雅思听力场景解析之学术主题讨论(二)

信息来源:网络  发布时间:2015-09-07

  学术讨论场景是雅思听力考试中的高频场景,几乎每次考试都会出现,尤其是在section3和section4中。备考这一场景,大家首先需要了解考试的特点以及考点,才能够有针对性的制定备考策略。下面为大家分享的是雅思听力场景解析之学术主题讨论的内容,希望对烤鸭们的雅思听力备考有帮助。

  关键词汇:Lecture, tutorial, seminar, presentation etc.

  在很多西方教学理念中,培养学生独立学习的意识和能力是最重要的理念之一,这种理念渗透到了学校教学的方方面面。学校鼓励学生主动学习,而不是被动听课和死记硬背。要求学生独立地进行研究,收集和分析自己或团队获取的数据,勇于提出问题,勇于向老师和同学进行符合逻辑性的争辩。

  课堂上,教师除讲解外,更多的是给予学生启迪,让学生思考和发表观点。有什么疑问,学生课后可以直接去找老师预约时间见面。此外,教师还会要求学生安排相当时间在图书馆或实验室做自我研究工作,鼓励学生主动地进行学习和科研,从而激发学生的创新意识。

  以上的种种均是去往西方海外留学必将经历的。因此,在考试中,考生经常能听到学生和学生之间或老师和学生之间的讨论,有对学习方法的讨论,也有对某一学术主题展开讨论。

  而一般来讲,这些讨论会以lecture/report, tutorial、seminar、presentation等形式展开。

  考点二、Tutorial

  Tutorial指小班授课,一般是在导师的指导下,学生就某个学术主题展开讨论或者研究探讨学习策略、论文或者对别人的文章进行评论。也可能是对导师Lecture中涉及的某些知识内容或者案例进行讨论。

  【典型范例】:

  Complete the tables below.

  Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.

  【范例原文】: TUTOR: Hello, Sandy. How have you been getting on with your dissertation?

  SANDY: Fine, and I’ve been working hard on the various action points we agreed on our last tutorial.

  TUTOR: Do you want to talk me through what you’ve done?

  SANDY: Yeah, sure. Well, we agreed on three main targets for me to aim for. The first one was to find out about suitable data analysis software.

  TUTOR: Yes.

  SANDY: And what I decided to do was to look through catalogues specializing in IT.

  TUTOR: That’s a good idea. What did you come up with?

  SANDY: I found the names of two promising ones.

  TUTOR: Right.

  SANDY: But I also thought it’d be worthwhile talking to a lecturer.

  TUTOR: Oh right. Who did you see?

  SANDY: Jane Prince. Do you know her? She’s in the Computer Centre.

  TUTOR: Yes, of course, she’s the new Head.

  (………………………………………………………….)

  TUTOR: So, let’s look at some new targets. We’ll start by having a chat about your Chapter One. I very much enjoyed reading it. Your written style is very clear and you’ve included lots of interesting descriptions of education in your target area. I’ve just got a couple of suggestions for some additional work.

  SANDY: Of course. Could I just ask – what do you think I should call it?

  TUTOR: Well, I’d go for something like Context Review.

  What do you think?

  SANDY: Well, short and to the point.

  TUTOR: Exactly. Now, as regards specific areas to work on, I’d be quite interested to have a few more statistics about the schools in the different zones.

  SANDY: Oh, that wouldn’t be a problem. I can get them from the Internet.

  TUTOR: Great, and although you did make a reference to quite a few different writers, I think you should aim to cite more works written later than 2000.

  SANDY: OK. That’s more difficult, but I can try. When do you want that done by?

  TUTOR: Oh, it’s not urgent. Um I should aim for the end of term. But in meantime, I think you should also be thinking about Chapter Two.

  【范例分析】:范例是以tutorial形式,发生在学生和辅导老师之间。讨论的内容主要集中在论文的数据分析、软件使用、参考数目及章节题目的设定。提醒考生,海外留学时,绝大部分的大学里,每一个学生都会有个人辅导老师,在学习或生活中的任何问题都可以寻求辅导老师的帮助。比如论文的写作方式、结构、材料的收集方法等等,均可以事先与导师交流,并征求导师的意见。

  【范例答案】:

  1. Catalogues

  2. Computer Centre

  3. Review

  4. School

  5.(the year) 2000

  6. end of term

  以上就是雅思听力场景解析之学术主题讨论的内容,希望对大家的雅思备考有帮助。最后,预祝大家在雅思考试中取得满意的成绩
