Jessica Beck: 我认为雅思考试比托福考试更有效，因为它更真实，是面对面的交流。许多考生无法取得理想分数是因为练习不平衡，过分依赖教材而缺乏真实的英语交流练习。备考雅思需要全面的练习，也要针对各个部分进行练习，例如听力、阅读、写作和口语。在练习英语听力时，目标不应该是一字不漏地理解所有内容，而应该设定一个可实现的目标，例如先理解大意。如果备考时间短，应该制定一个切实可行的计划，每天结合练习题和一般的英语活动，例如看情景喜剧并做笔记。即使是母语人士，在雅思考试的口语部分也未必能得到满分，因为他们不知道考官想要什么。我的备考秘籍会告诉你考官想要什么，从而帮助你获得7分或更高的分数。 Lindsay McMahon: 雅思考试更有效，因为它模拟了真实的交流场景，包括非语言技巧和眼神交流。为了在雅思考试中取得好成绩，需要平衡教材练习和真实的英语运用，例如与母语人士交谈、看电影、听音乐等。选择合适的听力练习材料很重要，学习者应该根据自己的英语水平选择难度适中的材料，例如情景喜剧、为非母语人士制作的播客等。

Are you preparing to take the IELTS exam?

Today, Lindsay and Jessica discuss what you need to know to pass with the score you want!

There are lots of questions about the IELTS exam. It’s not an easy test to take, but it is the most widely accepted test for getting into universities and even for immigration and work visas.

One reason for this is that the test is face-to-face with another person, which makes it more real. Though this might sound intimidating, many testers actually find it more relaxing when the examiner is another person, rather than a computer.

When students take the test and don’t get the score they wanted, it’s usually because they didn’t have enough real-life speaking practice – they only worked out of textbooks. You need to practice speaking with an actual person. You also need to be honest with yourself about where you are with your English abilities so that you have an obtainable goal.
