Hello, Hadar.
你好，Hadar。
I'm Bahar, I'm a new follower.
我是 Bahar，刚刚关注了你。
The reason I'm sending this video is, I have a question for you, and I want to raise my confidence in speaking skills.
我发送这段视频的原因是，我有一个问题要问你，我想提高我的口语自信。
My problem is with TOEFL questions.
我的问题是托福试题。
I understand the passage, a reading passage, and I totally understand the audio.
我听懂了阅读文章，也完全听懂了音频。
But when the questioner tells me that I have 60 seconds to answer, I totally mess up the words, the paraphrasing structure, and the tense of the verbs.
但当它告诉我只有 60 秒的时间回答时，我完全搞砸了单词、释义结构和动词的时态。
And eventually, I lose time.
然后，我时间就耗尽了。
What should I do?
我该怎么办？
Thank you for your time.
多谢你的宝贵时间。
Okay.
好的。
Hey, Bahar.
嘿，Bahar。
Thank you so much for this great, great question.
非常感谢你提出的这个很棒的问题。
Now, let's begin with the fact that even I get stressed out, if I need to organize my thoughts and execute them in less than 60 seconds.
其实，如果我需要在 60 秒内组织我的想法并说出它们，我也会感到压力。
Sometimes, it takes me time just to understand what I'm trying to say within a minute of speaking.
有时候，我花了很长时间才在一分钟内明白我想说什么。
And by the way, it has nothing to do with English.
但这和英语没有关系。
It happens to me in my native language as well.
用母语说说也是这样。
So, I can understand the pressure.
所以，我能理解这种压力。
And between you and me, and everybody else watching, I find that it's totally unfair to test someone's speaking skills by putting them in this type of pressure.
我认为，通过给一个人施加这种压力来测试他们的演讲能力是完全不公平的。
But we're not going to talk about that right now.
但我们现在不打算讨论这个。
We're going to talk about how to prepare so you can succeed in the test.
我们将讨论如何备考，以帮助你取得高分。
Now again, remember that if you don't succeed, it says nothing about your English skills and your fluency.
请记住，即使你的分数不高，也不能说明你的英语技能和流利程度。
It really says all about how you can manage your speaking under stress in a second language.
因为它是让你在一定压力下用第二语言交流。
Which is usually not the case when we communicate.
我们交流时通常不是这样的。
But again, I showed my resentment to this exercise already.
但是，我已经对这个练习表达了我的不满。
So, here is the thing.
事情是这样的。
I always say that: to get better at something, you need to do more of that something.
我总是说：要想在某件事上做得更好，你需要在那件事上做得更多。
That's it.
就是这样。
So, if you need to get better at speaking in this timeframe of one minute about different topics, it's not about improving your grammar, it's not about learning more words, and it's definitely not about improving your pronunciation.
所以，如果你需要在一分钟的时间框架内更好地谈论不同的话题，重要的不是提高你的语法，不是学习更多的单词，也不是提高你的发音。
It's all about how to organize your thoughts really quickly and express them really quickly in under one minute.
这是关于如何快速组织你的想法，并在一分钟内快速表达出来。
So, what I would recommend for you to do is to download a list of different questions, either from test websites, or if you just type in "conversation topics" or "questions for English tests".
所以，我建议你们从考试网站上下载一系列不同的问题，或者直接输入“对话话题”或“英语考试问题”。
You can find a ton of lists online.
你可以在网上找到大量的资源。
And then every day you want to practice reading the question without preparing in advance, thinking about it for 10 seconds.
然后每天你都要练习在没有事先准备的情况下阅读问题，思考 10 秒钟。
And when you think about it, you want to organize three ideas.
当你思考的时候，你想要组织三个想法。
Right?
对吧？
You want to organize the opening; the main thing that you want to talk about, maybe think of one or two examples; and then closing.
你要组织开头、内容、一两个例子，然后是结尾。
Right?
对吧？
Opening, middle, and closing.
开始，中间，结束。
That's what you want to think about really quickly.
这是你们需要快速思考的问题。
And then, to practice speaking while timing yourself, okay?
然后，练习说话的时候给自己计时，好吗？
Cause the skill is to do it in under one minute.
因为你需要在一分钟内完成作答。
And the more you do it, the more you become confident at your ability to do that in under one minute, right, without getting all stressed out.
练习得越多，你就越有信心在一分钟内做到这一点，而不会感到压力很大。
And that alone can do a lot to your performance in the test.
仅仅这一点就会对你在考试中的表现有很大影响。
Because a lot of it has to do with confidence.
因为这很大程度上与自信有关。
Right?
对吧？
You know, the video that you just sent me, is a video of under one minute, where you expressed a clear idea.
你刚刚发给我的视频不到一分钟，但你表达了一个清晰的想法。
You were clear, your grammar was great, your pronunciation was great.
你说得很清楚，语法很好，发音也很好。
Everything was great. Right?
你的英语很好，不是吗？
I would totally pass you.
如果是我，一定会让你合格的。
So, without knowing that you are being tested, it's easy.
所以，在不知道你正在被测试的情况下，说话是很容易的。
So, you need to develop the skill of doing something under pressure, preparing for the test.
你需要的是培养在压力下做事的技能，为考试做准备。
Until you build that confidence in you that it's possible for you.
你需要建立起对自己的信心，相信这是可能的。
Right?
对吧？
So that when you get asked a question or when you get to that part in the test, you're like, "I got this." "This is not scary to me, I can totally do it." "I've done it. I know I'm able to do it again." All right?
所以当你被问到一个问题，或者当你在考试中遇到那个部分时，你会说，“我懂了。”“这对我来说一点都不可怕，我完全可以做到。”“我之前练习过了，我知道我可以。”好吗？
So that's the mindset and confidence aspect.
这就是心态和信心方面的问题。
Now, back to the technical aspect of organizing your thoughts clearly, that's a skill too.
现在，回到清晰组织思想的技术层面，这也是一项技能。
Everything is a skill, right?
一切都是技能，对吧？
So, this is something that you'll be practicing by doing it at least once a day, again and again and again.
所以，你需要每天至少练习一次，一遍又一遍地练习。
And if you want to get really fancy, you can record yourself, listen to it, give yourself some notes.
如果你想要发音更好，可以录下来，然后做一些练习。
Try to implement it again, so you can record it again.
然后再说一遍，再录音一次。
And then the next day, think of the notes that you've given yourself the previous day, right?
然后第二天，想想你前一天给自己的笔记，对吧？
Maybe you didn't have enough examples, or maybe your grammar was inconsistent, or maybe you weren't very clear.
也许你没有足够的例子，也许你的语法不连贯，也许你的表达不是很清楚。
And try to focus on that in addition to, you know, all the other things that you're focusing on when answering the question.
在回答这个问题的时候，尽量把注意力放在这个问题上，而不是放在你关注的其他事情上。
But like I said, you want to get better at something - do more of that something.
但就像我说的，如果你想在某件事上做得更好，那就多多练习。
Bahar, I have no doubt that you can pass it with flying colors.
Bahar，我毫不怀疑你能顺利通过考试。
You got to believe in yourself.
你要相信自己。
I have full faith in you.
我对你充满信心。
And I can't wait for you to write back to me, telling me that you have passed the test.
我等不及你给我回信，告诉我你已经通过考试了。
You have my support, you have the community support.
你有我的支持，你有大家的支持。
Good luck.
祝你好运。
And I hope this helped.
我希望这对你们有所帮助。
