This BAND 9 IELTS Reading Strategy Changes Everything



---

**00:00:00**  
Here's something that will make you  
這會讓你感到震驚的事情

**00:00:01**  
angry. Most IELTS students with  
大多數雅思考生

**00:00:03**  
excellent English fail to get the IELTS  
優秀的英語水平卻無法取得雅思

**00:00:05**  
reading score they need. Not because  
閱讀成績。他們不是因為

**00:00:07**  
they can't read, but because band n  
他們不會閱讀，而是因為分數在

**00:00:09**  
students are playing a completely  
不同的遊戲中。

**00:00:11**  
different game. They know things about  
他們知道一些關於

**00:00:12**  
the reading test structure and format  
閱讀測驗的結構與格式

**00:00:15**  
that turns the reading section from a  
讓閱讀部分從一場

**00:00:16**  
panicked race against time into a simple  
對時間的恐慌比賽，變成了一個簡單

**00:00:19**  
victory. So today, I'll show you exactly  
贏得勝利的過程。所以今天，我會告訴你

**00:00:22**  
what these students know. In this video,  
這些學生知道什麼。在這個影片中，

**00:00:24**  
I'm going to show you why general  
我將向你展示為什麼

**00:00:26**  
training and academic students should  
通用培訓和學術學生應該

**00:00:28**  
study exactly the same things.  
學習完全相同的內容。

**00:00:30**  
the progressive difficulty trap that catches  
那個讓90%的考生陷入的逐步難度陷阱。

**00:00:32**  
90% of test takers. The Usain Bolt  
那個取代所有時間管理技巧的

**00:00:34**  
principle that replaces all time  
優勝原則，還有

**00:00:36**  
management tricks and how band nine  
如何在40分鐘內完成，其他人卻在60分鐘內完不成的

**00:00:38**  
students finish in 40 minutes while  
方法。而且，首先讓我打破一個最大的迷思，

**00:00:40**  
others can't finish in 60. But first,  
很多人相信，通用訓練比學術更容易。

**00:00:42**  
let me shatter the biggest myth that's  
事實並非如此。這是真相。

**00:00:45**  
destroying your score. Many people  
通用訓練和學術使用相同的題型。

**00:00:47**  
believe that general training is easier  
多數人認為通用訓練較容易，

**00:00:49**  
than academic. Band nine students know  
因此忽略了練習測驗。Band 9學生則練習兩種題型，得到雙倍的練習與準備。

**00:00:51**  
this is not true. Here's the truth.  
知道這是不對的。事實是，

**00:00:53**  
General training and academic use the  
這兩種都用相同的題型：多選、對錯、未給資訊、匹配標題。

**00:00:55**  
exact same question types. Multiple  
相同的策略都可以用於兩者。

**00:00:58**  
choice, true, false, not given, matching  
很多人認為通用較容易，忽略了練習測驗。

**00:01:00**  
headings. Identical strategies work for  
Band 9學生都練習兩種測驗類型，得到雙倍的練習機會。

**00:01:03**  
both academic and general training. Many  
知道測驗格式只是開始。

**00:01:06**  
people believe that general training is  
有些關於測試結構的細節，Band 9學生會善用。

**00:01:08**  
easier, so they ignore those practice  
每份閱讀測驗有三篇文章。

**00:01:11**  
tests. Band N students practice both  
大多數學生認為文章順序是隨機的。

**00:01:14**  
test types. They're getting twice the  
但Band 9學生知道更好的方法。

**00:01:16**  
practice, twice the preparation. But  
第一篇是最簡單的，第二篇較中等。

**00:01:18**  
knowing the format is just the  
第三篇則設計得非常難，旨在難倒你。

**00:01:20**  
beginning. There's something about how  
為什麼雅思要這樣設計？其實很巧妙。

**00:01:21**  
the test is structured that band nine  
他們在區分7分、8分和9分。

**00:01:24**  
students use to their advantage. So,  
最後一題的設計是為了抓出不是8或9分的人。

**00:01:26**  
every reading test has three passages.  
但大多數學生的反應是：自信滿滿地跑完第一篇，然後在第二篇維持同樣的速度。

**00:01:29**  
Most students think that they're  
接著第三篇像磚牆一樣撞上來。

**00:01:30**  
randomly ordered. Band nine students  
慌亂開始，時間不夠用，錯很多。

**00:01:32**  
know better than this. So, section one  
反而，Band 9學生會快速完成第一篇。

**00:01:35**  
is the easiest and then section two is  
他們知道這是設計得很容易的，留出時間給最後一篇。

**00:01:37**  
medium difficulty. It gets a little bit  
以下是Band 9學生平均花在每一部分的時間。

**00:01:39**  
more difficult. And then section three  
你可以在練習時模擬這個策略。

**00:01:41**  
is designed to be super difficult. It's  
多數學生花在每段上的時間差不多，但策略性強的學生會更有效。

**00:01:44**  
designed to destroy you. So, why do the  
下一次練習時，嘗試控制時間，將更多時間留給較難的部分。

**00:01:47**  
people at IELTS do this? It's actually  
就算花更多時間在較難部分，也不代表你就一定會提升。

**00:01:49**  
quite brilliant. So, they're separating  
這是一個策略。

**00:01:51**  
the band sevens from the band eights and  
他們將7分和8分、9分分開。

**00:01:53**  
the band nines. Those final questions in  
最後一題的設計是專為難倒非8或9分的學生。

**00:01:56**  
section 3, they're designed specifically  
大多數人會在Section 3用錯時間，因為他們太過自信或緊張。

**00:01:59**  
to catch people who aren't quite at a  
但其實，反其道而行之反而更有效。

**00:02:01**  
band 8 or a band N level. But here's  
他們會在第一、二部分快刀斬亂麻，最後用剩餘時間攻克最後一題。

**00:02:03**  
what most students do. They get  
一些學生會在第一部分快速完成，第二部分也維持速度。

**00:02:05**  
confident after sailing through section  
第三部分才會遇到困難。

**00:02:08**  
one, and they maintain the same pace  
這時會慌亂，答錯很多。

**00:02:10**  
through section two. Then section three  
相反的策略是：快速完成第一部分，留出時間應付最後一段。

**00:02:13**  
hits like a brick wall. Panic starts to  
以下是Band 9學生時間分配的範例。

**00:02:16**  
set in. They start to run out of time,  
大多數學生每段花的時間差不多。

**00:02:18**  
and they get most of section 3 wrong. B  
但策略性強的學生會更有效率。

**00:02:21**  
students actually do the opposite. They  
下一次練習時，盡量控制時間。

**00:02:23**  
race through section one. They do it as  
掌握答題技巧，花最少時間。

**00:02:26**  
quickly as possible, knowing it's  
這樣才有時間應付最後一段。

**00:02:27**  
designed to be easy and they bank that  
接著看一下我的時間分配範例。

**00:02:30**  
extra time for the final battle in  
你會發現，高分學生會有效利用時間。

**00:02:33**  
section three. Here's a rough idea of  
他們每段的時間分配。

**00:02:35**  
how much time my band N students spend  
你也可以練習這個方法。

**00:02:38**  
on each section. So, you can see most  
最終，策略是：在較難的部分多花時間。

**00:02:40**  
students spend an equal amount of time  
但不要在自己不懂的題目上浪費太多時間。

**00:02:43**  
on each section, but band n students are  
這樣才能提高分數。

**00:02:45**  
far more strategic. Next time you're  
下一個重點：每個題型都需要不同的技巧。

**00:02:47**  
doing a practice test, try to time  
要會用不同的策略，因應不同的題型。

**00:02:49**  
yourself and spend more time on the  
例如：匹配標題需要大量略讀，找答案則用掃描。

**00:02:51**  
latter sections, which are much more  
而細讀則用來確定答案。

**00:02:53**  
difficult and require more time. But  
不要只用一套策略。

**00:02:56**  
even spending more time on the more  
Band 9學生已經練習到策略變成本能。

**00:02:58**  
difficult parts of the test won't help  
這樣你就不用擔心時間管理。

about it. So here's one last tip before  
你一定可以！

we go. Question that we often get is  
相信自己！

**00:07:57**  
improves scores, but because of a few

**00:08:00**  
different things. Number one, there's  
相信自己！  

**00:08:01**  
less transfer stress. You're not  
努力！  

**00:08:03**  
worrying about transferring things to

相信自己！  

**00:08:07**  
interface, which reduces mental fatigue.  
你可以！  

**00:08:10**  
And many have said that there's faster
