4 道题是怎么递进的
一组我们自己写的题,情境是:你在参加一项关于大学生睡眠习惯的线上研究。每道题都比上一道要求多一点。
情境:大学生睡眠习惯的线上研究
- 1 · 关于你
Thanks for taking part in our study. To start, what time do you usually go to bed on a weeknight, and what keeps you up?
感谢参加研究。先说说,你工作日一般几点睡?什么让你睡得晚?
- 2 · 一段经历
Can you tell me about a time when not getting enough sleep affected your studies?
讲一次睡眠不足影响学习的经历。
- 3 · 你的看法
Some people say universities shouldn’t schedule classes before 9 a.m. Do you agree?
有人说大学不该在早上 9 点前排课,你同意吗?
- 4 · 更大的议题
Some experts think schools should teach students how to manage their sleep, the same way they teach study skills. What’s your view?
有专家认为学校应该像教学习方法一样,教学生管理睡眠。你怎么看?
每题怎么给分
下面是 ETS 对每一档的描述,我们用自己的话转述。注意 2 分档:大部分在复述题目里的话。
| 分数 | 什么样的回答 |
|---|---|
| 5 | 切题、展开充分、语速自然,用词准确也有变化。 |
| 4 | 切题,但前后衔接弱,偶尔停顿。 |
| 3 | 展开有限,停顿和填充词多。 |
| 2 | 和问题勉强相关,多半在复述题目里的话。 |
| 1 | 只有零散的词,大部分听不懂。 |
| 0 | 没有回答、不是英语,或和问题无关。 |
45 秒怎么说满
正常语速 45 秒大约 100 个词。分四段说,不用赶也能说满。
同一道题,两档回答
两段都回答上面第 3 题,是我们写来对比的示范回答,分数为练习估计,不是官方分数。
Some people say universities shouldn’t schedule classes before 9 a.m. Do you agree?
Yes, I agree universities shouldn’t schedule classes before 9 a.m. Because, um, students need sleep. Early classes are very early and many students are tired. So, uh, they cannot study good. If classes start later, students can sleep more and, um, they are more focus in class. So I agree with this.
- 开头整句照搬题目。
- 理由只有「学生需要睡觉」,没有例子。
- study good、more focus 两处语法错,几乎每句之间都有 um、uh。
I mostly agree, because a lot of students simply aren’t awake at eight. Most of us finish assignments or work part-time until late, so an early class means five or six hours of sleep. Last semester I had statistics at 8 a.m., and I took notes without really following anything, then relearned it all at night. Moving it to ten would have saved me hours. The catch is that later classes push other things into the evening, so universities would need to spread the timetable out, not just shift it. Still, I’d rather have students awake in class than just present.
- 先表态,理由落到实处:作业和兼职做到很晚。
- 举了自己上学期早上 8 点统计课的例子。
- 补了一个顾虑和解决办法,听得出想过这件事。
三种常见的丢分
用题目原话开头能拖几秒,但什么也没说。ETS 的评分标准里,大部分在复述题目的回答是 2 分。
Because students need sleep 只是理由,不算展开。没有例子和解释,就停在 3 分:展开有限。
频繁停顿和填充词也写在 3 分档里。四段先排好,开口时就知道下一句要说什么。
