與第五道題目類似,IBT口語第六道題目的出題模式是listening–speaking。聽力的內(nèi)容一般是關(guān)于學術(shù)方面內(nèi)容的節(jié)選,所涉及的范圍比較廣泛,可能是社科,物理,人類學等,聽力材料的長度大概為1~2分鐘??忌诼牶驼f的時候沒有任何的背景知識可以參考,這個就是難點啊。?

通常情況下,教授會給出一個概念的定義,例如, the coin , natural selection 等,或者一個事件的梗概,或者介紹一種現(xiàn)象來開始,之后會就自己前面提出的概念,故事或者現(xiàn)象展開論述。在后面這個部分中,一些例子會被引進來證實和說明前面所提到的定義。說的部分會要求考生概括聽力部分的主要內(nèi)容并聽力部分的觀點和事例進行詳細論證,典型問法為: Using points and examples from the talk, explain XX(某種現(xiàn)象或定義)presented by the professor.

通過對這道題目和考試類型的簡單分析,我們可以知道做這類題目的關(guān)鍵就是考試前的大量訓練,考試中的認真聽和靈活做筆記。那么,究竟如何來聽這個部分的內(nèi)容,以及如何來做筆記呢?下面通過一個句子的例子來做以說明,?

Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.?

Narrator: The professor describes the children’s psychology between eight years old and a half to ten years old, including the analysis of the differences between motherly love and fatherly love. Summarize the main points in the professor’s lecture.

解析:通過聽這個題目簡介,考生可以得聽力的主要內(nèi)容是關(guān)于八歲半到十歲小孩的心理,這個內(nèi)容是基于母愛和父愛差異而進行分析的。呵呵,聽力的重點內(nèi)容得到了,內(nèi)容的主要人物:八歲半到十歲小孩和他們的父母。繼續(xù)聽。。。。。。。?

Today I’d like to talk about the love between child and parents.(這個開篇句子點名整個文章的主題:love between child and parents)?

For most children before the age from eight and a half to ten, the problem is almost exclusively that of being loved-of being loved for what one is. The child up to this age does not yet love: he responds gratefully and joyfully to being loved. At this point of the child’s development a new factor enters into the picture: that of producing love by one’s own activity. For the first time,. The child thinks of giving something to the maturing of love. Eventually the child may now be an adolescent and has overcome his egocentricity; the other person is not any more primarily a means to the satisfaction of his own needs. The needs of the other person are as important as his own –in fact, they have become more important. To give has become more satisfactory and more joyous than to receive. To love has become more important even than being loved.

In order to understand this shift from mother to father, we must consider the essential difference in quality between motherly and fatherly love. We have already spoken about motherly love. Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the new-born infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation.?

The relationship to father is quite different. Mother is the home we come from. She is nature, soil, the ocean; But while father does not represent the natural world, he represents the other pole of pole of human existence. He represents the world of thought, of law and the order, of discipline, and of travel and adventure. Father is the one who teaches the child, who shows him the road into the world. Closely related to this function is one which is connected with socioeconomic development. When private property came into existence, and when private property could be inherited by one of the sons, father began to look for that son to whom he could leave his property. Naturally , that was the one whom father thought best fitted to become his successor, the son who was most like him and consequently whom he likes the most .?

分析:?

確定主題之后,我們來分析文章各個段落的筆記記錄要點:?

第一段:八歲半到十歲的孩子對待愛的轉(zhuǎn)變,先是接受之后是奉獻自己的愛。此外,他們認為奉獻比得到愛更能讓他們感到滿足和高興。?

第二段:主要記錄句子為:Essential difference in quality between motherly and fatherly love,Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional。其他的信息點可以記錄也可以用心記。?

第三段:主要記錄的句子為:Father does not represent any such natural home, he has little connection with the child in the first years of its life, and his importance for the child in this period can not be compared with that of mother. He represents the world of thought, of law and the order, of discipline, and of travel and adventure. 當然考試的時候考生不可能記錄的這么完美。考生只要能把主要意思記錄,例如,“natural home, thought, law和order, discipline, travel and adventure”等寫下來就好了。?

以上分析就是文章每個部分的記錄要點,我們來看看例文是怎么寫的:?

When a child reaches the age of around eight to ten, for the first time in his life the idea of love is changed from being loved into loving. As he grows into an adolescent eventually, he has overcome his egocentricity. For him now, to give has become more satisfactory and more joyous than to receive, to love has become more important even than being loved. There are essential differences in quality between motherly love and fatherly love. Motherly love is by nature unconditional. Mother loves a child not because the child has met any specific condition, or has lived up to any specific expectation. But the relationship to father is quite different .Father doesn’t represent the natural world. He represents the world of thought, law and order, of discipline, and of travel and adventure.?

解析:先概括文章大意:When a child reaches the age of around eight to ten, for the first time in his life the idea of love is changed from being loved into loving. 之后用細節(jié)來支持自己的這個論點具體這里就不贅述了。復述的內(nèi)容基本上和原聽力材料一樣。?

總上所述,我們不難看出這類題目其實不像考生想象的那么難??忌枰龅氖虑榫褪钦J真,聽的時候注意總結(jié)性的語句和轉(zhuǎn)折詞之后的句子,抓住主要內(nèi)容做筆記,之后就是用流利而又邏輯性的語言的把記錄的內(nèi)容復述出來,采取總-分的說話模式。?
