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，我要给大家看一段视频，这段视频来自我的新课程。这是 udemy 上的一个在线课程，这个视频就是你在那门课上看到的那种视频。
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.
都是关于口语评分的。那么，雅思考试到底是如何评估和评分的，你需要做些什么才能拿到7分呢。听听视频怎么说吧。
So, in this video, we're looking at what the examiner is listening for. So, what and how will they evaluate your English?
在本视频中，我们来看看考官在听什么。那么，他们会怎样评价你的英语呢？
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.
雅思口语考试是在一个房间里进行的，是一对一的形式。他们会问你问题，同一个人评价你的语言。
They will only evaluate the language you produce. They cannot guess what you mean.
他们只会评估你所说的语言。他们猜不出你的意思。
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，千万不要想“哦，他们知道我的意思”，不，他们不知道，他们也不会尝试。所以，确保你能说足够多的话，确保你说得足够清楚和大声，这样他们就能听到你并对你做出评估。
So, the examiner will evaluate four things in the exam, okay. Fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
考官会在考试中评估四个方面。流利度、词汇、语法和发音。
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.
让我们更详细地看一下每一个。首先，流利度，在这里，考官可能会看三个方面：说话的容易程度，犹豫和重复，以及连接词。
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."
说话的容易程度基本上就是你连接句子的容易程度。如果我说，“嗯，我来自曼彻斯特。这是一个美丽的城市。它在英格兰北部，我在那里住了很长时间。”
It's a nice smooth flow, good fluency, okay. Be careful, fluency is not speed. You do not have to speak fast.
这句话非常流畅，很流利。但要小心，流利不意味着速度。你不必说得很快。
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.
然后是犹豫。额，额，犹豫就是，额，噢，额......这就是犹豫。重复——你重复重复重复再重复。
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，你需要听你自己说的话，可以录下来，注意自己的犹豫和重复。例如：我，我，我住在，我住在曼彻斯特。
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.
现在当你回放和听的时候，你会注意到你有多犹豫和重复。所以，试着减少“额”和重复。
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.
下一个是连接——就是连接你句子的单词。例如“and/but/then/also/too/however/so”，这些都是连词，你需要使用相当多和范围很广的口语连接词而不是书面学术连接词。
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.
那么就流利性而言，7分的口语的要求是这样的：毫不费力地讲话；有时会犹豫；灵活地使用一系列连接词。我们继续看词汇。
For vocabulary, there are five things to look at. So, we have the range, the mistakes, idiomatic expressions, collocation, and paraphrase.
对于词汇，需要注意五方面。包括范围、错误、习惯表达、搭配和释义。
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.
我们一个个来看。范围就是你使用的词汇范围，范围小的，例如，“air pollution is bad for the air”，或者，你的词汇范围很广，“air pollution is bad for the air”，词汇范围很重要。
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，错误。有时候我们会把动词和形容词搞混，或者把形容词和名词搞混。所以，要小心像“air pollutes is badly for air”这样的错误。小心这些错误。
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".
第三是习惯表达，这些非常重要。它们包括习语、谚语、动词短语，所以复习一下你的惯用表达方式，不要“认输”，你就能“一帆风顺”地通过考试。
It's good to use them, maybe not too many, but use some. Next, we have collocation. You need to be aware of collocation.
使用它们有好处，但不要用太多，用一些。然后是搭配。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".
我们说“do a shower”，“make a shower”，“have a shower”，“get a shower”，“become a shower”吗？对，“have a shower”。
It's the words that go together. You need a good awareness of collocation.
在是单词的搭配使用。你必须非常了解搭配。
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.
最后，释义，这就是当你不认识某个单词时，你将它表达出来能力，也许你忘记了这个单词，但是你不能说“哦，我不知道该怎么说。”你得想办法表达你的想法。
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.
比如说，前几天我在修一个插头，我需要一个金属的长条东西来帮助我拧开顶部，然后我就能修好它。“那个用金属的长条东西，可以拧开顶部”，好吧，我忘了这是螺丝刀，但我可以解释，而要得到7分的关键是你可以有效地解释它的意思。
So, let's look then at what we need for a band 7: uses vocabul
ary 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.
那么，让我们来看看我们对7分的要求：灵活运用词汇来讨论各种话题，使用不太常见和惯用的词汇，表现出搭配意识，能够有效地释义。很好。现在我们来看看语法。
For grammar, there are three things the examiner will be listening. For simple or complex structures, flexible use, and mistakes.
对于语法，考官会听三个方面。简单或复杂结构，灵活使用，还有错误。
So, what do we mean by "simple"? Well basically, a simple structure is one clause and one tense.
“简单”是什么意思呢？简单结构基本上就是单一从句和单一时态。
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.单一的从句，单一的时态。而复杂结构通常是一个以上的从句，可能是两个或三个，以及一个以上的时态和不同的时态。
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.关系从句，两个从句。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.
更复杂的句子，好的，三个从句，不同的时态。那就是复杂结构。
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，能灵活运用分句和时态，且很少出错。7分的要求是这样的：使用了一系列具有灵活性的复杂结构，具有一定的灵活性，并且有频繁出现的无错误句子。
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.
我们继续。现在我们看看发音，考官会注重三个方面。一系列的发音、你对发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.
那么，我们说说口音。你可以有各种口音，中式、印度、加拿大、美国、英国、巴西、德国。
Accent is okay, you can even get a 9 with an accent. It's about your control of the pronunciation features of English, okay.
口音没问题，就算你有口音，你都可以拿到九分。只要你控制好你的英语发音。
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?
要注意这些发音，尤其是单个发音：ow, now, know, now, take, tea，元音和辅音。单词重读，present/przent/，present/preznt/。你重读的部分。
Sentence stress is really important. Each of these sentences has a different meaning.
句子重读非常重要。这些句子的每一个都有不同的意思。
I don't live in London. I DON'T live in London.
【我】不住在伦敦。我【不】住在伦敦。
I don't LIVE in London. I don't live IN London.
我不【住】在伦敦。我不住【在】伦敦。
I don't live in LONDON. Right? So, where you put the stress changes the meaning, five slightly different meanings.
我不住在【伦敦】。对吧？你重读的位置会改变意思，五个稍微不同的意思。
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.
然后是连音。就是我们把两个单词连起来读。如果一个单词以辅音结尾，下一个单词以元音开头，我们通常会将它们连接起来读。
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.
当你重复的时候，你会听到它的发音，“wake up early”。把注意力放在发音上比放在单词上要重要得多。
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.
这就是为什么听音频比大声朗读好的原因。听音频，专注于发音，wake up early。
Finally, intonation. Intonation is difficult to practice.
最后，语调。语调很难练习。
You just need to listen lots and lots of lots, but for example, listen to the difference here, okay. That's great.
你要大量地听，例如，听听下面的不同。
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.
用语调可以表示“这非常好”，或者“这非常糟糕”。所以，语调很重要。
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".
那么，对于7分的要求是什么呢？嗯，“发音良好，具有良好的控制发音的能力并能维持较长时间，在整个过程中都能被理解”。
