Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video, we are going to be looking at the IELTS, that scary test a lot of you have to do.
大家好，我是Emma，在今天这个视频里，我们要来看看雅思考试，这个你们很多人都要参加的可怕的考试。
We're going to look at, specifically, one type of reading question for the academic reading.
具体来说，我们要看的是学术类雅思阅读部分的一种题型。
So this isn't for the general; it's for the academic reading.
所以这个视频里讲的内容针对的只是学术类阅读，并不是广泛适用的。
We're going to talk about the question that has to do with "true, false, or not given".
我们要讨论的是和“正确，错误，文章中没有提到”这类问题相关的内容。
So this is a specific question.
所以我们针对的是一个具体的题型。
It may or may not be on your test, but I think, personally, this is one of the most difficult questions on the reading section of the IELTS.
你们的试卷上可能有，也可能没有这种题型，但是我个人认为，这是雅思考试的阅读部分最难的题型之一。
So I'm going to give you some tips and strategies on how to do well on this section. Okay, so let's get started.
所以我今天要教你们几个小技巧和策略来搞定这一部分。那我们开始吧。
In this section, what you are going to find is a reading passage.
在这一部分，你们将会看到一篇阅读材料。
So you will have a long passage on maybe cybercrime, maybe food security, on the history of the Internet -- it can be on anything.
你们会看到一篇很长的文章，内容也许是网络犯罪，也许是食品安全，也有可能是因特网的历史......任何题材都有可能。
After the passage, there will be some statements, some facts, okay?
在文章后面会有几个陈述句，一些事实。
What you need to do is you need to say if the fact matches -- if it's true based on the reading, if it's false based on the reading, or if the information is not given in the reading.
你们要做的就是，你们要判断这些事实是否符合......根据文章内容来看，它们是正确的，还是错误的，抑或是文章中没有提到的。
So I will explain "true", "false", "not given" in detail in just a minute.
我会用几分钟的时间给你们详细解释一下“正确”、“错误”和“文章中没有提到”究竟是什么概念。
Okay. What else to know about the "true, false, or not given"?
关于“正确、错误、文章中没有提到“还有什么其他的需要了解的事情呢？
Another important thing about this question is we're not talking about the question that has to do with the writer's opinion.
关于这个题型的另一件重要的事情就是，我们在这类题型中要考虑的跟作者的观点没有任何关系。
There's a very similar question on the IELTS that asks about the writer's opinion.
雅思考试中还有一个跟这类题非常相似的题型，这类题考察的才是作者的观点。
That's the "yes, no, not given". This is only on "true, false, not given", not "yes, no, not given".
那是“是、否、文章中没有提到”这一题型。我们今天讨论的只是“正确、错误、文章中没有提到”，而不是“是、否、文章中没有提到”。
Just -- hopefully, that will clear up any confusion.
希望我这么说能让你们不再把这两种题型弄混。
