未來簡單式

My name is Emma and in today's video we're going to talk about the test known as the IELTS.

我叫艾瑪，今天要講的是雅思(IELTS)測驗

現在進行式

So if you are going to be writing the IELTS, this video is for you.

如果你正打算參加雅思測驗，那麼今天的課程就很適合你

Now, in this video we're talking specifically about if you're writing the academic IELTS.

今天講的雅思特別是針對準備考學術組(準備留學)的人

If you're, you know, just here for general interest, you can still learn quite a bit

如果你只是為了興趣而來，你仍然可以從這部影片學到不少東西

from this video because we will be talking about different vocabulary and grammar.

因為我們會教一些不同的單字及文法

So this video can also help you if you're not taking the IELTS also.

即使你不打算考雅思，這部影片也會對你有所助益

Okay, so what are we going to be talking about specifically in this video?

我們今天要講的主題到底是什麼呢？

Well, if you're taking the IELTS you probably know that there's a writing part of the IELTS.

如果你要考雅思，你也許知道考試其中一項為「寫作」

The writing part has two sections, we call them Writing Task 1 and Writing Task 2.

「寫作」分為兩部份，我們稱之為「題型1」與「題型2」

In this video I'm going to cover a small bit of Writing Task 1.

今天的課程將簡要介紹「題型1」

So, in Writing Task 1, you're going to be given some sort of visual image.

在「題型1」裡你會看到一些圖像

So you might see something like this, this, or this.

所以你可能會看像這幾種的圖像

It might be a chart, it might be a table, but you're going to see some sort of visual

可能是圖表，可能是表格，一些圖象化的東西

and you need to describe what you're seeing.

I've covered different types of Writing Task 1 and I'll talk about the links to some of

已經含括了各種不同形式的「題型1」，我會在影片結束時堤供各位

these other videos at the end, but in this specific video we're going to be talking about

一些相同主題影片的連結，但是今天我主要講的是

Well, so I have here three different types of charts or graphs.

We have this one, this one, and this one.

I've covered this in another video, so if you're interested in learning how to write

我在另一部影片裡有詳細解說，如果你想知道如何描述圓餅圖

about pie charts, you can check out that video.

But you'll notice with a pie chart it looks kind of like a pizza or a pie.

圓餅圖看起來有點像一個披薩或是派

Has different colours representing different percents.

裡面用不同的顏色來表所佔的百分比

We have here, this is called a line graph.

So you'll notice that there's a line and, you know, sometimes this represents time,

你會看到像這樣的一條線，橫軸有時代表時間

sometimes it represents other things, but with a line graph you'll notice, like, increases

有時代表其他東西，線形圖可以看出增減的變化

and decreases, but it's one connected line.

We're not covering either of these in this video.

What we're going to be covering is another thing you might see on the IELTS, which is

今天要講的是另一個你可能在雅思會看到的

This is called a bar graph or a bar chart.

So we have here these rectangular-shaped things that are each a different colour.

So, I know a bar is a place you go to buy beer, but in this case a bar is not that,

我知道 bar (酒吧) 是去喝酒的地方，但在這裡的 bar 不是指酒吧

it's actually this kind of rectangle on the chart.

So, on the IELTS you may get a picture of something like this.

在雅思測驗你會看到這類的圖表

You might actually get a picture of two things together, or you might get a picture of something

實際上你可能會看到兩種合併在一起的的圖表，或是比這種

In this case we're going to talk about: What would you do and say, and what are some tips

因此今天我們就要教你：如果你看到長條圖時

if you get a picture of a bar graph or a bar chart?

Okay, so what are you going to have to do?

After you get a picture like this, they're going to ask you to describe what you see.

給你看一個這樣的圖形，然後要求你將所看到的描述出來

Okay? So you're describing the main information.

所以你要描述出圖形裡涵蓋的主要資訊

You're also going to have to maybe make comparisons, say how things are similar or how things are

也許你還要做一些比較，例如有哪些相似或相異之處

So, for example, if this is, you know, different activities, maybe you might say that the red

例如要表示不同的活動，你可以說紅色

是代表購物，藍色代表打高爾夫球

In this case, shopping is less popular than golfing. Okay?

以這個例子來說，購物比打高爾夫更不受歡迎

So pretty much you need to compare the different bars and say: What are the same about them?

你需要比較這些不同的條狀指標：它們的共通性是什麼？

Which ones are similar and which ones are different?

佊此的相似處和相異處又是什麼？

You're also going to have to report any main features or trends.

你還要指出來圖表主要的特點或代表的趨勢是什麼

So maybe you'll see a pattern and you're going to have to write about, you know, some of

要根據題目圖形上面給你的資訊

these main points you see when you look at the visualization.

Okay? So if this is a graph on education, maybe this is elementary school, secondary school,

如果這是個有關教育體系的圖表，這些長條就可能代表小學，中學

university, master's, and like a doctorate or something - you do not write what you think

大學，碩、博士等，不是靠自己的想像力去寫

All you do is in this type of question, you're just writing what you see and what it means.

對這類的題型，你只要寫下你看到的資訊和代表的意義

You're not writing your opinion on anything.

So you should not write the words: "I think" or "In my opinion", you'll actually lose marks

所以不要寫類似「我認為」或「按照我的看法」這種字眼，否則你會因此

So in task 1, no opinion; that's for task 2.

所以「題型一」不是要你發表個人意見，那是「題型二」才要做的事

Okay, so for something like this, and we will look at an example question, you have about

好，我們來舉一下例子，做這個大題你只有大約

You know, you're responsible for your timing, but something like this should take you about

你必須自己掌握答題時間，這個單元約需要用到20分鐘

20 minutes and you need to write at least 150 words.

So it's very important to write at least 150 words.

There is such a thing as too many words, so you don't have to write 800, that would be

字數太多也不行，你不需要寫到800個字

You know, maybe 170 is fine, but you don't want to write way too much either.

也許 170 個字還可以，但就是不要超過太多

Okay, so now we're going to look at an example of a question for this and some more tips

現在就來看看例題以及更多答題技巧

How to write when you look at a bar graph.

Okay, so I have here an example of an IELTS question.

So, here's the chart and here is the question itself.

It says: "The chart shows information about changes in the average housing prices

題目：「圖表顯示 1990 到 2000 年間，在三個不同城市

in three different cities between 1990 and 2000.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features

整合這些資料，選擇並指出主要的特徵

So, for a question like this you will again have about 20 minutes, and you'll also have...

同樣的，你有約20分鐘時間答題，你還要...

So, what do a lot of students do when they see this?

大多數學生看到題目後的反應是如何呢？

They go: "Oh my gosh. I... I don't know what to do. I panic."

他們反應是：「天啊...我不知道怎麼答題，我很緊張。」

Right? A lot of students get really stressed out, but this is something you can do.

對吧？許多學生會覺得壓力很大，但是你可以這麼做

So, the number one thing you need to do is take a breath, first thing, and then think

第一，先吸一口氣，然後再想想看
