SWT一直都是PTE考试的重中之重，但因为机经命中率比较高，考生往往忽略了练习的重要性，背一遍机经就去考试了。考试的时候如果纯靠回忆，很容易在高度紧张的时候忘记，而且一旦题目稍有变化将会不知所措，大大影响作文成绩。由于PTE的交叉打分机制，SWT一定程度上也决定着阅读分数的高低。
今天，Iris老师手把手教你怎么抓住文章主干，找到得分点。
通常的SWT我们会根据文章的分段来帮助梳理文章结构，那么当遇到没有分段的一长段文字我们要怎么进行有效的分段和总结呢？
我们分析一篇高频考题Armed Police，并附上高分参考答案。
先上原文：
Armed police have been brought into NSW schools to reduce crime rates and educate students. The 40 School Liaison Police (SLP) officers have been allocated to public and private high schools across the state. Organisers say the officers, who began work last week, will build positive relationships between police and students. But parent groups warned of potential dangers of armed police working at schools in communities where police relations were already under strain. Among their duties, the SLPs will conduct crime prevention workshops, talking to students about issues including shoplifting, offensive behaviour, graffiti and drugs and alcohol. They can also advise school principals.
解析：和所有的学术性文章一样，每篇文章的开头都是我们需要格外注意的一个部分。很多情况都会像这段开头，直接点明主旨。如果发现是引导的内容，就继续往下读去寻找这篇文章所讨论的主要内容。
当我们读完第一句，就已经明白这篇文章的大致目的了，也就是介绍SLP的主要职责，即reduce crime rates and educate students ，我们可以在这里通过改变词性做一个简单的paraphrase，比如crime reduction and students’ education。
第二句话进一步介绍了另外一个职责，也就是associate students and police，然而一些家长表示担心。我们可以将这两句进行糅合，组成一句话：Although receiving critics and doubts, the School Liaison Police program entered schools for crime reduction and students’ education, as well as associating students and police.
而最后一句among their duties…进一步解释了SLP的职责，但都属于前面的crime reduction and students’ education，可以稍微作Supporting points提一下。而下面的One SLP…很明显是要作详细说明了，那么这边可以进行结构上的划分，前面这部分就可以理解为一个信息点。
第二部分原文：
One SLP, Constable Ben Purvis, began work in the inner Sydney region last week, including at Alexandria Park Community School's senior campus. Previously stationed as a crime prevention officer at The Rocks, he now has 27 schools under his jurisdiction in areas including The Rocks, Redfern and Kings Cross. Constable Purvis said the full time position would see him working on the broader issues of crime prevention. "I am not a security guard," he said. "I am not there to patrol the school. We want to improve relationships between police and schoolchildren, to have positive interaction. We are coming to the school and giving them knowledge to improve their own safety." The use of fake ID among older students is among the issues he has already discussed with principals. Parents' groups responded to the program positively, but said it may spark a range of community reactions.
解析：当我们看到前两个单词就知道后面要举例子了，如果例子只是简单提起就可以在我们的summary里面忽略，但如果出现较长篇幅的举例，我们就需要进行简单总结或是把文章要表达的隐藏含义写出来了。但看到began work in…后可以快速扫过去，这两句话都是在介绍Ben过去的工作细节，掠过不看。
再到最后一句和下面Parents’ groups respond之前都是在讲Purvis分享的自己的工作内容以及感受。那么这个时候我们可以对这个例子做个简单总结，但发现crime prevention，improve relationship都是之前已经总结过的点。那么最后一句话的fake ID issue和discussed with principals可以体现在这个例子里面。
PTE考试文章里，有些会把同一个观点在文章不同位置翻来覆去说，但对评分系统来说重复提同一个概念并不会给你更多的分数，但可以通过有效利用剩余的字数加入一些essential supporting points来充实我们的答案，以增加内容分。
Parents' groups responded to the program positively, but said it may spark a range of community reactions.
这句话相当于整个事件的反馈和结果，即家长对这个项目的态度表示满意，但可能引起社会不同的回应。需要在summary中表现出来。
总结：这样一篇文章的主干部分就显而易见了，同学们要熟练掌握解题方法，举一反三，多加练习，抓住更多的内容分。
再次强调，写完之后一定要留1-2分钟检查语法和拼写哦。
最后附上参考答案：
Although receiving critics and doubts, the School Liaison Police program entered schools for crime reduction and students’ education, as well as associating students and police; these liaison police practice several duties including advice the principals as Constable Purvis did on the fake ID issue, has gained its popularity and recognition amongst parents through hardworking efforts and practical communication about principals, but the reactions may vary among different communities.
