How to Intensive Read IELTS Reading
Carefully choose intensive reading articles, and your score can be above 7.5 only by 10 Cambridge articles. (The premise is that you are not a mere formality, but a heartthrob. ) Idle and painful schoolmasters can read 30 articles intensively, and 8.5 or above is appropriate.
I have always thought that the biggest purpose of intensive reading lies in four points:
New words+core words of this topic; Each problem involves synonymous substitution in solving problems; Non-repetitive training of long and difficult sentences; Accumulated training and enlightenment experience of paragraph central sentence position+article structure
1. New words+topic core words
Students realize that intensive reading is the best way to clear up the dead angle of reading words, especially after reading several articles on biology, before answering that they know everything about biology.
For example, the words forage/reconnaissance/orientation/smell in C7 ant intelligence are very easy to do articles such as swarm on OG after intensive reading of a few biological articles. The whole article can be read quickly, with accurate positioning and high accuracy.
Another example is transit of venus. If you read C9 intensively, you will get the basic vocabulary of astronomy. As long as you pass the astronomy exam, you will know more than 75% of the basic vocabulary, and you will be much more handy in answering questions.
2. Each question involves synonymous substitution for solving problems.
I just wrote an article about: IELTS reading is accurate every time, but the accurate positioning is always a bit biased. How to break it? ! ?
Roughly locate a positioning word, the full text may be more than 30 places, as the saying goes: two points set a line, you should draw at least two keywords/positioning words and find them all. I generally advise students? Grab three, grab four, grab five? Topic with sentences, word for word, fine positioning is to find at least two or three changing words.
In the final analysis, accumulating synonyms in IELTS reading is more important than accumulating vocabulary.
So what should I do when the number of words reaches the bottleneck? Synonymous replacement vocabulary?
3. Non-repetitive training of long and difficult sentences
I forgot which teacher told me: more than three lines will cause problems.
N students' feedback is: after reading the second half of a long and difficult sentence, forget what was spent in front. I know all the words, but I read this article too slowly.
When I took the GMAT exam, I read a book called GMAT Long and Difficult Sentences Practice, which mentioned it? I'll never read it back, okay? This method has been shared with students, and the feedback is great. It says:
As long as you practice five long sentences every day, don't read them back, see long sentences, and habitually cut the subject and predicate the object, you can see the effect in a week. Originally, I thought it was the subject, predicate and object, but after practicing for more than ten days, the speed of examining the questions increased by leaps and bounds.
Long sentences are no longer a problem. When you see them, you can automatically read the subject, predicate and object, so that you can easily remember the meaning. When you read the following sentences, logic forms a very comfortable connection. If there is something wrong with the sentence, it is not too late to read it intensively.
4. The position of the central sentence of the paragraph+the accumulated training and enlightenment experience of the article structure.
How to match LOH (title list) with paragraph information mainly depends on intensive reading.
LOH has done too much, so it naturally feels good. The central sentence of the last sentence? Turning central sentence? I won't go into details. Do more and you'll know.
Paragraph information matching topic, commonly known as childless topic, is messy and disgusting, with a wide range of synonymous substitutions, and sometimes it is necessary to read through the whole text. I always believe? Prediction is a through train to solve the childless problem? . As long as you read it carefully, you will find that all parts of the original article imply you, so what should I do next time without reading the original text? Monty? Read it more carefully and you will understand.
BTW, before intensive reading, you must hurry to do the problem. Cambridge articles are limited and precious, so you can't read them directly. Don't waste time!
Skills of IELTS reading T/F/NG questions
First of all, I don't have many skills in the heading list. Key points: Whether the sentence or phrase given in the title is good or not, you must mark the head word (that is, the words that the author is difficult to rewrite, what place names, names, etc.). ) and return to the original text for positioning. The second point: I believe everyone understands the principle of the first and last sentences.
Secondly, in the collocation problem, I find it difficult to sum up any skills, so I can only draw the central word of the problem and return to the original text quickly. If anyone has higher skills, please advise, thank you.
Third, I am not qualified to say anything about multiple choices. This is what I'm afraid of. I always feel that I'm not sure about it. Sometimes I can correct my mistakes by choosing the right one (I am stupid).
Fourth, to sum up, I still have some small experiences that are not skills. Point: Be sure to combine the empty words (those central words) before and after the topic to locate the original text quickly. The second point: we must pay attention to sentence patterns, clauses and so on. For example: And then what? . ,? . But? Wait? There will be some hints of the original text when you return to the original text. The third point: just pay attention to what will happen if the topic is given as never before? And then what? , before and after are corresponding.
V. True/false/non-given questions are my strong points. Personally, I think skill is very important.
The first point is the principle of conjunctions. When the topic returns to the original text, there are conjunctions in the original text that indicate a turning point. But, anyway, though, never, never Heless, etc. It should be noted that it is generally negative (but it should be noted that when the given topic is a long declarative sentence, more judgments are needed to draw a conclusion).
The second point: the principle of right, such as using pronouns to express the right meaning for a given topic, such as? Nobody, everyone, everyone, nobody, must, of course? Wait? It is usually more likely to be false/notgiven. However, if there are two or more questions with words that indicate the correct meaning, please note that there may be a yes question.
The third point: fuzzy principle, when there are modal verbs or representations in a given topic? General, maybe, like? ..？ When using the word "yes", it usually means yes or no.
The fourth point: the principle of comparison. If there is a comparison in a given topic and it is found in the original text, it is there. No, I just didn't give it.
The fifth point: the principle of long sentences, if the topic is long declarative sentences, especially when there is a clause structure, the probability of yes/no is generally greater. When you find that the topic is a long declarative sentence in the original text, you find it difficult to judge it in one or two sentences, and you need to read a long paragraph, and there are a lot of symbols in the text, such as semicolons, brackets, quotation marks and so on. You don't have to consider direct yes.
Preparation skills of IELTS reading questions
Cast a wide net and form a perceptual knowledge
First of all, candidates who are new to an exam should have a perceptual knowledge of this exam, that is, know what they have tested before such an exam, so that we can quickly enter the state of preparing for the IELTS exam. So, the convenient way to understand the previous questions is to look at the previous ones? Roast duck? Classics of machines summarized by students. By browsing computer classics, candidates can understand many questions in the reading test in a short time. Of course, the formation of perceptual knowledge only needs to browse the machine classics, and it is not necessary to carefully look at the specific problems and other details of each article.
Good classification shows the light of guidance.
Of course, candidates will form some unsystematic impressions in their minds after forming perceptual knowledge of the examination questions. For example, the topic of visiting the Tokyo Tower seems to appear more than once, and the education of women and children seems to be often tested. Then, such fragmentary fragments of consciousness are not enough to guide us in the real exam. A very important step for candidates is to be good at classification. Almost all students who do well in the exam have one advantage, that is, they are good at classification. Induction can be carried out from the following aspects:
First, distinguish the categories of problems. The categories referred to here are not simple humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, but are divided into the following small branches such as biology and architecture.
Second, summarize the frequency of questions. List the exam topics that appear in the subcategory. Such a list will help candidates quickly find those frequently-occurring topics.
Third, choose a new topic. In the process of induction, candidates may find that some topics do not belong to any of the branches listed above. Such a topic is a new one. Of course, there will be things that have not been tested under some branches, which is also a new topic. Judging new topics requires more candidates, and requires candidates to have a familiar grasp of the exam topics in previous years in order to proceed smoothly.
Clear objectives and expand relevant knowledge.
After the entry work is completed, in fact, candidates have a good preparation direction. Just like rushing to the ocean of topics and seeing a firm and towering lighthouse, the subsequent preparation behavior will not be blind. After finishing the induction work, candidates can prepare the questions according to their actual preparation time, in order from important to secondary. The first thing to pay attention to is the high-frequency topic summarized before. Although these high-frequency topics talk about the same theme, they often pay attention to different angles. Candidates need to be careful about all aspects involved in this topic, and then find relevant background materials to expand the background knowledge of the topic. In addition, these emerging issues also need to be given priority attention. Except for high-frequency and new topics, candidates for other topics can take the lead in paying attention to unfamiliar topics according to their preparation time. In this way, the IELTS test will not lose points because of insufficient preparation of the questions.
