Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam.
大家好,歡迎回到engvid.com,我是Adam。
Today's lesson is going to be for those of you who are going to take the TOEFL or IELTS test.
今天的課程是為你們中要考托福和雅思的人準備的。
So just so you understand, I will be speaking at a more natural speed.
所以希望你們知道,我會用一個更自然的語速講話。
It will be a little bit faster than some of you are used to, but listen anyway, and watch, it's very good for listening practice, and it will be helpful regardless.
會比你們習慣的語速要稍快一點,不過你們仔細聽,認真看就是了,這是一個很好的練習聽力的機會,而且不管怎樣都會有幫助的。
So today's lesson is specifically about note-taking skills.
今天的課程是針對做筆記的技巧的。
I'm going to concentrate on the TOEFL, but it is also very useful for the people taking an IELTS test.
我要集中講的是托福,不過對要參加雅思考試的人來說,這也是很有用的。
Now, if you've seen my time management class for IELTS, you will realize that in the listening section, it's very important to know how to take notes.
如果你們看過我的雅思考試時間規(guī)劃課程的話,想必很清楚在聽力部分知道怎么做筆記很重要。
You don't want to waste time concentrating on spelling and writing full words while the recording is playing because you have time at the end to transfer your answers.
在播放錄音期間,你們不會想把時間浪費在拼寫完整單詞上的,因為聽力部分結束后會給你們時間謄寫答案。
That's when you want to write correctly spelled answers and everything.
那才是你們要正確拼寫出答案的時候。
You want to just make sure during the listening section that you write enough to know what the word is.
你們只要確保自己在聽力部分寫下了足夠的信息,能夠辨認出這個單詞是什么就行了。
We're going to get into that a little bit later.
我們稍后再詳細講一下。
What I want to concentrate on mostly, though, is the TOEFL test, okay?
不過我想要主要關注的還是托??荚?。
Because in the TOEFL test, it is crucial that you know how to take notes.
因為在托福考試中,知道如何做筆記至關重要。
Why? You have a listening section; you have a speaking section; you have a writing section, all of which have a listening component.
為什么?你們有聽力部分、口語部分和寫作部分,所有這些都與聽有關。
Remember, this is an integrated test, you're going to have to listen in each one of these sections, okay?
記住,這是一個綜合測試,你們在每一個部分中都必須聽。
In the listening section, what many people don't realize who haven't taken a test yet: You don't see anything. Okay?
很多還沒參加過托??荚嚨娜藳]意識到的一件事是:在聽力部分,你們什么都看不到。
You don't see the questions as you're listening to the lectures or whatever you're listening to.
在聽演講或者任何內容時,你們都是看不到問題的。
So it's very, very important that you take notes as you're listening so that when the questions do come,
所以在聽的過程中做好筆記非常非常重要,這樣開始提問的時候,
you have the information in front of you, you know how to answer it, okay?
你們面前就有信息,就知道該如何回答問題了。
In the speaking section, you may be given a short conversation to listen to and then be given a question, and you have to speak your answer.
在口語部分,他們也許會讓你們聽一段簡短的對話,然后給你們一個問題,你們必須把答案用英語講出來。
But if you don't remember what they spoke about, then, you can't answer the question properly.
但是如果你們不記得對話中講了什么,那你們也就沒法兒好好回答問題了。
