阅读本质

阅读考察的本质是单词，单词，单词！因此只要把托福单词书中的单词过一遍阅读基本就稳了。但是单词背诵本身也是有技巧的。

背完所有托福单词所耗费的时间在25天左右，推荐新东方托福单词书乱序版。

托福阅读不像高考阅读，看懂文章选项基本很好选，不像高考阅读经常有些摸不着头脑模棱两可的选项。所以看懂文章是关键。一般来说我是先看题目再看文章对应段落，这样能更具有目的性，阅读速度也更快。

单词背诵方法：

不同人不一样，我是滚轮式背诵。

  1. 每天背诵两节，同时复习前面的四节单词。
  2. 遇到不会的就勾出来。
  3. 背的时候把单词和例句读出来，同时可以联系口语和听力。
  4. 如果能找到一个partner每天监督背诵自然更好。
  5. 每背诵十节单词把这十节不会的单词都看一遍，从而防止艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线。

背单词是所有的基础，对于阅读，听力，口语和写作的提升都是巨大的。

Listening

  1. 大部分时间不要做笔记，直接分段即可。
    • 分段：一篇lecture通常分成好几个部分
    • 段和段之间通常会有比较明显的词汇，形如，So, However, Well等等
    • 分段之后对于听力的整体把握性更高，而且可以根据听力题目的顺序大致判断这个题目属于哪一段，蒙题准确率直线提高
  2. 不做笔记走神怎么办： 分段的时候在草稿纸上打个记号，提醒自己分段了。这样即便上个段落没有听懂，下个段落也可能听懂，不至于一是卡住全篇懵逼。
  3. 什么时候要做笔记：如果遇到列举原因，要素的时候可以适当做笔记，防止出现双选，多选题目。不做笔记也可，一般来说隔的时间短都能记下来。
  4. 做完题目之后检查一遍有无双选题目。
  5. 遇到一大段长难句抓主谓宾，如果抓不到就直接听一些能听懂的词。

Method

  1. 因果论证

    A->F A->B->C->D->E->F（抽象）一定要严谨

    一定是单向因果论证，不要加逻辑分支

    举例子则在最后： A->B->C->D->E->F（具体）一定要具体

    Example: Because people in rural areas live together, they can take care of their families better. Unlike the people in urban areas, who live alone in their scanty flatlets because of the expensive price of apartments, people in rural areas can have more time to get in touch with families since they live together in a big house. Most of the time, when people have more time to spend with their family, they can know the health condition and the income condition of their families better. Therefore, they can help to solve the problems of their families once they find that their families are in trouble. For example, my uncle Jack live with his family for 30 years. Each day after work, he and his family have dinner together and chat with each other about what’s new for them. Therefore, they know each other so well that even a small disease like inflammation can be known by the family. Once the mother of my uncle had a serious stomachache, but fortunately with the help in time of my uncle and my uncle’s wife, she finally recovered without danger.

  2. 因果关系连接词：

    1. Accordingly
    2. In this case
    3. As a result
    4. Consequently
    5. Therefore
    6. Thus
    7. So
    8. Thereby
