- So many students worry about how to introduce themselves to the examiner.
- 许多学生担心如何向考官介绍自己。
And what's actually going to happen on test day when you're doing your IELTS speaking test.
当您进行雅思考试时，考试当天实际会发生什么。
And this can actually cause many students to get a lower score than they deserve.
而这实际上会导致许多学生得到低于他们应得的分数。
So what I'm gonna do in this video is take you from leaving your home all the way to part one of the speaking test.
所以我要在这个视频中做的是带你离开你的家一直到口语测试的一部分。
Exactly what is going to happen, how to introduce yourself, what's gonna happen at the test center.
到底会发生什么，如何自我介绍，考试中心会发生什么。
And a few vital pieces of information that will help you perform to the best of your ability.
还有一些重要信息可以帮助您发挥最大的能力。
So this is the examiner on test day, and this is your home.
所以这是考试当天的考官，这是你的家。
I am much better at teaching IELTS than I am at drawing.
我在教雅思方面比在绘画方面要好得多。
I'm terrible at drawing, so forgive the drawings.
我画画很烂，所以请原谅画画。
So really your preparation starts about 48 hours before your test.
所以实际上，您的准备工作大约在考试前 48 小时开始。
So about 48 hours before your test, the first thing is do not cram.
所以在考试前大约 48 小时，第一件事就是不要补习。
What does cram mean?
cram 是什么意思？
It means do not try and study as much as possible in the days leading up to your speaking test.
这意味着在口语考试前的日子里，不要尝试尽可能多地学习。
You are not going to improve your speaking ability whatsoever in the days, leading up to your speaking test.
在口语测试之前的日子里，您不会提高口语能力。
If you cram and you're sitting up all night studying and trying to frantically find out how to improve your speaking score, it will actually lower your speaking score because you will get desperate, and you will go onto YouTube and be looking for tips and tricks and hacks and shortcuts.
如果你死记硬背， 彻夜不眠地学习并疯狂地寻找如何提高你的口语分数，它实际上会降低你的口语分数， 因为你会感到绝望，你会去 YouTube 上寻找提示和技巧和技巧和捷径。
And most of the stuff about the speaking test online is totally false and will lower your score.
而且网上关于口语考试的大部分内容都是完全错误的，会降低你的分数。
So do not do this.
所以不要这样做。
What you can do instead is something that we call an English warmup.
你可以做的是我们称之为英语热身的事情。
So just like an athlete would warm up before a big event.
所以就像运动员在大型赛事前热身一样。
What you can do is watch some English movies or English TV shows, or listen to some podcasts in English, or read an English book, something like that, nothing too strenuous, nothing too difficult, but just a warm yourself up if you want to do something before your test day.
你可以看一些英文电影或者英文电视剧，或者听一些英文播客，或者读一本英文书，诸如此类，不要太费力，不要太难，只要你想热身就可以了在考试前做某事。
Also you might not consider this, but sleep and diet are really important.
你也可能不会考虑这一点，但睡眠和饮食真的很重要。
We've had students who really deserve a band eight or a band nine, and they've got a 6.5 because they didn't sleep very well the night before, or they didn't eat that morning.
我们有一些学生真的应该得到八分或九分，他们得了 6.5， 因为他们前一天晚上没睡好，或者他们那天早上没吃东西。
And they got to the test center and they just couldn't do anything because if you don't sleep well and you don't have anything in your stomach, you're not going to have the focus and the energy to actually perform at your best.
他们到了考试中心， 但他们什么也做不了， 因为如果你睡不好， 肚子里什么也没有，你就不会集中精力和精力去参加考试。 尽力而为。
So make sure that you're getting enough sleep in the days, leading up to your test.
因此，请确保您在考试前的日子里有充足的睡眠。
And you're just eating a healthy diet.
你只是在吃健康的饮食。
So 24 hours before your test.
所以在考试前 24 小时。
So the day before your test, it's really important that you plan your journey.
因此，在考试前一天，计划您的旅程非常重要。
You wouldn't believe the number of students that show up late to their speaking test.
您不会相信有多少学生在口语考试中迟到。
And if you show up late, you're going to be very sweaty, you're going to be very stressed.
如果你迟到，你会大汗淋漓，压力会很大。
And again, if you deserve a band seven and you show up late and you're very stressed, you're probably going to get a 6.5 or six.
再说一次，如果你应该得到七分， 但你迟到了而且压力很大，你可能会得到 6.5 或 6 分。
That's not the fault of the examiner, that's your fault.
那不是考官的错，那是你的错。
It doesn't matter if there was bad traffic, that's your fault for not planning your journey, or the bus was late, or the train was late, or whatever it is your responsibility to get to the test center on time.
如果交通不畅并不重要，那是你没有计划好你的旅程的错，或者公共汽车晚点， 或者火车晚点，或者任何你有责任准时到达考试中心的事情。
So plan your journey.
所以计划你的旅程。
How are you going to get there?
你怎么去那里？
Are you going to use public transport?
你打算使用公共交通工具吗？
Are you going to use your own transport?
你打算使用自己的交通工具吗？
Are you relying on someone else to bring you to the test center?
您是否依靠其他人将您带到考试中心？
Do they know how important it is that you get there on time?
他们知道您准时到达那里有多重要吗？
Make sure that you get there at least 30 minutes before your actual test starts.
确保在实际考试开始前至少 30 分钟到达那里。
Because when you get there, it's going to be extremely busy.
因为当你到达那里时，它会非常繁忙。
There's going to be a lot of people who don't know what they're doing, who are very stressed out.
会有很多人不知道自己在做什么，他们压力很大。
Often the staff at the exam centers are not very good at their jobs and they're stressed out.
考试中心的工作人员通常不擅长他们的工作，而且他们压力很大。
So if you get there very early and get through the whole registration process relatively stress-free, then you can perform to the best of your ability.
因此， 如果您很早就到达那里并且相对轻松地完成了整个注册过程，那么您就可以发挥最大的能力。
And make sure that you pack your ID and water, and if you need food, if you need medication, whatever I don't know, whatever you need in order to perform to the best of your ability, pack that into a bag the day before.
并确保你带上你的身份证和水，如果你需要食物， 如果你需要药物，无论我不知道什么， 无论你需要什么来发挥你的最佳能力，当天把它们装进一个袋子里前。
So it's just one less thing to worry about, okay.
所以这只是一件少担心的事情，好吧。
So on the day of the test, you wanna get to the test center at least 30 minutes before you need to register.
因此，在考试当天，您需要至少在报名前 30 分钟到达考试中心。
And you're gonna go in and the staff at the test center will register you.
你要进去，考试中心的工作人员会给你登记。
They'll also allow you to, you know, if you have a bike, if you have any belongings, they will give you a locker or a key or somewhere to keep your belongings, keep your bags safe.
他们还允许你，你知道，如果你有自行车， 如果你有任何物品，他们会给你一个储物柜或钥匙或某个地方来存放你的物品，确保你的行李安全。
So don't worry about bringing all this stuff.
所以不用担心带来所有这些东西。
You don't have to bring it into the exam room.
您不必将其带入考场。
You'll then be asked to go to some kind of a waiting room where you will wait outside the test room, and wait for the examiner to call you.
然后，您将被要求前往某种等候室， 在那里您将在考场外等候，并等待考官给您打电话。
So make sure you use the toilet if you need to use the toilet.
因此，如果您需要使用厕所，请务必使用厕所。
Again, it sounds very funny, but this has led to people failing their tests.
同样，这听起来很有趣，但这导致人们无法通过测试。
Or they are very nervous, they don't know where the toilet is, they don't go to the toilet and then they're focused on not peeing themselves rather than answering the questions.
或者他们非常紧张， 他们不知道厕所在哪里，他们不去厕所然后他们专注于不小便而不是回答问题。
It sounds ridiculous, but it does happen.
这听起来很荒谬，但它确实发生了。
And you need to do something while you're waiting outside this room to relax.
当你在这个房间外面等待放松时，你需要做点什么。
That could be breathing, that could be some kind of meditation, whatever works for you.
那可以是呼吸，也可以是某种冥想，任何适合你的都行。
But if you sit outside the exam room and just think about how terrible your speaking is, and you're going to fail, and you're just thinking of very very negative thoughts that is going to influence your performance.
但是如果你坐在考场外面， 想想你的演讲有多糟糕，你就会失败， 而你只是在想会影响你表现的非常非常消极的想法。
So you need something to take your mind off those negative thoughts.
所以你需要一些东西来让你的思想摆脱那些消极的想法。
And what I would do is what we advise our students to do is tell yourself how much preparation you've done.
我会做的是我们建议我们的学生做的是告诉自己你做了多少准备。
Think about how good you are at speaking the English language.
想一想您说英语的水平如何。
You deserve to get the score that you need because you've put in the work, right?
你应该得到你需要的分数，因为你付出了努力，对吧？
And also accept that nerves, so being nervous, being anxious, this is normal.
还要接受那种紧张，所以紧张、焦虑，这是正常的。
This is your body preparing you physiologically for a stressful situation.
这是您的身体在生理上为应对压力情况做好准备。
So it's going to dump adrenaline into your system.
所以它会把肾上腺素注入你的系统。
And that is why you feel nervous.
这就是你感到紧张的原因。
So just observe that as something that is good, because it's going to help you focus.
所以只要把它当作一件好事来观察，因为它会帮助你集中注意力。
So be aware that that is happening to you.
所以请注意，这正在发生在你身上。
It will happen to you, but you use it in a positive way.
它会发生在你身上，但你会以积极的方式使用它。
And then the examiner is going to come out of this door.
然后考官就要从这扇门出来。
And they're going to invite you in to the test room.
他们将邀请您进入测试室。
Now, I haven't put a smiley face here for a reason.
现在，我没有在这里放笑脸是有原因的。
Many students think that if the examiner is not friendly, or the examiner is not smiling, that it means that the examiner is going to give them a low score or the examiner doesn't like them, or the examiners in a bad mood, and they're going to automatically give you a lower score.
很多同学认为如果考官态度不友善，或者考官不笑， 就说明考官要给自己打低分， 或者考官不喜欢自己，或者考官心情不好， 他们会自动给你一个较低的分数。
The examiner is doing their job.
考官正在做他们的工作。
Some of them are friendly, some of them are not so friendly that has no influence over your performance and over your score.
其中一些很友好，有些则不太友好，不会影响您的表现和分数。
What influences your score is your performance, not the mood or whether the examiner has a big smile on their face or not.
影响分数的是你的表现，而不是情绪或考官脸上是否挂着灿烂的笑容。
So how do you greet the examiner?
那么怎么跟考官打招呼呢？
That's the title of this video and many of the videos that you'll find on YouTube and blogs and stuff like that will tell you to greet the examiner in a very specific way.
这是该视频的标题，您可以在 YouTube 和博客上找到许多类似的视频，它们会告诉您以非常具体的方式向考官打招呼。
And if you greet the examiner in a certain way, you will improve your score.
如果你以某种方式向考官打招呼，你的分数就会提高。
That is total BS.
那是完全的废话。
It does not matter how you greet them.
你如何迎接他们并不重要。
It's simply does not matter.
根本无所谓。
They are not even thinking about your score right now.
他们现在甚至都没有考虑你的分数。
The test only begins after they ask the first question in part one.
测试仅在他们提出第一部分的第一个问题后才开始。
Any teacher or YouTuber or so-called expert that is teaching you that if you greet the examiner in a certain way, you'll get a higher score.
任何教你的老师或 YouTuber 或所谓的专家， 如果你以某种方式向考官打招呼，你会得到更高的分数。
They have never been an examiner.
他们从来没有当过考官。
and they don't know what they're doing.
他们不知道自己在做什么。
Because anyone who has been an examiner knows that you do not score the student until you ask the first question in part one.
因为任何当过考官的人都知道，你在第一部分问第一个问题之前，不会给学生打分。
But one thing that you should do is speak to them like they are human.
但是您应该做的一件事就是像对待人一样与他们交谈。
The examiner is not special.
考官不是特别的。
They are not more intelligent than you are.
他们并不比你聪明。
They are not more important than you are.
他们并不比你重要。
If they were very intelligent and very important, they wouldn't be an IELTS examiner in a foreign country, listening to you on a Saturday morning.
如果他们非常聪明， 非常重要，他们就不会在国外做雅思考官，在周六早上听你讲课。
They are a human being.
他们是一个人。
This is not going to influence your score, speaking to them like a human being, but it's going to help you relax.
这不会影响你的分数，像一个人一样和他们说话，但它会帮助你放松。
And if you're relaxed and just speaking to them like you would a normal human, then your pronunciation, your fluency, your grammar, your vocabulary is all going to naturally be better.
如果你放松下来，像正常人一样和他们说话，那么你的发音、流利度、语法和词汇量自然会变得更好。
Because our brains operate more fluidly more effectively when we're not stressed, when we're not nervous.
因为当我们没有压力、不紧张时，我们的大脑会更流畅、更有效地运作。
If you think that the examiner is this really important person, and you need to speak to them like they are, you know, the president of the country that you're currently in that is nonsense and you're going to speak to them in a very robotic unnatural academic formal way.
如果你认为考官是这个非常重要的人，你需要像他们一样和他们说话，你知道，你现在所在国家的总统那是胡说八道， 你要和他们说话一种非常机器人不自然的学术正式方式。
IELTS are not judging your ability to speak in that way.
雅思不会以这种方式判断您的说话能力。
They're judging your ability to speak just normally to normal people.
他们是在评判你与普通人正常交谈的能力。
So speak to them like they're a human being that's going to help you relax and everything will be much better if you do that.
所以和他们说话就像他们是一个会帮助你放松的人一样，如果你这样做，一切都会好得多。
So they'll ask you to sit down and you'll sit down opposite them, and they will be recording what you are saying already.
所以他们会请你坐下， 你会坐在他们对面，他们会把你说的话录下来。
Even though the recording, what you're saying already, they don't use this to judge your score.
即使录音，你已经在说什么，他们也不会用它来判断你的分数。
Your score doesn't begin until they ask you the first question in part one, but don't be put off by this.
直到他们问你第一部分的第一个问题， 你的分数才会开始，但不要因此而推迟。
Also, they might make some notes.
此外，他们可能会做一些笔记。
Don't worry about what notes they make.
不要担心他们做了什么笔记。
So it's a very common thing that the examiner will write numbers.
所以考官会写数字是很常见的事情。
So it might be a number like the timing or something like that.
所以它可能是一个数字，比如时间或类似的东西。
And you will look at it and think, oh my God, they wrote down five, I'm at a band five.
你会看着它然后想，天啊，他们写了五，我在五级。
Or they might write down nine, and you think that you've got a band nine.
或者他们可能会写下九，而你认为你已经达到了九级。
These have nothing to do with your score.
这些与你的分数无关。
So ignore the notes that they're making.
所以忽略他们正在做的笔记。
They'll then ask you if they can like double check your ID, hand it to them, you don't have to worry about this.
然后他们会问你是否可以仔细检查你的身份证，把它交给他们， 你不必担心这个。
And then they'll ask you two questions.
然后他们会问你两个问题。
What's your name?
你叫什么名字？
Just tell them your name.
只要告诉他们你的名字。
There is no special way of telling your name.
没有特殊的方式说出您的名字。
That's not that complicated.
那没那么复杂。
And then they'll say, what can I call you?
然后他们会说，我可以怎么称呼你？
And you just say, you can call me whatever, whatever your name is, whatever you want to be called.
你只是说，你可以随便叫我，不管你的名字是什么，无论你想叫什么。
Again there's no special way of saying this.
同样，没有特殊的说法。
Just tell them you're not being judged yet.
告诉他们你还没有被评判。
Then part one will begin and they will ask you about some common topics.
然后第一部分开始，他们会问你一些常见的话题。
So home, home town, work or study.
所以家，家乡，工作或学习。
A very common mistake that many students make is because they're anticipating these topics.
许多学生犯的一个非常常见的错误是因为他们期待这些主题。
They will memorize answers for these topics.
他们会记住这些主题的答案。
Do not do this.
不要这样做。
If you do this, what you will do is you will indicate to the examiner that you don't know how to speak English, because memorization and communication are two very very different things.
如果你这样做， 你会向考官表明你不会说英语，因为记忆和交流是两个非常不同的事情。
And you're basically giving the examiner the first impression that you were trying to cheat the test.
你基本上给考官的第一印象是你试图在考试中作弊。
And what will happen is you will give a very long memorized answer for one of these common topics, with lots of great vocabulary and lots of great grammar, and you're very fluent.
将会发生的是， 您将为这些常见主题之一给出一个很长的记忆答案，其中包含很多很棒的词汇和很多很棒的语法，而且您非常流利。
Then they'll ask you about some unusual topics.
然后他们会问你一些不寻常的话题。
Why do you think they do that?
你认为他们为什么这样做？
Why do you think, they'll say, do you like hats?
为什么你认为，他们会说，你喜欢帽子？
Or when was the last time you bought a birthday cake?
或者你最后一次买生日蛋糕是什么时候？
They will ask you about these more unusual topics, because they know that you're not expecting these.
他们会问你这些更不寻常的话题，因为他们知道你不会期待这些。
You don't have memorized answers for these, and they will judge you on your answer for the more unusual topics.
你没有记住这些的答案，他们会根据你对更不寻常的主题的回答来判断你。
In other words, they answered that you did not memorize.
换句话说，他们回答说你没有背。
So just again, speak to them like they're a human.
所以再一次，像对待人一样与他们交谈。
If a human asked you, do you work or do you study or tell me about your home town, you would just answer naturally.
如果一个人问你， 你工作还是学习， 或者告诉我你的家乡，你会很自然地回答。
And it's also important to realize that the first few questions in part one are just a warmup.
同样重要的是要认识到第一部分中的前几个问题只是一个热身。
They're a warmup for you because just like again, like an athlete, you need to relax into the test.
它们对您来说是热身，因为就像运动员一样，您需要在测试中放松。
The examiner is considering what you're saying, but they're not judging you too harshly at the beginning of part one, because they know they're just warming up.
考官正在考虑你所说的内容，但他们不会在第一部分开始时对你做出过于严厉的评判，因为他们知道他们只是在热身。
This also gives the examiner a chance to warm up and get used to your accent, your style of speaking, your pronunciation and focusing on what's actually happening.
这也让考官有机会热身并习惯你的口音、说话风格、发音并关注实际发生的事情。
So that's it hope that you enjoyed this video.
