I still got 6 points in IELTS several times. What happened?

After several times, IELTS scored 6. What's your goal score?

I believe it's not that many roast ducks can't support IELTS preparation, it's not that time is holding them back, but that after continuous efforts, IELTS scores still stay at 5-6. I don't know what my problem is and why my score always stays around 6.

1. IELTS reading

I believe that many roast ducks will have this big problem, that is, IELTS reading time is too long, reading questions can not be finished, and time is not enough.

Early problem: reading is too slow to finish the questions (do you have one, too)

Methods: Practice time-limited reading at ordinary times. In the usual exam, the average reading time for each reading is 20 minutes. However, due to various factors such as nervousness, it is absolutely impossible to complete reading if the training time is 20 minutes. Train for a limited time 16min/ article, then read three articles in one breath, then check the answers, then analyze the wrong questions and accumulate agreed conversions and new words. The purpose of reading three articles at a time is to familiarize the brain with the routine of the exam. Being familiar with the routine of IELTS test will help you improve the speed of reading and solving problems. When you read the first article in an exam, your ears are always clear, but when you read the third article, you don't know what to say. Therefore, it is recommended to start high-intensity training at ordinary times. Only you are familiar with the thinking of IELTS reading articles and the rules of writing questions, so you must practice your endurance and be familiar with three such high-intensity articles during training. Remember the reality, the time of three articles is 16min*3.

Mid-term problem: the article can be read, but the problem can't be finished. Solution: Look for skills to solve problems. Indeed, for the IELTS test, some training content should be targeted. Since it is an exam, you will have certain skills, but it must be based on your English ability, that is, don't just pay attention to the improvement of skills and forget the improvement of reading ability. It is suggested that after understanding the test-taking skills and test-taking skills of IELTS reading, refer to these skills and then train them into skills that suit you. Let's go

Method: Add here that you need to read and do the questions in the correct order. Reading order: 1) Look at the topic first (roughly know what to say)

Look at the first question and options, and the second question, so that you won't miss the answer to the first question, but also pay attention to the second question, and you won't miss much.

2) look at the question type.

Reading questions can be basically divided into two categories: general questions and detailed questions; General questions such as title list. , fewer problems; There are many types of detailed questions, such as crossword puzzles, true or false questions, etc. Generally, after reading an article, there will be 2-4 kinds of questions.

For example:

A) If there are only detailed questions in the finished questions, then even if you don't understand them, you can use problem-solving skills to make them similar and relatively simple;

B) If there are only general questions, it is mainly based on understanding, and one or two details can't be grasped;

C) If there are both general questions and detailed questions, the last reading will usually appear. Personally, I suggest reading a paragraph and doing a question. In this way, even if you can't finish reading the last article, you can get extra points with the scores of the previous articles.

3) Look at the topic

Speed and shorthand skills must be trained here. Just look at the stem and summarize the problem, and delimit the key words in the details. The whole process, even the most frequently asked section, is not recommended to exceed1.5min..

4) Read the article, read a paragraph and do a question.

Post-problem: the article can be finished and the topic can be finished, but the correct rate can't go up. Processing method: intensive reading. Find the topic and the corresponding article, and analyze the reasons for the mistakes. Sometimes a word may be misunderstood, sometimes the with in the stem may be taken as without, or sometimes it is completely impossible to understand why it is wrong, or the agreed conversion is not obvious and you need to accumulate it. For the third mistake that I don't understand at all, I suggest reading it later, so don't be too entangled. Anyway, our goal is not to answer 40 questions correctly. Try to avoid other mistakes.

2. IELTS listening

In fact, improving listening can be done in a short time. A very important suggestion is that vocabulary must pass. If you are not familiar with pronunciation and vocabulary, your listening will not improve. So, if your listening is always suspended at around 6 o'clock, make a determined effort to gain a listening vocabulary for a week or three to four days. When I say win, I mean you have to reach the level of listening vocabulary response. As soon as you hear this word, you will

Early problem: I didn't hear anything when I was listening, and the more I didn't understand, the more I didn't want to listen. Solution: Laying a good foundation and mastering vocabulary are the fundamental beliefs that many students always feel. At first, I felt that I didn't hear anything, but I didn't know anything. When I was nervous, I really didn't know that I didn't hear anything.

Listening review is mainly divided into two stages: 1. Basic improvement (vocabulary mastery is the premise) 2. Master problem-solving skills (real problem training).

Mid-term problem: I was caught off guard by listening too fast. Solution: Be familiar with listening questions and improve your skills. I mainly divide listening questions into two categories: 1. Selectivity; 2. Lyrics.

Type of multiple choice questions: it includes both traditional single choice, that is, one of three choices, and matching questions. Personally, I suggest that the most important thing to do this kind of questions is to look at the stem and listen to the content (because the listening details are examined). Whether time permits or not, you should read the listening questions and options. In the process of listening, draw the key words corresponding to each question, tick the answers of multiple-choice questions or write some key words there, and then choose the answers to copy at the end of 10min. Don't worry about whether you will forget the content after you finish speaking. Just write down the recognizable keywords when you listen, and you can do it right. However, when suggesting a single choice, it is best to check the correct option, because the speed of reading is the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of writing. When you write down the key words, you can browse the contents of the options.

Lyrics: The lyrics of section 1 are relatively simple. The reason why the fourth part is more difficult is that sometimes after reading the stem, I miss a word, and I don't know what I am asking. Therefore, it is very important to understand the stem of section4. Basically, it is not difficult to read the stem and fill in the lyrics.

Remember, you need: (1) basic (vocabulary premise)+skill training (2) understand the types of questions and prescribe the right medicine; (3) Write down the key words of multiple-choice questions (4) Fill in the words to understand the stem.

Write in front of oral English and composition: form your own routine through training.

Speaking and writing are an output process, but a lot of input is needed before output. Only by internalizing these inputs into your own routines will the input break away from the rigid template. Moreover, speaking and writing takes time to train, and we can't just rely on prediction. Don't put your chance on such a big risk. Strength is the premise, skill is the auxiliary. This is the correct way to prepare for IELTS.

3. IELTS speaking

As mentioned above, please have a clear understanding of your spoken English. If you feel good about yourself, you can record your three parts and listen to how many grammatical mistakes you have made and whether the logic is clear. If you don't do it, all you have to do is practice every day. Just like other IELTS programs, you need to constantly reflect and improve yourself.

Part 1: This part is relatively simple. Mainly ask some basic personal information. There is no need to recite answers or templates. Generally refer to the teacher's answer, read it several times and change it into your own material. According to your own situation, say it realistically. Say that your own things are the least likely to get stuck and the most likely to swell. According to the reference materials, make appropriate modifications to your own materials, so that you don't have to spend too much time on material preparation.

Part2: Remember, if you can explain your thoughts and contents with the simplest words and the truest expressions, you are a master, and you don't have to look for that kind of particularly gorgeous rhetoric.

1) Simple and authentic materials are more important.

Please don't imagine the content of spoken English too high, and don't use too many gorgeous words and high-end words. What you need is smooth logic, reasonable connections and turns, and content that doesn't seem so important. Some students seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding when preparing, so they must use a lot of advanced vocabulary. In fact, you can imagine that when we speak Chinese, we don't say some fancy words in our daily conversation, so why do we drag these unfamiliar big words when we speak English? Clear logic, fluent expression and accumulated authentic expression are the real killer.

2) the construction of logical thinking

So how do you talk to the examiner fluently for 2 minutes? In fact, the title card of part2 already has the answer. It must be remembered that every question card has four small questions. In this logical order, basically you say four sentences per question, that is, 16 sentences, and the time must be more than 2 minutes. This will not only ensure that your words are logical, but also be enough to deduct the topic.

3) Oral test questions

When preparing oral English, it is a good choice to practice more if you have enough time, but if you really don't have enough time, you should spend a month looking for the oral materials of the season, then revise the materials and practice constantly.

Pay attention, try not to recite other people's materials, it is best to modify them into your own and adapt to your own level, because many teachers may write materials that are difficult and not suitable for you, so remove some difficult parts, leave some materials that are suitable for you, and add some materials that become your own.

First of all, you have a lot of work to recite more than 50 topics, but if you learn to classify, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Many topics are actually similar, but you can modify them in small places.

Secondly, you should be familiar with these suitable materials, especially the second part. If you are not familiar with them, you will be more likely to get stuck. For the use of materials, look at ideas, accumulate expressions, and then internalize them into your own routines. This process may be difficult at first, but after contacting 5-6 articles, you will find a lot of content, even if your brain doesn't think it over, your mouth will say it.

Part2 In case of sufficient time, it is recommended to prepare 2 rounds. Be familiar with the materials in the first round and know what you want to say. Be sure to say it! In the second round, according to the test standard, 1min reads the title card, writes the key words, and counts for 2min. Try to speak for 2 minutes when practicing at ordinary times, because when you arrive at the examination room, you will be unconsciously nervous and speak faster, and you can't think of anything to say at ordinary times. If you don't have enough time to speak, nine times out of ten you will jump off the street in this exam.

Some students tend to ignore the importance of the third part. In fact, I think part3 can best reflect the depth and breadth, and reflect your oral thinking. Part3 is the best way to train a person's logical thinking in oral English, and it is also the best way to train everyone to react when they encounter new problems, so don't ignore the training of part3.

The third part can answer questions, put forward opinions and demonstrate with examples in the same way as the composition. At the same time, there are great similarities between materials and composition. This requires the accumulation of a large number of materials, and time is pressing. Please make full use of the ready-made third part materials. In addition, the use of conjunctions is also important. Sometimes the examiner may not listen to your content, but the conjunctions you say may reflect that you have many opinions to say, and conjunctions are also the embodiment of logical expression.

To sum up, please note that (1) the logic is smooth, (2) the connection is reasonable, (3) the content is detailed and substantial, and (4) the pronunciation and intonation are not blunt. Doing these four things seems to see you waving at 7 o'clock ~

4. IELTS writing

Admittedly, IELTS writing can't be improved to a high level in a short time, and sometimes it really takes a little luck. I feel that sometimes I can't get 7 points, but besides luck, there are too many places that we need to work hard, and that is strength.

1) big composition says big composition first. From the whole to the part, the most important thing is your logical structure. From the arrangement of opinions between paragraphs to specific paragraphs, how to demonstrate opinions is supported by an internal logical framework. This can be summed up as "making it clear". Reflected in the grading standard, it is the most important part of task response and grading. An article digress, basically reached 6-6.5 points; If there is only one point of view, but the argument logic is not clear, it is basically 6.5 points.

Mid-term symptoms: There is nothing wrong with the written article, but the examiner thinks that an ordinary person would never write such an article. Treatment: logical framework+real expression

Logical structure is your framework, so language expression is how to enrich this framework. The language expression here does not require a good level of Chinese words, but whether it is authentic. Remember, the expression here does not mean how to express it in gorgeous words, but how to be authentic and how to write articles like a western native writer. This can be summed up as "well said, well said".

The logical structure of the full text can be trained by brainstorming. Read the composition topics for a whole year, and then put forward your own opinions. Take the model essay as an example, you can compare it with the model essay, and then reflect on whether your point of view is easy to demonstrate and whether the deduction is close.

The discussion of a certain point of view needs to be completed through a lot of writing exercises. This kind of exercise is not blind. For students who have no ideas, it is recommended to accumulate arguments first. For example, when demonstrating the disadvantages of boarding schools, the viewpoint put forward is that the interaction between children and parents is declining. When discussing, you can describe the result of this view, such as homesickness and helplessness. By summing up, we know how to expand an idea logically. After imitating for a period of time, you need to start writing by yourself.

Students with poor foundation will translate the teacher's model essay twice and accumulate their own expressions different from the original, and the basic expressions can be mastered by 60% to 70%. My own method is to write my Chinese thinking expression on the left and my English expression on the right.

After translation, I entered the stage of my own writing, and when I started writing, I would consciously use my accumulated expressions; After writing, find a foreign teacher to teach about ten different kinds of compositions, and then accumulate them. In short, it is a monotonous process of constant input and output.

The review of the big composition mainly goes through the following stages:

1) accumulate authentic expressions and expand content: brainstorming (3-4 days, using scattered time)+translation (1 week, 2 articles a day)

2) Practice writing by yourself. Do write! Do write! Do write! At least 1 big composition every day, with a time limit of 35 minutes. Check it yourself after writing, and you can find many grammatical errors and logical errors. If you can, please ask the teacher to correct it and accumulate the corrected expression again.

As for what to write?

First: the composition topics of these two parts are relatively new and may be written in the original title of the exam;

Second: both teachers have attached model essays, some of which are easy to imitate. They can write their own compositions and accumulate model essays at the same time. At the same time, make a comparison and know where you can improve.

Third: I want to emphasize that at the beginning of writing, you can try some general topics, so it is not difficult to sum up your own views.

Fourth: After training for a period of time, try some difficult topics step by step.

2) there are still fixed routines for small compositions. Like a big composition, it is prepared from both logic and language expression. But because the small composition is not as flexible as the big composition, the sentence pattern and structure are relatively simple, and you can accumulate it yourself, so I won't go into details here.
