Do you find yourself rustling a lot of papers in the IELTS reading section, trying to skim and scan for keywords and just not finding the answers in time?

你是不是常常在 IELTS 閱讀測驗區裡弄得紙張沙沙響，試圖略讀和掃描關鍵字，卻總是來不及找到答案呢？

程度副詞

Is 20 minutes not enough to finish the reading section?

20 分鐘不夠你完成閱讀測驗嗎？

In this video, I will teach you the correct strategies to clear the IELTS reading and explain why skimming and scanning are ineffective.

這支影片我會教你正確的策略來搞定 IELTS 閱讀，並解釋為什麼略讀和掃描其實沒什麼效。

Although you may have heard from some people that skimming and scanning are good strategies to find the answers by looking for keywords like names and dates and high level vocabulary, this is definitely not the primary strategy for those high band 789 candidates.

雖然你可能聽別人說，略讀和掃描是尋找答案的好方法，像是透過尋找名字、日期和高階詞彙這些關鍵字，但這絕對不是高分 (7-9分) 應考者的主要策略。

Certainly IELTS teachers and examiners would not choose skimming and scanning as their number one method to clear the exam and get a perfect score.

當然，IELTS 教師和考官也不會選擇略讀和掃描作為他們的首要方法來通過考試並拿到滿分。

The question types and the paraphrasing of the keywords makes it virtually impossible to skim and scan for most of the answers.

題型和關鍵字的意譯，讓大多數的答案幾乎不可能透過略讀和掃描找到。

Well, when you have true, false, not given questions, how do you skim or scan for information that is not given?

嗯，當你有 True, False, Not Given 題型時，你該怎麼略讀或掃描那些沒有給的資訊呢？

You'll end up reading the text anyway to figure out that the information is nowhere to be found, otherwise you'll probably just get it wrong.

你最後還是得把整篇文章讀完，才能確定那些資訊根本不存在，不然你很可能會答錯。

When you have to match information to paragraphs, you might end up skim reading the entire passage to figure out that the first question is found in the conclusion.

當你需要做段落配對題時，你可能會把整篇文章都略讀完，結果發現第一個問題竟然在結論裡。

Does this mean that skimming and scanning are completely useless?

這是不是代表略讀和掃描完全沒用呢？

They can be useful as long as you do it with purpose.

它們還是有用的，只要你有目的地去使用。

Simply put, there is just no way of getting around reading the passage.

簡單來說，你就是無法避免要閱讀整篇文章。

Even if you don't understand all of the information, you still need to take 78 minutes to read the passage.

就算你不是每個細節都懂，你還是需要花 7-8 分鐘來閱讀文章。

Even if you read the passage in 10 minutes, you will still have 10 minutes remaining to answer the 1214 questions.

就算你 10 分鐘就讀完文章，你還是有 10 分鐘的時間可以回答 12-14 題。

An average of 1 minute per question is plenty to find the right answer.

平均一題一分鐘，絕對夠你找出正確答案。

If you're not finding the correct answer on average within 60 seconds for each of the reading questions.

如果你平均每題閱讀測驗區的題目都無法在 60 秒內找到正確答案。

The issue is not with your reading speed, it is more with comprehension.

問題不在於你的閱讀速度，而是理解能力。

In this case, you need to focus your studies more on understanding the text.

這種情況下，你需要更專注於理解文章內容。

There are some very powerful strategies to do this, such as visualization and critical thinking.

有一些非常強大的策略可以做到這一點，像是視覺化和批判性思考。

Engaging the information in the text Imagining that you are in the text.

讓自己沉浸在文章內容中，想像自己就在那個情境裡。

You can learn more about these strategies in your premium package@aehelp.com for academic IELTS and ghelp.com for for general IELTS when you click on the full interactive course.

你可以在 premium package@aehelp.com (學術類 IELTS) 和 ghelp.com (一般類 IELTS) 找到更多關於這些策略的資訊，只要點擊完整的互動課程。

These strategies can be found in the beginning in Key Strategies.

這些策略可以在「關鍵策略」單元中找到。

Once you improve your coherence score and you understand at least 60% of the text, you are well on your way to getting a band score of 6.5 or more.

一旦你的連貫性分數進步，並且能理解至少 60% 的文章內容，你就能朝著達到 6.5 分或更高的分數邁進。

Let's take a look at a sample reading passage.

我們來看看一個範例閱讀文章。
