雅思考官揭祕：雅思口語高分的祕密武器
Listen closely and I will give you all the secrets to getting great scores in IELTS, they are of course…. wait for it… Lots of practice and more practice.
聽仔細嘍！下面我就告訴你雅思得高分的祕訣。當然，有了祕訣後，一定要練習再練習！
There are no simple answers but there are some things you can do that will help you along the way. Here is a very simple one that is often overlooked. Speaking loudly.
考雅思並無捷徑，但一些小技巧還是挺有幫助的。下面這個簡單的方法就常被忽略：那就是大聲講出來。
You are being marked on your speaking skill so everything you say will come into account. Even if you say it wrong, it is better that what was said wrong was easy to hear. Speaking loudly can also show you are confident and as it is said “confidence begets confidence”.
考官會給你的口語打分，所以，你講話的每個細節都很重要。哪怕你講錯了，只要考官聽得清楚，也還情有可原。俗話說，自信的人越自信。大聲講出來可以表示你有信心。
I sometimes think of it this way. When you were at school, and I’m sure all of you had to do this at least once in class, “the dreaded speech!” Those that spoke loudly and clearly during their speech always sounded like they knew what they were doing and even if they made a million and one mistakes it wasn’t as embarrassing as the timid student you could hardly hear and whose face was the color of a Valentines Rose but remember; never shout as that is just plain scary during a test.
舉個例子吧。我想很多人在學校裏至少有過一次“可怕的演講”。那些聲音洪亮、思維清晰的學生往往看上去也胸有成竹，就算犯了再多錯誤也不覺得尷尬。而羞怯的學生講話蚊子似的，臉比情人節玫瑰還紅。當然，“大聲講出來”並非要大喊大叫，否則就太嚇人了。
If you are worried that your English is bad and no one could possibly understand you then listen and fear not, Say it loud, Say it proud. Native speakers aren't always that easy to understand either.
如果你擔心自己英語太挫，別人可能聽不懂，那也別害怕，驕傲、大膽講出來就行。要知道，就算英語是母語的人，相互之間也不一定完全聽懂呢！
