Integrated Tasks: It's a challenge for our Chinese students ,yet not so difficult as you may imagine(小仙).
Task 3, 校园话题,阅读15秒,听,准备30秒,陈述60秒
1,阅读与听力重要性之比--2:8读的时候,一定记下标题,第一句话,概要的关键词。细节不必注意,肯定不会考的,阅读材料只是提供一个背景,如果要考在听力里一定会复述的!
2,听的时候,分条做笔记,一定要有条理!
3,准备的时候,先想好第一句话,第一句话顺了,你自己也有信心了,然后把语言组织一下,不确定的语言结构就想都不要想了,紧张起来肯定舌头打结。首先是要流畅,即使你都是AM IS ARE,也比你被个复杂句型卡在那里好,流畅最关键!
4,说的时候,从容一点,强调实词,连词,特别是阅读中的关键词。
答案结构: 问题(一般来自阅读材料的第一句)
观点激烈者的观点
他持的理由1,2,3
Task 4, 学术讲座,阅读15秒,听,准备30秒,陈述60秒
1,阅读与听力重要性之比--4:6,这个阅读材料比上一个就重要多了,第一句话倒不是那么重要,重要的是记下术语,定义,要点,比如那个讲真菌的,就要几下真菌有哪几条习性啊!
按条记的时候,每条下面多留些位置,因为等会的听力笔记一定会在相应的位置补充进来,不这样做的话,你就白看了。因为学术内容短时记忆很难记住的,但是确实标准答案所必须的!(详见DELTA,阅读和听力的整合)
2,看清题目要求,你不一定能预测到它要你说什么哦,因为听完才有题目哦!不要想当然!
例如,一道题的要求是:事件,因果。
Explain what happens during a boycott, and explain the causes and effects of the boycotts discussed in the lecture.
另一道题目的要求是:概念,应用。
Explain the concept of role conflict, and explain when and why a person experiences role conflict.
3,说你听懂的,而不是你听到的。因为从理论上讲,即使你的短时记忆效率是100%,你也不可能做好,因为听力60-90秒+阅读的内容,你一定超时!!所以,小仙的心得是,缩减,精简,不要舍不得丢掉一些支持的细节,说要点,细节是点缀!
4,高级要求,换词!小仙这个比较弱,比如听力中说:
Some parents cannot go to college because there is not enough space at the children care center.
=
说的时候
The lack of space in children care center prevents the parents from going to college.
这样不但精简了字数,而且显示出你的词汇和语法水平。同志们,一起努力啊!
Task 6, 学术话题,听,准备20秒,说60秒。
连一向自负的小仙都不得不承认,THIS IS A BIG CHALLENGE!
短时记忆好的GGMM们就占优势了,不过如果说话舌头打结那就白有这么好的记忆力了,小仙就是啊,555。
关键:
记下要点,术语,
细节和例子有所选择,记不完全没关系。
关键是要点,有条例的笔记!

Task 3 & 4-OG sample P231
Campus Conversation:
The uni. plans to eliminate the bus service becuz it's too expensive to run and few stu.use it. The man disagrees with the plan cuz he believes the reason few stu. take the bus is that the routes goes to neighborhoods where stu. do not live. If the routes were changed, many more stu. would ride the bus.
The man disagrees with the way the uni. plans to use the $ it saves on bus service. Building more parking lots on campus will encourage more stu. to drive on campus. This would increase noise and traffic on campus.
Academic listening:
The principle of audience effects suggests that when people are aware of being observed, their behaviors changes. Specially, in the two studies described, people work faster when they were aware of being watched. In one study, two groups were told to put on shoes that tied. One group was told it would be observed and the other was not. The group that knew it was being observed tied shoes much faster than the other group. In learning to type , those being observed typed faster, but they also make more mistakes than those not aware of being observed.
Task 5 & 6-OG sample p232
Paired Choice:
The problem that the stu. faces is a conflict betw. an earlier commitment to help with a museum exhibition setup and a more recent opportunity to go on a field trip led by one of her professors. Two solutions are presented: one is that she could ask Dr. Clark about finding a replacement to help with setting up the exhibition. As an alternative, she could also try to finish the setting up before the field trip which starts later in the week.
I think the stu. should take Option2 to finish the setting up before leaving for the trip cuz she should honor the commitment she made to Dr. Clark and keep the chance to the field trip as well.
Academic listening:
Under the broad definition, money is anything that can be used as payment , for e.g., coins, bills, and barter. If you take a taxi ride, you could use vegetables as payment for that ride. Under a narrower definition, money is anything that must be accepted as payment. In the U.S., coins and bills are legal tender. A taxi driver must accept them as payment for the ride. Vegetables and credit cards are not legal tender in the U.S., so the taxi driver do not have to accept them as payments.
