Hi, guys. It's Keith from ieltsspeakingsuccess, and today, I'm gonna give you a video that is taken actually from my new course. It's an online course on udemy and this video is the kind of video you get on that course.
大家好，我是 ieltsspeakingsuccess 的基斯，今天，我要給大家看一段視頻，這段視頻來自我的新課程。這是 udemy 上的一個在線課程，這個視頻就是你在那門課上看到的那種視頻。
It's all about speaking evaluation.?So, how is the IELTS test really evaluated and scored and what do you need to do to get a band seven. Listening and find out.
都是關於口語評分的。那麼，雅思考試到底是如何評估和評分的，你需要做些什麼才能拿到7分呢。聽聽視頻怎麼說吧。
So, in this video, we're looking at what the examiner is listening for. So, what and how will they evaluate your English?
在本視頻中，我們來看看考官在聽什麼。那麼，他們會怎樣評價你的英語呢？
So, the IELTS speaking test takes place in a room with one examiner live one-on-one. They will ask you the questions and the same person evaluates your language.
雅思口語考試是在一個房間裡進行的，是一對一的形式。他們會問你問題，同一個人評價你的語言。
They will only evaluate the language you produce. They cannot guess what you mean.
他們只會評估你所說的語言。他們猜不出你的意思。
So, never think "Oh, they know what I mean", no, they don't, and they won't try. So, make sure you produce enough language and make sure you speak clearly and loud enough so they can hear you and evaluate you.
所以，千萬不要想「哦，他們知道我的意思」，不，他們不知道，他們也不會嘗試。所以，確保你能說足夠多的話，確保你說得足夠清楚和大聲，這樣他們就能聽到你並對你做出評估。
So, the examiner will evaluate four things in the exam, okay. Fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
考官會在考試中評估四個方面。流利度、詞彙、語法和發音。
Let's have a look at each of these in a bit more detail. So first, fluency, and here, there are probably three things the examiner looks at: ease of speaking, hesitation and repetition, and connectives.
讓我們更詳細地看一下每一個。首先，流利度，在這裡，考官可能會看三個方面：說話的容易程度，猶豫和重複，以及連接詞。
Ease of speaking is basically how easily you connect your sentences, okay. So, if I say, "Well, I come from Manchester. It's a beautiful city. It's up in the north of England and I've lived there for a long time."
說話的容易程度基本上就是你連接句子的容易程度。如果我說，「嗯，我來自曼徹斯特。這是一個美麗的城市。它在英格蘭北部，我在那裡住了很長時間。」
It's a nice smooth flow, good fluency, okay. Be careful, fluency is not speed. You do not have to speak fast.
這句話非常流暢，很流利。但要小心，流利不意味著速度。你不必說得很快。
Then there is hesitation. Erm, erm, hesitation is, erm, oh yeah, erm. . . that's your hesitation. Repetition — when you repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat.
然後是猶豫。額，額，猶豫就是，額，噢，額......這就是猶豫。重複——你重複重複重複再重複。
So, you need to be listening to yourself, maybe record yourself and notice the hesitation and repetition. For example: I, I, I live, I live, I live in in manchester.
所以，你需要聽你自己說的話，可以錄下來，注意自己的猶豫和重複。例如：我，我，我住在，我住在曼徹斯特。
Now, when you play that back and listen, you'll notice how much you hesitate and repeat. So, try and reduce the "erms" and the repetition.
現在當你回放和聽的時候，你會注意到你有多猶豫和重複。所以，試著減少「額」和重複。
Next, we have connectives — basically the words that connect your sentences. So, for example, "and/but/then/also/too/however/so", all of these are connectives, you need to use quite a few and a good range and spoken connectives not written academic connectives, okay.
下一個是連接——就是連接你句子的單詞。例如「and/but/then/also/too/however/so」，這些都是連詞，你需要使用相當多和範圍很廣的口語連接詞而不是書面學術連接詞。
So, for fluency, basically, a band 7, ok, would look like this: speaks without any noticeable effort; may have hesitation at times; uses a range of connectors with flexibility. Let's move on and look at vocabulary.
那麼就流利性而言，7分的口語的要求是這樣的：毫不費力地講話；有時會猶豫；靈活地使用一系列連接詞。我們繼續看詞彙。
For vocabulary, there are five things to look at. So, we have the range, the mistakes, idiomatic expressions, collocation, and paraphrase.
對於詞彙，需要注意五方面。包括範圍、錯誤、習慣表達、搭配和釋義。
Let's look at each one in turn. So the range is the range of vocabulary you use, a short range, so for example, "air pollution is bad for the air" or do you have a wide range of words "air pollution is detrimental to the environment", so that range is important.
我們一個個來看。範圍就是你使用的詞彙範圍，範圍小的，例如，「air pollution is bad for the air」，或者，你的詞彙範圍很廣，「air pollution is bad for the air」，詞彙範圍很重要。
Secondly, mistakes. Sometimes we confuse the verb for the adjective or the adjective for the noun, right. So, be careful of mistakes like "air pollutes is badly for air", okay. Be careful with the mistakes.
第二，錯誤。有時候我們會把動詞和形容詞搞混，或者把形容詞和名詞搞混。所以，要小心像「air pollutes is badly for air」這樣的錯誤。小心這些錯誤。
Thirdly, we have idiomatic expressions and these are really important. They will include idioms, sayings, phrasal verbs, so brush up on your idiomatic expressions, don't "throw in the towel", and you will "sail through" the exam with "flying colours".
第三是習慣表達，這些非常重要。它們包括習語、諺語、動詞短語，所以複習一下你的慣用表達方式，不要「認輸」，你就能「一帆風順」地通過考試。
It's good to use them, maybe not too many, but use some. Next, we have collocation. You need to be aware of collocation.
使用它們有好處，但不要用太多，用一些。然後是搭配。你需要知道搭配。
Do we say "do a shower", "make a shower", "have a shower", "get a shower", "become a shower"? Oh yeah, "have a shower".
我們說「do a shower」，「make a shower」，「have a shower」，「get a shower」，「become a shower」嗎？對，「have a shower」。
It's the words that go together. You need a good awareness of collocation.
在是單詞的搭配使用。你必須非常了解搭配。
And finally, paraphrase, and this is your ability to to say something when you don't know the word, maybe you forget the word, but you can't say "Oh, I don't know how to say that." You have to find a way to express your idea.
最後，釋義，這就是當你不認識某個單詞時，你將它表達出來能力，也許你忘記了這個單詞，但是你不能說「哦，我不知道該怎麼說。」你得想辦法表達你的想法。
So for example, I was fixing a plug the other day and I needed that long thing made of metal to help me unscrew the top and then I could fix it. "That long thing made of metal to unscrew the top", okay, I forgot it's a screwdriver, but I can paraphrase and a key part of a band 7 is you can paraphrase effectively.
比如說，前幾天我在修一個插頭，我需要一個金屬的長條東西來幫助我擰開頂部，然後我就能修好它。「那個用金屬的長條東西，可以擰開頂部」，好吧，我忘了這是螺絲刀，但我可以解釋，而要得到7分的關鍵是你可以有效地解釋它的意思。
So, let's look then at what we need for a band 7: uses vocabulary flexibly to discuss a variety of topics, uses less common and idiomatic vocabulary, shows awareness of collocation, can paraphrase effectively. Great. Let's look now at grammar.
那麼，讓我們來看看我們對7分的要求：靈活運用詞彙來討論各種話題，使用不太常見和慣用的詞彙，表現出搭配意識，能夠有效地釋義。很好。現在我們來看看語法。
For grammar, there are three things the examiner will be listening. For simple or complex structures, flexible use, and mistakes.
對於語法，考官會聽三個方面。簡單或複雜結構，靈活使用，還有錯誤。
So, what do we mean by "simple"? Well basically, a simple structure is one clause and one tense.
「簡單」是什麼意思呢？簡單結構基本上就是單一從句和單一時態。
For example: I live in London. It's a beautiful city. I like it very much. One clause, one tense. Complex though, is normally more than one clause, maybe two or three, and more than one tense and different tenses.
例如：I live in London. It's a beautiful city. I like it very much.單一的從句，單一的時態。而複雜結構通常是一個以上的從句，可能是兩個或三個，以及一個以上的時態和不同的時態。
So for example, I'm living in London which is a beautiful city. Relative clause, two clauses. I'm living in London which is a beautiful city and I have been living here for two years.
例如：I'm living in London which is a beautiful city.關係從句，兩個從句。I'm living in London which is a beautiful city and I have been living here for two years.
More complex sentences, okay, three clauses different tenses. That is complex.
更複雜的句子，好的，三個從句，不同的時態。那就是複雜結構。
So, the ability to use clauses and tenses flexibly and with few mistakes. So, a band 7 looks like this: Uses a range of complex structures with flexibility, with some flexibility, and there are frequent error-free sentences.
因此，能靈活運用分句和時態，且很少出錯。7分的要求是這樣的：使用了一系列具有靈活性的複雜結構，具有一定的靈活性，並且有頻繁出現的無錯誤句子。
Let's move on. Let's look now at pronunciation and there are three things really that the examiner will look for. It's the range of features, of pronunciation features, your control of them and are you easy to understand.
我們繼續。現在我們看看發音，考官會注重三個方面。一系列的發音、你對發音的控制和你是否容易被理解。
So, let me say something about accent. You can have any accent, whether it's Chinese, Indian, Canadian, American, British, Brazilian, German.
那麼，我們說說口音。你可以有各種口音，中式、印度、加拿大、美國、英國、巴西、德國。
Accent is okay, you can even get a 9 with an accent. It's about your control of the pronunciation features of English, okay.
口音沒問題，就算你有口音，你都可以拿到九分。只要你控制好你的英語發音。
So, focus on the features, typically those features will include individual sounds: ow, now, know, now, take, tea, so the vowels and the consonants. The word stress, present/przent/, present/preznt/. Which part of the word do you stress?
要注意這些發音，尤其是單個發音：ow, now, know, now, take, tea，元音和輔音。單詞重讀，present/przent/，present/preznt/。你重讀的部分。
Sentence stress is really important. Each of these sentences has a different meaning.
句子重讀非常重要。這些句子的每一個都有不同的意思。
I don't live in London. I DON'T live in London.
【我】不住在倫敦。我【不】住在倫敦。
I don't LIVE in London. I don't live IN London.
我不【住】在倫敦。我不住【在】倫敦。
I don't live in LONDON. Right? So, where you put the stress changes the meaning, five slightly different meanings.
我不住在【倫敦】。對吧？你重讀的位置會改變意思，五個稍微不同的意思。
Then connected speech. So, this is where we connect two words. If a word finishes in a consonant and the next word begins with a vowel, we usually connect them.
然後是連音。就是我們把兩個單詞連起來讀。如果一個單詞以輔音結尾，下一個單詞以元音開頭，我們通常會將它們連接起來讀。
Take, for example, "wake up", "wake up", /kp/, "wake up", "wake up". "Wake up early", "up early", /pli/, /pli/, /pli/, /pli/, "up early", "wake up early", "wake up early", "wake up early", "wake up early".
例如，「wake up」，「wake up」，/kp/，「wake up」，「wake up」。
Once you start repeating it, you hear the sound "wake up early". It's much more important to focus on the sound than the words.
當你重複的時候，你會聽到它的發音，「wake up early」。把注意力放在發音上比放在單詞上要重要得多。
That's why listening to audio is so good rather than reading words aloud. Listen to audio, focus on the sounds, and wake up early.
這就是為什麼聽音頻比大聲朗讀好的原因。聽音頻，專注於發音，wake up early。
Finally, intonation. Intonation is difficult to practice.
最後，語調。語調很難練習。
You just need to listen lots and lots of lots, but for example, listen to the difference here, okay. That's great.
你要大量地聽，例如，聽聽下面的不同。
Oh, thank you.Well, that's great.
Oh, I'm sorry. That's great.
The intonation can mean "it's really good", or "it's really bad". So, intonation is important.
用語調可以表示「這非常好」，或者「這非常糟糕」。所以，語調很重要。
So, for a band 7, what do we have? Well, produces "a range of pronunciation features with good control and some ability to sustain over longer terms and can be understood throughout".
那麼，對於7分的要求是什麼呢？嗯，「發音良好，具有良好的控制發音的能力並能維持較長時間，在整個過程中都能被理解」。
So now, you have a clear idea about what is being evaluated: your fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and what you need to focus on to get a band 7. So guys, if you like this video, you may want to check out the complete course. It's on udemy.
