Tel︰ (02) 2365-3288

今天我們幫各位小偵探總結一下,在輔導學生準備托福的過程中,托福聽力答題時常犯的9種錯誤有哪些呢?各位小偵探接下來在準備托福聽力時,可以繞道而行,避免同樣的錯誤再次發生。


1種:原文信息漏聽

  這是最常見的一種錯誤原因,在聽力的過程中,由於種種原因導致細節漏聽。什麼是「種種原因」呢?可能包括:

  1. 聽力基礎不好,比如單字量太少文法太差導致各種聽不懂

  2. 由於聽力說話者的語速較快,思路跟不上語速

  3. 由於環境干擾走神或者耐心不足注意力不集中

【解決方法】

  1. 練習聽寫背單字加強文法概念,提升基礎的聽力能力

  2. 練習跟讀並學習模仿提升資訊處理速度

  3. 必需連續聽音練習,提升耐力或有必要時做「抗干擾練習」,比如做聽力時,同時播放英文廣播等


 2 種:選項中的單字不認識

  選項中的單字不認識,直接導致選項無法正常翻譯理解

  《例》

  Why does the professor discuss refugia? Click on 2 answers

  A. To explain that the location of coral within a reef affects the coral’s ability to survive

  B. To point out why some coral species are more susceptible to bleaching than others

  C. To suggest that bleaching is not as detrimental to coral health as first thought

  D. To illustrate the importance of studying coral that has a low vulnerability of bleaching

  這道題目B選項中的susceptibleC選項中的detrimental,以及D選項中的vulnerability很多同學可能不認識,不知其意,所以在選擇答案時出現困難。

【解決方法】

課後通過單字書大量累積單字,練習題目的時候在文章中和選項中,把自己不懂和似懂非懂的單字給記錄下來,形成自己的單字本


3種:選項翻譯錯誤

  句子的結構辨識不清,導致翻譯出錯。

  《例》

  What point do the speakers make about the background of The Dreamer?

  A. It is a good example of Beaux’s unusual style of brushstroke.

  B. It resembles the backgrounds of other Beaux portraits.

    C. Its lack of clarity emphasizes the theme of the painting.

  D. It is meant to suggest that the woman is in a dark room.

  這個題目的正確答案為C,正確翻譯是:缺少清晰度的背景強調了這幅畫的主題

  

很多同學把這句話中的lack看成了謂語動詞,翻譯成:背景沒有清晰的強調這幅畫的主題,和正確的翻譯截然相反,導致選錯。

【解決方法】

加強文法,確定好詞性和句子成分


 4 種:形近詞看錯

由於把選項中的形近詞看錯,或者把某個單字看成另外一個形近詞,導致理解錯誤。

  《例》

  What is the lecture mainly about?

  A. The environmental effects of heap roasting

  B. The reforestation efforts in the Copper Basin

  C. The process of mining and producing copper

  D. Damages caused during an attempt to clean up industrial waste

有部分同學把AB選項中的effecteffort看混淆,或者把B選項中的reforestation看成deforestation,導致理解的意思截然不同,所以選錯。

【解決方法】

睜大雙眼,仔細審查題目、看清選項描述。


 5 種:沒有留意到單詞的複數形

  在「主旨題」中,做主詞的單複數有截然不同的意義,如果是複數名詞則意味著這篇講座必須講解多個事物或者從多角度多方面講解某個事物;如果此篇講座只講解了單一事物或一個方面,則複數選項為錯,很多同學沒有仔細到單複數的變化,導致選錯。

  《例》

  What are the speakers mainly discussing?

  A. An architect from the United States and a house design she created

  B. The disadvantage of houses based on a square design

  C. Difficulties faced by residential architects in the nineteenth century

  D. Women who had a major influence on architecture in the United States

  這個題目的正確答案為A,很多同學會選DD選項的主詞是women,而這篇講座只講了一個女建築師的事情,所以排除D

2020-2021因為新冠肺炎疫情的影響,美國高等院校陸續公佈標準化考試接連取消,或者採“Test-Optional”。這也代表了其他申請文書資料例如essay,就變得更加重要了。

隨著申請高峰期的到來,越來越多的美國大學也公佈了essay的題目。福爾摩思學院陸續從各大學的網站,彙整了30幾所大學的essay題目,讓大家可以快速瀏覽每間學校的要求喔!


美國大學, 美國大學申請, 申請美國大學資料, TOEFL, 托福, 托福備考, 托福資料, 托福考試技巧

Rather than asking you to write one long essay, the MIT application consists of several short response questions and essays designed to help us get to know you. Remember that this is not a writing test. Be honest, be open, be authentic—this is your opportunity to connect with us.
 

You should certainly be thoughtful about your essays, but if you’re thinking too much—spending a lot of time stressing or strategizing about what makes you “look best,” as opposed to the answers that are honest and easy—you’re doing it wrong.

Our questions

For the 2020–2021 application year, we’re asking these short answer essay questions:


We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it. (100 words or fewer)


Although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why? (100 words or fewer)

 

At MIT, we bring people together to better the lives of others. MIT students work to improve their communities in different ways, from tackling the world’s biggest challenges to being a good friend. Describe one way in which you have contributed to your community, whether in your family, the classroom, your neighborhood, etc. (200-250 words)


Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations? (200-250 words)


Tell us about the most significant challenge you’ve faced or something important that didn’t go according to plan. How did you manage the situation? (200-250 words)


There is also one final, open-ended additional information text box, where you can tell us anything else you think we really ought to know.

Short Answer Questions Applicants submitting the Coalition Application, Common Application, or Quest Bridge Application will respond to the following short answer questions:
Students at Yale have plenty of time to explore their academic interests before committing to one or more major fields of study.

Please indicate up to three from the list provided. Why do these areas appeal to you? (125 words or fewer)


What is it about Yale that has led you to apply? (125 words or fewer)

What inspires you? Yale’s residential colleges regularly host conversations with guests representing a wide range of experiences and accomplishments. What person, past or present, would you invite to speak? What question would you ask? You are teaching a Yale course. What is it called? Most first-year Yale students live in suites of four to six students. What do you hope to add to your suitemates’ experience? What do you hope they will add to yours?


Essays

Applicants submitting the Coalition Application or Common Application: use the two short essays (250 words or fewer) below to reflect on topics and personal experiences that will help the Admissions Committee learn more about you. 


1. Yale’s extensive course offerings and vibrant conversations beyond the classroom encourage students to follow their developing intellectual interests wherever they lead. Tell us about your engagement with a topic or idea that excites you. Why are you drawn to it?


2. Respond to one of the following prompts:2A. Reflect on your membership in a community. Why is your involvement important to you? How has it shaped you?  You may define community however you like.
2B. Yale students, faculty, and alumni engage issues of local, national, and international significance. Discuss an issue that is important to you and how your college experience could help you address it.
2C. Tell us about your relationship with a role model or mentor who has been influential in your life. How has their guidance been instrumental to your growth?

Describe a creative or interesting solution, and then find the problem that it solves.


7.In the spirit of adventurous inquiry (and with the encouragement of one of our current students!) choose one of our past prompts (or create a question of your own).

2019年12月01日托福真題 #福爾摩斯 #托福準備 #托福補習班

 

根據同學的反應:
       1. 今天的托福考試雖然依舊是重覆舊題,但笑臉背後卻藏著殺招,比如閱讀測驗中「商周青銅器」,滿滿三大段肯定
           會給許多人留下陰影。不知道接下來的考試是否還會延續這種風格
       2. 
很多同學也提到:今天的獨立型寫做是今年以來最難的一次,不但題目又是一次長篇敘述,而且內文也不好發揮。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福真題, 托福機經, 托福考古題
 

Task 1

Agree or disagree

Should parents monitor their children’s access to social media? 父母應不應該控制孩子使用社交媒體?

Task 2 【聽力同意閱讀】

閱讀:提議學校應該設定不同的返校日期,讓學生分流入住宿舍。

聽力【同意】

  1. 新宿舍樓層很多,學生需要排隊上高樓層,浪費很多時間,如果能分流就能解決問題
  2. 同意早到的同學幫晚到的同學,因為距離上課還有一段時間,如果有時間幫忙,還能認識新朋友

Task 3

temptation bundling,一種能夠激勵人們做不想做事情的方法,即使人們知道這件事情是有好處的。這種方法具體來說,是把喜歡做的事情和不喜歡做的事情結合在一起,這樣就會促進人們去做不喜歡的事情。有兩個例子:

  1. 教授不喜歡打掃房間,但是喜歡聽audio book,所以他邊打掃房間邊聽書,並且成了一個固定的行為
  2. 教授不喜歡運動,儘管運動是好事情,但因樓下的健身房能邊騎車邊看教授最喜歡的冒險電影,因此教授辦了會員並且每週都去騎單車。

Task 4

植物為了防止被過度啃食(graze)的兩種適應模式(adaptation):

1. 再生能力(regrow),舉例一種grass根在土裡很深,被吃了上面的也沒事

2. 讓自己不好吃或者不能吃(taste bad/harm),舉例一種grass的新草長在舊的、腐爛的老草裡,動物就不會去吃。

和其他人一起工作時,你需要評鑑別人的工作。關於他的工作,你有兩個看法:是先給正面評價更有效?還是先給負面評價更有效?比如你在評價一個同學的作業,或者評價一個同事在一個專案裡的貢獻。

【依舊是一道長題目】

Integrated Writing

閱讀:freshwater不夠用,用iceberg來代替

  1. 可以漂浮運輸,更加方便
  2. 幫助保護魚類和其它生物,不會傷害生態圈
  3. 成本更低

聽力【反駁】

  1. 運輸過程中,會有風吹不到的地方,還可能會發生碰撞
  2. 運輸時間比較長,iceberg會融化,裡面的鹽分會融入到水裡,傷害水中的生物,危害生態圈
  3. iceberg很重很大,運輸的時候需要用機器將它們分割成小塊,並不能節約成本

2019年11月16日托福真題 托福準備 托福補習班 托福課程

 


【整體考試分析】

1. 這次考試很多小偵探臉都笑成了一朵燦爛的花,因為出現很多真題,除了TPO的題目之外,也有許多之前在課堂上練習的機經,這次和托福分手應該不用愁啦!

2. 獨立寫作終於又出現了長達十行的超長題目,但各位小偵探莫慌,因為題目越長,其實越好破題。托福大神們上課反覆重點強調的封閉語境,聽過的小偵探自然都懂。沒聽過的還不趕緊手刀衝來報名。

3. 閱讀有同學做到4篇文章都是大長段四段式,大長段已經是現在閱讀的主流趨勢,12月份要考試的同學們一定要提前做好相關訓練。

4. 聽力連續出現「排序題、五選三、四選二」,一定要堅持住,小宇宙一定不能崩!

5. 整合型口說和寫作這次都是常規的題型,沒有令人跌落椅子的驚嚇。而獨立口說和寫作都是課堂上講過的主題。

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福閱讀, TOEFL Reading

1. 恐龍滅絕的三個假設

2. 內燃機電機對工業革命蒸汽機產業的影響

3. 生態系統的進化:生態系統succession soil慢慢從barren變得有植被

4. 初生演替和次生演替

5. 銀狐試驗、馴養和control

6. 希臘小島settlement,希臘東邊四個小島上居住的人,只能以貿易為生

7. 人為什麼變老,細胞分裂停止,免疫系統變差,和協調系統相互影響

8. 歐戰戰後階級調整和原因,整體而言更加平等了

9. 馴化動物的特徵和出現這些特質的原因

8. Aztec agriculture,中間crop,環繞著canal,岸上有柳樹這樣的農業模式

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福聽力, TOEFL Listening
Conversation:

1. 一個男生想在dining hall裡當supervisor

2. 學生來問交流大使的事情,然後問了訓練還有演講的事情

3. 一個男生和歷史老師討論telephone和photophone

4. 學生來交作業,老師問為什麼用電子版,學生說是因為書店賣完了,老師說會督促書店解決  

5. 學生去career center還書

6. 學生去聽了一個Resume的workshop

7. 關於感興趣的職業怎麼在網上搜尋相關資訊

8. 學生交作業,老師發現作業本不夠,原來是後來加了幾個學生


Lecture:

1. 人類用火,發現了一個叫si的東西,然後通過做實驗證明古人有很多能力

2. 天文實驗室的選擇地點,原本各個大學獨立不同品質的望遠鏡觀測,後來建在山頂或者沙漠,但要考慮其他因素如供水,依靠不能觀測的雨季收集雨水

3. 鳥根據幼鳥的叫聲來給他們食物

4. coral reef,水中的糖分會導致細菌的滋生,最後會導致珊瑚礁的減少和死亡,然後還做了個模擬海洋環境的實驗

5. 考古學,土著澳大利亞人畫一種rock art,畫當地的動物和人們的生活,是很好的研究資源,舉了兩個例子:一個已經滅絕的動物,一個人種登陸

6. 兩棲動物:青蛙跨洲為什麼會有DNA相似的青蛙

7. Jane Austen & music

8. 三種不同massive的天體,著重討論了一個blue stragglers,給了兩個形成理論

9. 十九世紀創作音樂很貴,所以需要資助者(patron),後面隨著中產階級的增多,創作音樂就不貴了,資助的制度就消失了。這對音樂家來說有利有弊,舉了三個音樂家的例子,其中一個是貝多芬

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福口說, TOEFL speaking
Task 1

看國外新聞是否有必要?


Task 2

閱讀:

建議把幾個短的假期變成一個week-long的長假期

聽力:

女生不同意,因為這樣的話,學生就要一直上課會更stressful,並且就算是假期變長了,也不代表學生會好好利用,例如用來寫research paper之類的,而是會用在旅遊或者其它的娛樂上,比如看電影


Task 3

商業策略:Pregiving,先給一點小的gift再提要求。教授舉例在environment group工作時,要治理河川污染但是沒多少人捐錢,然後就在信裡放了日曆作為小禮物,人們變得更願意捐錢,因此完成了項目。


Task 4

植物在flood area生存的適應法則:

1. Physical,舉例是一些草類的根是在水上面,可以從空氣獲得氧氣

2. reproduction change,有一種植物只會在乾燥氣溫下釋出種子,這樣更方便存活

托福, 托福測驗, TOEFL, 托福考試, 托福寫作, TOEFL writing

Independent Writing

傳統的授課方式 (由老師講課、年紀14-18歲的學生做筆記,或者該讓學生討論,老師主導)在當下不適合了,因為沒有辦法為未來的事業做準備。有人認為新方法(student-lead discussion學生們互相交流,以及學生們做自己的工作和研究project-based,老師可以幫忙解決問題)更好。你認同哪一種?


Integrated Writing

Mars landing是在極地(pole)好,還是在赤道(equator)好。

閱讀:認為赤道好

1. 極地太冷,赤道溫度比較高,不會損害設備

2. 因為rotation離赤道距離更近,發射的時候就不用帶更多的回程燃料

3. 赤道有sunlight,極地太黑

聽力【反駁】:認為極地更好

1. 赤道白天升溫快、晚上降溫快,溫差大會損害設備

2. 設備以水為燃料,極地有大量的水

3. 赤道會有輻射(radiation)

9. 十九世紀創作音樂很貴,所以需要資助者(patron),後面隨著中產階級的增多,創作音樂就不貴了,資助的制度就消失了。這對音樂家來說有利有弊,舉了三個音樂家的例子,其中一個是貝多芬

Task 1

看國外新聞是否有必要?


Task 2

閱讀:

建議把幾個短的假期變成一個week-long的長假期

聽力:

女生不同意,因為這樣的話,學生就要一直上課會更stressful,並且就算是假期變長了,也不代表學生會好好利用,例如用來寫research paper之類的,而是會用在旅遊或者其它的娛樂上,比如看電影


Task 3

商業策略:Pregiving,先給一點小的gift再提要求。教授舉例在environment group工作時,要治理河川污染但是沒多少人捐錢,然後就在信裡放了日曆作為小禮物,人們變得更願意捐錢,因此完成了項目。


Task 4

植物在flood area生存的適應法則:

1. Physical,舉例是一些草類的根是在水上面,可以從空氣獲得氧氣

2. reproduction change,有一種植物只會在乾燥氣溫下釋出種子,這樣更方便存活

Independent Writing

傳統的授課方式 (由老師講課、年紀14-18歲的學生做筆記,或者該讓學生討論,老師主導)在當下不適合了,因為沒有辦法為未來的事業做準備。有人認為新方法(student-lead discussion學生們互相交流,以及學生們做自己的工作和研究project-based,老師可以幫忙解決問題)更好。你認同哪一種?


Integrated Writing

Mars landing是在極地(pole)好,還是在赤道(equator)好。

閱讀:認為赤道好

1. 極地太冷,赤道溫度比較高,不會損害設備

2. 因為rotation離赤道距離更近,發射的時候就不用帶更多的回程燃料

3. 赤道有sunlight,極地太黑

聽力【反駁】:認為極地更好

1. 赤道白天升溫快、晚上降溫快,溫差大會損害設備

2. 設備以水為燃料,極地有大量的水

3. 赤道會有輻射(radiation)

研究上百案例:準備托福的過程都存在這些問題!歡迎對號入座 #托福課程 #托福補習班 #托福聽力技巧 #托福準備多久

 

準備托福考試,有的人是1、2個月就披甲上陣,有的人是1年還載浮載沉;

有的人一戰試水溫、二戰分手,有的人是四戰、五戰依舊戰死沙場;

最後有的人考到了110+,而有的人則不忍直視成績單。

到底造成這麼大差距的原因是什麼呢?


準備考試的策略不同,當然最後學習的效果也會有所不同!在備考過程中大家都會遇到類似的問題和瓶頸,但並不是所有人都能找到最佳方案。因此福爾摩思秉持多年科學辦案的精神,列出以下常見問題及解決方式,歡迎對號入座。



1. 
先文後題 vs 先題後文

這個從盤古開天就存在的史詩級問題,一直有人不斷在糾結與爭辯,先文後題容易被文章耽誤時間,先題後文又太麻煩了,找來找去找不著答案。兩個都試試吧!發現怎麼樣都不好使,差點變成“邯鄲學步”!

在給出方案之前,福爾摩思得告訴大家一個殘酷的事實:無論你的答題習慣怎樣,文章讀不懂,題是做不下去的

【應對方案】泛讀文章,瞭解大概 → 讀題 → 細讀文章答題

當然,如果你自己已經有一套屬於自己的答題策略,還是以自己的為准,福爾摩思提供的方案均為「理想狀態下的最佳方案」。
 

2. 精讀 vs 泛讀

估計很多人都知道這個問題,但一直沒去重視,也有不少人只有擇一在練習,而實際上這兩種方式對於托福閱讀準備都是有幫助,作用是「精讀 > 泛讀」。

那麼是否可以用「精讀」取代「泛讀」呢?當然不行,別想偷懶!

「泛讀」最大的作用就是提升閱覽速度以及框架提取速度,而「精讀」的重點並不在此。

「精讀」則更多的是鍛煉邏輯能力,從字、句、段三個角度去分析理解文章,在這個過程中你需要積累單字、剖析長難句、理解文章中心論點及分論點
 

3. 長難句不都難

長難句分析是英語閱讀最重要的知識點,沒有之一。但請記住,看到一個長句子,不要直接以句法分析去讀。因為在實際考試中,分秒必爭,如果遇到長難句立刻心癢癢去分析,這會大大地浪費你的時間。


熟悉長難句的同學應該都知道,正常的文章閱讀習慣應該是無論句子多長,先從頭到尾讀完,意思直接能讀懂就過,讀不懂再進行句法分析、語序調整。真正幫你讀懂句子的往往是字意(義)的邏輯,而不是句法,快速分析長難句的方案如下:


1. 
先看標點符號。有標點的地方就是可以斷句的地方。

2. 在一個標點分割的部分中如果有主詞、動詞、受詞,萬事俱備,就順著再往下看,其餘的部分也應該是主詞、動詞、受詞都有的。

3. 如果標點分割的部分主詞、動詞、受詞有缺,順著往下看,應該能把缺掉的部分補回來。

4. 如果標點分割部分主詞、動詞、受詞不全,且順著往下看,沒有找到其餘的東西,那麼這個標點分割的部分應該是插入語。


以上四個步驟有一個共性:你必須知道一個完整的簡單句是一個什麼樣子
腦子裡有完整的句型,才能知道在長難句的部分中有什麼、缺什麼,這樣拆分句子就容易多了。


1. 
泛聽 vs 精聽

很多小偵探肯定以為跟閱讀情況一樣,錯錯錯!

泛聽其實可有可無,但「精聽」是你一定要具備的能力,是提升分數的關鍵

第一步:總聽全文。一是明確主題,大概知道這個段落講了什麼事;二是尋找邏輯,能簡單判斷出這篇文章是按時間順序寫的,還是空間順序;是現象解釋還是兩種觀點的比較等。

第二步:細聽每句。一句話先聽一遍,到了一個語意停頓的地方按暫停,通過你的回憶把這句話寫下來,能寫多少算多少。

第三步:反覆思考。這一步是核心關鍵。既要反覆,又要思考。這點待會兒詳談。

第四步:總結全文。一是看著自己寫出的內容再去聽一遍原文,二是回想剛才這裡為什麼沒聽出來。


2. 記筆記

一定要記筆記,但是問題是怎麼記筆記,當筆記遇上聽力,就是這樣的:

聽都聽不懂,怎麼記?

聽是聽懂了,但記什麼呢?

筆記跟不上聽力,我是記還是不記了?

筆記都寫了,但有用的沒幾個!

想全部記下來,但基本不可能,反而記得一塌糊塗!


所以正確的記筆記方式是什麼呢?從出題點出發

 

1. conversation段落開頭提到的原因必考(開頭30秒)—problem/question結尾的建議必考(尾巴題)

2. 段落開頭提到的本次主題必考:Today……;段落結尾的總結必考

3. 段落中重複兩次的地方必考:通常為本節課的重點師生各重覆一次的地方必考,注意在筆記中劃雙線;重覆兩次的名詞必考,一般重覆的名詞是AB項的替換詞;

4. 段落中的強調句型,多引出分論點

This is the first time…

One thing important is…

The most important thing…

You should remember/notice/bear in mind/keep in mind

在conversation中引出建議的句型。

1. “開口”= 跪

一道題目下來,瞬間就能找出一堆論點,所以咱缺的是論點嗎?

當然不是!實際上,絕大多數人缺的是舉例!因為肚子裡就那麼點東西…….


該怎麼辦好?就說說自己囉!

引出:When i……

I could……

In this way……

so……


還有很多詞可開頭或是連接,總之這些都不難,怎麼樣都比「啊」「ㄟ」「喔」強吧!


但問題有來了,就這麼幾十秒的準備時間,萬一反應不過來,連自己都扯不來怎麼辦?

莫急!獨立口說可以參考Task 3的材料做累積,實在不行就硬扯吧!只要表達清晰,觀點明確、語言豐富就行!千萬不要情急之下,飆出髒話就好……


 

1. 可以用模版嗎?

這還是個問題嗎?當然可以用,但一定要自己改一個,獨家模版!!
 

2. 沒東西可以舉例?

平常沒事就必須多搜集自己的語料庫,觀察周遭,整理好自己的例子,不要書到用時方恨少
 

3. 寫作字數?

寫越多越好?錯!獨立寫作最好450字左右,整合寫作300字左右。多了不一定加分,少了也不一定減分。重點是把握好時間,文章結構必須完整,有頭有尾,避免寫不完徒留遺憾。
 

4. 中間段落是應該3段還是2段?

都行,這得看時間和肚子裡的墨水,ETS官方是認可中間2段的,只要你符合主題、表達通暢、文法問題少、邏輯清晰即可!!!


呼~說了這麼多,希望這些學長學姐的痛,都可以化作你的托福成長路上的養分。

只要5分鐘,托福寫作立刻坐上27分寶座 #托福準備 #托福補習班 #托福成績單怎麼看 #托福準備多久

 


為什麼不是穩上30分?因為還有「3分是天註定……」


在花時間看這篇文章之前,5分鐘是指英語在有一定的程度下實現的。如果你目前單字量不足、文法還是一團混亂的話,那5分鐘就只能用來做做白日夢吧……


托福寫作一直是四個科目中較為簡單的項目,對單字的要求也不算高,但如果要滿分也不是一件簡單的事,除了實力之外還是得看運氣,因為寫作不像閱讀和聽力有固定的答案,它的評分機制是一種開放的狀態,同一篇文章在不同評分老師看來亮點和問題也會不一樣,最後給出的分數當然也會不同。


很多小偵探在準備考試的過程中都會碰上一個問題:自己的文章配不上這滿身的才華啊!滿肚子想說的話、想給的建議,改用英文寫作後整體立刻打對折。整合型寫作老是感覺搔不到癢處、寫不到重點,這就很頭疼了。因此托福寫作想拿高分,還是踏實穩健地提升寫作能力吧!

寫作Task 1就是整合型寫作(Integrated Writing),這部分的關鍵在於「對資訊的理解上,其次才是寫」。先要閱讀一篇文章、再聽一段聽力,最後寫出280-300字的作文。絕大部分的情況下,聽力都是反駁閱讀的,但也有極少數的情況是同意閱讀內容,甚至針對閱讀的觀點作補充或進行解答。


閱  讀

整合型寫作的閱讀文章一般都是四段:
第一段簡介開頭,第二~四段則是分段對應三個要點。而這三個要點一般可以歸納為三類:

  1. 論證類此類一般是對特定的主題提出了某個主張或觀點,接著說明三個支持的原因。而聽力的部分則是對應這三個原因進行反駁。

  1. 說明類閱讀內容表達三種不同的觀點,可能是關於什麼事件的原因或是某物的使用等。聽力則對這三個觀點都提出質疑。

  1. 問題和解決方案閱讀文章提出與某個主題有關的三個問題。而此時聽力並不是進行反駁,而是補充如何解決每個問題。


最後,聽力的要點一定與閱讀說明的要點對應並且順序一致。所以整合型寫作的重點就在聽力筆記上,一定要注意彼此間的邏輯和對應順序。除了要點之外,還需要記錄一些細節。


搞定了主題和大綱,要怎麼下筆呢?提供幾個句型讓各位小偵探參考。

【開頭】

● The reading and the lecture are both about _____, which is/are _____.

● The author of the reading believes ______.

● The lecturer challenges the statements made by the author.

● He/She is of the opinion that _____.


【中間】

第一段

● First of all, the author suggests that ______.

● It is mentioned that _____.

● This argument is challenged by the lecturer.

● He says _______.

● Furthermore, he argues that ______.

第二段

● Secondly, the writer contends that _____.

● The article notes _____.

● The lecturer, however, rebuts this by asserting that _____.

● He elaborates on this by mentioning that _____.


【結尾】

● Finally, it is stated in the article that ____.

● The author establishes that _____.

● The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that ____.

● He puts forth the idea that ____.


獨立型寫作的重點則在於「寫」,30分鐘寫一篇380~450字的文章。通過題目確定一個主題或論述觀點,然後再去擴充內容。


同樣,獨立型寫作的問題也分為好幾類:

  1. 利弊類
  2. 偏好類
  3. 三選一類
  4. 事實類

一般來說,「三選一」和「偏好類」的題目描述會比較長,切記要讀懂題目的意思,不要曲解,免得作文跑題。而事實類和利弊類的題目都會較短,比較容易理解。

 

【開頭】

一般是介紹性段落,不要有太多廢話,直接引出重點。

 引言句:結合主題做相關描述,引出下一句主題。

 主題句:直接表明你的觀點,可以用“Personally, I believe…”引出。

 銜接句:表示自己有幾個分論點,順利過渡到下一段。

請注意!不要直接複製貼上題目,務必要換句話說


【中間】

這裡分兩個分論點,2~3個分論點都是可以的,ETS評分不會太關心這個。中間這兩段的結構基本是一樣的,有些描述變化一下即可。

● 開頭主題句:陳述你的理由或是觀點。

● 第2-4句解釋:說說一些廢話。

● 第5句過渡:舉例說明。

● 舉例後:結合自己簡單描述。

請注意:

1. 多使用簡單複合句

2. 例子占60%,其實很好寫。

3. 避免使用太短的句子(少於7個單詞)和太長的句子(超過60個單詞)


【結尾】

只需要重覆你的論點和你的兩個分論點即可,字數不夠的話還可以再延伸一下。

● 第一句:重述論點,“In conclusion, I am of the opinion that…”。

● 第二句:重述兩個分論點,“This is because ______, and _______. ”

請注意:

1. 不要複製貼上你前面寫過的話,請再換句話說

2. 千萬千萬不要在最後一段冒出新觀點

3. 不要再寫“This is because that…”,非常鱉腳,換點新詞兒吧!


各位小偵探有沒有發現,其實英文作文的脈絡是一樣的。論點清楚、文章結構完整、說明有條有理、舉例有憑有據
跟著老司機走,絕對帶你上高分天堂。
