Phân bố thời gian IELTS LISTENING

February 4, 2020

Đối với phần listening, Phân bổ Thời Gian Không Hợp Lí khiến bạn mất thông tin của những câu tiếp theo, dẫn đến MISS luôn một dây chuyền đápn đápn đáp Khó khăn mà thí sinh đưa ra là: "Ở phần IELTS Listening, mình thấy rất khó để đọc hiểu tận mấy câu hỏi chỉ trong 1 phút". Bên cạnh HướNG Dẫn Phương Pháp HọC IELTS Speaking SITIU HIệU Qả , IELTS TUTOR Sẽ Hướng dẫn cách quản lý thời gian một cách hợp lý trong Listening, qua đó giúp bạn đạt được số điểm mình mong muốn.

I. Những lưu ý trong việc phân bổ thời gian IELTS LISTENING

1. Những lưu ý chung

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Sẽ có khoảng một phút để đọc tất cả các câu hỏi trong mỗi section trước khi nghe audio, tốt hơn hết là em nên dành thời gian này, cũng như thời gian thử băng đọc sơ qua Section 3-4. >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách làm 6 dạng thường gặp IELTS LISTENING

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý đọc thật kĩ câu hỏi của từng Section, luôn ưu tiên cho câu hỏi Section 3-4

1.1 Section 1

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Ở Section 1, các bạn sẽ có khá nhiều thời gian để đọc câu hỏi, vì ngoài thời gian đọc ra, còn có cả thời gian người ta làm đáp án câu mẫu cho các bạn nên các bạn sẽ ngay lập tức đọc đáp án 5 câu đầu của Section 1, đọc lướt sơ qua 5 câu sau của Section 1 (chỉ đọc lướt không đọc kĩ vì sau khi nghe 5 câu đầu thì các bạn lại có khoảng thời gian nữa để đọc 5 câu cuối), sau đó các bạn ngay lập tức đọc câu hỏi cho Section 4, đọc càng kĩ càng tốt, đọc và highlight keywords. Lí do là vì Section 4 các bạn sẽ nghe 1 lèo 10 câu nên khoảng thời gian đọc câu hỏi là khá ngắn, nên các bạn đọc kĩ được Section 4 chừng nào sẽ tốt chừng ấy, nếu đọc xong Section 4 rồi thì các bạn đọc qua Section 3. >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý CHIẾN THUẬT IELTS LISTENING

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý là nếu ở giữa mỗi Section có thời gian đọc câu hỏi, thì bắt buộc các bạn phải đọc lại kĩ câu hỏi trong Section đang nghe, đừng ham đọc câu hỏi của những Section khác, sẽ rất dễ bị miss đáp án của Section đang nghe nhé

1.2 Section 2

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Ở Section 2, nếu có dạng Map các bạn phải tập trung đọc cho kĩ, vừa đọc vừa xác định phương hướng, dạng Map là một dạng khó nếu các bạn làm sai nhiều dạng này thì rất dễ bị điểm thấp những phần còn lại do mất bình tĩnh 

1.3 Section 3 và section 4

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Section 3 và 4 có rất nhiều câu hỏi điền từ, các bạn ngoài phải đọc nhanh, còn phải phán đoán cho được cái từ mình cần điền sẽ là từ gì 
  • Khi làm IELTS LISTENING, các bạn sẽ có 10 phút chuyển đáp án, nên khi làm IELTS LISTENING các bạn cứ làm thẳng ở trên đề, 10 phút chuyển Đáp Án là dư sức để các bạn chuyển đáp án từ đề vào tờ Answer Sheet, cho nên đừng mất thời gian vào việc nghe câu nào chuyển vào đáp án như IELTS READING nhé!

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý để làm bài đúng trong IELTS LISTENING, ngoài đọc nhanh câu hỏi, các bạn bắt buộc phải HIỂU câu hỏi người ta nói gì

2. Những lưu ý khác

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Để HIỂU câu hỏi người ta nói gì, các bạn phải xác định cho được KEYWORDS, để khi speakers nhắc đến đáp án của câu hỏi đấy trong băng ngay lập tức các bạn sẽ khoanh vùng được đấy là đáp án của câu hỏi. >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý PHƯƠNG PHÁP LUYỆN KĨ NĂNG NGHE HIỂU

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Phải biết cách bỏ qua những câu hỏi khó, không mất bình tĩnh vì nó

  • Hãy nhớ rằng độ khó của câu hỏi khác nhau trong các bài kiểm tra IELTS (trong cả hai phần Listening và Reading). Chẳng hạn, trong phần Listening, có khoảng 5 câu hỏi rất khó mà chỉ những ứng cử viên hướng tới band 8, 8.5 hoặc 9 có thể trả lời.

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý trong lúc băng đang chạy, hãy tập trung nghe băng, đừng đọc những Options trong dạng Multiple Choice nữa

  • Một sai lầm lớn mà nhiều em mắc phải khi gặp loại câu hỏi là này là, trong khi ghi âm diễn ra, họ vẫn đọc lại các options. Điều này rất dễ làm sai dây chuyền, mất dấu keywords không biết speaker đang nói đến đâu
  • IELTS TUTOR lưu ý trong lúc băng đang chạy, phải nắm bắt cho được Speakers đang nói đến chỗ nào trong bộ câu hỏi, chỉ liếc sơ những keywords bạn đã gạch ở câu hỏi để nghe cho ra đáp án
  • Luôn nắm vững quy luật của IELTS LISTENING, là speaker trong băng sẽ luôn follow thứ tự bộ câu hỏi mà các bạn đang đọc, nên giả sử có miss câu nào thì bỏ qua luôn, và tập trung vào câu hỏi tiếp theo

  • Dành một phút để nhìn qua mỗi section. Tức là tận dụng 30s giữa mỗi Section để đọc ngay vào câu hỏi của Section mới!
    • Đó là khoảng thời gian trống gồm 30 giây cuối mỗi section (được cho để kiểm tra lại đáp án) và 30 giây cho section tiếp theo (để nhìn lướt qua nội dung cần nghe). 
    • Khoảng thời gian 30 giây mà được cho cuối mỗi section để check đáp án của section đó thực tế thì sẽ rất ít khả năng có thể điền thêm, chỉnh sửa được đáp án đúng vì chỉ được nghe một lần thôi. 
    • Thay vì dùng nó theo mục đích ‘nguyên thủy’ được đề ra, hãy sử dụng nó một cách hữu ích hơn là tăng thời gian đọc trước đề để hiểu và dự đoán (1 phút hơn hẳn 30 giây). >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý REVIEW SÁCH IELTS LISTENING LUYỆN ĐỀ NÊN LÀM NHẤT

II. Gợi ý cách phân bổ thời gian IELTS LISTENING có thể áp dụng

1. Lưu ý trước khi đọc những phân bố sau

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  • Cái này chỉ là gợi ý của IELTS TUTOR về cách phân bố thời gian mà em có thể áp dụng, tuỳ thuộc vào thói quen, cũng như phương pháp luyện tập ở nhà của em như thế nào thì cách phân bố này mới có hiệu quả hay là không. Quan trọng nhất là em luyện tập ở nhà cho kĩ, và rút ra được cách phân bố thời gian như nào là tốt nhất cho mình nhé 

2. Gợi ý cách phân bố thời gian IELTS LISTENING có thể tham khảo

IELTS TUTOR lưu ý:

  1. 25s đầu giới thiệu -> lướt qua toàn bộ đề và XEM SƠ QUA PART 4
  2. 30s tiếp thêo cho part 1 -> đọc part 1 (ĐỌC PHẦN ĐẦU CỦA PART 1 THÔI vì part 1 super dễ, lúc qua phần 2 thì có thời gian đọc rồi)
  3. 25s tiếp theo của part 1-> đọc câu 7-10 của part 1
  4. 30s tiếp theo khi hết part 1-> CHECK LẠI PART 1 CÁC ĐÁP ÁN OK CHƯA, SAU ĐÓ đọc lướt PHẦN ĐẦU CỦA PART 2, chứ không đọc hết PART 2
  5. 30s tiếp theo phần 1, part 2-> đọc phần 1 part 2
  6. 30s tiếp trc khi phần 2, part 2-> đọc kỹ phần 2 part 2. >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách nghe số liệu trong IELTS LISTENING
  7. 30s tiếp theo khi end part 2-> CHECK LẠI PART 2 CÁC ĐÁP ÁN OK CHƯA, SAU ĐÓ đọc lướt PHẦN ĐẦU CỦA PART 3, chứ không đọc hết PART 3
