英語四級考試聽力30天學習筆記
考試結構:Section A:10 short conversations 復習的重點
Section B:最可能考三個段子。其次,有可能考復合式聽寫或聽寫填空。
提高聽力的步驟:
第一步,聽懂考題;
第二步,總結考題規律;
第三步,了解考試本身,做類型題。
短對話題型分類:
Section A考題為六種題型。無論每個考題的具體內容是什么,考題的題型總在重復。我們要培養解類型題的能力。比如在態度方向題中,每個考題的內容肯定不同。但題型高度一致,解題的方向也必然相同。
如:Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有兩種Yes或No。我們要聽的是第二個人的態度方向。這個題問去跳舞嗎?而另外的一個完全不同的考題可能會問去看電影嗎?去音樂會嗎?去野餐嗎?去看比賽嗎?這些不同的考題在我們的耳朵里就應該是同一類考題。我們要聽的是:他在問去還是不去?第二人要回答Yes還是No。而解題點即正確選項一定就在第二人的回答的開頭。

悲慘原則:
第一個人說一件事情,第二個人回答聽不清或一點都沒聽到,一定有麻煩,回答多半是抱怨。
比如:談論買東西肯定買不到,談論訂房肯定訂完了,談論交通肯定擁擠,談論車肯定壞掉,談論考試肯定不及格,談論野餐肯定下雨。
解題思路:
第一類,有關學習的考題基于學生身份去猜題。關于考試:考試難,時間緊,能否延期。作業難做。論文沒做完。選課多。對老師評價:講課boring,老師strict,作業多。She is one in a million. 當老師要退休的時候對老師的評價才會高。
第二類,生活。學生窮poor,要省錢。時時帶著學生證。購物時一定要bargin。雜志不訂應該去圖書館讀,如:A: Maybe I oughtta subscribe to the magazine. B: Why dont you save the money and read it in the library?。在家看比賽沒錢買票。
第三類,學生忙,當話題中既包含學習又包含娛樂時體現學生忙,一定選擇學習方面。
