听力&阅读
“捕捉关键信息”
KEYWORDS
“回音法”
For all we know, in most listening tests, the recordings will be played once only. Since most of us have limited short-term memory, we would forget what we’ve just heard in almost no time.
在雅思、四六级等多数英语考试中，听力一般只会播放一遍，而我们对于其中细节信息的瞬时记忆有限，很可能由于走神或者紧张而遗漏信息，最终只好遗憾地错过答案。
What I usually do is repeating after the recordings. Since we do it silently, we can first minimize the distraction from ourselves while still focusing on the recordings. At the same time, the subconscious movement of our lips will send the key information back to us again, with a little delay at most. This would reinforce our memory and generate an effect similar to a second time of listening.
我们可以尝试边听边无意识地进行同步默读。这样一来可以把自我干扰降到最低，注意力仍然在听力内容上；二来下意识跟读的口型会将关键信息二次延迟反馈到脑海里，相当于听了两遍。
This whole process is like interpreting, which means that we should try to synchronize with the recordings and never dwell over a certain word.
“回音法”和同声传译的感觉差不多，最关键的是要同步，切忌在没有听清的地方反复纠结。
“联想法”
While reading the questions, we all know it’s important to underline the keywords in each sentence. But sometimes the options are long and exhausting to read, let alone to understand and even to remember. And the information they convey is likely to be forgotten as we try to locate the answers in the article.
在读题的过程中，虽然我们都知道要对题目及选项中的关键词进行勾画，但往往回到原文进行定位时，却经常把许多信息忘得一干二净。
Besides, similar options may also bring some confusion, making it even harder for us to choose. In this case, we can let our imagination run wild, and create vivid images to help us understand. These images can be bold and even ridiculous, as long as they can help us distinguish what each option emphasizes.
此外看新闻学英语：六级660+、雅思8分……看她如何学英语ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ，一些相似的选项也会给我们造成一定的干扰。这时，我们可以采取”联想法“，根据选项甚至文章内容联想出相应的图像，这个图像可以是夸张大胆的，只要能帮助我们比较和区分各个选项，分析出它们强调的关键信息是什么。
By doing so, our understanding and memory of the options will be enhanced and we only need to recall the image in our mind when we return to the article.
通过这种方法，我们对选项的理解和记忆得以加深，做题时只需选出脑海中相符合的画面就好。
口语&写作
“逻辑先行”
LOGIC
问题思维
Logic is critical in IELTS and any other English academic writing. Constantly asking ourselves “why” can help us form a rigorous logic. We need to question the rationality of every small conclusion we come to in each paragraph.
无论是在雅思还是四六级，甚至英文学术写作中，严密逻辑的重要性不言而喻，想要尽可能避免逻辑漏洞的出现，就需要时刻问自己几个“为什么”。我们要敢于质疑每段中的小结论，甚至每句话中自己的观点。
Suppose we’ve mentioned that A is correlated with B, we need to ask ourselves why instead of fudging it with a simple statement. For instance, are there any other factors involved? Is there a precondition that we fail to take into account? Every idea needs to be explained in an orderly way, with proper conjunctions linking them all together.
假设A和B有因果联系，我们与其寥寥一句话带过，不如耐心问问自己，中间是否还有其他因素的影响？是否还有某个前提条件没有考虑在内？将前因后果解释清楚，并通过清晰的结构和连接词呈现，有助于我们逻辑的形成。
Similarly, in-depth answers are preferred when given an open-end question in the speaking test. We can discuss the matter from various perspectives in a bid to demonstrate our critical thinking ability.
同样，在口语考试中，这种“问题思维”也不可或缺，例如在雅思中，Part 3一般考察对社会现象的看法，问题灵活且开放性强，这需要我们多角度回答，以展现我们的辩证思维。
场景思维
Supporting evidence is needed when an argument is purposed. But be aware not to state the obvious which would make our argument rather tenuous.
每当我们提出一个论点时，我们就需要寻找合适的论据来支撑该论点。在英语写作中，切忌讲大道理或者绕圈子，否则会有论证不充分之嫌。
It’s undeniable that reading extensively can help us accumulate background knowledge that is useful in our writing. But in the exam, finding concrete examples may not be easy.
当然看新闻学英语，如果想要细化论证，平时的阅读和积累必不可少，丰富的背景知识可以让我们如虎添翼。但在考场上，具体的事例可能并不容易信手拈来。
However, we can introduce a specific scene based on our life experience and describe it with rich details. By expounding on this scene and how it relates to our argument, our readers tend to comprehend better and resonate with us.
我们这时可以选择构建生活中具体的场景，并用生动的细节来填充这个场景，从而让读者获得身临其境的体验，这对于细化论证十分有帮助。

Q&A
Q:
I easily get nervous when I do the listening part in the exams. What can I do to overcome it?
我考试中做听力部分时很容易紧张，我该怎么克服呢？
A:
It’s normal to get nervous, and sitting in the exam room usually magnifies this feeling. However, our nervousness can be relieved if our familiarity with the language grows, and listening daily helps. Besides, do not regret the missing answers. Focus on what’s being played at the moment.
做听力题时感到紧张很正常，尤其是考试会把这种情绪放大。一方面需要平时多听，来提高我们对这门语言的熟悉程度；另一方面不要患得患失，错过的答案要果断放下，把精力集中到正在播放的听力内容上。
Q&A
Q:
What should I do if there are many new words that I don’t understand in the passage?
如果文章中有很多生词我不理解，我该怎么办？
A:
In fact, it’s OK to ignore these new words during the exam as long as we can still get the main idea. Even if they do get in our way of understanding the passage, we can try to guess their parts of speech and meanings based on their roots, affixes, and context. If possible, make notes of these words after reading, and ponder on their usage in example sentences.
如果是在考试过程中看新闻学英语，首先不要慌，只要这些生词不影响理解文意看新闻学英语，我们大可忽略。若影响理解，则可以根据上下文语境以及词根词缀，大胆猜测生词的词性和意思。如果是在平时做题的过程中，最好在完成题目后做好积累，并将生词放在例句和文章中理解。
Q&A
Q:
How to memorize the new words, especially the complicated ones?
如何记忆新单词，尤其是复杂的单词？
A:
Pay attention to their English definition when you look them up in the dictionary. Try to create your own sentences which can be inspired by anything in your surroundings. Whenever you speak or write, use these words as many times as possible.
查字典时留心英英释义，并用自己身边的事物随手造个句，以后每次说英语或者写英语的时候都想方设法用进去。
Q&A
Q:
What can we do during the week before the exam?
考试前一周我们可以做些什么呢？
A:
Keep your familiarity through daily input. Check your notes for useful words and expressions. Do one or two model tests to convince yourself that you’ve worked really hard. And stay relaxed!
保持语感（可以适当听听力、读读英文文章或小说），翻看自己的积累笔记（如平时总结的单词和用法），做一到两套模拟题增强信心，以及保持轻松愉悦的心情。
