标题: 感谢ETS,感谢Pat
刚给十天的作者报了喜,感谢他在我最彷徨的时候鼓励我。虽然我没上过他的课,也没读完他的书,但是他的鼓励在最关键的时候,给了我足够的力量。

当时,我写信给他,题目是Punch Me or Pinch Me, Just to Make Me Strong Again. 他回——

Dear reader,

Obviously you have been stressed out by the frustrations the test score gave you. Just take it a bit easier. Keep trying. Four 7s is not a matter of the probability of 50/50.  It's more like a 1/4, right?

And yes, a guru may feel frustrated too sometimes. But he bounces back more quickly.

Regards,

Pat

不是讲师,呵呵,就是一普通家庭妇女,绝望主妇。

在珠海曾经想当英孚的讲师来着,全英文试讲完了,反应强烈,都说,长见识啊,当时给他们将职业规划。后来说招不上学生,就搁浅了。我也不会教小孩儿,蹦来蹦去我眼晕。

回北京就想干点别的,不想教书了。将来读个CELTA以备万一。

英语培训市场很热啊~
不过英孚的薪水不如一些小培训公司来的多。
我明年也打算先拿TESOL/TEFL试试看。

标题: 7分写作
阅读和听力不说了。
说说写作。
如果你已经考过一次雅思并且只有写作不够分,建议不用看别的了,专心准备写作。其它上下浮动不会超过半分。另外,

第一,不要用模板,误人子弟。
第二,战略上藐视,战术上重视。要胆大心细,言之有物,思想独特,自圆其说。
第三,精读Economist的网站评论文章,认真体会其用此语法行文风格观点等,记下适合自己的句型和起承转合方法。
第四,练习四五篇大小作文,按照时间写,先写个提纲骨架,记得用那种考试用的铅笔。之后再认真琢磨修改到自己的最好水平,和7分范文对比,找出差距。
第五,考试当天早上喝一罐加强红牛,有助于集中精力,调动思想。

标题: 7分口语
言为心声,你是一个成熟有趣的人么?
你认同西方的文化价值观么?
你善于讲故事么?
你善于阐述自己的观点么?
你对自己的职业规划有什么想法?
你对孩子的教育有什么想法?
你对人生的意义有什么想法?
你到底有没有想法?
沟通能力如何?
分寸感?
你是一个热爱生活的强者么?
怎么处理困难?
什么对你最重要?
成功的标准?
幸福的定义?
理想和现实的差距?
理财么?
善于做什么?
欣赏谁?
喜欢什么?
什么是最重要的?

所有的所有,雅思的问题,都指向你的思想和成熟度。语言只是一个工具。要给考官留下好印象,可以结合自己的优势,强调你对生活的热爱和对别人的欣赏,有上进心或者善于观察,有想法,等等。

考试的时候,回答问题反应要快,一边说一边想,;
可以看一些别的地方不用总盯着考官,但思路捋顺了一定要把眼神收回来看着他说,这样显得你自信;
可以用一些想说服对方时候惯用的手势或者自己思考的时候习惯的动作,但不要模仿美剧里面的耸肩等夸张动作和表情,因为你不习惯的话反而做出来很滑稽;
如果觉得说下去有困难可以换个角度接着说,如果能让对方感觉你的诚意和认真,并且言之有物,就不会因为这个丢分。
可以适当反问,或者小感慨一下,争取得到共鸣或至少让对方有所反应,不然即使流利也会像背书。
少说废话,增加你讲话的信息量,这才是交流的王道。

标题: 回复 #13 挖按 的帖子
多读,泛读精读,集中精力提高记忆力,创造机会增加遇到新词的几率,如读同类文章。
研究上下文,理解生词的用法,头脑中快速过滤考试时写作口语是否用得上,用得上就记住拼写,用不上就不用记了。
遇到近义词,第一时间搞明白区别,什么时候用什么词。
理解老外文章对简单动词的不简单用法,对口语非常有用。
经常自言自语,遇到生词说不出就去查最好的表达,然后记住。

是英语专业,是第二次考,第一次8/8.5/6/8。

珠海英孚的学生都是少年和幼儿,成人很少,有的话基础也差,不需要用全英文授课。
而且,很多企业都是这样的,同样的工作老外和local做,pay会差至少一倍。我按照北京的市场价格要求,那个美音很浓的local教学总监说如果能够招到雅思学生,应该付得起。
可是他们楼上就是一家环球雅思。
所以....

我还到一家名为空中英语的培训学校试讲过,当时的学生和老师都十分景仰,还夸赞我要人有人要才有才,我甚至还亲自去追问了两次,每次都被告知,我们一定联系你。后来就不了了之了。
这个我可以理解,因为那个面试我的女老师,雅思口语估计顶多6。
我压根就不应该拿她的话当真,呵呵。

Essay One ----
A public event will be held in your community, and you think your friend will be interested in it. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter, you should say:
1). introduce the event;
2). why you think your friend will be interested in it;
3). when and where to meet each other when attending this event.

Dear Joan,

I’m writing to invite you to the impending fashion show due on Saturday, Oct. 30, 8pm to 9pm.

The fashion show is one of the events scheduled for a series of activities aimed at providing a variety of entertainment to the local residents in my area. It is jointly held by the design institute and local resident committee. In fact, the clothes on show will be the finished products of our students’ design and will be marked and commented by judges. I know you have always been interested in fashion and catwalk, and we have not seen each other yet since you got back from France. So why not join me in the show and have some fun together?

I will be acting the role of one of the judges. But I’ll be sure to arrange a seat for you close to mine, and after the show we can have a drink and a good chat, as in old days. I will be with all my ears to your romantic and exotic experiences in France. Of course, you are welcome to bring friends along. That case, we can chat at some other time.

So please RSVP by next Wednesday and let me know your plan, so that I can arrange courier of tickets to your place beforehand.

Cheers for now,
Laura

Essay Two ----
Fast food is becoming one part of people’ s daily life everywhere, and this has had negative effects on our lifestyles and diet. Do you agree with this statement?

That fast food has become a fixed recipe in our daily life is so commonplace that people begin to take it for granted. Albeit convenient and time-saving, fast food seems to me more of a compromise choice in a reconciliation.

Admittedly, the popularity of fast food comes from its accessibility, cost effectiveness and standard services. KFC once conducted a survey to find out the mainstay of its customers. Results led to three groups ---- students, singles and workaholics. Indeed, in this fast tempo world, those who are not taken care of but can not afford time taking care of themselves may find fast food a blessing from God. Fast food keeps them from starving and survives them through the bumpy years of hard-working while being single.

However, to those who have a voluntary choice, fast food is not appealing in the least. First of all, people live for fun. We need something palatable, delicate and innovative rather than just grabbing a bite for each. The cliché recipes and menus of fast food restaurants, namely hamburger, chips and fried chicken for western ones or noodle and rice for Chinese ones, seem like the oil tanks labeled 93# or 97# in the gas station. People take fast food without appreciating it or enjoying it. Pointing fingers at the set meals, taking the plate to a corner and, in most cases, looking out of the window while eating alone, don’t these sound all too pathetic? More importantly, as the recipes are dull, the nutrition taken in by fast food consumers is limited. Therefore, the more addicted to fast food, the more likely one gets vulnerable to obesity and diseases. Just think of the cases which brought the fast food giants to court in the patches where they operate and how much compensation was asked to be paid for the damage made to loyal consumers.

By way of conclusion, in my opinion, fast food is neither poison nor gourmet. It’s something merely existing in the modern society to help those helpless. Take it to fill up the stomach, all well and good. But be vigilant not to get addicted, as it can not provide the love and care and fun for life.

Essay One ----
You are going to move out of the current living place. Write a letter about your accommodation to your English-speaking colleague who will be coming next month
1) why you are going to move out;
2) describe the accommodation;
3) why it's suitable for your colleague

Dear Stephanie,

At long last it has been finalized that you will be transferred to our Beijing office next month. I wish to extend my warmest welcome to you. I’m sure you will enjoy your stay and work in this city.

As I mentioned to you during my last visit to the Shanghai office, I’ve decided to move back to my mothers’ place. I hope my accompany can help comfort her emotional loss.
However, I hate to leave the apartment I’m currently renting, as I’ve grown to like this patch of mine. Although it’s not big with only one bedroom, it’s pretty new, pleasantly decorated, fully functional and very comfortable. The windows and platforms provide a spectacular view of the city and the river. Sight-seeing at night in the bedroom is breathtaking. And what I enjoy most is watching sunset from the sitting room. Above all this, it’s only 2 minutes’ walk from the subway station and four stops from the World Trade Tower, where our office is.

As I guess you’ll be wishing to find a place to settle down, I suggest you come and see my place. In case you like it and wish to take it, I can help contact the property owner so that you can sign a contract with him. I’ll stay out of this. But I wish I could move back when you leave in two years time. Who knows? Maybe I will be able to buy one for myself at that time. But anyway, it’s a lovely place to live in.

Let me know if you are interested. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Yours,
Laura

Essay Two ----
People say that a child's success is dependent on the way parents bring them up. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

What creates success for a person has long been a confusing topic. Talents, efforts, perseverance and opportunities are factors that have normally been taken into consideration. However, what I wish to discuss today is how much relevant one’s success is to the way he/she has been brought up. In my opinion, the two elements are relevant, but it’s hard to say whether the proportion is direct or inverse.

Children are affected by their parents in two ways --- how they behave as adults and how they treat their children. Either moral or evil, parents tend to influence their descendents. Typically, children from intellectual families are likely to be polite and educated; and children embedded in family violence tend to be lack of self-control.

However, despite of the “like father, like son” theory, some children are clever enough to find a way out of unfavorable family conditions for prospects for success. Strangely enough, from a bad thing, some people learn to do it, while some others learn not to do it. That’s why we have policemen and criminals. Even for those who do not have parents, success is possible. A telling example would be the prototype for the movie depicting an orphan millionaire arising from the Indian ghetto.

In summary, I’m convinced that although parenting is important for the development and potential success of a child, equally essential for the child is to judge what to learn and what not to learn. What kind of person one wants to be and what dream one has, these are the questions to be asked, rather than what one’s parents are like and what they can do to help.

你可以先看题目,一般题目和文章顺序是一样的,一道一道找题,这样也不必全读完所有文章。但那个对于T、F和NG的题目比较容易混乱。所以,主要还是要锻炼自己的阅读速度。

锻炼英文阅读速度,主要是注意不要被生词影响进度,就像读中文一样,连猜带蒙根据上下语境读过去,告诉自己放过它,不会影响理解,你会发现的确影响不大。这对看原版小说培养语感很有帮助。如果一个一个词去查就很难有兴趣读下去了。

标题: 7分写作练习——系列三
Essay One ----
Your friend who is going to further her study abroad is hesitant to choose the majors between business management and music. Write a letter to offer some suggestions. In your letter,
1). explain how you feel when you receive her letter
2). explain the benefits of both subjects
3). give your suggestion

Dear Joan,

Sorry for the late reply. I was on a vacation to Bintan last week. Anyway, thanks for your trust in asking me concerning this. If, in any way, my words can be of any help, that would be more than a relief to me.

Business management or music, it’s a question. You know I graduated from INSEAD, so business management sounds less mysterious than music to me. But in your case, things may be a little complicated.

That your parents stay out of this decision-making really surprises me, as you are the only child they have and they definitely need someone to help them run the business in the future. On a second thought, they may love you too much to push you too far too fast. At the very least, whatever you choose to learn, you may still find another half who understands business operation and can pick up the baton of the family business.

So, taking all those into consideration, I guess I have come to a conclusion. But you may have not. In that case, stop being wearying of this and just follow your instinct. After all, you are still young and have no problem affording both majors. It’s just a matter of time, money and order. No big deal, isn’t it?

I hope you can enjoy whatever you choose in the coming years. Let’s keep in touch. I wish to show you my Bintan pictures soon.

Cheers for now,
Laura

Essay Two ----
Nowadays, increasing countries are confronted with the disappearance of cooking skills. What is the situation in your country? Do you agree that the young children should be taught home cooking in school?

Without even noticing it, people across the globe begin to lose the traditional cooking skills that that parents and parents of parents are proud of, and choose to dine outside more and more often, least among Chinese youngsters.

Digging into the root of this phenomenon, we see a couple of reasons emerge as answers. Needless to say, the one-child policy in place for a while accounts for no less than 50 percent. With only one child, either boy or girl, parents naturally take good care of him/her, leaving the child little room to help or learn in terms of doing house chores, cooking included. Take a boarder view, the society currently goes more and ore specialized in labor training and work distribution. Jack-of-all-trades is rarely seen today. Typically, grandfathers who can make furniture, cook, grow plants and even build houses are more versatile than fathers, and fathers more talented than husbands, albeit vice versa for earnings.

As to whether schools should offer cooking lesions to kids and young children, I guess it is a good idea, as long as cooking becomes a selective course rather than a compulsory one. In that case, those who are interested will go for it, while those who are not will be saved from the trouble of worrying about the scores.

By way of conclusion, I totally agree that, cooking, as an indispensible part of culture, should be deliberately preserved. The cause must be carried on. However, I am also convinced that people should have their own choice as to learn or not to learn cooking skills. Those into it may devote a lifetime and turn out to be the chief chef in a 3 star Michelin restaurant; whereas those who hate to cook, even if they can, may choose to dine out over cooking on their own. After all, both ways serve well as incentives to promote economic development.

我想这是一种生理反应,没办法。

可是现在,女儿幼儿园也有外教,她也习惯了。
老公的问题,多半是心理上的,我想他是看不惯有些人对老外点头哈腰没有原则,自己想做的不卑不亢结果有点过分了。

那天在电视里,看到黑猩猩吃小游猴,抓来就吃,还分给认识不认识的其他黑猩猩。
我们看来,黑猩猩和小游猴是同类。
同类也相残,自然法则——弱肉强食。

老外也是人,只不过他是考官你是考生,地位不等,造成你心理上的恐惧。
怎么办呢,想办法克服吧!
眼光放长远一点,过了这座山,就离你向往的草原更近了,加油!
另外,老外考官也挺可怜的,周末也不能休息,还要听一些有的没的磕磕巴巴的人战战兢兢地跟他们讲一些没意思的话。
理解他们,然后把你们的交流变成一次有意思的对话,要么言谈犀利,要么态度积极,让他们觉得耳目一新,也许结果会好一点。

有几个问题问下laurawlqi姐姐:听力就听BBC的新闻类吗?是不是新闻类的英语比雅思的听力要难一些?还有写作除了economist之外,还有哪些网站能系统全面的学习西方的表达方式?另外就是口语考试中,说英音是不是更好一些?谢谢!

标题: 回复 #60 archibald 的帖子
BBC一般我听采访或者评论多一些,因为一些小词的用法和口语考试语境很像,另外新闻都是循环的没什么意思。
雅思听力很简单的,BBC听懂大意,雅思不用担心。

写作么,从6分到7分,经济学家够了。

英音呢是全世界人民最向往的口音。如果你平时就是英音,大可秀一把;但要现改,恐怕来不及了,就怕到时候为了口音问题反而耽误了思路。另外,万一那个考官嫉妒你咋办呢?呵呵。我觉得加拿大英语和香港英语都挺好的,既让人听得懂,又适合国人。

至于口语,建议大家向秀水街的小摊贩们学习,学习他们不怕苦不怕累的精神,学习他们勤于钻研为了赚钱主动学习多国语言的精神,学习他们不管怎样都很自信不怕开口的精神....

圣诞节去秀水街买礼物,又领略了一次。呵呵,我发现他们虽然有时漫天要价很无良,但他们积极奋斗不放过任何一个赚钱的机会,这种生活态度还是蛮可爱的。

标题: 7分写作练习——系列四
Essay One ----
You heard that a sports center would be closed. Write a letter to the manager. In your letter, you should
1). Tell how you heard about the news
2). Say what your opinion is about this
3). Explain how it impacts your life

Dear Sir/Madam,

I just heard from a friend that the Qing Bird sports center is to be closed soon. The news stroke me as odd and in an abrupt way. Therefore, as a member of the sports club, I’m writing to inquire what has been going on and how you are going to handle this.

I bought the silver membership card last December and go to the center to keep fit from time to time. I find the facilities and services quite convenient and it’s been fun working out there. Having no idea it will be shut down, I still have hundreds of dollars left to go in my membership account.

I hope to get the money back as well as some due compensation, such as discount entitlements in some other Qing Bird sports center somewhere near our neighborhood. What’s more, whatever has caused this closure, I suggest you make an announcement informing the club members and residents of your plan. The sooner, the better.

I hope you can help work this out smoothly with the club members who are in the same boat as me. I look forward to your feedback.

Sincerely,
Laura Qi

Essay Two ----
In modern society, many people think that primary schools should teach science and technology rather than history and geography which are useless and boring. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Modern society is characterized by discoveries and inventions that are unexceptionally the outcome of scientific and technological research, so much so that schools are beginning to doubt whether it is still necessary to teach other courses such as history and geography. Does the doubt have adequate grounds?

Admittedly, science and technology is the number one incentive for productivity development. Without Einstein’s invention of light bulb and telephone, the world would have been hundreds of years lagging behind. Similarly, without many other scientists, Nobel Prize winner or not, we would not have been enjoying such convenience, longevity and prosperity.

Nevertheless, history and geography are in no way less important. History provides lessons for us to learn, so that we can circumvent hidden traps and avoid paying high price by making mistakes. Geography, for one thing, provides the map for tapping various mining resources, thus helping sustain our development. To maintain peace,wealth and sustainable development, is essential to all, not least among countries and regimes across the globe. As to the stereotyped thinking that history and geography are boring, it might be true, if the teachers fail to find interesting ways to present the contents to class. However, surely there are more capable and innovative teachers who take their work seriously. The recently popular history teacher, Yuan Tengfei, from Beijing No. 4 middle school is a telling example. On the CCTV-10 forum, his history teaching is as intriguing as story telling.

In terms of the question of whether primary school should teach history and geography, I am convinced that the answer is positive. While higher educational institutions leave the freedom for students to choose among their favorite majors, primary school should give children chances to learn all the basic theories and facts, which, I believe, will play the role as an underpin for their future interest development.

不是呢。这些都是我第二次烤鸭成功之前的练习。

第一次没怎么练习,也没怎么看题目,只在电脑上打了一大一小,还自我感觉很好,就去了,结果铩羽而归。
第二次知道用笔写不容易,所以在家练了一样五六篇,题目是真题曾经出现过的。这些版本是事后敲出来的,当然有些改动,权当参考。

我很想借此机会鼓励那些和我一样不喜欢重复做功却还必须重复做功的兄弟姐妹。
有时候,当你感觉力气都使光了,只需要再努力一点点,也许就闯过去了。
这一点点,真的很不容易,就像我上学时痛恨的800米跑,那最后的半圈。
但,坚持就是胜利。真理啊。

换个角度,当一个人每天大部分时间都在想同一件事,这件事没有不成的道理。
你们说呢?

第一,加强自信,相信自己可以的;
第二,加强练习,参考这个帖子之前我说的方法;
第三,加强信息积累,平时多注意思考,如果你有心,看报纸看电视聊天的时候有很多灵感和素材都可以用到口语中,所谓言之有物,一定会高分。

加油!

我尤其佩服那些考了不止一次才达到所需成绩的同学,太牛了!
那是精神的牛,那是意志的牛啊!
作者: laurawlqi    时间: 2-1-2010 18:17
突然忘记自己当初许愿说要是4个7,一定要吃素一年的话了。
老天不会怪我吧,现在还来得及么?
不过那是我第一次烤鸭许的愿,第二次根本没指望老天,打算要是不行直接报名下一次的,没想到就过了。

....看来先要自助,天才能助啊。

多谢分享

这里这么多牛人,我就爆自己的丑事。
小弟是从2003开始接触IELTS(当时最新的是剑3),考到现在一共参加3次,雅思培训班参加2届(环雅,新东方)。
另外GRE培训参加过1届。成绩基本没有变过,就是平均6-6.5,从来就没有一次4个6.5.

大牛提供的资料我很早就知道了,就是一直没有下狠心学啊!!
现在知耻而后勇,每天除了上10个小时班(加班),每天再读1个小时外语,听3小时,另外还练一些英式RAP。下面6个月,就准备来弄写作了。

如果不考到6.5,决不罢休,不然对不起前面付出的所有精力。。。

亲爱的,这要看你有没有养成自学的习惯和兴趣呢。
喜欢英语不?喜欢加努力,没有不成的道理呢。

说实在的,大学的英语专业没给我什么帮助,入门比较重要,然后就是有时间自己看书看影视找资料,多找老外练,就可以啦!

美女,我elodge了,可是和没有递也差不多,不是说新政下来就要咔嚓了么,连早两年递的NAATI都在等。基本上我觉得我是在自杀。只是因为有了开始,所以必须要有个结束,而已。

嗯,我在北京找到了还不错的工作,不知道还有没时间去学法语,然后申请加拿大呢,我老公是死活不愿意做主申的,他这样做很奇怪,因为财务无论在哪国都是紧缺,我想,他是想跟我表示,第一他不会为了出国而出国他相信在国内一样能过得很好,第二他不愿证明自己在外企这许多年其实英语有多差。

现在老公还在南方工作,我和孩子在北京,这种生活不是移民监胜似移民监啊。其实,只要团聚就好,管它在哪里呢。我已经不care了。
