朋友们好。今天我将和大家分享雅思口语考试的十个妙招，这将有助于保证你在考试当天取得成功。我们马上开始吧。
Hello, everybody. My name is Keith, and just in case you don't know me, I run a website called ieltsspeakingsuccess, giving you resources, ideas and model answers to help you improve your English, give better answers, and get a higher score on the IELTS speaking test.
大家好。我是基斯，以防你不认识我，我经营了一个叫做 ieltsspeakingsuccess 的网站，为你们资源、想法和模板答案来帮助提高你的英语，作出更好的回答，并在雅思口语考试中获得更高的分数。
Also, I run Facebook and YouTube live lessons, free lessons for everybody every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a. m. Spanish time. Go and check it out in the links below.
另外，我在西班牙时间每周二和周四上午十点为大家免费开设 Facebook 和 YouTube 实时课程。点击下面的链接去看看吧。
Now, come closer. Now, listen. Imagine that you've prepared for your IELTS speaking test for months, right? You've been preparing, you've had lessons, you've watched videos, you've done a mock test, you've got a speaking partner and you're ready to go.
现在，靠近点。听着，想象一下你已经为雅思口语考试准备了几个月。你一直在准备，上了课，看了视频，做了模拟测试，有个练口语的伙伴，你已经准备好了。
And then, it's test day. You get a bit nervous.
然后，测试那天到了。你有点紧张。
You check your Facebook and you think: "Everybody's better than me". And then, you start getting a bit anxious and you start to lose your confidence.
你刷了你的脸书，在想：“每个人都比我好”。然后你开始变得有些不安，并开始失去信心。
You go into the test room. The examiner doesn't smile.
你进入考场。考官没有微笑。
You start making mistakes. And then the examiner keeps interrupting you and it all goes belly-up.
你开始出错。然后，考官一直打断你，一切都崩溃了。
Well, listen. Don't let that happen to you. Get a pen and paper, listen carefully, make notes and follow these tips to make sure your test day is a success and that you get the score you deserve.
嗯，听着。不要让这个情况发生在你的身上。拿支笔和一张纸，认真听，做好笔记，跟着这些妙招，确保你在测试日获得成功，拿到你应得的分数。
Let's get into it. So, my first tip is go to bed early the night before the test.
我们开始吧。我的第一个妙招是在考试的前一天晚上早点睡。
Test day is a big day. Even if it's just the speaking test, you need to be on form, right?
测试日是个大日子。即使它只是口语测试，你也需要保持状态。
Energetic, and alert, and awake. So, you need to sleep well.
充满活力、保持警觉和清醒。因此，你需要睡个好觉。
There is no point in cramming and studying the night before until the early hours. It's not gonna help, it's not gonna change your English speaking at this late stage.
在考试前一天晚上死记硬背和学习到凌晨是没有意义的。这不会有帮助，也不会改变你现在的英语口语。
So, don't study, maybe watch a film in English, listen to a podcast in English, but relax, go to bed early, so the next day you're full of beans, ready for your IELTS speaking test. Number two, breathe and focus!
所以，不要学习，也许看一部英语电影，听英语播客，但要放松，早点睡觉，这样第二天你就精力充沛，准备好雅思口语考试了。第二，呼吸、集中精力！
One of the biggest problems all candidates have is nerves. Getting nervous makes them anxious, make mistakes, and very quickly you can lose all of your confidence.
所有考生最大的问题之一就是神经紧张。紧张会让他们焦虑，犯错误，很快你就会失去信心。
So, the thing to do in the morning, right, you've got up early, you've had a big breakfast, you get to the venue on time. Find a place, a quiet place, just for two minutes and breathe.
所以，早上要做的事就是早起、吃了一顿丰盛的早餐、准时到达会场。找个地方，一个安静的地方，就两分钟，然后呼吸。
You can call this meditation, mindfulness, following the breath. It's just taking time to breathe and notice your breathing.
你可以称之为冥想，正念，跟随呼吸。只是花点时间去呼吸，注意你的呼吸。
So, you breathe in and out. Do this with me just now. I'll show you.
吸气，呼气。现在跟着我做。我会教你。
Breathe in, and out. Don't try to breathe.
吸气，呼气。不要试着呼吸。
Just let your body breathe, but you can notice the breath. Maybe you can feel it on your nostrils, down in your abdomen, and when it comes out, maybe on your lips or on your nostrils.
让你的身体呼吸，但你能注意到呼吸。也许你能感觉到气流在你的鼻孔里，在你的腹部，当它出来的时候，也许在你的嘴唇上或鼻孔上。
And just follow that breath. It is an amazing way to get focused.
跟着呼吸。这是一种令人惊奇的集中注意力的方式。
Try it with me, just for two breaths. It's an amazing way to get into that moment and to get really focused.
和我一起试试，呼吸两下。这是一种进入状态并真正集中注意力的神奇方式。
It's not easy to do, you can't just do it like that. It's a bit like the gym or speaking English.
这不容易做，你不能就这样做。这有点像健身或说英语。
You do need to train and practice. So, maybe for the the week before the test, every morning, just find a quiet place and sit for two minutes and follow the breath.
你确实需要训练和练习。也许在考试前的一周，每天早上，找一个安静的地方，坐两分钟，跟着呼吸。
Do it first thing when you get up when the house is quiet. If you've got lots of children and people around the house, do it in the toilet.
当你起床，屋里很安静的时候，首先做这件事。如果你家里有很多孩子和人，那就去厕所吧。
Go in the toilet. And when you've finished your business or brushing your teeth, just follow the breath.
进入厕所。当你做完你的事情或刷完牙，就跟着呼吸。
If anybody knocks on the door, don't say, "I'm meditating." Doesn't work.
如果有人敲门，不要说：“我在冥想。”没有用。
"Oh, you could do that later." Say, "I'm on the toilet."
“噢，你可以晚点再做。”说：“我在上厕所。”
Because everybody understands you're on the toilet. "Oh, right. Okay. Let him be. That's okay."
因为每个人都会理解你在上厕所。“好吧，让他上吧。没关系。”
And then have that two minutes every day, follow the breath. Just let it be. Tip number three, smile before you enter the room, the exam room, okay?
然后每天做两分钟，跟着呼吸。顺其自然。第三个技巧，进入考场前要微笑。
Because when you smile, your body changes, your physiology changes, and your psychology changes. You start to feel better.
因为当你微笑的时候，你的身体会改变，你的生理也会改变，你的心理也会改变。你开始感觉良好。
And you will project a bit of energy which hopefully, will make the examiner feel better. So, smile just a few seconds before you go into the room and get ready and this will help you relax and help the examiner relax.
你会表现出一点活力，而且这很可能会让考官感觉好一些。所以，在你进入房间准备好之前，微笑几秒钟，这将有助于你放松和帮助考官放松。
Tip number four, make your first answers in the introduction short. The introduction, I mean the questions about either your home, hometown or family, not family, about your home, hometown, work or study.
技巧四，在介绍中简短地回答问题。介绍，我指的是关于你的家，家乡或家庭，而不是家庭，关于你的家，家乡，工作或学习的问题。
You'll just get one or two questions there. It really is a warm up.
在这一环节你会被问一到两个问题。这是热身。
So, keep your answers short. Because if you make them longer, you've got a good chance of making mistakes and hesitating and it's a bad first impression.
所以，你的答案一定要简短。因为如果你回答得长，你很有可能会犯错、犹豫，这是一个不好的第一印象。
So, keep it really short and make it a better impression. For example, right: "What do you do?"
所以一定要使它简短，留下一个更好的印象。例如：“你的工作是什么？”
"Well, I'm a teacher. I've been teaching for about ten years."
“嗯，我是一名老师。我已经教书十年了。”
Boom! Stop! It's enough, right? "Do you like your job?"
嘣！停！够了，好吗？“你喜欢你的工作吗？”
"Yeah, I do actually, I really enjoy it. Particularly making videos and teaching students and watching them progress."
“喜欢，老实说我真的很喜欢。”尤其是制作视频、教学生和看到他们进步。”
Boom! Stop! Keep it short. Warm up. That's it. Tip number five, take your time when you answer.
嘣！停！这么短就好了。热身。可以了。第五招，作答的时候要从容不迫。
In part one, but particularly part three, don't rush into your answer. What a lot of people do is they get a bit nervous.
在第一部分，尤其是第三部分，不要急于回答。很多人都会有点紧张。
They hear the question and they start speaking before they've got their first idea. It's fine to stop for a second or two, just be silent and then give your answer.
他们听到问题，然后在第一个想法出来之前就开始说话。停一两秒钟也没关系，沉默一下然后给出你的答案。
For example: "Do you cook?" "Yes, I do cook, I've been cooking since I was a kid.
例如：“你会做饭吗？”“是的，我会做饭，从我是个孩子的时候我就开始做饭了。
I'm really enjoying it actually, my favourite dish is Paella!" So, I took a few seconds to stop and think.
我真的很喜欢做饭，我最喜欢的菜是海鲜饭！”我停顿几秒钟思考了一下。
Get my first idea at least, and then I can make up the rest as I go. But be careful that you don't do this: "Do you cook?"
至少有了我的第一个想法，然后我就可以边说边补了。“你会做饭吗？”
"Yeah, yeah, I do. Yes. (Oh no, I don't cook! ) Well, kind of, I like to cook, I. . . (What am I saying? I hate cooking! )
“是的，是的，我会。对。（哦不，我不会做饭！）嗯，我喜欢做饭，我......（我该说什么？我讨厌做饭！）
. . . cook eggs, fry, boiled egg. . . (What do I say now? ) (Oh, what a mess! )"
煮鸡蛋，炒、水煮鸡蛋......（现在我该说什么？）（噢，真是一团糟！）”
Tip number six.?Don't worry if the examiner interrupts you or cuts in.
第六招。如果考官打断你或插话，不要担心。
They often do this because they have a certain number of questions they have to ask you. And they want to test you.
他们经常这样做是因为他们有一定数量的问题要问你。他们想测试你。
Each question will be testing something different, so they want to see also the range of vocabulary on different topics. So, they're always cutting and changing question to see if you can show that range of vocabulary and language and to see if you can react quickly to a different question.
每个问题都会测试不同的内容，所以他们也希望了解不同主题的词汇范围。所以，他们总是不断地修改问题，看看你能不能展示出足够的词汇和语言，看看你能不能对不同的问题做出快速反应。
It's perfectly normal. Don't worry. It's not necessarily a bad thing.
这十分正常。不用担心。这并不一定是坏事。
Actually, it can be a very good thing sometimes, because maybe the examiner has heard enough and they want to move to the next topic, so they cut in go to the next question. It will happen. Just relax. Breathe and move on to the next question.
事实上，有时候这是一件非常好的事情，因为也许考官已经听够了，他们想转到下一个话题，所以他们就切入到下一个问题。这会发生的。放松点。深呼吸，继续下一个问题。
Tip number seven. Remember in part 1 and actually part 2, it's all about you, your personal experience. So, try not to talk in wide, vague, general terms, right?
第七招。记得，在第一部分和第二部分，问题都是关于你，你的个人经历。所以不要回答得广泛、含糊、笼统。
If somebody asks, you know, "Do you get up early in the morning?" Don't say, "Yes, getting up early in the morning is very good for you.
如果有人问你：“你早上很早起床吗？”不要说：“是的，早上早起对你很有好处。
I think it's a great habit that everybody should adopt." That's not about you, that's very very general.
我认为这是每个人都应该养成的好习惯。”这不是关于你，这非常非常的笼统。
Change it to "I": "Yes, I get up very early in the morning.
改成“我”。“是的，我每天早上都很早起床。
I think it's a great habit and I'm really happy it's one that I've adapted." Or not "adapted", "adopted".
我认为这是一个很好的习惯，我很高兴我已经适应了这个习惯。”不是“适应”，是“养成”。
Can you see the difference? I, me, not vagaries.
看到区别了吗？我，不是别人。
Number eight. In part three, develop your answers!
第八。在第三部分，拓展你的答案。
That's key. The simple way to do it: give an opinion, give a reason, and give an example, and make it really specific examples.
这是关键。简单的方法是：给出一个观点，给出一个理由，并举出一个例子，使之成为真正具体的例子。
Why? Because it gives and brings out much richer vocabulary and that's what you want to show off to the examiner, right? So, don't wait for them to say, "Why? For example?"
为什么？因为这样能带来更丰富的词汇，这就是你想要向考官展示的，对吧？不要等他们问：“为什么？例如呢？”
Give that information, tell them your opinion, why, and give some examples. And that can be done very simply with "I would say. . .", ". . . because. . .", "for example. . .".
说出那些信息，告诉他们你的观点，原因，并举些例子。这可以很简单地用“我想说…”，“…因为…”，“例如…”来做到。
Imagine this question: What are the advantages of living in a big city? "Well, I would say one of the biggest advantages is there are more job opportunities.
想象 这个问题：住在大城市有什么好处？“嗯，我想说最大的好处之一就是有更多的工作机会。
And I think that's because a lot of the big companies tend to put their headquarters in the big cities. For example, HSBC, an international bank, it has its main headquarters in London and other branches in other cities.
我认为这是因为很多大公司倾向于把总部设在大城市。例如，汇丰银行，一家国际性银行，它的总部设在伦敦，其他分行则设在其他城市。
In fact, I think in London they have a branch down on near Trafalgar Square. It takes up about 3 floors of this high-rise building, and they must have over 200 employees there."
事实上，我认为在伦敦，他们在特拉法加广场附近有一家分行。它占了一栋高层建筑的三层楼，那里肯定有两百多名员工。”
So, with a specific example, new language comes out: branch, employees, three-storey, high-rise building. Suddenly, it's a different wider set of vocabulary and that's what you want to show off.
举一个具体的例子，新的词汇就用上了：分行、员工、三层、高层建筑。突然间，它就汇集了很多不同的词汇，而这就是你想展示的。
So remember, develop your part 3 answers. Number 9, be as natural as possible.
所以，记住，扩展第三部分的回答。第九，尽可能地自然。
Imagine if you can that the examiner is a new friend you've just met and you're chatting over a coffee. They want to find out some things about you.
如果可以的话，想象一下，考官是你刚认识的一个新朋友，你正在喝咖啡聊天。他们想知道你的一些情况。
You want to tell them some things about yourself. And so, just speak as naturally as you can with the kind of language you would use when speaking naturally.
你想告诉他们一些关于你自己的事情。所以，就像你自然说话时使用的语言一样，尽量自然地说话。
Yes, your focus is on your language, vocabulary, and grammar, but you want to do it in a very natural way not an artificial way. One of the biggest problems many students have is when it comes into an exam, they go into an exam mode.
是的，你的注意力是在你的语言、词汇和语法上，但是你想以一种非常自然的方式来做，而不是一种人工的方式。许多学生面临的最大问题之一是，当开始考试时，他们会进入考试模式。
It's becoming a bit of a robot, right? "So, what do you do?"
他们会开始机器人模式。“你做什么工作？”
"Oh, I am a teacher. I have been teaching for 10 years now. I really enjoy it. It is a, it is a really good job, Di DiDiDi. . ."
“噢，我是一名教师。我已经教书十年了。我真的很喜欢这份工作，这是一份很好的工作，滴滴滴滴滴。”
And you become a little bit robotic. Now, if you were speaking to a friend: "Well, so what do you do?"
然后你就变得有点像机器人。如果你和一个朋友说话：“那么，你是做什么的呢？”
"I'm a teacher actually. Yeah, I've been teaching for around 10 years. It's a pretty good job. Yeah, I kind of enjoy it."
“其实我是一名老师。嗯，我已经教书十年了。这是一份很好的工作，我很喜欢这份工作。”
So, you want to be getting that feeling of naturalness when you speak. Yes, remember, some nice vocabulary but be natural.
所以，当你说话的时候，你要有一种自然的感觉。是的，记住，词汇要高级一些，但要说得自然。
It sounds like an advert for perfume or an advert for soap. Let's go on to the next tip.
听起来像是香水广告或肥皂广告。我们看看下一个技巧。
The last tip, last but not least, is a bit strange, and I know you're gonna think I'm nuts, right, and I'm crazy. But tip number 10 is enjoy the test.
最后一招有点奇怪，我知道你会认为我疯了，对吧，我是疯了。第十招就是享受考试。
Are you crazy? Enjoy the test? It's the most nerve-wracking, horrible experience ever.
你疯了吗？享受考试？这是有史以来最伤脑筋、最可怕的经历。
Well, exactly, and that's the problem. Because you think it is, it probably will be.
嗯，没错，这就是问题所在。因为你认为它是，它可能就是。
But if you think you're gonna enjoy the test, remember that little smile before you work at walk in the room? All of that enjoying your experience there whilst still being alert and awake and producing your best language.
但如果你认为你会享受这次考试，还记得你在走进考场前的那个微笑吗？所有这一切都在享受你在那里的经历，同时保持警觉和清醒，并说出你最好的语言。
Enjoy the test, it will change your behaviour, it will change what's going on up here, something's going on up here for the better. If you can, try and enjoy the test, and it really really does work, believe me, have a go and see.
享受这个测试吧，它会改变你的行为，它会改变这里发生的一切，这里发生的事情会变得更好。如果可以的话，试着享受这个测试，它真的很管用，相信我，试试看吧。
