Part 1
Lecture 10 Literature:Sea Wolf 海狼
四句shadowing練習
KEY 1
As the story progresses, we can’t help but feel bad for crew members and several major characters on the Ghost. The incredible strength of Wolf Larsen makes him somewhat invincible from the attack of the crew members. Several themes make us feel there should be something happening to reverse the trend, and yes things are starting to change. As a saying goes, no one holds all the cards.
KEY 2
Wolf Larsen cannot always be in the upper hand. Readers expect to see some changes, and everyone has his or her own weaknesses. It’s just a matter of time. The story reaches the climax by revealing Wolf Larsen’s weakness to the reader: the headache…The headache is probably a sign that shows he will not remain the king of the Ghost.

Lecture 5 Marine biology: 海洋生物學,探討甲殼綱、鯨類和鰭足類動物
影子跟讀練習
As you can see from the video, a crab stays pretty vigilant on the shore. All of a sudden, an octopus shows up unannounced dragging the crab, which struggles hard to escape, into the water. This demonstrates octopus’ another victory on land. Octopuses have been known for their high intelligence, remarkable camouflage, and ink. They are the master of the marine creatures. Their inborn talent allows them to inhabit different marine habitats.
Crustaceans and mollusks are on their food list. Preys will be injected with a paralyzing saliva and disjointed with their beaks. Clams and crabs, although equipped with a hard shell, can’t withstand the toxin saliva they secrete. The enzyme of the saliva will dissolve the calcium structure of the shell. Without the protection of the shell, the prey will be consumed in an instant.

記筆記與聽力訊息
Instruction
新托福聽力與其他聽力測驗不同,可以於聽力的紙上記筆記,除了寫試題外,更重要的一點是訓練自己能夠將聽完一段訊息後,將重要的聽力訊息都記到。也可以將自己聽到跟記到的重點訊息跟試題做比對,因為試題考的就是長對話跟講座中出現的重點,能修正自己選取聽力訊息重點的能力。
聽力重點
記筆記有很多方式,包含符號跟自己習慣的縮寫字等等,可以找出最適合自己的模式,一定要自己重聽音檔作練習數次。
這篇是關於海洋生物學,前面段落其實都是鋪陳和引導入題的敘述,蠻容易理解,但要注意生物特性和細節部分的題目,另外就是章魚的特性和天敵,還有其他物種的分類和最後總結的部分。
摘要能力
Instruction
除了閱讀測驗外,其實培養能在聽完一大段訊息後,以口述講述剛才聽到的聽力訊息是學習語言和表達很重要的一件事,讓自己養成具備這樣的能力,除了能在聽力測驗中獲取高分外,也能在新托福寫作跟口說的整合題型上大有斬獲喔!所以快來練習,除了書中提供的參考答案外,自己可以試著重新聽過音檔一遍後,摘要出英文訊息並朗讀出來。
參考答案
Three traits of the octopus package them with the ability to inhabit different marine habitats, taking down preys such as crustaceans and mollusks. Despite these, they have their natural enemies, too. They are vulnerable to the attack of cetaceans, sharks, pinnipeds, sea otters, or sea birds. However, another phenomenal attack of the giant octopus takes down a shark, which leads us to think that size matters when it comes to the attack. We cannot really say about the outcome since things can change in the blink of the eye. Shrimps, crabs, and lobsters belong to the category of the crustaceans. Cetaceans, on the other hand, refer to whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The defense mechanisms have allowed animals to have a high successful survival rate. Octopuses, with the ability to spill ink, is one of the examples, although this will not always work. Aside from the ink cloud, the venom and coloration are also the defense mechanism. Blue-ringed octopuses are the representative, and their toxicity can kill you in a minute.

這篇是關於校園類話題有提到書籍和哈利波特,要掌握推測題型和了解taker, matcher, giver間的關係和教授給的建議。

giver:Harry
matcher:Cedric, value a fair return

Takers can only win something for a very short-term.
“It’s easier to win if everybody wants you to win”.
suggestion
1 write about defining the role of being a taker, a matcher, and a giver through fictional characters in Harry Potter Series.

作者序
新托福聽力作者序
新托福聽力的測驗時間約為一小時,測驗中包含兩段校園場景的對話和四段學術場景的講座。書籍的規劃則包含了三個主要架構:漸進式的影子跟讀練習(包含校園場景和學術講座)、學術講座和校園場景的實戰練習。而其實在官方試題TPO中其實會找到出題的規律,包含常見的服務諮詢和office hour中會討論的問題。在第一部分的影子跟讀中收錄了「獎學金」和「研究中心動物遺失」,後者是改以更趣味式的長篇對話,讓學習者練習影子跟讀練習,在學習上更不枯燥。第二和第三部分的話,除了延續了新托福試題和提供解析外,加入了試題音檔的影子跟讀練習、記筆記練習、聽力填空練習和聽力摘要練習。
「試題音檔的影子跟讀練習」是很必要的練習,因為聽力「專注力」的提升能有效補足僅單靠題海策略和寫題目看答案與解析後分數仍停滯在某分數的問題。另外規劃了「記筆記」練習,主要是新托福聽力能記筆記,實際練習這部分能提升讀者答較細節性的題目。(但考生須注意的是,聽力理解力遠比記筆記更重要,要拿捏這部分。)而「聽力填空練習」則是檢視自己拼字能力、提升聽細節性訊息和口譯能力,也能提升傳統聽力或口譯試題中spot dictation的答題能力。最後是「摘要練習」,是重新聽原音檔後,能寫出一段摘要或完整口述所聽到的訊息,這部分能大幅提升考生在答寫作和口說整合題型的問題、寫作和口譯能力,當中運用到「聽」與「寫」還有「聽」與「說」之間的關聯性。考生可以播放一段原音檔後,摘要給同學或友人聽,也可以播放原音檔後,在紙上寫出這段音檔的摘要。
書籍特色除了納入所提到的學習方法外,在內容上則考量到更生活化,以更貼近生活層面為主的內容。很多時候office hour不見得在詢問課業,反而是跟熟識的老師聊聊其他生活小事,課業問題反而自己去圖書館就搞定了。在校園場景中,包含了聊到兩性問題談論到《Why Men Want Sex and Women Need Love》中four men who went fishing的趣味小故事。另外有考量到大多數考生,在考完且唸完研究所後,其實還是要面臨就業跟未來規劃等的問題,也納入了可能去問老師們關於未來規劃和求職的問題,包含了提到幾本書《Lean In》、《Business Model You》、《Getting There》、《The Achievement Habit》、《Where You Go Is Not Who You Will Be》。在學習上,提到了《Peak》、《Outliers》、《Give and Take》、哈利波特和天龍八部。在協助學生找回自信中提到了《The School of Greatness》、股神巴菲特。
在校園場景中,除了學術話題(例如:共同演化等)外,也融入更生活化題材,包含了與生活息息相關的咖啡和《The Compound Effect》、《The Power of Habit》、年輕世代的面臨的underachievement問題、費爾普斯和《The Power of Moments》,讓讀者在備考外,也有較不一樣的感受。最後其實感謝的是協助審稿和校對的洪婉婷,像個良師益友般,對書籍提供了寶貴的建議,從她身上學習到很多。還要感謝倍斯特出版給予此次出書的機會。最後祝所有讀者都能考取理想成績。

新托福聽力編者序
新托福考試其實在制訂完整的學習規劃後,就能漸進的達到所需要的申請成績。有些考生則過於慌亂,而未能達到與自己本身相對應的成績或是缺乏更正確的引導,使得自己走了更多迂迴的路,才考到理想的成績。這本新托福聽力書納入了更具整合性、更全面的規劃,利用「聽」、「說」、「讀」和「寫」之間的關聯性,由聽力強化新托福中的「口說」和「寫作」整合題型的答題能力。這樣的規劃更能補足「單一」備考和狂寫TPO題目等備考方式所不足的部分,讓考生在最短時間內達到成效。
此外,準備考試僅是人生中一個短暫的過程。其實在求學結束後都會面臨求職和與未來規劃等相關的問題,在考取理想學校後,也可以趁這長段的求學時間思考下自己的未來,最後祝所有考生都能獲取理想成績。
