BC省從2004年開始采用新的高中畢業制度，學生從拾年級起到拾贰年級，必須完成80學分，才能獲得畢業資格。而對於拾年級的學生來說，拾年級英文省考會是考生們迎來的第壹個挑戰。如何對拾年級省考做出有針對性的復習？拾年級省考又有哪些考試技巧？燕園教育中心的金牌英文老師Austin為考生們提出了幾點建議：
A few points about the multiple-choice section
關於多項選擇題：
1.If you do well on the multiple choice, you set yourself up for doing well on the exam as a whole, so give the multiple choice the time that it deserves (that will be indicated right on your exam booklet). Don’t rush to get to the writing section just because you are afraid that you will need a lot of time for the writing. While doing the multiple-choice, put a little mark beside the multiple-choice questions that you have trouble with or are unsure of, so that you can go back to them if you have time at the end.
如果你擅長做多項選擇題，那基本上對整個考試就算盡在掌握了。所以留給多項選擇題足夠的時間，（這壹點在考試說明書上也有明確提示）。不要因為擔心寫作時間不夠而急於跳到寫作部分。在做多項選擇題的時候，如果遇到難題或者不敢確定的題目，可以在旁邊標注壹下，留待所有題目都完成之後再回過頭重新思考這些題目。
2.When you have a passage or poem to read, which is the basis of the multiple-choice questions, make your first read-through fairly quick, just so that you get the general idea of the passage or poem. If you feel you don’t quite understand something, read that part once more but then go on to the end of the passage or poem. Don’t keep reading and re-reading a part you feel you don’t understand. The time to go back for careful reading is when you actually have the multiple-choice questions in front of you. That is the time to try to understand the material enough to answer the questions; you don’t need to completely understand the poem or passage.
多項選擇題中常常會要求考生閱讀壹段文章或詩歌。這時候，首先應快速地通讀壹遍文章，了解段落大意。如果遇到難以理解的段落，可以重讀壹遍該段落，然後繼續閱讀下面的部分直到讀完全部文章。不要壹直重復不停地讀你不懂的部分。真正需要精讀文章的時候，應該是在做題的過程中：你不需要完全讀懂整篇文章或詩歌的內容，而是集中精力找出題目所對應的文章段落，並鎖定答案。
3.If you feel that you really don’t know the answer, put off guessing until you can eliminate one or two of the four possible multiple-choice answers. Once you’ve crossed off one or two of the answers that seem very unlikely to be right, that’s the time to guess between the ones that are left.
如果你無法確定答案，可以采用排除法。 在題目的肆個選項裡，排除掉壹到兩個明顯不貼合文章的選項，然後在剩下的兩個選項裡猜測答案——贰選壹的准確率顯然要比肆選壹的准確率高很多。
關於寫作部分的壹些提示
1.You don’t have to write very much to get a good mark in the writing section. If you’re asked to write 1- 2 pages, aim to write one; if you’re asked to write 2 – 4 pages, aim to write two, but make sure what you say is on topic.
在寫作部分，你不需要為了得高分而寫很多字數。如果題目要求寫1-2頁，那麼你應該把字數控制在1頁左右。同樣的，如果題目要求寫2-4頁，那麼你就該把字數控制在2頁多。但壹定要確定你寫的內容符合題目的要求。
2.Read the question very carefully and make sure that what you write really is an answer to the question or topic that you have been asked to write about
在寫文章前，要仔細閱讀題目要求。確認你的寫作是回答問題或圍繞所給出的命題所寫，不能跑題。
3.Only start writing after you have made your notes about what you will say and have decided what will be your first point and your second point. If you make three points in your short writing or five in your long writing, that is plenty.
在真正開始寫文章之前，你應該先列壹個寫作大綱。這個大綱需要包含文章的中心思想以及第壹分論點和第贰分論點。如果是短作文，應該准備叁個分論點；而長作文應該准備伍個分論點。
4.If the question asks you to refer to a certain text, your notes about each of your points should include a quotation from the text or a reference to the text that supports that exact point. In the longer essay, the support you bring forward will be facts or examples from life. When you make a quotation, say what line or stanza the quotation or reference is from (if it’s a poem) or what paragraph the quotation or reference is from if it’s a prose (non-poem) passage. In some cases, the support will be from a fact or an example. Before you start, group your points so that they will make a couple of short paragraphs when you are actually writing.
如果題目要求你在寫作文的時候引經據典，在寫作大綱中，就需要把與每個分論點相關的引用和實例准備好。在長作文中，你的引用應該是生活中的事實或例子。如果你要引用名人名言，那麼需要指出這句話是誰說的，文章的出處在哪裡。在寫作大綱中，把你的分論點和論據，例證等素材歸類整理好，變成小的段落，以便寫作文的時候直接嵌入。
5.Start your short writing and your long writing with a sentence that summarizes your answer to the question that you have been asked. This summary sentence is your “thesis” statement. Then, write out the paragraphs that make your points.
你短作文和長作文的開頭的第壹句應該是文章的中心論點，也是作文題目的答案。這句話是全文的中心句。後面的內容都應該是圍繞這句話展開的。
6.End your short writing and your long writing with a sentence that sounds a lot like your first sentence – that is, it summarizes the answer you have just made – but if possible add an extra thought or a little bit of a twist so that the last sentence is a little bit different from the first one.
用與文章首句相呼應的壹句話來作為作文的結尾——這句話的作用跟第壹句話壹樣，也作用於總結整篇文章。但如果可以的話，盡可能地增加壹些其它的想法或變換詞語，以使這句話與文章首句有所區別。
7.The key thing with your writing is to make sure that all the points you make answer the question or prompt that you read at the beginning of the question. You don’t need to write a lot but try to make sure that you have supporting evidence for each point you make. The support will be in the form of a quotation or reference, a fact or an example.
寫作文的重點在於回答題目所問的問題。你不需要寫太多字，但是壹定要確認你在文章裡有足夠的論據來支持你的觀點。這些論據應該是引用名人名言，生活中的例子或者是著名的事件。
