新托福综合写作官方要求,托福写作考试第一部分是综合写作,称为Integrated Writing,包括对Reading、Listening、Writing三项的考查。
托福考试非常重视语言综合运用能力,而Integrated Writing考试形式的设计正是模拟了国外求学的真实场景,综合写作对阅读、听力和写作的考查分别对应着考生出国留学需具备的各项能力,包括:
·阅读摘取重要信息的能力
·听力摘取重要信息的能力
·笔记能力·信息整合能力
·总结概括能力
·语言表达能力
综合写作考查考生的语言综合应用能力,在写作之前考生先要阅读一篇文章,用时3分钟;倒计时3分钟结束后,阅读从屏幕上消失。接下来考生将听一段听力,与前面的阅读话题一致,时间约为2分钟。随后,考生正式进入写作界面,倒计时20分钟。
Integrated Writing要求对比阅读和听力中的内容,并总结听力中的重点内容,指出听力如何反驳或支持了阅读内容。目前的实际考试中,听力均反驳阅读内容。
综合写作中如何提取阅读和听力部分的重点信息,并能够快速梳理综合写作结构、常见反驳方式、语言衔接,是考生在备考过程中需要特别注意的内容。
Integrated Writing官方介绍
在进行Integrated Writing任务之前,让我们先来了解一下官方对于Integrated Writing的介绍。
·Test takers read a short text of about 230—300 words(reading time, 3minutes)on an academic topic.
·Test takers may take notes on the reading passage.
·The reading passage disappears from the screen during the lecture that follows.It reappears when test takers begin writing so they can refer to it as they work.
·Test takers listen to a speaker discuss the same topic from a different perspective.The listening passage is about 230—300 words long(listening time, 2 minutes).
·The listening passage provides additional information that relates to points made in the reading passage.Test takers may take notes on the listening passage.
·Test takers write a summary in connected English prose of important points made in the listening passage, and explain how these relate to the key points of the reading passage.Suggested response length is 150—225 words; however, there is no penalty for writing more as long as it is in response to the task presented.
·Response time: 20 minutes
根据以上这些要求,可知Integrated Writing的流程为:首先是3分钟阅读,之后进行2分钟左右的听力,最后阅读重新出现。考生根据听到的内容,结合阅读,客观地完成写作部分,无须添加个人观点。
