15:33:28 Dacker I don't think so. As I am still learning in school in summer, further more, I am sure that any colleges in US needs Chinese students with both the skills of a traditonal Chinese student- good score on the study and skills of an American guy- that is ability like leadership etc.

我打算从六个方面来谈, 想先说一下能力与考试之间的关系,听、说、读、写四个方面的我的一点小见解,最后一点就是有关JJ的问题( \, h" b) S$ Z) |$ @: O
第一个就是我刚才说过,太傻论坛上缺少一些对托福考试准备的系统性概念,不管是太傻还是新东方,他们都是把托福分开来看,托福从PBT到CBT到现在的IBT,一直希望把四种技巧联系在一起,所以如果我们还是把它们拆开来看,我们准备的效果一定会越来越减弱,其实ETS也是想减弱技巧类对托福考试的影响
" g2 I& z. Y; ~8 H/ a
, \9 m, Z$ o5 T6 V0 j第一个就是说能力与托福之间的关系。太傻上的争论是托福考试的目的是能力还是考试,我认为托福考试对我的确有很大的帮助,确实提升了好多能力,把实力转换成分数才是最重要的,把成绩在短时间内提升很多是不可能的,所以做好扎实的基础是最重要的,比如说听力,你的听抄能到什么水平? 外交部的培养方式是每天早晨三个小时,听抄voa、bbc,所以托福考试也一定要点点滴滴踏踏实实的做起,包括词汇量,每次背完单词后再去看paper, textbook、magazine确实是很有帮助,还有, 无论是看《prison break》还是看《friend》都不是学习英语的好办法,最好的办法是TTC的The Teaching Company还有就是discovery,geography也很不错,学会在听完TTC后用口语来summarize professor’s points,所以一定要选准学术性的材料,这相当重要!5 ^5 T) Z1 i7 @& j, {+ i' r
! q. e6 ]. ?) W- g+ L$ K- I
写作--我觉得写essay 和paper最重要
! R0 O3 u" W D6 l' a所以我觉得提高实力最重要,然后学习技巧,学习技巧的目的是把你的实力百分之百的展示出来
2 O7 O% |; F% G6 D8 z$ P- Z. Q1 Q, _! a6 t* P& f
下面从听、说、读、写四个方面来谈:& |4 w& R. N; \& |0 x8 k' p0 e* C
听力:
2 }; L6 |0 \+ y( E q; I1 S0 \" C要挖掘出自己的听力天赋,第一重要是听抄,听抄是一切的基础,因为听抄会把精力集中起来, 以达到最好的训练效果。
2 h' `3 y0 b5 J, h$ A准备听力最好的书是:3 X% j' e/ X& G6 D8 d
1、《the teaching company》在emule上面可以down,这本书最好的就是教授讲课质量极棒,我深深的理解,什么叫做the professor who teach extremely-well,这些教授非常棒9 u# D+ S' G( w: x8 C
2、Longman的蓝书,这本书的选材非常广泛,阶梯性难度,反复听抄这本书。这本书最大的弱点是pattern不好,所以可以通过学习Delta和Barron’s来补充。" i' s7 E9 |0 O2 I% P
/ ?/ _) E# u$ f% i0 }; \2 q3 @
口语:% i! V2 ~6 q) _4 R
这部分中国的学习拿分很低,口语部分需要注意几点,首先美国最看重的是逻辑,而不是语言,句子不宜过长,但是结构要稍复杂一些,多用detail和example,其实口语考试中读的部分只是对一些概念的分析解释,不需要做笔记,听抄的过程也就是提高做笔记能力的过程。9 ?- i# I6 ? x
口语可以用机经来练。
6 A0 q' l' P/ f0 I; B, w7 E! ?2 \, x8 \( z8 Q; h5 a
阅读:
/ _" |" w. O* u最重要的是背单词,个人认为最重要的是读textbook,很多人认为应该读magazine和newspaper,个人认为商业味太浓而无法做到学术化,所以不适合作为学习用资料。Textbook主要是读高中教材,推荐几本教材:美国高中很流行的历史教材《enduring vision》,psychology, English literature, social science+ ~5 b( C- Z- M# g
此部分单词是核心,然后重要的是语感。多练多做模考题
3 E& D1 w& f* a# C" {' }泰德的阅读教材Pattern 很不好,但选材和难度都值得一做" V* \/ X0 s# E& t: H7 s3 @3 I
\ j, r" [" s' q. Z写作:
- A5 ?2 ]5 M2 }) M北美生存之本,此部分还是强调逻辑。
4 S7 J, h( m8 K% _1 L9 Y/ e写作部分推荐的教材是新东方许轶老师写的《挑战托福满分》,这本书最大的特点就是提供了30篇范文,把中国学生普通熟悉的4.5分提高到了5分的文章拿出来修改6分的文章。
4 Q R2 h9 V$ R写作也要用到真题来复习4 o, `% e* f. F
! W" P, R, j' C% T6 G5 c如何看待机经:# X4 K+ e+ t* L/ k5 @% l' [
大家一定要摆脱机经,但是要整理好加试机经,要善于利用机经3 b# u' |; j3 i T$ s- c* @5 q 7 k' d0 L$ d: [5 f
# D7 R- B% e- ^. x: A访后感:' B) z; |9 R! \8 s& F引用:和Dacker的访谈持续了近二个小时,非常愉快~Dacker在托福复习方面有着独特观点和想法!非常感谢Dacker的参与! J! W4 S4 Q2 J7 q. g; M3 a3 x' g# F* v! W: U
