Number seven: prediction, very important on the IELTS.
第七点：预测，这一点在雅思考试中也很重要。
During the listening, at the end of each section, you have some time to check your answers and to read the questions that are coming up.
在听力考试期间，每个小节结束后，你们都有一些时间可以检查答案和阅读下面的题目。
Very important that you look ahead.
提前看题目内容非常重要。
Okay? Any time you have a chance to stop and to... to read ahead on the IELTS, the... the listening part, it's very important to do this.
无论什么时候你们有机会可以停顿一下，可以提前阅读雅思考试......听力部分的话，做到这一点非常重要。
The reason is you can make a guess, you can predict... it's not exactly a guess,
这么做的理由是，这样你们就能猜一下，进行一下预测......说猜不太准确，
but you can predict what an answer is going to be, and your chance of getting that answer right is going to go up.
不过你们可以预测一下答案可能是什么，这样你们听到正确答案的几率就会增加。
So, for example, maybe this is one of the questions: "The woman will travel on '''_."
举个例子来说，也许这是其中一个问题："The woman will travel on '''_."（这位女士将乘__旅行）
Okay, so I'm going to have to listen to the CD.
然后我要听CD里的录音。
Now, what I can do is in pencil, I can just write in what I think it's going to be.
我现在能做的就是，用铅笔写下我觉得可能的答案。
Well, I see the word: "travel", "travel on", so maybe she's travelling on a bus, or maybe a plane.
我看见了"travel"这个单词，题干有"travel on"，那么也许她将乘公共汽车旅行，或者可能是飞机。
Okay. Think of some... some thing she might be travelling on.
想一些她也许会乘坐的交通工具。
And then you can just write quickly what your prediction is.
然后你们就可以直接迅速写下你们预测的答案。
And then, when they actually play the... the tape, listen, see if your prediction was correct, it's not, you can just write in the correct answer.
接下来，当他们真正播放录音的时候，你们就可以看看自己的预测正不正确，如果不正确的话，就直接把正确的答案写下来。
But you'll have a good chance of getting the answer right.
不过这样做你们能写出正确答案的机会就更大。
The listening goes very quickly so it's very good to do this prediction so you can prepare yourself.
录音的播放速度很快，所以做预测是很有用的，它能帮助你们做好准备。
Know what they're looking for.
请弄清楚自己该找什么信息。
Okay. Prediction, very important.
好了，要做预测，这一点很重要。
Now, let's learn some other tips to succeed on this part of the test.
现在我们继续学习一些，能帮你们在考试的这一部分取得成功的其他技巧。
Okay, my next tip is about predicting again.
我的下一个技巧还是关于预测的。
But if you can't predict the word - maybe there's not enough information - at least you can predict if they're looking for a noun, adjective, adverb, or verb.
但是如果你们无法预测出这个单词的话，也许试卷上信息不足，至少你们可以预测他们要找的是一个名词、形容词、副词还是动词。
Okay. So what's an example of this?
关于这一点有什么例子呢？
I come over here. For the fill in the blank questions, maybe it will say something like: "She has three '''_." Blank.
我到这边来。在填空题中，也许会有像这样的一道题： "She has three '''_." （她有三个__）
She has three, what? I have no idea; she could have three of anything.
她有三个......什么？我不知道，她可以有三个任何东西。
Well, what I do know is this is going to be... What is it going to be?
但我明确知道的是，这会是个......你们知道它会是个什么吗？
Is it going to be a verb? No. Adjective? No.
它会是个动词吗？不是。形容词？也不是。
It's going to be a noun.
它会是个名词。
Keyword: "She has", there's already a verb here, I know it's going to be a noun.
请看关键词："She has"，这里已经有一个动词了，所以我知道它会是个名词。
So that can help.
知道了这一点也是有用的。
