终于脱离考英文这个阶段,然而下个考验才正要开始。
因为考完太开心睡不着,在这边分享一些准备心得。

2011 03 26 14 14 15 11 54 刚退伍准备了一阵子去考
2012 工作太忙无法兼顾但是还是跑去考了建筑师,
在登峰捕了一年
2013 01 26 19 21 15 14 69 这连公费留学的标准还不到阿,在送佛补冲班
2013 04 14 15 21 17 21 74 我每次总分都只进步 5分

2013 08 24 21 19 19 21 80 放弃考试,开始认真做作品集
2013 12 07 22 23 18 22 85 这就是一次进步五分的魔咒
2013 12 22 开始到澳洲打工旅游(半放弃状态),
一边修作品集
2014 03 01 16 21 18 22 77 发现没事在澳洲用不太到英文
2014 03 22 22 23 19 21 84 中间回台湾考了一次还是失望(学校申请截止

2014 08 16 6.5 6.0 6.0 6.5 6.5 作战终于成功
2014 08 21 7.5 6.5 6.0 6.5 6.5 新成绩!!!
这边边也不是说去那一家名师的补习班特别重要,成败是在个人。
别以为最后一位医生就是好医生,并不是最后一位老师才是你要感谢的老师。
总归一句学习英文并没有真正的捷径,但是每次都挫败对于心理都是一种挑战。
在"村上春树~关于跑步我说的其实是"一位著名的马拉松选手说
"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional."
这种信仰对于我来说是坚信不疑的
托福经验
相信大家都在各家补习班学到各种技巧,但是我感觉到是考题所传达给我的attitude and
tones (SK2 Rosa)。在做完TPO30回三遍之后在reading部分是没有太多生字了,就算有生
字也不太影响答题了。这部分的功力延续到后来雅思的考题上并未形成阻碍。如果把各种
生字分成两类的话,可以知道哪些字是支持的哪些是反驳的,间接知道作者的态度。
在listening 部分语调( intonation) 或是情绪的表达占很重要的部分,也是拿分的关键
。做笔记只做keyword,听什么超什么只会听不到重点。
Speaking, 像听歌一样听音档(David),背诵语调,把不正确的断句纠正过来。参加读书会
,听听别人的答案,怎么组织,word bank分享,互相纠错。
Writing, 这部分Rosa帮了我很大的忙,光是英文逻辑就纠正了我快两个月。文章的用字不
用太难,但是要写出论点。在托福作文里面我就题目给的正反来论证。在用例子和细节来
补充。如果写了一些太过个人的经验那也是没啥用处。
托福和雅思的比较
这样说可能对某些人来说不恰当,但是对我来说雅思似乎容易一些(基于念了一年多的托福
的想法)
Reading,找出题目的关键字,用平行阅读法作答,练习久了读起来非常流畅。
向较于托福,雅思的陷阱题显而易见。选段落大意的时候,不像6选3大部分选项中的关键
字文章都有提到。
Listening,和托福完全不一样,注意力很集中,在放音档前快速寻找关键字位置,以便判
断位置和抄写,拼字一开始不用拼对,到时候10分钟填答案在纠正过来就好。
Writing,除了task1不太一样之外我觉得差别不大。先写task2在保留20分钟写task1会比较
轻松。唯一要注意的是每种题型都要练习到,中间三次考到的youth crime, dangerous sp
orts, public diet简直就是太要命了,不好好准备不行。如果你和我一样是看慎小疑十天
突破雅思作文的话,个人觉得6.5到7分不太值得看,考官写的和9分作文才有代表性。书中
举的范例多是大量的使用词汇来充实文章长度,对于正反两方的辩论并没有明显的论述。
不过有一些词汇是写作必要的可以背一背。
Speaking,使用I think the interesting is that or Oh, I never thought that before
来争取一些时间把自己的想法讲出来,避免重复词汇出现过频繁,注意时态。雅思口说不
用考听力还有弹性的时间这点实在太轻松了。
#注意 如果你一直会被时间限制卡住的人,如果无法克服的话就考雅思吧
下面分享一些非正统的学习方法或是说偷懒的学习方法
1.看美剧查单字,请挑选一些话很多的连续剧
Big bang theory, how I met your mother, 2 broke girls,
newsroom, masterchef边看边查,没字幕的话就问siri怎么拼
2.放NPR or BBC一整天当音乐听,NPR 里面的 all things consider有时候会有访问的
节目或是脱口秀,语调很夸张很适合拿来学习。BBC听久了之后会觉得他们语调比较平稳,
所以只适合拿来练accent。
3 和外国人碰面的activities
有两个网站,一个叫couchsurfing另一个叫meetup,他们有举办language exchange的活动
参加的外国人有些是在台湾工作,有些是来台湾学中文,各国人都有。不妨鼓起勇气,主
动和外国人攀谈,实际练习一下英文。练题目练久了感觉很像机器,给一个题目吐一个答
案,但是如果透过和阿丢仔聊天,学习发音、逻辑、道地的词汇都是很不错的机会。
就像在电影中一样,开头会先说 how are you? How do you do? 若是上次就认识的
就可以说how was you this week?在自我介绍之后,有些人没兴趣就会走开,如果聊得来
或是初来乍到的就会一直问一些问题。最重要的是每一次都要喝酒,my friend said beer
is a social lubricant.喝了酒之后讲话会比较顺也比较敢讲。
也有人说考口说之前应该要喝个两口whisky,但是我从没胆尝试
这些活动都只要付一瓶啤酒的钱或是饮料钱,当然你要喝挂也拦不住你(100~150)

范例文章 IELTS 08/16考题
This map shows the escapepaing path for students who live on second floor when
there is a fire.
Path 1, starts at the centre of the corridor and provides people who live in
bedroom 1 to 3 an escape. The meeting point is on the left side of the
building. Path 2, collects people from lift, the space behind lift, and bedroom
4 to 7.People collect at meeting point 2 on the north side of the building.
The major difference between them is the stairs. Path 1 has a smaller stairs,
because it only provides escape for people from corridor and bedroom 1 to 3.
However, path 2 is different.
The stairs are bigger, and can accommodate more people to escape. Both these
two escape plans direct people escaping from indoors to outdoors, and collect
people at the meeting point.
Recently, some governments have encouraged industries and businesses to move
out of the city. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the
disadvantages?
Tast2
The location of industries and business has been a heated debate for years in
several countries. However, I believe that the advantages still outweigh the
disadvantages.
For supporters, there are some advantages. For one thing, shifting industries
and businesses from city to suburb or countryside can provide more space for
citizens in the city because of the-population-growth and this is very serious
issue in urban area. For another thing, relocation also can help developing
public facilities for local area, such as some roads and infrastructures.
For opponents, there are some shortcomings to relocation of industries. Firstly
, the migrating company might change the local economic structure. For example,
when a big car-making factory moves into a farming town, people might be
attracted by its high salaries and give up their family businesses. Besides
that, goods' import and export and commuters might cause serious transportation
problems, such as traffic jam.
From my point of view, the advantages of relocating industries still outweigh
the disadvantages. Since city area is overcrowded today, the place vacated by
the company can provide more public space for citizens and residents.
Although there are some drawbacks ofrelocation, all the government need to do
is make specific plan to support moving companies and help local residents to
adapt.
In conclusion, I believe that moving industries and businesses is worthwhile to
do because both people from city and countryside can get benefit from it, as
long as the government has specific organization and plan for it.
