让大家能够对托福口语中的校园生活场景有进一步的认识。

阅读要点对于阅读,主要想从两个方面来谈论,即:阅读中的笔记应该重点记什么,以及答题要点。
下面主要以TPO中的话题来给大家进行分析。
1. 笔记重点以下,主要按照文章发展给大家介绍我们笔记中所要记的重点。
首先,我们要做的是快速根据导语确认话题形式—announcement还是letter from student。
大家可以用简单的大写字母A和L各表示通知和学生信件。
阅读文章出现后,首先要关注的是Title,很多情况下我们能够从题目中读出文章的主旨何在。
如:TPO 2 — elimination of bus serviceTPO 3 — hot breakfast eliminatedTPO 7 — sculpture course will be discontinuedTPO 23 — no more international news当然也会有情况我们不理解题目或者想更多的了解话题的主旨,大家可以扫读阅读中的第一和第二句话,通常我们能从中得到有关话题的更具体的信息。
1)以下话题中,我们很难根据题目去进行话题主旨了解。
前两句话给了我们足够的具体信息去了解话题主旨。
Campus Dining Club AnnouncedStarting this year, the university dining hall will be transformed into the Campus Dining Club for one week at the end of each semester. During the last week of each semester, the dining hall w ill feature special meals prepared by the university’s culinary arts students. (TPO5)通过红色字体,我们可以很快得出,The announcement is about to transform the university dining hall into the campus dining club.2)很多同学其实可以从题目去了解话题的主旨,学校要铺跑道。
University Should Pave Running TrailsThe university has about three miles of unpaved dirt running trails that pass through the forest near campus. I think these trails should be paved with cement. (TPO15)铺什么,怎么铺这些我们都不得而知,从开始的第二个句子中,大家就可以很好的了解,学校是想铺水泥跑道。
The running trails in the university will be paced with cement.其次,大家需要找出的是校园通知或者是学生信件的缘由,为什么要出这样的通知或者写信给学校,一定存在一定的理由。
通常在Task 3 中有2个理由。
很多时候,我们可以通过英文表达中的逻辑词汇找到这两个点的topic sentence。
University Should Allow Eating in ClassCurrently, there is a university-wide policy that prohibits eating in the classroom. I disagree with this policy. I think students should be allowed to eat in class. This change would be good for two reasons. For one thing, students were permitted to eat, they would be able to concentrate better, because students often get hungry during long classes, and hunger makes it difficult to concentrate. Also, if food were allowed in classrooms, it would be possible for us to have in-class parties on the last day of class—with snack foods and beverages—to celebrate the end of each semester. (TPO 14)通过扫读逻辑词汇,大家很快就能找到此次信件的理由:Reason 1: It enables students to have better concentration in the class.Reason 2: It is possible for students to have an in-class party at the end of the semester.会有这样一种情况,学校会引用某些教授或者领导的原话去表达。
看到文章中大量的引号,那理由必定会出现在领导话语中,大家不妨从这方面入手找找。
Fee Increase for Recreation Center UseThe university administration today announced a $25 increase in the student fee for using the campus recreation center. The higher fee, which all students are required to pay, will provide funds to upgrade the facility and provide newer, more modern exercise equipment at the center. “We expect the improvements to increasestud ent use of the facility,” explained David Smith, director of the student activities office. Mr. Smith also noted that the decision was approved because “We feel that $25 is a reasonable increase that will be affordable for individual students.” (TPO 19)开始两个句子讲明主题后,我们发现后面大量引号,那大家就不要看引号之外去记录说话人的姓名或者其它信息了,主要去理解并且记录话语信息。
Reason 1: It is assumed that students will use the improved facility more frequently. Reason 2: It is reasonable to charge an extra $25 by the students, and they can afford it.2. 阅读答题要点阅读文章的答题要点也就是要求大家能够整合以上两个笔记过程,即主旨和2个理由。
