The battalion commander doesn't know much about the training institutions in Fuzhou, so your second question can't be answered, but you can answer the first and third questions.
First of all, the total score of TOEFL is 120. I don't know my current TOEFL listening level, so it is not easy to give targeted suggestions. Here, I will share with you a set of learning methods of TOEFL listening notes. The battalion commander gave specific suggestions on learning methods according to different scores of TOEFL listening, hoping to help you!
The first stage: listening and memorizing words
Applicable people: TOEFL listening score 0-8.
Strictly speaking, students with this score are not practicing the notes used in the exam, but more training the ability to distinguish sounds (listening vocabulary). What do you mean? Suppose we take a Putonghua test for a middle-aged girl for the first time. When you hear the word "Da Xi Ji", you may be a little confused. Probably because your Fortis pronunciation is not standard. When you see the word "big lion", you suddenly realize. Therefore, the core of practice at this stage is to learn correct pronunciation through repeated listening and imitation, and finally reach the level of listening to the words you have learned. I'll give you some outward bound training to understand for yourself: Xiao Mengxu, Cerebellar Axe, Mildew Anger, and Xiao Funi. (The core training method at this stage is to fill in the blanks by digging words. )
The second stage: Listen to the sentences and remember the words.
Applicable people: TOEFL listening score 9- 19.
At this stage, students can basically start practicing notes on crutches. The main goal of this stage is to quickly analyze the core components (subject, predicate and object in most cases) of a sentence after hearing it, and record it. For example, "Daxiji runs very fast, but he can't keep up with mildew and anger." After extracting the core components, this sentence should be "Great West can't keep up with the mildew and anger". Of course, there are too many words written in this way and need to be simplified.
For example, it is simplified to: Siggy can't catch up with anger.
And then simplified to: West Guinea
Simplify again: l
Through this example, we can clearly see the process of simplification. The core components are mostly nouns and verbs, and nouns are suitable for abbreviation (West Guinea) and simplification (L); Verbs are suitable for symbolization (
Stage 3: Listen to the passage and take notes.
Applicable people: TOEFL listening score 20-25.
At this stage, I officially entered the exam note practice. The main goal is to extract the core information points in a paragraph and record them. (The so-called core information points may be several core sentences, or a long description may be summarized into several meanings. ) for example:
There is Tahiti in the zoo! Xiao Mengxu! Cerebellar axe! May is angry! Little Funi! Xiaohai hurts! Fat butterfly! Dajiju! Big flying bag! Da Lai Liu! Strong neck anger! Python shoes! Xiao Bai, let's go! Toliao! Dai Xu! Poor cat! Big Noto! Big fish! Dante's goods! Wu Dui!
To sum up, such a long paragraph has only one meaning: there are many animals in the zoo. Of course, the real exam is unlikely to be so easy, and you may encounter two problems:
1. I can't find the core sentence, but I feel that every sentence is quite core.
2. I can't sum up the core meaning and feel that the information is scattered.
Don't be afraid when you encounter these problems, just consider it as the last stage of intensive exercise. You can write down every sentence, and then read your notes to find out where the core is, or see if you can summarize it. The essence of these problems is the lack of understanding of the logic between sentences. Because our premise is that you can understand and write down the key information of each sentence or most of the sentences, and then you don't know which sentences are more important in the paragraph and what the core meaning of the whole paragraph is. It must be unclear how these sentences are connected to form this article. This unclear state is probably temporary, because the brain is busy processing the information of a single sentence and has no time to understand and think about the logic between sentences, so it can listen to it several times at first, take notes, and simplify it while re-processing the logic between sentences. (Or listen to a shorter and less difficult paragraph first. )
Stage 4: Listen and draw levels.
Applicable people: TOEFL listening score 25-30.
The core task of the last stage is to define the hierarchical division of the article and circle the pre-determined test sites. In fact, it is not impossible to practice the first three stages in a down-to-earth manner and get full marks. The fourth stage is more like an insurance, helping everyone get as close as possible to full marks. Let's look at the first task at this stage: dividing the level of the article. This is mainly aimed at the form of listening test, because after all, it doesn't present an article that has been divided into paragraphs in front of us like reading, and the stem directly indicates which paragraph to go to find the answer (simply don't listen too well! ) I have a poor hearing and need to judge where to go. And this is very important for the topic selection. Therefore, in addition to summarizing the core content in the paragraph, we should also pay attention to the transformation between the levels of the article. Familiarity with the framework of common articles can help you reduce a lot of burden. The second task: predict the location of the test center. This point is mainly aimed at the tips of the test sites. Through the study and practice of the tips of the test sites, everyone will have a little feeling about where the questions will be. This task is to constantly strengthen this feeling, and finally know where the test sites of at least four questions are, and even in what form. The next topic selection process should not be too easy. (Practice method: Try to mark the test sites when listening for the first time, correct the mistakes marked after completing the questions, make up for the missed ones, and listen to the notes for 2-3 times repeatedly to feel the characteristics of the test sites. )
These four stages of practice are divided according to the ideal situation. In fact, we are unlikely to achieve the goal of 100% in one stage before entering the next stage. For example, if more than 90% of the words can be recognized instantly, you can practice sentences. You can get 10% pronunciation discrimination in the process of practicing sentences. When 80% of the sentence structure can grasp the main body, I begin to practice paragraphs and so on. Of course, as mentioned above, if there are really difficulties in a certain stage, go back to the previous stage of practice and lay a good foundation before continuing.
Formally speaking, there is no standard answer to what notes should be written at the end. Some students learn to draw, some students are all symbols, some students are all English words, and some students don't take notes at all. All these forms can be used. Because notes are not the ink you left on the paper at all, but the comprehensive training of understanding, memory and attention balance distribution (listening and recording, the ideal attention ratio is 8:2 or 7:3). The ultimate goal of this kind of training is to quickly grasp the key points of any speaker, clearly grasp the expression logic of ta, and even predict the trend of what ta will say. This is the ability that TOEFL listening test (including comprehensive oral and writing) wants everyone to have, and it is also an indispensable ability for everyone to adapt to studying abroad. So let's be more sincere, less routine and practice in a down-to-earth manner.
