那真的是一個好的回答。

However, most IELTS candidates can’t use grammar perfectly, and make mistakes when

然而，大部份的雅思考生不能完美地 用語法，並且在他們

they speak.

口說時犯錯。

Let’s look at two more answers which might be more realistic for you if you’re planning

我們看看其他兩個回答，如果您 計劃在近期參加雅思測驗，

to take IELTS in the near future.

這些對您來說更實際。

So, answer number two:

答二：

"I have lot of hobbies.

"I have lot of hobbies.

I’m doing different things depending on what’s my mood.

I’m doing different things depending on what’s my mood.

are many, many grammar mistakes in the second answer.

In the third answer, there are no grammar mistakes.

而答三，沒有語法錯誤。

What’s going on?

怎麼啦？

How can an answer with lots of mistakes be better than an answer with no mistakes?

一個有大量錯誤的回答怎麼 可能比一個沒有錯誤的更好？

First of all, the second candidate at least tries to use more complex sentences.

首先，第二個考生至少嘗試用 更多複雜的句子。

The third candidate uses very short, simple sentences.

第三個考生用了非常短的，簡單的句子。

This is an interesting point: in IELTS, trying and failing, or partly succeeding, is better

這一點很有趣：在雅思考試裡， 嘗試並失敗，或部份成功，

than not trying at all.

要比什麼都不嘗試的更好。

The third candidate is trying to stay safe, by only using grammar which he/she knows,

第三位考生想用他/她知道的語法來 停留在安全範圍內，

but this is not the best idea.

但這並不是一個好主意。

Secondly, the second answer is clear.

其次，答二是清晰的。

There are lots of grammar mistakes, but the mistakes don’t make it difficult to understand.

儘管有大量的語法錯誤，但是錯誤\不至於更難懂。

This is another important point: in the IELTS exam, mistakes which don’t affect your meaning

這是另一個重點：在雅思測驗裡， 不影響您意思的錯誤不是

are not such a big problem.

一個大問題。

I should say now, this is only true if you are aiming for a score of 6.0 to 7.0.

我必須說，如果您的目標定在6分 到7分，這是真的。

If you need to get 7.5 or higher, then you need to speak accurately, without grammar

如果您想得到7.5分或更高，那麼 您需要準確地說，沒有

mistakes, like the first candidate.

語法錯誤，像第一個考生那樣。

However, this is not true for many IELTS students, especially students I meet.

然而，對很多雅思學生來說，這不是真的， 特別是我遇到的學生們。

Most people need a score in the 6.0-7.0 range.

大部份的考生想要評分在6-7分之間。

If this is what you need, you don’t need perfect grammar, just like you don’t need

如果這是您需要的，您不需要 完美的語法，就像您不需要

perfect vocabulary.

完美的字彙一樣。

You need to use what you know to communicate clearly.

您需要用自己知道的東西 來清晰地交流。

That’s much more important.

那是更加重要的。

So, if you know that your grammar is not perfect, it’s better to try to speak fluently and

所以，如果您知道您的語法不完美， 試著流利地說和清晰地

express yourself clearly.
