Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's lesson, I am going to teach you my top tips for the IELTS listening module. Okay?
大家好，我是Emma，在今天的课上，我要教你们一些我专门为雅思考试听力部分准备的顶级技巧。
So, before I teach you these tips, you might be wondering: "What's the IELTS listening module?"
在我教你们这些技巧之前，你们可能会想知道：“雅思考试听力部分是什么？”
Well, the IELTS is a test and one part of the test is listening.
雅思是一种考试，而这种考试的其中一部分就是听力。
So, in the listening section, you're going to have 40 questions where you're going to listen to some conversations for about 30 minutes,
在听力部分将会有40道题，你们将会听到几段总长为30分钟左右的对话，
and then you'll have 10 minutes to transfer your answers over to another sheet.
然后你们会有10分钟的时间把答案誊写到答题卡上。
So, in total, it's 40 minutes; 30 minutes for listening, 10 minutes for writing down your answers.
所以，听力部分总时长为40分钟，30分钟用来听录音，10分钟用来写下答案。
Okay, now this part of the IELTS is very possible to get a high mark, especially if you follow my tips. All right?
雅思考试的这一部分是很有可能得到高分的，尤其是你们按照我的技巧来答题的话。
Now, before we get started, I just want to let you know: I know you can do the IELTS.
正式开始之前，我只是想告诉你们：我知道你们能搞定雅思。
I know you can pass, I know you can get a great mark, a great bandwidth - you just have to have confidence in yourself and you have to practice.
我知道你们能通过，能取得很棒的成绩，一个很棒的分数，你们只要相信自己并且多加练习就可以了。
Practice, practice, practice; it really pays off. So let's get started.
一定要练习，练习再练习！多加练习真的是有效果的。那么我们就开始吧。
So, my first tip: write no more than three words.
我的第一个技巧：答案不要超过三个单词。
What do I mean by this?
什么意思呢？
I don't mean for the whole thing, write no more than three words.
我指的并不是整张试卷，不是所有的题目都不要写超过三个单词。
On the IELTS, you will have to read the instruction of what to do.
参加雅思考试的时候，你们一定要阅读考试说明，弄清楚要如何答题。
Often times, the instruction, before you listen, you're going to see: "Write no more than three words."
很多时候，在播放录音之前，你们会在考试说明中看到：“答案不要超过三个单词”的字样。
This is an example of an instruction you must follow.
这是考试说明中一个你们必须遵守的例子。
One mistake a lot of students make during the IELTS is they don't read instructions properly.
很多学生参加雅思考试期间经常会犯的一个错误是，他们没有好好阅读考试说明。
They're nervous, they're stressed out, they write whatever, they don't... they don't follow the instructions.
他们很紧张，压力非常大，写了什么且不论，但是他们并没有按照考试说明的要求答题。
If you see something like: "Write no more than three words." Do that.
如果你们看见像“答案不要超过三个单词”之类的要求，请一定要遵守。
You can't write four, don't write five. Write three or less. Okay?
你们不能写四个单词，也不要写五个，只能写三个或以下的单词，知道了吗？
So my main point here: follow the instructions carefully.
所以这一点的主要内容就是：认真按照考试说明答题。
