托福聽力不像是多益考試,多益的聽力是邊聽邊寫答案,然而托福是需要先聽完聽力內容,才會看得到題目的,所以此時聽力有多種方式來解題
- 自然聽自然解,不記筆記,兵來將擋,這種比較屬於有比較高程度的人士用
- 把聽力當上課,按老師的語氣,及舉例自行做重點
- 抓關鍵字,作筆記,看到題目後比對筆記
是的我是走第三種方法的,因為只要動一下筆就可以把一些重點記錄下來,那幹嗎要花腦力去硬記呢 ? 我是覺得腦容量有限,要硬記下來的畫很浪費精力的,而且無限量用紙在旁邊供考生使用,我上次考試,四個部分測試下來用了11張A4黃紙,所以不用怕,取之不盡之不竭,跟呂傑老師的水肥車一樣
聽力音檔,文本像是考X分,或是托福X站都有提供,這裡就略過了,直接解釋note-taking的方式
下列有些關鍵字是要練到變成反射動作,不然很難去注意到筆記的重點
如下列,然後我會轉成筆記的信號字
So today → !!※
but→ ※(星星)
because→ b/c,用數學代號也行,自己習慣的符號
So→So
imply/ infer→ (→)
place / location → 區
大,多→ +
小,少→ -
I mean → ! P! (出現這個字必考無疑,而且很容易miss沒聽到,一恍神就過去了,到時候回來找筆記很容易找不到)
如果是學生說的話→ ! S!
challenge/ contradict 這類反對的字眼 → 反
difficult / hard → hrd
feature / characteristic / mark.. → F
另一個→+2,如果有第三以上→+3,+4.....(這種條列式的也超愛考)
method / view / point / theory → T
mistery / puzzle → ??
different → =/= (等號中間一撇)
same / associate → =
problem等負面字→ (哭臉)
great/ good 等正面字→(笑臉)
example / like / for instance→ ex. (li) 我是習慣用(li) ,因為比畫少,(俗話說的好,不考舉例對不起自己~~必考的拉)
專有名詞一定縮寫並加上圈圈,盡量字越寫越少越好
- 然後如何記筆記,當我拿到紙我會把它變成六個部分,因為lecture的題目都出六題,分成六塊會比較好找,一般除了第一題的涵蓋範圍可能會到我筆記的第二區去,還有最後一題如果是重聽題的話會亂跳,2/3/4/5題是百分之百按順序考,雖然有時候筆記的紀錄還是會離開我預設的區域,有時候還沒有紀這麼多,但相對來講是比較容易定位的,而且考試的時候A4指無限拿,你就盡量用
- 但是如果聽力跟不上就不要記太多了,怕在記的同時會不知道教授在講沙小,跟不上就以聽為主,但是一旦聽到訊號字,一定要做個記號,以便再找題目答案的時候可以定位
接下來舉例TPO-33 L4 的聽力做解釋
然後是一段記筆記的過程,在做題目的解釋
1.What does the professor mainly discuss?
-
A . The most popular features of ancient Roman gardens
-
B . The goals of Renaissance garden designers
-
C . The influence of Renaissance gardens on modern Italian gardens
-
D . Differences between ancient Greek gardens and ancient Roman gardens
一直在說花園不是種菜的,是精緻的而且社會地位的展現,所以(A)
2.The professor mentions three authors from ancient Rome. What point does the professor make about the three authors?
-
A . They provided credible descriptions of ancient Roman gardens.
-
B . They probably exaggerated the beauty of ancient Roman gardens.
-
C . They probably never owned gardens themselves.
-
D . They invented gardening practices that are still used in Italy today.
定位詞就是three authors→我的筆記上是 S/ P /L ,所以看下面的內容rely,所以就是(A)中credible的改寫
3.Why does the professor mention Hero of Alexandria?
-
A . To explain the relationship between ancient Greek gardens and ancient Roman gardens
-
B . To explain how ancient Roman gardens came to be influenced by Egyptian culture
-
C . To point out that garden designers were highly respected members of Roman society
-
D . To indicate the origin of some of the features of Renaissance gardens
問到why,就是往上看了,因為外國人思維都是線性思維為主(先講因為在講所以,正所謂先因後果),尤其是這類語言考試,更不會背離這種原則
所以往上有看到influence的縮寫,所以有影響就是找origin,(D)
4.According to the professor, what was one goal of the designers of Renaissance gardens?
-
A . To incorporate plants from as many parts of the world as possible
-
B . To develop beautiful new breeds of plants
-
C . To provide amusement for guests
-
D . To create a peaceful setting for prayer and meditation
兩個找法,法醫:one goal就是目的的意思了,所以快速定位到→目,後面寫imp人,就是impress guests
法二:最關鍵的就是According to the professor,會對到筆記!P!,這個真的很重要!!!每次必考,之後寫一個fun,對應到選項amusement,所以(C)
-
A . They were not part of ancient Roman gardens.
-
B . They were not common in Renaissance gardens.
-
C . They often incorporated hidden water tricks.
-
D . They were the most creative aspect of Renaissance gardens.
筆記定位到mase,我的筆記是寫→only
, R畫圈圈是文藝復興的意思,R沒有圈圈才是羅馬,後面又有很多XXX,所以文藝復興就跟著做了

第一題答案是B :)
謝謝指導~~不過我覺得還是A 才對,因為 有種菜,有地位,表示特徵 然後剛開始我設計師都沒聽到,所以(B)反而是我最快排除的,再說文章到最後還是再講特徵(迷宮)
