Number six is another common mistake students make, their spelling.
第六个诀窍也是学生们经常会犯的一个错误——他们的拼写。
A lot of students forget that the reading section also has a writing component and that is you have to write your answers.
很多学生都忘了其实阅读理解也有书写的部分，那就是你们要把答案写出来。
You also have to spell your answers correctly, and many students, unfortunately, make spelling mistakes.
在这一部分你们同样需要正确地把答案拼写出来，然而不幸的是，很多学生都会出现拼写错误。
So it's very important to practice spelling before you do the IELTS.
所以，在参加雅思考试之前练习拼写单词也是很重要的。
It will help you with the listening section, the writing section, and the reading section.
这在考试的听力部分、写作部分和阅读部分都有帮助。
I can't emphasize this enough. Smelling... Spelling... Not smelling. Spelling matters. Okay?
这个问题我怎么强调都不过分。一定要注意拼写问题。
One idea is you can get a book and any time you spell a word wrong, write it in your book and practice those words.
有一个办法就是，你们可以准备一个本子，无论什么时候写错了单词，都把这个单词写到本子上去，然后记住这些单词。
Have a spelling book for yourself so you can see which words you often make mistakes with.
做一个属于你们自己的单词本，这样就可以看看你们经常写错哪些单词了。
Number seven, a lot of students also make this mistake with grammar.
第七个诀窍，很多学生还会经常犯语法错误。
You have to use the correct grammar when you're answering a question.
在答题的时候一定要使用正确的语法。
So, for example, sometimes maybe the answer is: "castles" with an "s", but a student might write the singular version in their answer, maybe they just write: "castle", but the correct form would be with an "s".
比如，有时候也许答案是" castles"，有个复数词尾" s" ，但是学生可能会在答案中写出单数形式，他们可能会写" castle"，可是正确答案是有" s"的。
So you always have to be aware of grammar.
所以一定要时常注意语法。
The best thing to do is after you write your answer, check it to see if the grammar makes sense.
最好的方法就是在写完之后检查一下答案，看看从语法上是不是说得通。
Were they looking for singular answer? Were they looking for a plural answer? Okay? So that's very important to keep an eye out for.
看看题目需要的是单数形式的答案，还是复数形式的答案？这一点非常值得注意。
Finally, my last... my last tip for today is: a lot of students don't read the instructions properly.
最后，今天我要说的最后一个诀窍就是：很多学生都不仔细看题目要求。
This is a very, very big mistake to make. A lot of students, they've done lots and lots of IELTS tests and they think they know it, so they don't bother reading the instructions.
这种行为大错特错。很多学生已经参加过很多次雅思考试了，所以他们以为自己都懂，就懒得看题目要求了。
Always read the instructions.
请一定要仔细阅读题目要求。
Even if you've done a hundred IELTS tests, read the instructions just to make sure.
即使你们已经参加过一百次雅思考试了，也要看看题目要求以防万一。
