Hi, I'm Oli. Welcome to Oxford Online English!
嗨，我是Oli。歡迎來到牛津在線英語課堂。
Do you need band seven in IELTS? Are you maybe stuck at band six or 6.5?
你需要雅思小分7分嗎？或者你現在還在6分或6.5分掙扎？
If you've taken the IELTS exam many times, and you can't seem to get higher than six in the writing exam, this video is for you. If you're stuck at band six, then it's likely that you have some bad habits and ineffective approaches to the writing exam.
如果你已經參加了很多次雅思考試，但是你在寫作中拿不到六分以上的分數，那麼這個視頻就是為你量身定做。如果你困在六分這個水平，那麼可能你有一些不好的習慣，以及一些無效的寫作考試應試方法。
These are things that might work well at band six, but they won't help you to get band seven. I'll show you what these ineffective habits are, and how you can change them.
這些可能可以幫你拿到六分，但是並不能幫你拿到七分。我會告訴你這些無效的習慣是什麼，以及如何改變它們。
One point: I'll be focusing on the academic IELTS exam in this video, because most of the students I meet need academic IELTS. If you're taking general IELTS, most of the advice in this video is still very relevant for you.
注意：在視頻裡，我針對的是學術雅思考試，因為我見過的大多數學生都需要參加學術雅思。如果你參加的是雅思移民類考試，視頻裡的大多數建議你也是可以借鑑的。
Also, one more thing: there's nothing wrong with getting band six! I'm not trying to be rude or discouraging to anyone.
另外，六分的分數並沒有什麼不好的！我並不想表現的很無禮，或者是令任何人灰心喪氣。
When I say that something is a bad habit, or that you need to change something, I mean if you want to get band 7.0 in the IELTS writing exam. Do you know how IELTS scoring works?
當我說某件事是一個壞習慣，或者你需要採取改變的時候，我的意思是，如果你想到拿到小分七分的話。你知道雅思考試是怎麼評分的嗎？
You should. Here's why:
你應該知道。原因是這樣的：
The IELTS scoring system is very specific. The examiners don't just look at your writing and say, "Hmmm, this feels like a… six!"
雅思的評分系統非常特別。閱卷分並不是看一眼你的寫作，然後說：「恩，這個看起來像是...六分的水平！」
If you get band six in the IELTS writing exam, there are specific reasons why. There are specific things which you did or didn't do which explain your score.
如果你雅思寫作考試拿到了六分，這裡是具體的原因。有一些你做了或者沒做的特定的事情，能夠解釋你的得分。
Similarly, to get band seven, there are specific things you need to do, and not do! Most importantly: these things are very different between bands six and seven.
同樣的，要拿到七分的話，有一些事情你需要做，也有一些事情絕對不能做！最重要的是：這些事情在六分和七分之間差別很大。
If you keep taking IELTS, and you keep getting band six in the writing, then you can't keep doing the same things and expect to get a different score. You need to change what you do.
如果你一直參加雅思考試，然後一直拿到六分的寫作小分的話，你不能一直這麼做，但是期待得到不同的分數。你需要改變自己的做法。
The things you need to do to get band seven in your IELTS writing aren't magic or some kind of dark secret. They're publicly available.
要拿到寫作七分，你要做的事情並不是什麼魔法，也不是什麼不可告人的秘密。這些事情大家都可以做。
You can read what they are. You can do it right now!
你可以看一下這都包括什麼。你現在就可以做了！
There's a link underneath the video. I highly recommend you read the scoring criteria and think about what band seven means.
視頻下面有一個連結。我強烈建議你看一下評分標準，考慮一下七分的小分意味著什麼。
At the very least, you need to understand that your IELTS writing score is made up of four different parts: task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource (which means vocabulary) and grammar. Think now: where are you weakest?
至少，你也需要理解你的雅思寫作分數包括四個不同的部分：任務達成度、連貫性和一致性和詞彙量（也就是單詞）以及語法。現在考慮：你最差的是什麼？
What do you need to work on from these four areas? In the rest of this lesson, we'll talk about each of these four areas.
這四個部分你要怎麼努力呢？在本節課程中，我們會分別討論這四個部分。
You'll see common examples of "band six thinking", and you'll see how you can improve your approach to get a higher IELTS writing score. Let's start with task achievement.
你會看到「六分思維」的常見例子，你也可以知道如何提升你的技巧，拿到更高的雅思寫作分數。首先，讓我們從任務完成度開始吧。
Here are the some ideas that are great for getting band six: "In task one, I need to include every statistic and piece of data."
這裡有一些拿到六分的很好的點子：「在第一個任務中，我需要包括所有的統計和數據。」
"In task two, I just need to write something about the general topic in the question." By the way, to save myself saying 'task achievement' again and again, I'm going to call it "TA".
「在第二個任務中，我只需要寫一些關於問題中的大致主題的東西就行。」順便說一下，為了不用一遍又一遍地說「任務完成度」，我會用「TA」來代替。
Getting band 7 for TA is both easy and hard. Here's why it's easy: you just need to do everything which the question asks you to do, and nothing else.
在任務完成度部分拿到七分，很簡單，也很難。這是為什麼簡單的原因：你只需要做所有問題要求你做的事情，不需要做任何其他的事情。
Here's why it's hard: most people can't do that without a lot of practice. TA is also slightly different for task one and task two, so we'll talk about those separately.
這是為什麼很難的原因：大多數人不經過很多練習的話，是沒辦法做到的。第一個任務和第二個任務的任務完成度有些許不同，所以我們會分開討論。
Let's start with task one. Here's a sample question:
讓我們從小作文開始吧。這是一個問題示例：
The graph below shows the sales of five different food products in the UK between 1980 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
下面的圖表呈現了英國從1980年到2010年五種不同的食品的銷量。對主要方面進行選擇和報告，總結信息，在相關的部分進行比較。
If you want some time to look at the question, pause the video. If you're watching on YouTube, you can see the question on the full version of this lesson on our website: Oxford Online English. com.
如果你需要時間瀏覽問題，那就暫停視頻。如果你正在油管看視頻的話，你可以在我們的網站看到這節課的全部問題，網站是：Oxford Online English.com。
Getting a good TA score depends a lot on what you do before you start writing. You need to analyse the task and make a clear plan.
在任務完成度方面拿到很好的分數，很大程度上取決於你在開始寫作之前做什麼。你需要分析一下任務，然後做一個清晰的計劃。
If you start writing without a clear plan, it's very hard to get a good TA score. In task one, it's important to find connections or trends in the information you're given.
如果你沒有一個清晰的計劃，就開始著手寫了，那麼就很難在任務完成度方面拿到不錯的分數。在小作文裡，從給你的消息中找到聯繫或者是趨勢非常重要。
For example, in this question, how could you connect the data? Here's one idea: you could group the five products into, first, products whose sales fell over the period (ice cream and frozen burgers) .
比如說，在這個問題裡，你如何將這些數據聯繫起來？這裡有個方法：你可以將五個產品分組，首先是在這段時間內銷量下降的產品（冰淇淋和冷凍漢堡）。
And secondly, products whose sales rose (tofu and chili sauce) and finally, products whose sales stayed the same (salted peanuts) .?Here's another suggestion: group the five products into big sellers (ice cream, frozen burgers, and also chili sauce at the end of the period) , and small sellers (tofu, salted peanuts, chili sauce at the beginning of the period) .
其次，銷量上升的產品（豆腐和辣椒醬），最後是銷量保持穩定不變的產品（鹹花生）。這是另一個建議：把五個產品分成銷量大（冰淇淋、冷凍漢堡和結束時期的辣椒醬）和銷量小（豆腐、鮮花生和開始時期的辣椒醬）兩部分。
Which way do you think is better? Actually, there isn't one correct way to do this, but you need to do something.
你覺得哪種方式更好呢？實際上，沒有完全正確的一種方法，但是你需要做一些事情。
You can't just write about each product, one after another. Well, you can, but you'll probably get band six for TA!
你不能僅僅是就每個產品寫幾句話，一個接著一個。好的，你可以這樣，但是你在任務完成度方面可能只能得到六分！
Whatever data you're given, you need to find connections and put the information into groups which you create. These groups will be separate paragraphs in your answer.
不管你拿到了什麼樣的數據，你需要尋找聯繫，並且把這些信息歸類到你自己的分組裡。這些不同的分組在你的回答中應該在不同的段落裡。
This is how your answer will have structure, which is also important for your coherence and cohesion score. What about task two?
通過這種方式，你的回答會有清晰的結構，而這對你的連貫和一致性得分也非常重要。那麼大作文呢？
Let's look at a sample question: Some people believe that young people benefit from working while studying at school or university, others think that young people will achieve more by focusing on their studies.
讓我們來看一個問題示例：有人認為在學校學習的年輕人可以通過工作獲益，但是也有人認為如果專注學習的話，年輕人會獲得更多成就。
Discuss both of these viewpoints and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
討論這兩種觀點，然後給出自己的意見。闡述你所寫答案的原因，並基於你自己的相關知識或經驗進行舉例說明。
The most common problem in task two is leaving something out or not covering something fully. To get band 7 for TA, you need to do all of the things the question is asking you to do, and only the things the question is asking you to do.
大作文中最最常見的問題就是漏了信息，或者是沒有完全包括一些信息。想得到七分的小分的話，你需要做，也只需要做問題所要求你做的所有事情。
What does that mean here? The task says, "discuss both of these viewpoints."
這意味這什麼呢？如果任務是，「就這兩種觀點進行討論」。
First, you need to discuss the idea "that young people benefit from working while studying at school or university." One word here is particularly important.
首先，你需要討論「當在學校學習的時候，年輕人能夠從工作中獲益「這個觀點。這裡有一個詞非常重要。
Do you know which one? "Benefit" is a key word here.
你知道是哪一個嗎？『益處』就是這裡的關鍵字。
What does "benefit" mean? How do you understand it in this question?
那麼『益處』又意味著什麼呢？你在這個問題裡如何理解這個詞？
Next, you need to discuss the idea, "young people will achieve more by focusing on their studies." Again, there's a key phrase here: "achieve more".
接下來，你需要討論「如果專注於學業的話，年輕人能夠獲得更多成就。」這個觀點。當然，這裡有一個關鍵短語：「獲得更多成就」。
What does this mean? You need to have answers to these questions.
這意味著什麼呢？你需要就這些問題作出回答。
IELTS tasks often contain abstract, general words like advantages, benefits, problems, success, etc. To write a good answer, you need to analyse and interpret these words yourself.
雅思考試的任務經常會包含一些抽象籠統的詞彙，比如說：優勢、益處、問題、成功等。想要寫出一個好的答案，你需要自己分析理解這些詞彙。
Here, think about "achieve more". How do you understand this term in this question?
好的，考慮一下「獲得更多成就」。你如何理解這個問題裡的這個術語呢？
Does it mean getting good exam results, learning more knowledge, learning practical skills, getting a better job, living a full, satisfying life, or something else? Again, there isn't one right answer here, but you need to have your own ideas about this.
它是不是意味著拿到更好的考試分數，學到更多的知識，學到使用的技巧，找到更好的工作，過非常豐富、令人滿意的生活，還是其他的什麼呢？當然了，這裡沒有一個完全正確的答案，但是你需要就此有自己的看法。
Next, the task says, "give your own opinion". So, you need to explain which side you agree with.
接下來，任務這樣說：「給出你自己的意見。」所以，你需要解釋你同意哪個觀點。
Finally, the task tells you to give reasons and include examples. This means that you need to support your ideas.
最後，任務要求你給出原因，並且用示例來證明。這就意味著你需要支撐你的觀點。
You can't just say something like: Young people who focus on their studies will achieve more.
你不能只是這樣說：專注學習的年輕人會有更多的成就。
If you make a point like this, you need to support it somehow. How will they achieve more?
如果你表達了這樣一個觀點的話，你需要支撐這個觀點。他們怎麼獲得更多成就呢？
What examples can you give to show that this is true? Let's review: for this question, you need to do four things to get a good TA score:
你能給出什麼例子證明這是對的呢？讓我們來複習一下吧：就這個問題而言，你需要做四件事情來拿到不錯的任務完成度分數：
1. Discuss the idea "that young people benefit from working while studying at school or university," and analyse what "benefit" means. 2. Discuss the idea that, "young people will achieve more by focusing on their studies," and analyse what "achieve more" means.
1. 討論「在學校學習的時候，年輕人能夠從工作中獲益」這個觀點，然後分析這裡的「獲益」意味著什麼。2. 討論「如果專注於學習的話，年輕人會獲得更多成就」這個觀點，然後分析這裡的「獲得更多成就」意味著什麼。
3. Give your own opinion and reach a clear conclusion. 4. Support your ideas with reasons or examples.
3. 給出你自己的觀點，然後寫一個非常清晰的結論。4. 用原因或者例子來支撐你的觀點。
If you can do these four things, you can get band 7 for TA in your IELTS writing exam. Remember though, it's not as simple as it looks.
如果你能做到這四件事情，你就能在雅思寫作考試的任務完成度方面拿到七分。但是要記住，這並不像看起來那麼簡單。
You will probably need to practise to get this right. Next, let's look at your coherence and cohesion score.
你可能需要練習來更加得心應手。接下來，讓我們看看你的連貫性和一致性分數。
I'm going to refer to coherence and cohesion as C&C, to keep things simple. Here are the habits which can limit your C&C score to six:
為了方便，我將用 C&C 來代替連貫性和一致性。這是一些會將你的連貫和一致性得分限制在六分的習慣：
"I need to use more linking words to get a higher score." "My essay should have an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion."
「為了拿到更高的分數，我需要使用更多的連接詞。」「我的文章需要有一個引入部分、兩個主體段落和一個結束段。」
Let's look at each point separately. Oh, hey, Oli!
讓我們分別看看這兩個觀點。哦，嗨咯，Oli！
How was your IELTS exam? Amazing!
你的雅思考試怎麼樣？很棒！
I totally nailed it. I used nevertheless, furthermore, however, in spite of the fact that, AND in addition.
我真的考得不錯。我用了儘管如此、而且、然而，除此之外，還有另外這幾個詞。
My band 7 score is GUARANTEED! No, it doesn't work like that.
我肯定能拿到七分！不，並不是這樣的哦。
First of all, linking isn't just about linking words. It's about the logic and flow of your ideas.
首先，聯繫並不只是連接詞。它指的是你的觀點的邏輯和流暢性。
Look at a sentence: Air pollution is a serious problem.
看看這個句子：空氣汙染是一個很嚴重的問題。
However, food prices are higher than ten years ago. Using however here doesn't magically make these ideas connected.
然而，食物價格比十年前升高了。在這個句子裡使用「然而」並沒有讓這些觀點神奇地連接在一起。
These two ideas aren't connected, and you can't create a connection by using a word like however. Next, there's nothing in the IELTS scoring system which says you get a higher score for using more linking words.
這兩個觀點毫無關聯，你不能用像「然而」這種詞來創造一種聯繫。接下來，雅思評分系統裡並沒有「用更多的連接詞你就能拿到更高的分數」這種說法。
It's more important to make sure you use linking words accurately. Using more linking words won't get you band seven.
更重要的是，你要保證你的連接詞用得很正確。使用更多的連接詞並不會讓你拿到七分。
However, using linking words incorrectly will get you band six. So, don't use linking words just to use linking words.
但是，使用不正確的連接詞會讓你停留在六分水平。所以，不要為了使用連接詞而使用連接詞。
Use them because they fit your ideas. Don't think, "I have to use nonetheless to get a high score!"
使用連接詞，是因為它們適合你的觀點。不要想：「我需要用到『儘管如此』來拿到更高的分數！」
You don't. Next, let's look at our second point: paragraphing.
你不會的哦。接下來，讓我們看看我們的第二點：分段。
Many IELTS candidates use the same structure for everything they write. For example, for task two, most people write an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
很多雅思考生無論寫什麼，都使用相同的結構。比如說，在大作文裡，很多人會寫一個引入段、兩個主體段和一個結論。
That might be fine. However, to get band 7 for C&C, you need to "present a clear central topic within each paragraph."
那可能還可以。但是，如果想在連貫和一致性方面拿到七分，你需要「在每一段裡都呈現非常清晰的中心觀點」。
Those aren't my words. That's straight from the IELTS scoring scheme.
那不是我說的話。這句話直接來自於雅思評分標準。
Many students, especially in task two, write paragraphs like this: There are many advantages to … Firstly, … Secondly, … Thirdly, …
很多學生，尤其在大作文裡，會寫這樣的段落：做...有很多益處...首先，...，其次...，第三，...
This kind of writing is likely to get a score of 6 for C&C. Why?
這樣寫的話在連貫和一致性方面只能拿到六分。為什麼？
Because, if you do this, you're trying to put too much in one paragraph. That means your paragraph won't have a clear central topic.
因為，如果你這樣寫的話，你是在把過多的信息塞到一個段落裡。這就意味著你的段落沒有很清晰的中心論點。
So, what's the solution? First, plan your essay carefully.
所以，怎麼解決這個問題呢？首先，認真給你的文章列提綱。
Make sure you know exactly what you're putting in each paragraph before you start writing. Secondly, make sure your paragraph starts with a clear topic sentence.
確保你在開始寫作之前，非常清楚地知道你在每段都要寫些什麼。其次，確保你的每一段都以一個清晰的主題句開始。
Your topic sentence should be relatively short and simple. If your topic sentence is very long and complicated, then your topic probably isn't clear.
你的主題句應該相對較短並且很簡單。如果你的主題句非常長，也很複雜，那麼你的觀點可能並不會很清晰。
Then, after your topic sentence, spend the rest of the paragraph developing and extending your main idea. This means that you aren't adding any new ideas or changing the topic in the middle of your paragraph.
然後，在主題句之後，用剩下的段落來發展和延伸你的主要觀點。這就意味著你不能在段落中間增加任何新的觀點或者是改變話題。
Also, this means you might need different numbers of paragraphs depending on how many main ideas you have. Do you have two body paragraphs in your essay?
此外，這也意味著你可能用不同的段落數，取決於你有多少主要觀點。你的論文中有兩個主體段落嗎？
That means you have two main ideas. Do you have three main ideas?
那就意味著你有兩個主要觀點。你有三個主要觀點嗎？
Then you need three paragraphs! Another point: paragraphs don't have a minimum length.
那麼你就需要三段！另外一點：段落並沒有最短的長度。
There's no such thing as a paragraph which is too short. Paragraphs can be any length.
並沒有「某一段太短了」這種說法。段落長短均可。
So, let's review this section. To get band seven C&C in your IELTS writing exam, you need to focus on using linking words accurately and appropriately.
所以，讓我們來複習一下這個部分。想要在雅思寫作考試的連貫和一致性部分拿到七分，你需要正確並且合適地使用連接詞。
You also need to make sure every paragraph has a clear central topic, which means you shouldn't try to put many different ideas in one paragraph. Next, let's look at vocabulary and how you can get to band seven.
你也需要確保每一段有一個清晰的中心話題，也就意味著你不應該把很多不同的觀點強行塞到一個段落裡。接下來，讓我們看看詞彙部分，以及你如何能拿到七分。
Here's a band six idea that students often have: "I need to learn lots of synonyms and uncommon vocabulary.
這裡有一個六分學生常有的觀點：「我需要學習很多同義詞和不常見的詞彙。
If my vocabulary is bigger, I'll get a higher score." There's one important difference between band six and seven for vocabulary.
如果我的詞彙量更大的話，我可以拿到更高的分數。」在詞彙方面，六分和七分有一個非常重要的差異。
At band six, you need two things: range and clarity. That means, if you at least try to use some more advanced or uncommon vocabulary, you can get six if your meaning is clear, even if you make mistakes, even if you make lots of mistakes.
拿到六分，你需要兩件事情：範圍和清晰。那就意味著，如果至少你努力使用更多高級或者不常見的詞彙，並且你的意思清晰的話，你可以拿到六分，即使你犯了錯誤，或者是犯了很多錯誤。
However, for band seven, you need three things: range, clarity and accuracy. It's no longer enough just to try.
但是，要拿到七分的話，你需要三件事：範圍、清晰和正確。只是試一下並不夠。
You need to use vocabulary "with flexibility and precision" —again, this is a quote from the official scoring scheme. You can't make many mistakes for band seven.
你需要「靈活準確」地使用詞彙--是的，這也是官方評分系統中的一句話。要拿到七分，你不能犯很多錯誤。
You can produce 'occasional errors' and still get band seven. What does this mean for you?
你可以「偶爾犯點錯」，但是仍然能夠拿到七分。對你而言，這意味著什麼呢？
It means that your priority should be avoiding mistakes. I see many IELTS students trying to learn lots of idioms, phrases, academic vocabulary and so on.
這意味著你最重要的任務就是避免錯誤。我見過很多雅思考生努力學習很多成語、短語、學術詞彙等等。
But then, they often don't know how to use this vocabulary well. They use it in their writing, because they think it sounds nice, and their meaning might be clear, but it's not correct.
但是，他們一般並不知道如何正確使用這些詞彙。他們在寫作中使用這些詞彙，因為他們覺得聽起來很好，他們的意思可能更清楚，但是那並不正確。
That's fine for band six, but not for band seven. So, what should you do?
對於六分來說還可以，但是七分就不行了。所以，你應該做什麼呢？
Look, first of all, vocabulary learning is hard work and it's slow. There aren't any magic solutions here.
首先，詞彙學習很難，而且過程很慢。沒有什麼神奇的解決方案。
But I'll give you one tip: When you're learning vocabulary, focus on quality and depth, not quantity.
但是讓我給你一個小技巧：當你學習詞彙的時候，把重點放在質量和深度上，而不是數量。
Don't try to learn 50 words or phrases. Learn five words or phrases, but really learn them.
不要學習五十個詞或者是短語。而是學習五個詞彙或者短語，但是要保證是真正的學會了。
Spend an hour learning and practising five new words and phrases. Find example sentences.
花一個小時來學習和練習這五個單詞和短語。找一些示例句。
Write your own example sentences. Ask a teacher or whoever you can find to give you feedback.
寫寫你自己的示例句。找老師或者其他人，向他們詢問反饋。
Make sure you know how to use your new vocabulary correctly. Another point: in the exam, if you have a choice between a simple word which you know is correct, and a more advanced or academic word which you aren't sure about, what should you do?
保證你知道如何正確使用你的新詞彙。另一點：在考試中，如果你在一個你知道它是對的的簡單單詞和一個你並不是很確定的高級或者學術單詞之間進行選擇的時候，你應該怎麼做呢？
Use the simple word. Only use vocabulary you're sure you understand and that you know how to use.
用那個簡單的單詞。只使用你很確定你理解並且知道如何使用的單詞。
This is the opposite to band six. For band six, you can use the more advanced word, even if it's wrong.
這和六分完全相反。要拿到六分的話，你可以使用更多高級詞彙，即使它是錯的。
But remember, to get band seven, you need to be accurate. You can't make many mistakes.
但是記住，想要拿到七分的話，你需要確保其正確性。你不能犯很多錯誤。
So, in this situation, take the safe choice! Finally, let's look at the grammar score and how you can get to band seven.
所以，在這種情況下，做出更安全的選擇！最後，讓我們看看語法得分，以及如何拿到七分。
Here's the band six idea which students often have: "Grammar's not so important, so long as people can understand what I mean."
這裡是六分學生常有的思維：「語法並不重要，只要人們能理解我說的是什麼就可以了。」
Again, band six and band seven are very different. This is especially true for your grammar score.
同樣的，六分和七分有天壤之別。對於語法得分，這一點尤其正確。
What's the difference? Like vocabulary, you need to be accurate to get band seven.
不同是什麼呢？像詞彙一樣，要拿到七分的話，你需要準確。
At band six, it doesn't really matter how many grammar mistakes you make so long as your meaning is clear. At band seven, the quantity of grammar errors you make matters.
在六分的水平，你犯了多少語法錯誤並不重要，只要你的意思清晰就可以。但是在七分的水平，語法錯誤的數量至關重要。
It really matters! To get band seven for grammar, you need to "produce frequent error-free sentences" —again, these words are directly from the official IELTS scoring scheme.
真的很重要！想要在語法方面拿到七分，你需要「寫出沒有錯誤的句子」--是的，這些話也是來自於雅思官方評分準則裡面的。
That means if you make a lot of small mistakes, it's almost impossible to get band seven for grammar. All mistakes count: you use the wrong preposition?
那就意味著如果你犯了很多小錯誤的話，那你就基本不可能在語法方面拿到七分了。所有的錯誤都很重要：你用了錯誤的介詞？
It's a mistake. You forget to use the?
這是個錯誤。你忘記用「the」了？
Mistake. You forget the's' on a present simple verb?
錯誤。你忘記一般現在時動詞之後的「s」了嗎？
Mistake. If your writing is around band six, you probably make more mistakes than you realise.
錯誤。如果你的寫作是六分水平，你可能會比你意識到的犯更多的錯誤。
So, again, what can you do? First, you need to identify the common mistakes which you make.
所以，你能做什麼呢？首先，你需要找出你的犯的錯誤。
For this, you need a teacher to show you where you make mistakes in your writing. Every time you do some writing, look at the grammar mistakes you make.
要這麼做的話，你需要一個老師幫你找出你在寫作中犯錯誤的地方。每次寫東西的時候，看看你的語法錯誤。
Sort them into two categories. One: mistakes with things you don't know.
把它們分為兩類。第一類：因為不知道所犯的錯誤。
Two: mistakes with things you already knew. For example, if you write 'childrens' instead of 'children', this is probably a type two mistake.
第二類：雖然知道，但是還是犯的錯誤。比如說，如果你寫的是「childrens」而不是「children」，這可能是第二類錯誤。
Most likely, you knew this already. You just made a mistake, because you were in a hurry, or you were tired, or you have a bad habit, or you weren't paying attention, or something like that.
你很可能已經知道這一點。你只是犯了一個錯誤，可能是因為你很趕時間，或者是很累，或者是你的習慣不好，或者是你不專心，就像這樣。
With type one mistakes—things you don't know—get a good grammar book and study to fill the gaps in your knowledge. With type two mistakes, put your errors into a digital flashcard app like Anki or Quizlet or something like that.
第一種錯誤--你不知道的東西--弄一本語法書去學，填補知識空缺。第二類錯誤，把你的錯誤放到一個電子識字卡程序中，比如說Anki或者是Quizlet。
For example: Question: This is one of most serious problems in today's world.
比如說：問題：This is one of most serious problems in today's world.
Answer: This is one of the most serious problems in today's world. Every time you write something, add your mistakes as questions to your flashcard app.
答案：This is one of the most serious problems in today's world.每次你寫什麼東西的時候，把你的錯誤添加為問題到你的識字卡程序裡。
Review your mistakes regularly—every day is best! This approach requires a lot of patience, but it's the only effective way to get rid of those bad habits which can stop you getting band seven in IELTS writing.
有規律地複習你的錯誤--每天都複習是最好的！這個方法很需要耐心，但是這是擺脫那些讓你在雅思寫作考試中拿不到七分的壞習慣的唯一有效的方法。
Okay, so now you should have some ideas about how to get band seven in your IELTS writing exam. There's a lot of information in this lesson, and there's also a lot which I didn't say!
好的，你現在應該知道如何在雅思寫作考試中拿到七分了吧。這節課信息量很大，也有很多我並沒有來得及說！
Band seven is a high standard, and you should accept that it will take time and work to get there. Do you have an IELTS experience which you think people could learn from?
七分這個標準很高，你也應該接受拿到七分需要花很多時間和精力的這個事實。你有一些雅思經驗，可以供其他人學習借鑑嗎？
