Listening — One‑Page Checklist (Bilingual)

Systematic, simple. Use in preview, during audio, and review.

系統化、好上手:預覽 作答 檢查 的快速指引

Quick facts / 重點概述

 

· Length: ~30 min audio; paper test has +10 min to transfer; computer test has ~2 min review.

· 4 parts × 10 = 40 questions; audio plays once; difficulty increases from Part 1 → 4.

· Mixed accents (UK, AU, NZ, US, etc.); topics move from everyday to academic.

· Scoring: 40 raw → Band 1–9 (roughly 39–40=9, 35–38=8, 30–34=7, 23–29=6).

 

· 時長:約 30 分鐘音檔;紙本另有 10 分鐘轉抄;電腦考約 2 分鐘檢視。

· 4 個部分 × 每部分 10 題,共 40 題;音檔只播放一次;難度由 Part 1 漸進到 Part 4

· 口音多元(英、澳、紐、美);主題由生活過渡到學術。

· 計分:40 題換算為 Band 1–9(約略 39–40=935–38=830–34=723–29=6)。

Preview (30–60 s before each part) / 開始前預覽(每部分前 30–60 秒)

 

· Skim all questions; mark keywords and word limits (“NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS”).

· Predict word type (name/number/noun/verb) and likely synonyms.

· Check plural/singular and spelling of names/streets.

· For maps/plans: find North, entrances, and landmarks in advance.

· For matching/speakers: note labels (A/B/C…) and each speaker’s role.

 

· 快速瀏覽題目;畫出關鍵字與字數限制(如「NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS」)。

· 預測答案詞性(姓名/數字/名詞/動詞)與可能同義字。

· 檢查單複數與專有名詞的拼字(人名、街名)。

· 地圖/平面題:先找北方、入口與地標位置。

· 配對/多位說話者:先記下標籤(A/B/C…)與角色。

During each Part — focus points / 作答時要點

 

· Part 1: Numbers, names, addresses; catch spelling and self‑corrections.

· Part 2: Structure and signposting (e.g., “first… next… however…”); maps/directions.

· Part 3: Opinions/attitudes; track who says what; paraphrase and hedging.

· Part 4: Lecture flow; headings → examples; concise note‑taking (keywords only).

 

· Part 1:數字、人名、地址;注意拼字與更正(自我修正)。

· Part 2:結構與語篇指引(如 first/next/however);地圖與路線。

· Part 3:意見與態度;追蹤「誰說了什麼」;同義改寫與保留語氣。

· Part 4:講座脈絡;由標題到例子;只記關鍵字的精簡筆記。

Question 6 types — mini‑tips / 題型速記與技巧

 

· Fill‑in (forms/notes/summary): obey word limits; ensure grammar fits the gap.

· Sentence completion: anticipate grammar and synonyms (not exact wording).

· MCQ: ignore keyword echo; choose meaning; eliminate confidently.

· Matching (speakers → views): mark speaker changes quickly; listen for stance.

· Map/plan: left/right/opposite/along; confirm via landmarks; don’t lock too early.

· Short answers: watch singular/plural; units and numbers must be exact.

 

· 填空(表格/筆記/摘要):嚴守字數;讓文法與句型吻合空格。

· 句子完成:預測文法與同義改寫(不要等原字)。

· 選擇題:忽略關鍵字回聲;看意思選項;果斷刪錯。

· 配對(說話者觀點):迅速標記說話者變換;聽立場語(I think…)。

· 地圖/平面:left/right/opposite/along 等方位字;用地標交叉確認;別太早定點。

· 簡答題:注意單複數;單位與數字必須精確。

Common traps — avoid these / 常見陷阱避免法

 

· Self‑correction in audio (“£15—sorry, £50”): take the final value.

· Distractors repeat question words; correct answers use paraphrase.

· Order shifts inside options/routes; don’t rely on position alone.

· Spelling, hyphens, capitals for proper nouns; obey word limits strictly.

 

· 錄音自我更正(如「£15—更正 £50」):以最後數值為準。

· 干擾選項常重複題目用字;正確答案多用同義改寫。

· 選項/路線內部可能調換順序;不要只靠位置判斷。

· 拼字、連字號、專有名詞大寫要正確;嚴格遵守字數限制。

Transfer / typing / 轉抄與輸入檢查

 

· Paper: transfer in ALL CAPS; check Q1–Q40; leave no blanks.

· Computer: use the review screen; verify spellings one by one.

 

· 紙本:轉抄用全大寫;逐一檢查 Q1–Q40;避免空白。

· 電腦:使用回顧清單;逐一確認拼字與輸入。

Time management & mindset / 時間分配與心態

 

· If you miss one, skip instantly and re‑anchor on the next question.

· Use question order (it follows the audio).

· Breathe between parts; reset focus during the 30‑second preview.

 

· 漏聽立即跳過,立刻在下一題重新對位。

· 善用題目順序(與音檔順序一致)。

· 各部分間先深呼吸;在 30 秒預覽時重置專注。

Rough scoring guide / 分數換算(概略)

 

· Rough guide: 39–40 → Band 9; 35–38 → Band 8; 30–34 → Band 7; 23–29 → Band 6 (forms vary slightly).

 

· 粗略換算:39–40 → 9 分;35–38 → 8 分;30–34 → 7 分;23–29 → 6 分(不同考卷略有差異)。

Personal reminders / 個人提醒(可自填)

 

· Practice with mixed accents • Sleep well • Daily 10–15 min drills • Pencil & eraser (paper test).

 

· 混合口音練習 睡眠充足 每日 10–15 分鐘短練 紙本準備鉛筆與橡皮擦。
