Preparation class: classroom lectures and class discussions

备考课堂：老师讲解和课上讨论

Another difference between the TOEFL IBT and IELTS is the Listening section. The IELTS Listening section has four recorded monologues or conversations. The TOEFL IBT has classroom lectures by teachers and class discussions by students.

新托福和雅思的另一个区别是听力部分。雅思听力部分有四个独白或对话的录音。新托福有教师课堂上的讲解和学生们的讨论。

Ms. Kurniasari finds the TOEFL IBT classroom lectures and discussions harder to follow.

Kurniasari女士发现新托福的课堂讲座和讨论很难跟得上。

"Sometimes they use idioms too, to share their ideas or thoughts and we really have to know the meaning of the idioms. I think the TOEFL IBT is much more difficult than IELTS, especially the class discussion and when the lecturer explains the lesson in a class."

“有时他们也用一些习语，分享他们的看法或思想，我们必须要知道习语的意思。我认为新托福比雅思难多了，尤其是课堂讨论和老师讲解的时候。”

Her advice is to focus and take notes as much as possible.

她建议要集中注意力，并且要多做笔记。

"We have to really concentrate, focus, of course we can take notes, but somehow it's just too fast, and somehow you cannot really memorize the things that they've said."

“我们必须要集中精力，当然我们也可以记笔记，但是他们说得太快了，你无法真正记住他们都说了什么。”

Prepare well in advance of the test

提前为考试做好准备

Triwik Kurniasari's strategy for success is to study, study and study.

Triwik Kurniasari的成功策略是学习，学习，再学习。

"If you want to take any kind of test, make sure that you have enough time to prepare for it. I usually try to prepare myself at least two months prior to the test just to allow myself to get used to the test and to study for the test."

“如果你想参加任何考试，要确保有充足的备考时间。我通常至少会在考试前两个月做好准备，以让自己适应考试。”

Use books rather than free online test materials

利用好书本，而不是看网上免费的材料

She also recommends using books rather than free online test materials. After getting a low score the first time she took the TOEFL IBT, she spent the money on study books for the tests.

她还建议要利用书本，而不要使用网上免费的材料。她第一次的新托福考试得了一个低分，之后就把钱花在了备考书上。

"I decided to study harder and buy some books, even though they're expensive but since I wanted to get good scores... For me, books are much more effective than studying for instance, from samples on the Internet, because with the books I can go back and forth and take some notes."

“我决定再加把劲，买一些书，尽管书很贵，但我想获得好成绩啊……。对我来说，看书比在网上学更有效，因为有了书，我就可以来回翻看，并做一些笔记。”

Listen to native speakers from more than one country

听来自多个英语国家的人的演讲

To practice for the Listening sections of the tests, she says students should listen to native speakers from more than one country.

她说，为了练好听力，学生应该听来自多个英语国家的人的演讲。

"For listening try to listen to native speakers speaking on the radio, TV, on VOA, of course. I think the hardest part about IELTS is the accent because they use mostly British accent. I need to get used to the British accent. Sometimes they use Australian accent. And I'm not really familiar with the Australian accent."

“当然，要在广播、电视和VOA上听以英语为母语的人的讲话。我认为雅思考试最难的地方是口音，因为他们大多是英国口音。我要习惯英国口音。有时他们用澳大利亚口音。而我对澳大利亚口音不是很熟悉。”

The last word of advice

最后一条建议

Finally, our student's last word of advice is one that your mother would probably give you – be rested and well fed.

我们的学生的最后一条建议是，你的母亲可能会给你——好好休息、好好吃饭。

"During the test you need to focus and concentrate. Before the test, make sure you get a good sleep. Make sure that you have breakfast!"

“考试期间，要集中精力。考试的前一天，一定要睡个好觉。一定要吃早餐哦！”
