第一个窍门是简化笔记。很多同学在记笔记的时候不仅喜欢全拼单词,甚至还喜欢照抄原句,目前市面上的很多“全套满分笔记”,更是助长了这种错误的做法。事实上真正好的笔记,是只有自己才看得懂的!比如我们要记:
“The man in the conversation doesn't support the idea because he believes that it will make students unwilling to talk to their teachers.”
可以直接记X, unwill talk——X代表不同意,unwilling不用全拼,节省时间,而学生和老师讲话,只需要记talk就可以了,因为学生和老师在这个语境下属于不可能忘记的信息。
第二个窍门是训练自己裸记。这个办法顾名思义,就是在没有任何笔记的情况之下直接强记。如何能够做到这点呢?先来给大家举个例子。一般来说一个人的手机号我们是很难记住的对吧,为什么呢?因为没有必要去记!但是当你发现如果不快速记下这个手机号,你新认识的男神或者女神可能从此消失在人海时,你的记忆力就突然变得很好!这里面有个秘诀,大家可能都忽略了那就是重复!在我们找到记录工具之前,不断地重复那串数字,就能防止遗忘,而且加深记忆。因此我们在听听力时有意识地寻找重点信息(综合口语都很有规律,多刷题也是为锻炼“信息提取”,而不是把所有听懂的都记下和说出来),并在听力放完的准备时间内快速地跟自己重复(最好是默念),效果往往更好。当然这个方法需要反复大量练习,所以我们应该庆幸有那么多TPO和真题可以给我们提供机会,但很遗憾的是不少人在刷题的时候完全不练习“准备时间里该做的事”,而是focus在一遍遍看阅读和听力的原文,也不屑于对同一个题目进行反复操练,难免考试一限时就反应不及、质量欠佳。
最后给大家送来一道Task 2的考场真题:
Reading:
Students Center Cafeteria Too Crowded
I am writing this letter to express my feeling about the Student Center Cafeteria. Ever since enrollment here increased, the cafeteria has become too crowded. This is a tremendous problem during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as there are simply no enough places for students to sit and eat their meals. In addition, since the library does not have enough room, many students use the cafeteria as a place to study. Unfortunately, there are not enough spaces for the students to sit at. I strongly urge the school administration to renovate the student center and enlarge the cafeteria.
Listening:
Question:
The woman expresses her opinion about the points made in the passage. State her opinion and explain why she holds that opinion.
这道题目也算是记笔记效率不高就会information overload的类型,大家可以体会一下看看自己是否能够准确地做出信息提取(记少量而有效的笔记)并在规定时间内一次成型地说出较高质量的答案。 |
