雅思阅读基本技巧谈



　　众所周知，雅思考试与其他英文考试不同。其不同之处不仅仅在于听说读写全面考察的考试模式，多种多样的试题类型，更在于出题者的出题思路和考察目的跟广大烤鸭们早已习惯的中式英文考试截然不同。正是这些不同，导致了很多中国烤鸭屡屡败走麦城。因为在接受了多年的有中国特色的英文教育和考试后，我们大多习惯了“无孔不入”型试题。出题者们绞尽脑汁，竭尽全力挖掘各个犄角旮旯的小细节，不“烤糊”一片誓不罢休；考生们积极捧场，本着“宁可错杀一千，不能放过一个”的指导方针，决不放过任何细节。（这种情况在阅读部分尤其突出）在这种考试思想的指导下，中国学生都有一种通病，就是及其注重所看到细节，越是看上去没什么大用的信息，越感兴趣。用这种阅读习惯来做雅思阅读，是中国烤鸭的致命伤。

　　大家都知道，雅思阅读基本技巧就是抓住关键词回文章去定位。

　　基本程序就是：

　　1. 在题干中挑出关键词

　　2. 考虑文中可能出现的同义词或者近义词 （paraphrase）

　　3. 快速回文章找到相关段落，精读key word附近的一句或几句话

　　4. 根据文意做题目

　　以中国学生中学所接受的高强度的语法及词汇教育来说，step2 的paraphrase过程实在是a piece of cake。 关键在于key word。到底什么词才是key word。 很多习惯考大学英语四六级的人，会发现自己总是不自觉的就把目光投向一些小词，如形容词或频率副词上面。

　　建议大家在着手准备雅思阅读的时候，先练习一下如何审题。因为分析题干是做雅思阅读非常重要的第一步。带着问题，有的放矢的去看文章才是最经济实惠的方法。用铅笔划出关键词。关键词绝大多数应该是实义的名词，数词，专有名词，学术名词等不太容易被替换的词汇。而我们往往会发现，很多小词上都被我们划了着重号。

　　埋头做题，一心一意做题之前，先调整自己的思维习惯，去适应雅思出题的思路，把自己的思路调整到雅思的频道上来，是阅读部分取得满意成绩的第一步。

雅思DIY技巧谈



　　偶的成绩为L7, R8, W6, S6, Overall 7。复习考试的过程中积累了一些经验，贴一下，希望对备考的考生有所帮助，也算对我这次雅斯的一次总结。

　　【听力】


　　为了了解考试题型，一开始就用《How to prepare fot IELTS》做了一套模拟题，结果备受打击，对了不到20个。其实不是听不懂，主要是对雅思的题型不熟悉。做题方式还像托福那样，听完了一段，了解了大意再写答案。结果那些细节题根本没法做。然后反思了一下，把《How to prepare for IELTS》中的听力解题指导看掉，接着就开始做北语《IELTS考试技能训练教程·听力》，这套书确实不错，扎扎实实提高你的听力水平，使你对听力的各种题型都有个比较好的把握。这套题一直做到考试前一周，没做完，只是选择性地做了每种题型的一部分。到最后错误一直在10个左右。然后开始做剑桥的测试题，做了三套，感觉比北语的要简单，最少时错了三个。听力材料的难度差不多，关键是题目简单。北语的题答案普遍偏长，而且有的答案词汇比较偏。而真正的雅思考试的听力答案很少有超过3个词的。所以有了北语扎实的听力训练，做真正的雅斯题还是比较顺手的。

　　听力关键要点：听之前一定要先看题目，这一点至关重要。所以平时要多多练习快速浏览题目的能力。这是拿高分的重要技巧

　　【阅读】

　　阅读没有什么灵丹妙药，只有平时多多练习。阅读方法合技巧参考的是《建宏系列》的阅读分册，讲的比较系统，条理清晰。练习用北语的《IELTS考试技能训练教程·阅读》，比雅思真题略难，文章比真题略长，是很好的练习材料。到最后想做一下新东方的阅读，做了一套，马上扔掉，文章短，题目简单，没有任何练习价值。光做练习还不够，平时也要多做一些泛读，看科技类文www.newscientist.com www.scientificamerican.com，看人文、历史、经济www.economist.com，这些网站上面的文章和雅斯阅读真题的文章类型及其类似，很多句式和语言都很相似，如果对这些句式和文体格式熟悉的话对于提高阅读速度是很有帮助的。

　　值的一提的是做题方式，很多参考书包括国内国外的都建议对文章快速扫描，然后看题，最后回原文定位找答案。我通过练习发现这种方式对我不是很有效，主要弊端是快速扫描对原文印象不深，导致回原文定位时还得重新仔细阅读，定位时间过长。要知道雅斯阅读考得都是细节题，仔细阅读还是非常必要的。我通过做练习总结了一种自己的做题方式，实践证明还是非常有效的，步骤如下：

　　1：先看题目。所有题目都要看，而且最好看得仔细点，争取对答案中的关键词有所印象。

　　2：看文章，仔细看，一段一段看。看的过程中你会发现有些内容和题目有关，这时马上回去把这个题目做掉。然后继续看文章。

　　一般来讲，看完文章的四分之一就要回题目去看看。看看你刚刚看过的这部分文章有没有包含题目的答案，能不能做掉一些题目

　　这样做有两点好处：

　　1：减少了重复阅读和回原文定位的时间，基本上看一遍文章就可以把题目都做掉，如果有个别拿不准的题目才需要看第二遍。而且看过四分之一文章之后就去做题，由于阅读量较少，所以对所读的信息有比较好的短期记忆，这对做题是很有帮助的。如果按照老方法，先快速扫描，然后做题，做题的时候你会隐约记得这道题的答案好像在什么地方出现过，但是很难记得具体在哪一段，你不得不重新对文章进行扫描。而且扫描全文的阅读量很大，你的短期记忆很难记清楚这么多内容。这种老方法的致命缺点是会导致对文章的多次扫描，扫描是最费时间的。

　　2：减少无效阅读时间，有时候你会发现在还没读完全文的时候，你的题目已经做完了。那么剩下的文章就不用读了。爽吧。

　　关于True、false、NG

　　这种题目比较棘手，我的原则是这样，原文有明显论据支持的为true,有明显论据反对的为false，即找不出支持论据也找不出反对论据或者原文没有提到或者你拿不准的一律NG。这个规则还有待检验

　　阅读关键要点：练习，总结错误，泛读，我推荐的做题方式。闲的时候背背单词。6.5不成问题。

　　【写作】

　　写作刚及格，没什么好说的。我看了《建宏系列》的写作分册，很有帮助。考前总结了一个五段论模板，一个对称式模版。考试前一天晚上大作文，小作文各写了一篇当练习，然后就去考试了。6分算是完成目标

　　【口语】

　　口语我根本就没准备，原本打算考完作文后和考官说说，把口语安排在转天上午，我好用下午和晚上的时间准备一下，结果考场Supervisor坚决不同意，没半法，只有下午2:30准时参加考试了。中午看了看无忧雅思上总结的口语题目，想了想思路就去了。考官是老太太，一见面就职业性的微笑，真虚伪。CueCard上的题目我中午刚刚看过，也就胡说了一气。考完后我说句\"have a nice day\"就走了，等大半个身子都出了门才听见老太太说\"byebye\"，我也没理，直接走了。出来就有些担心是不是太没礼貌了?还好给我6分，没拖我后腿。谢谢老太太。

　　【考场】

　　我在广州考的，考场不错，无线耳机。考官MM很养眼。在广州报名也很轻松，邮寄汇款就可以了，都不用本人亲自去。

　　【推荐备考资料】

　　综合：《How to prepare for IELTS》、剑桥套装

　　听力： 北语《IELTS考试技能训练教程·听力》

　　阅读：《建宏系列》阅读分册、北语《IELTS考试技能训练教程·阅读》

　　写作：《建宏系列》写作分册，

　　口语： 无忧雅思网的口语机经

　　泛读资料

　　www.newscientist.com

　　www.scientificamerican.com

　　www.economist.com

　　机经看看写作和口语就行了，听力看看也无妨，阅读就不要看了，没用。

　　机经用无忧雅思网的免费版本就足够了。我还买了一分100test的A类会员的资料，和免费的没什么区别，白花170大洋，而且那个网站技术做的比较差，不推荐100test。

　　对于不参加辅导班自己DIY复习的同志，光做练习是不够的，一点要有一定的理论指导。这里极力推荐《建宏系列》，阅读和写作分册非常好，对做题起了很大的指导作用。弥补了北语系列缺少解题指导的缺陷。期待《建宏系列》的听力分册。

　　最后祝朋友们都能拿到理想的成绩！

雅思口语关于movie话题的一些素材




　　在准备口语题目时要想做到说的得体、切题，一个很好的办法是看一下native speakers是怎么谈论同样话题的，然后从中学习一些表达方式和词汇。

　　下面这篇文章是关于电影的，不知道大家是否能从里面得到一些小启发。


　　What movies will become classics in 50 Years?

　　The Bottom Line Which movies of the 90s will film students be talking about in 2050? This list consists of my choices of movies that should become classics in the future.

　　The problem with the 1990s is that those years are still fresh in our memory and times haven\'t changed that much. The 00s of today are almost interchangeable with the last decade. It is still too early to tell what movies will become classics and what movies will become dated. Most of the big stars of the 90s arrived through smaller movies of the 1980s. The biggest stars of the next decade probably started in the 90s and their initial movies, now overlooked, may become future classics.

　　All of the movies on my list are included because I enjoyed the direction, acting, writing or cinematography more than other movies released during the period. This list will likely change over time far more than my top ten movies of other decades. For instance, \"Casablanca\" has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years. It has aged well and will continue to age well. Humphrey Bogart and Ingred Bergman went on to make more great movies which only made \"Casablanca\" more endearing. Other attempts at the same genre have not tarnished the merits of the 50+ year old movie. The movies that I have seen since have not displaced it as my favorite whereas, I may feel different about any of these movies two years from now. It takes time for a movie to be earn the label \"timeless.\"

　　These movies may be timeless but we will have to wait for another couple of decades for a proper evaluation.

　　10. Dances With Wolves (1990)

　　There are very few good civil war films and the beginning for \"Dances With Wolves\" is stunning as it is set during a wonderfully filmed battle. There were also very few good westerns made during the previous two decades, but this film was able to break the trend and deliver a compelling historical drama about life with the Sioux Indians. the buffalo hunt is spectacular and demonstrates the vastness and beauty of the country.

　　9. Three Colors Blue, White, Red (1994)

　　The three colors of the French flag are made into three different movies. Other than a short one minute period, the films do not interrelate other than each uses an assigned color throughout the film. The \"Blue\" movie is heavy, the \"White\" movie colorless and the \"Red\" movie alive. Other movies have used color for effectiveness, but a movie titled with a color has to pass more scrutiny. The artistic quality in all three films made the viewing an enjoyable experience.

　　8. Home Alone (1990)

　　Another genre that had been unsuccessful for years was the slapstick comedy. This story about a little boy protecting his home from bumbling crooks had all of the right ingredients; good vs. bad, youth vs. age, and brain vs. brawn. The Rube Goldberg like contraptions coupled with the comedic talents of Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci provide an entertainment that had almost become a lost art form.

　　7. Shakespeare in Love (1998)

　　This movie would get my vote for the best dialogue of the decade. It may have been the best dialogue since \"All about Eve.\" A film about the greatest playwright in history would receive some brilliance just from the subject matter. But brilliance also shines through with screenwriting, set design, costumes and direction. Although homage is paid to the Bard in style and content, I actually liked the movie more than most of his plays.

　　6. Braveheart (1995)

　　\"Dances with Wolves\" was an epic western that worked for actor turned director Kevin Costner. In similar ways, \"Braveheart\" works the same for Mel Gibson. In both cases, the leading actor, although powerfully played, is secondary to the cinematography, the historical crisis and the compelling story. Some movies are meant for the big screen because of their immenseness and grandeur. \"Braveheart\" fills up the theater.

　　5. Toy Story (1995)

　　Disney began making quality family shows again in the 1980s. A quality family show is one where the parents can enjoy it as much as the kids. \"Toy Story\" took it one step further and added state of the art technology to provide a wonderful Disney story. We all have wondered if our toys came alive, but we never knew that there would be so much team work.

　　4. Hoop Dreams (1994)

　　Every basketball star had a childhood that is in the background somewhere. \"Hoop Dreams\" looks at the story another way by focusing on the child and their development into a star. The movie was 4 1/2 years in the making and chronicles in real life, the rising athletes. It is fascinating to watch the players grow up and work through family and school challenges. Supposedly 250 hours of film was shot and edited to 3 hours where the viewer becomes a neighbor, classmate and spectator through the movie.

　　3. Saving Private Ryan (1998)

　　The battle scenes are vivid and extraordinary but the most riveting part of the movie is the story behind the mission to save Ryan. Tom Hanks plays the leader of a group of soldiers, all of whom were peaceful private citizens before the war. Duty and honor are emphasized as the soldiers perform their warrior responsibilities as trained. The humanity of the individual being is illuminated against the inhumanity of war.

　　2. Forrest Gump (1994)

　　I may be biased regarding this film because I grew up in a small town during about the same time period. This is a modern day fairy tale demonstrating that love, dignity and perseverance conquer all. \"Forrest Gump\' runs the viewer through the entire spectrum of emotions as it tells the story of a slow thinking innocent kid traversing through five decades of life.

　　1. Schindler\'s List (1993)

　　It may have taken until the 1990s to be able to showcase a movie about the holocaust. Shot in black and white, which provides a newsreel documentary feel for the film, the movie takes us into the life of Oscar Schindler and the lives that he saved. The horror of the film is that the events depicted actually happened. The beauty of the film is represented by the triumph over adversity that is so well illustrated through the lens of the camera.

雅思阅读考试“三步曲”  



　　雅思的阅读和听力一样，要求考生合理掌握做题的节奏，我们称之为“解题三步曲”：

　　第一步，快速浏览全文。考生最好用1—2分钟大致浏览全文，以便掌握文章的结构。这一步骤虽短，但却是训练及解题过程中的重点。文章的篇章结构模式可以帮助考生更好地理解内容，并
理顺句子或段落间的关系，以便在做题过程中有重点的跳读。例如：在Cause-Effect中，浏览重心应放在Effect上；而在Comparison/Contrast/Concession中，考生应把注意力放在某个转折点之后的内容；而见到属于Addition/Defining/Explanation／ Description的部分，则可以直接跳过去。这种方式能大大降低文章的阅读量。

　　第二步，解析题目。首先，无论遇到哪种题型，考生都应尽可能地找出一些关键词，以便迅速定出答案可能所在的区域。其次，考生应对各种题型有较深入的理解。尤其是每种题型的应对方法。拿Matching的题来讲，在General Reading和Academic Reading中就不一样，一个是Matching of Information，另一个是Matching of Paragraph Headings，两种题型的做法不一样，在前者，考生应将注意力集中在题中，将每个问题的核心词标出来，然后根据这些核心词去文中找相应的信息。在后者，考生的注意力应放在归纳文章上，在进行核心词分类后，就要对文章的结构和每段的重心进行归纳与分析，找出各段的主题词，然后在段落的首句中找出相应信息。

　　第三步，注意词形变化。考生一定要特别注意词形变化、同(近)义词或是相关词，因为题目中出现的词不一定和文章中出现的词一模一样。考生在平时训练中尤其要培养这方面的敏感度。核心词尽量以信号词为主，其次才是关键词，这一找信息的方法尤其适用于雅思阅读考试中的“Gap-filling、Table／Graph Filling、Sentence Completion、Short Answer Question、True／False以及Multiple Choice题目。

雅思7分感想与复习细节提示




　　从我第一次认识雅思到考试，正好半年时间。在这半年时间里，高效率的准备和不错的基础是我烤鸭成功的关键。在这半年时间里，看着各位烤鸭前辈的帖子，收获不少。做了半年的潜水员，也该跟大家分享一下成功的喜悦了。

　　我是8月21号武汉考的，听力8，阅读7，写作口语6。总7，不说满不满意，申请学校足以，也就知足了。下面说说我的一些感想吧。

　　从2月到5月，找朋友要了一套n老的北语黑眼睛自己做，听。黑眼睛体型不规范，应试不强，不过学英语嘛，只要是在学，总是可以有进步的。所以有些朋友有Listen to this等听力材料的，完全可以当作雅思复习材料。不过到了考前一至两个月，一定要开始用雅思的模拟题了。　　

　　从5月开始，我报了一个环球雅思的6.5高分班。总的来说，这个班不可不上，但是功效有限。觉得上了24堂课，觉得听完各部分得前3堂和最后一堂就可以了，精华就是那些技巧，掌握了自己联系，体会就行了。上课更多时一种心理安慰，觉得自己在准备雅思，没有花费时间而已。　　

　　这一个学期，基本上保持每周做一套听力或者一套阅读，再就是6月份每周末上课，应该算量相当少了。对于基础较差的同学，建议先背单词。被单词不要用专门的词汇手册，我的方法是做听力和阅读，把题目中所有的生词消灭掉，绝对没问题！！！

　　7月开始准备学校的期末考试，丢了半个月。考完一做题，狂差！阅读错了24个！！！可见一定复习一定不能停止。从8月1号到8月20号真正开始了全心全意地复习雅思。第一周是分项复习。把课堂笔记整理了一次，把里面的重点内容和容易忽视的内容画出来，几乎等于把笔记重抄了一次，虽然很累，但是非常有效果，基础打好了。这周做了两套题，全程模拟的，从听力到写作。第二周开始保证每天早上做一次模拟，下午对上午的题目查漏补缺，晚上再做点听力，阅读什么的。第三周最关键了。首先是调整心态。这时候多根朋友打电话聊聊天，放松心情非常重要。两天做一套题，千万不要做太难的题目（我用的是清华大学和悉尼科技大学和出的一套，叫做The New Prepare for IELTS，我在王府井买的，听力超级简单，阅读中等），一定要找回信心。这周周四留一套较难的，建议剑桥三，以告诉自己不要太轻敌。周五再做一套简单的，甚至听力可以找一套做过的做，总之分数高骗骗自己就好。　　

　　考试当天注意事项太多太多了，我赶重点的说吧。　　

　　早上起来一定不要喝水（我朋友建议从头天晚8点就不要喝），如果觉得口渴，喝点水在口里转转，再吐出来。　　

　　早餐这样吃：半口（不是半瓶）红牛加两片面包，进考场前再吃几块巧克力。一定要买好的巧克力，免得吃坏肚子。吃完巧克力一定在喝点水，吐掉！这样的早餐准备，既不会饿，也不会太饱，也不会上厕所，太完美了！　　

　　考试时8：40进场，千万不要一开门就跑进去。找个最好的朋友在考场门口陪你聊天，放松心情太重要了。等到8：30再进场，绝对来得急。你在里面多坐一分钟，就多紧张一些。放松的情况下，听听力才会好！我一个朋友英语专业，实力超强那种，就是因为太紧张，听力才6，其他全部7，多可惜啊！　　

　　考前最好找个考过的人，问问考试当天的细节，问得越多越好。　　

　　关于预测：不论实力如何，写作全部按照预测题目写，即使没有中，也无所谓。　　

　　关于机井：实力强的，看看生单词，熟悉背景，千万不要背！基础差的，可以背机井。我一个朋友靠背机井，听力7，其他全部6。　　

　　关于使用材料：如果报班了，班上发的够用，但一定准备几套超级简单的。　　

　　关于准备目标：想得七分，就要想办法提高阅读和听力，因为口语和写作得1分1分的提，太难。不过也要因人而异。

　　关于口语面试：我微笑了，我还说了很有新意的内容，我很连贯了，我没有再北京考，为什么还是只有6分？　　

　　关于考场：有人在网上骂武汉考场。其实，湖大的考场条件很不错，耳机效果非常非常好。而且那里的头带式耳机非常小巧，不会觉得压个大东东在头上，带眼镜也很舒服，放心吧！

五步攻克雅思考试学术类阅读理解



　　很多中国考生存在一个错误观点，认为雅思阅读部分是最简单的，从而忽视了阅读复习的重要性。待拿到成绩单，却发现阅读部分成绩最低。今天我将全面介绍雅思学术类阅读理解的准备及应试技巧。　　


　　一、雅思学术类阅读理解的准备步骤：　　

　　总体说来包括五个步骤：快速阅读、难句突破、词汇强记、模拟练习、总结技巧。

　　1、快速阅读：平时进行大量的快速阅读。可选的阅读材料有：TIME, NEWSWEEK, THE ECONOMIST, CHINADAILY, 21st CENTURY等。因为雅思考试与时代紧密相连，具有一定的时效性，所以报刊文章为泛读的首选。阅读报刊文章应选择一般性的题材，如科普，社会问题，学术观点性的文章，而政治，军事，尖端科技的文章可以略过。采取的阅读方式为快速阅读。　　

　　2、难句突破：在精读和做雅思试题时，将复杂的难句摘抄出来，然后分析句子结构，彻底消化难点。虽然雅思阅读中不可能有原句重现，但是难句的结构是基本不变的。　　

　　3、词汇强记：词汇量不够，应进行词汇突击。雅思考试的词汇量约为6000~8000词。词汇量小也是导致阅读理解速度慢的重要因素。　　

　　4、模拟练习：接下来就要做雅思模拟试题，进一步熟悉考试题型。熟练掌握阅读题型。有两点需要特别注意：首先，雅思阅读的各种题型必须搞熟，尤其是主观题如简答、填空、概括等。其次，要看清题目，因为雅思阅读的问法比较灵活，可以是对／错／未给出答案，所以先看清楚要你做什么，再下手不迟，切忌做“无用功”。　　

　　5、总结技巧：注意分析阅读理解的套路，总结解题技巧。如果个人复习情况不佳，可以根据自己的实际情况选择合适的辅导班。　　

　　二、全面的复习之后就要进入考场了。在考场中，考生们需要把握以下实战技巧以发挥最佳水平：　　

　　首先，考生们应该明确雅思考试是模仿现实生活的语言运用，所以雅思阅读遵循现实生活中的阅读习惯——检索信息。考生们应牢记雅思阅读的原则：不是为了阅读而阅读，而是为了做题而阅读。做题时，应该先看题目，然后带着问题去文中寻找、检索和定位信息，而不是力求看懂每一句话。做阅读题不能贪婪，迄今为止，雅思考试没有得满分的，所以大家要保持平和的心态。放弃一些题是完全正常的。切忌因为某一道题而造成更大的损失，考生们要充分意识到放弃的背后意味着什么。　　

　　其次，是在试卷上作记号。一方面做记号帮助集中注意力，不受外界干扰，尽快进入做题状态。另一方面，在看不懂的地方做记号，提高阅读速度。考生们阅读速度的一大障碍就是在难点处反复回视。实际上，一个句子回头看两遍还不至所云，就应在旁边打一个问号，跳过。如果问号的地方涉及考题，再回过头细读。IELTS与TOEFL不同，大家不仅可以在考卷上作记号，还要在平时训练中养成做记号的快速阅读习惯。　　

　　再次，考试时要把握好时间节奏。最好先把三篇文章迅速扫一遍，觉得哪一篇比较简单，则从那一篇入手。学术类阅读理解文章数量为3篇，时间是60分钟。应平均分配时间，即每篇20分钟，不要在某一篇文章上花太多的时间。　　

　　考生们只要把握住如何应付考试，明确生活中的阅读习惯，再综合实战技巧，是完全可以在阅读理解中取得理想的成绩的。

雅思高分复习完全攻略



　　备考雅思，除了自己一贯英文功底的积累外，要特别针对雅思考试的特点，进行系统的专项强化训练。

　　口试篇：


　　口试部分是一个标准的面试[interview]程序。是考生同面试官就各样常见话题的交谈。一般交谈时间为10-15分钟。大多数考生认为15分钟时间太长,担心没有足够的话可讲,其实,参加过口试的考生都发现15分钟的时间在真正的口试中会一晃而过,常觉得有意犹未尽的感觉。真正要做的不是如何打发掉这15分钟,而是如何在15分内,讲出更多的信息。

　　如何能讲出更多的信息,如何使你的表达听起来更专业,更地道,更符合西方国家的文化习惯，建议可以从听力材料中借力。听力材料是一系列校园/社会/科普场景话题的组合,其中包括大量的实况Interview。在作听力练习的时候,完全可以从听力中吸收口语部分所需的语言套路、文化背景套路,加之以演练,你的口语听起来就会显得洋味十足,而非自己死记硬背临时编造出来的中式英文,为口语高分赢得十足的把握。

　　听力篇：

　　在国内英文考试环境成长起来的考生，提起雅思听力，几乎会众口一辞，听力材料的速度太快，不是根本听不到，就是听到了也来不及写下来。

　　听力无成效，主要的问题在于方法不当。在备考初期听力非常弱的情况下，低效率的、一味通过做模拟试题的办法，只会使考生迅速失去对听力的信心。与之相反，大量的听力外围功夫需要放在实力恢复阶段来做。其核心在于，培养对声波信号的敏感度。外围功夫的准备，包括下列要点：

　　一、选取恰当的外围听力材料，反复精听。在没有文字答案的情况下，单凭听觉本身，剥出听力材料中的所有信息。

　　二、熟悉口语化的英文句子结构。通过实况听力，并结合语法部分的准备，训练对听力材料中的次要信息和提示信息的顺畅理解度。

　　三、练听力内存。考生在练习听力过程中所反应映的一个主要问题就是，很多内容好像是听到了，但马上又忘记了。雅思听力考试需要听与写同时进行。听到了，记不下来，等于没听到。逐步提高记忆时间的延长是解决这个问题的有效办法。

　　写作篇：

　　雅思考试的写作部分由大小两篇文章组成,题目也是绝对让考生有话可说的常见场景题目。问题在于,考生需要在60分钟内完成400字的写作量,很难有时间斟酌句子和词汇。因此极有必要根据套路性的场景和写作题目,准备一套能在各个场景下用得上的词汇及常用表达法。熟悉这个词汇表本身就是对写作能力的一种提高,这些词汇是考生写作应试的思维框架,必须保证随时用得上。在平时的写作练习中，要把这些有限的词汇用熟,包括拼写正确无误。

　　阅读篇：

　　阅读的积累，决非一两个星期能见效。因此，每天应保证至少半个小时的阅读量。通过阅读，恢复语感。阅读过程中，注意力不应放在生词上，而应放在获取信息上。读不懂的地方，先跳过去，保持一定的阅读速度，读词群，而不是读单个的词，否则会影响你的理解力。材料的内容越广泛越好，只要是英文材料，无论是报刊杂志、小说，还是说明书，都可以拿来读。这样可以为强化阶段的挑信息式的速读打好基础。
