托福綜合寫(xiě)作的限時(shí)閱讀方法

托福綜合寫(xiě)作要求限時(shí)閱讀，3分鐘時(shí)間內(nèi)閱讀一篇230-300詞的短文，對(duì)于英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)一般的學(xué)生來(lái)講，這無(wú)疑是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，很難在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)讀完并理解文章，同時(shí)總結(jié)出要點(diǎn)。閱讀任務(wù)無(wú)法完成毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)增加了聽(tīng)力的難度，因此如何快速有效的讀懂文章是寫(xiě)好綜合的必要條件，今天山西新通外語(yǔ)李老師就來(lái)講講閱讀的方法。

我們先來(lái)看首段閱讀的要點(diǎn)，通常情況下文章的第一段由三個(gè)要素組成，背景句，話題，以及作者觀點(diǎn)。找到這三個(gè)信息第一段的閱讀也就完成了。下面看一個(gè)例子。

In the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay in order to do so. A mandatory policy requiring companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths (80 percent) of their normal pay would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who decided to take the option. (TPO 1)

In the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. --- 交代背景

However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay in order to do so. A mandatory policy requiring companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths (80 percent) of their normal pay...... ----話題引出，however是關(guān)鍵詞。

A mandatory policy .... would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who decided to take the option. --- 作者觀點(diǎn)，從benefit可以看出，作者是支持這個(gè)政策的，同時(shí)本文會(huì)從三個(gè)方面論證作者的態(tài)度，economy, individual companies, employees.

從這個(gè)例題可以看出，首段內(nèi)容了解后，文章的脈絡(luò)也就清晰了。
