As in the reading section, each part gets a little bit more challenging as you progress.

與閱讀部分一樣，隨著考試的深入，每個部分的難度都會增加。

So make sure that you start strong and focused.

所以請確保你強有力且全神貫注的開始。

Let's start with listening part one, photographs.

讓我們從聽力第一部分——照片開始。

Before we look at the instructions and the task, be sure to hit that subscribe button and be the first to know about brand new TOEIC videos.

在瞭解說明和任務之前，請務必按下訂閱，以便第一時間瞭解全新的 TOEIC 影片。

All right, let's get right into it.

好了，讓我們開始吧。

First, you're going to see a picture like this one here.

首先，你將看到這樣一張圖片。

The main thing you'll do is think about what you see.

你要做的主要事情就是思考你所看到的。

In this case, we have a woman sitting at a desk.

在本例中，我們看到一位女士坐在辦公桌前。

So ask yourself, "Where is she? What is she doing? How does she feel?"

那麼問問自己：「她在哪裡？她在做什麼？她感覺如何？」

Don't worry about trying to anticipate what is happening exactly, or trying to get the answer perfectly correct.

不要擔心要準確預測正在發生的事情，也不要試圖得到完全正確的答案。

You just want to get your brain moving and engaged.

你只想讓大腦動起來。

Don't wait for the correct answers.

不要等待正確答案。

Next, you're going to hear four answer options.

接下來，你將聽到答案選項。

In this case, you won't see them, you'll only hear them.

在這種情況下，你不會看到它們，你只會聽到它們。

Before we listen, here are a few things to note.

在我們聆聽之前，以下有幾點需要注意。

First of all, the sentences will be fairly simple.

首先，句子會相當簡單。

They'll often use the present continuous tense.

它們通常使用現在進行時態。

"The boy is sleeping." "They are playing."

像是「男孩正在睡覺」、「他們正在玩。」

Also, some of the questions will require you to make some inferences.

此外，有些問題需要你做出推斷。

This means it won't always be very obvious.

這意味著推理並不總是非常明顯。

Imagine you see a little girl playing video games and the mother is standing behind her with an unhappy look on her face.

想象一下，你看到一個小女孩在玩電動，而媽媽站在她身後，臉上帶著不高興的表情。

An easy version might be "The girl is playing video games."

簡單的說法可能是「女孩正在玩電動。」

But a harder one might be "The mother is losing her patience."

但更難的可能是「母親正在失去耐心。」

This is why it's important to ask yourself those questions.

這就是為什麼問自己這些問題很重要。

"Who are they? What are they doing? Where are they? And how do they feel?"

「他們是誰？他們在做什麼？他們在哪裡？他們感覺如何？」

Okay, so let's go back to our photo and we'll hear the four answer options.

好了，讓我們回到照片上，聽聽四個答案選項。

Sadly, you won't see them. It is a listening test after all.

遺憾的是，你看不到它們，畢竟這是一個聽力測驗。

Let's listen together. Pick the answer you think is correct.

讓我們一起來聽一聽。選出你認為正確的答案。

在測驗中，你只能聽一次。

But, anytime you struggle with one of these questions, don't feel bad if you have to listen again.

但無論何時，如果你在其中一個問題上遇到困難必須再聽一遍，請不要感到難過。

It's good practice and it will improve your listening.

So I'll go with C. She stopped working, so she's taking a break.

所以我選 C，她停止了工作，正在休息。

Now, keep in mind, if you're able to understand me now, then you should be able to understand the language used in this part of the test.

請記住，如果你現在能聽懂我說的話，那你應該也能聽懂這部分的測驗用語。
