首先要关注综合写作本身的设计理念,综合写作先有一个三分钟的阅读,然后是两分钟左右的听力,最后是一篇20分钟的写作。有别于
托福综合写作满分要求是:
A response at this level successfullyselects the important information from the lecture and coherently andaccurately presents this information in relation to the relevant informationpresented in the reading. The response is well organized and occasionallanguage errors that are present do not result in inaccurate or imprecisepresentation of content or connections。
从上面我们可以看出来,综合写作对语言其实没有特别严苛的要求,而更多的是提取阅读和听力的重要信息以及展示听力和阅读的关系。
我们知道综合写作的阅读结构很简单,即使里面涉及到一些单词可能有些学生不懂,比如生物学科,但是这完全不影响我们看懂文章的结构。所以阅读通常不是影响我们综合写作分数的关键,事实上听力才是考察的重点。如果你的听力不错,把听力写得很清楚的同学一定可以得高分,可是如果听力不行那么我们应该怎么做?在这里主要给大家介绍两点,帮助学生在听力听不太懂的情况下拿一个超过自己实力的分数。
1.考生能否在快速阅读的基础上,对听力做出正确的预测。我们都知道阅读和听力话题一致,而且目前真题中阅读和听力的关系都是反驳关系,所以记好阅读的笔记,根据两者的关系可以帮助我们更快锁定听力的内容,做到有准备的去听,这也是很多学生
阅读读完后总结的结论和三个点分别是:
Main point: 塞恩加尔骑士的回忆录不够精确
- Sub point 1:回忆录声称自己很有钱,但是事实上他借朋友钱。
- Sub point 2:回忆录上对于他跟伏尔泰交谈记录得过于详细,不合常理。
- Sub point 3:他声称自己在威尼斯越狱,但实际上他是政界朋友帮忙行贿才获得自由的。
阅读笔记容易出现两种极端:1. 有些学生觉得浪费时间,所以不记笔记。2. 有些学生觉得要记清楚,所以可能出现记整个句子导致对顶时间内读不完。这两点都不可取,学生可以根据自己的笔记习惯去记录,不用太细,但一定要要去记录结论和三个点分别是什么。
记完阅读,就是运用阅读为听力做准备的时间了。什么意思呢?以这篇为例,我们就要明白听力要专门去听以下几点:
Main point: 听力的结论与阅读相反,那肯定就是塞恩加尔骑士的回忆录真实了。
- Sub point 1: 他很有钱,那借钱时怎么回事呢?
- Sub point 2: 他的回忆录到底怎么记得这么清楚的?
- Sub point 3: 他肯定是从屋顶跑的,那有证据吗?对于他有权的朋友怎么解释呢?
当我们知道要去听什么的时候,我们的听力效果一定是事半功倍的,大家可以试试看,是不是能很快捕捉到下面的听力重点:
听力重要内容:
Main point: the Chevalier’s memoir is,by a large,a reliable historical source.
Sub point one: it usually took a few days to convert his assets into actualmoney. So when he ran out of cash, he had to borrow some while he was waitingfor his money to arrive, but that’s not being poor.
Sub point two: each night immediately afterconversing with Voltaire, he wrote down everything he could remember about thatparticular night’s conversation and kept his notes of these conversations formany years. Witnesses confirmed that he regularly consulted notes and journalswhen composing the memoir.
Sub point three: Other prisoners in thatprison had even more powerful friends than he did, and none of them were everable to bribe their way to freedom. old Venetian government documents. Theyindicate that soon after the Chevalier escaped from the prison, the ceiling ofhis old prison room had to be repaired.
2.注意信号词
这些词后出现的东西一定是我们重点需要注意去听的时候,所以在听的过程中一定要仔细。
a.转折与对比 however, on thecontrary, nevertheless, rather than…, by contrast on the other hand
b.强调 remember that..., a major development isthat…, the basic concept here is …, the basic concept here is …, the importantidea is…
c.例证 for example, as anexample, that is, to give a specific example
d.提出观点 in addition,furthermore, in the same manner, another reason is…
e.发表意见 according to,personally, in my opinion
f.下结论 all in all, in conclusion, consequently,finally, therefore
当阅读和听力都记录了之后,我们就可以进行写作了,这里一定要提醒大家做个转述,尤其是阅读,不要去抄原文。大家一定要记住,实战才是锻炼能力的最好方式,所以还是希望大家多做全套的综合写作习题,TPO有三十多套,就是很不错的选择。
