Lost in Translation

中国人都生活在水里？OR NOT也欢迎你来参与聊天

欢迎新伙伴Cindy！

雅思考试经验分享：口语：练习、练习、还是练习，定期定时模拟练习，30天坚持包见效果，如果自己坚持不下来可以找我们，哈哈哈听力：专注、专注、还是专注。练习自己不走神的能力。另外雅思有逐渐tricky的趋势，要做好心理准备。Sometimes it's not your fault.阅读：做几套摸到门路即可。写作：不要当成艺术品，就当成造手机，快速生产工业品。核心是知道如何快速炮制出地道的表达，把表达连城句子，再组成文章。总结：你练习中的缺点和错误会千百倍在实际考试中放大，如果想100%拿高分，不要侥幸。
