Well the first thing that you need to do is you need to establish the specific reasons.

首先你要做的是明確指出原因。

why you are not getting the score that you need?

為什麼你達不到目標分數？

There will be very very specific things related to grammar, vocabulary, task achievement, coherence and cohesion, fluency, pronunciation.

一定會有個很明確的地方待改進，可能是文法、詞彙量、切題性、連貫性與流暢度，或是發音。

Depending on what part of the test you need to work on,

這會依據你想看到進步的測驗題型而有所不同。

there will be very specific things that are causing you to get a lower score than you're hoping for.

你的得分之所以比預期低，一定出自非常明確的理由。

So what you need to do is you need to figure out exactly which areas are causing you to get that lower score.

因此你必須弄清楚究竟是什麼原因害你拿低分。

So for the reading and listening tests, that will mean doing practice tests, looking at your own mistakes, and figuring out things yourself.

閱讀和聽力方面，你得做練習測驗、檢視自己的錯誤，靠自己釐清問題。

For the speaking and writing parts, you'll need to get a really good teacher to look at your writing, listen to your speaking.

而關於口說、寫作考試，你就需要一位稱職的老師來審閱你的作文、聽你練習口試。

And they will be able to tell you the very specific things that are causing you to get 6, 6.5.

他們會非常精確地告訴你，為什麼你會拿到 6 分或 6.5 分。

And the things that you need to do in order to move to a 7, but that's just the first stage.

也會告訴你要做什麼才能進步到 7 分，但這只是第一步。

The second stage is you need to learn how to do those things.

第二步，你得學會怎麼實踐這些方法。

So if you need a band 7, you need to learn how to do band 7 things.

如果你想拿 7 分，你就要滿足 7 分的條件。

So identify your weaknesses and then learn how to turn those into strengths.

辨識出你的弱點，並且學習如何把它們轉化成你的強項。

But that's just the second stage. The third stage is you need to do those things.

但這只是第二步，第三步是確實去實踐。

So many of you will learn what to do, but you'll never actually do those things.

有很多人在學會怎麼做以後，都不會去實踐這些方法。

For example, you might watch a video on how to paraphrase, but you'll never actually practice paraphrasing.

舉例來說，你可能看了一部關於「重新敘述」的影片，卻從來沒有試著重新敘述看看。

So identify your weaknesses first stage, second stage learn what to do, third stage do that thing.

所以辨明弱點是第一步，第二步掌握方法，第三步則是實踐。

But that's just the third stage.

但那只是第三步而已。

The fourth stage is you need feedback on doing that thing.

到了第四步，你需要得到別人的反饋。

So for example, you might identify the paraphrasing is an issue; you learn how to do that.

例如你發覺自己不太會重述，於是學會了怎麼做。

You try a few paraphrases.

你嘗試了幾次重述。

And then you get a teacher to look at your paraphrasing and give you feedback on your work.

接著你就需要一位老師來幫你看看你的重述練習，並給你意見回饋。

Because if you don't follow that crucial step, then you're not going to know if you've learnt how to do it properly or not.

因為如果缺少了這關鍵的一步，你就不知道自己是否正確實行了該方法。

You're not going to know if you have made lots of mistakes or everything's good.

你不會知道自己究竟是錯了一堆，還是完美實踐。

So that is the second final stage. The final stage is: improve.

以上是倒數第二步，最後一步是：做出改善。

Take action on the feedback that your teacher gives you.

根據老師給你的意見回饋來做出行動。

And improve it, and learn how to do that thing properly.

接著改進並學習怎麼做好那件事情。

So it goes around in a circle.

所以整個學習步驟是個循環。

Find out what your weaknesses are, learn how to turn those into strengths, do those things, get feedback, and improve.

找出你的弱點有哪些、轉化成強項、實踐、取得反饋、改進。

And then if you apply that strategy to every part of your IELTS preparation, you're going to see massive improvement.

如果你能在雅思備考過程中把這個策略應用在每一個環節上，就能看見顯著的進步。

Hope that helps you out.

希望這些對你有幫助。

Take action and keep it simple. Thank you!

確實實踐，別弄得太複雜。謝謝觀賞！
