新TOEFL聽力重點及答題技巧 Part 2

上一篇講到托福聽力主要是考三種聽力技巧: A.基本訊息理解能力(Basic comprehension: main ideas and supporting details)，B.語用理解能力(Pragmatic understanding: function questions and stance questions)，C.信息關聯能力(Connecting questions: organization questions and content questions)。這次會跟各位分享TOEFL聽力語用理解題和關聯信息題。

B. 語用理解題包括功能題(Function questions)和立場題(Stance questions)。TOEFL聽力考試裡的功能題主要是測試考生對於說話目的的理解。例如:道歉、建議、批評等等。托福裡的立場題是考驗考生對於說話者態度的理解。以下為各位列出TOEFL聽力常出現的題目:
- What does the woman mean when she says: “It might not be a bad idea to get together and compare our lecture notes before the exam”?
- What’s the student’s attitude toward the people he currently works with?
- What does the professor mean when he says: “At least that’s what the newspapers reported”?

托福聽力裡的關聯信息題包括組織關係題(Organization questions)和內在關係題(Content questions)。這主要是測試TOEFL考生對整個對話內容的理解能力，包括總結和利用已知的訊息來做推測。例如:
-    How does the student organize his ideas when he discusses with his classmate?
-    What will the professor probably talk about with the student next?

以上為各位托福考生統整了3種主要的TOEFL聽力技巧。要考高分其實不難，畢竟考試的主要目的是希望能分辨出考生的英文程度及邏輯思考能力，因此只要了解托福題目的出題方向和解題技巧，相信很快就能達到你的夢想目標的喔!
