墨尔本PTE考试题型介绍及答题技巧之PTE写作题型Summarize Written Text

例题 1.

‘Just-in-Time’ is a method of manufacturing products which aims to minimise production time, production costs, and the amount of stock held in the factory. Raw materials and supplies arrive at the factory as they are required, and consequently there is very little stock sitting idle at any one time. Each stage of the production process finishes just before the next stage is due to commence and therefore the lead-time is significantly reduced. With a ‘Just-in-Time’ production system, the level of production is related to the demand for the output (i.e. the number of orders) rather than simply producing finished goods and waiting for orders. This means that raw materials and stock only need to be ordered from suppliers as required.

例题分析：

做Summarize Written Text最重要的就是通过Skimming & Scanning来判断需要保留和删除的内容，定位关键内容。那么我们就来看看墨尔本PTE老师做题的过程中定位了哪些关键信息吧：

‘Just-in-Time’ is a method of manufacturing products which aims to minimise production time, production costs, and the amount of stock held in the factory. Raw materials … Each stage of the production process finishes just before the next stage is due to … With … This means that raw materials and stock only need to be ordered from suppliers as required.

很明显这段话的内容是在介绍‘Just-in-Time’这个东西，那么你的Summary中只要把它是什么讲清楚就好了，所以其他无关内容、修饰性内容一概删除，文中红色高亮字体即是重点内容。

参考答案：

‘Just-in-Time’ production is a method of manufacturing which minimizes production time, production costs and the amount of stock held in the factory by finishing the processes just before the next stage, which allows raw materials and stock to be ordered from suppliers as required. (44 words)

同学们快比对一下自己给出的答案是否正确吧~这段话其实算是比较简单的类型，因为原文内容只有一段话，简短明了，信息集中，易于判断。

那么我们接下来就来看一个相对难一些的例题~

例题2.

A dowry—the money or property a bride brings to her husband at marriage—was common in the past. It flourished throughout much of the ancient world, and also in medieval Europe.

The practice of dowries apparently originated when a bride’s parents gave her presents. For example, during the Middle Ages, young girls in rural areas received a dowry from their parents to take with them into marriage. Typically, she received a bed when she turned 12, followed by a wardrobe the next year.

As time went on, the dowry developed various functions. A dowry of household goods often helped the newlyweds set up their own home. A dowry of property or jewellery would help the wife support herself if her husband died. Generally, the husband returned the dowry to his in-laws if he and his wife divorced or if his wife died childless.

Sometimes, the groom’s family paid for the bride, often to compensate her family for the money spent raising her. If the bride had been a valuable worker, her family was sometimes compensated for the loss of her economic support.

Today, traditional wedding observances are losing ground all over the world. However, some traditional cultures, including gypsies, many Hindus, and certain African societies, continue to see dowries as a usual part of marriage. For example, a groom of the Roma people, or gypsies, pays the bride’s family for the loss of their daughter. The bride price also ensures that the bride will be well treated by her new family. Negotiations between the families of the bride and groom can become quite extensive, with the bride’s father calculating how much his daughter has cost him since her birth, and how much she could be expected to earn during her lifetime.

例题分析：

这道题相对较难，一是原文较长，需要总结的信息比较分散；二是内容多，会造成考生难以判断哪些内容是需要保留的关键信息。那么各位同学就来比对一下下面AIL老师给出的这段话中的关键信息吧。

The practice of dowries apparently originated when a bride’s parents gave her presents. For example…

…

Today, traditional wedding observances are losing ground all over the world. However, some traditional cultures, including gypsies, many Hindus, and certain African societies, continue to see dowries as a usual part of marriage. For example…

不难看出，这类长文每段的第一句话很可能包含重要的信息；再有就是文中出现的For example可以直接忽略，一下就减少了很多内容；其次是讲解细节的具体信息，也不需要在summary中出现，于是也减少了很多内容。

参考答案：

A dowry, which originated when a bride’s parents gave her presents, is the money or property a bride brings to her husband at marriage, and is still a usual part of marriage in some societies even though traditional wedding observances are losing ground. (43 words)
