實力TSE教程

上了實力的tse班,和上了新東方的哥們比較了一下
覺得還是實力的課比較好,而新東方的材料(也就是那本書)比較好。

下面是我整理過的tse課堂筆記,有一些圖沒辦法貼上來,如果有人需要word版,

實力tse教程

tse的準備:


knowledge 和vocabulary在tse考試中並不是最重要的,關鍵是:
(1) stimulus;
例:what is the secret of happiness?
答:if you really want to know, to tell you the truth, just a bottle of
beer. …
(2) time:同樣的問題,面對不一樣的答題時間,答法不一樣。
(3) 回答的出發點一定是題目,先從題目中找限定性的詞,然後從限定詞出發。
注意:遇到準備過的題目,不要答得太過流利,保持一致性。

tse評分標準:
effective communication
1、language task and function. 最重要的是function
(1) 人稱:you
(2) 要有step:first,second,…
(3) 結尾適當加一兩句話,不要太生硬。
2、coherence and use of cohesive devices. (cohesive devices:表示連貫性的
詞)
(1) 要有controling point:
recommendation:one reason and detail information about it.
3、appropriateness of response to audience or situation.
將自己置於相應的場景。
4、linguistic accuracy:前後不要有contradiction。
更改自己話語中的錯誤:turn left, oh, i mean turn right


tse題型:
1、 opening questions(每次考試都一樣,熱身用,不計分):
(1)what is the id number on the cover of your test book?
(2)what is the weather like today?
(3)what’s your plan after taking the test?

2、 map(兩種:map of the town & floor map):
(1)direction:在準備時,用筆在圖上畫出starting point and destination。
指路都用第二人稱,動詞原型。
① opening:
◆ when you leave the bus station, you are on … street.
◆ repeat the question.
② follow:
◆ follow ___ street 直走
◆ go along (go up, go down)
◆ go along ___ street, you will pass ___ on your left/right.
◆ go along the street for ten minutes ( some while )
③ turn:
◆ turn left
◆ turn right
◆ turn into(another street)
◆ turn left after the bank(過了銀行轉彎)
◆ turn left when at the bank(在銀行轉彎)
④ 表示位置關係的介詞
⑤ closing:
◆ surly you will find it.
◆ you won’t miss it.
⑥ 補充技巧:
◆ now i take you this place, you can ask again.(在時間所剩不多,或實在無法表
達的時候)
◆ after two blocks. (走過兩個街區)
◆ 美語的十字路口:intersection(not crossroad)

(2)recommend
關鍵:說出unique的東西(recommend的中心),然後深入說明一下理由。
變通:universal 的 unique的東西:architecture、service(服務行業)。
opening: ①… is among the biggest … of the country.
②i strongly recommend …
③i know you are really crazy about …
注意:① 看題注意看完,避免recommend的東西和後面重複。
② 有的題“which facility would you like to add to the town?”
可以加hospital、swimming pool,比較容易開頭。
題型:① 30’’題:考quick thinking — quick response
◆ any location
◆ assigned location
◆ add one facility
◆ something
例:what would you buy for your mother?
universal的回答:to tell you the truth, i really don’t know what to buy…
oh, that’s a good question, my mother’s birthday is coming
◆ 變題:discourage
universal的回答:it’s too risky. last time i went there, i was suffered…
since time is limited, this place isn’t worth your visiting.
② 45’’題:
例:你在餐廳向朋友推薦另一家餐廳。(關鍵:你已經在一家餐廳了)
jimmy, do you know that we came to a wrong place? …
③ 60’’題:
例題:把湖水抽乾,建停車場,你的意見怎么樣?(改地圖上地點)
yes…
no = recommend lake
因為有60’’,所以opening從肯定對方觀點開始:
i realize that we need a parking lot, but…

(3)compare:similarity & difference
例:live on campus(a) or off campus(b)?
① prefer a to b.
(advantages) (disadvantages)
② depends: (想到兩方面優點,並且想到區分標準的時候——depends的就是區分標準)
③ that’s really a good question, 然後列舉兩方面優點. according to (sb.)
…, according to (sb.)… (想到兩方面有點,但不明確區分標準的時候)

(4) 題目加一個東西,問是否贊成(類似change one location)
① blessing(i agree):有了理由之後要有details。
② curse(i disagree):
③ depends
注意:先從題目出發尋找有用信息。

(5) describe(樣題第三題):此類題型一旦出現,必在第一部分。
① movie:
universal的東西: ◆ name:real(popular)/ invented
◆ star/director:tom hanks stars in the movie.
◆ oscar:
◆ background
◆ plot:brief story 不要超過兩句話
◆ box:this movie set the record of box.
◆ feeling: remind me of …, i can’t help crying.
注意:如果沒有knowledge,可以加design。
例:從brake dancing —> dance
同理:favorite tv program:movie guide
favorite newspaper: … movie
favorite magazine: … movie
② book:◆ name
◆ author
◆ nobel(海明威)
◆ best seller:list of new york times
③ cd/tape:◆ name
◆ singer/composure
◆ grammy
◆ bill board(排行榜):stay in bill board for several weeks.
④ piece of art:◆ name
◆ producer
◆ value
⑤ dish:salad:dressing

3、 6 pictures:(60’’準備時間——用來準備故事)
(1) story(60’’):可嘗試在每一幅圖邊列出關鍵單詞。
注意:◆ 講故事用過去式。(可參考新概念英語第二冊)
◆ 一旦某個關鍵單詞不知如何表達,看下面的題,6 pictures一般出3-4題,大多相關。
① opening:◆ when:one day…
◆ where:it took place in …
it happened in …
◆ who:第一人稱或第三人稱,根據情況取捨(有時用第一人稱較易表達)。第三人稱一般
用人名,或者一個用職務,一個用人名。
◆ what happened
② transition:逾越picture與picture之間的gap。
③ closing:如果時間不夠:to cut long story short …
使回答完整。

(2) persuade(45’’—樣題6):
兩個角度:① candy (attract)
② whip (threaten)
注意:根據不同的場景要有相應的語句。

打電話時:① is that …? i need your help.
② you know, …(此處內容可照題目念)
③ i realize that …
④ however, i need a special favor because …(unique)
⑤ so, (offer 條件)
⑥ ending: i really appreciate …
(restatement—重新明確自己要乾什麼)

在商店勸別人買帽子:
① 打招呼;
② if i were you, i would …
(說價錢低不要用cheap,用doing promotion)
……

向別人作解釋時:
① can i speak to …
② this is …i’m calling and i do remember that …(此處內容參照題目)
③ however, something happened.
……

you are in the mud:
① i don’t mean to do something …, it’s not my fault.
② justify what you have done.

complain(45’’)—— persuade的替換題型:
例:(真題)when you wanted to move items, you asked the moving company to
do so. but one staff broke one of the items. so you call the company to
complain.
① 可採取比較的方法,充分利用45’’。
例:i have go to your restaurant several times, but this time …
② 對服務不滿意可以從感謝對方開始。
例:i’m a custom of your company. thank you very much for helping me
moving the items last week. but …
注意:回答此類問題的是要注意題目中的關鍵字,要提到完成相信功能所需的信息。

(3) quick response(不是每次都有)
例:樣題5
人稱用the printer,容易有語法錯誤(would have done),所以用if i were the
printer, i would have …
注意:回答此類題時要特別注意人稱和時態。

例:為什麼不能餵鴨子?
for the shake of …:為…著想。

當一時想不起理由時,先說… for many reasons。然後for example。

(4) 類似topic(60’’)——真題時多出現在第一部分
例:樣題7
方法:① 一一列舉advantages & disadvantages;
② i prefer a to b.(說a的advantages,也就是b的disadvantages)
③ sometimes … and sometimes just the opposite.
例:(真題)旅行時,記日記和take photos, which do you prefer?

4、 topic 60’’——無準備時間
真題:共三類
(1)something personal:
例:if you could personal improve(關鍵) one thing(限制1)about your
personal appearance(限制2), what would it be?
improve:something make you suffer.

改題:personal appearance to personality
universal的personality:open minded / considerating / easy going / honest /
responsible

例:what do you think is the most important discovery in the world?
in my opinion, the most important discovery of the world is my gf.
注意拓寬回答的思路,但儘量說和專業有關的東西。
without something, you can not …

例:describe a terrible day / happy experience / dilemma

例:name something you do regularly and you dislike.

例:what will you do if you only have twenty-four hours to live?
i will pass the day as usual. in the morning, i will …

小結:① 此類題似乎是personal的,但回答時則從什麼比較容易go to detail考慮。
② 即使較易表達的題目,儘量使用example代替陳述——tse要求有效性。

(2) comments:
① saying:一種teaching or warning。
例:what do you think about an old saying ‘a friend in need is a friend
indeed’
方法:對於saying,最容易的方法是i agree/support + 例子。
注意:面對不能理解或不好說的問題(saying)時,在第一時間告訴對方不知道,然後try。
to tell you the truth, it’s my first time to come across the saying.
anyway, i would have a try.
② statement:
例:(真題)vegetarian diets lead to happier and longer life.
agree的方式:◆ 解釋:vegetarian diets can +(knowledge)
◆ example:my grandmother celebrate her 100 year birthday because…
(內容稍更換就可駁斥這一觀點)
◆ statistics + source:as far as i know…
◆ 同saying的處理方法
◆ 在已有觀點的基礎上建立一個新的觀點:
there is no relationship between … and … in my point of view…
注意:內容由角度(expert / by stander / involved)決定。
(3) solution:
例:is solar energy a feasible solution to energy crisis?

5、 definition(60’’)
例:樣題9
關鍵:用最快的速度,最簡潔的語言先下定義。(how to do it efficiently)
(1)term/instrument:
例:chalk:① a kind(set)of …(classification)
② something you can write with(更有效)
例:big:a kind of comparison

go to detail的方式:① describe:需要unique的東西,有時不易(如apple)。
② association:比較特殊的聯繫, apple is a brand of computer…
③ compare

例:(真題)choose a term of debate / lead to innovation / pioneering

注意:選題與限制無關,因為是從應試者角度出發,所以此題可在考前準備。

方法:① 選abbreviation / compound:
例:wto, w refers to … t stand for …
② structure
③ background information
④ example(compare)

例:(真題)instrument:可以是device / means

(2)major:
① 範圍不要太大,這樣可延長時間:biochemistry is a field of chemistry.
② 把給major下定義改為介紹major的course。
③ lead to what kind of job.
(4) accomplishment / achievement:
universal的accomplishment:paper

6、 charts:無準備時間——可預先準備
describe(60’’)——只需描述,不需解釋,interpret(45’’)
(1)curve:可提前準備(三種情況——growth 、zero/ no growth、decline /
negative growth)
growth/increase/rise/jump no growth drop/decline/fall/decrease
rapid/sharp/quick growth steady/moderate/slight/slow growth

describe:

方法:分段>趨勢>detail
① opening:
◆ repeat/change:利用introductory sentence/title做general presentation
例:the graph shows the growth of the world population. and the growth take
place in cities in 1950~2010.
注意:如有“單位”,在第一句中交待,後面不再說單位。in the unit of (tons)
2010年:two thousand ten / twenty ten
◆ the vertical line indicates the … in the unit of …, the horizontal
line indicates … in the unit of …

② in detail:describe curve 採用分解法,分解growth/no growth/negative
growth,用一般現在時。
◆ there be:不用說主語
◆ the percentage of population living in cities …:有主語,注意時態,第一句
要儘量完整。
from (year) to (year), the growth of … can be observed from the curve…
建議使用第一種和第三種的綜合:
from(year)to(year), there was a growth in the percentage of population
living in cities from … to …

真題一般都是同趨勢

③ closing:
◆ just what i say about the chart
◆ hope i can give you a clear presentation, thank you.
◆ that’s my description, thank you.

④ projected line:
◆ in addition(by the way),the rising tendency will continue …
◆ … is projected to be …

⑤ 有很多曲折的curve:
例:the changes of dow jones industry …(教材p9-f)
因為curve就是up & down,所以:you know there’s many many up and downs, the
bottom(peak)arrived at…(year) with …(number)/reach …(number)in …
(year)
⑥ 兩條線:
◆ 如果兩條線之間沒有關係:可只說一條線,不談另一條線。
◆ 如果兩條線之間有關係:重點放在相關點上。… while …/ in one hand, in the
other hand。



interpret:(樣題10)
① opening:
◆ many factors contribute to the chart …
◆ the information of the chart would tend to suggest that …
② detail:需要加一定的knowledge。
談到tendency/trend時,有兩種方法:
◆ target:how to realize/avoid it.
◆ benefits:實現target之後的好處。

關於態度問題:
例:by the year 2050, the world oil supply will dry up.
◆ 70%(probably):i won’t be surprised if … so something must be done
to prevent this. we have to look for new sources of energy.
i expect that …
◆ 50%:i hope that …
◆ 30%:i suspect that…
i doubt that …
it’s probably not that …
there’s a chance that …
◆ 0%:i’m afraid that there’s no chance that …

(2)pie:核心是share distribution。
① opening:the pie/chart shows the distribution of …(題目)
② in detail:
◆ 逐步省略,第一句最全:a takes 20% of the total …, b takes 30%, c50%.
take/cover/possess
◆ 20% of the total … goes to a,30% to b,50% to c.

注意:pie的組成一般5個以上,在說的時候先排隊(從小到大或從大到小),同時可以縮小
範圍:a and b take 10% each(individually/respectively)
可以同時交待大小和數值:asian population takes the largest share with 5%。

③ 無數字的pie:關鍵是share的大小
c takes the largest(dominant/leading)share.
a takes the least share.

④ 兩個pie(真題)

增加一個share:in addition, …, a new component will start to take a share
with …
減少一個share:by the way, the … will no longer take shares in …

(3)bar:核心是compare
注意柱狀curve和bar的區別.
考試時最多出現過4個bar,分兩組=兩個pie
解釋bar時,最好用the first bar on the left …

方法:
① 按curve做,說一個,另一個just the opposite
② comparison:… always take the leading position, the only exception was
in …
例:

一個一個解說。

(4)tree:
例:the component of a family:

① a can be divided into b&e.(用情態動詞避免單複數問題)
② a can be divided into two categories, mainly b&e. (稍複雜)
③ then b can be divided further into …
④ then b can be subdivided into …
⑤ 再細分時:h&i are example for c
⑥ c&d are contributing to b.
⑦ c&d are components to b.


(5)table:(不需描述,回答問題)
例:(真題)比較british english和american english的區別:

british english american english
vocabulary flat apartment
spelling colour color
pronunciation can’t /a/ can’t / /

opening:british english and american english are different in three
aspects.

例:什麼城市的weather和buffalo最象,why?
city weather temperature
atlanta clear 76/47
boston rain 49/33
buffalo rain 51/41
chicago cloudy 65/41
detroit cloudy 53/44
new york rain 50/42

相對的:relatively

7、 presentation:準備60’’,說90’’
時間分配:80%關於trip,20%關於announcement
準備內容:讀,注意難念的詞(人名、地名——不必過於追求精確)

(1)opening:
① attention please
② greeting:hello everyone, …
③ address audience(unique):dear …,as being + 自己職務 + 題目(i’d like
to talk
about)…
時間的表達:先說小時,再說分鐘。
例:8:30:eight thirty

“*”號注釋內容的處理:可以在文中,也可在最後,用“do not forget”

(2)closing:
① thank you for your attention/support …
② if you have any question, please feel free to contact me. (如有電話,號碼
重複兩遍)
③ have a good time. (祝願性的話)

(3)changes:
① date:april 5 — april 12
◆ the date of trip would be changed from … to …
◆ the trip would be arranged on … instead of …
◆ april 12, not the date printed as previous informed(儘量不要提及被修改的
內容)
◆ april 12, remember april 12 …
註:出發:depart

② venue(集合地點):we move to …

③ cost:… charges more/less … the total amount is …

內容組織:
① 先不單獨提醒被修改的內容,再最後i hope you notice that there’s four
changes including …再蜻蜓點水(例:p59)
② 先說changes,再介紹整個日程安排。(例:p57)
優勢:可以根據時間的多少增減內容。
如果時間不夠:if you have any doubts, please referred to the schedule i sent
you last time.
註:此部分的準備可以參照講義:p55~p60



tse基本應試技巧:
1、opening:儘量以最快最直接的方式告訴聽眾核心。
例:topic:it’s foolish to give money to beggars.
(1)開門見山:i can not agree you more. you know(+細分觀點). it’s
foolish to give money to beggars, especially teenagers…
(2)設問:have you ever give money to beggars. if ‘yes’, in what
situation, if ‘no’, in what situation?
(3)假設:that’s imagine, if everybody give money to the beggar, what
will happen?
(4)下定義:well,let’s first make a definition, what does beggar mean?
beggar is someone who need help.
(5)開頭引用數據:well, according to a recent poll by …
(6)引用:according to a sociologist, …

(9)重複問題,層層遞進:the topic leads to serious debates among people.
(10)羅列:as a matter of fact there are various beggars, such as
disables, street artists … it would be difficult to decide which people …
(11)i saw people sometime give money to beggars. they seem to care
people, however, that’s not true.
(12)depends…

2、hesitating device:
(1)opening:
① repeat題目:先說it’s really interesting(empty comments),利用時間想
depends和可利用的information。實在沒有答案,可以avoid answering the question.
例:如果你當總統,你想改變什麼?
you know, in my country, i have no possibility to become the president. so
i have no idea about it, because it’s not my business.
(2)middle:
① well / actually
② in fact / you know / you see / i mean
③ you know that / the thing is
④ how shall i put it / as a matter of fact
⑤ as far as i know / as far as i concern

例:well, i have been asked to talk about
① maturity
② vagetrianism
③ adoption
(3)development skills

(4)cohesive devices
① reasons can be various / for example
② also / in addition / furthermore
③ similarly / in the same way
④ in contrast / in the other hand / instead
⑤ therefore / accordingly / consequently / in summary
⑥ the most important / surely / in deed / above all
⑦ yet(美語錶轉折)/ after all

(5)check understanding
① are you with me so far?
② do you catch my meaning?
③ closing:
◆ 設問:so, do you think it is(foolish)?
◆ you know, a lot of people share my opinion
◆ …(detail), so far, i give you(3)reasons
(6)correction
只有在出現mislead的時候才進行修改:i mean …
註:每道題的時間不一定用盡。
