托?？谡Z對(duì)于中國(guó)考試來說，一項(xiàng)是比較困難的，今天就和出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編一起來看看托福獨(dú)立口語訓(xùn)練：?jiǎn)T工應(yīng)該被允許在工作的時(shí)候聽音樂嗎？
Do you agree with the statement： employees should be allowed to listen to music at work？
你同意這種說法嗎？員工應(yīng)該被允許在工作時(shí)聽音樂。
It＇s hard to learn a new skill needed at work when we listen to music.
When you’re presented with new information that’s complicated， it takes more focus and mental energy for you to grasp and apply that knowledge. For instance， if you’re learning how to drive a stick shift car or writing your first lines of programming code， it’s best to turn the music off. Also， listening to music at work will decrease our efficiency. Listening to music takes up some of your attentional capacity， meaningthat if you listen to it while working， you have fewer resources left for the task at hand.
What＇s more， lyrics are often distracting. For intensive work， lyrics are especially destructive for focus. Trying to engage in language related tasks such as writing while listening to lyrics is akin to holding a conversation while another person talks over you while also strumming a guitar. Lyrics are often a nogo.
當(dāng)我們聽音樂時(shí)，很難學(xué)到工作所需要的新技能。當(dāng)你遇到復(fù)雜的新信息時(shí)，你需要更多的精力和精力去掌握和應(yīng)用這些知識(shí)。例如，如果你正在學(xué)習(xí)如何開一輛換檔車或者寫你的第一行編程代碼，最好關(guān)掉音樂。此外，在工作中聽音樂會(huì)降低我們的效率。聽音樂占用了你的注意力，這意味著如果你一邊工作一邊聽，你就沒有多少資源可以直接處理手頭的任務(wù)。而且，歌詞往往過于分散注意力。密集工作時(shí)歌詞會(huì)破壞專注力。想從事語言相關(guān)的任務(wù)，比如寫作的話，聽有歌詞的音樂有點(diǎn)像跟另一個(gè)人談話…同時(shí)彈著吉他。這往往是行不通的。
