The new syllabus shows that the new N2 test listening will be changed from two types of questions to five types of questions.

* The examination time is 50 minutes, with a total score of 60 points, and the single subject is higher than the benchmark score.

Brief description:

"Theme understanding" is to listen to the information necessary to solve a specific theme in a certain scene and ask yourself if you can choose the right action. Simply put, I feel that this kind of topic is the behavior choice topic in the traditional topic. The only difference is that four options are printed, which is much simpler. Content comprehension topics are relatively easy to understand, so there is no gap between reading options.

"Understanding the main points" is a topic to examine whether we can summarize the main points in the text. In the N2 scale, we mainly examine whether we can understand the speaker's emotions and reasons. I think this part of the topic is a revision of the traditional topic, such as the reason topic, the date topic, and the position relationship topic. The overall idea of the topic has not changed much. Like the topic of "topic understanding", four options are printed, but because the content is slightly difficult for "topic understanding", the interval of reading options is set.

"Summary understanding" is to examine whether you can understand the whole original text without asking questions in advance, and then judge the speaker's intentions and opinions. This kind of topic is demanding, and the question is only raised at the end. Candidates must understand a large article before they can answer the final question, and the options are not printed, so they all need to understand. In view of this part of the content, it is suggested that traditional topics such as the speaker's point of view and talking points can be used to get rid of the initial questions and train.

"Comprehensive understanding" is a problem of understanding the original content with more complex content and more information. There are two types of questions in this kind of topic. The first one is similar to the general understanding topic, except that the length and difficulty of the article have increased. The second type of question is one question and two questions, which is similar to JTEST's topic and explanation questions, but it also prints out the options, which reduces some difficulties.

In short, the above four topics are just some changes in form. From the content and scope of the topic, there is not much change from the traditional topic. "Topic understanding" and "main point understanding" are simpler than traditional topics, while "abstract understanding" and "comprehensive understanding" are more difficult than traditional topics.

"Immediate response" is to see if you can choose the most appropriate answer to the other person's question. Are all made up of recordings. Although this kind of topic has not appeared in the traditional examination, it is obviously based on the "response question" in JTEST, and the ideas and requirements of the topic are basically the same. Therefore, for the study of such topics, you can refer to many materials in JTEST.

Second, how to take the new N2 exam

1. In the future, the examination will further improve the requirements for oral expression:

① Changes and ellipsis in spoken language (such as "~ てぃる" → ~てる ",~てしまぅ →" ~ちゃぅ ")

② Phonetic intonation

③ Understand repeated and incomplete sentences.

(4) Understand how to express the meaning of a sentence with a single word and reverse the sentence pattern.

⑤ Understand the information omitted between speakers.

2. The exam will improve the practical application questions in the future.

Adding some topics closer to the real scene can not only receive information, but also judge what to say or do next. This is a new hot spot in the future.

3. Learning suggestions

How to treat the real questions over the years? Traditional questions have gone through 24 years. Is it effective to practice real questions in the face of reform? What's the effect? Comprehensive analysis of the reform plan, I think 60% of the topics are modified on the basis of the original topics, and most of them are formal reforms, so the old topics can not only be used, but also be the most fundamental in learning. The key is to choose and change these topics in future exercises, so as to carry out future reforms more pertinently. It is suggested that we should pay more attention to the cause, date, positional relationship, the speaker's point of view, talking points and behavior choice in the future.

(2) What else can you do besides the real questions? I think it is very necessary to introduce the topic practice of JTEST. The "immediate response" questions in future exams will be very close to the "response questions" in JTEST now, so it is necessary to take these questions out for training separately. In addition, "comprehensive understanding" is very similar to JTEST's topic and explanation questions, only the options are listed, so this sub-topic can be reformed and used for reference.

③ Summarize the common scenes in daily conversations: "Questioning performance" mostly involves such topics. If you can sum up more in your study, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

④ Strengthen business Japanese and common sense appropriately: Although you don't have a complete and clear impression on the future examination mode, don't be too nervous and don't add a lot of burdens at once. Personally, I think BJT is too commercial not only in words but also in requirements. The task in the study is too heavy, and there may be at most 1-2 business topics, which should be a common business scene, so candidates don't have to put too much.
