Now, sadly, a lot of my students tell me that the writing is not the hard part, that the English is not the hard part.
很遗憾的是，我的很多学生都说写作不难，英语也不难。
What do they have a problem with in task two? Ideas. They don't know what to say.
他们在任务二遇到的最大的麻烦是什么呢？想法。他们不知道要写些什么。
They don't think about some of these questions. They've never considered these things, so they don't know what to say, even in the planning stage, they're just like sitting there blank.
他们没有思考过这些题目，从没考虑过这些事情，所以他们不知道要写些什么，即使在写大纲的阶段，他们也只是坐在那儿，大脑一片空白。
Here's an idea. Again, be ready before test day.
我给你们出个主意。还是一样，在考试之前就要做好准备。
When you go into the test, you have an idea bank in your head.
当你们进入考场的时候，脑子里应该已经有个想法库了。
These are very common topics that you will see on the IELTS test or the TOEFL test as well: technology, education, travel, environment. Okay?
下面是你们在雅思考试或者托福考试中会经常见到的一些话题：技术、教育、旅行和环境。
Make up questions for these, find universal examples, for example, technology, internet, you can use the internet to answer almost any question about technology. Okay?
以这些话题为基础，自己构思一些问题，找出一些通用的例子，比如技术和网络，你们可以以网络为例回答几乎任何关于技术的问题。
Apple. Apple is a specific real-world example, you can use it, Microsoft, you can use it to talk about many, many things. Okay?
比如苹果，苹果公司就是一个具体的现实生活中的例子，你们可以用上它，比如微软公司，你们可以用它来谈论很多很多事情。
Education, university, high school, travelling overseas, learning at home. All these things.
在教育方面可以用大学、高中、出国旅行、在家学习等例子，所有这些都可以用。
Have your ideas ready before the test. Don't try to think of them during the test. Big waste of time.
在考试之前就要准备好你们的想法，不要在考试期间才想该写什么，太浪费时间了。
Travel, environment. Okay? Lots of ideas. Get yourself examples, worry about examples, don't worry about reasons, don't worry about what the question will be.
像旅行啊，环境啊，有很多想法。多找一些例子，多考虑要用什么例子，不要考虑为什么，不要考虑会出什么题目。
Just think of technological examples that you can use for many types of questions.
你们只要想到可以用来回答不同类型问题的技术性例子就可以了。
Of course, practice. Get yourself a list of questions that you can practice, but have your examples already in your head. Okay?
当然啦，还要勤加练习。你们可以给自己列出一个可以用来练习的题目清单，但是在练习之前就要在脑子里想好例子。
Okay, I'll give you an example of an example that you can use. President Obama could be used for any of these.
我来给你们举个可以用的例子的例子。你们可以把奥巴马总统用在任何题目中。
Why? Because he's a person, he's the President of the United States. That's a big, powerful country.
为什么？因为他是一个人，他是美国总统，美国是个强大的国家。
America is the leader in technology, for example.
比如，美国在技术方面处于领先地位。
Education, American... America has one of the... Some of the best schools, Obama is the President of America, you can use him for almost anything, travel, environment, Obama's from Hawaii.
教育，美国有一些世界上最好的学校，奥巴马是美国总统，你们可以把他用在几乎任何话题中，旅行，环境都可以，比如，奥巴马来自夏威夷。
There you go. He's trying to save the environment, like...
这不就出来了嘛。他正在试图拯救环境，像......
Anyway, get your ideas ready before you go into the test, so, when you go there, you plan because you already have the ideas, you write, you check. Okay?
不管怎样，你们一定要在进考场之前准备好想，所以，你们进入考场之后就可以列大纲了，因为你们已经想好了，然后写文章，检查。
Very straightforward stuff. I will actually have, again, lessons on more of these items for you in the future.
非常直接的事情。事实上，以后我还会开几节课来多讲一点这些话题的。
