破25的說寫文法句構關鍵-SK2進階文法Liyi
#要達到學校要求的特定分數
#如何從24提升28+
#本週進階文法免費Calendly諮詢時段
大家好,我是正在籌備7/26進階文法內化課、
也是衝刺班口說顧問的Li-Yi(TOEFL IBT119)
。最近有幾位聽力已經近乎完美的同學會跑來找我。
他們的學校口說和寫作要求一定要超過25,但他怎麼練都上不去,
想看是否還還能提升一些文法用字、句構,來再加一點分數。
於是我跟他們要了一些音檔和作文,看到一些可以改善的高級問題。
今天先分享2個整合類口說、寫作的常見問題、以及怎麼練習的方式
1.避免擠牙膏式、比較繞的主題句
改成比較直接、就算沒有聽讀過原始素材的人也能理解的句子
以下我幫一個約24-25分程度的同學稍微修改,
大家可以比較一下改過的版本的直觀性,可以到28-30
範例一: 一個24分程度的同學寫的:Secondly, the passage suggests that the carvedsto
ne balls might have been used as part of a primitive system of weights and
measures.
Yet, the speaker strongly contradicts the theory because the masses
of the stone malls vary widely. To elaborate, they used different types of
stones to create the carved stone balls, and different types of stones have
different density. Hence, even if the balls were the same size, they still have
different weights. Apparently, the carved stone balls were not used as weighing
or measuring tools.
可能要看到最後才會猜到同學的意思:
閱讀講雕刻石球可能是砝碼,但講者認為這些球的重量太不一致,
所以不太可能是砝碼
更直觀的版本會是這樣:
Secondly, the passage suggests that the carved stone balls
might have been a part of a primitive system of weights and measurememnt.
Yet, the speaker is against the theory because the mass of the stone balls vary
too widely for them to be ideal weights in such a measuring system. To
elaborate, the carved balls were made with stones of different density, meaning
that balls of the same size do not weigh the same.
範例二: 同學的版本: Last but not least, the reading indicates that the burning
mirror is not an improvement on a weapon that the Greeks already had. Once
again, the scholar opposes the evidence revealed in the reading passage. To be
more specific, she contends that Romans were familiar with the usage of flying
arrows, and therefore could see the flying arrows ahead and prepare for it.
However, with a burning mirror, the Romans could only see a mirror and would
not react to it until the ships caught fire. Apparently, a burning mirror would
create a much more surprising attack on the Romans.
可能要看到最後才會大概猜到同學的意思:
閱讀說:火鏡並沒有優於希臘人已有的武器系統(燃燒飛箭)。
但講者認為羅馬人已經太熟悉燃燒飛箭、非常會抵禦這樣的攻擊。但他們看到火鏡,會覺得
只是一面鏡子、而沒有看到上面的射線已經對準自己的船,因此會船會在他們不知不覺下起
火燃燒。
更直觀的呈現會是這樣: Last but not least, the reading indicates that the
burning mirror is not an improvement over the flaming arrows, an effective
weapon that the Greeks already had. That is, the author suggests that the
Greeks had no reason to build a burning mirror. Once again, the scholar
disagrees, arguing that Roman soldiers were too familiar with the Greek flaming
arrows; they could predict where the arrows would go and put the fire out
easily. On the other hand, when the Greeks used a burning mirror, the Romans
could only see the mirror but not its burning rays. Therefore, the rays would
set the targeted Roman ships on fire all of a sudden, creating a surprise attack
#怎麼練習:
你可以比對同一份TPO的高分作答和低分做答、
以及顧問范文,把低分作答的主題句改得更直觀
我在<進階文法內化課>,我也會做出多套"完美顧問筆記"以及"完美顧問作文/音檔",寫出
我的標準版本,供同學做對照也會特別做出主題句不明顯的數個版本。
透過不斷修改主題句,把直觀性內化到習慣中。
2.注意模板句應用的條件
例如: 寫作中,有些同學會固定整合寫作模板的文法:
The reading states that XXXX might have been true...
However, the lecturer disagress...
但卻沒注意到這樣的模板句,XXX只能是假設過去發生的事情,而不是假設現在的。
例如以下同學的版本: Both the reading article and the lecture discuss ways to
reverse the trend that is threatening the lake's health. The article provides
three possible solutions. However, the lecturer disagrees and presents three
refutations......
First of all, the passage mentions the direct removal of salt might have been a
suitable option. However, the scholar severely challenges the theory by arguing
that it could cause serious problems.
但"the direct removal of salt"是講在討論現今可能降低湖中鹽分的可能做法之一,
而不是過去曾用過的做法。所以不能用might have
正確: 把might have been改成might be
#怎麼練習
先觀察顧問範文中,模板句使用的情境/時態,準備幾種版本的模板句,比對顧問怎麼把他
的筆記用出來,再修正自己的用法
=========================
若你也寫作口說因為學校要求需要突破特定分數,
必須要在文法句構上提升,歡迎你來參加我的<進階文法內化課>
我會透過課前分析幫你聽說讀寫的文法句構弱點分析一遍,
課中補充文法知識,也在課後給你指定的內化菜單!
