Hi there. My name is Emma and in today's video we will be looking at the IELTS,
大家好。我是 Emma，今天的视频中我们继续讲解雅思。
which is a test that ESL students take when they want to immigrate to certain countries such as Canada, Australia, England.
英语学生如果有意愿移民去加拿大、澳大利亚、英国等国家，就需要参加雅思考试。
It's also a test some universities require students take.
部分大学也要求申请的学生有雅思成绩。
So if you want to study at an overseas university, you may have to take this test.
如果你想出国留学，可能就必须准备雅思考试了。
So we will be looking at specifically the speaking section of this test, part three.
今天我们着重讨论雅思口语考试的第三部分。
So the speaking task has three different parts to it; part one, part two, part three.
口语测试分为第一、第二、第三，三个部分。
We will be looking at part three.
今天的重点是第三部分。
Okay, so first I will explain what happens in part three of the IELTS speaking test,
首先我们会分析一下第三部分的考试要求，
and then I will look at some tips on how to do well, and also things you should not do.
接着跟大家分享一些得分技巧和一些应该避免的事情。
So let's get started.
现在开始。
First of all, it's important to know how long this test, this part of the test will take.
首先要知道第三部分的考试时长。
It takes between four to five minutes.
总时长为四到五分钟。
And it's different than part two. In part two, the student is expected to speak for about two minutes and there's no interruption.
要注意，这部分和第二部分不同。第二部分要求你不间断地就一个话题说两分钟。
In this part of the IELTS, it's more like an interview.
而这部分更像是面试。
The examiner asks you some sort of question, you respond.
考官问一个问题，你来回答。
They ask you another question or they might ask you to go deeper into the first question.
接下来他们可能问你另一个问题，也可能要求你更深入地阐述第一个问题。
Okay? What types of questions are there?
那么，你会遇到哪些类型的问题呢？
Well, sometimes they'll ask you to predict something, to analyze something, to compare.
他们常会要你预测、分析或者比较某事。
They might ask you to give your opinion.
也可能要求你表达自己的看法。
Often times, you're looking at the future as well.
一般，很多都是预测性问题。比如，
So for example: what sports do you think will be played in the future? Okay? So often --future questions.
你认为将来什么运动会流行？很多都是这样的预测性问题。
Part three is based on a theme.
第三部分的讨论基于一个明确的主题。
In part two, you're given something to describe often --
第二部分是要求你描述某个事物——
it might be a historical building, it might be a teacher you really liked, it might be an object precious to you.
比如一栋历史建筑，一位你敬爱的老师，或者一件你珍爱的物品等。
Part three continues from part two, so whatever you talked about in part two,
第三部分和第二部分一脉相承，
you're going to talk about in part three, but at a more abstract level.
所以第三部分将继续第二部分的话题，只是更为抽象深入。
