① 概念定义,用自己的话说明某个概念,技巧:看到诸如 “this is known as”, “this is referred to as”, “this is called”, “people call this”, “people refer to this as”等类似表达的时候 , 此表达的前边一句话 , 很可能便是阅读中概念的定义句 .
② 例子
③ 说明这个例子和概念的关系,这也是很多同学4题只能拿到Fair的原因,因为少了这句话。
注意事项:
① 概念只需要一句话就可以, 用时保证在10-15s
② 例子只需要summary便可以,不用引用过多细节。适当加入小细节可以展示获取信息能力,但是矫枉过正就得不偿失了
③ 一定要简单概括这个例子和概念的关系
④ 如果听力部分的例子中出现专有名词(如植物名和动物名), 可以用诸如 a kind of plant和 a kind of bird之类的短语表达 , 不会说专有名词不会造成扣分
⑤ 想要口语高分一定要用自己的话来总结概念和例子,同时说出例子和概念的关系。
以下面这道题为例
你会听到以下听力内容:
从 This is what is known as perceptual constancy.我们知道前面一句话就是 Perceptual constancy的定义, even as conditions change and we see objects differently, we still recognize that they remain the same
1)The first example shows that the shape of the plate changes, but because of the concept of perceptual constancy, we don’t think we have two plates
2) The second example shows that although the professor seems to have different sizes in the two situations, again, because of perceptual constancy, we know he’s the same person.
