前情提要
前篇文有收到一些問題詢問雅思哥預測的準度
我完全是免費使用者,單純想分享不少人很好奇的準度
打鐵趁熱分享兩次考試準備期間使用的預測練題內容
以及著重在實際遇到的口說和寫作題目
寫作篇幅較大,都放在各科的最後
先講重點:口說都在預測範圍中,寫作主題有相關
另外由於前篇文夾雜了自己的心路歷程篇幅太長
最後會小小總整理前篇的準備過程重點
有需要詳細可用電腦版依照重點關鍵字對照搜尋前篇文

🌜 二戰 🌛 考完後有詳細記下(2024/09/29)
💡 Listening
💡 Reading
因為覺得預測的部分非常受益於雅思哥的資源,
所以有回饋在 App 上
聽力較難敘述但無法貼連結,對於題目有興趣的話詳細再私訊~
聽力我用關鍵字有 google 到雅思哥找不到的題目
另外三個能在雅思哥真題題庫搜尋到(需要付費才能練習的,我沒有付費)
閱讀題目我從 google 可以搜尋到:
passage 1 - chilli peppers
passage 2 - classical and neoclassical theories of organizational structures
passage 3 - travel account(付費題庫有)
雅思哥上有真題機經可以練,需要付費
我覺得練習 Cambridge IELTS 題目已練不完,所以沒有在這部分花錢
另外有跟一些其他家機構的顧問索取資源
他們通常會問什麼時候考,說「可以給閱讀預測題」
通常都是超多頁的 pdf,但我沒有看 😅
可!是!
有其他家的顧問說電腦考其實是隨機出題,只有紙筆考有機會被預測到
這部分也可以斟酌選擇~
(我主要只有考量自己作答的優勢,雖然也很希望能預先做準備但寫作我覺得電腦考比較順手)
然後雅思哥的閱讀預測雖然有寫紙筆考、電腦考都適用
未付費可以在 App 看文章內容,沒辦法看題目
我沒有時間看完每一篇,這部分沒辦法進一步分享
💡 Speaking
我的兩次考試跨越換題季(每年 1、5、8 月結束會換)
基本上我都有練過想講的內容
如果沒有練完整內容也會確認自己有想法,且能帶入曾練過的內容
有遇過老師有建議可以分類 part 2 題目,不同題目其實有很大機會可以講到相同故事
被打斷不要擔心,基本上會是因為時間到了
我在每一 part 分別都在時間到被打斷,各一次
以下在雅思預測裡都有一樣的題目(9~12 月會是同一批預測題目)
Part 1
是學生還是工作 / 喜歡工作嗎 / 紙本閱讀和電子閱讀差異 / wake up early / 有什麼 morning routine 嗎 / 其他忘了
Part 2
形容一個幫你 achieve your goal 的人
Part 3
被狂問猛問 motivation - 動力哪裡來 / 為什麼有些人很有動力 / 其他忘了
補充:
雅思哥的老師說如果追問後續題目越問越深
高機率是覺得不錯所以想更深挖考生的程度
網路上的影片也有說考官的角色之一是想辦法讓學生發揮最佳程度
所以口說不要太緊張,不要把考官想成可怕的人
💡 Writing【Task 1】
我印象中當時在雅思哥有看到 9 月考試可針對練習題型:
line chart、table、diagram
以上來源是我有付極低價格的 2 天備考營,那位老師分享的
我遇到的是 line chart,跟國家的 spending 有關
剛好考前幾天有用雅思哥練到跟 spending 相關的題目,所以寫得算順
一考完回到家有搜尋,圖跟這個一樣
題目類似:The line graph shows the percentage of spending in one European country from 1960 to 2000.
google 可找到範文

💡 Writing【Task 2】
我的題目是:
Fathers should be entitled to time off from work when their child is born. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
跟 9 月的預測中 3 有蠻多能共用或換句話說的論點,都跟 caregiver 有關
很難完全一模一樣,但主題有關聯
雅思哥裡面的老師出的預測也不完全跟網站上一樣
所以我完全理解可能只有主題會相關
🔎 9 月的預測主要有以下
(1~5 重點預測,6~15 次重點預測;網站上有寫紙筆考、電腦考都適用)
1. Some people claim many things that children are taught at school are a waste of time. Other people argue that everything taught at school is useful at some time. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
2. Some people think that companies and individuals should pay to clear up the pollution they produced and that the government should not pay for it. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3. In many countries, more and more men are staying at home to look after their children when women work full-time. What are the reasons? Is it a positive or negative development?
4. Some people think climate change has a negative impact on business, while others think that it provides more business opportunities. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
5. Computers are often argued to be the most important invention of the last hundred years. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
6. An increasing number of people are choosing cosmetic surgeries. Why do people have operations to change the way they look? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
7. Some people prefer to have temporary jobs, which means they only work a few months in a year and use the rest of the time to do what they want. What is your opinion?
8. Today, TV channels provide men's sports shows more than women's sports shows. Why? Should TV channels give equal time for women's sports and men's sports?
9. Some experts think that when a country is already rich, any addition in economic wealth does not make its citizens happier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
10. Some people think children have the freedom to make mistakes, while other people believe that adults should prevent children from making mistakes. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
11. Today many people spend less and less time in their homes. What are the reasons and what are the effects of this trend on individuals and society?
12. Some people say that advertising has positive economic effects. Others think it has negative social effects because it will make people feel dissatisfied with who they are and what they have. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
13. Most of the urgent problems can only be solved with international cooperation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
14. Some people think that the only way to improve the safety of our roads is to give much stricter punishments for driving offenses. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
15. The governments should spend money in promoting sport and art in schools, rather than sponsoring professional sports and art events in communities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
二戰寫作我練很認真
Task 1 各題型都有練過然後丟 ChatGPT 改
Task 2 預測題一定會寫過,沒想法的也是依賴 ChatGPT
改完第一次我會自己檢討,可以記起來的寫法會畫重點整理
接著再寫一次然後丟 ChatGPT,基本第二次常常改出來是 6.5~7
第二次改完我同樣也會再訂正一次
如果有需要會再多寫 1~2 次,重複訂正、熟悉
靠 ChatGPT 我的作文老師,是我二戰練寫作的方法
我把檢討和複習看很重,重複練習加深印象
考前盡可能的把寫過內容和畫的重點詞全部再看一次

🌜 一戰 🌛 較久遠,當時考完沒有詳細記錄(2024/08/17)
所以簡單分享我備考時有記下的寫作和還記得的部分口說
💡 Speaking
詳細都不太記得了 😅,但雅思哥裡在 5~8 月的預測有
Part 1
是學生還是工作 / 為什麼選擇這個職業 / 在哪工作 / 其他忘了,印象中考完只覺得都是偏閒聊
Part 2
形容一段搭大眾運輸的旅遊
Part 3
深入討論大眾運輸 / 討論到台灣大眾運輸費用 / 其他忘了
💡 Writing【Task 1】
我遇到雙 pie chart 題,但我沒有印象預測寫什麼 😅
💡 Writing【Task 2】
我的題目是跟國際化的廣告有關,要說明立場 - 優點是否多於缺點
8 月的預測中 11 跟廣告有關
🔎 8 月的預測主要有以下
(一樣 1~5 重點預測,6~15 次重點預測)
1. Some people say that art subjects such as painting or drawing should not be made compulsory for high school students. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
2. Some people think sports games are important for society, while others believe they should be taken as leisure activities. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
3. Some people say economic growth is the only way to end world poverty and hunger, while others say economic growth is damaging the environment and must stop. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
4. Some people think the increasing use of technology in the workplace is good for young people's prospects of gaining a job and harder for old people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
5. Today, advanced science and technology have made great changes to people’s life, but artists are still valued high such as musicians, painters and writers. What can the arts tell us about life that science and technology cannot?
6. Many young people do not spend their holidays and weekends doing outdoor activities like hiking and climbing in natural environments. Why? How can they be encouraged to go out?
7. The increase in food production owes much to fertilizers and better machinery. Some people think that it has a negative impact on human health and community. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
8. Education of young people is highly prioritized in many countries. However, educating adults who cannot write or read is even more important and governments should spend more money on this. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
9. Nowadays there are many television advertisements aimed at children. What effects do they have on children? Should TV advertising be controlled?
10. Online shopping is replacing shopping in stores. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
11. People are surrounded by many kinds of advertising which can influence their life. Do the positive effects of this trend outweigh negative effects?
12. Research into new types of medicines and treatments are essential for improving health and dealing with diseases. Who do you think should fund these researches: private companies, individuals or governments?
13. Some people think young people are not suitable for important positions in the government, while other people think it is a good idea for young people to take on these positions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

小整理
🔎🔎 備考資源
🌜 準備前期 🌛
💡 直接訂一個合理的考試時間然後刷卡付錢
💡 計時做一次聽力閱讀的模擬考看看自己的成績大約多少
🌜 對我最有效的方法 🌛

🌜 備考倦怠期 🌛
💡 看影集開英文字幕
🌜 備考中 🌛
💡 練題還是要練官方的題目

💡 推薦 HyRead 這個網站,也有 App,可以登入圖書館帳號借書,有不少雅思的書和英文雜誌可以免費借閱
💡「百詞斬」背單字 App(簡體字)時間夠的話可以使用(optional,因為透過單字書或 App 純背單字通常是短期記憶,只是我還是有在閱讀看過從 App 上學到的字所以覺得以考試為目的可行,但要有心理準備可能考完就忘了)

🔎🔎 各科備考想法
🖥️ 電腦考 💡 軟體會需要提前習慣
🌜 Listening 🌛
💡 一直練,錯題檢討建議不直接看逐字稿,試著多聽幾次找出答案
💡 聽 Podcast
🌜 Reading 🌛
💡 一直練
📝 紙筆考 💡 需要花時間前後翻來翻去
💡 錯題都一定要檢討,找根因
💡 技巧不外乎 skimming(略讀)、scanning(掃讀)
💡 用題目的關鍵字(或關鍵字的同義字)找文章定位
💡 如果卡題超過 2 分鐘,就要果斷跳過不要卡在那思考
💡 建立自己的高頻單字詞庫
🌜 Writing 🌛
💡 每天至少要寫一篇,或是一定要複習(重寫)一篇寫過的
💡 只看範文對我沒有太大幫助
💡 多寫多練習維持手感是我的唯一解
📝 紙筆考需要 💡 提前適應答案紙(每個人寫字大小不同,通常沒時間在考場確認字數)
💡 考試一開始就標好告訴自己要寫到正面或反面哪一行
🖥️ 電腦考可以用剪下複製貼上
💡 練習多了會自己產出每一段開頭最熟悉的句子,我沒有特別背模板
💡 花三到五分鐘規劃文章內容
💡 因為很容易不小心筆誤,檢查很重要(建議每寫完一句話要重新檢查一次,寫完一整段再檢查一次,寫完全篇再檢查一次)
我自己練久熟悉段落後,架構常常像是這樣:
💡 Task 1
1. Paraphrase 題目
2. Overall information(把圖表中不含數字的內容用文字說明,例如 line graph,要讓人看完這段能把 X、Y 軸、標題和大致走向能畫出來)
3. Details(不是每個數字都拿出來逐一闡述,要幫資料分類,寫出最醒目的數字)
💡 Task 2
1. Paraphrase 題目 + 簡述文章會提及的內容
2. 原因 1 或是正面闡述
內容 - Topic sentence / 原因 / 詳細說明 /(段落小結論,可省略)
3. 原因 2 或是反面闡述
內容 - Topic sentence / 原因 / 詳細說明 /(段落小結論,可省略)
4. 結論 - 重述自己前面的重點(可以想成是第 1 段換句話說 + 簡述 2、3 段重點)
🌜 Speaking 🌛
💡 習慣回答可以講更多內容的結構
💡 破題回答 ➡️ 原因 ➡️ 給例子或詳細闡述或反面論證 ➡️ 結論(結論其實我常常會忘記)
💡 我不會背答案(多數老師也都不推薦背答案)
💡 錄音下來自己聽(有老師建議錄音時要把題目複誦一起錄進去)
💡 考前先開著英文 Podcast 聽,讓腦子習慣
