PAGEPAGE6如何在新托?？谡Z考試中做筆記

眾所周知，為了模擬北美大學課堂的學術氣氛和學生在校園生活的方方面面，新托?？荚嚨目谡Z部分首次允許考生做課堂筆記（筆記考完要上交，但筆記不算分）、并要求考生能夠發表自己的意見和看法，而且必須具備對教授推薦的參考書寫出讀書報告、闡明自己觀點的能力以及其他處理校園生活中可能遇到的各種情況的能力。本文擬對新托福口語考試（包括獨立口語任務和綜合口語任務）中如何做筆記的問題做深人地分析和探討。

Note-takingintheIndependentTask

該部分要求考生就某一自己熟悉的話題闡述自己的觀點。一類問題是自由回答間題（Free-choiceResponse），如：Ifyoucouldhaveanyjobintheworld,whatwoulditbe?Usedetailstosupportyour.response；另一類是選擇類問題（Paired-choiceResponse），如：Doyouliketotrynewkindsoffoodoreatthesamekindoffoodallthetime?Usedetailsandexamplestosupportyourresponse,準備時間為15秒，回答問題時間為45秒。問題會被朗讀出來，且同時出現在屏幕上。考生可以不用理會電腦的朗讀，迅速閱讀完問題。這樣可以爭取大概5秒，那么在這大約20秒內，考生可在草稿紙上迅速記下自己所要表達的關鍵信息。這里記筆記的方法為“TST表格”。TST(Topic-Supportingideas--Transitions）意思是考生須在草稿紙上用一到兩個詞寫下欲表達的Topic（主題），Supportingideas（分論點）和Transitions（信號詞）。下面試舉一例：

Question:

Wherewouldyouwanttobeprofessionallyintenyears?Usedetailstosupportyourresponse.

考生應迅速在紙上寫下“ownbus...”、“master”、“workcom...”、“start”等信息見以下TST(Topic—Supportingideas—Transitions)表格。

Topicstatement:ownbus...(Iwouldliketoownmyownbusiness)

Supportingideas:(HowIwillworktowardowningmybusiness)

*master(Willgetmaster'sinbusiness)

*workcom...(Willworkincompanywhileplanningmybusiness)

*start(WillstartmyownbusinesswhenIamready)

Transitions:10nextbecause3within10y(可用y代替years)

SampleAnswer

IntenyearsIwouldliketorunanimportbusinessofmyown.Nextyear,Iwillbestartingamaster'sprograminbusinesswithaspecializationinEntrepreneurship.IwillbegettingthisdegreebecauseIhopetostartmyownbusinessandmakeitsuccessfulsomeday.AfterIfinishmymaster'sdegreethreeyearsfromnow,Iwillmostlikelytakeapositioninanothercompanyforafewyearstomakesomemoneyandtospendsometimeplanningmyownbusiness.Withintenyears,Ihopetoownmyowncompanyandbeonthewaytomakingitasuccess.

再舉一例：

Question:

Sometimesstudentshavetowritepapers.Sometimestheyhavetogiveoralpresentations.Whichactivitydoyouthinkisbetterforstudents,andwhy?Includedetailsandexamplesinyourexplanation.

考生應迅速在紙上寫下“pap”、“strongreadwriteexams”、“moretimethinkdeeply”等信息。見以下TST(Topic—Supportingideas—Transitions)表格：:

Topic:pap(writingpapersisbetterforstudents)

Supportingideas:(Whywritingpapersisbetter)

*strongreadwriteexams(needstrongwritingskillsforreadingandwritingandprepareforexams)

*moretimethinkdeeply(showunderstandingformoretimetoexplainandthinkdeeply)

Transitions:firstlybecause,soalso
