新東方專家詳細解讀托福綜合寫作(2)

字號:

B. Listen for information, examples, or explanations that make points in the reading passage seem wrong or less convincing or even untrue. For instance, in the example just given, the reading passage says that working in teams is a good thing because it gives individuals a chance to stand out. But the lecture says that often everyone gets equal credit for the work of a team, even if some people do not do any work at all. The reading says that work proceeds quickly on a team because there are more people involved, and each person brings his or her expertise. But the lecture completely contradicts this claim by stating that it may take a long time for the group to reach consensus. The lecture brings up the idea that the whole team can be blamed for a failure when the fault lies with only a few team members. This casts doubt on the claim in the reading that teams can take risks and be creative because no one individual is held accountable。
    專家詳解綜合寫作:
    根據(jù)官方的說法,新托福寫作中的“綜合任務(wù)”考試的形式比較特殊,要求考生先用3分鐘閱讀一段學(xué)術(shù)文章,然后再聽一段和閱讀文章內(nèi)容相關(guān)的聽力文章,后在20分鐘內(nèi)將兩片文章之間的關(guān)系用書面寫作的方式表達出來。
    這個寫作任務(wù)的考試目的事實上對考生日后在國外大學(xué)的學(xué)術(shù)生活很有幫助:考生看到的書本中的內(nèi)容和教授上課的解釋之間是什么關(guān)系呢?支持?相悖?考生要學(xué)會分辨和表達。所以,不能單純的為了應(yīng)考而準備托??荚?,應(yīng)該將其視為出國深造的“前站”。
    在閱讀和聽力過程中,考生都能得到一張草稿紙供記筆記使用。事實上,合理高效的筆記方法確實是在后“寫”的過程中能否寫的全面,寫的正確的關(guān)鍵因素之一。但是,記筆記是有技巧的。一般來說,閱讀文章會有一個中心思想和由此中心思想延伸出的三個“點”。而這三個點,又是考生將會在之后的聽力中聽到的將會被支持或者駁斥的。
    但是在閱讀文章中的三個點,有時是出現(xiàn)在段落第一句,有時是隱藏在文章內(nèi)容中,需要考生迅速作出判斷,將這三個點盡快提煉出來。而備考技巧充分的考生,將懂得如何在稍后的聽力筆記中將講話者如何支持或駁斥的這三個點的筆記結(jié)合在閱讀筆記中,在提筆開始寫之前,已經(jīng)搭建好了文章的框架,而不用額外的時間再去打?qū)懽魑恼碌牟莞濉R虼?,專家在此可以毫不夸張的說,決定考生綜合寫作命運的,記筆記是至關(guān)重要的第一步。
