In the writing section, you have... in Task 1, you have to compare a reading section with a listening section.
在写作部分,你们要......第一题,你们要把一个阅读材料和一段听力材料做一个对比。
And then, you have to write an answer comparing the two.
然后,你们要写出一篇短文来比较这两个部分。
So if you don't take notes during the listening component of the Task 1, it's very difficult to write your answer. Okay?
所以如果你们在第一题的听力部分不做笔记的话,要写下答案非常困难。
So the note-taking skills -- very important throughout the TOEFL test.
所以做笔记技巧在整场托福考试中都很重要。
So first of all, before we look at how to do it, let's look at what you need to concentrate on as you're listening. Okay?
在学习如何做笔记之前,我们先来看看听的过程中你们需要关注些什么。
Now, another thing to remember before I even start: this takes practice.
在我开始之前你们还要记住:这需要多加练习。
This is a skill that you have to sharpen, that you have to practice with every day before you go to take your tests. Okay.
这是一个你们在参加考试之前必须不断磨砺、每天练习的技巧。
Now, the first mistake people make is they think... they try to write down every word they hear.
人们会犯的第一个错误是,他们会试着把听到的每个单词都写下来。
Impossible, Okay? Unless you're a stenographer, that's a person who works in court and writes down every word that the people in the courtroom are saying,
这是不可能的,知道吗?除非你们是速记员,也就是在法院工作的人,他们负责写下法庭上的人,
lawyers, judges, defendants, etc., witnesses, you cannot write every word, don't try.
比如律师、法官、被告、证人等等说的每一个字,你们没办法把每个单词都写下来的,不要白费力气了。
You don't need to write every word, you need to concentrate on the details that are important, on the information that is important.
你们不需要写下每个单词,只要专心记下重要的细节、重要的信息就可以了。
Now, what you need to focus on are the big, general ideas.
你们需要关注的是大体的概念。
You need to understand generally what is being spoken about, what is the topic, what is the subject, for example, is it science? Is it history? Is it arts?
你们需要大致了解材料中讲了什么,话题是什么,主题是什么,比如是科学、历史还是艺术?
You need to understand general ideas because they're not going to ask you very, very specific questions, right?
你们要理解大体概念,因为他们不会问你们非常非常具体的问题。
And if they do, they're going to give you some information, they're going to give you something to listen to again, or they're going to give you a very specific word.
即便问了,他们也会给你们一些信息,会给你们一些东西再听一遍,或者告诉你们一个非常明确的单词。
So, details. Do you need to concentrate on every little detail? No.
那么,细节,每一个小细节你们都要关注吗?不用。
You'll be writing all the time, not listening.
那样你们就一直都在写了,根本没时间好好听。
Stick to the big ideas, but -- okay, sorry, having said that, technical words -- if they give you some scientific word or some technological word, do you need to know it? No.
紧抓大概念,不过......不好意思,这一点已经说过了,那我们来讲术语吧,如果材料中出现了一些科学词汇或者一些术语,你们要懂它们的意思吗?不用。
They will give it to you in the question.
他们会把这些词放在问题里的。
You will see it in the question, and you'll remember, "Oh, yeah. This is the technical word."
你们会在题目里看见它,然后想起来:“哦,对,就是这个术语。”
There will be technical words that even native English speakers have no idea how to write or what they mean or what they are, you don't need to either.
有些术语甚至连母语是英语的人都不知道怎么写,或者不知道它们是什么意思,你们也不用知道。
What you need to listen to is the explanation of what the technical word refers to or means because the word itself, they will give you in the questions.
你们要听的是对这个术语意思的解释,因为这个词本身会在题目里给出来的。
