先聽後說題

答題技巧• 第三題︰屬「正反觀點」考題。多半是美國校園

問題，聽力篇中對話者常對閱讀內容做出同意或反對的回應。重點在概要說明 (summarize) 說話者的觀點與理由為何。

• 第四題︰閱讀篇多半陳述某學術領域較抽象的理論或概念。聽力篇有兩種可能，一是補充前者內容，提供具體實例或引申閱讀篇的觀點；二是反對閱讀篇裡的觀點，並提出反證。答題時要把閱讀篇和聽力篇之間的關聯說清楚。

答題技巧• 第五題：屬「 problem-solving 」考題。聽

力篇介紹某一位學生的問題與兩個可能的解決方法。答題時要你說出哪一個解決方法比較好，並說出理由。

• 第六題：屬「 theory-example 」考題。聽力篇介紹一學術概念並提供具體例子。答題時必須能概要說明 (summarize) 課堂演講重點並說明演說者提供了什麼例子佐證。

• 最重要的是 你到底要說什麼， 而不是要怎麼說

寫作整合題 先讀聽後寫題

•先看一個例子

• (1) According to the lecture, the professor gives some opinions about a tidal power that differ from the reading passage. Most details in the passage focus on advantages of the tidal power on energy generation while the lecture states the opposite. The professor mentions some disadvantages of this kind of power that cast doubts on the reading passage.

Introduction

• (2) First, the passage shows that the tidal power can provide a renewable energy generation that could be a useful energy supplement in the future. By contrast, the professors says that this amount of energy is small and can supply only a particular region, not for a large area. Therefore, it will not be practical as an important alternative energy source.

• (3) Another point that the professor casts doubts on the tidal power is its environmental drawbacks. Although the passage support the tidal power because of its non-polluting quality, she states that a dam or estuary change the water flow. Fishes cannot migrate across the dam and many animals, including birds, lose their habitats and foods.

• (4) Furthermore, the lecture states that humans also receive the bad points of the tidal power’s energy generation not only in the environment aspects, but also the economic problem. This is because their fishing work cannot navigate across the estuary.

• (5) In conclusion, the professor argues some reasons that show many disadvantages of the tidal power. These reasons cast doubts on the reading passage whether this power really give us a benefit or not. 

Conclusion

• 再看一個網路上的模板

• The speaker in the lecture principally argues that xxx, which contradict the main point in the reading, thus refuting the reading passage totally. In order to substantiate his view as well as to argue against the reading passage, the speaker later reexamines the supporting details in the reading passage and forwards alternative explanations.

Introduction

• In terms of aaa, the speaker argues that xxx, challenging the notion in the reading that xxx.

• Referring to bbb, the speaker, belives that xxx. In contrast, the reading passage.

• Finally, the speaker raises the issue ccc, which was simply noted as xxx in the reading.

• To sum up, based on thorough analysis of the whole situation ( the nature of the reasons in the reading), the speaker disagrees with the reading passage completely.

答題技巧• 與口語測驗的第四題雷同。• 閱讀篇多半陳述某學術領域較抽象的理論

或概念。• 聽力篇有兩種可能，一是補充前者內容，

提供具體實例或引申閱讀篇的觀點；二是反對閱讀篇裡的觀點，並提出反證。答題時要把閱讀篇和聽力篇之間的關聯說清楚。

答題技巧• 練習邊聽邊做筆記，尤其是要辨別文章論

點和具體實例之間的區別和關聯。• 注意文章的連詞 (however, therefore, first,

finally 等 ) 與結構，用詞比考口語時更正式一點。

• 閱讀與聽力兩個文本間的關係要說清楚。聽力篇必須提供較多細節。
