烤鸭如何消除对雅思考试的恐慌？.

　　每人喜欢考试。它使人紧张而不自在。它削弱学生的自信心，使他们疲惫不堪。而在最极端的情形下，人们直接惶恐不安，失去了清晰思考的能力。雅思考试也不例外，成为许多人的心病。除非你懂得如何应对，雅思考试的许多地方或许会让人畏惧。人们往往对未知充满畏惧，所以克服的办法在于熟悉雅思考试的那些可怕的地方。去除掉雅思那些“惊慌”元素，你的害怕也会随之慢慢消失。

　　Here are the 5 things people are afraid of the most about IELTS:

　　以下是雅思考试中的5大担心：

　　1. What if I miss the answers in the Listening module?

　　听力当中我听漏了答案怎么办?

　　This is a fear of losing concentration. Ask any IELTS candidate what they are afraid of in the Listening module and they will say: “I am afraid to miss answers. I am afraid that I won’t be able to follow the recording”.

　　这是一种对失去注意力的担心。问任何一个烤鸭他们在听力中最担心的，他们会回答：我担心听漏了答案，我担心没办法跟上录音。

　　To make this fear disappear there is only one solution – practice. Practising builds up confidence and teaches you how to recover even if you’ve missed a question or two; how to move on and get all the rest done. Practice reveals what your weaknesses are, which tasks are the most difficult for you, and where the points are usually lost. Paying extra attention to those tasks will save precious points and improve the overall band score.

　　要去除这种担心只有一种办法——多练。练习可以给你建立信心，教会你如何在错过了一两个小题时马上恢复过来，继续下去完成剩下的。练习可以暴露出你的薄弱处，哪一部分是你最困难的以及你的常见失分点。对这些地方给予更多的关注可以保住一些宝贵的得分点，从而提升你的总成绩。

　　2. What if I don’t have enough time?

　　如果我没有足够的时间怎么办?

　　In the Reading and Writing sections the most common fear is to not finish on time. The best way to deal with this fear is to take control of the time and manage it carully. The students are given several passages and under no circumstances should you let one passage eat up all the time.

　　在阅读和写作部分最为常见的但心是做不完。最好的解决之道是学会细心的时间管控。例如阅读中，你是要求在限定的时间内完成三篇阅读，所以无论如何你不应该在一篇上花过多时间。

　　One of the time management techniques is called “Divide and Conquer”. Divide the time in the very beginning of the test and write down when you will start working on each passage. Stick to that contract no matter what. Even if you have questions unanswered, move on to the next passage. Consider this a damage control system – it will make sure that even if some questions were missed, most of the questions will be answered.

　　有种时间管理的技巧叫“化整为零各个击破”。在做题之初就写下何时该做每一篇阅读的时间。如论什么状况，都要按照这个你所订立的契约来。就算你 的题目没有打完，也要跳过继续下一篇。把这当作是一种损害管理系统——它可以保证你即使在某些题跳过的情况下，大多数的题目会完成

　　3. What if I have nothing to write about?

　　如果我无话可写怎么办?

　　This is a fear of writer’s block. Many students are afraid of getting a topic for the essay and having nothing to say about it. The easiest way to get over it is to read a lot of essays on different topics and to absorb other people’s ideas. The truth is that IELTS examiners don’t care about the source of the information; it is the way an essay is written that matters.

　　这是写作者的常见拦路虎。很多考生担心拿到一个话题时无话可说。而克服它最容易的办法就是多读一些各种话题的文章从而收集他人的观点。因为事实上，雅思考官们根本不关心你的信息来源;他们关心的是你的文章是如何谋篇布局的。

　　4. What if I say the wrong thing?

　　如果我说得不合时宜咋办?

　　This is a fear of expressing the “inappropriate” ideas. Contrary to what many people think, there are no right or wrong ideas. As long as the student is speaking on topic and expressing their thoughts in a logical way, no idea can harm their score.

　　这是担心表达了不太恰当的观点。恰恰与很多人理解的相反，雅思口语中的观点没有正误之说，只要学生没有跑题，用符合逻辑的方式表达他们的思想，任何观点都不会影响到他们的得分。

　　5. What if I have nothing to say?

　　如果我没东西可说咋整?

　　This is a fear of interaction with the examiner. In general, the Speaking module often makes people feel uncomfortable because there is little or no time to think. What if they ask me a question and I have no idea what to say, no opinion? To make this fear go away people need to build up confidence. Practising speaking for a couple of weeks with a list of topics can do wonders; after you’ve proven the ability to speak to yourself, it becomes much easier to demonstrate it to the examiner.

　　这是对跟考官的交流的担心。通常来说，口语考试会使考生觉得不自在，因为允许思考的时间几乎没有。如果他们问了一个问题，而我完全无话可说，根本没想法，怎么破?破除的方法就是建立起自信心。列个话题清单，自己操练上两三个星期，奇迹会发生。当你已经具备了自言自语的能力后，跟考官展现你的这种 语言能力会容易太多。

　　Some students get nervous about being recorded. Surprisingly the reason for this procedure is to evaluate the examiner, not the examinee. There are cases when students are not happy with their score and demand re-assessment, which can only be done if there is a recording of the exam.

　　有些考生对全程录像很紧张。让人出乎意料的是，这个程序是为了评估考官而不是考生的。有些情况下，考生对自己的分数不满意而申请复议，没有对考试的录像是不可能实现的。

　　总而言之，我要再三强调——我们，作为普通人，不安于未知，自在于熟知。不要让非理想的担忧影响到了你的成功。
