小站前言：对于一些有出国留学打算的考生来说，雅思考试是必须迈过的一道坎。但是对于新手烤鸭来说，有很多对于雅思考试的疑点所在。包括雅思口语应该如何回答，雅思写作该怎么展开等。今天，就请雅思前考官来为大家一一讲解。
口语篇：
Can we use "you" to talk about people in general?
是否可以用you来代替people?
In the speaking test, it's fine to say something like "when you go on holiday, you have the chance to relax". But in a written essay, I would prefer to change this e.g. "when people go on holiday...".
在口语考试中，when you go on holiday, you have the chance to relax这样的说法没有问题。但在写作考试里，我更倾向改成when people go on holiday。
In the speaking test, what should I do if I understand the question but I have no idea what to say in my answer?
在口语考试中，如果我听懂了问题但不知道说什么的话该怎么办?
You could use this formula: "Well, I don't really know much about... because..., but I suppose..." In other words, you admit that you don't really know what to say, you explain why, then you invent an answer anyway.你可以使用这个句型：Well, I don't really know much about... because..., but I suppose...。
换句话说，你承认自己不知道说些什么，并解释原因，然后你再虚构一个答案。
Is it ok if my pronunciation is a mix of British and American English?
如果发音混合了英国口音和美国口音，会有问题吗?
Yes, that's fine. Just focus on speaking clearly.
没问题。重点在于表述清楚。
Can we use quotations in writing task 2 and the speaking test?
在长作文和口语考试中，是否可以引用名人名言?
Personally I don't recommend including quotations because it's difficult to use them in a natural and relevant way. It usually seems like the student has 'forced' the quotation into his/her work, and this won't impress the examiner.
我个人不推荐使用名人名言。因为你很难找到和题目相关又不生硬的名言。经常能看到考生在文章中强行引用名言，这并不能给考官带来好印象。
小作文篇：
Can I suggest reasons for changes shown on graphs or charts?
1. 我可以给出图表中数据变化的原因吗?
No, you shouldn't try to explain reasons for the data in writing task 1. Just describe what you can see.
不可以。在短作文中，你不应该试图解释数据背后的原因。只要描述你看到的即可。
Can we use symbols like $, £ and % in writing task 1?
在短作文中，是否可以使用$、£、%等符号?
Yes, I usually prefer to use these symbols instead of full words like "per cent". For native speakers, it's very normal and natural to do this.
可以。通常来说，我更喜欢使用这些符号，而非类似per cent这样的文字。对于英语为母语的人来说，这种做法非常普遍和自然。
When describing a map (writing task 1), can we use north, south, east, west even if no compass is shown?
短作文中，描述地图时，如果没有出现指南针，是否可以使用东南西北?
Yes, I often do. I think it's fine to assume that the top of a map is north.
可以，我经常这样做。我认为上北下南的假设十分合理。
Do I need to include all of the data in my task 1 essay?
短作文中，我需要把所有数据都写进去吗?
No, the question will always ask you to select key points. There is usually too much data for a 150-word essay. Also, your ability to select key data will impress the examiner.
不需要。作文题目总是要你选择关键点。通常情况下，所有数据对于一篇150字的文章来说显得太多了。此外，你选择关键数据的能力也会给考官留下印象。
大作文篇：
Is it a ok to start task 2 essays with a question?
2. 在长作文中，是否可以用问题开头?
No, that would be more journalistic than academic style.
不可以。这样看起来更像是新闻，而非学术写作。
In writing task 2, is it better to write four paragraphs or five?
在长作文部分，写4段好还是写5段好?
