Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today, I have a bit of a special lesson for you. We're going to look at the IELTS test.
大家好，欢迎回到engvid.com。我是Adam。今天，我给大家准备了一个有点特别的课程。我们今天要来看看雅思考试。
Now, before I begin, I have to tell you that I will be speaking a little bit faster than usual because this is for IELTS test-takers.
在开始之前，我要提醒你们的是，这次我的讲话速度会比平常快一点，因为这节课是为考雅思的朋友们准备的。
You need to get used to faster speed English, more natural speed English.
你们需要习惯速度更快、更自然的英语。
But for everybody else, keep watching. It's still a good practice, still lots of vocabulary to learn, lots of things to learn.
至于不考雅思的朋友，你们也可以继续观看，因为这也是一次很好的练习机会，还是能学到很多词汇和知识的。
So, more specifically, we're going to be looking at IELTS time management.
具体来说，我们这节课要学的是在雅思考试时做好时间规划。
Now, many people tell me... I've had many students come and tell me the biggest problem they had taking the IELTS test was that they ran out of time.
很多人说......我的很多学生都跑来告诉我，说他们在考雅思的时候，遇到的最大的问题就是时间不够用。
They didn't know how to manage their time, and that's why they lost a lot of points. Okay?
他们不知道要如何规划时间，而这也正是他们丢了很多分的原因。
So, today, I'm going to help you fix that a little bit. There's lots to talk about. Let's get started.
所以今天我就要帮你们解决这个问题。有很多东西要讲，所以我们开始吧。
Two things we have to worry about: mind and body. Okay?
有两件事情需要注意：思维和身体。
First, let's talk about the body.
首先，我们来讲讲身体。
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they go to take the test on test day is they're exhausted.
人们当天去考试的时候会犯的最大的错误之一就是，他们都累坏了。
They're just not mentally ready to take the test.
他们精神上还没准备好参加考试。
It's a long test, it's a difficult test, and it's a test in English; not your native tongue. Obviously, right?
这个考试持续时间很长，难度系数较高，还是全英文的，显然不是各位的母语，对吧？
So, what do you do? Very, very important. The night before... The night before the test, don't study.
那么，你们该怎么做呢？这一点非常非常重要，考试前一晚不要学习。
If you don't know it then, you won't know it the next day.
如果你们到了那会儿还不知道要怎么做题，第二天也还是不会的。
So, the night before the test, go to sleep early, get a full eight hours of solid sleep, wake up early, do whatever you need to do in the morning, go to the test center relaxed. Okay?
所以，考试前一晚请早点上床睡觉，踏踏实实睡上八个小时，第二天上午早点起床，该干嘛干嘛，然后轻轻松松地去考试中心，好吗？
Very, very important. You need as much brain power as you can get on test day.
这一点非常非常重要，因为你们考试当天会需要消耗很多脑力。
Speaking of waking up in the morning on test day, make sure that you eat properly. Don't go to the test hungry.
说到考试当天早起的问题，请你们一定要好好吃早餐，不要空着肚子去考试。
Your stomach does a lot of your thinking for you when you're not prepared.
当你们准备不充分的时候，你们的胃会帮你们进行很多思考活动。
If you're hungry, you're thinking about your stomach; not about the English. Okay?
如果你们考试时觉得饿了，那你们满脑子想的都会是你们的胃，而不是英语。
Eat. Eat properly, carbohydrates, proteins, avoid coffee and sugar, but if you have to have a coffee in the morning to wake up, like I do, have it at least an hour, an hour and a half, two hours before the test.
一定要吃饭，好好吃饭。摄入一些碳水化合物和蛋白质，尽量避免咖啡和糖，不过如果你们和我一样，必须得喝一杯咖啡才能清醒过来的话，请至少在考试之前一个小时、一个半小时或者两个小时内喝完。
Don't go into the test room with a cup of a coffee in your hand, well, you can't anyway, but don't go into the test center with a cup of coffee in your hand. Get it all out of the way early.
不要拿着一杯咖啡进考场，当然啦，这样人家也不会让你们进考场的，但是，就算进入考试中心也不要拿着咖啡，早点把它喝完。
