你有沒有注意到，凱文報了自己的本名，他說，但你可以叫我凱文。

This is common if you have an English name.

如果您有一個英文名字，這種情況很常見。

在測試中，他們可能會想聽聽你原來的母語名字和你喜歡的名字。

So, you can say, you can call me.

所以，你可以說，你可以給我打電話。

In this case, you can call me Kevin.

在這種情況下，你可以叫我凱文。

At the beginning of the IELTS test, you'll be required to provide some ID, but as this is a practice test, we don't need to do that today.

在雅思考試開始時，您需要提供一些身份證件，但由於這是一次模擬考試，我們今天不需要這樣做。

I want to begin by talking about you.

我想先談談你。

Do you work or do you study?

你是工作還是學習？

I'm a full-time university student at the University of Melbourne, studying the IELTS.

我是墨爾本大學的全日制大學生，正在學習雅思。

You just told me, but what do you study?

你剛告訴我了，但你是學什麼的？

Can you tell me a bit more about that?

你能告訴我更多這方面的情況嗎？

I do a Bachelor of Biomedicine.

我讀的是生物醫學學士學位。

It's a pretty much set course on either research, scientific research, or medicine school in the future, but I still haven't decided which path I might take.

我已經確定了未來的發展方向，要麼是研究，要麼是科學研究，要麼是醫學院，但我還沒決定要走哪條路。

At the moment, I'm majoring in genetics, and I have a particular interest in genetics and especially CRISPR technology, which allow us to edit genes and maybe cure cancer in the future and all sorts of diseases that we aren't able to cure at the moment.

目前，我主修遺傳學，我對遺傳學尤其是CRISPR技術特別感興趣，這項技術可以讓我們編輯基因，也許將來可以治癒癌症和各種我們目前還無法治癒的疾病。

Kevin makes a great start here.

凱文在這裡開了個好頭。

A couple of points that I want to be really picky on.

有幾點我想挑剔一下。

So, he said, which pass.

所以，他說，哪些通行證。

It's a common mistake for people who don't have the th sound.

這是不懂 "th "音的人經常犯的錯誤。

He should be pronouncing the word path.

他的發音應該是 "路徑"。

So, be careful if you don't have the sound in your language.

是以，如果您的語言中沒有這個音，一定要小心。

He spoke about his full-time university degree in biomedicine and gave some extra evidence, and he elaborated on his answer, which is really great.

他談到了自己全日制大學的生物醫學學位，並提供了一些額外的證據，他還詳細闡述了自己的答案，這真的很棒。

He improves his fluency mark.

他提高了流利度分數。

And why did you choose this subject?

你為什麼選擇這個主題？

I always...

我總是...

I'm just going to pause Kevin here.

我想讓凱文暫停一下。

Did you notice that he struggled a little bit to think of an idea, and he hesitated?

你有沒有注意到，他在想一個主意時有些掙扎和猶豫？

If you want to score a Band 9, you can hesitate, but don't hesitate too much.

如果您想得到 9 級，您可以猶豫，但不要猶豫太多。

If you're looking for ideas, that's normal.

如果你在尋找點子，這很正常。

But he...

但他...

I noticed that he was looking up at the sky, and he was...

我注意到他在仰望天空，他...

So, just be prepared to speak as much as possible, as quickly as possible.

是以，請做好準備，儘可能多、儘可能快地發言。

It's not bad here, but I noticed that he did struggle a little bit.

這裡還不錯，但我注意到他確實有點吃力。

So, I was introduced to this topic by a Netflix documentary.

是以，我是通過 Netflix 的一部紀錄片瞭解到這個話題的。

I think it's called Unnatural Selection, and it talks about gene drive and a lot of the ethical issues surrounding genetics, but it also talks about the potential and the exciting new area that CRISPR have brought to us.

我想這本書叫做《非自然選擇》（Unnatural Selection），它講述了基因驅動和許多圍繞遺傳學的倫理問題，但也談到了 CRISPR 給我們帶來的潛力和令人興奮的新領域。

So, I always thought this is a very interesting topic.

是以，我一直認為這是一個非常有趣的話題。

I wanted to So, I decided to continue on.

於是，我決定繼續前進。

And do you enjoy the place where you study?

你喜歡你學習的地方嗎？

I have to say not the best this year because it's all online, but usually at university campus, it's always exciting because from lectures to lectures, we go to different buildings, and it's always good to see, meet other people and see different, especially if we have lectures in the what's it called?

我得說今年不是最好的，因為都是在線學習，但通常在大學校園裡，總是令人興奮的，因為從講座到講座，我們會去不同的建築，去看看、認識其他人、看看不同的東西總是很好的，特別是如果我們在那個叫什麼來著的地方有講座的話。

The design school, and the building is really nice, and the lecture theatres are really big and modern, and I enjoy having classes in there.

設計學院和教學樓非常漂亮，階梯教室也非常寬敞現代，我很喜歡在那裡上課。

Did you notice again that Kevin struggled a little bit with finding a word, and he was looking for the word design school.

你有沒有注意到，凱文在找一個詞的時候有點費勁，他在找設計學校這個詞。

If you want to score a band eight or above in the lexical resource mark, you can't really be thinking too much for words, and this will affect your fluency and coherence as well.

如果您想在詞彙資源方面獲得八分或以上的分數，您就不能真的為單詞想太多，這也會影響您的流利性和連貫性。

So, the hesitancy, making hesitations will really affect your mark if you're looking for words.

所以，如果你在找單詞時猶豫不決，會影響你的分數。

I think in this case, he would probably be limited now to a band eight in the fluency and coherence mark because he couldn't find the word design school.

我認為，在這種情況下，他現在的流利度和連貫性可能會被限制在八級，因為他找不到設計學校這個詞。

He also said, I have to say, it's not the best year.

他還說，我不得不說，這不是最好的一年。

I have to say is a great filler phrase which you could use in your test.

我不得不說，這是一個很好的填充短語，您可以在測試中使用。

Okay, let's move on to the topic of clothes.

好了，我們繼續談衣服的話題。

Is what you wear important to you?

你的穿著對你來說重要嗎？

Well, I actually spend way more than average time that I would spend on clothing today, but usually I don't really care too much about clothing as long as it's comfortable, and as long as I'm not in my pyjamas, I can just go to uni, spend a day there or at the library, and then come home, and then it'll be easy, and it won't be.

實際上，我現在花在服裝上的時間比一般人要多得多，但通常我並不太在意服裝，只要穿著舒服，只要不是穿著睡衣，我就可以去大學，在那裡或圖書館待上一天，然後回家，這樣就會很輕鬆，但也不會很輕鬆。

I don't care too much about fashion, but as long as it doesn't make me look bad or it's comfortable, I'm fine with it.

我不太在意時尚，但只要它不會讓我難看或穿著舒服，我就沒問題。

And do you prefer wearing formal or relaxed clothing?

您喜歡穿正裝還是休閒裝？

Or relaxed for sure.

或者說放鬆是肯定的。

I don't particularly enjoy wearing jeans because sometimes, like after a whole day wearing it, it's a bit tight and things might get uncomfortable.

我不是特別喜歡穿牛仔褲，因為有時候，比如穿了一整天，牛仔褲會有點緊，可能會不舒服。

So, I do enjoy wearing like exercise, like sporting pants, and it makes things easier for me.

是以，我很喜歡穿運動裝，比如運動褲，這讓我更輕鬆。

And as I've said, I don't really care too much about fashion.

正如我所說，我並不太在意時尚。

Maybe I should, but I don't personally, so I don't mind wearing comfortable things.

也許我應該這麼做，但我個人並不這麼認為，所以我不介意穿舒適的衣服。

Great, excellent.

很好，非常好。

Kevin's doing a great job here.

凱文在這裡做得很好。

Pronunciation of the word clothing, clothing, very difficult for people from countries without this th sound again.

對於來自沒有這個 th 音的國家的人來說，"服裝"（clothing）這個詞的發音非常困難。

I know Kevin's from China originally, and Chinese doesn't have the th sound, so clothing, clothing, not closing, clothing.

我知道凱文來自中國，而中文沒有th這個音，所以 "服裝"、"服裝"，而不是 "關門"、"服裝"。

He said, I don't care too much about fashion.

他說，我不太在意時尚。

He just goes to uni.

他只是去上大學。

He contracted the word university, so university is uni.

他把大學一詞縮略了，所以大學就是 uni。

I usually don't care too much.

我通常不會太在意。

He said, for sure.

他肯定地說。

For sure means definitely.

肯定 "就是 "一定 "的意思。

And he gave great answers.

他給出了很好的答案。

I'm not concerned too much.

我不太擔心。

Just a couple of areas now that probably are going to limit him from getting a band nine, but he's on track for a band eight at the moment.

現在有幾個方面可能會限制他獲得九級，但他目前正在向八級邁進。

And does your country have any traditional clothing?

貴國有傳統服裝嗎？

I think we do, but yeah, but I think it's more of a, there's something called qipao, which is mainly worn by, I think, female.

我想是的，但我覺得這更像是一種叫做旗袍的東西，我想主要是女性穿的。

Oh, look, I'm horrible at Chinese history, but I think we do have like clothes, traditional clothes, but I've personally never worn them because I've never found the right occasion to wear it.

哦，聽著，我對中國歷史一竅不通，但我覺得我們確實有像衣服一樣的傳統服裝，但我個人從未穿過，因為我從未找到合適的場合穿它。

But mainly in a formal event, we stop using traditional Chinese clothes.

但主要是在正式場合，我們不再使用傳統的中式服裝。

It's more westernized and we wear suits and ties just like everyone else.

這裡更加西化，我們和其他人一樣穿西裝打領帶。

Okay, now are some particular pronunciation problems, and it goes back again to this th sound.

好了，現在是一些特殊的發音問題，又回到了 th 音上。

Kevin is struggling a little bit with the th sound, so I know this word is really difficult for Chinese speakers.

凱文在th這個音上有點吃力，所以我知道這個詞對說中文的人來說真的很難。

Clothes, clothes.

衣服，衣服

Kevin says clothes, clothes.

凱文說，衣服，衣服。

The correct pronunciation is clothes, clothes.

正確的發音是 clothes，衣服。

If you can see my tongue, clothes, really, really difficult.

如果你能看到我的舌頭，衣服，真的，真的很難。

He said mainly worn by female.

他說主要是女性佩戴。

Female would be singular and you should say females.

"女性 "是單數，應該說 "女性"。

So, a couple of mistakes starting to creep through here.

是以，這裡開始出現一些錯誤。

He's still doing really well.

他的表現依然很好。

I'm giving him at the moment a solid band eight.

我現在給他打八分。

And has your style changed over time?

隨著時間的推移，您的風格是否有所改變？

Oh, yeah.

哦，是的

I used to enjoy wearing sneakers and like to school and to everything, but I think after I've studied here and in Uni Melbourne, especially staying in the college, my style has not changed.

我以前喜歡穿運動鞋，喜歡穿運動鞋上學，喜歡穿運動鞋做任何事情，但我覺得在這裡和墨爾本大學學習之後，尤其是在學院裡學習之後，我的風格並沒有改變。

He did say, I think, and I might have misheard him, my style has slightly changed.

他確實說過，我想，我可能聽錯了，我的風格略有改變。

I think he needs to say changed, changed.

我認為他需要說 "改變了"、"改變了"。

He used the word comfy.

他用了 "舒適 "這個詞。

Comfy is the contracted form of the word comfortable.

Comfy 是舒適一詞的縮寫形式。

So, he said, I don't mind as long as it's comfy.

所以，他說，只要舒服，我不介意。

And he did say as long as, as long as is a complex grammar form.

他確實說了 "只要"，"只要 "是一個複雜的文法形式。

So, really well done in here.

所以，這裡做得非常好。

And he's showing that he has a variety of complex grammar forms.

他還展示了各種複雜的文法形式。

Now, I want to talk about recycling.

現在，我想談談回收利用。

Do people recycle in the place where you live?

您居住的地方有人回收垃圾嗎？

It's actually implemented last year, I think, in Shanghai specifically, which is the city I came from.

實際上，我想這是去年在上海實施的，我就來自上海。

So, now you have to, so in the block of apartments that we live, there are specific places that have four different kinds of bins and you have to do different types of garbage separately and you have to be responsible for the environment and for the ecosystem.

所以，現在你必須這樣做，在我們住的公寓樓裡，有一些特定的地方有四種不同的垃圾桶，你必須分別處理不同類型的垃圾，你必須對環境和生態系統負責。

I think it's good that we're catching up on all the issues because of global warming.

我認為，由於全球變暖，我們正在抓緊解決所有問題，這是件好事。

It's no small deal and it's the fate of the entire humanity.

這不是一件小事，關係到整個人類的命運。

So, I think it is important that we're implementing these new rules about recycling and garbage disposal rules.

是以，我認為我們必須執行這些關於回收和垃圾處理的新規定。

We've moved on to a new topic now, which is recycling.

我們現在轉到一個新話題，那就是循環利用。

Remember, you might have two topics during part one, you might even have three.

記住，第一部分可能有兩個主題，甚至可能有三個。

In this case, we had clothing and we've moved on to recycling.

在這種情況下，我們有了衣服，就轉向了回收。

Now, the topic of recycling is a common topic and you should be prepared for it during the test.

現在，"回收 "是一個常見的話題，您應該在考試中對此有所準備。

In this case, Kevin made a couple of mistakes.

在這種情況下，凱文犯了幾個錯誤。

He said, it is actually implemented last year.

他說，這實際上是去年實施的。

I think he should have said it was he used words like specific places, which was great.

我覺得他應該說是他用了具體地點這樣的詞，這很好。

You have to be responsible and he used a collocation.

你必須負責任，他用了一個搭配。

He used a phrasal verb.

他用了一個短語動詞。

We are catching up on, to catch up on.

我們正在追趕，要追趕。

Really great language there.

語言非常棒。

I'm very impressed and he said something was the fate of humanity.

我印象非常深刻，他說有些東西是人類的命運。

Kevin's doing a really good job here.

凱文在這裡做得非常好。

He's still at a really solid band eight.

他的八分頻段仍然非常穩定。

Why do people recycle?

人們為什麼要回收？

I think a lot of people don't know too much about this topic and they do it because, well, the government or the officials tell them to and it's sort of almost like a law that we have to obey.

我認為很多人對這個問題並不瞭解，他們這樣做是因為政府或官員讓他們這樣做，這幾乎就像是我們必須遵守的法律。

But I think personally, it's, as I've said, it's about our future.

但我個人認為，正如我所說的，這關係到我們的未來。

Unlike something like three, two, three years and it will pass.

不像三兩三年就過去了。

But with global warming, it's an issue that is linked very closely to our future entirely.

但就全球變暖而言，這是一個與我們的未來完全密切相關的問題。

So if we don't do anything now, it means our future generations won't have a viable earth to live on.

是以，如果我們現在什麼都不做，就意味著我們的子孫後代將無法在地球上生存。

So I think it's important that we start changing the way we live and doing things sustainably so that we can have, we can provide a future for generations to come.

是以，我認為我們必須開始改變我們的生活方式，以可持續的方式做事，這樣我們才能為子孫後代創造一個美好的未來。

Again, did you hear Kevin's pronunciation of the sound?

再說一遍，你聽到凱文的發音了嗎？

He said whizz and he said earths.

他說 whizz，他說 earths。

With and earth.

與和大地。

Really, really, if you don't have this sound in your language, be careful.

真的，真的，如果你的語言中沒有這個音，一定要小心。

Make sure you spend some time focusing on that particular sound.

確保您花一些時間專注於特定的聲音。

Kevin had some really great answers here.

凱文的回答非常精彩。

It's a law that they have to follow.

這是他們必須遵守的法律。

He said a pandemic that will haunt us to haunt somebody.

他說，大流行病將困擾我們，困擾某些人。

High level language.

高級語言

For me, Kevin is sitting between a band eight and a band eight point five.

對我來說，凱文介於八級和八點五級之間。

He's doing exceptionally well.

他做得特別好。

A strict examiner will probably give him an eight, but today I'm going to give him a band eight point five as we go along.

嚴格的考官可能會給他打八分，但今天我打算給他打八點五分。

Hopefully nothing will change.

希望一切照舊。

Do you reuse items?

您會重複使用物品嗎？

Like what kind of items?

比如什麼樣的物品？

Like use it twice.

比如用兩次。

Yeah.

是啊

I mean, I try to stay away from disposable stuff because you use them, you throw it away and it's not the quality of is not really designed to be used the second time or multiple times.

我的意思是，我儘量不買一次性用品，因為用完就扔，品質不好，也不適合第二次或多次使用。

So I, for example, chopsticks and things, I tend to want to use actual plates and bowls so that I don't have to use disposable ones so I can clean them up and I don't have to waste all these things.

所以我，比如說筷子之類的東西，我傾向於使用真正的盤子和碗，這樣我就不必使用一次性盤子和碗，這樣我就可以把它們清理乾淨，也不必浪費這些東西。

And also I think a lot of big companies such as Coca-Cola and even beer companies, they've started to do these recycling things where you finish the bottle and you can give it back to the company for a little bit of recycle things instead of throwing them everywhere and not using it after once.

此外，我認為很多大公司，如可口可樂，甚至啤酒公司，都開始做這些回收工作，你喝完瓶子後，可以把它還給公司，讓公司回收一點東西，而不是到處亂扔，用過一次就不用了。

No major problems here.

沒有大問題。

I think he spoke at length about this particular topic, why people recycle, what his feelings about recycling are.

我想他花了很大的篇幅談了這個特別的話題，人們為什麼要回收，他對回收的感受是什麼。

There's a good word for you, disposable.

有一個好詞送給你，一次性。

I strongly advise you go and listen to some of his language.

Great.

好極了

I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes.

我會給你們一個話題，希望你們就這個話題談一到兩分鐘。

Before you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say.

在你發言之前，你有一分鐘的時間思考你要說的話。

你們有一分鐘時間做筆記。
