From the perspective of the college entrance examination question type, the choice after listening is the question type that the candidate is familiar with, this article will not be repeated, and the following focuses on four question types such as recording after listening, paraphrasing after listening, reading short texts and answering questions after reading.
Record after listening
1. Question process: 1 minute to browse the form → short text to play 2 times → 90 seconds keyboard input answer (1 word per empty).
2. Examination ability: grasp the details of the information and spell the words correctly.
3. Preparation strategy: After hearing the pronunciation of words, do not rush to write answers, judge and test the correctness of the written words according to the context semantics and logical relationships, and avoid the phenomenon of "listening to the right sound, writing the wrong words"; pay special attention to the implementation of listening to high-frequency words, in 2021, the computer-based test is no longer the traditional week, month, number and other simple words of the record, turn to such as different, effort, encourage, challenge and other spelling more complex words, Therefore, it is important to accumulate high-frequency listening vocabulary such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives; pay attention to the case and singular and plural numbers of words. In addition, when listening to the recording twice, not only focus on 4 words, but also pay attention to the content of the whole text, clarify the text organization and shorthand keywords on scratch paper, and lay a solid foundation for relaying after listening.
Paraphrase after listening
1. Question process: Listen to the 3rd short essay → 2 minutes to prepare → 2 minutes to record.
2. Examination ability: According to the text content and table information, the ability to relay the main points is complete, the content is enriched, and the meaning is conveyed.
3. Preparation strategy: Make full use of the 3 times to listen to the recording and prepare time to construct the logic of the oral expression and improve the notes; because it is paraphrased and the beginning of the paraphrase has been given, it is necessary to pay attention to the conversion of the person, such as Hello, I am Sam Smith in the recording. As everyone knows, reading thick books can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are ways to handle it. The content of the listening text is Sam Smith's strategy for telling the audience how to read a thick book, so the person used in the listening text is you. But the paraphrase begins with "Sam Smith introduced some ways to read thick books. According to the pronoun we..." According to the personal prompt we, candidates should have a sense of substitution when paraphrasing, regard themselves as a member of the audience, and at this time need to perform a personal transformation, changing the second person you into a first-person we (us). Candidates are not required to paraphrase all content information, nor do they have to use the original words in the text. The answer should be complete and the content should be complete; the language is clear and fluent, and the coherence is strong; a certain limit of change is allowed, the correction is effective immediately after the mistake is read, and the correction is invalid after one or two sentences; the synonym is allowed to change, and the synonymous expression does not affect the score, but it is recommended not to exceed the outline (the words required by the 2017 version of the new curriculum standard).
Read aloud in short texts
1. Question process: 1 minute preparation time to browse the short text and 3 questions→ 90 seconds to complete the reading recording (the problem disappears).
2. Examination ability: use correct voice and intonation to read the given materials accurately, fluently and completely.
3. Preparation Strategies: Reading aloud tests the basic skills of English accuracy, fluency and completeness. Completeness refers to the reading of the entire text content, completeness and fluency must be based on "respect for the original content", and content unrelated to the original text is not scored. In addition, during training, candidates should develop the habit of reading aloud when seeing the text, pay attention to the accurate pronunciation of words, repetition, continuous reading, intentional group pauses, rhythm, etc., and use some English learning software to follow and imitate to strengthen accuracy. In the examination room, candidates should read all the text content aloud, read fluently, have a strong sense of rhythm, basically no repetition and self-correction, appropriate pauses in the meaning group, and clear and accurate speech and intonation.
Read and answer
1. Question process: Each question is 15 seconds to browse the preparation time (screen display questions) → complete the answer recording within 30 seconds.
2. Examination ability: text and discourse comprehension, accurate access to information and accurate language expression ability.
3. Preparation strategies: The 1-minute preparation time for the first section of the short essay is crucial, to quickly browse the short text and find the answers to the three questions, recorded on scratch paper; answered with accurate voice intonation and complete sentences without grammatical errors; do not record content that is not related to the answer, such as Thank you, that's all.
Finally, in addition to listening and speaking practice in class, candidates also need to often go to the school computer room or download and install the English listening and speaking computer test online experience test system to practice to enhance their practical adaptability.
