大家都知道,我们中国人其实在英语的听说读写四个环节上最薄弱的就是输出的两个能力:说和写;而最强的就是输入的两个能力:读和听。而如果我们想在出国的道路上成为佼佼者,那么在保持传统强项的同时是否应该特别加强一下我们的口语和写作能力呢?
而根据我考TSE(TEST OF SPOKEN ENGLISH)的经验,其实口语考试分数的高低(注意这里仅仅是指考试分数)几乎完全取决于你到底背了多少段落。因为口语的TOPIC是覆盖面非常广泛的:教育、文化、历史、生物、科技、艺术等等,所以这就从客观上决定了考生必须背大量的段落,而实际上背的过程中也就是把不涉及过于具体内容的话背下来,到考试的时候再把听到或看到题目要求的具体内容往里面加。一定要注意是从背具体的段落到提炼抽象的魔板最后再回到具体的段落:
·具体 ·抽象 ·具体
下面,将再用GMAT的作文填空法来帮大家强化“魔板”的方法以及填空的概念。
GMAT中作文也分为两个部分:“一休”和“阿狗”。那么这两个部分也是同等重要,而且一个难以短期突破,一个只能短期突破,所以“魔板”的作用就在这里显示出来了。“阿狗”由于是驳论文,不需要发表考生自己的观点,只需要考生指出段落的逻辑错误即可,那么专门用来写驳论文的反驳式段落就显得非常重要,而我们大家都没有学过如何去写驳论文,所以可以说不背“魔板”基本就不可能及格。而背“魔板”也分高手和水手,所以有以下三重境界:
·知道如何提炼“魔板” ·知道需要将提炼的“魔板”排列组合成自己的考试“魔板” ·知道怎么往“魔板”里正确、恰当地填空
只有达到这三重境界的全部才可能获得满分。下面将以几个例子来巩固“魔板”的提炼方法以及重点介绍如何填空,而排列组合由于非常简单而且因人而异,这里就不再介绍。
1. 开头段
In this argument, the arguer concludes that sending the mechanics of GAA to a two-week QCS on proper maintenance procedures will automatically lead to improved maintenance and to 美国GREater customer satisfaction along with 美国GREater profits for the airline. To support the conclusion, the arguer points out that the performance of the maintenance crews in the automobile racing industry improved markedly after their crews had attended the seminar. In addition, the arguer reasons that since the maintenance crews of the automobile racing industry and the mechanics of GAA perform many of the same functions, the airlines will gain similar benefits from the training program. This argument suffers from several critical fallacies.
In this argument, the arguer recommends that C should advise its citizens to install both air conditioners and fans for cooling in order to reduce the cost of electricity. To justify this claim, the arguer provides the evidence that many citizens of C suffer from the rising costs of electricity. In addition, he cites the result of a recent study that using fans alone costs more than using air conditioners alone, and that using both fans and air conditioners costs less than either using fans or air conditioners alone. A careful examination of this argument would reveal how groundless the conclusion is.英语作文
