很多烤鸭对雅思听力的印象都是“中国考生的拉分项”，但是：
- 剑雅真题做了一堆，正确率却没有提升；
- 学来的解题技巧不会用：听着觉得会，一到考试就忘光；
- 词汇听抄练习枯燥、无聊、低效，坚持不下去没提高，而不练又听不懂。
只有技巧，不了解真实考试内容和考点；只做题，不了解雅思听力的出题思路，找不准做题技巧，都很难拿到满意的分数，起到帮其他科目拉分的效果。
事实上，雅思听力高分是可以通过科学练习实现的。
雅思官方提供的听力和阅读备考建议，既然备考周期这么长，更可以从提高英语能力方面去备考雅思，真正提升自己的英语水平。
Listening Tips
1. Set a realistic goal for yourself and do not aim for shortcuts. Don’t expect to progress from low-level to high-level overnight!
Like all skills, becoming proficient in a language takes a lot of time and effort. However, there are many useful strategies you can take:
根据自身情况设立符合实际的目标，切忌盲目寻求捷径。不要幻想在一夜之间取得突飞猛进的进步！
学习英语和学习其它技能一样，需要付出大量的时间和精力才能熟练掌握。不过，有些学习策略可以助你一臂之力：
2. Create a listening routine and stick to it:
制定日常听力练习计划并坚持下去：
a) Listen to something different every day. For example, on Monday – listen to a podcast, on Tuesday – listen to 15 minutes of a news program, on Wednesday – listen to asong, and so on.
每天选择不同的练习材料。例如，周一听英文播客，周二听15分钟的新闻，周三则可以听英文歌曲，以此类推。
b) Listen to something which interests you!
选择自己感兴趣的练习材料！
c) Choose different sources, like elllo.org. A variety of accents and dialects will help you understand better spoken English from around the world.
通过多种不同的渠道（如elllo.org）获取听力资源。了解各种各样的口音和方言有助于你更好地理解世界各地的英语口语。
d) Choose listening materials which fit your level. If you can understand <50% and >90% of the audio, then it is not for you as it is either too easy or too difficult.
TED talks (www.ted.com/talks) are a great way to practice academic listening.
选择适合自己英语水平的听力材料。如果你对自己选择的听力材料能听懂不到50%或者超过90%，那就说明此材料过于简单或者难度过大，不适合用作听力练习材料。
TED演讲(www.ted.com/talks) 非常适合用来练习学术英语听力。
e) Do it when you are most productive during the day – are you a morning or an evening person?
选择一天中效率最高的时候练习听力——你是“早起鸟”还是“夜猫子”呢？
f) Plan your listening activities and cross them off once you’ve completed them.
按计划进行听力练习，每完成一项便划去一项。
g) Listen to something a few times; change the speed.
一段材料反复多听几次，也可做变速练习。
3. Focus on the overall message and do not get frustrated about detail.
重点抓住材料大意，不要过于纠结细节信息。
4. Take notes while you’re listening and go back to discover what expressions or clues in the audio helped you understand the message.
听的过程中注意做笔记，听完后回顾材料中有助于理解信息的表达方式或相关线索。
5. Don’t worry too much about unfamiliar words; if you hear something which is repeated in different sources, look it up in the dictionary and study it.
无需过于担心生疏词汇。如果在不同材料中多次听到某个单词，可以查阅词典学习。
6. Call a friend and discuss issues in English for a set time period (for example, 10 minutes).
给朋友打电话，在规定时间内（比如10分钟）用英语讨论问题。
7. Try to guess questions you haven’t answered. This is especially important for “yes”, “no” or “don’t know” questions as the chance of you getting the right answer by chance is pretty high!
针对尚未答出的问题试着猜测答案，尤其是“是”、“否”或“未提及”类的问题，因为这类问题猜对答案的概率非常高！
8. Before each section you are given time to read the questions. Use this time sensibly and read the questions carefully but not too slowly or the recording will start before you have finished reading.
每一部分听力开始之前，考生都会有一定的时间来阅读问题。合理利用这段时间，仔细阅读问题，但要注意速度不能太慢，以免录音开始前来不及看完所有问题。
9. Be sure to answer with the correct number of words. If the question asks for two or three words, don’t use four or five.
注意按照字数要求回答问题。如果题干要求用两三个单词回答，那就不要用四五个单词。
10. Write clearly. If the examiner cannot ready our writing, then you will get no marks. If you think your writing is bad, use capital letters.
书写整洁、卷面清晰。如果字迹潦草，考官无法辨认，那么你将无法得分。如果你对自己的书写没有信心，可选择用大写字母来拼写单词。
11. During the transferring time first make sure you have transferred all the questions you have answered legibly (easy to read) and in the correct space.
Then go back, review and try to answer the ones you haven’t. Make an educated guess, as your aim should be to have an answer sheet with no blank spaces.
誊写答案时，首先要确保将所有答案全部清晰地誊写到答题卡上的相应位置，然后再回去检查并回答之前未完成的题目，合理推测答案，保证答题卡上没有问题空着不答。
Readning Tips
1. Choose a variety of texts and combine reading for studying with reading for pleasure.
涉猎各类英文文章，在阅读过程中寓学于乐。
2. Spend 20-30 minutes every day reading different texts: newspaper articles, blogs, books, textbook activities.
每天花20-30分钟阅读不同类型的文章，如报纸刊文、博客、书籍、教材练习等。
3. Improve your vocabulary by looking up common words (words you hear a lot) in the dictionary.
通过英文词典查阅常见词汇（经常听到的单词），扩大词汇量。
4. Try different techniques while reading: skim and scan the text quickly, answer questions in detail, summarise the main idea(s).
尝试不同的阅读技巧：快速略读、浏览文章，详细回答问题，总结文章主旨大意。
5. Choose topics of interest but also try to read texts on various topics as IELTS chooses subjects from many fields.
可以选择自己感兴趣的阅读材料，同时也要 广泛阅读不同主题的文章，因为雅思考试的选题范围非常广。
6. Discuss some interesting texts with your friends and exchange ideas in English.
就一些趣味十足的文章内容和朋友进行讨论，并用英语交流各自的观点。
7. Read for speed. Set a timer and try to read a text within the time limit (e.g., 5 mins). Check your understanding. Reduce the time limit as you improve and get faster (e.g.,from 5 mins to 4 mins to 3 mins).
注意提高阅读速度。用计时器定时，尽量在规定时间内(如5分钟)读完一篇文章，并检查自己的理解是否正确。
随着阅读能力不断提升，逐渐缩短阅读时限，以提高自己的阅读速度（例如从5分钟逐渐缩短为4分钟、3分钟）。
8. Read aloud with your friends or even by yourself. You could record yourself if you wish. Listen to how you sound. This will help with your fluency and pronunciation. It will also build your self-confidence.
独自或者和朋友一起大声朗读文章，可以边朗读边录音，然后通过听录音检查并提升自己的流利度和发音，这样也有助于你增强自信心。
9. Familiarise yourself with the style of the exam and how long each part takes. You need to develop skills to answer each type of question in the reading examination. Questions could take the form of any of the following:
熟悉考试风格以及各部分所需要花费的时间。你需要培养相关答题技巧，以便熟练回答阅读部分的各类题型。
