大家好，最近天气回暖，南法也开始变得越发热闹，希望万物复苏的季节大家的心情也可以得到适当地放松。今天和大家分享狄更斯在《双城记》里的一段话，他说：“那是最美好的时代，也是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，也是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，也是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那也是失望的冬天。“

可能这个世界就是由黑暗和光明组成的，我们应该，向往光明，但也不畏惧黑暗。

用顾城的一首诗来结尾吧：“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它来寻找光明。”

14 Listening tips for your IELTS exam

    Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers.
    Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect.
    Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them.
    Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time.
    Take care when you transfer your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers on your answer sheet!
    Multiple-choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer.
    When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers.
    Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word.

    Focus on what the speaker is saying not how they say it.
    Don’t take notes in complete sentences – jot down the key points and abbreviate. You only need to write down enough to help your memory later.
    Get the habit of distinguishing between essential and non-essential information. If two people are talking about making plans for a dinner date, the important information is the date/time they finally agree upon. Other dates/times they considered become irrelevant.
    Try to guess what the speaker is going to say. Speakers, will often drop clue words or outline what they will to talk about beforehand. This gives you the ability to start your own outline to then fill in.
    Listen to the audio while reading the audio script. This will help you get a sense of how questions are spaced out, as well as learning some useful common expressions that are frequently used in listening tests.
