長對話答案解析
本次四級考試長對話第一篇總體難度不大,是幾乎每年都會涉及的學習場景,這次著重考察的是寫論文部分。
對話主要內容是學生要寫一篇關于越野滑雪的論文,在這個地方可能很多同學會把cross-country誤解為“跨國”,但是只要聽到后面的woods, peaceful, quiet就可以把這個概念排除。然后講到學生在寫論文中碰到的問題是他想寫的peaceful和quiet 似乎不應該作為論文的heart(核心),同時他又覺得這個部分很重要。老師及時解除了他的疑惑,她給的建議是把這個重點保留在自己的論文中,因為在寫論文的時候本來就有一部分是實事先預料的,還有一部分是在寫作中慢慢發展的。
對話一共有三個問題,分別是1.學生論文的題目;2.學生寫論文遇到的問題;3.老師提出在寫論文的常態是什么?答案分別在長對話的第二、第四和最后一個回合中。
這三個問題根據“話題轉換有考題”、“聽到什么選什么”的原則,以及“有problem一定是考點”的方法,相信考生一定能準確地定位答案。
這篇長對話的話題也再次給以后的考生提了個醒,在四級中“學習場景”永遠是個熱門話題,它的場景詞也是一定要反復背誦的。
