近期，听力成为了大家7炸8炸路上的拦路虎。通过分析他们平时的复习情况以及考场上的反馈，我们不难发现，大部分的同学在Summarize Spoken Text这个题型上存在着这样或那样的问题，更有些同学对于Summarize Spoken Text这个题型甚至是无比抗拒的。

在平时练习中，很多人都不知道应该如何练习Summarize Spoken Text或者如何利用手头上数量有限的机经原文。因此在真实考试中，在Summarize Spoken Text的答题过程中，当听了整个文章后，因为对这个题型的抗拒以及平时练习的不足，这个部分总是答得不够好，最后影响到听力的部分。

今天我们一篇近期的Summarize Spoken Text新题来为大家介绍一下Summarize Spoken Text应该怎样准备，怎样答题。

首先，我们必须要为大家强调一点：

有机经固然好，机经是最好的官方练习题，但是机经只能锦上添花，却不能雪中送炭。我们应该通过对机经进行练习来提高我们自身的水平和能力，而不是死记硬背机经中的回忆。

下面，让我们通过听力原文来剖析一下Safe Drinking Water这道Summarize Spoken Text：

Today I want to talk about water and the law that surround drinking water, to talk about its quality, talk about what your rights are to clean water, to also give you a sense of what key threats are to drinking water, what your exposure might be,and what we might to do about it, both legally but also personally. Water is a critical component of our environment and our bodies. Your body is close to 70 percent water. You can go for several weeks, two or three on average, without food. You can only go for about four minutes without air. And you can go for maybe four or five days without water before you die. So water is absolutely critical. And one of the key arguments I want to make today is that it’s a largely neglected area of environmental law, given the rapid increase in our knowledge about chemical threats to water quality and where those threats come from.

听完全文，我们可以将这篇文章分为以下几层：

第一层：蓝色部分

第一部分主要描述了需要讨论的问题，包括水及饮用水相关的法律，水质，人们对水资源的责任，饮用水存在的主要问题，以及我们所能做的。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

Things about water or drinking water, including its related laws,quality, key threats and human’s rights, need to be considered.

第二层：绿色部分

第二部分主要描述了为什么水对于我们的环境和个人身体来说是重要的资源，包括我们身体包含70％的水，在没有水的情况下只能存活4到5天。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

Water is critical for our environment and our bodies, because people cannot survive without water after four to five days.

第三层：橙色部分

第三部分主要讲述了水资源是环境法里被忽略的一个领域，我们需要快速提高自身在化学物质对水质的污染，以及这些污染的来源。

因此，这段可以简单的概括为：

Water is a largely neglected area of environmental law, so we should increase our knowledge about chemical threats to water quality and the source of threats.

概括为以下几点：

· Things about water or drinking water, including its related laws, quality, key threats to it and human’s rights on it, need to be considered.

· Water is critical for our environment and our bodies, because people cannot survive without water after four to five days.

· Water is a largely neglected area of environmental law, so we should increase our knowledge about chemical threats to water quality and the source of threats.

当大家听到这些内容之后，我们只需要将这些内容用连接词有逻辑地串联出来就可以了。

Things about water or drinking water, including its related laws,quality, key threats and human’s rights, need to be considered. Moreover, water is critical for our environment and our bodies, because people cannot survive without water after four to five days. However, water is a largely neglected area of environmental law, so we should increase our knowledge about chemical threats to water quality and the source of threats.

通过上方几个简单的连接词的串联，我们就可以在短时间内迅速解决掉这道近期的Summarize Spoken Text。其实总体来说，如果你已经能听懂一篇文章，那么接下来你只需要保证尽量减少语法和拼写错误，同时有效地运用连接词就可以了。
