Even if right now you think that your English is, like, really good and you're going to get a really high score in the IELTS listening because you're good at listening.
即使现在你觉得自己的英语非常好，觉得自己在雅思考试的听力部分会拿到一个很高的分数，因为你认为自己很擅长听力。
It may be true that you are a really good speaker of English and you understand a lot,
也许你确实英语说得很好，懂很多英语知识，
but if you haven't practiced any of the IELTS tests, you might not get a good score, because you haven't learned the exam technique, and you're not familiar with those tests.
但是如果你没有练过任何雅思考试的试题，你可能拿不到一个很好的分数，因为你没有学过考试技巧，对那些试题不熟悉。
So rule number one: Practice makes perfect.
所以第一点：熟能生巧。
Also in these tests, you really need to spell carefully, because if you make a spelling mistake, you don't get the mark.
还有，在这些考试中，你们拼写单词的时候要非常小心，因为如果你们出现了拼写错误是得不到分的。
So, try your best to spell things correctly.
所以请尽力正确拼写单词。
And especially in questions where they are spelling something to you, make sure you don't lose an easy point for writing down the wrong letter.
尤其是在那些他们拼写什么给你听的题目里，确保你们不会因为写下了错误的字母而失去这么容易的得分点。
Which brings us to this one: Learn the pronunciation of letters.
这就带我们来到了这一点：学会字母的发音。
So, just do a little bit of revision, go back over how to say the letters in British English, because the IELTS test is mainly in British accent.
所以稍微复习一下，回顾一下英式英语中是如何读那些字母的，因为雅思考试主要是英式口音。
So make sure you know how we say our letters here.
所以请确保你们知道我们英国人是怎么读这些字母的。
But it would also be quite handy for you to practice the letters in American English and Australian English,
但是你们练习一下美式英语和澳洲英语的字母发音也会很有用，
because these will also be covered in the...in the test, you'll get these different accents.
因为这些也会出现在......考试中，会有这些不同的口音。
So there's a tip for you.
这是一个技巧。
Going back to this one: when you're doing the test, in between the different parts of the exam (there are four parts) , you get a little bit of reading time.
我们回到这一点：当你们在考试的时候，试题的不同部分之间（总共有四个部分），会有一点阅读材料的时间。
When you get this reading time, what you should be doing is reading the questions that you're about to answer.
到了这个阅读时间的时候，你们应该做的是阅读将要作答的题目。
Not checking the answers that you wrote before.
而不是检查你们之前写下的答案。
See, a lot of people will just be looking back at what they've already done, but when they do that, they're not preparing for the next questions.
是这样的，很多人会回头看看他们已经做完的题，但是这么做的话，他们就不能为下面的题目做准备了。
So you really need to make the most of that time, and make sure that you've read what's coming.
所以你们真的需要充分利用那段时间，并且确保自己读过了接下来要回答的内容。
