——Skimming

对于PTE考试的阅读和写作部分来说，一定有同学有这样的经历，做题做到最后总是有那么一两道题直接被电脑切掉，留下考试的遗憾。

首先，你要明白语言考试并不是考查你认识所有单词，因此即便忽略“某些”信息，也绝不会影响你的成绩。

读懂不等于读完整！

毫无疑问，阅读上吃亏的童鞋，不仅要加快阅读速度，最重要的就是通过“skimming”来过滤有效信息和关键点了，从而避免浪费时间在阅读无效信息上。

如何有效的运用skimming？又有哪些答题策略？今天的推送文章一一为你进行详细讲解。

PTE Academic is a timed exam. Students are expected to read paragraphs of texts and answer several questions under timed conditions. An important strategy to use for all the sections of the exam, especially in the reading and writing section is skimming. By skimming the text and identifying the key ideas, tone and intent of the author students will save valuable time and can focus on answering the question instead of reading the text.

What is skimming?

什么是Skimming？

Skimming is gliding through the text to identify key ideas and to disregard irrelevant information.

The next question is “How do I skim a text?”

PTE Skimming应该怎么做？

To answer that question, let’s consider some strategies: always read the first sentence of the paragraph, this is the topic sentence and identifies what the paragraph will talk about. If you understand the first sentence well, move on to the next sentence. Now, in this sentence, identify the subject and the verb of the sentence. This will then further clarify what was stated in the first sentence. Continue to do this for the rest of the sentence in the paragraph. When you reach the last sentence, read that sentence because that is usually the concluding sentence and summarizes what the paragraph is talking about.

Let’s put things into perspective by looking at an example.

联系一道Summarize written text实例

People have a right to know about those in power. In the case of politicians, the public should be aware of corruption or inappropriate behavior. The public also has a right to access the lives of celebrities, who generate revenue by making films, music, TV, sporting appearances or concerts, because their income is dependent on the general public.

解析

By reading the first sentence, you know that the paragraph will talk about the rights of individuals to know about those in power. The second sentence talks about politicians, this exemplifies the phrase ‘those in power’ of the first sentence. The subject for the second sentence is ‘people’ and the verb phrase is ‘should be aware’. By reading this you know that this sentence is talking about the rights of people to be aware right away without having to finish reading the sentence. The third sentence further explains the concepts and provides specific examples.

答案

From this paragraph, it is apparent that the key idea is in the first sentence, and the meaning of the entire paragraph can be summarized into: “People have a right to know about those in power, including politicians and celebrities.”

你一定会很惊讶，居然skimming下来paragraph只有只有十几个单词？！其实根据PTE考试的summarize written text题来说，需要你用一句话（不超过75words）来总结大约up to 300word的文章，也就是说要精炼到原文的四分之一甚至更少的文字！！

难怪skimming可以帮到你写作阅读题目！😉
