【PTE口语】Retell Lecture破解大法,例题详解教你如何筛选重点信息!

20160601154458-shutterstock-387274792

最近经常被学生问的一个问题是:我该怎么样提高RL和SST的成绩。很多培训机构或者老师会建议大家精听,换言之逐字逐句地听写下来。对于精听,我的看法是:精听有一定的帮助。精听有助于提高英语基础,以及对于词语的掌握。但是就解题而言,它没有解决一个根本的问题,那就是:我到底该说什么?很多考生会误以为在RL和SST中,尽可能多说就是好的。这个在很大程度上来说是一种误区,试想:一篇Native Speaker尚且要1分半才能说完的内容,我们又怎样能在40秒内完全覆盖呢?

因此,这篇知识贴中讲述的是一个非常重要的技巧:如何筛选重要的内容?这也就是我们的归纳能力。说实话在我看来,Lecture中说的内容,起码有一半以上,是听不懂也无所谓的。我们所需要抓取的,是最重要的信息。对于那些杂项,及时清理掉就好了。

Lecture中涉及的内容并不难理解,那么如何合理地在考试中记录笔记并且复述呢?

 

解题思路解析
Can you remember being a teenager? Did you find yourself going to bed later and later every night, and then struggling to get up in the morning?
根据语气与内容,我们可以判断出开始的两句话是疑问句。疑问句可以分为两个大类:一般疑问句和特殊疑问句。一般疑问句通常由动词前置来提问,回答只能是Yes or No。在这里,两句话都是一般疑问句。一般疑问句在Lecture中的主要意图是寻求共识,因此会大致地给出关于背景的信息。
在这里,我们可以从两个问句中找到最有价值的词语:teenager, going to bed late。不难理解,文章的主旨是分析年轻人的睡眠状况。
考试中,当听到这样的问句时,可以判断一下文章的主题,其他的内容都可以选择性无视。

Well, that’s a common experience, but warn that for some people may be the cause of weight gain.

在这句话中,有一个非常有意义的语气词well,以及更加重要的转折词but。因此这句话的内容可以说是整篇Lecture的核心。从这句话中,我们应该记录下的词语有:common experience, cause of weight gain.

考试中,需要特别注意转折词的出现,以及一些语气词的使用,这些词语通常可以暗示我们重点在哪里。

Most teenagers should get 9 hours of sleep a night. However, many get less than 8. A number of studies have shown that this amount of sleep can lead to a greater consumption of food that are high in fat and sugar, and there is an inevitable consequence of this: an increase in weight.

第一句话是一个数据,是一个例子,因此我们不需要对此进行记录。

第二句话虽然以转折词However开头,但依然在分析数据,所以是一个例子,继续无视。

第三句话中,以一个比较长的套句A number of studies have shown that…作为引导,用A=>B=>C的结构说明了因果。起因A: this lack of sleep (can lead to),过渡B: greater consumption of food that are high in fat and sugar,以及后果C: increase in weight。换言之,这里进行的是一个逻辑的分析

对于目标65分的同学而言,这句话也不是很重要,可以无视。

对于目标79分的同学而言,需要记录的是中间的过渡项B: greater consumption of food, fat & sugar

An example of these studies is one that is carried out by Susan Redline. She followed 240 teenagers in the USA and found that those who slept less than 8 hours per night had on average 2.2 percent more fat in their daily food intake.

听到了An example of these,我们基本可以松一口气。在PTE的考试中,所有的例子都不重要。

当听到这些例子的引导词时,我们需要果断地放弃掉这部分的内容,并且把这部分时间放在完善之前的Notes上面。

附PTE RL 内容满分评分要求:5 – Re-tells all points of the presentation and describes characters, aspects and actions, their relationships, the underlying development, implications and conclusions. 注意满分答案的评价标准中没有任何一项提到了Example,因此可以无视。

Soif you want to keep your weight under control, I don’t think you will be staying up too late for your exams now.

最后一句中的So点出了这是一个结论。但是由于句中有if这个词语的存在,暗示了这也是一个解释分析的过程,使得这个句子的重要性大大地降低了。

在这里,我们可以跳过条件的部分,直接记录结论:don’t stay up too late for exams
