156 | ### Making a suggestions 157 | 158 | * 主体段二：具体来说，应说明出现的情况（你想要提建议所针对的情况），如果希望更充实可以初步说明自己的建议 159 | * 主体段三：具体来说，细化自己的建议，若希望更充实还可以提出另一种备选方案 160 | 161 | ``` 162 | Dear Jan, (因为是朋友所以可以Dear) 163 | 164 | As you know, we'll be moving to a new house soon and there are a few things that I won't be able to take with me. I need to sell some of my furniture, and **I'm writing to see if you would be interested**? (说明写信目的是看对方有无兴趣买家具，同时简单交代了背景) 165 | 166 | **In particular** **I want to sell my couch**. Do you remember it - the yellow one in the living room? We used to sit together and watch TVs when you visited last time. It's soft, cozy and super comfortable. It's long, and it could cater 3 or 4 people. On the weekend, you can even lay there and reading books, it would be very relaxing. (简要介绍你要卖的东西) 167 | 168 | **I know you've always liked this furniture**, **so I could let you have it at a good price**. **I'd prefer sell it to you than to a stranger**. (强化对方可买的理由：你喜欢、给你优惠、我跟你关系好) 169 | 170 | **So why don't you come around and have a look yourself on Sunday**? I'll be here for all day, so **maybe we could have some lunch together**? (提出邀请、有人情味) 171 | 172 | **Give me a ring and let me know.** (希望她来) 173 | 174 | Yours, (这里就可以用Yours了) 175 | ``` 176 | 177 | ### Making an apology 178 | 179 | * 主体段二：具体来说，应说明自己**做了什么**对对方产生了**什么影响** 180 | * 主体段三：具体来说，应提出自己打算**采取什么行动**来停止影响 181 | 182 | ``` 183 | Dear James, 184 | 185 | **I was very upset** (to get your letters saying/knowing) that **has been spoiling your evenings and causing you some distress**. **I am really, really sorry about that**. **I had no idea that** you would be able to hear so much, so **I hope you will accept my apologies**. (说知道了很不安，我十分抱歉，我原本不知道，希望你能接受我道歉。这四个句子都可以是模板，背诵之) 186 | 187 | **As you may have guessed**, I'm trying to refit my kitchen in the evenings when I get home from work. Unfortunately it is all taking longer than expected and I have been having problems with getting things to fit properly. This has meant a lot of banging and hammering. (解释一下，留意句头的过渡) 188 | 189 | As the kitchen is still not finished, **I have decided to** call in a professional builder who will finish the work in the next day or two. He'll work only during daytime hours, **so you won't be** disturbed in the evenings again, **I promise**. (将采取行动，因此你不会再收到影响，我保证) 190 | 191 | **Sorry to have caused the troubles.** (不好意思给你添麻烦了) 192 | 193 | Jeff 194 | ``` 195 | 196 | ### Making a complaint 197 | 198 | 抱怨信有两种，一种是抱怨已经发生的事情，这种信的重点是强调既成事实所带来的问题，以及如何改变现状；一种是抱怨仍在计划之中、尚未实施的事情，这种信的本质是对计划进行劝阻，因此重点是在强调现状很美好，如果改变将会带来什么问题。同时，抱怨信的文体和用词通常会较为正式一些。 199 | 200 | * 主体段二：具体来说，应说明对方可能、或者已经造成的影响 201 | * 主体段三：具体来说，进一步说明对方已经造成或者可能造成的问题有多严重，充实一些还可以讲讲如何改变现状（或为什么不要改变） 202 | 203 | ``` 204 | Dear Sir or Madam, 205 | 206 | My name is Irana Smirnova and **I am writing to raise my concerns regarding** the plans to close our local sports and leisure center. (表明写作目的，是要抱怨/表达关切) 207 | 208 | **It is hard to underestimate the importance of this center for citizens.** **In fact**, it became the point where we all meet each other to share some positive emotions and spend free time. **Also**, one **cannot** miss the influence of sporting activities provided there on the health of the people. (理由一般讲两点，In fact/Also，用反义来讲似乎高级一点：不能低估重要性、不能低估影响，论点要高，比如运动使人健康，不运动就使人不健康) 209 | 210 | My family is used to going to the center several times a week. My husband and I attended fitness lessons for adults on Monday and Friday after work. My two sons went to the center after school; they have a place there to do their homework, to play with other children and relax in safe environment. On weekends, we usually meet friends there and go to the swimming pool and open-air tennis courts. (题目要求，其实也是展开论述，不需要什么华丽的句子) 211 | 212 | I can think of **several negative consequences** the closure of the center would do. **The first impact** is that people could become less engaged in sport activities which will definitely affect their health. **The second thing is going to cause** is that children will lose the opportunity to spend their time in a healthy atmosphere and will spend more time at the street. **Finally**, for the people interested in sports it will become more difficult to get to the place to exercise as the nearest sports center is in Toronto which is 30 miles away. (“不好的结果”用的是比较正式的文体，气势一下就出来了。一二三那个排比是从拜登的演讲里抄来的) 213 | 214 | I believe this question **deserves close attention**.

You know, the previous one was a bit too small after we adopted this Alaska pet dog who is growing up so quick! (写信告知目的、搬新家常见说法) 231 | 232 | **I bet you will like it**. Now we have a big live room, three bedrooms and a very modern kitchen. We even have a garden with a large lawn! We also bought a large Samsung TV with pretty sharp color and high resolution in the living room, so we could just sit back in the cozy couch and play video games if you pay a visit. Oh, and Lion, the Alaska, he's the happiest one, because he can run freely now and have fun in the large lawn outside! (介绍新房常见说法，你会喜欢的。其他的都是日常介绍) 233 | 234 | **So why don't you come and take a look by yourself this weekend**? **We would all love to see you**. We could play games or have a barbecue in the garden if the weather is good.
