今天上午，雅思突然又放出了一批考位，這也是從宣佈4月雅思考試取消之後，
新增的第二批考位。近期有考試需求的考生可以抓緊機會報名。
由於考試需求比較大，目前6月份第一場的新增考位也基本被搶完了，部分地區可能還有名額，大家根據自己的考試地區確認是否還有名額。
新增考位剛開放
發稿時，新增考位已滿
大部分地區6月13、18、20日的考試還有新增考位，大家可以根據自己的設計需求選擇報考。
目前UKVI的考位仍然沒有開放，可以繼續關注官方消息。

很多烤鴨對雅思聽力的印象都是“中國考生的拉分項”，但是：
- 劍雅真題做了一堆，正確率卻沒有提升；
- 學來的解題技巧不會用：聽著覺得會，一到考試就忘光；
- 詞彙聽抄練習枯燥、無聊、低效，堅持不下去沒提高，而不練又聽不懂。
只有技巧，不瞭解真實考試內容和考點；只做題，不瞭解雅思聽力的出題思路，找不準做題技巧，都很難拿到滿意的分數，起到幫其他科目拉分的效果。
事實上，雅思聽力高分是可以通過科學練習實現的。
雅思官方提供的聽力和閱讀備考建議，既然備考週期這麼長，更可以從提高英語能力方面去備考雅思，真正提升自己的英語水平。
Listening Tips
1. Set a realistic goal for yourself and do not aim for shortcuts. Don’t expect to progress from low-level to high-level overnight!
Like all skills, becoming proficient in a language takes a lot of time and effort. However, there are many useful strategies you can take:
根據自身情況設立符合實際的目標，切忌盲目尋求捷徑。不要幻想在一夜之間取得突飛猛進的進步！
學習英語和學習其它技能一樣，需要付出大量的時間和精力才能熟練掌握。不過，有些學習策略可以助你一臂之力：
2. Create a listening routine and stick to it:
制定日常聽力練習計劃並堅持下去：
a) Listen to something different every day. For example, on Monday – listen to a podcast, on Tuesday – listen to 15 minutes of a news program, on Wednesday – listen to asong, and so on.
每天選擇不同的練習材料。例如，週一聽英文播客，週二聽15分鐘的新聞，週三則可以聽英文歌曲，以此類推。
b) Listen to something which interests you!
選擇自己感興趣的練習材料！
c) Choose different sources, like elllo.org. A variety of accents and dialects will help you understand better spoken English from around the world.
通過多種不同的渠道（如elllo.org）獲取聽力資源。瞭解各種各樣的口音和方言有助於你更好地理解世界各地的英語口語。
d) Choose listening materials which fit your level. If you can understand <50% and >90% of the audio, then it is not for you as it is either too easy or too difficult.
TED talks (www.ted.com/talks) are a great way to practice academic listening.
選擇適合自己英語水平的聽力材料。如果你對自己選擇的聽力材料能聽懂不到50%或者超過90%，那就說明此材料過於簡單或者難度過大，不適合用作聽力練習材料。
TED演講(www.ted.com/talks) 非常適合用來練習學術英語聽力。
e) Do it when you are most productive during the day – are you a morning or an evening person?
選擇一天中效率最高的時候練習聽力——你是“早起鳥”還是“夜貓子”呢？
f) Plan your listening activities and cross them off once you’ve completed them.
按計劃進行聽力練習，每完成一項便劃去一項。
g) Listen to something a few times; change the speed.
一段材料反覆多聽幾次，也可做變速練習。
3. Focus on the overall message and do not get frustrated about detail.
重點抓住材料大意，不要過於糾結細節信息。
4. Take notes while you’re listening and go back to discover what expressions or clues in the audio helped you understand the message.
聽的過程中注意做筆記，聽完後回顧材料中有助於理解信息的表達方式或相關線索。
5. Don’t worry too much about unfamiliar words; if you hear something which is repeated in different sources, look it up in the dictionary and study it.
無需過於擔心生疏詞彙。如果在不同材料中多次聽到某個單詞，可以查閱詞典學習。
6. Call a friend and discuss issues in English for a set time period (for example, 10 minutes).
給朋友打電話，在規定時間內（比如10分鐘）用英語討論問題。
7. Try to guess questions you haven’t answered. This is especially important for “yes”, “no” or “don’t know” questions as the chance of you getting the right answer by chance is pretty high!
針對尚未答出的問題試著猜測答案，尤其是“是”、“否”或“未提及”類的問題，因為這類問題猜對答案的概率非常高！
8. Before each section you are given time to read the questions. Use this time sensibly and read the questions carefully but not too slowly or the recording will start before you have finished reading.
每一部分聽力開始之前，考生都會有一定的時間來閱讀問題。合理利用這段時間，仔細閱讀問題，但要注意速度不能太慢，以免錄音開始前來不及看完所有問題。
9. Be sure to answer with the correct number of words. If the question asks for two or three words, don’t use four or five.
注意按照字數要求回答問題。如果題幹要求用兩三個單詞回答，那就不要用四五個單詞。
10. Write clearly. If the examiner cannot ready our writing, then you will get no marks. If you think your writing is bad, use capital letters.
書寫整潔、卷面清晰。如果字跡潦草，考官無法辨認，那麼你將無法得分。如果你對自己的書寫沒有信心，可選擇用大寫字母來拼寫單詞。
11. During the transferring time first make sure you have transferred all the questions you have answered legibly (easy to read) and in the correct space.
Then go back, review and try to answer the ones you haven’t. Make an educated guess, as your aim should be to have an answer sheet with no blank spaces.
謄寫答案時，首先要確保將所有答案全部清晰地謄寫到答題卡上的相應位置，然後再回去檢查並回答之前未完成的題目，合理推測答案，保證答題卡上沒有問題空著不答。
Readning Tips
1. Choose a variety of texts and combine reading for studying with reading for pleasure.
涉獵各類英文文章，在閱讀過程中寓學於樂。
2. Spend 20-30 minutes every day reading different texts: newspaper articles, blogs, books, textbook activities.
每天花20-30分鐘閱讀不同類型的文章，如報紙刊文、博客、書籍、教材練習等。
3. Improve your vocabulary by looking up common words (words you hear a lot) in the dictionary.
通過英文詞典查閱常見詞彙（經常聽到的單詞），擴大詞彙量。
4. Try different techniques while reading: skim and scan the text quickly, answer questions in detail, summarise the main idea(s).
嘗試不同的閱讀技巧：快速略讀、瀏覽文章，詳細回答問題，總結文章主旨大意。
5. Choose topics of interest but also try to read texts on various topics as IELTS chooses subjects from many fields.
可以選擇自己感興趣的閱讀材料，同時也要 廣泛閱讀不同主題的文章，因為雅思考試的選題範圍非常廣。
6. Discuss some interesting texts with your friends and exchange ideas in English.
就一些趣味十足的文章內容和朋友進行討論，並用英語交流各自的觀點。
7. Read for speed. Set a timer and try to read a text within the time limit (e.g., 5 mins). Check your understanding. Reduce the time limit as you improve and get faster (e.g.,from 5 mins to 4 mins to 3 mins).
注意提高閱讀速度。用計時器定時，儘量在規定時間內(如5分鐘)讀完一篇文章，並檢查自己的理解是否正確。
隨著閱讀能力不斷提升，逐漸縮短閱讀時限，以提高自己的閱讀速度（例如從5分鐘逐漸縮短為4分鐘、3分鐘）。
8. Read aloud with your friends or even by yourself. You could record yourself if you wish. Listen to how you sound. This will help with your fluency and pronunciation. It will also build your self-confidence.
獨自或者和朋友一起大聲朗讀文章，可以邊朗讀邊錄音，然後通過聽錄音檢查並提升自己的流利度和發音，這樣也有助於你增強自信心。
9. Familiarise yourself with the style of the exam and how long each part takes. You need to develop skills to answer each type of question in the reading examination. Questions could take the form of any of the following:
熟悉考試風格以及各部分所需要花費的時間。你需要培養相關答題技巧，以便熟練回答閱讀部分的各類題型。
