You might be worried about not hearing something the first time – examiner, Mark Shea, has out first tip…

你可能擔心你第一次沒聽到全部內容。

Make sure you’re familiar with the structure of the exam.

Mark Shea 主考員分享第一個訣竅。

Sometimes you’ll hear things one time only; sometimes you might hear things twice.

請確實了解考試的結構。

So find out before the exam how many times you’ll hear the text.

有時候你只會聽到一次題目，

It will affect the way you listen. Next, read the question carefully　before the listening audio begins.

有時候你會聽到題目兩次，

Know what you’re listening for.

所以考前要先了解你會聽到幾次題目內容。

Are you listening for specific details? Or more general points?

這會影響你如何聽，下一步，在聽音檔前要先看過題目。

If you miss something during the exam, don’t panic, just keep going and try to focus on the rest of the exam.

要先知道你會聽到的內容是什麼。

Listen to the advice this student gives…

你將會聽到特別的細節？或是主旨？如果你在考試時漏聽一些內容，不要驚慌。

Well, when you didn’t catch the answer and you have to leave a gap because you didn’t understand it, then try not to care about it and try to forget the mistakes and go straight to other things.

繼續作答，並專注於剩下的考試題目。

Next, how do you focus your listening?

請聽這個學生給予的建議 ...

Language teacher, Margaret John, has an idea…

當你不知道答案時，

Keep your finger on the question.

因為你不懂，你必須跳過，然後不要在意，

Don’t be distracted by all that other language going around. So keep your eyes on the question.

忘記犯的錯誤，繼續作答。

When you’ve heard the answer to that question, move straight to the next question, and put your finger on it, and pay attention to that and that alone.

下一步，如何專注於聽力？

So carry on, don't get distracted – put your finger on the question and listen only for the answer to that question.

Margaret John 老師有個點子 ...

If you have the chance to hear things twice, try and form an opinion the first time you listen, and then the second time you listen you should be confirming that your guess was right the

用手指指著問題。

Make sure that you do listen the second time, and don’t just think that you’ve got the answer right the first time round.

不要被其他周遭的語言干擾分心，讓你的眼睛專注在問題。

Finally, if there's time at the end, check your answers and see if they make sense.

當你聽到問題的答案，直接前往下一個問題，

Good luck!

然後你的手指指著題目，並且專注於此。
