IELTS listening "connection" ability is very important, there are unique skills to cultivate

    IELTS listening "connection" ability is very important to cultivate a unique trick. Many candidates often complain that the biggest problem when taking the listening test is that they get distracted, so that they can't keep up with the rhythm of the essay and fail to grasp key information. The audio recordings of the IELTS listening test are played only once. During the test, candidates must read the test instructions and questions, listen to the audio recordings, and at the same time, write down important information and write down the answers. Once the examinee loses his mind, when he regains his senses, his confidence in continuing to listen carefully will easily suffer a blow and give up doing the question. In this article, the teacher will focus on the cohesion of IELTS listening and discourse. I hope it will help to restrain candidates from wandering in the test, so that candidates can keep up with the rhythm of the article and grasp the answer.

　　1. Lexical cohesion

　　Vocabulary cohesion includes repetitive words and co-occurrence words.

　　Repeated words are mainly the recurrence of original words, synonyms, and synonyms. By grasping the recurring relationship in the center of the text, you can smoothly grasp the theme of the text, which is also the key to short multiple-choice questions.

　　For example, You'd be expected to write an essay each month...and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks. And the question asks What two types of coursework are required each month on the part-time course Since every four weeks is the recurring word of each month and its synonymous conversion word, it is easy to choose the two options of an essay and a short report for this question.

　　2. Voice information connection

　　In listening discourse, the speaker conveys information through changes in phonetic features such as sentence stress, logical stress, intonation and tone. For example, in a dialogue, if a certain part is particularly emphasized and emphasized by the speaker, and this part is also the focus of IELTS listening, and if the speaker's tone is rising in the dialogue, then this part is very likely to be The trap of IELTS listening questions. In this regard, it is suggested that candidates should try to figure out and adapt to the characteristics and laws of English pronunciation through a lot of practice, so as to accurately obtain the key information of answering questions.

　　If candidates want to take the initiative in pre-reading questions and listening to the recording, that is to say, they can fully predict important information and keep up with the rhythm of the original text of the listening recording, they need to master the relevant methods and means. Will often miss the answer because of distraction. It is hoped that the several cohesive means of listening discourse discussed here can help examinees keep up with the rhythm of listening discourse, grasp important information, and write answers.

　　3. Classification of Cohesion Means of Listening Discourse

　　From the current teaching experience, it is found that the important connection means of listening discourse mainly include referential cohesion, lexical cohesion, logical signal word cohesion and phonetic cohesion. Reference cohesion refers to the use of pronouns and other grammatical means to express the reference and association of context. Lexical cohesion mainly refers to the synonymous transformation of words, such as repetition of words, synonymy, antonymy, hyponyms, complementarity, and the relationship between whole and part. This is a major focus of investigation. Logical signal words represent various logical meanings and linking means of discourse. Phonetic cohesion refers to connecting texts through speaker stress, intonation changes, and intonation cores.

　　4. Reference articulation

　　Reference articulation includes personal reference and thing reference.

　　For example, the relationship between questions 37 and 39 in Section 4 in Test4 in Sword 5. Question 37: training in specializedcomputer programs______. The matching option here is option B, which is library staff. Question 39 is checking the draft of the dissertation_____. The matching option here is option B. The original text of the listening recording in question 39 is When you'vegot something together the trainer here will look through the draftversion for you to see if it's ok.. The trainer here refers to the librarystaff selected in question 37, so these two questions are selected is the same answer. This is the answer that can be made based on the person's reference.

　　5. Cohesion of

　　logical signal words Logical signal words can be divided into enumeration relationship, transition relationship, sequence relationship, explanatory relationship, inductive relationship and causal relationship. These 6 categories of signal words can be used as a predictor. If candidates can respond to them, they will be able to grasp the speaker's train of thought.

　　For example, the original text of the listening recording is Most people tend to book twenty-four hours inadvance...however, the earliest you book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it. The title is Computer can be booked up to ___hours inadvance. If candidates notice how however This turning signal word, it should be possible to know that the first number 24 hours is a trap, and the answer should be 48 hours.
